I want to start by saying that our day was so perfect and wonderful and Penn Oaks Golf Club made our wedding a dream come true! When I began my search for a venue I wanted a mansion wedding with a tent and all the works and was complete against... any country club venue. Boy, was I ever so wrong. By listening to the advice of one of my close relatives, I got over myself and made the appointment, with absolutely no expectations. When we met Dawn and saw the facilities it was love at first sight. The banquet room was gorgeous, it had afire place and the 90 degree angle of windows, which gave it that personal feel (not conference room like), the tent was amazing with chandeliers and drapery (not a pitched up tent, like at other venues), the tent was built on right off of the banquet room and then there was the ceremony space, right off the tent (a perfect flow) a beautiful outside with so many flowers and a gazebo! The venue was so perfect, if it rained (which it did not) I would be OK with having the ceremony in the tent space, that says a lot when I refused to get married inside. Now that is the venue! Lets get to the staff, our coordinator was Dawn. She was amazing to work with and helped me with all the little details and all the steps. I work full/all the time and planning a wedding should be really stressful. Dawn made me feel at ease and was always there to remind me of my next steps. So much so that I had everything I needed (guestbook, place cards, wedding favors etc.) dropped off to her the Wednesday before our big day. She even checked my champagne flutes and anything glass to make sure there were no cracks or damages! I can't thank her enough. And now for the wedding day its self! I was able to drop of everything (dress, shoes, etc.) before getting my hair done so everything was ready when I arrived. When I arrived, was I ever so lucky, Dawn and Lisa were both there to make sure my whole day ran smoothly and it did. All timing was perfect so that we still could enjoy our evening, even Lisa sat us down and made us eat (from what I hear most brides do not get to enjoy that luxury)! It was the most beautiful day. Now, lastly the guests, unless no one is telling me, I have had only great things said from the ceremony, food and reception. We have been married just over a month and family and friends still are raving me and complimenting me that I could not have picked a better venue. And now to all the brides to be, most importantly to me was cost, my husband and I had some help, but most of the cost was on us. I wanted the mansion venue, where I would have had to provide everything, tables, chairs linens!!! Penn Oaks, included all the food all the drinks, cake and centerpieces and most importantly came with Dawn!, if anything Penn Oaks needs to raise their prices for all that is included!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to everyone at Penn Oaks! Ladies, please do not do what I did and ignore this venue! Take a chance, I did and would not change a think about our wedding day!
