Penn Oaks Golf Club

id everything she could to make sure we had the best Wedding Day. Keep in mind, this is also a private Golf Course. Some decisions will be made around that so in some situations, the bride and groom will need to be flexible.

e year we worked with them. There is something to be said about the integrity of the club too- with covid still going on they did not charge me a minimum when most venues still were. This was a huge reason we are even happier with Penn Oaks as we had to cut our guest list down to 80 people for immunocompromised family members. Our guests told us all night how delicious the cocktail hour food was and how great the drinks were. They loved the tent and ballroom area, too and commented on how beautiful not only the reception area was, but the surrounding golf course and outdoor area. I loved every minute of my wedding and every detail Dawn and her staff put together. It was the best day of my life and the Penn Oaks staff made everything so perfect for myself, my husband, and our guests. Thank you so much Penn Oaks!

as delicious and the day was unforgettable. Every detail was covered, and my guests raved about everything. It was a dream come true and I just wanted to thank EVERYONE at Penn Oaks who helped to make this happen. We appreciate your effort. I will never forget this day and I would have given it 10 stars if I could have. Book your wedding here, you will be happy you did!!!

s and every question we had was answered (even if it had to be looked into). From beginning to end, Penn Oaks has worked closely with us to make our day special. Our meal choices were amazing and the guests have been raving about the food and site since the wedding. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, the waitstaff and bartenders were attentive and pleasant, and the wedding coordinators; I cannot say enough good things about them. Carina made our wedding planning process so pleasant. When COVID made an impact in our area, we were kept informed of any and all changes that could be made to our day. Decreases in guest count, how the ceremony might change, how the cocktail hour and reception could be done so that we could still have the wedding of our dreams. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Penn Oaks every time. We extend a heart filled thanks to the Penn Oaks team for making the biggest day of our life (so far) even better than we could have imagined.

the photos you dream of! We were so fortunate enough to find this venue when we did during a global pandemic and be able to plan a back up wedding in two months, and have it be exactly what we envisioned. It was more than we could of ever asked for in our special day! You will not be disappointed!! Ramona is amazing, and I could not of survived my wedding day without her useful insights and always lending a helpful hand.

verything to the patio made for much better aesthetics and acoustics overall. We’re still getting compliments on how beautifully everything turned out. We could not be happier with our choice. Our wedding coordinator, Carina, was absolutely amazing with us. Her communication was on point and she was always there for us, ready with an answer whenever we had questions. Especially during all the uncertainty in the height of the pandemic. We can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend you work with her! Overall, Penn Oaks were super accommodating, flexible, and understanding. Hands down, best choice we made.

th the ups - the venue was beautiful, Lisa the banquet coordinator was so helpful and kind, the food was great, the serving staff was great (some issues with staff taking their masks on and off) and again it ran really smoothly.  For the downs - to sum it up, Ramona was not pleasant to work with at times. She was great in the planning process by responding to emails so quickly, however, I brought in my own day-of coordinator for my wedding day (to be there for the wedding party - not to help with the venue) as she was a part of my pre-COVID plans and she was such an incredible person to work with, I didn’t want to lose her! Ramona was so incredibly rude to her (my day-of coordinator) and my photographers. My bridal party also didn’t enjoy being around by Ramona. She ordered them around and at one point yelled at my day-of coordinator to “not tell her staff what to do” after she only asked a question as to why the food wasn’t as planned (my photographer can back me up on this as she was standing right there). I also cannot explain how UPSET I was when the ceremony was planned to start in 2 minutes after we just had gotten back from photos, and I said to Ramona I needed 5-10 minutes to sit down, eat a granola bar, and confirm that the live stream was working for our families who could not attend. I was IGNORED and Ramona proceeded to line up the bridal party and get things moving. I was NEVER even asked or told if I was ready to start the ceremony. Luckily, the live stream was up and running but there was no communication in regards to something that was so important to me. My groom was directed to get his groomsman in place and again was NOT asked if all family had arrived and if we were ready to start.  Luckily, my day-of coordinator (who again I hired privately who was there for me), helped make the day run so smoothly and had tough skin, as Ramona was so incredibly rude to her. Ramona was too narrow-minded and not friendly to any of my vendors or wedding party. They felt very unwelcome as Ramona only cared about the second wedding coming later in the day (my wedding was an afternoon wedding). It seemed like she just wanted us in and out as fast as possible before “the other bride” arrived and started to get ready. Again, the food was great along with the serving staff, but I would not recommend this place to anyone who has to work with Ramona.

aks was able to accommodate us with minor adjustments for safety. Then comes the day of the final payment. No issues at all with getting our invoice prepared and scheduling a meeting to drop off the check. After that last encounter, everything went south FAST. Once they received our money, they were already moving on to the next wedding and no longer had any care about our big day. We ran into multiple issues day of that were entirely produced by their incredibly unprofessional staff. 1) they were impossible with decorating for my wedding. My aunt came and did the bulk of the work but they fought her tooth and nail all day while she was decorating coming up with new rules that they never mentioned before. 2) in the morning while getting ready in the bridal suite Ramona came in and yelled at my bridal party for wearing pajamas to use the restrooms (it was our getting ready PJs I spent a fortune on - mind you!) and had my bridal party, MUA and hair stylist, and myself in shock and livid. I immediately asked to speak to my coordinator and was disgusted that an actual staff member would come in a YELL at my bridal party and myself. 3) End of the night. There was countless we were told they would pack up our decorations and such and we would be able to pick them up the next morning. I kid you not, at 11:05 PM a staff member (Lisa) came in and asked who was cleaning up my wedding and when I explained no one we were told multiple times Penn Oaks would and we would be back in the morning, she rolled her eyes and said that wasn’t the case. My husband and I didn’t sleep that night. Showed up at Penn Oaks at 7 am and nothing was cleaned up or packed up. In fact, many of my expensive decorations were destroyed from the dew sitting on them for hours. A few items including my champagne flutes are still missing. The photo booth which was including in our very expensive package was never opened until late in the night and no one maintained it so I never received those pictures. At 9:54 a group of our guests were told NOT to touch our end of the station that would open at 10. The food was already there and paid for so no idea how that happened. They never put out our yard games which we added for social distancing purposes. The worst part of writing this is the heart break. I loved Penn Oaks and told so many brides to have their wedding their ESPECIALLY during covid. We left with nothing but sick feelings about the way we were treated. I personally emailed Steve to have a discussion about this before posting the review in hopes that I could end this by saying things were reconciled but after two weeks and no answer, I’m going to do what I think is fair for other brides. My other vendors kept the night amazing and flawless outside of the horrible service of Penn Oaks. I will also give credit where it’s due - the food was amazing and the grounds are beautiful. In retrospect, I wish I chose a different venue because most venues are beautiful and have amazing food but treat their costumers with respect even after the final payment.

e loved everything they have to offer we even planned our rehearsal dinner there. As soon as we sat down for dinner they also brought us out a plate of all the apps we didn’t have a chance to eat during cocktail hour. We didn’t even think about this- but they did. Planning a wedding during covid and having to reschedule should have been a nightmare, but thanks to Carina she took the stress away with her compassionate personality and wanting to make it the best day for us! It was way better than we ever thought possible. We loved Carina and will miss working with her. Penn Oaks- thank you! We can’t wait to go back and celebrate our 1st Anniversary!

mmits itself to serving as delicious food, as Penn Oaks does. From start to finish, every single wait staff member that I encountered knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing on our wedding day. Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful the day was and exceptional the food and service was. Our coordinator, Dawn, made everything simple and truly knows how to guide a bride! The day-of coordinator, Lisa, consistently checked on me, my husband, and our families during the wedding to make sure we had what we needed. I can't say enough good things!! Our wedding & reception would not have been the same anywhere else!

ped inside the property. The ball room has ample space and easily housed our 120 person guest list with space to accommodate many many more. The real gem of Penn Oaks is the reception space. With a beautiful chandelier stretching across the entire ceiling space, you will feel as though you are being married under the stars. We could not have imagined a group of individuals, led by our coordinator Sarah, care, support, and invest so much time and energy into our wedding as they did. Even in our most pressure filled moments, sending multiple emails per day, Sarah became the rock we needed through the wedding process. Simply put, she made the entire wedding process a breeze and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We recommend her to anyone seeking a coordinator that will make it her life to ensure your special day is everything you imagine and more. We guarantee Penn oaks will not only create the day you always imagined, it will exceed your expectations and create a day you never imagined possible. We love Penn Oaks and are indebted to them for the rest of our lives. Thank you for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

hey were willing to negotiate! Although we live out-of-state, the entire wedding process could not have gone any smoother. Our coordinator, Carina, was seriously amazing. She was kind, professional, proactive and patient- and she can bustle a dress like no other. From what we were told, the entire Penn Oaks staff (even the waiters) are full-time, and I did not realize the importance of this until the day of the wedding. Whenever I needed help or had a question, I could grab any member of the team and they were able to assist right away. Carina and the event manager tailed my husband and me the entire night. They always made sure we had food or a drink in our hand. Looking back, I would have not changed one aspect of the entire process. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Carina!

ay after a huge snow storm on one of the coldest days on recent record, but that did not stop them one bit. This was a huge relief, and the parking lot was plowed and salted so we didn't have to worry about anyone slipping and falling. Not to mention, we are still talking about how good the food was!!

ghout the whole planning process and answered all questions we had. The bridal suite was newly redone and the perfect set up to get hair and makeup done in there. The food was AMAZING - we have been getting so many compliments on how good the food was - they said it was the best they've had at a wedding. The venue was extremely accommodating. I can't say enough good things about the venue and highly recommend to any brides out there! You get so much for your money and the quality is there too!! You won't be disappointed!!

husband and I were taken care of during the reception. Sarah, our coordinator, is one of the best people I’ve ever met. She’s very good at her job and is such a sweet and friendly person. Sarah is part of the reason we booked Penn Oaks! But the overall venue was great and they even had a place for the guys to hang out before the ceremony, which my husband really loved! Overall, nothing but positive feedback for Penn Oaks!

-of resource. She is the best! She's very responsive to e-mail and was always helpful and positive. She made sure we were on top of our responsibilities as she structures it so that you have everything done about 10 days prior to your big day so you're not worrying about last minute things the day of. My wedding guests still talk about the food spread and how much they loved everything they ate. I really can't think of one negative to say about this venue or its staff.

s gorgeous for pictures and for our outdoor ceremony. Thankfully it didn't not rain, but if it did, I knew we were in good hands and their tented area would have been just as great. From the beginning, our coordinator Sarah did a fantastic job. She always made sure we were happy and made the planning process a breeze. Everyone the day of the wedding was so attentive and great! Sarah and Lisa made sure there were no issues and it was the perfect day. I am so happy we went with them and cannot say enough great things about them! My guests are still talking about how this was the best wedding they've attended!

inator/director regarding communication suggestions and was extremely impressed at her receipt of the suggestions and her genuine goal to make every bride and grooms day exceptional and unforgettable.

Throughout the process I worked with Carina and she was wonderful. She made sure all the details were in and organized and assured me every step of the way. She even sewed my dress in the middle of the reception due to my button being missing. Steve the owner also made me feel great every time I saw him and let me know they were going to make my day great, and it was true! I got so many compliments on the food and that it was the best afternoon wedding people have been to!

at we were in great hands. The setting is beautiful. Rain or shine, they have a beautiful ceremony and reception space. Carina was on top of every detail and had an answer/solution for all of our questions and concerns. Throughout the planning process, I never doubted that the day of was going to go smoothly, because she was so calm, organized, and prepared for any situation. Everyone we interacted with throughout our time working with Penn Oaks went out of their way to make us feel taken care of. On a couple of occasions the week before the wedding when two of my bridesmaids and I stopped by to drop off decorations, various members of the grounds crew stopped what they were doing to help us carry things in or drive us up to the front door in a golf cart. When our wedding day came, every single thing was perfect, and beautiful, and prepared exactly as planned. Everyone there that day went to such effort to help give us exactly the day that we had been hoping for. If your budget allows, the fireworks display is an amazing addition, and something your guests aren't likely to have seen other weddings. Finally, while you can't put a price tag on the peace of mind that they gave us throughout the planning process and up until the wedding, the value you get at Penn Oaks is phenomenal. The delicious food options, the customer service, the dedication they give to their couples, and just the sheer amount that they provide as part of their wedding packages, is truly remarkable. The contract is super simple, with no hidden extra charges for anything, which we so appreciated. We loved Penn Oaks, and we're so grateful for the amazing and unforgettable day they gave us. Highly recommended :)

was so helpful and accommodating through every step of the process. I can't say enough kind words about the staff there and how warm and friendly they always were. Penn Oaks really knows how to put together the perfect event, from the planning process all the way up to the big day. My guests have not stopped raving about the food especially!!!

I loved that I could have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one gorgeous location. Carina was my coordinator and she went above and beyond anything I could have expected! She helped me from the beginning with the details and on the day-of made it so that I didn't have to worry about anything! She even bustled my dress and fetched me shoes to change into for the reception. The prices are amazingly reasonable and include so much, such as the wedding cake, alcohol, and more. They have their own centerpieces and table numbers that you can use if you wish. The food tasted so good and the tasting several months prior was included. The bridal suite is also so nice - it even has an entire salon setup. There is so much more to say about how great Penn Oaks is, but it is such a great choice especially for brides who do not want to have to worry about their wedding!
