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!

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.

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.

I just had a COVID wedding at Penn Oaks in their pub patio room. It was a beautiful room however the whole event had its ups and downs. From a wedding spectator, the wedding went very smoothly, but from the bride's view, it did not. To start wi...
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.

Brides beware! I booked Penn Oaks in early 2019 and had my wedding there on 8/8/20. Leading up to the big day, I had nothing but wonderful things to say about Penn Oaks. With the pandemic, wedding planning was so stressful but thankfully Penn O...
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.

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!

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!

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 :)

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!

She was so helpful to my husband and I, as we were newbies to wedding planning and had NO IDEA what we were doing. She encouraged us to shop around and even gave us a list of questions to ask other vendors. Long story short, Penn Oaks was by far the best bang for our buck, and we booked our wedding for May 2018. Throughout the process, the Penn Oaks team couldn't have been more amazing. Dawn was there every step of the way to make sure we were feeling good and did her best to alleviate any stress we had. Also, a huge shout out to Steve DiMarco, the owner and GM. Leading up to the wedding, we stopped by Penn Oaks frequently, Steve not only knew us by name, but treated us like family. We also witnessed him setting up and scrubbing chairs himself prior to another couple's wedding - have you ever heard of the owner doing such a thing?! They are just such a team there that we knew our day would be amazing. Fast forward to our wedding day - it was raining all week and I was in panic mode. Dawn and Steve ensured us that they would take care of everything. And they did. Throughout the night, we had multiple guests tell us that our cocktail hour was the best they had ever been to - SO much food, and it was all delicious! The rave continued on with dinner, and the rest of the evening. Lisa, the banquet manager, checked in on us constantly to make sure everything was perfect, and it was. From planning to execution, you will not be disappointed with Penn Oaks. Everything was just so easy, which is what you need throughout this process.

I was originally told we would be the only event at the venue that day, but there were several things going on that afternoon. I was not thrilled about that, but it all worked out. Also, my florist was not able to hang the floating votive candles to my floral centerpieces because Penn Oaks said it was a fire hazard. That is understandable, I would just like to have been told that before walking out and discovering they were not there. All in all it was a wonderful day and a beautiful venue! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! Thank you Penn Oaks for such a memorable and special day!

venue and he gave us a free dinner at the club. The day of our wedding was everything we planned for. I got so many compliments on our food. Everything came out HOT!(which doesn't always happen at weddings) Crab cakes were real crab cakes, and not just filler. Our apps were great. We are Polish on both sides and they accommodated us by making pierogis for one of our app dishes! I initially wanted a fall wedding. However, our budget could only afford a winter wedding with the discount. We had our wedding December 2, 2017. The venue looked beautiful throughout with all the christmas decorations-so happy we picked this date! The staff was great, we even pulled some of them out on the dance floor!! We did have band and we put them in the tent area. Also happy we did this because it gave guests an area to actually talk and hear each other. We also splurged on the fireworks-WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!

It wasn’t a big deal because people didn’t really realize - I believe; but I thought I should mention about it because I personally like my champagne cold.

On the day of the wedding Penn Oaks' staff were so nice, welcoming and tended to our every need. No need to worry about the food either. Our guests made sure to express how tasty the food was! Our family is accustomed to Caribbean food and during our food tasting we asked the chef if they could add jerk seasoning to our plates and needless to say it was a hit!!! What I love is that Penn Oaks went out their way to make sure the food was how we wanted it to be! During cocktail hour the food would not stop coming!!! The bartenders were super nice and to top off the amazing night my husband surprised me with fireworks! Our guests kept telling us how and I quote, "It was best wedding they've been to!!!". The stress leading up to it was worth it due to the end result! I'm so happy we picked this venue and honestly wish we could re-live it again <3 Please make an appointment to visit Penn Oaks!! The grounds are beautiful (perfect for photos!!!!) and the reception hall is gorgeous! Definitely a day you will never forget!!!!

m the moment we first looked at the venue in November 2015, we fell in love and knew it was where we had to have our wedding. Jeanette C was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing. She was very kind, helpful, responsive, and professional. We had a 5-month engagement, and Jeanette helped make sure everything got done. The night of the wedding Lisa was there to help, and she was also very friendly and helpful. The food at our tasting was so good, it was hard to pick just 2 entrees, but we ended up choosing the Chicken Meditteranean and the Stuffed Flounder, both of which were delicious! Our cocktail hour, though my husband and I only attended for a short time, was great, and everyone raved about all of the food! Thank you Penn Oaks for helping us create the wedding of our dreams! If you are looking for a great venue in West Chester, I highly suggest Penn Oaks Golf Club!

The food was delicious and the presentation was gorgeous. Dawn made sure her staff took great care of us - they ran back and forth getting us water! Haha, we were constantly parched due to all the excitement and everyone was gracious and lovely. There was even a wedding before ours, which I had worried about, but all my worries were in vain - it was as if we were their only wedding that day! I cannot articulate how perfect everything was - Dawn and each member of her staff made it the best day of our lives, and I couldn't help but remark to my new husband, at least six times, "Everything is perfect!" They even offer fireworks as a part of the package, and my father-in-law decided to splurge on it for us. It was amazing and they did a truly incredible job! Thank you so much to everyone at Penn Oaks who made our wedding day amazing!

tent area. We were able to use both the ballroom and the tent room throughout the night. The tent provided the perfect space for dancing and other activities, including the photo booth. All of our guests were in the tent at the end of the night and there were many chairs and seating available to watch the dancing. We worked with Carina and she did a wonderful job making sure that we were on the same page during the whole process. The staff on the day of our wedding did a beautiful job setting up our reception area beautifully. The decorations we brought were all displayed nicely. The tables looked beautiful, the food was delicious, and our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful it was! I would highly recommend Penn Oaks for anyone looking for a classy, tasteful wedding venue. The greens also provides beautiful space for pictures. We were able to even use a golf cart and drive to other parts of the green for different backdrops. Thank you Penn Oaks for making my day so special!

t the whole process were quickly answered by Carina. We had several allergies in our families, and Carina was so great about making sure they were accommodated on our wedding day. When it came time to drop off our final check and decorations, our schedules didn't match with Carina's. She graciously swapped her work schedule that day with another coordinator so we could drop the check off later. She even made herself available so I could stop by and test out centerpieces one weekend when she was busy with another event going on at the club. On the actual wedding day, everything went so smoothly. Carina and the staff set up all the centerpieces and decorations just as I had wanted them. The food was so delicious and abundant. I had several friends and family members say it was some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Additionally, the service provided by the staff and banquet manager was excellent. After the wedding was over, they packaged all our decorations and even let us come pick them up the next morning so we didn't have to take them back to the hotel that night. I could go on and on about how great Penn Oaks is. We got so much value for what we paid. (Oh, and if you have your wedding in the winter (like we did), they have an insurance policy that makes your wedding FREE if it snows 6 inches or more on the day of your wedding. That was honestly the selling point for us since all the other venues we toured said we were SOL if it snowed on the wedding day.) My husband and I cannot speak any more highly of Penn Oaks and Carina! We will be recommending it to anyone planning any kind of event!
