Penn Oaks models itself on being "simply perfect" - and Dawn, Steve, Lisa and their team truly delivered on a simply perfect wedding.
We weren't really looking for a country club reception initially, but Penn Oaks had great reviews and we're l...ocal to the area, so we stopped by. Instantly, we were sold by the gorgeous venue, but really, it was Dawn (the event manager) who sold us. 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. Thanks so much to Dawn, Steve, Lisa, and the rest of the team, for truly making our wedding day simply perfect.
