William Penn Inn

painless as possible. We could not have envisioned a more perfect day. They exceeded our expectations. It's a one-stop shop. Your venue, bakery, and flowers all from one place. They work together flawlessly and produce nothing less than the best. I would recommend WPI a million times over.

, but I still knew this was the place. A few days later my fiance and mother loved William Penn Inn as much as I did. Everything was so reasonable, they definitely worked with our budget which was another selling point for us ontop of the venues beauty. Now the staff!!! Darlene joined the team mid planning for my wedding and she is absolutely amazing. She always had a prompt response from my emails and handled my overly organized planning with a smile, no matter how neurotic I got. Rehearsal night Sue was awesome, guided everyone and gave the directions. Day of the wedding while everyone was taking their seats in the garden Sue showed me our reception room and everything was perfect! The wait staff was so friendly, the day of the wedding they all made sure that my groom and myself were fed and had drinks in our hands. The food was amazing. My husband and I are looking forward to celebrating our anniversary every year. We cannot say enough great things about William Penn Inn. Seriously as you start your planning process go check it out, you wont regret it, I promise you!!!

cess and day of. Cathy, Caryn (the day-of-coordinator), and Kate from the floral shop made sure that our vision was brought to light and that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Every last detail was more than we could have ever imagined, and people are still raving about the food! Thank you, William Penn Inn for an experience we will never forget!

udos to Cathy, Darlene and Caryn, as well as Kate in the WPI Flower Shop), even when our guest numbers changed at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. I will never forget how perfect everything was. They made everything so easy for us, including letting us drop off our extras (ceremony sign, signature drink sign, sweetheart table decorations, etc.) early and then setting everything up for else. Plus, having the flower shop, bakery and restaurant in house was so convenient. I had the most beautiful flowers and cake, not to mention how delicious our cake and dinner was! I am getting hungry again just thinking about my crab cakes, wedding cake, and those caprese skewers at the cocktail hour. Plus, my guests LOVED the mac & cheese bar and crepe stand that we decided to get as add-ons. We could not have asked for a better night nor better weather. Of course, the William Penn Inn doesn't control the weather but they might as well have given how well everything all fit together. Thank you!!

y perfect, down to the smallest detail! We first met with Caryn when we got engaged and she did a wonderful job explaining the package and walking us through everything that was included. Our food tasting was probably our favorite part of the wedding planning process! The food was absolutely amazing. Cathy and Darlene were great in answering all of our questions during the entire wedding process. Kate did an absolutely amazing job with all of the flowers! All of the bridal bouquets and boutineers arrived at the house even earlier than we requested which immediately put us at ease. The bouquets and all of the centerpieces were absolutely breathtaking and were exactly what we envisioned! The bouquets looked stunning against the royal blue bridesmaid dresses and my wedding gown! We always pictured an outdoor wedding in the Penn’s Gardens and were temporarily disappointed when we chose to move it into the ballroom due to rainy weather; however, we had the opportunity to see the ballroom set up with all of the draping and flowers before the ceremony and it was absolutely perfect! The flowers and chandeliers made the room look so elegant. The bakery department did a phenomenal job on our wedding cake! It looked so beautiful and tasted amazing!!! The staff at William Penn is awesome! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating during the entire process. Our event manager, Robin, did a wonderful job at both the rehearsal dinner and wedding. She checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed and was just so pleasant to be around! Her staff was also wonderful. I know there was another event in the ballroom in the afternoon and it was a tight turnaround, especially since we moved the ceremony inside but they did such a great job and were so friendly and responsive to our guests. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and we’re so happy that we chose the William Penn Inn for our venue!

here were a few hiccups that we're pretty confident would not have happened had she been there (to include our cake being a bright teal-ish color rather than the steel blue it was meant to be). All in all, we had a beautiful day and the venue and food were fantastic!

s for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding this past weekend! The arrangements were gorgeous! I can’t even tell you how many people asked me who the florist was. We really appreciate the detail they put into it and the customer service approach to their work. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an event florist!

and Cathy really helped to make the process seamless. Kate did our flowers and they also provided the cake as well. I didn't feel stressed at all when it came to planning with the William Penn Inn. On the day of they set everything up beautifully and it was the most perfect day. And of course the food is delicious!!

iendly, professional, and happy to answer any and all questions we had. On the day of the wedding, she checked in several times to make sure we were happy with everything. A huge plus of the William Penn Inn for us was that they have on-site floral and bake shops, so we didn't have to hire a separate florist and bakery. It really took the stress out of planning the wedding. Oh, and the food is really fantastic - we had many guests compliment us on that as well!

e we were having our photos taken because I was having trouble with the heat-just above and beyond. The food was amazing, the cake was beautiful, the room was just perfect. I’m almost running out of adjectives to describe how happy this place made me! All in all, this was the biggest party we’ll every throw and with the WPI’s help I would say it was damn near perfect. Thank you WPI for everything!!

s amazing and everything was so well organized and beautiful!

y weddings there, they have it down to a science. While we were in the planning process, our wedding coordinator needed to switch us to another coordinator and it was very easy and no detail was lost in the transition. The day of the wedding, they were great at organizing everything, but also staying "behind the scenes". The wait staff/bartenders/coordinators were all great. Also, the food is fantastic. The guests were raving about the beautiful venue and how the food was delicious! They truly know how to throw a fun party, and I'd recommend them to any of my friends or family! The William Penn Inn Floral Shoppe is also a great addition to the services they offer at William Penn Inn. It's an in-house florist who is fantastic! Kate really listens to what you want and after showing her a few photos from Pinterest, she made up a mock bouquet and centerpiece to show what she had envisioned for the day. I gave a little feedback for a few different flowers and on the wedding day, the flowers were perfect. She was a true professional and knows how to work with people who have an idea and turn it into a reality. She was always super responsive and updated the contract whenever I made changes so I could see how adding 4 flower girls' baskets changed the total amount due :) So grateful for Kate and everything she did. I highly recommend using William Penn Inn Floral Shoppe if you are getting married at WPI or even another venue. She's fantastic!

the information and details on what our big day would be like. We worked with Caryn and she seriously was the best! She always checked in on us and made sure she answered all of our questions. I can’t stress enough how easy it was working with her and the entire staff, they truly have everything planned down to the very end and even our guests raved about how on top of everything they were during the wedding! All of the staff really did amazing the day of, we had several compliments about the bartenders and wait staff and we definitely noticed how hard they were working to make sure everything was going smoothly. We never had to worry about anything and that was such a relief. It was really nice to drop off all of my stuff a couple days before so I didn’t have to worry about it. Everything was set up perfectly the day of and it was so nice that they broke everything down when it was done. We worked with Kate for our flowers and she was amazing! I had an idea of what I wanted but she really made it come alive! She was such a pleasure to work with, very helpful and worked with me on questions I had. She was very accommodating with some additions I added too and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous!! Im usually not a flower person but I was obsessed with my bouquet!! It was truly a pleasure working with Caryn, Kate and the whole staff at the William Penn Inn. My wedding day was was absolutely perfect and I am so happy we decided on the William Penn Inn, I honestly couldn’t imagine anywhere else! I would recommend this venue over and over again!

ughout the whole process and we got to work with her from when we booked up to the wedding day! I had a million questions and requests and Caryn was always super helpful and responsive with everything. When it came to the actual day, she ran everything so smoothly I was shocked at how little I had to worry about. Kate and the floral team did an amazing job with all of our flowers and she was so kind during the whole process as well. The cake was exactly what I had envisioned and was also the most delicious wedding cake I’ve ever had. If you’re debating on whether or not to book them, you should definitely go for it and you will not be disappointed. Their prices are also very fair in comparison to other venues. All in all, the William Penn Inn made our wedding so amazing and unforgettable!!

ntastic. So they were on our short-list to visit ASAP. We met with Caryn, who went over the packages and we quickly learned how much of a one-stop-shop they are: in-house catering, baking, and florist! They offer indoor and outdoor ceremonies and have large and small rooms to accommodate any size event. My husband's family is huge, so we knew we'd need the entire ballroom and so we booked both the Surrey and the Carriage Ballrooms. I'm also extremely anxious, and did not want to worry about the weather for an entire year, so we decided up front to do the ceremony indoors. The indoor ceremony in the Carriage Ballroom can take place in front of the stage or the fireplace; we opted for the fireplace, because it's been recently renovated and is absolutely gorgeous. They have the planning down to a science and will contact you when the time comes for specific decisions to keep you on track. While our main contact was Caryn, we also worked with Shelley and Monica for various planning things, and Robin was our day-of coordinator. Everyone we dealt with was very nice and knowledgeable about our event so they could help us at the drop of a hat. On the day of, Robin had everything running like clockwork, which made it so much easier for us to relax and actually enjoy the day. Kate is the florist on site, and she was wonderful to work with. I brought a handful of pictures and a vague description of what I wanted, and she turned that small bit of information into perfect floral arrangements. All I said was that I liked shorter and wider centerpieces (as a short person, I value being able to see people across the table!) and organic shapes. When we came to the trial appointment, I had no changes, she'd nailed the vision I had in mind! And when the day of the wedding got closer, she even checked in because the flowers she intended to use to achieve our color scheme seemed to be showing a little off and she wanted to make sure we'd be happy with the color. And of course the food. Oh my goodness the food is incredible. We went with the lobster & crab imperial salmon, the chicken francaise, and the braised boneless beef short ribs. Everyone we spoke to commented on how the food at our wedding was the best they'd ever had. I really can't recommend the William Penn Inn enough, it was the perfect venue for our absolutely perfect wedding.

ionally and pleasantly with Kate. Tables, decorations etc were arranged exactly as intended in our meetings and communications with Monica. Day of coordinator Karen was professional and attentive. The garden and reception rooms were beautiful and the food delicious and hot. I am so happy my daughter and her husband chose WIlliam Penn Inn!

t had difficulty delivering the flowers since he was given a small window of time to deliver. This seemed odd since WPI has its own florist with their own refrigerators. The table flowers needed to be reworked 30 minutes before the ceremony since they were the wrong color and the wrong vase. The bartender was not very engaging and had a frosty personality. WPI has a rule that guests can only be served one drink at a time, so a person could not get drinks for a spouse or the groom or for a table. This is the first time we ever encountered such a rule. When a guest asked for a new napkin, a server provided a soiled one from another table. The coordinator and servers seemed hurried and inattentive. The dinner was served OK but after there were unbused tables and trays after the meal. There was a larger wedding next store. It is unknown whether the servers were supporting the other wedding also. The coordinator, at one point, complained to the bride that people were changing their orders. She did this numerous times. This information should have been provided to parents or some other contact. There were many other issues that could not be detailed here. We cannot recommend WPI after our event. These issues were brought to the attention of the WPI management. As far as we know nothing was done. There was no attempt to reconcile the complaints.

ay. For the moments where I really found myself nervous or not having answers, the team at William Penn Inn helped us make decisions that were beautifully aligned with our needs and vision. Kate, the florist, took my ideas and actualized them into classy and exquisite arrangements. Monica, the event specialist, helped us put all the right details in place to ensure everything came together beautifully, and Robin, our day-of coordinator, ensured seamless execution. Everything was perfect!! All of our guests raved about the food, the flowers, and the beautiful historic setting. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding, or any big event you may have coming up. Word of advice, this place is very much in demand, so book quickly!!

ble to answer any questions. They are very organized and definitely experienced. The food is also great! Also a big shout out to Kate the florist - she was absolutely WONDERFUL! My complaints are minor - our contract stated we needed corona light for the groom's mother and during the reception there was no corona light. The end of the night felt rushed - it felt like we had 15 minutes to get all of our decor out of the room. A child's entree was never brought out. And we forgot a pen for the guest book and they wouldn't even supply us with one, my photographer's wife had to lend me a pen. Otherwise, a great venue and experience!

e whole thing from start to finish. Monica was our coordinator and helped me through every single step and question I had. She was always so friendly, supportive, and helpful. She is a big part of what made my experience wedding planning so much fun (instead of stressful)! Robin helped us on the big day and made sure everything was carried out the way we had planned. Also, Kate at the flower shoppe was phenomenal too. I was so happy with my bouquet that she created, as well as our table centerpieces. She went above and beyond for us all along the way. If you’re looking for a florist with a great personality and the perfect eye for detailed touches, she’s the one. Would definitely recommend overall!

commend this for any type of wedding you are looking for.

a woman named Shelley completely stole the show (she has since retired). She really knew how to sell the WPI to us. Their wedding package includes SO much: dinner, top-shelf open bar, centerpieces, the cake and we were comped the ceremony charge since we got married indoors. Ceremony: beautifully intimate. The lighting is perfect and we got married in front of the fire place in the Carriage Room. Super romantic. Cocktail hour: An impressive menu to choose from. My husband and I had a difficult time choosing what to serve because there were so many good options (also a perk: they had a plate of the cocktail hour food waiting at our table for us in the reception hall since they expect the bride and groom to be so busy during cocktail hour!) Reception: Dinner was unbelievable. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was! The top shelf open bar also has guests super pumped. They also include a champagne toast for everyone, which I loved. Wine service is also offered table-to-table during dinner. The dance floor was awesome and so much fun during our reception. Flowers: Kate is AMAZING. I was living out of town for most of my wedding planning. She was so responsive via email and came up with some really creative ideas for flowers. Our wedding photos look that much better with her stunning arrangements. You are not required to purchase wedding day flowers from WPI's flower shoppe but I highly recommend that you do. Kate's prices were far better than outside shops (yes, I checked. You gotta shop around!) and Kate's personality and professionalism cannot be beat. Cake: Baked on premises at the WPI. So delicious (and I don't even usually like cake). It was stunning and simply decorated but was so beautiful that I will always remember it. They inform you that you can be as simple or as decadent as you would like when designing your wedding cake. Before the big day: The tasting was SUPERB. It is a complimentary tasting for 6 (both sets of parents could come and they loved it!) Shelley is no longer with WPI, but an excellent and super friendly woman named Monica is there! She is incredibly responsive to emails/phone calls. I was not a super crazy bride but definitely very particular and Monica was always super sweet to me. On the big day: Our day-of coordinator was Robin. She was AWESOME. She just literally thought of everything. We met her at the rehearsal and then she spent the evening with us during our wedding. She made sure that everyone was where they were supposed to be and that everything went off without a hitch. She was essential to the success of the day. After the big day: We were given a free room to stay at the inn the night of our wedding. It was SO nice to just walk upstairs after. We were SO tired and that just made it so much easier. They also offer free brunch to the newlyweds if you spend the night at the inn. These people have really thought of everything! I cannot say enough good things about the William Penn Inn. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. They allowed us to have the wedding day of our dreams!

kery)! That was especially important to me because I was planning from out of state. Caryn Allen was my go-to for every single need or question. She responded quickly and made everything so simple and clear. The entire staff at the William Penn Inn is professional, kind, and dedicated to making their events perfect! Compliments come flooding in from guests about the food, the cake, flowers, and the overall beauty of the place. If I could go back I would do everything exactly the same. Thank you to William Penn Inn and everyone there who made our day the most special day of our lives!

tomer service are clearly important to them as these attributes shined through with every interaction. We worked primarily with Caryn who could not have been nicer or more helpful. The food was out of this world and the decorations for Christmas were unparalleled. We are so so happy we booked William Penn Inn!

h large events, as they were able to answer all of our questions and requests (almost always with “Sure, no problem!”) And that they thought and planned for things that weren’t even on our radar. We live about 2 hours away so when looking for a venue we were hoping for a “one stop shop” and the William Penn Inn exceeded our expectations. Monica (the banquet manager) and Kate (the florist) made it so easy to set up and coordinate appointments and they were always responsive to our emails. Both ladies really listened to what we were looking for on our wedding day and worked towards making sure it was exactly what we wanted. Kate was an amazing florist to work with. As someone that can’t tell a flower from a weed she walked us through the process and created gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces for our wedding day. Monica guided us through the entire planning process and answered every question promptly and with a smile. The day of our wedding could not have gone any smoother. Our day of coordinator Karen was fabulous and made sure that everything was taken care of. My husband and I literally had no stress and were able to enjoy every second of our reception. I was expecting to have some element of running around/ tracking people down/ coordinating vendors but I didn’t experience any of that. I truly got to be a guest at my wedding and spend as much time as I wanted on the dance floor! Besides the second to none service, the food was amazing! We got so many compliments from our guests on how good everything tasted. Without a doubt we would recommend the William Penn Inn to anyone looking to have a wedding in the Philly suburbs. The staff is incredible and I really can’t emphasize enough how easy it is to plan an event with them. My husband and I had the perfect wedding day thanks to them!

me through every detail! I had LOTS (and I mean lots!) of questions, as well as details I wanted implemented and decorations I was providing. The entire team gave me my dream day, and Robin our day of corrdinator was just as great. She even helped me to bustle my dress when it came undone!

the ceremony. It is a well-kept spacious garden that looks amazing in pictures. Throughout the planning of our wedding we would have to stop by the venue for meetings and what not and every time we would sneak a peek at the garden area it looked amazing (saw it during winter, spring and our wedding was in the fall). There are also a handful of places in the garden for pictures too. It was very pretty! Then the happy hour took place in the main reception area (and guests could hang out in the hall where there are addition seating and such). I was worried about there being lines at the bar since there were only one, but the bartenders are wonderful and the whole night I did not see the line exceed three people. They had staff bring out hot hors d'oeuvres while the cold hors d'oeuvres (cheeses and such) were in a large table in the middle of the dance floor. Right before the reception everything was cleared. They wasted no time serving dinner at the beginning of the reception and everything was so delicious! Our cake and assorted desserts were also amazing. We opted to get the Philadelphia Station at the end of the night. No one left hungry. Also, I just wanted to throw this part in, I gave a box of decorations that I didn’t know what to do with and the staff there (wish I had specific names) went with it and used it as they felt, and it looked WAY better than anything I could have thought of. The event specialist, Monica Ganter, was our main contact and worked with us throughout the entire process. I have no idea what I would have done without her! Monica is so nice and helpful. She would always respond to my emails within a day (and I emailed A LOT) and worked around our schedule for in office meetings. Monica was so awesome to work with and made us feel confident that we were on the right track. The florist, Kate Marshall, was also so great to work with! She is so talented, and our centerpieces, bouquets and other flower décor were fabulous. One of my guests must have (hopefully) accidentally took my bouquet home and I loved it so much that I had to order another, so I could dry it out and save it. We also had a day of coordinator, Collin. He made the day go so smoothly. He would round up the party when we needed to do introductions and find my husband and I when it was time to cut the cake and for the bouquet toss. If we needed anything, he was the go-to man and he would get it done. Him and the staff also brought in our outside decorations and brought it inside. At the end of the night things could not have gone any better and this was just the best venue with the best food run by the best staff.

were spectacular and got us so excited for our wedding day. The picturesque scenery and background of William Penn Inn turned our day and wedding pictures into something that looked straight out of a fairtytale. The grounds were beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and decor. We received so many compliments on the food served at our wedding. We truly had a one-of-a-kind stand out experience with our wedding day! Thanks so much for all your hard work for making our day special! -- Michele & Tim

nd she made every single wish come true that day! Kate was the floral specialist who also created the most beautiful flower arrangements and bouquets to help tie our whole fairy tale together! There was not one negative point from picking the venue to planning to the actual day. I married my soulmate in the greatest place imaginable and thank you could never be enough for the people and staff who made our wedding Amazing!

cial shoutout including Daniel, the server for our head table. The florist, Kate Marshall helped guide us to pick beautiful flowers for the bouquets, boutonnières, and table decor. It is apparent that she is an expert in her field and helped keep us in budget as well. Robin, the coordinator who ran the show at our reception was excellent and anticipated our needs that we did not even know we had. She was genuine, personable and qualified. Lastly, we cannot say enough about Monica Ganter who was there for us from the very beginning and then every step of the way. Meeting her when we toured the beautiful historic venue solidified our decision and we couldn’t be happier. She helped guide us to have a reception that was the best celebration of our new marriage with family and friends. We received endless compliments of the food, decorations and overall charming venue. Also, make sure you go to the Sunday brunch afterwards for more delicious food than you can eat. Christian, our server, made us feel like really special guests. You will truly not regret choosing this venue for your wedding.

oves what she does, and it shows. Her concern for our happiness throughout the entire process, made us feel like family, and not just anther wedding booked at their Inn. Our guests are still giving us compliments on our choice in such a beautiful venue, and the wonderful food. William Penn Inn is your one stop shop for a beautifull, affordable, unforgettable wedding.

the best they ever attended! I highly recommend The William Penn Inn for an event you will never forget.

was beautiful, the food was spectacular, they are a well oiled machine. The garden is PHENOMENAL. I just am floored at how perfect they all are at their jobs. Thank you for making our wedding day more than we even dreamed it could be.

itant the morning of, as the temperature at 6PM was expected to be 55 degrees. Monica guided me through everything, and suggested we keep it outside. BEST DECISION EVER. She was so organized and helped us to make all of the best decisions possible. Kate was an incredible florist. She made so many special accommodations for us! She even made adjustments to my bouquet the day of the wedding, and redelivered it to my parents house! Robin was a huge help during the rehearsal and the entire wedding day. She even helped my 75 year old aunt squeeze into and zip up her gown! If you have come across the William Penn Inn during your venue search, look no further. This is the best place to celebrate your new marriage!

ffered us. They offer a honeymoon overnight suite with the package. Robin was a great day of coordinator! They were flexible with letting you bring in your own decor. The only things I think would be beneficial to know as bride is bridal suite opens two hours prior so hair and makeup would need to be done else where which requires transporting with everything from one hotel to WP. Also, the time schedule was very strict compared to that of my photographers, but luckily my photographer was able to speed through pictures to keep us on WP inn schedule. Lastly, we did not use their florist and because of this when I asked to have florals moved inside after ceremony it would be an extra “fee.” Fortunately, on the day of my coordinator had them moved inside anyway. For the ceremony you must make the decision on an inside or outside the night before wedding. If you change your mind the next day because of rain you pay a 500.00 change of set up fee because set up is so early. Besides these small things I felt overall the wedding and William penn inn was amazing!

and she was able to calm my nerves and answer all my concerns. Kate in the floral department was so very helpful while choosing our gorgeous floral arrangements. Colin assisted me with everything I needed on my wedding day and made sure my bridal party was fully taken care of. Our friends and family continue to rave about our beautiful wedding day. The William Penn Inn does not miss any detail!!!

Penn bride came true. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams and we could not be happier. To this day, we are both still in shock on how fantastic every aspect truly was. We chose the William Penn Inn because of its all-inclusive catering, bakery, flower department, and day of coordinator. From the beginning, it was extremely easy to work with their banquet department (specifically Caryn), as she responded quickly to my numerous phone calls and emails and would meet with us whenever we needed. Her professionalism and attentiveness was apparent throughout the entire process. We found the same treatment when dealing with the flower department (specifically Kate). She had such creative and beautiful ideas all which we saw come to life on June 1st. The William Penn Inn was created into the most elegant venue on the day of our wedding. The flowers were stunning for the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception hall. There ceremony décor was gorgeous! My guests enjoyed a bottle of water too as they entered, which on a hot June day was greatly appreciated. As the ceremony ended and guests headed indoors to the cocktail hour, servers met my guests outside with appetizers to start snacking on as they proceeded indoors for more food and drinks. There was so much food during the cocktail hour (served and buffet, cold and hot). It was awesome! Great way to start the night! As the night went on, I remember walking into my reception hall before all the guests were allowed in and just standing there in awe of how beautiful it truly was. The food was absolutely fantastic, our cake was gorgeous, and the open bar was clearly enjoyed by everyone. Our day of coordinator (Colin) with help from others (namely Caryn and Kate), ran our wedding so smoothly and they kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything. My husband and I, our parents, our bridal party, and our guests took care of nothing. We just enjoyed the night to the fullest. I will forever be grateful to the William Penn Inn and its staff. I know so many people had a hand in making our day so very special and we will never be able to thank you all in person, but please know that every day I think about our wedding and every day it puts a smile on my face. We truly did have the wedding of our dreams. Best day ever. Best venue ever. Thank you William Penn Inn.

le. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out, and I would recommend William Penn Inn to everyone looking for a wedding venue!

unique as we are. allowed us to include our dogs in the ceremony, which was very important to us. We are thrilled to have worked with Monica, Kate, and Colin to create the perfect day for us. The day went so smoothly and the flowers and food were perfect! If you are looking for a top-notch, anti-stress wedding venue, this is the place for you!

reception into an elegant and intimate setting. The floral garlands used on the ceremonial mandap were out of this world. The high and low centerpieces were perfect. I could tell so much personal touch went into their work and Kate just made the whole process so seamless. I highly recommend using them even if your wedding is off premise (which in our case it was!!)

ingle detail we wanted was executed! Kate, the florist, made our flowers and decor absolutely beautiful! Monica always communicated with us immediately and was so helpful! I will miss working with them! Thank you William Penn Inn for absolutely everything!

l raving about the food (we keep hearing it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding), the staff's attention to detail was impressive, and the building is spotless! They take care of everything for you! They even have their own baker (which, makes a very delicious cake).Every single person we came in contact with was friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Our day was absolutely perfect. William Penn Inn is an incredible value for an exceptional experience.

disaster. I should have never even bothered to refresh the weather because my outdoor ceremony was quickly turns into an indoor ceremony that was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, Shelley even went as far as to give us the second ball room for cocktail hour because no one had booked it for that evening! It was an absolute dream. The cake was beautiful, the floral arrangements amazing, and the food delicious. I could not thank them enough! Do not hesitate to book with the William penn inn!

ect, not to mention the food was delicious and fairly priced. The only thing I would change is I wish I had one coordinator from start to finish, I worked with about 3 different coordinators and I felt like I was getting lost in the shuffle. All in all it was an amazing venue experience and I highly recommend them.

s incredibly patient in helping us organize and plan our day. She promised that we would feel like guests at our own wedding, and we really, truly did. On our wedding day, Colin ensured that the event flowed perfectly and that we were well cared for. The value we received from The William Penn Inn was beyond worth the price tag. We received compliments about the food, cake, and desserts, and the design of our cake was perfectly executed. It was among my favorite details of the night. Kate’s floral arrangements were perfect, too. The atmosphere of the venue, both inside and out, made for some stunning photography (especially with the Christmas decorations still up!). I’d highly recommend The William Penn Inn to any couple who wants a fantastic wedding without the worry.

services provided by waitstaff, in-house floral department, and the bakery were amazing. In particular, Monica Ganter in the banquet department was polite, responsive, and organized. She made our planning process a breeze through her prompt replies to e-mail inquiries, and she was so courteous to each and every question we submitted her way. Kate Marshall in the floral department was also a pleasure to work with. She created some beautiful floral designs in line with my vision and navy/marsala/gold color scheme. The bakery did a wonderful job creating a customized navy blue fondant cake based off a picture found on Pinterest. Last but not least, our day-of-coordinator Colin performed his job spectacularly. He made sure all the vendors were setup when and where they needed to be, and was always by our side throughout the reception when we needed him. He gently guided us through the classic hallmark events (cake cutting, first dances, toasts, etc.), but he was always gracious and accommodating, never pushy. I highly recommend this venue to every other couple! I am the stereotypical Type A personality type and did my part through meticulous planning and scheduling regular follow-ups with every vendor. When it came to my actual wedding day, the staff ensured that each and every carefully plan detailed was executed and that I was most importantly able to relax and enjoy my wedding day. Thank you, William Penn Inn. Mary & Michael October 2017

I could write a novel about how Monica (wedding coordinator) and Kate (flowers coordinator) went far above and beyond what I would have expected of them. I'm an out-of-town bride, and loved the idea of the catering, flowers, linens, reception venue, etc. all being housed under one roof - the different vendors were comfortable and used to working with one another, which made everything even easier to handle from a few hours away. Both Monica and Kate were prompt to respond to questions (even when Monica was away on maternity leave!) and were happy to offer their insight and opinions when asked for advice. I truly enjoyed working with them. Aside from the outstanding coordinators, the Inn itself is simply stunning. I got married on a snowy Saturday in December and the entire venue was lit up in white lights. It looked gorgeous. Inside, the Inn's holiday decorations were silver, gold, white and green garland - simply chic and didn't make me feel like I was having a Christmas wedding (I love Christmas but wasn't looking to have Santa or giant nutcrackers in my wedding decor). We also had a handful of items we wanted displayed during the cocktail reception (LP records we asked guests to sign for a guest book, pictures of parent/grandparent weddings, etc.) - Monica worked with her team to arrange everything and it looked wonderful! And aside from all THAT, the food was fabulous. Guests didn't stop commenting on how delicious everything was all night (prime rib in particular was top notch!) Absolutely 100% would recommend.

ons and made expert suggestions throughout the entire wedding planning process! I also can’t say enough about Kate, the WPI’s florist. I have never been a major fan of flowers- they’re beautiful, but never anything to write home about. Well, the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages Kate created for my wedding WERE something to write home about! Everyone could not get over how beautiful the flowers and arrangements were. Multiple people said that they were the most beautiful flowers they’d ever seen! I am so happy I decided to have my wedding reception at the William Penn Inn- the night turned out to be as wonderful as we had envisioned!

the staff at the William Penn Inn does EVERYTHING that they can do to make your wedding perfect. They are friendly, responsive, and understanding with every aspect of the wedding planning process. The week before the wedding you just drop off anything that you want displayed and tell them how you want it, and you do not have to worry because the day of the wedding it will be set up beautifully. Third, it is so convenient. They have a flower shop, a bakery, and wedding planners available on site. They also take care of set-up, linens, centerpieces, decorations, and anything else that you want. Fourth, the garden is amazing -- you would never think that right next to a busy road like 202 there would be such a secret, beautiful, quiet, peaceful garden for a ceremony. Our pictures taken in the garden were wonderful. Again, it is so convenient - you can have the ceremony in the garden and then walk right into the ballroom for the cocktail hour. Lastly, I still cannot believe how smooth the day went. Because of the wonderful staff, I did not worry about anything and I was able to enjoy my wedding. The only thing that they do not have is a groom's suite. They have a beautiful large bridal suite that is included, but there is no where for the groom to get ready on the property that is included. However, overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!!

scuss our vision and showed us samples of bouquets and centerpieces. She even suggested a better floor plan than originally made up by the Banquet salesperson. All the flowers the day of the wedding were so beautiful, from my bouquet, to the boutonnieres, the centerpieces, and flowers on the cake. *Bakery On Site – We choose the flavor of the cake after our tasting, and worked with the floral department on the design. Cake was beautiful and delicious! *Food/Open Bar - All the food and drink was amazing! They were accommodating with guests being vegan and/or Gluten Free. *Ceremony (Indoor & Outdoor) On Site – We had our ceremony in Penn’s Garden. It was beautiful and we lucked out with great weather. Tip: if you have pictures taken in the garden, bring heel protectors; go barefoot, or wear flip-flops to prevent you from sinking into the ground. *Over-night Hotel Room – They were nice enough to comp us an overnight room, which made it super convenient to crash right after the wedding. *Bridal Suite – Use of this room was a great decision! It’s spacious and can accommodate a large group and vendors for hair and make-up. Cons: *Not Intimate - There will be other events going on at the venue. I don’t think this necessarily effected The William Penn’s performance, however, you may have strangers intermingling with your party. We were trying to take photos in the entrance and the guests that were having a party next door were so rude and couldn’t even wait until the picture was taken to walk through. Also, some other officiant just walked into the Bridal Suite as we were getting ready thinking I was the bride she was marrying that day. There was also a party going on while we were getting ready in the Bridal Suite and even though it wasn’t that much a nuisance, there was still a lot of noise being made. Kind of took away from the “tranquil” moments before the craziness of the wedding begins! My case in point is, this venue is not intimate and you will be sharing it with many other people and events. *Service Lacked in certain areas Some guests made comments that the Bar Tender was a little rude. No bottled water was provided in the Bridal Suite as promised. (And you can’t bring in any outside food) Banquet Salesperson verbally promised on several occasions that they would throw in a complementary Mac & Cheese station. Now it wasn’t on the contract and that was my bad for not noticing, but she did tell my mom and I about it and there was no Mac & Cheese station during cocktail hour. Also, the salesperson I was working with had an emergency right before the wedding (Yes I totally get emergencies happen) and I had to be switched to another sales person. I kind of feel our wedding got “lost in the sauce” per say. I had to wait days for questions to be answered through e-mail and didn’t know that the salesperson wasn’t working on our wedding anymore until I called WP and asked what was going on. I didn’t feel the Banquet Salespeople really gave us the attention and assistance with the wedding planning I would hope for from The William Penn Inn. In summary, The William Penn Inn is a great wedding venue and I was overall very pleased and know my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

ith and just a phenomenal chef. We didn't have any left over pastries from the wedding and people are still talking about them.

l above the rest in many ways. I highly recommend this venue!

elped keep us organized, was accommodating to all of my questions (and I had a lot), and made us feel so special at every meeting that we had. A big plus - we were allowed to have 6 guests at our tasting which allowed it to be a great pre-wedding event for us and both sets of parents. From the moment we got to the WPI, everything went smoothly. There was a beautiful & spacious bridal sweet for us to put down all of our belongs and freshen up before the pictures. We then used Penn's Garden to take all of pictures. The flowers were beautiful and there was plenty of space and variety in flowers, etc to take alot of different pictures. While we were in Penn's Garden during the cocktail hour, they had servers coming down to serve apps & drinks to us and the entire bridal party. I can't say enough amazing things about the William Penn Inn. It was the best decision to have our wedding there. If you both work and don't have the time to be dealing with a lot of different vendors and wedding planning craziness, WPI is the best option. In addition to great cocktail hour/reception services, they have an amazing onsite floral boutique that did all of our flowers & made 2 delivery spots, as well as, a wonderful onsite bakery which made our cake as well! It is a one stop wedding stop and they do everything with such care and attention to detail. For the past few weeks I have had guests from the wedding come up and tell us how they had the best time at our wedding. Comments like: Tons of space to dance the night away, delicious apps during the cocktail hour, and best dinner at a wedding they ever had!

We don't have any shortage of great things to say about Shelley who helped with the planning process, our day-of coordinator, Colin, and the rest of staff! We also opted to use the in-house florist, Kate, who was a pleasure to work with & made everything look beautiful. I highly recommend the Inn for your wedding if you want a classic, beautiful venue with charm & wonderful service!

ding was made exponentially easier thanks to the Banquet Sales Manager, Monica Ganter. Throughout the process, from picking the venue to the day of the wedding, she was always available to answer any and all questions I was able to come up with and even make suggestions for things I hadn't thought of. Monica and Kate (the onsite florist) had a lot of suggestions and options to choose from along with pictures of what they had done in the past. They made planning flowers, seating charts, and ceremony decorations fun and easy. The day of the wedding the staff perfectly set up all of our extra signs, favors, boxes, etc. They even had free sun umbrellas to put up during the ceremony which was great for our older guests. The only real hiccup and the reason this review is four stars instead of five was the coordination the day of. Small but important things like not having flower petals for the flower girls, trying to charge the bridal suite for food and drinks we already worked into the contract and paid for, and having the boutonnieres and father/mother flowers delivered to the bridal suite rather than passing them out to the appropriate people. Luckily we were able to resolve all these small issues, but for a place well known for their excellent service and considering how easy the planning had been I had expected a little more organization. That being said, if you are looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding food, staff, and location you really can't do much better than the William Penn Inn.

exceeds the cost. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to any soon-t0-be bride or groom!

e of before I could even think of it. Highly highly recommend!!!

out the planning process and Robin was our day of person. They were both phenomenal. The day went smoothly, there were no issues and it was fun. Everybody thought the food was amazing. I'm still obsessing over the tangerine glazed salmon.

oordinators, the room was above and beyond what I could of ever dreamed of, thank you so much for making our special day a dream come true !!!

d for anything better!!! We loved the William Penn inn!!!

our wedding to the end of the wedding. I would highly recommend here!

tor), were just amazing. I had a lot of questions along the way which I sent to the staff and they always got back to me quickly and thoughtfully. They made the wedding planning process stress free. The wedding package is absolutely worth it! The cake that is included was delicious, and all of our decorations(flowers) and ambiance were gorgeous! Like I mentioned the food was wonderful, all of our guests raved about it. We also had our rehearsal dinner there and that was wonderful too! Lastly, the wait staff and the hospitality of the William Penn Inn can not be praised enough. They are welcoming and helpful. There was a server that took care of just our parents' table’s at the wedding. They were also constantly checking on us, making sure we were enjoying ourselves and asking if we needed anything. We had an amazing time and will be returning customers of the William Penn Inn. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

ith Kate, the florist, sorting out details with Monica, and working with Kelly the day of our wedding, everything went very smoothly and according to plan. Everyone I worked with was a true professional, very knowledgeable, and most importantly- FUN! A William Penn Inn wedding is great for many, many, reasons but especially because they can do anything right there. The bakery makes the cake [which people LOVED], and flower shoppe can do the flowers, they have the linens, chairs, etc. I can’t recommend Kate, the flower shoppe manager enough. We had such a blast in our planning meetings and she really knows her stuff! As a girl who knows next to nothing about flowers, Kate’s expertise was much appreciated. I had my wedding in December and oh my gosh- the inn at Christmastime. There’s truly no place better or more beautiful. I always said I wouldn’t be one of those brides with a million wedding pictures throughout my house but with such gorgeous pictures from outside, how can I not?! :)

ring our post-ceremony portrait session, and email communication wasn't always a breeze, but it turned out perfectly just the same. We also used their flower shop and Kate Marshall was fantastic! She was going through the process as a bride-to-be as well so she totally got what I was going through. She was flexible and able to help me refine & explain my vision. My sample bouquet was a dream and the finished products looked great! She even gave my mother her own little succulent, since she didn't want a whole corsage. Thanks!!

te helped me throughout the process with planning and flowers. The only thing I wish was different is that I met the day of coordinator prior to the morning of the wedding. I would recommend WPI to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion.

e still talking about it to this day!

a lovely venue, friendly staff, and dangerously delicious food this truly was the most memorable day of my life!
