I didn't have my ceremony here, just the reception and it was fantastic!!!!!!! We used the Belle Voir side and it was absolutely gorgeous... Everything was so beautiful, the day ran smoothly because their staff is amazing and professional, and the food is out of this world!! Future brides: I highly recommend the mashed potato bar during cocktail hour, my guests are still raving about it... My belly is too :)

Pen Ryn Catering did a fabulous job with our cocktail hour and reception! The grounds were beautiful, the food was amazing, the hall was fully decorated beyond anything we imagined and Patty, our consultant was great to work with!

The only complaint we have was prior to the event, we gave Patty an upfront payment for the bartenders and valet parking attendants gratuity so that our guests could simply enjoy the night and not have to feel obligated to pay or tip. Unfortunately, some of the attendants did accept our guests tips on top of our original payment.

Overall Belle Voir Manor provided our dream wedding and our guests cannot stop talking about how wonderful everything was!

The customer service at Pen Ryn Mansion was amazing. Patty was my consultant and she answered all of my questions via phone and email within 2 business days. The venue is beautiful and the food was incredible! We were married in December and the venue is already decorated for the holidays and it looks beautiful! We highly recommend Pen Ryn Mansion in Bensalem, PA!!!

Our wedding at the Pen Ryn mansion couldn't have been more beautiful. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff was incredibly helpful the whole way. Patty was very responsive to all of my requests. She worked with me and offered some great suggestions. Vanessa, our head waitress was extremely attentive and always there when we needed her. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way that the wedding turned out and the staff was top notch through the whole process!

Our daughter was married recently at Pen Ryn and wow, what a day! I cannot possibly say enough good things about Pen Ryn.. the setting, the beautiful mansion, the service, the food, etc, etc, I could go on and on. They made the entire event seamless. We worked with Patty and Katrina, and both of them were amazing. Pen Ryn tended to every detail, we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was PERFECT! Our guests are still talking about it! An added plus was the gorgeous weather.. the ceremony was outside. It felt like a dream! Thank you Pen Ryn! I am still on cloud 9.

We got married at the Belle Voir and everything was WONDERFUL! The grounds are beautiful and the ball room was perfect for us! Patty Bitting transformed the room into a romantic, yet fun setting for us which completely exceeded our expectations! The staff really did make the room incredible! In all honesty, their website does not do the room justice. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was at both cocktail hour and reception and that makes us very happy! Our guests raved about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff also. Our experience was great the moment we signed our contract until the end. I would recommend to anyone!

Our guests still can not stop raving about our wedding! The food was amazing, the cocktail hour stations were a hit, and the ballroom at the Belle Voir Manor overlooking the Delaware River was a beautiful setting. Our coordinator was Patty Bitting and she was very professional and accommodating to our needs. We were actually very surprised at how affordable it was to have our wedding here!

I hosted a wedding at Belle Voir for my daughter on Sunday August 28th - the day after Hurricane Irene. Despite the fact that many of the staff couldn't get home the evening before and (from what I heard) one of the executive chefs lost his car in 10 feet of water under a nearby railroad bridge. EVERYONE WAS THERE TO PRODUCE A FABULOUS WEDDING FOR US. Not one complaint, not one excuse. The people here are the most kind, professional and easiest to get along with people imaginable. Patty worked with us throughout the entire process and seemed to only know the word "yes". The food was excellent - getting rave reviews from everyone. The staff was attentive and accommodating in every way and turned what could have been a disaster into a thing of beauty. Due to the weather there were so many doubts regarding whether the event would ever take place but the staff made sure it came off without a hitch. The venue is beautiful and well designed to host a wonderful party. The food was delicious and exceeded all of our expectations. I can recommend them without reservation. Thank you for making the day be so perfectly beautiful under such stressful conditions.

Our wedding at Belle Voir was amazing! We were so happy with everything - the gorgeous venue, the delicious food, and the high quality of service. Although we were a little wary to start because they were a little less responsive by email than other vendors when I was initially evaluating venues, we loved the venue after visiting. Later, when the event came close and I was working with Katrina I received quick responses and I was very confident that things would run smoothly on our wedding day. There were many pleasant surprises, like the willingness of John, the chef, to meet with me to design a fun vegetarian entree, to the high level of personal attention given to my (now) husband and me. Anything I would think to ask about on the day of the wedding (like for example if they would please wrap up the top layer of the cake) was already being taken care of.

The Belle Voir Manor was so beautiful and perfect for my wedding day! There was enough room for everyone to be there comfortably. The dance floor was just big enough. The food was delicious and I didn't have to worry about anything! The Champagne for the champagne toast was AWESOME!!!! I have had at least 30 people ask me what type of champagne it was! The ONLY reason they only received at 4 out of 5 for professionalism is because when I paid extra to start the wedding early, the other bride at Pen Ryn came early and her "people" came over and told me I had to leave the premises (the riverfront) and go over to my venue, even though I had paid to be there early for pictures. They should not have directed that towards me at all. Otherwise, fantastic and would recommend to anyone!

We had our wedding at pen ryn mansion in July 2011. The wedding was absolutely beautiful! We had the best time of our life. The food was delicious especially the mashed potato bar. When we booked the venue we went through 3 wedding planners and they were awful. Finally the week before our wedding we got a planner that helped us and made us feel a lot better about having our wedding here. There were only a couple of complaints I have about this place. The air conditioner in the bridal and groom suites was awful. Our wedding was on a 115 degree day. And the suites felt like 90 degrees. The other thing was the Maitre D was a little rude and was blocking the view of the garter toss and the garter put on and I missed the whole entire thing. Finally, we had some cards stolen from our holder during the cock tail hour because they keep in the reception room and some of my guests/ bridesmaids had their cards in there and they were gone. We contacted the venue and said they have cameras and never called us back so we finally called and they said they just installed them and aren't hooked up yet. That means they know it was their staff that took our wedding cards.

One example was the fact that I wanted ivory table cloths for the cocktail hour; she said it would be about $30/table because they had to order them. A week or so later I find out that they have a different type of ivory cloth available for no cost which she did not bother telling me. There were countless events like this so be weary when Patty tells you something costs more, and make sure you write down all your questions so you can ask other people about your options.

Patty was not there on my day though, Cindy was, and although she missed an appointment that we had, she was helpful and I was very happy to have her there on my big day. Mary was also great but was fired while I was still planning.

Overall, great wedding and I would recommend this location to others. If you want your venue to feel homey and cozy, if you want to watch your guests arriving from the bridal suite, if you want a building with history, Pen Ryn is the way to go. All I can suggest is BEWARE of Patty because she is not helpful and just cares about the money.

I had my wedding at Pen Ryn mansion in July 2010 and I would definitely recommend this venue to any couples searching for a venue.

The site is just gorgeous..from the long tree-lined driveway, the river view and the mansion is beautifully maintained. Our wedding was in the off-season and the cost was extremely affordable. We planned to have an outdoor ceremony, but it rained, so the staff quickly setup for the ceremony in the hall. I was very impressed with their efficiency in having everything setup on-time for the ceremony.

The cocktail hour was great. I still have guests saying how great the hors d'oeuvres tasted. The crab cake entree was really good. The chicken entree was just okay.

We had Mary as our co-ordinator. Although it took some time for a response to our emails, she was still great and had everything organized for us as we wanted. She was very helpful and gave great advice throughout the planning steps.

So overall, I would recommmend Pen Ryn. It's a beautiful location and the value for the cost was really great.

We had our reception at Belle Voir, and our experience was fantastic! The venue was gorgeous, and everything went off without a hitch. They clearly know what they're doing, and every little detail was accounted for. We had about 250 people in attendance, and everyone raved about their food. Most weddings that large usually end up with food that is less than delicious. Not here - everyone's food was cooked to perfection! The dance floor at Belle Voir is huge, so there was plenty of room for everyone, without feeling crowded. They were also more than accommodating with last minute changes to seating and helping us with some final decorative details - we asked them to set up luminaries lining their driveway, and they valet staff did it without question! It was a beautiful touch that they happily took care of for us. All in all, a great experience! My only 'complaint' is that when working with Patty, she is easier to reach by phone than email. It's not really a bad thing, just something that for me, who prefers email, had to get used to. All in all, we had our dream wedding, and I'm hoping than I can be a guest at one of their weddings some day soon!

I didn't pay for "extra" stuff and it turned out to be fabulous!! Everyone had a great time and they thought I paid "A LOT" of money for how everything turned out!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Pen Ryn Catering. They were easily one of the most accommodating in terms of vendors. We were married during the February snow storm, and called over to the mansion, half expecting our reception to be called off. Instead, we were told that, despite the 28 inches of snow, the mansion would be ready for our reception. As the roads were treacherous, the staff even went to the trouble of picking up employees from their home so that our reception would be properly staffed for the occasion. Not only was the food exceptional (we were told by many that it was the best of any wedding that they'd ever attended), but we felt that we were taken care of the entire evening. We cannot thank Mary Luongo or Patti enough for their tender care during one of the most adventurous of weddings!
