    A perfect day at Philander Chase Knox Estate

    We had an incredible experience working with Robert Ryan Catering at their Philander Chase Knox Estate venue! They made our rainy wedding day a perfect one. The team was incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning process, and totally on top of everything during the big day. The food was outstanding (we had the best time at our tasting), and the whole staff was fantastic and helpful. We had the best day ever!

    Robert Ryan Catering & Design's reply:

    Hi Tess! Thank you so much! You were such a pleasure to work with! We couldn't be happier to hear you had the best day ever!! We wish the weather cooperated, but glad we could still make it perfect! Wishing you and Ryan all the best!

    Magical Wedding!

    On July 24, 2021 we were finally able to hold the wedding celebration my daughter and son-in-law had dreamed about since April 2019. Philander Chase Knox Estate, Robert Ryan's romantically scenic venue was the setting for a most magical night. Expertly led by our Day-of-Coordinator, Marjorie, and assisted by Day-of-Coordinator Trainee, Jalissa, and a team of servers, the entire celebration ran smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Marjorie's calm and efficient manner allowed us to enjoy the day from beginning to end. Both she and Jalissa were attentive, but unobtrusive. They were patient, fun, and so sweet! The servers, bartenders, and valets were pleasant and attended to anything our guests might need. The food was delicious, plentiful, and beautifully presented by the talented chef and assistants. Compliments from our guests abounded! Special thanks to Leah, our first contact at PCK and our dedicated guide throughout the planning of our wedding and reception, which included two postponements and a small family wedding at the venue in August 2020. She was always kind, professional, responsive and handled our requests with ease. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met her! Many thanks to the entire team for a most memorable wedding celebration. We are truly grateful!

    The Most Perfect Day!

    Robert Ryan at the Philander Chase Knox Estate was the best decision we made!! Leigh and the team are the most responsive, professional, and kindest staff we've ever encountered. They made the entire process so easy on us and were so patient as we asked hundreds of questions through out the entire process. They are the best of the best. The planning process was seamless and the entire wedding was a dream. Luke, our day of coordinator, was amazing!! He and the entire crew were so attentive to every guest and always made sure we had water, drinks, food, etc. We loved every part of our experience and we wouldn't have changed a thing!!!

    Highlights:
    Leigh - she is phenomenal and so helpful/responsive!!
    Luke & day of staff- the SWEETEST group of people (there was a medical emergency of one of our guests and they handled it so calmly and made sure the entire night still went smoothly)
    The food! - we loved it!! Especially the manicotti and all of the hors d'oeuvres
    The venue - so accommodating!! PCK was the most perfect venue even on a rainy evening in a pandemic
    We would choose this venue all over again!

    Amazing Food!

    The venue uses this catering service so we did not get to pick our catering but I am glad it was not left up to us because after our food tasting we couldn’t of been happier or more pleased with the food. It was delicious!! Everything we had was better than expected and they were so good with all the questions and food requests willing to customize anything to what we wanted or did not want even on such a large scale.

    Amazing Day Thanks to Robert Ryan!!

    My husband and I looked at 12 different venues and the Philander Chase Knox Estate was not only gorgeous but the team at Robert Ryan was professional, accommodating and made the planning experience so easy. Leigh was a huge part of the reason we chose to go with Robert Ryan. She is professional but still laid back and so easy to work with to make your dream wedding come true. Beth was an amazing day of coordinator and made sure my husband and I were taken care of at every minute. The staff was polite and fun and so helpful with our older guests and even brought me a whole tray of my own appetizers!! We can't say enough amazing things about them and would highly recommend any of their stunning venues!!

    absolutely wonderful

    We got married at the Barn on Bridge and my gosh was it a fairytale. The vendors were on top of everything during our planning process and very responsive. The day of the wedding, I was waited on hand and foot and everybody made sure we were properly taken care of and happen all day. I can’t brag about them enough or thank them enough for how wonderful they made our day!

    Delicious food, great employees!

    We had our wedding at Philander Chase Knox and mostly worked with Leigh who is just amazing. We partially planned out wedding while living in Pittsburgh, so it was hard to coordinate some things from a distance but Leigh was so accommodating. Leigh is very responsive via email and that's really all you can ask for in a wedding coordinator. Everyone I've interacted with who works for Robert Ryan is great! Our tasting was so much more than we expected, employees were so sweet and the food was outstanding! All of our guests agreed that the food was delicious with decent sized portions.

    When we started planning our wedding and I NEEDED to have 2 things. Amazing food and great music! Our guests still talk about how amazing the food was and how some stood by the door at cocktail hour for the waiters to come back out with more! Amazing food and amazing staff at the Barn on Bridge!!

    Never Had a Worry!

    Robert Ryan was the catering company for The Philander Chase Knox Estate. One of the main reasons we chose this venue besides it being absolutely gorgeous was because of the coordinator. Leigh is absolutely amazing! PCK was our first stop the day we went looking and after that no other venue or coordinator compared. She made sure we felt comfortable from the get go and carried that throughout. The same feeling came through with our day of coordinator Lisa, she was great! Our bridal party was rather large and a lot to handle but it never seemed to phase her. She was calm, cool, and collected the whole time which definitely made me feel better. If there was something that was wrong, I never knew about it. I was able to enjoy our day without having to worry about a thing.
    The food was absolutely AMAZING! I was skeptical about wedding food in general as I feel it never tastes the same as it did the day of the tasting, but this was not the case. It was exquisite! The assortment of food you have to choose from is amazing, it's not your standard stuff and they keep it seasonal which is great.
    Thank you Leigh, Lisa, & Robert Ryan Caterers for making our day go off without a hitch! It was absolutely perfect!

    Wonderful wedding vendor!

    I can't say enough good things about Robert Ryan Catering! KT was amazing in the lead up to our wedding, patiently answering every question I had. She and her team were so attentive and on top of everything on the day—they made sure we had everything we could possibly need and that everything went off without a hitch. And the food was incredible—our guests raved about it!

    We had an amazing time having our ceremony and reception at Barn on Bridge! Our cocktail hour passed hors d'oeuvres were out of this world and every guest commented on how delicious the food was. They even made a pizza for my husband on our wedding day. They were accommodating to all the dietary needs that our guests had. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic and we would recommend Barn on Bridge and Robert Ryan Catering to anyone!

    My daughter and her new husband picked Barn on Bridge after an exhaustive wedding venue hunt, and it was the perfect venue! Tiffany was amazing, patient, funny and just a terrific person to partner with. The venue was stunning, the catering was superb, and every guest was in awe of how completely lovely the entire day was. All of us had such a wonderful time, and would recommend the Barn on Bridge to everyone. Thanks so much Robert Ryan catering, Tiffany, Michelle, and all the rest of you. What a fantastic experience to work with you!

    The Barn on Bridge was wonderful to work with! Tiffany was absolutely wonderful with helping us plan our event and answer any questions throughout our year of planning! She made the experience fun and exciting. Madison was great during the day of our wedding, as she was extremely organized and executed everything perfectly. We honestly could not have asked for a better venue and everything was perfect! The food was delicious and we had multiple guests rave about the filet mignon as our entree (as well as the sea bass). The servers/bartenders/chefs were extremely pleasant and ensured all the food came out delicious and in record time. I would not change a single thing that happened over the course of our planning process or wedding day. Thank you to everyone at The Barn on Bridge!

    Thank you so much! It was our pleasure to make your special day perfect! Congratulations to you both!

    I really do not have enough words to express my gratitude for both Amanda Smith and Madison Tupper. Amanda took the time to answer all of our questions -- even ones that we felt were a little silly, but weren't quite sure of the proper answer or wedding etiquette. She was always so kind, sweet, and compassionate, and was willing to work, and stop at no end, to solve a few complications and road bumps that we encountered along the way due to medical complications on my behalf. Both Amanda and Madison were always so professional, while remaining fun and very excited for me, my husband, and our families. If I could rate their assistance and professionalism 10 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! They made our day a dream come true.

    As far as the facility and catering itself, we are so happy that we chose Robert Ryan Catering/The Columbia Station. For brides seeking a seamless wedding day, filled with moments of endless joy, love, laughter, and beauty -- look no further! Robert Ryan Catering at The Columbia Station will fulfill all of your wedding day wishes, leaving you with everlasting memories.

    The food was phenomonal! I am a very picky eater but they were very flexible and made certain things just for me which was great. They also were able to work around the food allergies our guests had so that everyone was pleased. They served way more food than our guests could consume! All in all they did a fantastic job and we have no complaints.

    Robert Ryan Catering gave us a wedding day we will never forget! Olivia was amazing, she went above and beyond in ensuring that we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding and we were so impressed with how well the night flowed from the passing of hor d'oeuvres, the delicious food stations, the awesome bartender to the cutting of the cake. We loved those fried tomato sliders-wow! Planning a wedding is stressful, but your team really put us at ease, which is why you were the caterer we had to have. We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends and family for future events.
    Thanks so much!
    Michael and Tony

    The Barn on Bridge was amazing! We booked over a year in advance and Tiffany helped us get to the big day from the beginning! Luke made sure the reception flowed smoothly.

    Robert Ryan Catering did the most amazing job at our wedding!! We worked with them for our wedding at Appleford Estate in Villanova, PA, and could not be happier. From the very beginning Mark and the entire team were wonderful to work with and made the planning process easy and seamless for us.
    Our guests loved the hors d'oeurves and entrees - all of the food was fantastic.
    Madison was our event day supervisor and I can't say enough good things about her!! She was so friendly and great to work with throughout the whole process. Everything was set up perfectly and exactly how we wanted on the day of the wedding.
    I highly recommend Robert Ryan Catering for any event!!
