Kirsten M. Married on 09/30/2022They are amazing!!
Choose the Philander Chase Knox Estate for your wedding day and you will not be disappointed!! My husband and I are so happy that we found this venue for our day. From day one what we appreciated was that everything was coordinated together. Robert Ryan Catering operates the venue and coordinates the food drinks and even partners with the Master Baker in West Chester to coordinate the cake. To start from day one working with Amanda, our coordinator was east and well organized. She kept us up to date on every major milestone that we had to pay attention to and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help make our day special. They food was also amazing, and our guests were raving about how good everything was. You are able to got to an included food and drink tasting which was a lot of fun. The passed and stationary hor devoirs were so good and there is so much variety that you can choose from. We went with stations for our dinner and again the food was great. One of the cool things was also that if you did not meet the guest minimum (which we did not) instead of just eating the cost, they let us out the remaining balance towards upgrades, we ended up with a flat bread pizza station, smores station and quesadilla bar to name a few. Again, the food was perfect! They also coordinate all the staff, including wait staff and bar tenders. We also had an incredible day of coordinator, Edie. She was amazing and so attentive. She had all our various appetizers brought to our suite and also had dinner plates made for us so that we were able to try everything without having to worry about getting it ourselves, which is truly a blessing when you are interacting with all of your guest. Not to be outdone was the beauty of the venue itself, pictures do not do it justice, it is the perfect combo for people who don’t want a typical country club or ballroom wedding. The Philander Chase Knox estate was historic with many places for great photos and the reception tent was beautiful and well put together. It is something different. Again, we cannot say enough great things and you want be disappointed with having your wedding here!!!
