10/10 highly recommend!!

Megan and Melissa are absolute rock stars!! We switched venues about 45 days before our wedding and they worked so hard for us! I like to say they helped us plan 3.5 weddings because of the constant changes made with COVID restrictions. They were kind, caring, hard-working, detail- oriented and efficient. They knew what to do, when to do it and how to do it! We could not be more thankful to the two of them for helping our day go off without a hitch!! We had the most perfect day and it was all thanks to them!!

Disappointment with Covid-19 related cancellation

With the uncertainty of Covid-19 and not being able to work normal hours or to have the option to work extra in order to save for a wedding, this company would not refund a deposit even though we decided to cancel 367 days before our original date. If Covid-19 would not have happened, we would still be having our wedding as planned. I understand that a non-refundable deposit would not be returned if we would have changed our minds or called the wedding off for other reasons, but this is an extreme circumstance. The response from the event coordinator was very professional and cold, apologizing for hearing that we had to cancel, but then just referred to their contract where they said that it was a non-refundable deposit. We were very excited to have our ceremony and reception there, but now we are just disappointed that they could not return even a portion of our deposit because of a Covid-19 related cancellation. We would not recommend that anyone plan a wedding here until they are sure that they would not be affected by Covid-19.

Beautiful wedding reception venue!

The Pennsylvanian is an absolutely beautiful wedding reception venue! The architecture is unlike any other venue, and the outside rotunda is to die for! The staff at the Pennsylvanian was extremely easy and fun to work with and our wedding would not have been what it was without the help of the 2 wedding coordinators! They went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and we are extremely happy with our decision to have our reception at the Pennsylvanian!
