So Happy with our decision!!!
PenRyn was the most amazing venue for our Spring wedding!!! They have planners working with you from start to finish. I would email them so sporadically and they would always reply quickly and professionally.
On the day of our wedding, our coordinator and bridal attendant were extraordinary!!! We worked with Alyssa and Ares and they were so professional, detail oriented, attentive and kind. My parents and I were in awe at how helpful they were!!
Everything was absolutely flawless from start to finish. The venue was the perfect backdrop for our special day. They really executed every detail. Even their house decor was fabulous!

Additionally, I must mention the food. Our guests have not stopped raving about how delicious everything was. The cocktail hour Mac and cheese and dinner braised short rib were the big hits. Shoutout to the culinary team!
Thank you once again for everything. We are so grateful for choosing PenRyn to host our special day.-

Amazing venue!
I came across Pen Ryn when I was actually trying to find reviews for another local venue. I was captivated by the photos of previous brides so had to check it out because it was so close to home. PRE was the first venue we toured but after talking to and seeing several venues, we knew it was it. The grounds and sales staff were wonderful and because we booked over a year in advance we had our selection of dates at all three venues on the property. Another important factor was being able to have our dogs for the ceremony and they were totally fine with it (long as the ceremony was outside which we were hoping to...I came across Pen Ryn when I was actually trying to find reviews for another local venue.

Another important factor was being able to have our dogs for the ceremony and they were totally fine with it (long as the ceremony was outside which we were hoping to with a late April wedding and we got to because we got a beautiful day). We landed on Belle Voir Manor cause we loved the space it offered. Communication up till the day was great, always very responsive. Even though we only got two “planning” calls they were always quick to answer a question. I will say I was underwhelmed with the tasting. We appreciated being able to bring both sets of parents but we came hungry thinking we’d get to sample apps and even desserts (just my thought based on friends’ feedback about their tastings outside of PRE) and left hungry. The food was delicious but was not worth the cost imo ordering 6 dishes. Overall the day of, there was plenty of food and the guests raved about everything from the passed apps to the included stations and dinner/dessert itself. As for the staff, could not say more from Samantha our DOC keeping the show on the road , Brittany our attendant who always made sure we were taken care of to the serving staff and cooks, everything was fantastic. For the price, we got the most bang for our buck and could not be any happier with the day!-

Perfect Wedding Venue!
Our wedding was on June 1st, 2024 at Belle Voir Manor and we could not have dreamed of a better venue! The building itself is elegantly modern and the grounds overlooking the river were the perfect backdrop. The outdoor ceremony included lush greenery and florals to complement the pergola. This meant we didn't have to worry about any additional ceremony decorations. The indoor ceremony option was the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river, which provided a reassuring back-up plan (meaning less stressing about the weather!).
The planning process was seamless, thanks to Jordan and the exceptional team at Pen Ryn. Jordan's expertise and attention to detail alleviated so much of our stress, guiding us effortlessly through every decision....Our wedding was on June 1st, 2024 at Belle Voir Manor and we could not have dreamed of a better venue!

With all rentals, food, and drinks included, we were able to focus on enjoying our day while the team handled setup and takedown of all personal decorations, making our arrival and departure effortless.
On the day of our wedding, Brittany, our dedicated bridal attendant, was a ROCK STAR. From ensuring we always had a drink in hand to expertly managing unexpected challenges, she anticipated our every need with grace and warmth. Her attentiveness and support made our day even more memorable.
Last but not least, the food was fantastic. Every dish was delicious, receiving rave reviews from our guests. The quality and presentation were beyond compare.
We had the best experience with our wedding at Pen Ryn Estate and cannot recommend it enough! -

Great venue!
Alexis and Haley helped make our day special and kept us on track throughout it. Both before wedding and during it, Alexis communicated what to expect and made sure we were comfortable. I always was told the bride rarely eats during wedding but pen ryn was good at saving both me and my husband some food to eat after ceremony. We still got to enjoy some drinks, cocktail hour food, dinner and dessert on top of interacting with guests and dancing. Also, Belle voir (one of pen ryn mansions) was beautiful!Alexis and Haley helped make our day special and kept us on track throughout it.

Perfection
We just had our daughters wedding at Penryn, October 2023. From start to finish professionalism, knowledge, value. Chris was our coordinator, and Britney was our attendant. That is a very special combination. There was nothing that was not taken care of immediately from the early stages of planning clear through the end of the evening. The rest of the staff was wonderful and accommodating, but the stars for us was Chris and Britney. They truly went far beyond our expectations. The food was superb. The service was outstanding. If I could give them 10 stars I would.We just had our daughters wedding at Penryn, October 2023. From start to finish professionalism, knowledge, value.

Wedding Was Amazing!
We had such an amazing experience having our wedding at the PenRyn Estates! There are 3 venues on premise, and we choose to go with the Rivers Edge which is right in front of the Delaware River. This venue is definitely one of Bucks Counties hidden gem. Everything from the grand drive into the wedding halls to the food was spectacular! Every guest we had kept raving about not only the selection of food but the abundance of it. We would like to also call out 2 employees in particular who made the day even more special.

They both made sure we everything we needed was taken care of. They even went above and beyond to include little touches to make our day so much more special. I would highly recommend this wedding venue, Chris and Dom to anyone! -

Just Beautiful!
Out of the three venues that Pen Ryn offers, we chose the Pen Ryn Mansion because of the architecture and how intimate the venue feels. We've been getting plenty of compliments from our guest on how beautiful our venue was and the amount of food that was offered! There was a mishap with our ceremony, where we wanted indoors, but they set it up for an outdoor ceremony. Luckily we were very fortunate that the weather that day was gorgeous, albeit a bit cold (we got married the first weekend of April and wanted indoors just in case it rained or too cold). The service was great, we loved our attendant who was always there if we needed anything....Out of the three venues that Pen Ryn offers, we chose the Pen Ryn Mansion because of the architecture and how intimate the venue feels.

The service was great, we loved our attendant who was always there if we needed anything. The architecture of the venue was great for all sorts of photos and videos, we used their library for family photos and the organ in the ballroom for our backdrop for our photo booth. The food was great, however, the venue does not have anything to pack up the food if we don't finish, so maybe bring your own Tupperware? All in all, it was a great venue and would highly recommend this place for any event!-

Pen Ryn Mansion gave us the perfect wedding!
We had our wedding in November of 2022 at the Pen Ryn Mansion (one of the three venues on the property). It was absolutely perfect and I would not have changed a thing! Colin was our day of coordinator and he was so helpful throughout the entire day/week. We had our drop off appointment on the Wednesday night before the wedding. I was worried that they would not have space for all of the decor we brought but they gave us an entire storage room to fill up and we barely filled up a third of it.

Then, on the day of, we had a great team of bar tenders, waiters, and staff helping us all night. Everything ran so smoothly and I didn't have to tell anyone to do anything, which is exactly how it should be! My husband and I were able to enjoy the whole day stress free with the help of the Pen Ryn team. The bridal attendants brought me, my husband, our parents, and the wedding party drinks and snacks all day when we needed anything, they were there. I definitely recommend doing the early morning prep buy-out. It allowed us to get to the venue early, set up, relax, take all of our pictures, and be ready early with a stress-free morning. Pen Ryn was great about answering all of my questions throughout the planning process. Because they hold so many weddings a year, they really focus on the weddings happening soon the most, so if you feel like your questions are ever not fully answered, trust me, by the time your wedding comes, they will have everything figured out. They are amazing and I would definitely recommend Pen Ryn to anyone! They also had the best price for including the most (and we looked at a lot of vendors). In terms of price, Pen Ryn gives you the best bang for your buck! CHEERS, WE LOVE YOU PEN RYN!-

A beautiful wedding, at a gorgeous Venue!
We were married on 11/19/22 at the mansion, and had the perfect day at the perfect venue. Pen Ryn was easy to work with from start to finish, while also being reasonably priced! They allowed my family to visit the location multiple times(we even tested out our centerpieces). They make sure you are on track by scheduling check-in calls to ensure your contract/planning is all going smoothly. Scheduling the food tasting was an absolute breeze. We had far too many questions at the end of planning and the team was always quick to respond(thank you Colin, Shawna and co!).

The bridal party suit is perfect for getting ready and picture opportunities for your wedding. On the big day, Colin, our coordinator and Brittany were amazing. Thank you Brittany for always assuring we had a drink in hand!
Our cocktail hour was simply splendid— almost a month later we are still getting compliments about the food. We were told by multiple people that it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever been to. Staff made sure a tray of apps was delivered to our head table. We were slightly under our guest minimum, and Pen Ryn allowed us to assign extra meals to the head table as well.
What sold us on Pen Ryn was the estate itself. My vision was to have a “Bridgerton Wedding”, and it’s exactly what I got. The grounds are simply stunning even in winter(see pictures). The mansion itself and the library room are perfect backdrops for your photographer. We loved our wedding day, and we don’t mind the compliments we continue to receive either!
Thank you again Pen Ryn!!

Would not recommend...needs help
The rivers edge venue was everything I wanted, I booked this venue about 2 years ago during covid. Here were my disappointments Communication: the team only communicated via email. They never called you. Even on my wedding day, it was raining so I revived two unknown calls from Debbie, which I missed Becuz my phone blocks unknown calls. She called me to ask what to do since it was raining but I missed these calls due to them blocking their number so I could not call back. I missed the first tasting and lots of other notifications due to the email only contact they have in place… Direction : the day of the wedding was a mess.

She called me to ask what to do since it was raining but I missed these calls due to them blocking their number so I could not call back. I missed the first tasting and lots of other notifications due to the email only contact they have in place… Direction : the day of the wedding was a mess. My husband ran a lot of the day. We own a nightclub so it was normal for us but we did not want to run our wedding. He was so frustrated with how many things he had to direct, like how the guest were walking into the venue with me standing there taking pics Before the ceremony. Everyone saw me! And no one was directing them to another area or closing the curtains so they did not see me. When guest walked over to me to take pics, no one told them to please go back to the cocktail area. Everyone saw me before the ceremony. My husband directed majority of the day… Payment: there was no issue except the 5% increase on 2022 weddings. Mind you we booked this 2 years prior and in the contract we were not subject to the increase, we could not speak to management we had to speak through Debbie the wedding coordinator, they ultimately stated they could have charged us 5% increase for every year and basically being nice by charging us 5%. The wording of the contract stated it didn’t apply but they were saying it did, my husband was a paralegal he understood the terms and told them they were wording incorrectly. We could have went back and forth but decided not to. In the end we paid the increase but we knew it wasn’t right we just didn’t want to fight. Venue : the curtains stood down but open only in the middle between the reception area and the cocktail area which wasn’t pretty. It made the whole thing feel so separate and the curtains are that pretty. Also the music, cannot be loud. I don’t mean loud like we can’t hear each other speak I mean we heard each other talk more than the music Becuz of the noise compliance they have to comply to. It was a little downer for us we were unaware… Overall beautiful place but I wouldn’t choose it again. -

Affordable Dream Wedding
Great and beautiful venue at an affordable price for everything included in their package. We got married at Pen Ryn Mansion.
All of our guests loved the venue, food & drinks and the staff. We had multiple guests who told us that the food was great and the staff were on point in terms of attending to them. This venue is historical and beautiful with the Delaware River right behind our wedding ceremony area outside. This venue checked off all of my husband and my wants: historical, beautiful outdoor ceremony, Plan B ceremony without additional cost, affordable, open bar, good food and drinks, day of coordinator from the venue.

The staff set up all my decor and items I dropped off prior to the wedding.
From my experience, you have to be planner/detail-oriented to get the best wedding day experience. I reviewed the contract thoroughly to make sure everything was correct, as they will only abide to the contract. I had to correct the contract multiple times to make sure my pricing and all the items were how & where I wanted them to be set up. The week before my wedding was the most stressful since they were not available Mondays & Tuesdays. Wednesday is when you drop-off/"rehearsal" and submit final payment. I had to call multiple times on Wednesday before my wedding to get the correct balance to get a certified check. It does take a little time for responses and communication so you may need to follow-up, as some emails could not come through.
Overall, I would recommend Pen Ryn as a venue as long as you're a planner/detail-oriented. It is a beautiful and affordable venue with wonderful service. -

My wedding was absolutely perfect and it is all thanks everyone at Pen Ryn! Colin was amazing on my wedding day. He was always there if needed help. He really made the day go smooth! Denyse was a pleasure talking to you and I am thankful for her help during the planning process. Brittany (our bridal attendant) is the most amazing human on the planet. We can’t thank her enough. Me and my husband still talk about how amazing she is. She was always by my side to get me anything I needed. There wasn't a moment I didn't have a drink in my hand. But really, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue and a better group of people to help me along the way. I will be forever grateful! 10/10!

Such an Awesome Experience
I mostly worked with Shauna and Colin. Colin was really great. It took us years to finally have this event due to having to change the date because of Covid and then I got pregnant. They were flexible in letting me pick a new date. Communication was through email and they were swamped with emails so there were delays in the beginning. As time came closer to my wedding date communication was great and I had no worries. So many food options. I recommend the ice cream bar and cheesesteaks. I felt catered to that day. I didn’t have to ask for a thing. Didn’t even notice there was another wedding happening at their other venues. Easy parking. Handicap...I mostly worked with Shauna and Colin. Colin was really great.

Thank you Pen Ryn!
We had a great experience at Pen Ryn Mansion for our wedding on 8/13. The outdoor ceremony was absolutely beautiful with the Delaware River backdrop and Mansion image as the bridal party walked out. We loved the library and cocktail hour space and received so many compliments on the food both during the cocktail hour and reception.
Debbie worked incredibly hard to make our wedding perfect and we couldn't be more thankful. Between the final phone call, rehearsal dinner, and day of event, she truly went beyond what we expected of her role to help us. We wanted a craft beer brought in as a signature drink and she made sure to get it, despite supply chain issues...We had a great experience at Pen Ryn Mansion for our wedding on 8/13.

We wanted a craft beer brought in as a signature drink and she made sure to get it, despite supply chain issues that were out of her control. She even helped fix my bustle with a binder clip. I trusted her throughout the night and I know my parents felt well taken care of as well.
We felt the venue was reasonable for what was included. We appreciated that food/alcohol were included so there were less vendors that we had to contact. We would recommend Pen Ryn Estate for weddings! -

Perfect Venue
Everything about Pen Ryn was great - the venue itself (we were at the Mansion), the pricing and everything that's included in the package, and especially the staff. The entire team top to bottom was right on top of everything and we want to give special thanks to Jen and the bartenders, our day-of coordinator Colin, and our personal attendant Dominic who was always appearing with another drink or whatever we needed. We're hoping to be invited to a wedding here in the near future so we can enjoy it as guests!Everything about Pen Ryn was great - the venue itself (we were at the Mansion), the pricing and everything that's included in the package, and especially the staff.

Superior Service!
All of the staff at Pen Ryn Estate were wonderful to work with! They promptly responded to my emails, calls, and answered any questions that came up during the wedding planning process. My husband and I were especially grateful for our event coordinators Alec and James and our attendant Dom! They took care of everything so that we didn't have to do ANY setting up or breaking down of decor or other tasks on our wedding day. They also made sure that we stayed on schedule, ate, stayed hydrated during the hot June day, and got to truly enjoy our day with our guests.

Pen Ryn made the whole wedding planning process smooth and organized. They gave certain deadlines through out the year to help us move along. The customer service and response time was always fantastic! The day of service made me feel like a princess.

Amazing experience!
We choose Pen Ryn the Mansion for our wedding day and I can not say enough good things about the team and venue over there. From start to finish they were amazing. Colin is an angel and made all of our dreams come true! Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day so we had to move the ceremony inside but he and his team made it beautiful.
The food was also AMAZING! My only regret was not getting to try everything as you get pulled in many directions throughout the day. I hope to come back one day for another event or wedding. We highly recommend using them they are fantastic!We choose Pen Ryn the Mansion for our wedding day and I can not say enough good things about the team and venue over there.

Magical Day I'll Never Forget
From the moment I booked with Pen Ryn, I knew I was going to have a magical day! Their sales team really helps you envision the day and provide such a welcoming experience. When first engaged I was so overwhelmed with the wedding process, but Pen Ryn made it easy to not only celebrate the engagement but get ready to plan the biggest day of my life. Then, once I was transferred to the Event Team, things really thrived. All my communications were answered in a reasonable time, but they also sent plenty of reminders to make sure I wasn't sending emails in panic mode. The day of the wedding was a whole nother level.

I wish I could do this day all over again, and would highly recommend Pen Ryn Estate to anyone!-

Long review but spend your money elsewhere!
This is a long review. But I think it's important to know what you're getting yourself into before booking this venue. The one star we've given is for our Maitre D', Judy, who was wonderful to us the entire night, for the amazing bartenders, and for the guys escorting our guests with the golf carts. If you don't take the time to look at this review, at least look in the back of our picture to see the attitude of many of the staff members the entire night of our wedding.

If you don't take the time to look at this review, at least look in the back of our picture to see the attitude of many of the staff members the entire night of our wedding.
Prior to the Wedding:
- Lack of Care for their Clients:
With less than a month left to the wedding date (11/7), we received nothing but generic mass emails sent out to us about when our seating chart was due from the venue. The last time they had reached out to us was in July. We had to reach out to them to get any answers about the venue and how our wedding day was going to go.
- Lack of Accommodation or Understanding:
The River’s Edge venue, when we originally viewed it with their staff, was taken down because it was winter of 2020. We asked to meet at least one of the coordinators in person to do a tour of the venue together when it was up so we could ask questions. They said they could not and that we should do a self-guided tour. So we yielded—we did the self-guided tour and asked if we could have a zoom meeting with them so that my family could sit in on it and ask questions as well (since they would be helping with the decor). The event team said they couldn’t do a zoom meeting and could only do a phone call because "they didn't have cameras on their computers". So we yielded—we asked if we could do it Monday or Tuesday at 4pm because that would be the only time that all of our work schedules would work. They said they could not and that Wednesday at 11a, 12p,1p, or 2p would be the times that we could choose from. We yielded and yielded. But they couldn’t even meet us halfway.
On the Wedding Day
- Some Pros:
I would just like to emphasize, Judy, our Maitre D’ I think she was, was AMAZING. She ensured that we were at least getting some food and drinks in us as we were greeting guests and taking pictures. We never didn’t have a drink in our hands because of her.
The bartenders were WONDERFUL.
THE CONS:
- Didn't get what we paid for:
We heard from more than 10 different people that they didn’t see any hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail hour… Which is horrible because we paid for it.
- COMPLETE LACK of Professionalism of the Staff:
The other staff that day, many of them had horrible attitudes. Which can be seen in the back of the picture of us that’s attached. I’m also not sure if they’ve ever worked at a wedding, or even served, before because glasses and plates were being dropped all night by the staff. We also heard from 3 people who overheard a conversation between 2 of the servers where one server told the other that one of the children had asked for ketchup for their chicken tenders. The other replied stating, “I don’t feel like going back there to get its. Just TELL THEM WE DON’T HAVE ANY.” I’m sorry, WHAT? I mean, I was absolutely appalled when I heard this and wish I knew that night so I could’ve said something directly to those servers.
Plates were taken away (Even after our two of our friends specifically asked their server not to take them away) when people had gotten up to get a drink from the bar before they even took a bite of their meal so many of our guests left hungry…
Our beautiful wedding cake, which was included in the price of our venue, was cut up and put in a HEAPING pile on the dessert table for guests to scoop like slop onto their plates. I wish I had taken a picture of it
- Inconveniences:
We couldn’t play music at a certain level because the venue isn’t enclosed enough for the sound not to get out and bother the neighbors. We didn’t think the music was loud enough but we understood. This was just a minor inconvenience but I figured it would be something that would be helpful for others choosing a venue.Pen Ryn Estate's reply:
We starkly disagree with this review and there are plenty of other reviews that display complete contrast. Ironically, the day after your event we received an email saying "we had a wonderful time", therefore we are always confused when receiving these reviews. If things were as important as they were, why not tell us right after the event, so we could have fixed them? Why wait 2 months after and bring up points never even shared prior to the big day? We can change the future, we can't fix the past. Then, you received plenty of personal emails, personal calls with event planners prior to July.When we have to resort to a self-guided it's because we are booked with... -

Nightmare experience
Don’t get me wrong on first impression looking on the grounds beautiful venue. They just have horrible workers especially Donna. She was the most rude person I came across in a long while. I booked them before the pandemic and had to reschedule our wedding we was told if we rescheduled for any dates after June we would have to pay an additional $2500.00. They had several different people emailing asking for the same information and they didn’t communicate with each other.

On the of my rehearsal I meet with Donna at that point I was told I had to pay the highest price for the food on the menu because I did not submit my menu list back on time, mind you I had been over this list with her and another persons over and over again. My fiancé went to the car and got the money Donna got up and said she would be right back and let us to go attend to another couple and ignored us. The biggest problem was when she told our pastor that she was not helping us because we didn’t pay our money and walk up on us while we were doing our rehearsal and stood there even when the pastor asked for a couple minutes. She’s a disgraced. The money we spend was not worth the service.
Ps. The guy that ended up helping us on our wedding day was very nice and attentive sorry don’t remember his name.Pen Ryn Estate's reply:
We feel as though reviews like this we always need to give our side of the story. Our entire team talks to one another, as we have several software systems to keep communication straight but we also sit together in the same office. We hear everything and work wholesomely as a team. Anything sort of a team effort means your day does not go perfectly, and we're left heartbroken. However, what complicates things is when wedding details change quickly, or final details meetings/phone calls and emails are ignored for months and this results in last minute decisions. We keep all customers on track and organized as we fully understand planning a wedding is a lot, however, there is only... -
