Dina Sent on 11/08/2023Beautiful venue and especially helpful, accommodating staff!
The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff, most especially Carina, made it a wonderful experience! We got the most basic package and a cake, open bar, signature drinks, food and a free night at a hotel were all included! We had our own centerpieces but they offer centerpieces as well, votive candles and chiavari chairs without an extra charge like other venues. The food was delicious, guests raved about it all night! Our dog was able to attend for the ceremony and photos, which we really wanted. They have the option to do the ceremony outside at a gazebo or inside the tent room, which is beautiful in itself. We were going to do the ceremony outdoors but it ended up being extremely windy so they moved everything indoors the morning of for the ceremony in a quick, efficient manner. We had the Bridal Suite from 12-4 before the ceremony started at 4:15 and while we got ready, Carina took me into the reception hall to double check the decor to ensure it was exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed with this venue and many guests absolutely loved it as well! I especially appreciate Carina’s help and how she made it as stress free as possible, while also reminding us frequently that it’s our day and everything is up to us. -

We had the most amazing time planning and finally having our wedding there. We found them while attending a bridal expo and the brochure was over the top and that should have been the tell tale sign that this is how they run their weddings. 2 packages and all inclusive were both to things like tax, tips, plate chargers, nice upscale chairs, valet, linen color to your choosing, bridal suite with pump chairs....I can go on and on. Ramona was the best! I would not skip them in your search. -

Amazing Venue and Amazing Staff!
We spent a long time researching venues, and we happened to see a table for Penn Oaks at the bridal expo we attended (which was already on our radar of places we might be interested in touring). This is where we first met and spoke with Ramona. From the very beginning she was amazing and so helpful with our thousands of questions. After speaking with her, we felt more confident that Penn Oaks was definitely a top contender for our wedding venue. We scheduled a tour and afterwards we had no doubt this was the perfect place for us. Penn Oaks was very accommodating to our unique requests and Ramona worked with us throughout the entire process. We saved a lot of money with their off season 20% discount! The value of their packages is also great considering everything they include that other places did not. For example, our wedding cake, centerpieces and linens were all included!! (and they had a TON of options to choose from for the linens) They work with a few different bakers for the wedding cake and you get to choose the one you want to work with. We used the Master's Baker and the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious. One of my favorite aspects for this venue was the flexibility for indoor vs outdoor ceremony. We were able to decide the day of whether or not we wanted everything set up outside or set up inside. It gave us a lot of peace of mind that even if the weather on our wedding day was rainy or too cold we had the option to set up inside. We ultimately did decide to have an indoor ceremony because it was a little too cold outside, but the tent space was so pretty with the curtain style lights and the chandeliers and all of the natural light! The food was fantastic and we had so many guests tell us this was the best steak they have ever had! There were so many options to choose from with all the appetizers and the stations and the entrees, we were all so stuffed by the end of the night. We had the most amazing wedding we could have wished for thanks to Ramona and we are so so glad we chose Penn Oaks. -

We had a perfect wedding at Penn Oaks. Carina was the most AMAZING coordinator! She made sure our day was everything we wanted it to be. The venue was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond. Every request that we made was never a problem for them. I will always be grateful for Carina and will always recommend Penn Oaks to couples in the future! We were told over and over by guest how amazing the food was and how much they loved the atmosphere! -

Penn Oaks is incredible!!!
Choose Penn Oaks for your wedding day! We toured about 15 venues when we first got engaged, and Penn Oaks checked every single box for us: beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, great food, actually affordable packages and amazing service. From the second we met Carina, she was the absolute best! Throughout our nearly two years of planning, she was super responsive to emails and texts and was always there to give advice and answer my million questions. We did the William Penn package with six additional food stations—including enhanced dessert options and a late night station with hoagies and pretzels—and a photo booth that everyone loved. Our guests raved about our cocktail hour with crab cake sliders, cheesesteaks, french fry bar, 10 passed hors d'oeuvres and more. We opted for the fireworks and it was so worth it! Everyone was so wowed and the photos and videos were incredible. The only regret I have from our wedding is that we couldn't attend it as a guest. I will recommend it to everyone! -

The Perfect Wedding Experience
There is only one word that I can use to describe my wedding day at Penn Oaks: PERFECT. The whole experience with Ramona and the team at Penn Oaks leading up to the wedding was incredible. My husband and I are extremely type A personalities, and everyone kept noticing how relaxed we were in the days leading up to the wedding and our wedding day-- that's because we had complete trust in Ramona and the Penn Oaks team to have everything handled. They were there through every step of the process, giving advice, working with us on all the little details, and setting us up with the best vendors for our day. With an incredibly stunning venue (gazebo, tent, reception space), beautiful fall decor, the most INCREDIBLE food (a former chef said it was the best filet he had ever eaten) with amazing service from staff, and a stunning fireworks show, the night was perfect from beginning to end. Not only did we love it, but all of our guests could not stop raving. We heard from multiple guests that this was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we are 100% confident that they meant that. This day was everything that my husband and I could have ever asked for and more, and all the credit goes to the team at Penn Oaks for making it happen. We would recommend Penn Oaks to every single bride that was looking to get married. -

Krys F. Sent on 10/28/2022Thank you Penn Oaks and Carina
We had such an amazing wedding weekend at Penn Oaks!
We unfortunately lost our initial venue and though I was devastated to be starting from square one, our first meeting with Carina for a tour made us realize it was meant to be! She was extremely kind and hospitable and made our entire process from start to finish seamless...we couldn't be happier with our choice! We hosted a wedding luncheon in the Pub Patio the day before our wedding and it was absolutely phenomenal. The space was very comfortable and the catering team were accommodating to our dietary restrictions. They laid everything out perfectly and made space to fit our decor.
On our wedding day, we were fortunate to have amazing weather so took advantage of all the gorgeous spaces. Carina made sure we made it out to some excellent spots for photos. From arrival to departure, everything went smoothly and we had everything we needed! Our guests had such an amazing time. Food and drinks were very good. And I didn't feel stressed out at all!
Carina absolutely meant it when she said that she "would take great care" of us. Her communication with us, our wedding planners and vendors was first-class. The entire team at Penn Oaks was outstanding - they were professional, accommodating and most importantly, genuinely committed to making our day the very best. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Thank you -

My husband and I got married on 8/21/2022 at Penn Oaks Golf Club and everything was just perfect! A beautiful venue with adequate space for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. I found Penn Oaks via The Knot where Carina responded to my wedding inquiry! She’s truly amazing from our initial online encounter to meeting in person. The best wedding coordinator I could’ve worked with…Carina understood my vision and assisted me in making it a reality. She’s organized, attentive to details and very professional. Thanks to Carina and the Penn Oaks staff, our wedding day was beautiful and unforgettable (see links below). Carina made sure it was a relaxed day for me and indeed it was! It was an absolute pleasure working with her and Penn Oaks. My husband and I highly recommend Penn Oaks Golf Club to host your wedding!

Penn Oaks is Amazing!!
Let me start out by saying that Penn Oaks is the most amazing venue to EVER work with! 10/10 recommend them for your future Wedding/Events. They demonstrate professionalism with hard work, timeliness & accommodations to fit your needs. For example: Ramona-the Wedding Coordinator is amazing!! I would email her late at night with questions & she would answer me right away (even when she was on vacation/medical appointments/etc…) she truly showed me that she valued me & accommodated all of my wants/needs. Our Wedding Day was gorgeous & the most memorable day of our lives all thanks to Penn Oaks!Penn Oaks Golf Club's reply:
Thank you Angie, it was my pleasure to be apart of your Special Day!

Our wedding day at Penn Oaks was absolutely PERFECT. The entire experience was amazing - especially working with Ramona from Penn Oaks. Ramona helped us with everything, down to the smallest of details. She was the perfect coordinator and helped our day go off without a hitch. The food, the staff, and the atmosphere really helped make our wedding a memorable day. We decided to go for a brunch style wedding and they knocked it out of the park. If you are looking for a place in the Philly area to host your wedding, we would highly recommend reaching out to Penn Oaks!! 10/10!! -

Simply Perfect
Planning a wedding during a pandemic has certainly raised it’s challenges, but choosing Penn Oaks as our venue was certainly not a challenge, it was an easy decision. We toured many wedding venues before making our choice but the standout difference in our decision making was Carina. In our initial meeting Carina made us feel welcome, comfortable, and it was very clear that she was a professional and given the circumstances, we needed a professional in our corner. From the initial meeting, to the tasting of appetizers and dinner selections, to the meetings to go over the final details, Carina was an allstar and after every visit to Penn Oaks we were reassured we were in great hands and on track to have the perfect day.
Our cocktail hour went great, we had two amazing bartenders who were very knowledgeable on drinks and made us the perfect signature drink, and our guests are still talking about the food they had for hors d’oeuvres and at the individual stations. While taking photos out on the golf course Carina kept us and our photographers on track with the timing and assisted during the process; from carrying flowers and helping with my dress to make sure I looked my best. The ceremony came and then the slow dances and speeches and we had the most wonderful night, topped off by an amazing display of fireworks. In looking back on the process, and dealing with Carina and Penn Oaks, there is not a single regret, or a single “I wish we would have….” Everything went perfectly and we did not have a single hiccup, and if we had to do the night over 100 times, Penn Oaks would be picked every time.

Penn Oaks was the perfect place to have our wedding. Ramona was very responsive the entire time. I felt like she was a second mom to me the entire time, giving suggestions and ways to improvise in order to get things exactly how I envisioned our day from the first day we met to the second before the ceremony began. There's no need to have a day of coordinator because the woman did it all and was so flexible & patient through the process!! She knows all the ins & outs which was so helpful especially to our photographer who had never been to Penn Oaks before. Ramona led us to the most beautiful locations around the gold course so we could have breathtaking pictures. There is nothing you really need outside of the venue. They have decor for centerpieces you can rent for such a low price which is SO helpful because its one less thing you have to worry about buying and transporting. They even have a photobooth option which we utilized as well which again, makes it easier because it's one less thing to coordinate. We had over 200 guests and the food all came out so hot & delicious we are still getting compliments on the food weeks later. This isn't a chain, this place makes you feel like you are so welcomed and they made our dream wedding come true. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone, I have no regrets!! Thank you to all Penn Oaks staff and a special thank you to Ramona!! Best day of our lives! -

Best Venue!
We cannot say enough good things about Penn Oaks. Between our wedding coordinator Carina and all the other coordinators helping during the wedding day and days leading up to the wedding, everyone was so polite and helpful (especially Carina though)! She was a great communicator throughout the whole process and helped make our day run smoothly. For the venue itself, we received many compliments on the beauty of the tented area with the hanging lights - we highly suggest doing the ceremony in here like we did. The food was great and the staff did an excellent job getting everyone their meals quickly. We did the photobooth and fireworks too and guests loved it! My wife and I are so glad we picked Penn Oaks. -

Best decision we made!
- [ ] My husband and I could not be more grateful that we had our wedding at Penn Oaks!! For starters it included our amazing wedding coordinator, Ramona Swift!! Ramona was with us every step of the way any text, phone call, or email she was so quick to respond! Ramona had the best wedding planning advice and guided us seamlessly through the entire planning process, I truly do not believe our wedding would have been as magical as it was if it wasn’t for her! Even up until the day of she coordinated us every step of the way and kept us on the perfect timeline. She was the point of contact for all of our vendors allowing my family and my parents to concentrate on enjoying the moment and the day and truly be there to celebrate us. We honestly felt like we were robbing Penn Oaks with how much help Ramona provided! I felt as if I hired an outside wedding planner but she was included in the price!! We chose the William Penn Package which was an all inclusive with no hidden fees and gratuity included. We tipped extra because our service and planning process was immaculate. Our package was based on price per plate which included 10 butlered hors d’oeuvres, 6 food stations including an end of the night station of hoagies and pretzels which I used as our “favors”, a premium open bar, a plated dinner, dessert station, premium coffee station, and our FOUR TIER WEDDING CAKE was even included! We also had a photo booth included in the price per plate in which they provided a take home album of every photo our guests have taken! They also provided centerpieces, table numbers, champagne glasses, cake cutting sets, easels and anything else you can ask for that usually runs up the price of weddings. They also covered the accommodations for the night of your wedding at a nearby hotel. My husband, my family, and my friends cannot stop talking about how magical our wedding was I cannot thank Ramona and the team enough I have absolutely no regrets and believe everyone should have their wedding at Penn Oaks. I wish we could live it over and over again. We were married on October 1st, 2021 and were navigating around all of the covid wedding pushed back so for us to even find a date was lucky! Penn Oaks being all inclusive took away all of the stress of planning a wedding down to giving us a list of amazing vendors in which we found our photographer, Tom Fuller, at Fuller Photography that we absolutely fell in love with!! They have plenty of add ons you can choose too and we took advantage of the fireworks which I highly recommend it was a huge hit with our guests! I am so incredibly thankful we chose Penn Oaks and we’re lucky enough for Ramona to be our wedding planner. A truly perfect venue and day!!!

Kaila C. Sent on 08/19/2021Penn Oaks is absolutely stunning
We cannot say enough about how amazing of a venue Penn Oaks is! The day we went to visit Penn Oaks while still deciding on a venue, we were visiting another venue immediately after. Dawn Claffey gave us the tour of the venue and sat down with us to discuss every aspect of the venue, our wedding planning, everything Penn Oaks has to offer, and just made casual conversation with us as well. The second venue we visited was a completely different experience, and it was because the coordinator was just not as personable as Dawn, so we immediately decided on Penn Oaks that night. Not only is Dawn a great person but she is extremely knowledgeable and gave us extremely valuable feedback and insight all the way through the wedding planning process and made planning the wedding all that much easier on us. When working with other vendors we would tell them the reception was at Penn Oaks and they all had great things to say; this continued to make us more excited for the big day. On our wedding day the venue was beautiful, and everything was incredibly well-organized from the cocktail hour all the way through dinner and the end of the night. The food was fantastic, and every single person working that night was so great and friendly. The bartenders were quick but also extremely pleasant. We opted for the fireworks, and it was absolutely worth it. Our guests have had nothing but great things to say about our wedding, and we could not be happier with our choice to go with Penn Oaks!

Exceptional!
My husband and I got married at Penn Oaks on April 23, 2021, and our day was an absolute dream! We cannot say enough about how incredible Carina was to work with. From start to finish, she made everything easy for us - from coming in to see the venue as much as we needed, multiple food tastings, helping us re-plan our postponed wedding, to our absolutely magical day, and even after with our decoration pick up! Carina helped us to create our dream wedding and went above and beyond to help us pull off our perfect day. She even went out the night before to buy new floating candles to fit our centerpieces, and hand stitched my wedding dress back together after someone stepped on the back before the ceremony! We are forever grateful to Carina for our flawless day and couldn't imagine working with anyone else as wonderful as her! The venue itself was gorgeous, and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather to be able to utilize all the options on the grounds. We held our ceremony outside, cocktail hour under the beautiful, tented patio, and the reception in the ballroom. It was so nice to be able to know what we were spending, as there were no hidden fees and the package pricing made it so easy to choose our options. Our guests are still raving about the food and fireworks! From the bottom of our hearts – THANK YOU, Carina, and team at Penn Oaks for making our wedding day one we will never forget!! -

The best of the best!
Penn Oaks had me sold the moment I went there. I loved how beautiful the club was, and I loved their wedding packages and the pricing. Ellen and Dawn were a joy to work with, extremely responsive and flexible; I felt taken care of the entire year I worked with them. There is something to be said about the integrity of the club too- with covid still going on they did not charge me a minimum when most venues still were. This was a huge reason we are even happier with Penn Oaks as we had to cut our guest list down to 80 people for immunocompromised family members. Our guests told us all night how delicious the cocktail hour food was and how great the drinks were. They loved the tent and ballroom area, too and commented on how beautiful not only the reception area was, but the surrounding golf course and outdoor area. I loved every minute of my wedding and every detail Dawn and her staff put together. It was the best day of my life and the Penn Oaks staff made everything so perfect for myself, my husband, and our guests. Thank you so much Penn Oaks! -

Planning a COVID wasn't easy, but their grounds offered so much flexibility that we were able to seamlessly move our wedding from indoor to outdoor without having to cut our guest list at all! And, after all was said and done, we think moving everything to the patio made for much better aesthetics and acoustics overall. We’re still getting compliments on how beautifully everything turned out. We could not be happier with our choice. Our wedding coordinator, Carina, as absolutely amazing with us. Her communication was on point and she was always there for us, ready with an answer whenever we had questions. Especially during all the uncertainty in the height of the pandemic. We can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend you work with her! Overall, Penn Oaks were super accommodating, flexible, and understanding. Hands down, best choice we made. -

Penn Oaks Golf Club hosted our wedding August 16, 2020 and it was the best day of our entire lives. When we first saw the venue we knew it’s was the one! We had to get married there. The grounds, gazebo, patio, and ballroom are all absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding coordinator Dawn is very friendly and outgoing. She makes things easy and puts your mind at ease. We felt like we had already known her for years. We had no trouble at all rescheduling our wedding to a new date with Penn Oaks due to Covid 19. On the day of our wedding we used the open air patio for both our ceremony and reception due to inclement weather. We dropped off our wedding decorations a few days prior and on our wedding day Dawn and her staff made the place absolutely beautiful. It blew my expectations away. The staff and bartenders were very polite and attentive the entire time and even packed up all of our items for us that we had to bring home. The food was delicious and we received many compliments from our guests. We will definitely be visiting Penn Oaks again for our 1 year anniversary dinner. Dawn and the staff at Penn Oaks are great and go above and beyond to make you feel special and comfortable. I highly recommend this venue for your event and I promise you you won’t regret it. Our day was perfect!!
