William Penn Inn Reviews

A fabulous venue for both your ceremony and reception. The gardens were beautiful for pictures. The food was spectacular and the cake was included in the price. The staff, from event coordinator to wait staff was extremely professional and helpful every step of the way. Our wedding day coordinator was amazing and really made every last detail was perfect.

Perfect venue for our dream wedding—stunning location, amazing food, superb staff, flawless day!

Our wedding at William Penn Inn was a dream come true! We got married in September of 2023 and worked primarily with Darlene. She is such a joy and has such a kind heart! We loved working with her and she became our friend throughout the whole planning process. She answered every question we had and was quick to respond. We had a wonderful meal tasting at the restaurant a few months before the big day. Our family was treated so well and we enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate the special time in our life. Our rehearsal was a fun experience and we enjoyed seeing our vision come to life. We look back on our wedding day so fondly. The timeline was perfect, the food was wonderful and the decor was exactly what we envisioned. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests and it is truly a testament to how special WPI is. Darlene and team are so talented and truly put us at ease. We can’t recommend the William Penn Inn enough! 🩷

William Penn Inn was the a spectacular place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. Darlene Schneider the wedding coordinator did an outstanding job with guiding us through the whole process of our wedding planning and made sure everything went smoothly on our special day. She is so friendly and was helpful in any aspects that we had questions with. The day of our wedding we were so impressed with all of the staff, they went above and beyond with their professionalism and hospitality. All of our guests raved about how delicious the food was!! 10/10 I would recommend the William Penn Inn to anyone looking for a venue. It was both fancy and yet very affordable! Out of all the options we explored, we are so happy we chose this venue. Everything turned out even better than I could have even imagined. Thank you Darlene and all of the staff at William Penn Inn for making our day magical!

The William Penn Inn was a perfect wedding venue! They made the day so easy and were great to work with. Great food, great atmosphere, beautiful venue.

I couldn’t ask for more on our wedding day. The venue was perfect. We had to move our wedding inside because of rain and it still looked amazing. Highly recommend!!!

I cannot express enough gratitude and respect for everyone I dealt with at William Penn!! Darlene was a coordinator and was amazing helping ask alll my questions and I asked a lot lol and very responsive with everything involved with planning the wedding! She was so helpful with everything as well and just soo friendly and professional. My other gratitude goes out to Cathy who was amazing helping during the whole day! She was sooo attentive and helpful and friendly and professional and don’t wan to repeat words lol but any other word to describe outstanding! My day was amazing all thanks to the staff at William penn! The food was delicious and the open bar was a plus lol much love to all involved 🥰 thank you soo much!

I highly recommend this wedding venue if you like beautiful classic historical place with great food (it have to be as they’re a restaurant) and working with very helpful and accommodating staff. Literally an one stop shop that provides with details of the wedding that you don’t need to worry about. The best part is the cost, it comes with open bar, cocktail hour, reception hall (we did the carriage ballroom), dinner, wedding cake, bridal suite, overnight stay for the couple (if available), event coordinator that guides you throughout the night, basic centerpieces (honestly the flowers were sooo pretty), table number, cute wall personalize welcome sign, table cloth and setting, indoor ceremony (provided chairs) and plenty of parking for the guest. You don’t have to do much decorations as the place itself is beautiful.

Weddings are super stressful and they made it so easy and fun for me (a bridal with an one year old). I highly recommend this place to anyone!

We cannot recommend the William Penn Inn enough! Cathy was absolutely amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and very timely with responses from the day we requested information to our wedding day a year and a half later. The staff at the WPI were willing to accommodate every single request we had without issue.
On our wedding day, the entire staff went above and beyond to make all of our wedding dreams come true. Everything went so smoothly, the set-up was picture perfect, the breakdown at the end of the night was efficient and they really made sure we felt like guests at our own wedding!
The food and desserts were delicious and guests were raving about it all night long.
We highly recommend the WPI for your wedding day - their all inclusive package makes the wedding planning process a lot less stressful - the staff are professionals and will take care of everything to make sure your day is everything you dreamed it to be!

We had a great experience and loved working with Cathy! They were easy to work with and really went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect.

We just got married at the William Penn Inn on 10/22/21🥰 It was so beautiful!! Darlene and Ally did everything and anything to make this day as wonderful and beautiful for us! My husband and I chose the William Penn Inn after just one tour and a gut feeling. We loved it and new we had to have this as our venue. We are so glad we chose it because it was just spectacular! We got married outside on a beautiful day in the garden, which I recommend to everyone💕 their garden is manicured to perfection! The inside banquet halls are absolutely gorgeous with elegance! We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to say “I Do!”🥰

Shane and I can never thank Darlene and the rest of the William Penn Inn team enough for making our wedding day absolutely a dream come true. Our original date was for September 2020 and with the pandemic we decided to postpone. WPI was on board with the date change and completely understanding. Darlene was great to work with throughout the planning process and the crazy questions I threw at her. She even helped me through some troubleshooting with other vendors when we postponed. The day of went really well and Darlene was there bright and early with us all the way through to cleaning the bridal suite during the ceremony. Her and Ali were truly amazing and are the best at making couples feel like guests at their own wedding. All of our guests were wowed by the whole evening from the food to the service that was provided. Everyone had an amazing time!Thank you thank you thank you all!

Our reception at the William Penn Inn was nothing short of amazing. We would select this venue over and over again. You will not be disappointed, in fact, all of your expectations will be exceeded. Darlene (one of the planners) is the best! Informative, thorough, detail-oriented, easy to work with, quick to respond, and most importantly – kind and patient with all of your questions and planning every detail of your day. David (day-of attendant to us at the reception) was so calm, collected, and very attentive towards us during the entire reception. We have received so many compliments from all of our guests about how absolutely delicious all of the food was - cocktail hour, dinner, dessert (everything!) To this day, we are still getting texts from people about how outstanding everything tasted. The night was perfect - everything we dreamed of and more. The food was outstanding, the service was top-notch, and both rooms are beautiful. The building has its own unique and special classic charm that no other venues come close to. We are so grateful that we selected such an impeccable place of business (which the William Penn Inn TRULY is, on so many levels). The entire banquet team is fantastic, they genuinely CARE about making your day so special, and we just feel very blessed. The night was spectacular for us and our guests. We could go on and on. If this venue is one you are deciding between, book now! -Danielle&Vinny Volpe

Cathy and Jackie were amazing to work with. Cathy helped from day 1 to the very end. Jackie helped the day of our wedding. Both were so accommodating, helpful and professional. The service from staff and food were incredible!!

Working with Kate and the floral team at the William Penn Inn (Flower Shoppe) was such a highlight of planning my 2020 microwedding. I am so grateful my wedding planner let me know that the William Penn Inn's floral team can also handle florals for outside events not held at the inn. Kate went above and beyond what her job description requires, even meeting me at my venue to survey the space to better put together a plan and quote for our wedding. We met again in person a month before the wedding, where Kate showed me samples of what my flowers would look like, including a bouquet, centerpieces and decor. I was truly blown away by the time and effort she put in before our wedding even happened to make sure the day itself would be beautiful. 

I was also impressed by the William Penn Inn Flower Shoppe's competitive pricing -- I did a lot of florist research before choosing Kate and her team, and while of course, their talent won me over, price played a big role too. I found the prices to be extremely fair, and Kate was happy to work within our set budget.

When the pandemic changed our wedding plans, Kate jumped into action to create a smaller package that still helped bring my vision for the day to life. The day of the wedding Kate's team assembled our floral arch, greenery and candles flawlessly. My bouquet was beautiful, as were the flowers for other members of the bridal party.

We can't wait to work with Kate and the William Penn Inn Flower Shoppe team again next year for our vow renewal and reception.

William Penn Inn is beautiful as always! Cathy made us feel comfortable and was very friendly and honest. Food was delicious and we loved staying there and having our special day celebrated there. Only recommendation would be to turn off the dining music in our indoor ceremony area while the ceremony was going. Other than that great venue!

My husband and I are so thankful we chose the William Penn Inn for our wedding. They were amazing throughout the whole process, especially when we had to postpone due to COVID. Cathy was fantastic to work with during planning and was so easy to communicate with. Day of, we worked with Karen, who made sure my husband and I were taken care of the whole night.

Our wedding day seemed to run flawlessly from our end. We did not need to set up or take down anything. Everything was taken care of by the WPI. We brought our own champagne glasses and cake knife, which were engraved with our names and the WPI made sure to clean them and have them ready for us to take at the end of the night. The food was AMAZING! We have received so many compliments about the food!

Overall, the day was a dream and we could not be happier with our experience at the William Penn Inn!

When we went for our first walk through of William Penn Inn, we sat in the parking lot after and tried to decide if it was "the one." A woman knocked on our car window to ask if we would take a picture of her and her husband because it was their 5th anniversary and they got married there. They gushed about how perfect everything was and we immediately made up our minds to get married there. The fact that everything is in-house, including the florist and the cake, really made it easy to plan. We also had a lot of help from our amazing coordinator, Caryn. At the ceremony we were pampered, the room was beautifully decorated and the food was SO GOOD! As a non-traditional couple, we were unsure about a ballroom wedding, but it was so perfect and our families and friends are still raving about it. Best decision ever!

They have been so accommodating considering my situation! Their prices are fantastic and just right for everything offered. I fell in love after one visit:)

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to get married at the William Penn Inn. The coordinator was absolutely amazing, and so flexible with everything we had requested.

The staff had everything set up as expected and were so helpful and pleasant the day off. It was an absolutely amazing and flawless day!

We could not be more pleased with our decision to choose the William Penn Inn as our venue to celebrate our marriage. The WPI is a well-oiled machine. From start to finish, every detail, big and small was perfect. They made wedding planning as painless as possible. We could not have envisioned a more perfect day. They exceeded our expectations. We changed our mind multiple times throughout the process and they never wavered; the staff of WPI was nothing but accommodating and professional. It's a one-stop shop. Your venue, bakery, and flowers all from one place. They work together flawlessly and produce nothing less than the best. I would recommend WPI a million times over.

We had our wedding at the William Penn Inn a little over a month ago and could not be happier. From start to finish our event specialist Caryn was their for support and guidance. The entire staff put our minds at ease and made sure our day was everything we imagined! The atmosphere, food, flowers, and decor were truly amazing! We had the best experience through the entire wedding process with the William Penn Inn.

The William Penn Inn was the greatest! Every person we dealt with was professional and always made themselves available for any and all questions we had throughout the entire planning process. They do it all from the cake to the flowers so you don’t have to worry about anything the day of. I highly recommend the William Penn Inn for your big day.

My husband and I got married in late September (technically late summer but in my heart it's early fall), and we had the most beautiful ceremony and reception. Everyone at the Inn was so helpful and so easy to work with (particular thanks and kudos to Cathy, Darlene and Caryn, as well as Kate in the WPI Flower Shop), even when our guest numbers changed at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. I will never forget how perfect everything was. They made everything so easy for us, including letting us drop off our extras (ceremony sign, signature drink sign, sweetheart table decorations, etc.) early and then setting everything up for else. Plus, having the flower shop, bakery and restaurant in house was so convenient. I had the most beautiful flowers and cake, not to mention how delicious our cake and dinner was! I am getting hungry again just thinking about my crab cakes, wedding cake, and those caprese skewers at the cocktail hour. Plus, my guests LOVED the mac & cheese bar and crepe stand that we decided to get as add-ons. We could not have asked for a better night nor better weather. Of course, the William Penn Inn doesn't control the weather but they might as well have given how well everything all fit together. Thank you!!
