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! GET MARRIED HERE

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. This was mine and my husband's first event at Pen Ryn Estate and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Thank you so much Pen Ryn Estate for helping to make our wedding day so special!

We had an amazing experience with Pen Ryn for our wedding. Ours was at the newest venue River’s Edge and it was beautiful. The venue is right on the river and is breathtaking. Our guests could not stop telling us how beautiful and incredible it was. My favorite part was the lighting in the tent, it was so pretty! Colin and Shauna and the staff were great and made sure we ate as the couple and had everything we needed.

They were great about finding is a rescheduled date due to Covid and we couldn’t be more happy with how our day turned out. We wish we could relive it everyday! Thank you so much to the team at Pen Ryn for making our wedding dream a reality.
