Coordinators Testimonial:
I knew I was in for a treat when I met Mari who is an interior designer and her now husband Drew. Everything about their wedding was an explosion of color, chic details, and steeped with Brazilian tradition. We all enjoyed their Brigadeiro’s made by her family and hand embroidered towels made by an Aunt that couldn’t be there that is one of their family traditions. Their personal details even included the creative naming of their signature cocktails, ‘Mari Me’ and ‘I Drew’. Their families made me feel like I was one of them. I will always look back fondly on this wedding!

Couples Testimonial:

“Penryn Park was the first venue we toured after we got engaged. It was love at first sight and we both knew we could not get married anywhere else, even after looking at other options! As a bride, getting ready at the mansion felt like a dream, but having the ceremony under the beech tree was even more special. The staff at Penryn was amazing not only on the day off, but throughout the wedding planning process. Judy was there for us at every step of the way, answering our questions, giving suggestions and to ease any of our concerns. Our wedding day was beautiful and truly the happiest day of our lives!”
