    From the moment we first reached out to the team at The Sanctuary on Penn, their communication was personal, prompt, and incredibly detailed. Their attention to detail throughout the planning process and the day of made my wedding day so relaxing for me. The venue itself is clean, beautiful, and truly unique - my guests were raving about how special and memorable the space was. The Sanctuary on Penn created so many special moments for me and my husband, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue that will make planning a breeze and leave all of your guests in awe. Their pricing is very reasonable for all of the additional attention and care they give you.

    I have performed at many venues during my 40 years of entertaining, but I have never enjoyed any venue as much as I do the Sanctuary on Penn. The staff is exceptionally friendly and they do everything possible to make each wedding day special. I highly recommend the Sanctuary on Penn for any couple looking for that special venue to make their day the way they have always dreamed it would be.
