    Exceeded Expectations!

    I have an 85-year old mother who couldn't travel so I was unable to have my dream wedding on a beach in the Bahamas but Padonia provided the next best possible alternative with their Lakeside Gazebo and it was an amazing venue! I live in Texas and had to do most of the planning for the wedding and reception virtually but in every interaction, the Padonia team gave me confidence that what I envisioned for my wedding would be executed, and they delivered! They listened to what was most important to me but they also shared the learnings from their experience with what worked and what didn't so that I could make the best choices for my wedding. My ~100 guests had to moved from a parking lot to the Lakeside Gazebo and from there to the indoor ballroom for the reception, and the Padonia team made sure all of the logistics went off without a hitch. The food and drink were excellent but even more important to me, every single Padonia staff was service-focused and created an amazing experience for my guests. A special shout out to Tyler who executed the day-of events!

    Perfect Location for a Vow renewal

    My husband and I attended a wedding here last spring and it was beautiful. Since we never had a wedding of our own, we decided to plan our vow renewal here next year. It’s perfectly located for all of our family and friends.

    Highly recommend

    My husband and I attended a wedding here 2 years ago and were very impressed with every aspect of the event. I just wanted to write a review from a guest's perspective! The food is excellent, service is attentive and the grounds are lovely. The location is convenient for guests traveling from Baltimore, DC, and PA.

    We had our wedding here 6/23/18. I cannot say enough about the venue, the food and our coordinator Lauren. From our very first meeting, until the end of our wedding everything was above and beyond all of our dreams. Appetizers to the entrées were very very delicious. We received so many compliments on everything.

    Awesome Experience

    I enjoyed touring the padonia park club. The venue had a beautiful outdoor ceremony area with plenty of space. They also had a lake that would be perfect for bridal pictures. The reception room had a flawless paint job with an indoor bar built in. I would definitely recommend this venue.

    Great Wedding Venue!

    Sarah and the team at Padonia Park Club did an amazing job planning, arranging and executing the ceremony and reception. Everything was smooth from the beginning and the communication was great leading up to the wedding and during the rehearsal/wedding day. The ceremony by the lake was beautiful and the lakeside ballroom was an wonderful spot for the reception. The service on the day of the wedding went above and beyond. The food was outstanding, the guests loved the appetizers and the dinner was delicious. The team really helped make our wedding day special. Thanks!

    Padonia Park Club's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jason! We're so glad you and your guests enjoyed. It was a beautiful day! We wish you and Anya a wonderful life together!

    Sarah is the queen!

    I am at a loss of words to describe how amazing Sarah has been to work with. From the beginning till the day of, she has been super flexible, understanding and everything you would want in your wedding coordinator.
    She guided us throughout the process and helped us with each and every step. On the day of, she took care of literally everything and I did not have to think once about any coordination or about any arrangements. We are super happy and lucky to share our most memorable day with Padonia staff!

    Padonia Park Club's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Prachi! We loved having you and your guests - even with the heat! We wish you and Chris the best in your new life together.

    Padonia Park Club was the first, and best, venue we found!! It was beautiful, even when we moved our ceremony to the pavilion in the rain, and the food was wonderful! Lauren and team were so nice and helpful in the planning process. It's super helpful that they provide all the linens, in a variety of colors, and everything you would need for a centerpiece (although we only used their mirrors). Our wedding was fabulous and fun, all with the help of Padonia Park Club!

    I had my wedding reception in Padonia Park Club’s Lakeside Ballroom on June 30, 2018. From start to finish, the coordinators were so helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to make the day exactly how I wanted it. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the room exactly what I needed. My guests were so impressed with this hidden gem of a wedding venue, I cannot recommend them enough.

    Lauren Dise and the Padonia Park staff were absolutely fantastic to work with!! The ballroom was spacious, elegantly decorated, and allowed us to add our personal touch to the decor. The reception packages were well constructed to be affordable, yet tasty and elegant. Our guests all raved about their meals, the hor d'oeuvres, and the butlered service. They serve food to the bride and groom first, which allowed us to actually eat on our wedding day. ;) The park provides tables, chairs, chair covers, and table linens, napkins, and practically everything else needed for a reception in a variety of colors to match your wedding vision (other venues may require you to provide these things, which can get expensive). You don't have to be a member of the club to reserve the ballroom for your event, and they don't charge for things like cake-cutting. Lauren took the time to meet with us personally to carefully plan out the event details and answer all of our questions. She is a great communicator, both in person and over email. All-in-all, my wife and I were able to go into our wedding day without having to stress about the reception because of Lauren's efforts. We could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the celebration for all that it was. We love Padonia Park Club, and we highly recommend it to everyone looking to plan their wedding!!! Thank you, Lauren and staff!! :)

    The entire staff was smiling and polite making the evening even more enjoyable for everyone. The food was very tasty and served quickly. The event manager, Lauren, was on top of everything, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. She seemed to always be happy, solving the few small hiccups (the weather and whatnot) quickly and with a smile.

    Working with Lauren at Padonia Park Club was a fantastic experience. She was friendly and could not have been easier to work with. She made sure I had nothing to worry about in terms of the venue and food. The venue was perfect for the size of our party and I loved the unique look of the room with the vaulted ceiling above the dance floor. The ability to choose the color of the lights in the room and in the foyer helped add to the atmosphere. Everyone was raving about the food. I could not be more pleased that we chose Padonia Park Club as our venue.

    The best choice! We booked Padonia Park Club as our venue 2 years in advance for our wedding. The day we went to visit was overcast and rainy, yet the site was so pretty. On the beautiful day of our wedding it was even more gorgeous. Lauren and the team went above and beyond and everything was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing, set up was so pretty and Lauren instantly felt like a friend to us and coordinated the day flawlessly. If anything went wrong, I had no idea. I will recommend Padonia Park again and again!

    My husband and I are so glad we picked Padonia Park Club for our wedding. With Lauren's help, our wedding reception was everything we had hoped it could be. Lauren helped us at every part of the planning process, from logistical concerns to simply helping brainstorm ideas. They were very flexible when it came to several emergency last minute changes to our guest list, and really went above and beyond when it came to special traditions (our Pittsburgh cookie table), our DIY centerpieces, and our lightsaber exit.

    The food was excellent. We chose a steak and chicken option, which all of our guests enjoyed. The vegetarian option was chef's choice, and our vegetarian family members couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Lauren also stayed with us on our big day, and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed in order to enjoy our party!

    If you are looking for a wedding venue, I highly recommend that you contact Padonia Park Club and set up a visit.

    I can not recommend this place highly enough, I truly tell every person I meet about how wonderful it was. Matt and Megan were both a complete joy to work with and made the whole process a thousand times easier and were genuinely interested in making sure I had the wedding I wanted. We stumbled across it on here, on a fluke because all of the venues I could find were far too expensive. When we first arrived, I got out of the car and told my (then) fiance that this is where we were getting married, before we even met Matt or saw the inside of the ballroom. The view at the lake is spectacular and makes for beautiful pictures and a grand entrance that we took full advantage of. The ballroom is also stunning with plenty of room for both a seated dinner and cocktail tables and an outdoor balcony. The worrier I am, I sent probably hundreds of e-mails back and forth while we were planning and everyone was amazing at responding quickly and helping me make the best choices for our ceremony/ reception. The day of the wedding, Megan was such a joy. I can't speak highly enough of her. She is a coordinating genius. Helped us smooth over some snafus with people running late and made any issues disappear before I even noticed them. After the ceremony, she was already waiting in the bridal suite asking if we needed drinks or food and was very prompt in filling any requests. The food they provided was amazing, I'm still hearing about how great the crab cakes and the appetizers were. The night after the wedding, we were already discussing how if we had another large party or gathering, we would go back there in a heartbeat. I truly wish I had an excuse to use their services again because of how easy and wonderful they were to work with. We had a very "offbeat" wedding and the night was very fluid with few stops for traditional activities and everyone took it in stride in such a way that none of the guests realized we didn't toss the garter or cut the cake. They earned 100/100 from us

    We honestly could not have been happier with our wedding at Padonia Park Club. Event manager, Lauren was AMAZING, super organized and our wedding went off without any issues! The grounds are beautiful and worked out well for all of our pictures. We got married at the gazebo and then went up to the ballroom for our reception which worked out extremely well. I highly recommend Padonia Park Club for your wedding!!

    As the parents of the bride, we cannot praise the staff at Padonia Park Club enough for creating a wedding celebration that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we began the whole planning process with Lauren Dise, the dedicated and talented event coordinator, to the magnificent wedding day, no question was too large or small, no request not considered graciously and promptly, and no detail overlooked. Lauren made the entire process run flawlessly and did it all with a smile. Lauren was also terrific with all of our vendors, who personally remarked to us what a pleasure it was to work with her. We can't praise Lauren enough for her expertise and guidance and all her behind the scenes work which resulted in a spectacular and STRESS FREE wedding day! From appetizers to entrees, the food at Padonia was outstanding - fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious, even better than what we had sampled. A lakeside gazebo allowed for truly gorgeous wedding party photos, and the outside pavilion and ballroom were perfect for the outdoor ceremony, cocktail reception, then dinner and dancing. Our guests remarked over and over what a truly fantastic wedding celebration we had - Padonia Park is a gem. Value, class, professionalism, quality... all delivered with heart.

    We had our wedding in July and Padonia was the perfect place to host our wedding. The gazebo on the lake made a beautiful place for us to have our ceremony and gather family for pictures. We went to Lauren with an idea on how we wanted to set up the ballroom for the reception and the end result was more than we could have expected. The food was absolutely delicious! Our guest have not stopped praising the food, venue, and the whole night which is a true testament to how great Lauren and the Padonia staff were.

    Lauren was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond what we wanted and needed. Lauren responded quickly to all my emails and was very flexible in meeting with us for planning when we were in town since we were from out of town. She made sure everything we asked for happened without a hitch. Lauren was also great with my family whose own enthusiasm may have gotten carried away! We couldn’t have asked for anything more or imagined anything better than the day we had at Padonia for our wedding! Thank you so much Lauren and Padonia!
