William Penn Inn

The William Penn Inn has operated continuously in Gwynedd, Pennsylvania since 1714, making it one of the longest-running country inns in the state. The historic property, framed by landscaped grounds and a mature oak-shaded lawn, pairs centuries of hospitality tradition with a full slate of wedding and event spaces. The Carriage Ballroom, with its crystal chandeliers, marble fireplace, and mahogany bar, accommodates up to 250 guests and has long been a favorite for wedding receptions, bar and bat mitzvahs, and corporate galas. The smaller Surrey Ballroom, known for its bow windows and brass appointments, hosts up to 120 guests for weddings and celebrations of a more intimate scale. Couples planning smaller gatherings can choose among the Commonwealth Club, Penn's Tavern, and Hunt Room, which together suit parties of 10 to 45. Outdoor ceremonies take place in Penn's Garden, where an 80-foot aisle leads to a wrought-iron gazebo beneath a mature oak tree, accommodating up to 250 guests. The inn also operates its own in-house bakery, Mrs. Penn's Bakery, for custom wedding cakes, and provides full catering and dedicated event coordination for weddings and special occasions.
