A perfect day at Philander Chase Knox Estate

We had an incredible experience working with Robert Ryan Catering at their Philander Chase Knox Estate venue! They made our rainy wedding day a perfect one. The team was incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning process, and totally on top of everything during the big day. The food was outstanding (we had the best time at our tasting), and the whole staff was fantastic and helpful. We had the best day ever!

Magical Wedding!

On July 24, 2021 we were finally able to hold the wedding celebration my daughter and son-in-law had dreamed about since April 2019. Philander Chase Knox Estate, Robert Ryan's romantically scenic venue was the setting for a most magical night. Expertly led by our Day-of-Coordinator, Marjorie, and assisted by Day-of-Coordinator Trainee, Jalissa, and a team of servers, the entire celebration ran smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Marjorie's calm and efficient manner allowed us to enjoy the day from beginning to end. Both she and Jalissa were attentive, but unobtrusive. They were patient, fun, and so sweet! The servers, bartenders, and valets were pleasant and attended to anything our guests might need. The food was delicious, plentiful, and beautifully presented by the talented chef and assistants. Compliments from our guests abounded! Special thanks to Leah, our first contact at PCK and our dedicated guide throughout the planning of our wedding and reception, which included two postponements and a small family wedding at the venue in August 2020. She was always kind, professional, responsive and handled our requests with ease. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we met her! Many thanks to the entire team for a most memorable wedding celebration. We are truly grateful!

I've photographed weddings at a few Robert Ryan venues and have always been impressed with the friendly, helpful staff as well as the beautiful locations and amazing food. As a recent bride myself, I have to say I was really impressed with their willingness to work with my daughter's celiac dietary restrictions.

Alexandria Catherine Events Alexandria Catherine Events Wedding Planners

I've had the pleasure of working with the Robert Ryan Catering team on many occasions, and they do a great job every time. Their team works hard and is well-trained, their management is flawless and their menus are mouth-watering. As a vendor, you'd be lucky to work with them and as a client you'd be lucky to have them.
