Glasbern Reviews

Bradley and I got married on Christmas Eve at the Glasbern Inn! The venue was the perfect fit for our cozy Christmas wedding. I stayed in their Garden Cottage the day before the wedding. It has beautiful stone fireplaces, which was perfect for relaxing and getting ready. Our coordinator, Megan, was very detail-oriented and accommodating. She made the wedding such an easy process for us. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful the day of our wedding. They put together our dream wedding with every detail that we envisioned. We are extremely happy we chose the Glasbern Inn as our venue.

The bottom line is that I don’t think we could’ve chosen a better venue for our wedding. We visited for a tour in March of 2022 and fell in love, despite not being able to see it during the fall. It had everything we wanted: beautiful grounds, convenient accommodation, amazing food, and the versatility to tailor it all to what we wanted for ourselves and our guests.

We’d already loved what we were getting with Glasbern, but I think we were most surprised and impressed with the attention and care we received throughout our stay. We were lucky enough to be able to spend 2 days before the wedding and really experience the place without the whirlwind of planned wedding activities. The Garden Cottage was even better than we’d hoped – it was private, beautiful and so comfortable. We treated ourselves to a couples massage at the spa, which was a great move with how quickly the pace quickened afterwards. We hosted our rehearsal dinner in the Grainery, and the food, drinks, and atmosphere were perfect.

Megan had been our point-of-contact for months, and I can’t thank her enough for her seemingly unending patience for my many MANY emails and questions. Hazel was our event manager starting with the rehearsal, and she was on top of everything. Even a day before the wedding, there were things we hadn’t considered, and she handled them all! We went over our mountain of bins and decoration and favors, and she was able to turn my vague direction into something magical. On the day of the wedding, I met Morgan who was everywhere I needed her to be ALL DAY. She had an uncanny knack for popping up out of nowhere, often immediately before I needed her. I had spent 1.5 years worrying about every little thing, and all that anxiety melted away, thanks to these ladies!

All the staff we encountered were wonderful and so friendly. It really felt like everyone just wanted us to have a worry-free great time, and I think we all did. I’ve heard nothing but praise from our family and friends.

For the weeks leading up to our wedding day, the weather forecast showed rain for our wedding day. During the 2 days we stayed beforehand, the weather was gorgeous, so we walked the grounds to soak in how beautiful it was, knowing we weren’t going to be so lucky for our special day. On the morning of the wedding, Morgan stopped by with white umbrellas (another really lovely touch by Glasbern). While I’m sure we still would’ve had amazing photo opportunities in rain, we didn’t have to find out because everything cleared up right before we were ready for photos. Everywhere you looked was just beautiful. We haven’t received our photos from the photographer yet, but I can’t wait to see them.

I am certain that I’m forgetting details and personal touches because there were so many, but we were both so impressed with how smoothly things went and how beautiful everything was. No wedding is going to be cheap, but we felt like our money was well spent for how perfect everything was. Thank you Glasbern!

My husband and I had our wedding here in June, and everything was perfect! Kelsey, Morgan, and the whole Glasbern staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious!! Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue, rooms, and how great the food was, and our vendors appreciated how kind and welcoming the Glasbern staff was. It was truly a fairytale wedding with the perfect indoor and outdoor setup!

We cannot say enough great things about Glasbern's location, ambience and the staff! We changed venues two weeks prior to our event in January 2021, and Glasbern's staff made this process seamless.
We would not have been able to pull this event off with such detail in our time constraints if it were not for the help of Joanna, Director of Events. Joanna was able to answer every question that we had and was always one step ahead of us to make sure we had everything accounted for and that no detail was missed. She made the day the most memorable, and we would recommend the Glasbern to any couple that is looking for a venue.
If you are looking for a rustic venue that has character, look no further. The food is amazing, breakfast is included the next day, and we would give the Glasbern more than five stars, if possible!

After rescheduling our daughter’s April 25, 2020 wedding date and dealing with so many disappointments, the big day finally happened on Friday, July 31. The Glasbern is a hidden jewel not only for the breathtaking grounds, but for the fabulous food, first-class hospitality, top-notch staff, and beautiful accommodations. Our celebration started with the rehearsal dinner in the Glasloft with a great menu and our terrific server, Courtney. The ceremony and reception could not have been more perfect with every staff member tending to the needs of our guests. The wonderfully delicious cuisine again was executed by Chef Patrick and assistants, Thomas, and Sean. A big shout out to the awesome servers Mayson, Sariyah, Sophia, and Courtney and to the friendly and accommodating bartenders, Chris and Russ.

A very, very special thanks to Amber and Brandy. These two were hands on every step of the way; extremely responsive whether by phone, email, or text and both were easily accessible from the moment we stepped on the grounds to the moment we left. Everything was perfectly orchestrated, every detail meticulously tended to. Each member of the staff, from groundskeeper to innkeeper, is well versed in hospitality. We never heard anyone say “no, we can’t do that”. We were so happy our daughter and son-in-law chose this beautiful place and would strongly encourage everyone to consider the Glasbern for their special day or any special event. It was such a remarkable experience.

Glasbern saved my wedding! My original venue cancelled on us 2 weeks prior to our wedding. My makeup artist recommended that I reach out to Amber at Glasbern. Amber jumped in and saved the day. I was so grateful that I was able to have my micro wedding at a beautiful location, and Amber made sure my day ran smoothly. She literally took care of all the details for me. In the end, I am so happy that things worked out the way they did, and I could not have been happier with my experience and how accommodating and helpful Amber and Glasbern was!

We just held our October wedding at the Glasbern Inn, and EVERYONE complimented us on the venue. Everything was perfect, from the setting to the food. In fact, the food was highly regarded as "some of the best food ever at a wedding." Many family members stayed at the Inn, and they were great at making sure we had a room block set up and making the process transparent. There was also a complimentary sit down breakfast included with the rooms, which was a very nice touch.

The staff really went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Amanda, the event coordinator, was great! We really enjoyed working with her. We had an amazing time, and we can't wait to come back and enjoy a romantic weekend in the future!

I'm getting married on October 15, 2016. I live in NJ and everything is MAD expensive in my state (especially when you want an October wedding on a Saturday evening), so it was wonderful to find everything I was looking for at a much more reasonable price just by crossing a bit over the PA border. This place is so unbelievable lovely! I've been working with Kathleen, and she's been nothing short of fantastic. She's incredibly responsive and helpful, plus she gives great advice (she's also been very patient even when dealing with my crazy parents). Definitely check this place out whether you're looking for something intimate or huge, or if you're just passing through the area and need a charming place to stay.

My wedding on July 1, 2015 was beautiful. The staff was just wonderful, especially Erica. She was just amazing, she was there the whole time making sure everything went perfect. When things got off track (nothing that was caused or due to the Glasbern) she sprung in to action and straightened it out. We can't thank her enough! The food was great , not like typical wedding food at all. The service was quick and responsive to my guests needs. Our wedding was great ! We are so glad we choose the Glasbern.

This is the perfect place to have your wedding. From the planning process to the actual wedding day, everything went perfectly. Carrie S. is the wedding coordinator, and let me tell you, we couldn't have asked for a better person to assist us through the process. Carrie is extremely friendly, organized, and professional. We planned our wedding for close to two years, and she was with us every step of the way. She ensured that all of our guests were satisfied, all of our details were followed through, and always answered questions promptly and thoroughly. She even gave us her cell phone and called/texted us on her day off. On the day of the wedding, she made us feel at ease, and ensured that everything went according to plan. Carrie will probably own this place one day, because she's just that good. It's rare to find someone in the service industry that is this accommodating.

Our reception was a blast. The food at Glasbern is top notch. The hors d'oeuvr were all perfectly cooked, and came out hot when they were supposed to be. The scallops were especially phenomenal, and people couldn't get enough of them. They had two bartenders were who really friendly and quick with drinks. One of my groomsmen got to know them on a first name basis. The dinner itself was delicious; all filets were perfectly cooked and tender, and the chicken had a sauce that everyone raved about. You never get the feeling like anything is mass-produced or that it tastes like "wedding food." No ice cream scooped mashed potatoes, salty brown gravy, or canned/frozen vegetables. The food is fresh, local, and well crafted.

Glasbern staff make you feel like you're at home and will go out of their way to do so, often without you even asking. Amazing.

Glasbern is an amazingly beautiful setting for a wedding. But even more amazing is the quality and kindness of every single person who works there. We basically took over the Inn for the weekend of our wedding, and every staff member I encountered the entire weekend knocked my socks off, from the waitstaff to the people cleaning our room, they are all amazing. I am forever grateful to the manager, Terry, who coordinated all of the details of the entire weekend PERFECTLY (including repeatedly re-bustling my dress when she noticed it kept falling during my reception--sometimes I didn't even notice her under my dress until she had re-bustled it!) The food was superb, my husband got a massage which was "the best of his life" and many of my guests are still raving about the weekend. This place and its people are spectacular.

After having a few issues with the prior coordinator who ended up leaving while I was working with her, I couldn't have been more relieved when Kathleen stepped in. From the very start she was extremely responsive and on top of all the planning. She was able to answer all of my questions and give her own option on things when needed (which I truly appreciated, compared to other vendors saying "do whatever you want," Kathleen was more than willing to give her opinion which was great being that I never planned a wedding before so how am I suppose to know what looks good and works well?!). On the weekend of our wedding the Glasbern and Kathleen made sure everything was going as smooth as possible for us. With services to the bridal suite and driving me around on a golf cart so I didn't have to walk in my dress, my day-of wasn't nearly as hectic as one would think. The Lodge looked better than we could have ever asked. From setting the cocktail room up exactly how I imagined, to adding a blue table clothes with lace over it for our sweetheart table, it made it look that much nicer! The food was delicious, although we were a little disappointed there were so scallops hordourvs even though we had chosen them as an option, everything else made up for it in the end. Kathleen stayed throughout the evening and continually checked in to make sure all went well. It truly was our dream come true wedding and we couldn't have done it without Kathleen and the staff at the Glasbern. We both wish we could do it over again! I would highly recommend the Glasbern to anyone for the wedding. You can't beat the beautiful scenery and great lodge for both ceremony and reception.

We cannot say enough about the Glasbern Inn as a wedding site. My wife and I are from the Philly area, but chose Glasbern because we had a few really great weekends here over the last few years. The setting is not far from Philly, but felt a bit like a destination wedding for us. When we learned Glasbern had built a new hall for events, we jumped immediately! The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, secluded and great for ambiance and wedding photos. The new barn has an elegant (but not stuffy), rustic feel and an open, lively energy about it. We did both the ceremony and the reception at Glasbern. We had enough people attending that we filled almost all of the rooms, and so pretty much had the place reserved for the weekend. It was fantastic to be in one place surrounded by all of our friends and family. Since we had most of the rooms filled, we had access to one of the buildings for an awesome after party right there on site, which kept the energy going until well after the wedding was over. The staff at Glasbern could not have been more responsive and helpful. Our main contact was Carrie, who did an outstanding job of making sure everything went as planned, and was a pleasure to work with. Everyone else was also really pleasant and responsive. It seems no request was too much. For instance, we asked for sandwiches on the afternoon of the wedding and had them right away. Someone even joked they needed a ride up to the barn in a tractor and the staff was willing to make it happen! Finally, the food was terrific! Our guests were just as impressed—everyone raved about the place during and after the wedding. We would highly recommend Glasbern Inn.

We looked at almost 100 venues before finding Glasbern. As we drove onto the property, it already felt comfortable. Walker gave us a tour and really helped us in feeling at home on the property. We quickly came to decide that Glasbern was the right venue for us. We loved that you could have almost the entire property to ourselves. We had both our rehearsal dinner and reception on site. All of our guests were in awe, and kept telling us they were coming back for another stay. It truly felt like our own world.

In reading other reviews, I realized my small issues were the same as a lot of others. At the beginning it was difficult to secure enough sleeping rooms for our rehearsal dinner night, even though we were the first wedding for that weekend to book. There seems to be a high turnover rate for wedding coordinators. About 6 weeks before our wedding our coordinator switched to Amber. We went to meet with her and couldn’t have been happier. Amber is a sweetheart. She was super responsive to our outstanding questions and helping with the final details. On our day, she was everywhere! Our relatives that needed assistance were taken care of, and any time I needed something she was easy to find. In 6 weeks Amber became family!

Our meals were amazing, and the rest of the staff – well, I can’t even begin to write a review that covers them all. We had a lot of the same staff with us all weekend, and everyone knew each other. Walker, Dan, Kristy & Jamal were phenomenal! My husband and I truly felt like Glasbern went above and beyond for us. We think the weekend was just as romantic for our guests as it was for us.

The moment that my husband and I stepped foot on the property, we felt we had found a special oasis. The grounds are simply gorgeous, with many hidden nooks to explore. You feel a million miles away from real life; and can simply relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. We were looking for a romantic setting with a slightly rustic charm, and definitely found it here. Glasbern is quite opposite from the ‘wedding factory’ spaces that are far too common in the tri-state area. It is a rare find for weddings – relatively affordable, unique and beautiful. They let you personalize every aspect; you have the opportunity to rent space for an after party, and all of your guests can stay on site, eliminating the need to spend extra money on shuttles.
For our wedding, the planning was a little tumultuous as the events director resigned halfway through the year, and Glasbern’s communication with us about this could have been improved. However, the new Events Director, Amber, was wonderful. I had a very specific vision of what my wedding day would look like - -from the food, food presentation, decorations, timeline, expectations, etc -- and really pushed Glasbern to their limits of what they were able to accommodate. The day was absolutely perfect and the staff truly bent over backwards to make sure my husband and I were happy. All of our guests had a magical experience, and loved staying in the rooms with the Jacuzzis and fire places. It was a great escape from NYC for all.

While the Glasbern may be expensive, it is well worth the money you spend. Their wedding coordinator is on top of her game, and she knows exactly what needs to be done to make your wedding day perfect. You do not need to worry about anything other than your other vendors and keeping track of your guest count. Their property is beautiful, and as long as the weather his nice, your photos will be beautiful no matter where they are taken. The food was outstanding, they had a good beer selection, and their staff was timely. Our guests were all very happy with the food and beverage services.

The Glasbern is an absolutely amazing and unique venue. We were looking for a large B&B outdoor wedding site so we could have all of our out of town guests staying on site. This was the first place that we had checked out and fell in love. The ceremony site is beautiful and the reception area is well layed out. We ate at the restaurant several times and the food was delicious, although the banquet food wasn't as delicious as what we had at the restaurant but still well above average. Despite a couple glitches with communication in the beginning, the day went extremely smoothly thanks to Terry and everyone can't stop talking about how special the venue was. All my guests kept asking how I could have possibly found this place and many plan to return for vacation!

We got married at the Glasbern Inn on September 18, 2010. I came across it looking for an outdoor, natural place. We also were drawn to them because they are a sustainable farm and serve local food.

The coordinators we worked with were helpful but sometimes unreliable and not responsive. Regardless of that fact, when everything mattered our wedding was AMAZING! The place is absolutely gorgeous and the staff was wonderful. We had the most perfect day we could have imagined. For the cost, it is beyond worth it - plus, you actually get delicious food from right on the property!

It's truly a magical place...my new husband and I got married on 9.26.15 and everything was wonderful! We lucked out with incredible weather - a plus at such a beautiful outdoor venue. We first chose the Glasbern for their attention to local/organic food, and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious and everybody is so incredibly nice there!

We worked with Carrie first and then Erica. Erica is awesome - she's so SWEET and that girl works her tail off! I am a planner so I had a lot of detailed questions and she answered every one of them, and almost always the answers were the ones I wanted to hear. Whenever we wanted to make a small change or addition she made it happen, which I think is really what you want from your venue - flexibility! She set us up a meeting with the chef which was awesome so we were able to customize a few aspects of our food. We picked the horderves we wanted and some of the stations we had for cocktail hour. Everyone loved it! On our wedding day, Erica was there to help with whatever we needed and everything ran super smoothly.

The rooms are beautiful and rustic. There are a few quirks here and there that we heard, someone's tub jets were going on all night, there were issues with the hot/cold water temperatures. I'm sure they'll be fixing these issues soon though, because they seem to have a lot of people working around the grounds to make it look and function awesomely.
Some tips:
-I think the stables suites #36 is the best room there
-It may seem at times that it's hard to get the attention you need in the months leading up to your wedding. But, I found that it's best to be proactive and know that they really do their best to make all of your little requests come true. If you envision something unique for your day, it will most definitely become a reality. So just know that! And know that they do a lot of weddings and when your time comes they go out of their way for you!
-We loved renting out the whole place!

We loved the Glasbern. We only had our reception here and our guests had a fantastic time. It is a month later and we are still hearing comments about the food (we did the filet and the salmon - amazing). The Glasbern is a very beautiful place. We live in the area and still felt like we had a destination wedding! You get what you pay for - the service is outstanding, the food is top-notch and the venue is truly unique. Def consider Glasbern for your wedding!

We recently had a beautiful fall wedding at The Glasbern Inn. The location, venue, and food itself make this an amazing place to have a wedding. Our wedding was initially coordinated by Carrie, however after leaving midway through the wedding planning, Erica became our wedding coordinator. Erica was amazing the day of the wedding, always thinking of us, ensuring things were where they were supposed to be, and making sure it was a successful night. There were several mishaps, such as not having premium alcohol out despite paying for it, and the slideshow not playing, but Erica quickly redirected and fixed them immediately. All of the guest rooms were beautiful, and I can't say enough good words about our suite in the "Farmhouse." I did notice that there were several inconsistencies for our guests staying at the venue, such as charging them extra when checking in, trying to charge them additional fees, and upgrading some guests but not others. However, the included breakfast was the best I've ever had, guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was, and we can't wait to visit again for our anniversary.

The grounds and facilities of the Glasbern Inn are beautiful and well-maintained. Unfortunately, it rained torrents on our wedding day, so ended up squishing 135 people into a steamy meeting room. Very cozy for August! The planners are there to oversee the entire event from start to finish on the day of your wedding: Gary was so easy to work with; Terry, while a bit salty at times during the planning stages, was worth her wait in gold on the wedding day. She was great and was very attentive. The best part was that our friends and family could all stay at the inn and continue the celebration into the night without disturbing anyone, and then we all had breakfast the next day as part of the room rate. The Gasbern is a wonderful place to hold an outdoor wedding in spring/summer or a smaller indoor wedding in winter.

The ceremony and reception spaces are great, with beautiful surrounding scenery, especially for a wedding with a rustic or country vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. Between when I signed the contract and the time of my wedding, the wedding coordinator transitioned to a new person, which led to a few small miscommunication instances and some confusion, but overall, both wedding cooridinators that I worked with, Carrie and Erica, were wonderful. The day of my wedding went so smoothly (from the set up all the way to the end of the night) and I didn't have to worry about a thing, even when 2 unexpected guests showed up and we needed to add spots and meals for them at the reception, Erica took care of it right away. We also stayed there that evening which was so lovely.

The Glasbern is incredibly beautiful and was really the center of our wedding weekend - we had our rehearsal dinner, reception and a

We looked at Glasbern and the facilities and rooms are breathtaking. There are also beautiful outdoor spaces for the ceremony. The main reception space was a little too large for the size wedding we're planning and the smaller space wasn't for us. Definitely a great option for a larger event.
