A Completely Perfect Day

What can't I say about this place! Firstly, we had a wonderful planning experience, we felt completely taken care of and listened to. All of our questions were answered, all our thoughts were honored. And all our dreams and ideas came to life to create an absolutely perfect wedding day and experience! This venue has some seriously wonderful staff, shoutouts to Shana, Leslie, Maki, and Reegan. It also has a lot of its own elegance and beauty and doesn't even need much dressing up or decoration! It truly is an all-inclusive venue that thinks of everything needed to create amazing events day after day. Some highlights that would make us recommend this to anyone are its historic charm, its hidden bar room, its attached inn (and gorgeous rooms), and genuinely the most gorgeous chandelier that makes for the absolute best photos!!

The Venue of my dreams

grew up down the street from Glen Sanders and it is so special that I now get to say that I also got married there. This venue provides the ideal guest experience as it feels like your own private mansion for the day. The bridal suite and man cave are the perfect setting to get ready for your big day and the rest of the mansion is full of neutral colors and bright light. Guests are able to stay on site at the inn and so could we and this was a huge plus. The staircase and chandelier are something out of a fairytale. Glen Sanders provided top notch service and does their best to take the stress off your shoulders leading up to the big day and day of. They are a well oiled machine. Maki was my amazing bridal attendant and she somehow was able to anticipate my needs before I even was. Shana was also a joy to work with and always very prompt with her responses and answering my many questions. Leslie was our event manager day off and she had everything under control. The food was yummy, especially all the appetizers and so helpful that the staff give you plenty of options for the bride and groom to ensure you actually eat your wedding food. Also, I wish Mazzone had a bakery that we could purchase cakes from any day because our vanilla and strawberry preserves wedding cake was delectable! The staff day of was attentive and friendly. I would recommend Glen Sanders Mansion 10/10 for anyone looking for a venue. I just wish that the restaurant from many years ago was open so we could visit on our anniversary. Maybe something to consider in the future

The Best Venue

The team at Glen Sanders were amazing from start to finish. From the first tour we had we knew it was the place we wanted to book. During the planning stages, the team was quick to respond to any questions or comments we had and were helpful when it came down to advising on their experiences with vendors when we have a hard time narrowing down. They were very collaborative with food and design choices and gave amazing input to our ideas to take them to the next level.

Our wedding day itself went so smoothly and not a single thing was out of place or veered away from what plans we had set. The entire staff waited on us and out guests hand and foot and everything came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. While we were getting ready, they assisted all of the vendors allowing us to have a calm/no stress morning. Our bridal attendant, Maki, was top notch and literally took care of everything for myself, my husband and our bridal party. If we needed a tissue, she had it already in her hand. If we were low on a drink, before we could think to ask, she was right there with a fresh one.

We have still been receiving rave reviews on the food and experience from our guests. We could not be happier!

A huge thank you to the entire staff at Glen Sanders and especially to Shana, Eliyana and Maki for making our day so special and fun!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
