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

They made wedding planning seamless!

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Glen Sanders on 10/13/23. One of the features of this venue that secured our decision, was the convenience factor. We had approximately 210 guests attend and being able to get ready in the bridal suites and man cave, host the ceremony, reception/cocktail hour, afterparty AND accommodate lodging for our bridal parties + families (17 people), made things much more streamlined. In addition, since Mazzone owns the venue, having them cater the food allowed us to “bundle” the costs of food, alcohol and venue. This is a beautiful venue as well. They took measures to make sure their landscaping and outward/inward appearance were perfect, prior to the wedding.
Preparations- once we had chosen Glen Sanders as our venue, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie R as our sales planner. I can’t convey enough how helpful she was throughout the entire process, prior to the wedding. She helped us choose our menu based on a target per head price and customize it as requested, coordinate and organize all details regarding the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, coordinate with some of our vendors, but most importantly answered every question we had with patience, speed and effectiveness. She was incredibly organized and it helped keep track of the million details at play.
Day of- In addition Glen Sanders provides an event manager, who helps with the setup of all décor, the rehearsal, coordinating background details for event staff, facilitated progression of bridal party on the day of for pics/introductions/processions/etc. We worked with Leslie P, who has a wealth of knowledge about everything Glen Sanders, having worked there for 20+ years. She was thorough, present, patient, pleasant and helpful, with everything the day prior to and the day of the wedding.
Lastly Glen Sanders ALSO provides a day of attendant, we worked with Maki. Maki also has a wealth of knowledge regarding bustling dresses and the inner workings of weddings at Glen Sanders. She served to assist with anything my husband or I needed throughout the day of the wedding. This included bustling my dress as well as fluffing it, holding flowers and my dress during picture changes, getting us food/drinks, and much more. Maki was an absolute sweetheart as well and made things go incredibly smoothly.
Food- coming from an enormous Italian family, it was essential that the food was tasty. We had the 3 stations and 3 hand passed bites- all delicious and replenished throughout cocktail hour. People loved the dinners as well as the cake!
Lodging- we worked with Jennifer for lodging at GSM and she was incredibly helpful. We made so many changes throughout and she was accommodating throughout! In addition, the rooms were reasonably priced and spacious/beautiful/ very clean. They have an awesome breakfast nook to curb the hangover the following morning 😊.

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!

Hidden Gem

This venue is a true hidden gem. It was an absolute DREAM to have our wedding reception here. We are from out-of-state and so we were looking for a venue large enough for our family & one that offered onsite lodging. The rooms at the inn are incredible and feel like a five-star hotel. I absolutely loved being able to have access to the pub after the reception to spend more time with our family & bridal party. Our wedding guests were in complete awe of the entire venue! The team that work here are AMAZING. I personally want to thank Gabriela the event planner at Glen Sanders – you were so incredible & made the process very easy, despite being in a pandemic. You made us feel so special and like we were the only couple you were working with. Thank you to the entire team that helped put on our wedding. I wish I could relive the day over & over. We 100% plan to book an anniversary trip to spend more time in the Inn!

My dream wedding come true

I always knew I wanted to get married at Glen Sanders. When I first toured the venue with Gabrielle I was set, I wanted to have my wedding there. What really sold my husband was that everything is included. Between the food, wedding cake, and open bar, he was sold. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and were able to get married outside. The staff is exceptional and everyone was so kind on our wedding day. I had my own bridal attendant who literally helped me with everything, between bustling my dress, and helping me change my shoes between the ceremony and reception. From the minute I arrived at 6am with all the decorations, everything was taken care of. The bridal party got ready upstairs in the hospitality suite and my suite for the night was right next door which made it easy to store things and go back and forth. We took most photos in my suite and they came out great. My husband and groomsmen all got ready downstairs in the man cave which was located in the basement nowhere near the girls getting ready. Everything was planned and went smoothly. Gabriella was the one who helped us from the start and she was so great to work with always answering any questions we had at any time. We paid extra for the ballroom to have a light backdrop and ceiling swag and it just made the room even more beautiful. Everything about this day and this venue were perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
