Wedding Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception

Our experience with this venue was just absolutely amazing! Elizabeth was truly the BEST! I can’t imagine our wedding weekend being spent at any other venue. We had our rehearsal dinner with a band Friday night in the Barn - turned into sleep over for the Bridesmaids in the Log Cabin/White House - followed by the best wedding day ever! Our Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception were all held there. Highly recommend!

To anyone who is thinking of having your wedding at The GlenLary Estate, you have found the absolute fairy tale venue. I am not a "mushy" person, but my wedding was MAGICAL. And it was because of the event coordinator, Elizabeth, and her family for opening there home to us! She went above and beyond to help with anything we needed, and to make sure our day was perfect. You become a part of the GlenLary family when you work with them:)

The farm is breathtaking! It literally reminds me of Tara from "gone with the wind."

The absolute BEST place to get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GlenLary Estate is absolutely enchanting. We originally had another venue that fell through, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. GlenLary Estate is the perfect combination of Southern charm and elegance. The homes on the property are as fabulous as the landscape. We were lucky enough to have our family stay on the estate for the weekend. Having everyone together was wonderful and we were able to enjoy more time together before the big day.
Elizabeth was amazing and a huge help during this special time in our lives. She went above and beyond to welcome us at GlenLary, and made us feel like we were part of the family.
Our wedding was the perfect day in the perfect place. Thank you GlenLary and Elizabeth for making everything possible.
This estate is truly magical.

The Carmichael home has nothing on The GlenLary Estate!

When you drive up to the beautiful white picket fence gates, you are drawn in to the warmth and charm of the Estate. Elizabeth is the sweetest ray of sunshine. She is not only professional, knowledgeable and helpful, but what a great way to plan a wedding but with a family member who also had her wedding at the venue (who knew)!

Thank you Elizabeth and GlenLary for providing me a magical night, wedding to remember forever at the perfect southern venue!

GlenLary is magical! My wedding was perfect! Held on the most beautiful grounds you have ever seen, with an amazing house and horses in the background. Elizabeth is so sweet and helpful. The vendors she suggested I use were wonderful. My friends and family are still commenting on how beautiful the estate and the wedding was. Thank you Elizabeth and GlenLary! You made my dream wedding a reality!

This place was the perfect backdrop to my fairytale! Absolutely amazing! The grounds are beautiful and I've heard that they have made improvements since my event (not sure how that is possible though).

As far as the staff, I truly believe that Elizabeth is my fairy godmother--I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is totally on the ball and was a pleasure to work with through the planning process. I would recommend GlenLary to anyone that is looking for a romantic setting for their big day!

GlenLary is straight out of a magazine, or better yet, your favorite Matthew McConaughey romcom. All Southern and romantic and real pretty to look at. I can't believe my luck in finding this place! I thought I'd died and gone to storybook heaven. You will too. The drive up to the house is just the first of many dramatic scenes that will have your guests pinching each other. "Is this a dream?"

Elizabeth is a doll. She worked with me and the vendors to make sure my wedding was the best day of my life. I found her detailed, creative, and totally committed to my happiness. What else can you ask for on a day when everything goes so fast and there are a million little details you never even thought of?? Let's just say you'll be glad you have her on your side. According to my wedding party, she quickly found solutions for any issues that came up. And most importantly she did so without me ever knowing there had been a problem. Need I say more? #Bride's best friend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
