Traditions at the Glen was such an amazing setting for my bridal shower, our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Our reception was everything I could have imagined and more. We would not have changed a thing! Everyone there went above and beyond for Jeremy and I, especially Jami, and we are very happy we chose Traditions. Would highly recommend this venue to others!

The staff at Teaditions is amazing! They responded usually within minutes to my ridiculous emails and were willing to work with me to create my dream wedding. When my mother was unexpectedly placed in a wheelchair, the sales manager was willing to meet with me unscheduled and figure out a plan. The banquet manager was on hand through out the night. The food is also superb!!

Traditions at the Glen was the picture perfect wedding venue! Traditions is one of the best in class venues in the entire area. The setting, staff, catering, and facilities were absolutely 5-star and I highly recommend the venue.

Candace and her staff were extremely helpful and guided us throughout the entire planning process. Candace has a unique was of understanding a bride's unique vision of their wedding, and knows exactly how to make it happen. She also has a way of making every situation calm and assuages any stress or challenges. Candace and her staff were with us the entire way, and always available whenever we had questions or needed something. I couldn't have planned my own wedding without their assistance. We had a large wedding, and I was so impressed that everything was taken care of, even the smallest of details.

Our reception was in the large outdoor tent with the scenic stone patio for our cocktail hour. They were able to integrate all of our traditions into the whole event and executed our entire plan flawlessly. I was very particular about my planning and they worked with me to really bring my ideas to life. The catering was delicious and cooked perfectly, and the accommodations were excellent. Our guests are still complimenting our wedding!

I absolutely recommend Traditions at the Glen to any engaged couple. We are thrilled with the high level of service, excellent accommodations, beautiful facilities, and delicious food that made our wedding day perfect.

I planned my entire wedding from Shanghai, and I cannot say how amazing my experience in dealing with Traditions at the Glen was!!! Being that I wasn't even in the same country, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Traditions really knocked my socks off with the level of service that they provided me. They are truly an all-in-one wedding experience with their fabulous level of professionalism and their amazing thoughtful staff members. Even things that I would have never thought of they took care for me, and they did it all so I could have a perfect & fabulous wedding day with my family and friends that was completely worry-free! I've been to a lot of my friends' weddings, and I have to say, my experience with Traditions at the Glen blew everybody else's out of the water. Thanks for making my wedding so memorable & picture perfect - my husband and I can't thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with the best day of our lives!

Thanks to Candace and the entire Traditions at the Glen staff, our wedding reception was truly one of the most spectacular events of our lives. Candace immediately understood the vision we had for the reception we planned underneath the gorgeous outdoor tent Traditions offers as one of their reception venue options. She and her team were able to execute this vision perfectly on the night of our event, and we could not have received more compliments from our guests! The station set-up allowed for people to come and go as they pleased from their tables throughout the course of the 2 hours they were open, and the food was absolutely delicious. The fact that the tent was hot did not prevent people from dancing the night away and Traditions kindly provided large fans for guests to cool off when they needed to. Prior to the reception, our wedding party and photographers were given access to golf carts to take us around the grounds and find the absolute best photography opportunities possible. This made for what I am sure will be amazing photos (the Traditions grounds are GORGEOUS and unbelievably well-kept), but it also made for some wonderful, unique and fun memories with our wedding party on the day of our event! The guests that stayed at Traditions the night of our reception, had nothing but positive things to say about their accommodations. And on a personal level, on the night of our reception, my husband and I came back to a chilled bottle of champagne, a decadent cheese plate and chocolate-covered strawberries, as well as all of our wedding gifts that had been brought up by Traditions staff from the reception. Such an incredibly thoughtful added touch! I would absolutely recommend Traditions at the Glen as the very best wedding venue option in the entire Binghamton area. From the beautiful setting to the impeccable service, it won't disappoint!

I cannot say enough great things about Traditions. They made the whole wedding planning experience extremely enjoyable. The days leading up to the wedding as well as the wedding day were exceptional. They were extremely attentive to my needs and took care of any problem without hesitation. My vision was executed flawlessly and everything looked more amazing then I could have imagined. All the staff was extremely professional and so kind to myself and my guests. I would recommended Traditions for any event. They are truly the best around!

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Traditions in the Spalding Dining Room for about 38 people. Of course, we knew that it would be beautiful because we have been here many times before. A nice little surprise - they provided centerpieces for each table that were very pretty. The food was AMAZING. The staff was very accommodating and did a wonderful job for our event! Highly recommend!

We are so glad we decided to get married at Traditions at the Glen. We were initially looking at venues in the Finger Lakes, but we wanted a venue with a hotel on site as so many of our guests were from out of town. It turned out to be the best decision. It was so great having our guests and bridal party close by. We used Traditions Spa for the girls hair and makeup while all of the groomsmen and the groom went golfing. We didn't have to worry about a shuttle. But really in retrospect the best part of Traditions was the service. They were so organized and responsive during the planning process, I was absolutely carefree when my wedding day arrived and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. I worked with both the coordinator Bridget and the banquet manager Joe, and they had the entire event running seamlessly. The food was delicious, everything looked great, they were so pleasant to interact with, I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say.

Traditions made planning my wedding as easy as it possibly could be and took so much stress out of the planning process. They were absolutely fabulous from the tiniest details to the big events of the day! Caitlin Garber was amazing at responding quickly to all of my questions and did a wonderful job taking the stress off me (the bride).
