About

On WeddingWire since 2013

Glen Foerd is a historic riverfront wedding venue located 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a sweeping waterfront view and 18 acres of park-like landscapes and woods, this property is truly beautiful. It's so close to Philadelphia but feels a world away!

Facilities and Capacity

Glen Foerd can accommodate up to 300 guests. The historic mansion is yours for the day! Clients have wonderful choices, including both outdoor and indoor spaces along the riverfront, boathouse and manicured lawns. There are endless opportunities for unqiue photo settings! The views of the sparkling Delaware River are spectacular and make for lovely backdrops, as do the mansion's porches and gorgeous indoor rooms. Up the grand staircase, there's an art museum on the second floor, just down the hall from the sunlit Bridal Suite (with its own bathroom). The groom and his groomsmen can get ready in the basement Rathskellar, fashioned after a German beer hall. Guests can enjoy cocktails on the stone terrace just outside the mansion, wander the riverfront paths and visit the boathouse. The customizable Riverside Pavilion includes a wood dance floor and built-in bar area, a beautifully draped ceiling and the ability to decorate to suit your vision. A huge covered porch area faces the river and allows for fire pits with s'mores - a popular choice!

Venus of my dreams

We had the most beautiful wedding at Glen Foerd. Jamie Hollander and their wedding coordinator Grace Mycek made it a breeze to plan. Grace was so helpful by providing advice on EVERYTHING I could think of, even if it didn't have to do with the catering. She helped me create a timeline and was able to keep all of the vendors and guests on track. All of the external vendors we hired were from the list of recommended vendors that Grace provided us with and they also did such a good job and were easy and fun to work with. I'm going to be recommending Glen Foerd to all of my engaged friends, I would love to attend another wedding there!

Day of our dreams! A wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Glen Foerd. The grounds are gorgeous and the mansion is so unique. We received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing the venue was and how they had never been to any wedding like it. Kelly and the Jamie Hollander team made our planning process so easy and stress free. They were there for every question we had along the way and really made sure every detail was thought through. Our day of coordinator was Anthony and I don't know how we would have gotten through the day without him. Whenever we needed something he or someone from his team was there and we have never felt so taken care of. 2 weeks later we're still talking about how amazing the entire Jamie Hollander team was and how seamlessly the day went thanks to them. We would choose Glen Foerd all over again!

Incredible full-service venue

We absolutely loved our experience at Glen Foerd! Grace and her whole team were incredibly easy to work with and supportive. We felt so taken care of by Grace every step of the way. The venue is so beautiful right on the river and the inside mansion space is also gorgeous. The bridal suite is well-lit and perfect for getting ready photos! All of the guests loved the appetizers and dinner. An extra perk about this venue is that you can provide your own alcohol. We went with the distributor Grace recommended and this was convenient and affordable.

Great caterer and staff make this amazing historic site the location for a wedding on the Delaware River. Everyone is so helpful and work together to create that magical day. As a florist, I find it a treat to work at such an amazing property. There is nothing like this mansion.
