A fantastic, historic venue with fantastic staff and service
Glen Foerd was a fantastic venue for our mid-November wedding and we loved our experience there. The venue is stunning and has so much character. The outside spaces and inside the mansion are gorgeous and we felt reassured there was a beautiful indoor option if we were not able to have our ceremony outside (which was a very probable option mid-November!). We were able to fully customize inside the tent to be exactly as we wanted and the team was flexible in letting us do things like bringing in a Guinness keg and setting up a sitting area in one section of the tent. There’s a ton of space and very comfortably fit our 200 guests.
The Jamie Hollander team was fantastic. They were kind to our guests and offered great service. The wedding day was only possible because of their help. Kelly was also instrumental in making the day a success and helped us since the moment we reached out to Glen Foerd. She helped us tailor the menu and lay out of the day and worked hand in hand with our wedding planner to figure out the best layout for our guests and overall flow of the events. She continually gave us suggestions and feedback on what would be the optimal guest experience and we appreciate all her help! She is organized, communicative, and professional.

Best day of our lives!
Glen Foerd is absolutely breathtaking. It is the most stunningly elegant, yet natural, indoor/outdoor venue that is also on the water, which was exactly what we were looking for. From the beautiful historical mansion with a wrap-around porch and patio for cocktail hour, the art gallery upstairs, views of the Delaware with picturesque sailboats and greenery, to the year round standalone tent with lighting for the reception, it truly felt like it had everything. No matter rain, shine, heat, or cold, there is a solution for all weather conundrums and it will be gorgeous no matter what. We got SO MANY compliments from our guests, who had so much fun exploring the grounds, and said that it was one of the most beautiful and classy weddings they had ever been to. The bridal suite upstairs is a dream and we fell in love the second we stepped inside. The guys have an equally amazing, manly, rathskeller man cave downstairs that they had so much fun having pre ceremony drinks in. The staff is also incredible, most notably Kelly, Emma, and Alfonso. Kelly was our coordinator throughout the planning process and was very responsive and available to answer any and all questions during the year and a half we planned our wedding. Emma was our day of coordinator and she was the absolute BEST, making sure our day was seamless and fun. Alfonso was our head maitre d’ and he made sure cocktail hour and dinner went off without a hitch. Both Emma and Alfonso each hand delivered us a tray of hors d'oeuvres and made us plates for dinner. We had told ourselves that we would definitely make sure that we ate but truthfully in the whirlwind of the day, if it wasn’t for Emma and Alfonso, I’m not sure if we would have! You can also expect to attend a tasting before your wedding that will take you all the way from arrival through cocktail hour and dinner so that you can see exactly what it will be like and taste all of the delicious menu items so you can better make your own selections! The food was sooo delicious, we highly recommend the bacon wrapped short rib if it's an option. We absolutely love Glen Foerd and the staff and it was the best day of our lives!

The perfect wedding venue!
Glen Foerd was the perfect wedding venue!! We held our ceremony outside, which was absolutely breathtaking. The mansion is beautiful and the guests loved the opportunity to visit the art gallery during the cocktail hour. Working with the Glen Foerd and Jamie Hollander team was also great every step of the way.

Incredible experience!
I truly don't even know where to start when it comes to the incredible experience my husband and I had with Glen Foerd! We are originally from Long Island and went all over the tristate area to find a venue for our wedding. The second we set foot on Glen Foerd, we knew we found the one. It truly is the most magical venue we have ever been to, and it has so many beautiful spots for both you and your partner *and* your guests to explore/utilize (e.g., the mansion itself, art gallery, bridal suite, outdoor porch, sun room, gardens, pavilion, waterfront, stone area, cellar, etc.). We had countless people tell us it was the best venue they have ever been to, and we couldn't have agreed more! Not only were the grounds themselves incredible, but what was even more amazing was the Glen Foerd/Jamie Hollander team. Kelly was our planner and day of coordinator and she is an ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE!!!! I really don't know how she does it and we couldn't have asked for better support throughout the process of our engagement, rehearsal, and wedding day. She was kind, responsive, detail-oriented, collaborative, there to bounce ideas off of/share best practices, and an absolute ROCKSTAR the day of the wedding. We were blown away by how seamless she made it - there wasn't a moment where we had to stress or manage anything because Kelly had it all under control and was ten steps ahead of us (and in ten different places at once!) the entire time. She made our day that much more special because we knew we were in good hands. I couldn't say more positive things about her or thank her enough for everything she did for us!! Our entire bridal party and family even mentioned how great she was, which says a lot. Even the Glen Foerd staff blew our expectations out of the water. They made our guests feel so welcomed and so many people came up to us throughout the night to share how abnormally nice (in a good way) all the servers, bartenders, etc., were. Another great bonus of booking your wedding with Glen Foerd is the incredible food that comes with a partnership with Jamie Hollander and how easy it is to book rentals through their existing vendor relationships. 5/5 stars doesn't come close to rating our wonderful experience, and I could rave about them for hours.

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!We absolutely loved our wedding at Glen Foerd. The grounds are gorgeous and the mansion is so unique.

Gorgeous venue, delicious food, very helpful coordinators
We had the most perfect wedding at Glen Foerd! Book your wedding here ASAP! The venue is stunning, and the food was delicious. Our guests still rave about how good different food items were, with each having a different favorite. The Jamie Hollander team were so helpful every step of the way. I worked with a few members of their team throughout the process (Grace, Leslie, and Kate). Grace always prompted responded to my many questions via email. She gave input on some style choices and was helpful in recommending vendors. She was always friendly and had a calming presence. Kate was our month of coordinator and wow was she organized.
She helped coordinate our alcohol order so we didn’t have to think. Day of the wedding, Kate seemed to be in 10 places at once. She was helpful in every way imaginable, from making sure I had water and lipstick to undoing the buttons on my dress for the dress change. She seamlessly helped me rearrange the order of the reception when I realized I needed to change out of my dress to eat. My family and friends still comment on how helpful she was throughout the day. Thank you to the JH team for making our day so special!We had the most perfect wedding at Glen Foerd! Book your wedding here ASAP! The venue is stunning, and the food was delicious.

Outstanding
The venue is absolutely breathtaking! If you’re looking to have your ceremony and reception in one place on the water with 1 million different places to have perfect pictures taken whether it’s by the rose garden, in front of the mansion, along the water, or inside the beautiful mansion, this place does not disappoint! They have indoor options if there is inclement weather as well. Our event planner Grace was absolutely amazing !The venue is absolutely breathtaking!

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.We absolutely loved our experience at Glen Foerd!

Amazing Experience All Around
Can't say enough good things about our experience with Glen Foerd & Jamie Hollandar. The venue is stunning and unique- many guests told us that it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to! Grace was amazing throughout the entire process as well. She was helpful, informative, a quick responder, organized and I heavily relied on and valued her opinions and expertise. Her and the team made everything run smoothly so that we were able to completely unwind and live in the moment on our wedding day.Can't say enough good things about our experience with Glen Foerd & Jamie Hollandar.

Glen Foerd Delivered!
We had a wedding over Memorial Day and Glen Foerd was the perfect venue! The weather was perfect (although the rain plan that we had prepared for was one of our key decision criteria) and Grace was amazing in helping us ensure our day went as smoothy as possible!

Great experience
We had a great experience working with Glen Foerd & Jamie Hollander for our wedding. Grace, the event planner, is wonderful. She's organized, communicative, kind, and patient. From our initial venue tour to wedding day, Grace and her team made sure all our needs were taken care of. The food was fabulous, and Glen Foerd is such a special venue. We recommend Glen Foerd & Jamie Hollander to anyone looking for a venue/caterer for their wedding.We had a great experience working with Glen Foerd & Jamie Hollander for our wedding.

Stunning and unique wedding in the Glen Foerd mansion
We had our wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception - all inside the Glen Foerd mansion in March 2022 and it was absolutely stunning all around. The setting and decor really stand out in all of our photos, and weeks later our guests are still reaching out to comment on how cool the venue was and how much fun they had. Grace, the event coordinator, made our wedding and wedding planning seamless and fun. Our wedding was a bit unconventional in that we used different parts of the mansion for each part of the wedding, and Grace and the Jamie Hollander catering team readily accommodated all requests and changes with such speed and professionalism that I truly had no worries day of the wedding. The ceremony was upstairs in their beautiful art gallery, which easily fit 115 guests. Then we used the first floor of the mansion for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, but the museum and art gallery upstairs were left open for guests to view throughout the night. Some key points - our guests won't stop raving about the food, and we spent VERY little on flowers and decor in general because the museum is already decorated beautifully so there's no need to do much else. The price was much lower than most other venues that don't even come close to the level of elegance Glen Foerd brings. We look forward to being able to visit the mansion and grounds to celebrate anniversaries since it's open all the time for visitors.We had our wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception - all inside the Glen Foerd mansion in March 2022 and it was absolutely stunning all around.

Truly magical wedding
The second I set foot on Glen Foerd’s grounds, I was smitten. I had already toured a number of other venues and none had the same impact. Grace showed me around the Glen Foerd mansion, which was not only stunning but steeped in history. I was then blown away by the breathtaking views of the Delaware River from the ceremony and cocktail hour sites. The Riverside Pavilion was just what we were looking for – a huge dance floor, great coverage in the event of rain (including a sizable overhang and the possibility to close all sides), and sturdy cement floors that wouldn’t turn to mush/mud in inclement weather. We rushed to book Glen Foerd, even before my partner had a chance to see it in-person – something we absolutely would not have done if I weren’t so head-over-heels in love with the venue. When we finally paid a visit together, my partner was just as blown away. It really is the perfect event space if you’re looking for an elegant, primarily outdoor venue with beautiful views of both water and greenery. And the historic mansion makes a great Plan B ceremony location in the event of rain!
Events at Glen Foerd are run by Jamie Hollander Catering and have the added bonus of including an event coordinator. Our event coordinator, Grace, was AMAZING. She really made the whole process of planning a wedding so much easier by coordinating with all of our vendors and helping us use AllSeated to plan out floor plans and table seating. Although some couples may still want to hire a wedding planner to help with all of the little decisions, we opted not to, since we were primarily concerned about having someone there the day-of to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Glen Foerd was also flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic. Although we weren’t able to reschedule for a Saturday as we had hoped, we were able to reschedule for a Friday in 2021 without losing our initial deposit. When the big day came, we were thrilled to see our vision come together. It was truly a magical day -- Grace did a fabulous job, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from the wedding processional (which we didn’t have time to rehearse), to the transition to cocktail hour, to coordinating dinner service. Grace really made sure the whole day/night proceeded without incident, although she did leave after dinner was served (note: we knew this ahead of time, and the event continued without a hitch. We just missed Grace’s top-notch attention to detail and organizational skills during event cleanup). The icing on the cake was the phenomenal food served by Jamie Hollander! Our guests were raving about the appetizers and their meals. Of course, it is a universal truth that something has to go wrong at a wedding, but we were so lucky that the only small “bump” in the road happened after the wedding was over. And that was largely due to our failure to communicate to the Jamie Hollander team what we wanted packed into our car, as well as what we needed to take with us (for example, I didn’t think to take my bridal bouquet home with me at the end of the night, but I should have!). Overall, if we were picking a venue and catering company again, I would 100% pick Glen Foerd and the Jamie Hollander team.

Although we weren’t able to reschedule for a Saturday as we had hoped, we were able to reschedule for a Friday in 2021 without losing our initial deposit. When the big day came, we were thrilled to see our vision come together. It was truly a magical day -- Grace did a fabulous job, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from the wedding processional (which we didn’t have time to rehearse), to the transition to cocktail hour, to coordinating dinner service. Grace really made sure the whole day/night proceeded without incident, although she did leave after dinner was served (note: we knew this ahead of time, and the event continued without a hitch. We just missed Grace’s top-notch attention to detail and organizational skills during event cleanup). The icing on the cake was the phenomenal food served by Jamie Hollander! Our guests were raving about the appetizers and their meals. Of course, it is a universal truth that something has to go wrong at a wedding, but we were so lucky that the only small “bump” in the road happened after the wedding was over. And that was largely due to our failure to communicate to the Jamie Hollander team what we wanted packed into our car, as well as what we needed to take with us (for example, I didn’t think to take my bridal bouquet home with me at the end of the night, but I should have!). Overall, if we were picking a venue and catering company again, I would 100% pick Glen Foerd and the Jamie Hollander team. Highly, highly recommend!-

A brilliant, friendly, and responsive team
The Glen Foerd team delivered excellent service, listening attentively to our requests, offering experienced advice, and doing their best to deliver. The venue setting is beautiful (and maybe haunted-- in a good way!) and made a perfect frame for our wedding day. We pressed ahead with a pandemic wedding, which was not an easy decision and required significant on-the-fly adjustments and caution. The team at Glen Foerd helped guide us through the whole hectic process.The Glen Foerd team delivered excellent service, listening attentively to our requests, offering experienced advice, and doing their best to deliver.

Dream come true!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Glen Foerd! Our big day was everything we wanted and more which we owe to Jamie Hollander and coordinator Grace Mycek. Grace made the whole wedding planning experience feel so organized and manageable especially after needing to postpone- she helped relieve so much stress in the midst of so much uncertainty. The tasting, and two walkthroughs really kept us on track and Grace worked directly with so many of our vendors to ensure everything was set for the big day. Glen Foerd is a beautiful location and truly doesn't need much to make it a dream wedding- having access to the house for cocktail hour, the rathskeller downstairs as well as, the art museum and bridal suite upstairs makes for a very unique wedding venue. During the cocktail hour a JH server regularly appeared by me and my husband's side to make sure we had as much food as we wanted. GF even offered umbrella service to walk people over to the tented reception on our rainy October day. The day of the wedding, after waiting an extra year, everything went off without a hitch and I know that's owed so much to Grace and the JH staff.I have nothing but amazing things to say about Glen Foerd!

The Perfect Wedding Venue
I cannot imagine a better venue than Glen Foerd, and believe me when I say we looked at like...every single venue in the area. Glen Foerd is truly stunning and the Jamie Hollander team, particularly Grace, made getting hitched there a snap. We had to push our wedding back an entire year due to COVID and Grace worked closely with us to accommodate our new date and help us navigate a very stressful time. The venue itself is beautiful, our guests loved how gorgeous the mansion and grounds are. The art gallery on the top floor was a particular hit! Our guests loved touring it during our event and we took gorgeous wedding photos up there. But pretty much everywhere at Glen Foerd makes a good wedding photo. And having our ceremony right in front of the water was stunning. Grace was an amazing coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. And the food was great! Everyone raved about how good it was, and I'm personally still in mourning that I missed the mini-waffles at the desert station because I heard they were delicious. Honestly, I couldn't think of a more perfect venue for our special day, and Grace and the team at Jamie Hollander made everything go off without a hitch. I can't recommend this venue enough!

Stunning and top of the line venue
Glen Foerd was the PERFECT venue for us. It is not only absolutely, seriously stunning in person, but Jamie Hollander’s team was stellar. We worked with Grace Mycek throughout the process, and she was always professional, organized, and pleasant to work with. I felt she was always on top of every detail, and I never once felt nervous about how smooth the day would go with her there. The food absolutely blew us away. My husband and I did not care to socialize while the dinner was out because we wanted to savor every bite. All the guests commented on how amazing the food and bar service was. It truly made our wedding. If you want to get married at a gorgeous place with a top of the line team – go with Glen Foerd, it is worth every single penny.Glen Foerd was the PERFECT venue for us.

Incredible!!!
This is less of a review and more of a love letter to Glen Foerd, Jamie Hollander + the most amazing coordinator Grace. We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish and our wedding was more magical than we ever could have dreamed of.
Prior to even booking with Glen Foerd, I was fairly certain I wanted to have my celebration there. I worked as a florist in Philly and had worked at Glen Foerd several times and was always treated so kindly and with so much respect. If they were that kind to their vendors (which not everyone is) I just knew it was going to be an amazing experience as a bride. We booked back in May of 2019 prior to the pandemic so we had to navigate COVID during our planning process. Grace was so helpful and kind - giving us suggestions but still allowing us to make what we felt like was the best decision. We did end up postponing and it was such an easy process. Grace put a soft hold on what would be our one year anniversary (we had a micro ceremony on our original date) giving us enough time to talk to our other vendors to make sure they were okay with the move. Once we locked into our 2021 date, Grace + Jamie Hollander did not raise any prices despite I’m sure their own costs going up, but instead even gave us a generous discount on food since we moved to a Sunday!
Grace was such a pleasure to work with the entire planning process. She is incredibly organized and such a delightful person. Every interaction we had with her was so positive and professional and she really made me feel calm and reassured during such a bonkers time. She was very patient in answering my questions (even when they were repeats) and gave us the most individualized and personalized attention. She is truly the best. My husband and I kept saying even if everything went wrong the entire morning we knew as soon as we got to Glen Foerd it wouldn’t matter because Grace had our back!
The day of our wedding was not the best weather, and Grace very calmly suggested we move our ceremony inside. We were more than happy to oblige (I mean can you ask for a more stunning rain plan?!?). Grace seamlessly coordinated with all of our vendors to get them on board with the new plan. When we arrived, she greeted us with an umbrella to make sure we didn’t get wet! She was incredibly corralling our somewhat spunky bridal party and making sure everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when. She even got cocktails for my husband and I and brought them over to us knowing we had so many pictures to do we wouldn’t have time to hit the bar ourselves. I truly cannot write enough praise for Grace, she is one of a kind.
Anthony, Grace’s second in command was also incredible. Every time either my husband or I needed something he was right there. He even followed us around with a tray of appetizers to make sure we got to eat. Such an angel! He did an incredible job laying out my very long and fussy train for the ceremony. My husband also thought he left his wallet and Anthony was so helpful responding to his text very late at night to look for it at the venue after we left.
Finally, the wait staff, bartenders, valet and other support staff were so incredible. They were so kind, patient and polite. The food was incredible, and there was absolutely no lapse in service. They also did an amazing job packing our car at the end of the night. We had several large floral arrangements and breakable items and they did the most incredible job making sure not a single flower got broken all while fitting everything into our car. Seriously amazing.
We had the most magical day and I know it wouldn’t have been possible without Grace, Anthony + all of the Jamie Hollander team. From the bottom of my heart, my husband’s, my mom’s and all our guests, thank you for making such a perfect day possible!

The Most Magical Venue
My husband and I cannot even begin to describe how perfect this venue is and there is not enough space for us to sing their praise. From the amazing catering to the charm of the venue itself, Glen Foerd is a true gem and the best venue you can imagine.
We immediately fell in love with Glen Foerd when we visited the grounds- from the exquisite views of the water and nearby yacht club, the beautiful area, and the mansion itself, Glen Foerd was simply perfect. We were fortunate enough to have our small reception inside the mansion, which my husband so perfectly said was like a character in the wedding . The mansion’s history and charm immediately drew us in, and it provided the most breathtaking backdrop to our wedding. Guests continue to rave about how perfect this venue is and how much fun they had, without us having to provide any additional entertainment. From the art gallery, to the history throughout, GF offers so much to your guests at every turn.
The real heroes of this venue though are Jamie Hollander catering and their team. We had the pleasure of working with Leslie, who could not have been more amazing. Leslie honestly made us feel like the only couple she was working with. Her response time to every email, no matter how trivial the question, was remarkable, and her response was always “yes” and “absolutely”- she and her team wanted everything to be perfect and exactly what we envisioned. Leslie also helped us navigate the wedding planning process- functioning almost like a wedding planner as she reviewed every possible detail. There was not one thing she missed and you could tell that she truly wanted everything to be more than perfect for us. Leslie was beyond professional and coordinated our team of vendors with ease. Leslie and team provided so many tables and items for our vendors, and made sure that everything flowed seamlessly throughout. Leslie also worked with us personally throughout the night, from cueing us all down the aisle, to greeting us with champagne and a tray of all the cocktail hour treats post-ceremony.
Leslie said that her goal was for us to not even know what time it was on our wedding day, and she completely lived up to this promise. She and her team coordinated everything- even taking our decorations the day before the wedding and setting everything up for us. We literally walked into the wedding and immediately got ready and took pictures without having to lift a finger. We did not have a wedding party, so this was truly a huge help to us. At the end, Leslie and her team even packed up our car and sent us away fresh off the dance floor. Everything was executed flawlessly and was neatly organized for us the next day.
Don’t just take our word-our guests could not stop raving about the amazing food and drinks- absolutely everything was perfect and everyone left full and wanting to bring more home. Everything was exceptional and guests even commented on how Leslie and her team were so kind and helpful and were a part of the party. So many people said that this was the best food and the best team they ever saw at a wedding. We received so many compliments on everything that Leslie and team touched, and we were so grateful for all that they did to make this event perfect.
Leslie and team’s expertise and attention to detail were invaluable, and perfectly complimented this breathtaking venue. This venue and team will provide a truly unforgettable experience and you should look no further!

The most beautiful location and amazing team!!
Grace and the Glen Foerd / Jamie Hollander team is amazing!! Grace was so great to work with from the start. We were a COVID venue so we had to move our wedding twice. During all of the unknowns, Grace and Jamie Hollander were always proactive in providing plans and options for us. They were buttoned up and professional, taking phone calls and walking us through the steps to move our date (timing, what was needed, etc). They understood that it was a pandemic and wanted to make sure that we still had the wedding we planned for. Hearing stories from friends and the obstacles they faced with their venue vendors to move their wedding dates, was so surprising because I assumed everyone was being as great as Jamie Hollander! The day of went so smooth - and the food was amazing! All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much they loved the food! I highly recommend the venue - amazing location and amazing team!!Grace and the Glen Foerd / Jamie Hollander team is amazing!! Grace was so great to work with from the start.

One for the books…
The venue is perfect! Such a beautiful “marriage” (pun intended) of opulence and nature. It was so convenient to have everything at one site, but every space of Glen Foerd provides its own unique setting and ambience that it felt like different experiences throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The best thing about Glen Foerd though is Grace. She was our coordinator and we WOULD NOT have been able to pull it off without her. She is so kind, understanding, and always put the client first. We never had to track her down, she worked great with all of the vendors, and is a true professional. Our wedding was one that had to be postponed due to COVID, and we encountered a lot of difficulties/questions that Grace was able to navigate with ease. Her organization and attention to deal helped alleviate any day of jitters and everything ran seamlessly.The venue is perfect! Such a beautiful “marriage” (pun intended) of opulence and nature.

Make wedding planning so easy!
Glen Foerd is such a gorgeous venue that when we first visited in Dec 2019 we knew this is the spot! Not only that but Jamie Hollander team and their wedding coordinator Grace Mycek were so helpful, responsive, and flexible, which I am especially thankful for during Covid. Grace is so organized and detail orientated that I didn't really need to worry about anything throughout this entire wedding planning process. Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS - my guests are still raving about the food! I would love come back to attend a wedding here as a guest!Glen Foerd is such a gorgeous venue that when we first visited in Dec 2019 we knew this is the spot!

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!We had the most beautiful wedding at Glen Foerd.

Gorgeous venue with the BEST food
Glen Foerd was the absolute perfect setting for our magical day on 5/29/21. We booked over a year in advance pre-COVID and the Jamie Hollander team could not have been more accommodating, communicative and flexible during an incredibly a year of stressful wedding planning amidst the pandemic. In the end we were able to have our event on the originally planned day and it couldn't have been more perfect.
From the very first day that we toured the venue our coordinator Grace was by our side helping every step of the way. She was attentive, thoughtful, detail-oriented and just all around lovely. As a career planner I don't trust just anyone easily to handle logistics, but Grace was on top of EVERYTHING from day one.
The grounds are gorgeous as Glen Foerd is a part of the Philadelphia parks system. It's right on the water and has a grand gated entrance that immediately impresses your guests. During any season there are a variety of plants and flowers in bloom -- there's really not even a need to "decorate" as the venue itself is perfection. Which leads me to the mansion itself! We ended up having a rainy cold day and moved our ceremony indoors which in hindsight was even more perfect than our original plan. Everything about the interior is elegant with each room dedicated to an art installation or art collections. Our guests LOVED it.
The food could not have been better. Jamie Hollander has SO many options for appetizers as well as meals, it's almost impossible to narrow the choices down. Because of the pandemic we had to reschedule our tasting multiple times, but once we finally had it, it was perfection. Our guests are still talking about the mini cheesesteaks and mini lobster tacos!
The reception tent is beautiful in and of itself. It's the best setting for the party of a lifetime. I can't possible recommend the Glen Foerd mansion, the Jamie Hollander catering team, and Grace enough!
