Dream Wedding, Amazing Staff
My husband and I had our dream wedding at the Glen Iris Inn this last weekend, I am still on cloud nine. The setting is unbelievably beautiful, but that is only the start. The staff (Denise and Molly) were amazing. They made our wedding planning and our day flawless. I was so nervous about the timeline and things going right, but there was no need to worry, they had everything under control. They took care of everything from setting up to cleaning up. The tent, tables, everything was set up perfectly without me needing to micromanage, they had it under control. Not only that, but they seemed genuinely excited for me. They didn’t act like it was the thousandth...My husband and I had our dream wedding at the Glen Iris Inn this last weekend, I am still on cloud nine.

They didn’t act like it was the thousandth wedding they had done (even though you could tell it was because they were soooo good), they were invested in my day and wanted it to be the best it could be for me. Then there was the food and service, both of which were fantastic. We did the stations, I got numerous compliments on the mashed potato bar which I agree was delicious. Not to mention the prime rib was very tender. They did a great job with the hand passed appetizers and the bartender was quick and efficient.
Don’t even hesitate, this is the ideal place for a wedding and you are in great hands with Denise/Molly. I promise you won’t regret it!

Helped to make our day incredible
The Glen Iris Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. We fell in love with the Inn and the park on our first visit but what really sealed the deal was how wonderful and knowledgeable the coordinator (Denise) was. She was so helpful and it was clear from the moment we met her that she is incredibly experienced and great at what she does. We didn't always know what questions to ask and we were definitely one of her more casual couples but she was on top of everything and kept us organized. She was also very flexible during COVID - helping us reschedule, working with us to reserve rooms for our mini ceremony even though we didn't...The Glen Iris Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding.

She was also very flexible during COVID - helping us reschedule, working with us to reserve rooms for our mini ceremony even though we didn't have it at the Inn, answering all of our questions and guiding us along the way. She helped us with our complicated room reservations and very kindly changed things around for us last minute when I had a loss in the family. The day of the wedding the staff were so helpful and friendly. Everything was set up perfectly and they kept the day flowing smoothly. They worked with our vendors to take the stress off of us. The food was excellent and we heard more than a few guests raving about it. The setting doesn't get any better - amazing views, incredible waterfalls, picturesque photography sites, and overall just a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. We held our ceremony in front of the Inn and our reception in the tent afterwards and both were perfect. The staff helped us clean everything up at the end of the night and the Inn delivered pizza and wings to our cabins for the "after party". I would highly recommend Denise and the Glen Iris Inn to anyone looking for a beautiful (and organized) event. -

Venue is absolutely gorgeous! Ceremony overlooks the falls, rehearsal had air balloons going up in the background, and the guests spent a good portion of time exploring. Denise was very helpful at every stage of planning and was very willing to work with our ideas. Price was very competitive with other options and the value of service was well worth it. The food was the best wedding food I have ever had! Highly recommend this venue.Venue is absolutely gorgeous!

The Glen Iris Inn and it's staff are among the best people to work with for a wedding, if not the best. Everything they do is a labor of love for the property and it's reputation. They made our wedding flawless and a true success. Denise is a wedding pro and answered my MANY questions without complaint and always promptly. The food was amazing, the setting cannot be beat, and the property and Inn are gorgeous. Best choice we made, and we will be back for years to come.The Glen Iris Inn and it's staff are among the best people to work with for a wedding, if not the best.

Denise, the wedding coordinator, is wonderful. She has wedding planning down to a science, and she's very nice and friendly. She was extremely helpful and knows tons of reliable vendors to recommend. And service by Denise and her staff during our stay at the Glen Iris was impeccable. They took pains to make sure that our every need was met, including bringing luggage and gifts up and down the three flights of stairs to our suite.
I cannot say enough of the location - the outdoors ceremony location is spectacular. The maids and the brides exit out the front doors of the historic Glen Iris Inn and walk to the ceremony site which overlooks the gorge (it's right...Denise, the wedding coordinator, is wonderful.

I cannot say enough of the location - the outdoors ceremony location is spectacular. The maids and the brides exit out the front doors of the historic Glen Iris Inn and walk to the ceremony site which overlooks the gorge (it's right above Middle falls, but you can't see the falls while sitting down). You can have your reception inside or outside - I choose outside. And you are allotted a number of rooms in the Inn and in the Park's adjoining lodging for your guests - everyone who stayed in the park loved it, especially those who stayed in the Inn.
For what you get, this location is a real steal. There is a $6000 minimum catering bill for Sat night weddings (5k for Fri/Sun), which is so cheap (comes to like 7800 with gratuity). We stayed right on budget, and spent about $70 a person for our 85 guests for hors d'oeurves, 3 course dinner (chicken and beef tenderloin), champagne, and 4 hours of open bar (premium). Everyone was well-fed (although the dinner wasn't that great tasting, but no one remembers that anyway). There's another 1000-1500 in ceremony fee and rentals.
There are four downsides for this location: 1. rooms in and around the park are limited, so lodging is tricky if you have a lot of out-of-town guests; 2. the food was mediocre; 3. it is difficult for out-of-town guests to get to (my husband's family is from the west coast, and they all had to fly, rent cars, and navigate the backroads to get here); 4. there are a ton of weddings here. they usually have one every friday, saturday and sunday all summer. This didn't bother me, but don't be expect to be the only "star" all weekend. -

The wedding planners at the Glen Iris were the most pleasant people I have ever worked with in my entire life. They were able to squeeze me in last minute and helped me out with every question I had. Molly kept me sane on my wedding day and the place was incredibly beautiful. Our wedding was small, only 15 people and all family, but everyone loved it and it was the best thing to happen to us on our wedding day. The food was wonderful, tasty, and it looked pretty healthy too! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone getting married in upstate New York! My whole family plans on going back.The wedding planners at the Glen Iris were the most pleasant people I have ever worked with in my entire life.

These guys were awesome!! Denise(the wedding planner) and Molly(her helper) were so great to have in the days leading up the wedding and on the day of..they sat in the office with me and called places to help me track down a dress steamer the day before the wedding...the one detail I forgot :-P They are really nice ladies and will help you make sure that you remember to iron out every detail of the ceremony and reception. The site itself is beautiful and was wonderful to stay there..I would suggest staying in the houses on the hill with you guests/wedding party/ family as they are roomy and nice expecially the Chalet(even without central air) was AWESOME!!These guys were awesome!!
