Jenna S. Sent on 12/30/2023Absolutely perfect
The Glen Venue is truly the most special place. We loved everything about it. The property is beautiful everywhere you look. Being able to get married at such a breathtaking place in nature was a dream. LaNell and Tab went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. The Taber family are wonderful people and we feel honored they shared their family’s land with us. LaNell was fantastic to work with. She went the extra mile leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding to make sure every detail was taken care of and everything ran smoothly. We cannot recommend the Glen Venue enough and feel so happy we had the most magical wedding here! -

The Glen Venue is an amazing venue comprised of gorgeous landscapes and full of history. Not only is the property beautiful, but the venue owners are SAINTS. I’ve never met such kind, helpful, compassionate, understanding, and wholesome people. Even when things with my dj and wedding planner went south LaNell and Tab were right there ready to help. I believe my wedding night would’ve been a lot smoother if we hired LaNell as the day of coordinator, so I’d definitely recommend that! Overall, you can’t beat the beauty in the nature, the rich history, and the awesome owners at the Glen. My husband and I are so thankful for the experience and to be a part of the Glen Venue family now. You won’t regret getting married here! -

The Glen Venue was the perfect location for my sister's wedding. The grounds are STUNNING. Our host, LaNell, was a pleasure to work with. From the moment planning began, She was organized and helpful with every last detail. LaNell and her husband made the entire wedding day go so smoothly - we really couldn't have done it without them! If I'm ever hosting or planning an event near Jacksonville again, I would go back to The Glen Venue in a heartbeat. Thank you so much LaNell! -

Best Venue Ever!
I cannot say enough great things about this venue. From the moment my husband and I came to tour, we knew this place was special. LaNell was so authentically invested in our lives, our love story, our vision, our wedding... the list goes on. We felt truly seen and cared about here. The care we received was truly remarkable. We felt like we were part of the family from the get go! I feel like that’s what sets them apart from other venues. That - and the jaw dropping views of the grounds. I mean… every corner there are beautiful views that are sure to leave you in awe. We are so thankful we chose The Glen Venue for our special day. Now, we have amazing memories to last a lifetime… as well as lifelong friends who own the venue ❤️ We are so grateful for everything they have done for us!! -

I can’t even begin to explain how magical this place is. It’s vintage with a whimsical feel. Its definitely a hidden gem! Don’t get me started on the photo ops. So many pretty places to take pictures. If your looking for an outdoor whimsical theme this is the place for you. I had many family members travel from California and have heard non stop how amazing and beautiful our wedding day was and how unique it was as they had never experienced a setting like this. (Including dancing in the rain) 🥰
Mrs. Lanell is absolutely fabulous ! She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. I would not have if any other way. It truly was the best day of my life and I can’t wait to see my pictures.The Glen Venue's reply:
It was our delight to be a part of your wedding day team of family and friends who came together from near and far to prepare and celebrate the wonderful love you two share. It was a magical day of joy and love! Blessings on your marriage! -

Memorable and Magical
This place was nothing short of spectacular. I was looking for something with an earthy/woodsy vibe, all outdoors, and in North Florida. This venue was IT!
Our host LaNell, was a pleasure to work with. From our first contact with her, we were treated like family. She made the planning process a breeze by anticipating and having answers to our questions and giving us things to consider that we hadn’t considered before. She was also very helpful to our vendors, especially our photographers. There are so many photographic locations. LaNell is a pro at knowing what time of day is optimal for photographing each location. The photo we added with our review, LaNell took herself on her phone!
The venue itself emanates raw, “old Florida” beauty, and with your décor in place, it’s simply breathtaking. They even have mosquito control!!! Our wedding guests raved about the venue. Our experience was beyond memorable and magical.The Glen Venue's reply:
Thank you Carla and Cecil for allowing us the opportunity to serve you and your families on your wedding day. We loved the relaxed and fun vibe you both brought to the day! Your decorations were so festive and unique...adding to the beauty of your celebration with family and friends. We delighted in being a part of your special wedding memories! Blessing in your new lives together as husband and wife! ~LaNell -

The Glen Venue was everything I imagined for our special day. The scenery was magical...from being married outside with the azaleas and their natural beauty to dancing under the twinkle lights on the deck under the stars. The entire day was gorgeous with the best weather we could of asked for. Mrs. LaNell really made me feel a part of the family and was always so helpful from start to finish. She met every need I had and really made us feel valued as costumers. Our day was nothing short of perfect thanks to The Glen Venue! I would highly recommend...such a relief to work with such wonderful people at such a beautiful piece of property with timeless beauty. Thank you Glen Venue! -

Brittany S. Sent on 01/09/2021The magical, fairytale woodsy wedding I dreamed of
I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about LaNell, her family and The Glen Venue to cover how much love I have for them! I searched far and wide for a charming, woodsy venue here in Florida and I knew from the moment I saw the photos on their blog, I was smitten. It was the only venue we toured before we decided, too. LaNell was charming, sweet and so accommodating throughout the year we planned our wedding. Once COVID hit, we had a lot of questions and concerns that she handled with a phone call, which meant the world to me. She put me at ease and had a solution (or two!) for any situations we could think of, not knowing how the pandemic would be 8 months down the road.
Our wedding was small to begin with (35 guests), but the beautiful outdoor location allowed us to space out the tables, create a route for serving food and getting safely from point A to point B to point C with little to no germs! Her and her family were masked any time they were around, which I really appreciated.
LaNell was easy to communicate with while I planned, brought up concerns that I hadn’t thought of, and made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire day we were there. They made sure we had everything we needed during set up, helped us find odds and ends we were missing the morning off, and did an amazing job helping us clean up. I honestly cannot say enough about LaNell, her family and the wonderful nursery and venue they lovingly share with the world. It was the most magical day, and better than anything I had dreamed in my head. Thank you so much for helping us have the fairytale wedding we wanted - it was simple, and perfect.The Glen Venue's reply:
Thank you Brittany for your overwhelming gracious words of love. It was our great joy to serve you and Dylan on the beautiful day of your wedding. May the magic of your fairytale marriage beginnings continue to blossom and grow the reality of a lifetime of loving your soulmate! ~LaNell -

Perfect venue, perfect family
I don’t even know where to begin in expressing my gratitude towards this family. From day one, LaNell was the most gracious host. She was helpful in giving advice and ideas and really made us feel at home at her venue. Her and her husband made our wedding day so much easier and the venue itself couldn’t have been more gorgeous. It came with tables so we didn’t have to rent any which is honestly a major bonus. LaNell helped us and our photographers find the best spots for pictures and really took care of us. My husband and I were able to stay in a cabin on the property the night of the wedding which was a very special touch. If I had to do it all over again I would choose the Glen no questions asked. -

Amazing! Perfect venue for your perfect day!
The Glen Venue is truly a hidden gem! We got married 11/9/19 and it could not have been a more perfect setting. The Mathis House is beautiful and unique, if you are looking for an outside setting. And affordable! LaNell and the crew were awesome to work with day of, and helped in anyway they could to keep things running smooth. Would highly highly recommend this venue! Wish we could relive that day over and over!! :) -

I love every single picture surrounded by nature. First looks in an abandoned greenhouse and old style house from the 1800’s definitely perfect for the vintage look I was looking for! I loved how everything came out! This place is a paradise and my family and friends loved it! -

Kelly Sent on 04/10/2019Perfect venue for our dream wedding!
The Glen venue, Mathis House was perfect for our dream wedding! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The grounds were gorgeous and weather perfect, but what topped it off for us was the time, care, attention, and service we received from the Tabor family. Accommodating through and through. LaNell and Vivien were awesome! We'll definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for one!The Glen Venue's reply:
Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to do this for us. We are pleased that your wedding was everything you wanted it to be. -

Cashen wedding
Everything was perfect the day of the 16th. My daughter married her soul mate . The owners of the property were very helpful as well as inviting us to come back anytime to learn more about the history. The coordinator was also so very helpful. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend this venue. -

An absolute dream
Working with LaNell and the Glen Venue was the best decision my husband and I made. Our wedding was an absolute dream. Not only are the grounds and buildings perfect and beautiful, but LaNell was so helpful and kind. She truly made us feel like we were apart of the family. She was extremely responsive and kind. They are flexible and care about each couple who comes there to marry. I can’t say enough about this venue. We only had to look at two venues before deciding. I knew immediately that the Glen was the place I wanted us to begin our life together. You won’t regret picking them as the venue for your wedding either! :) -
