A Completely Perfect Day

What can't I say about this place! Firstly, we had a wonderful planning experience, we felt completely taken care of and listened to. All of our questions were answered, all our thoughts were honored. And all our dreams and ideas came to life to create an absolutely perfect wedding day and experience! This venue has some seriously wonderful staff, shoutouts to Shana, Leslie, Maki, and Reegan. It also has a lot of its own elegance and beauty and doesn't even need much dressing up or decoration! It truly is an all-inclusive venue that thinks of everything needed to create amazing events day after day. Some highlights that would make us recommend this to anyone are its historic charm, its hidden bar room, its attached inn (and gorgeous rooms), and genuinely the most gorgeous chandelier that makes for the absolute best photos!!

The Venue of my dreams

grew up down the street from Glen Sanders and it is so special that I now get to say that I also got married there. This venue provides the ideal guest experience as it feels like your own private mansion for the day. The bridal suite and man cave are the perfect setting to get ready for your big day and the rest of the mansion is full of neutral colors and bright light. Guests are able to stay on site at the inn and so could we and this was a huge plus. The staircase and chandelier are something out of a fairytale. Glen Sanders provided top notch service and does their best to take the stress off your shoulders leading up to the big day and day of. They are a well oiled machine. Maki was my amazing bridal attendant and she somehow was able to anticipate my needs before I even was. Shana was also a joy to work with and always very prompt with her responses and answering my many questions. Leslie was our event manager day off and she had everything under control. The food was yummy, especially all the appetizers and so helpful that the staff give you plenty of options for the bride and groom to ensure you actually eat your wedding food. Also, I wish Mazzone had a bakery that we could purchase cakes from any day because our vanilla and strawberry preserves wedding cake was delectable! The staff day of was attentive and friendly. I would recommend Glen Sanders Mansion 10/10 for anyone looking for a venue. I just wish that the restaurant from many years ago was open so we could visit on our anniversary. Maybe something to consider in the future

They made wedding planning seamless!

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Glen Sanders on 10/13/23. One of the features of this venue that secured our decision, was the convenience factor. We had approximately 210 guests attend and being able to get ready in the bridal suites and man cave, host the ceremony, reception/cocktail hour, afterparty AND accommodate lodging for our bridal parties + families (17 people), made things much more streamlined. In addition, since Mazzone owns the venue, having them cater the food allowed us to “bundle” the costs of food, alcohol and venue. This is a beautiful venue as well. They took measures to make sure their landscaping and outward/inward appearance were perfect, prior to the wedding.
Preparations- once we had chosen Glen Sanders as our venue, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie R as our sales planner. I can’t convey enough how helpful she was throughout the entire process, prior to the wedding. She helped us choose our menu based on a target per head price and customize it as requested, coordinate and organize all details regarding the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, coordinate with some of our vendors, but most importantly answered every question we had with patience, speed and effectiveness. She was incredibly organized and it helped keep track of the million details at play.
Day of- In addition Glen Sanders provides an event manager, who helps with the setup of all décor, the rehearsal, coordinating background details for event staff, facilitated progression of bridal party on the day of for pics/introductions/processions/etc. We worked with Leslie P, who has a wealth of knowledge about everything Glen Sanders, having worked there for 20+ years. She was thorough, present, patient, pleasant and helpful, with everything the day prior to and the day of the wedding.
Lastly Glen Sanders ALSO provides a day of attendant, we worked with Maki. Maki also has a wealth of knowledge regarding bustling dresses and the inner workings of weddings at Glen Sanders. She served to assist with anything my husband or I needed throughout the day of the wedding. This included bustling my dress as well as fluffing it, holding flowers and my dress during picture changes, getting us food/drinks, and much more. Maki was an absolute sweetheart as well and made things go incredibly smoothly.
Food- coming from an enormous Italian family, it was essential that the food was tasty. We had the 3 stations and 3 hand passed bites- all delicious and replenished throughout cocktail hour. People loved the dinners as well as the cake!
Lodging- we worked with Jennifer for lodging at GSM and she was incredibly helpful. We made so many changes throughout and she was accommodating throughout! In addition, the rooms were reasonably priced and spacious/beautiful/ very clean. They have an awesome breakfast nook to curb the hangover the following morning 😊.
