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.

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.

Read moreI recently celebrated my wedding here. I have to say the attention to detail here is amazing. I had never been here before and went to the mansion to have a tour and to discuss my options in person. I first met Gabriella and Katie who were so kind and happy to help me. It is honestly truly rare to meet people who are so happy to help, enthusiastic, and willing to accommodate. I had a good feeling when corresponding with them over email, but this was solidified by meeting them in person. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous, I don't know of any other place that has both the aesthetic and attention that Glen Sanders provides. There is a beautiful winding staircase and impressive chandelier - in addition to modern and comfortable furnishings. The food was fantastic - as is always with Mazzone. The entire place was decorated for the holidays provided by the mansion so I did not need to purchase anything extra. Glen Sanders truly took care of everything, they were my coordinator, florist, venue & caterer all in one. In addition, they have an in house Salon where Jen and Jenelle of The Grand Salon did my hair & make up perfectly and were both professionals. This made it so easy for me to get ready and go right to my ceremony shortly after. All of the staff at Glen Sanders were kind and attentive. On the day of my wedding Marc and Ellie were there to oversee my event and make sure everything went smoothly which it did. Myself and my family had a great time. Thank you...
