Glen Foerd on the Delaware

he way, from the moment we met, through the wedding itself. The food was also incredible, and despite the wedding cliches about wedding food, so many of our guests are still complimenting the food we had at our wedding! My husband and I are so grateful, and couldn't recommend them more. We could keep reliving this day over and over again :) THANK YOU!

commodating, professional and all around amazing people I couldn't have even dreamed of working with. Kelly was my contact leading up to the big day, and was someone I could always count on a response from - from the little details to the big details, she helped me make our wedding day an absolute dream come true. Anthony was our day of guy and wow was he just the best - everyone can't stop raving about him! Made sure we ate and drank the whole day and night. It was truly the best day ever, and myself, my husband as well as my parents could not be happier with how everything went. I cannot recommend Glen Foerd and Jamie Hollander catering enough. The best people, food and venue.

e service was impeccable, the bartenders were so fun. We were completely taken care of throughout the entire process, as were our guests. Kelly assisted us throughout the wedding planning process and was extremely patient, resourceful, and calm. The food was tremendous. We cannot recommend this venue enough. It is a hidden Philadelphian gem.

, having cocktail hour inside the house, and dinner/dancing in the tent). Although I spent so much time on (wonderful) details, I think it was the venue that really set the tone for my wedding and my guests were truly in awe. The glue that held my wedding together though, was Grace. She was a huge driving factor in picking our venue. If you are as particular as I am, it is key to feel like someone will be taking good care of you, so that you can relax enjoy your wedding! I know that Grace is no longer working there, however, I have to imagine that many of the procedures (e.g. pre-wedding communication, set up, clean up, etc.) are still in place. The food was great and the waitstaff provided exceptionally good service. Another helpful thing is that they have some of their own furniture, which made some of my rentals seamless. I know I am biased when I say we had the best wedding I've ever been to, so I'll also let you know that many of our guests felt that way, as well! Needless to say, I could not recommend Glen Foerd enough.

ander 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!

inside and outside. The staff was great and our event planner Grace was an angel! She worked with us throughout the entire planning phase and even having to reschedule because of the pandemic she was so helpful! The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about it! A few of our guests said " we felt like we were at a destination wedding!" We looked at several other places near Glen Foerd but they held multiple weddings on the same day and you were limited to where you could have your pictures taken. Glen Foerd holds 1 wedding at a time so you have the attention of the staff the entire time! You will not be disappointed!

nator. She is so smart and experienced, easily managed all hiccups along the way, and made every step of planning an absolute breeze. We could not be more grateful!

o work with and collaborated so well with our wedding planner to ensure everything went smoothly on our special day. They were very organized which made it easy to keep our timeline together leading up to the wedding. The food at Jamie Hollander was fantastic. Our guests loved the venue and gave many compliments about the food. We are so grateful for the staff at Glen Foerd for making our special day everything we wanted and more.

nd run as smoothly as possible. We’ve been hearing from our guests over the last few days about how much they loved the mansion and the grounds, the food, and the service. All of these things combined make GF a perfect Philly venue!

art, to the riverside ceremony and spacious reception pavilion. Not only is the property gorgeous, the staff is amazing. Grace, the wedding coordinator, was kind, calm, and helpful through every step of the planning process. Unfortunately, we were unable to have Grace with us for the day of our wedding, but I was assured her boss would take care of everything… we were not disappointed. I did not worry about a thing on my wedding day because every detail was taken care of. I knew the food would be fantastic based on prior experience with Jamie Hollander’s catering, but the staff exceeded all of my expectations. Everyone I encountered had a positive attitude, friendly smile, and willingness to help with whatever was needed. Even at 12 AM when I know everyone had already had a very long day. In all, Glen Foerd is the perfect wedding venue in the Philadelphia area. You will not be disappointed!

the wedding could be changed, and I was assured, that it would be no problem. Coordinator Grace Mycek was there with us every step of the way, giving advice, and helping out whenever needed. I look forward to going back on our anniversary!

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.

hen 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 sizeable 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. Highly, highly recommend!

tting. I highly recommend the venue based on their exceptional service and the unique (and maybe haunted?) location.

process for our day of coordinator and she was fantastic. I felt so at ease with how the day would go in terms of the order of events as Grace had every hour planned out for us. The venue itself is gorgeous. We had our ceremony upstairs in the gallery and it was breathtaking! The food was also amazing! We had a great time with the tasting and on the day of. I still get compliments on the waffle ice cream sandwiches! So happy I chose GF and JH for my big day.

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!

t 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.

ould have ever asked for and we are so grateful for everything that she and her team did. We had the wedding of our dreams because of this venue, Grace, and Jamie Hollander catering!!

e inside is equally beautiful, which was great when a nor’easter decided to show up at our wedding! Grace and their staff pulled of a perfect execution of such a beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all of which were moved inside last minute. Not to mention the beautiful antique piano for live jazz during the cocktail hour. I truly felt like a princess.

e dreamed of. 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 (such a 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. 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.

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!

venue itself was beautiful and the food through Jamie Hollander was amazing. Could not speak more highly of this place !

ackdrops to the fun everyone was having. The Jamie Hollander team knows what they are doing-my husband and I had a drink in hand and trays of cocktail apps nearby at all times. A simple but meaningful touch that made us feel like our day was really special. Every single staff member was kind and professional. From the bartenders to the servers, there are many stories from family/friends telling us how helpful and nice the staff were. And then there is Grace-she is an absolute gem! Leading up to the day, she answered every single question no matter how small. My husband and I didn't have a single worry on our wedding day, and it is Grace we have to thank for that. She handles it all and I genuinely do not know what I would've done without her there. She is sweet, professional, and amazing at what she does. The Glen Foerd/Jamie Hollander combo is the best of the best when it comes to a wedding venue and catering duo. Our day was so amazing, and we are forever grateful!!

process to the actual day of the wedding, Grace and her team were the support you didn't realize you need! They guided us through our day seamlessly, even getting us plates of food at cocktail hour so we could continue to make our rounds with guests. Of course, the venue is stunning - that's a given. But the real gem here is Grace, her team, and the entire staff.

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!!
