Glen Island Harbour Club

e had glowing reviews of Glen Island from corporate events, weddings, even baby christenings. I heard the food was incredible and the service was top notch. On the day of our wedding we worked with Maria our Banquet Manager and everything we heard was true and more. I cried the moment they opened up the reception doors simply at how beautiful every detail was executed. My family and friends haven't stopped talking about the wedding - from the cocktail hour, to dinner, the Venetian tables, coat check, valet, wait staff, our Banquet Manager, Maria and the beauty and convenience of the venue. There isn't one thing I would change about having my Wedding at Glen Island Harbour Club, they are magnificent to work with and I hope to attend another event there!

was the feeling of a large mansion house; classy, opulent and reserved but not ostentatious. The room was HUGE and they did an excellent job of setting up our decorations and realizing our vision. They even made sure there were enough bars for the amount of people we had, ensuring the line for drinks was never long. Prior to choosing Glen Island we had heard reviews of how good the food was, but when we finally went for the tasting we were BLOWN AWAY! After the wedding everyone mentioned how good the food was and how well everything was cooked and that the steak was prepared as requested. Everything was very organized before during and after the wedding. Our Maître D’ Maria was PHENOMENAL! Took care of us all night and brought us whatever we needed even before we knew we needed it. All our guest got warm pretzels and hot cocao as they left for the evening, a wonderful touch on achily fall night. Jack, Rodney, Maria and Guadalupe…THANK YOU ALL! SO MUCH!

rium windows. Not only was it the perfect venue inside and out but we were pleasantly surprised by the price. The price was right and the venue was beautiful but above all, this venue values client service and support. They make you feel important even though they host tons of events every month. As a bride, I was freaking out about small details and what goes where. When we met with the venue a month or two before the wedding day, our Banquet Manager, Jack, made all of my worries go away. They had a complete checklist for our ceremony (it was held there) and reception. Down to every last detail, Jack went over everything. Knowing that we had Jack who was so well versed in leading weddings, made me feel so much better and at ease during the entire process. Thank you to Jack!! For being by our side every step of the way and being so accommodating with anything we needed or asked for. We had a ton of moving parts throughout our wedding (first look, special seating for my MIL, favors being delivered etc) the venue was easy going about it all! The girls + me all got ready at the venue the morning of the wedding and it was beyond PERFECT. I had my own bridal coordinator who was SO amazing, her name was Luisa. She made sure we were all well fed and had enough drinks the entire time we got ready. She was with me every step of the way and made sure we were on track and my welcome sign etc were placed in the right spots. She was so sweet and if you get her as your BC you are in good hands!! P.S. we also had my husband and his groomsmen come before the first look and they had a separate groom suite with a ton of drinks and food setup! They loved it. We also had a Maitre' D during the wedding day throughout the entire night. His name was George and I'm not just saying this, he was also the BEST. He made sure my fiance and I never had an empty drink. (I didn't even know he was there and he would come out of nowhere with a brand new drink!! It was awesome) We could not have had better people working our wedding day and I appreciate every minute of it. This helped my Husband and I focus on having fun rather than worrying about what was happening. They were truly amazing and great at what they do. Lastly, the FOOD. My guests were absolutely raving and had never been to a wedding with 1. so much food at cocktail hour and 2. such amazing food at both the cocktail hour and reception. My guests were blown away by the level of service at Glen Island. When our guests came in they were greeted with champagne and berries (this was before the ceremony!!) The venue also had their own 2 signature drinks that were ready for guests as they left the ceremony and head into cocktail hour. At the end of the night, the venue had a zeppole station setup + italian ice + pretzels being made outside. I had no idea that they would have those desserts for guests and boy was it a pleasant surprise! Like I said my guests were raving about the food and the entire night!! I just hope I get to go to a wedding at Glen Island now! I highly recommend you check out this venue, you will not be disappointed.

d it was! The venue was breathtaking and we are so happy we got married there!!

GIHC.

s. They went above and beyond to ensure all guests were taken care of. From the bridal suite attendants to the wait staff & bar tenders everyone was on point. We were in the Terrace room and even in November we were able to enjoy the beautiful outside water views. We had 250 guests and room still felt intimate and never crowded. It was a great sounding room for the band and plenty of dance floor space. Thank you! Thank you again for everything you did to make Frank & Kristin's wedding magical!

ceptional, warm service. My guests each said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! From day one of my wedding planning process, Glen Island has been professional, communicative, and supportive. We worked with Rocco from the tour to the contract signing to the tasting and last preparations. He was professionalism personified, with a calm and measured temperament and clear, direct answers to our questions. He had a sense of humor and made my husband (then fiancee) and I feel at ease. Glen Island is itself an absolutely magical place; it feels like a totally different world. My husband and I love to hike, and so being on the water surrounded by trees (with a castle on the grounds of the park!) was simply amazing and perfect for us. The venue itself is historic, and the interior is well-kept and very elegant. I also love how the venue can host two weddings at once, but you will literally never see the other wedding party because the ballrooms are at separate ends of the venue with completely separate entrances. The only place you might see other party guests is in the parking lot. During our planning, Glen Island invited us to a private tasting, where we were able to fully realize how delicious the food was going to be! There are so many choices to pick from, and Rocco and the executive chef even tailored some cocktail hour stations for our particular needs (we specifically wanted a Polish station, which they were able to accommodate without a problem!). Rocco gave us his insights and suggestions but was never pushy, either. He was totally on board with what we desired. Later on in the process, we were able to choose cake flavors (we chose red velvet) and a design (for which Rocco was also open to our ideas--we had a blueberry and raspberry cascade down the middle). What I loved was that in the week before the wedding, my husband and I were able to drive up all our supplies (party favors, card box, escort cards, etc.). We had A LOT of boxes, and Glen Island was able to safely secure them all. Rocco asked that I write up a specific inventory list with sets of directions for how to display things, and the staff followed all of my instructions exactly. Being able to bring everything so ahead of time was such a relief for me. Fast forwarding to the day of the wedding: I was unable to attend cocktail hour because my husband and I were taking photos at that time, but my family and guests were completely blown away by the delicious quality of food. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared and served. As I mentioned before, we had four stations that we planned out with Rocco ahead of time as well as circulating hors-d’oeuvres. Luckily, near the cocktail space, Glen Island has a private bridal suite room (with private bathroom!). Natalie, the very attentive and caring bridal attendant, made sure to package lots of food for my husband and I to take home and enjoy. (Natalie had also pranced around Glen Island Park holding my train and flowers during pictures! She really cared to my every need, even when I needed some thread to fix one button of the bustle. She went above and beyond to help out, and she was constantly attentive to our every need. Such a pleasant, warm, and professional young lady to work with!). The dinner itself was incredible, from the appetizers and entree to the Viennese hour….so many desserts, so little time! George, the maitre d’, was welcoming, warm, and also supremely professional (see the pattern here? Glen Island really is spectacular!). He made sure everything was just right. He welcomed my guests and ran a tight ship that made the evening flawless. He also made sure to check in with me and my parents to see if there was anything else he could provide. I didn’t even have to ask the servers for water--when they saw my glass getting low, they immediately filled it back up without me even noticing. On the way out, guests were able to take home warm pretzels and hot chocolate. Really, Glen Island totally surpassed all my expectations for their service, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. I’ve been to many weddings and events, and their care and precision made them truly outstanding. As I said before, my guests were raving about the place, the food, the wedding--they said it was the best one they’ve ever been to! I’ve been getting phone calls from guests even now a month after the wedding with them telling me that they still remember the day so fondly. That’s in no small part due to the incredible service at Glen Island. If I could give it a whole sky of stars, I would! They made my wedding of my dreams absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything better! As a bride, you always worry about things not going your way leading up to the day. But believe me--at Glen Island, you can put all your anxieties to rest! It was really a fairy-tale day.

he was so accommodating to all requests. He was very clear with his communication and organized and truly helped make all of the planning enjoyable! The food was amazing! Our guests continue to talk about how much they loved everything from the cocktail hour to the warm pretzel they received on their way home. We had our ceremony at a church so Rodney allowed us to use the room where they usually have ceremonies as a smaller cocktail hour for our bridal party and close family. It was also a great spot for photos. Our maitre'd was so kind and throughout the night made sure that all our needs were taken cared of. I could not have imagined a better place to have gotten married and I only hope I can attend future events there as a guest!

Maria our day of and they are the nicest and most helpful people I've met. It's little details but they do everything well. During cocktail hour I put my drink down a few times to talk to people and would forget about it and walk away, and either James or Maria would subtly come up and hand me a new one. Everyone was so kind and professional, I seriously cannot say enough good things!

notch. The maitre d', James, and bridal attendant, Ariana, were so helpful and accommodating. The team at Glen Island made our wedding day truly special. Many friends and guests have told us how much they enjoyed the wedding. We enthusiastically recommend Glen Island.

f did a phenomenal job with the reception. I highly recommend them both for future weddings.

very meeting with Rocco, as the bride, I felt like a bunch of stress was removed from my life. The location is incredible. You have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception inside but it feels like you're outside because the chapel, cocktail area, and the larger ballroom have floor to ceiling windows all around! At the same time, you're able to protect your hair, makeup, and dress from the elements! Definitely schedule a visit! The venue is stunning (it was a dream to get married over the water) and there's so much food (all of which was delicious!) and all premium drinks at the bar. The bridal attendant was SO helpful, as was the maitr'd and staff. I'm trying not to ramble endlessly, but Glen Island simply put together a perfect wedding day for me and my husband and we'll be forever grateful! Here's a tip for those intimidated by the cost here. It's definitely expensive to have a night time wedding at Glen Island (it comes out to at least 210 per person after fees and taxes). Thus, we opted for a day time wedding (11 - 5), which is a much more reasonable price for all the same services. Plus you get to actually see the views and take all of your photos during the day. Just something to consider if you're flexible..

setting a date, wedding party, and other hidden areas that you learn about as you start to mature throughout the task. It can overwhelm a pro, long-less two inexperienced people going at it alone. Well, God has a way of putting you in the right place and among the right people that turn a tedious task into a delightful experience, and Glen Island Harbour Club rose above expectation. The day we meet Paul Deluca, the Caterer Manager at The Fountainhead in New Rochelle, NY, he assisted us with any and all questions we had concerning all the formalities leading to setting the date of our wedding with that establishment. Regrettably, unforeseen proceedings took place that caused us to relocate our place for the wedding at The Fountainhead to their other location in New Rochelle, NY called Glen Island Harbour Club 299 Weyman Avenue. Paul Deluca met with us at Glen Island Harbour Club, where he introduced us to Rocco Agostino the site Manager at Glen Island, who made switching venues a smooth transition. The day of our wedding was a stress-free event that was made remarkable by the total explicit professionalism of Glen Island Harbour Club Staff that went above the call of duty with catering to our every need. They turned July 1, 2018, into a dream wedding, from the setup of the centerpieces, stands, flower arrangements, etc, we handed them days before and the ambiance that fulfilled every imaginative vision of perfection. Paul controlled the esteem, and the Maitre d' Geoffrey surrendered the most courteous service that devoted an attention to all of our guests unequivocally. My wife was pampered with the servitude due to a queen by her Bridal Attendant Luisa, who demonstrated nothing less than to please my wife every wish. Rocco, the maestro of it all, orchestrated a flawless command of attention and professionalism throughout the entire day that undoubtedly exceeded and was above expectation. The food was so delicious that all of our guests wanted to kidnap the Chef, from the beautiful presentation of the cocktail hour to the main course at the gorgeous setting of the dining and dance hall, every belly was full and satisfied. The open bar carried the top brand of liquor and the bartenders’ abilities to conjure up any requested drinks was far from amazing, right to the stunning four tier square red velvet cake with vanilla whipped cream icing that made everyone a lover of red velvet cake. The main course, salad, and dessert presentation were flawless! I cannot find the words that can detail or suggest the degree of satisfactory Glen Island Harbour Club staff and beautiful surroundings of ocean view, the garden of flowers, and the outside tented chapel enriched the circumstances for our guests that were so impressionable in the minds and hearts of everyone who attended our wedding. Thanks to Rocco, Paul, Jeff, Luisa, and the great Staff of Glen Island Harbour Club for going above expectation, you’re definitely a ten plus. You made it a fairy-tale wedding…! Thank you sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Simmons

ons I had. Our maitre’d James was the best!! He made sure that we were completely satisfied the entire night. Not only did he ensure that our night was perfect but our parents and our guests as well. Saray was the best bridal attendant and made an excellent team with James. Our friends and family continue to rave about the food at Glen Island and just how beautiful everything was. For our end of June wedding, the grounds were meticulously maintained and the outdoor area was a great added bonus to the already beautiful venue. I highly recommend having your wedding at Glen Island. You definitely won’t be disappointed.

we envisioned it. On the day of, we had an amazing maitre d (Maria) and a lovely bridal attendant (Luisa). When I walked into our cocktail hour and reception, it was more than I could've imagined. The set up was beautiful, the food was delicious (guests are still talking about it), the staff was attentive to both the guests and my bridal party, and everything was well-organized. I couldn't say enough good things about Glen Island - highly recommend!

d was spectacular! The service, amazing!! Everything was perfect. The day was everything we dreamed it would be, and more! Thank you so much for everything. We couldn’t be more grateful!

ing outside and on the water, without the stress of an outdoor event. And Rodney was absolutely amazing to work with. He was perfect at dealing with all of our questions. I highly recommend him and the venue. Everything the day of was completely handled and I didn't have to worry about a thing. When I would think of something, it had already been done. You are in great hands here!!

Y SINGLE ONE of them tell us this wedding was the best. Let's start with the staff. Rod - he is a gem. He made our wedding perfect and I already am looking forward to hosting our future events at this venue because I loved working with him. He calmed my nerves, made us laugh and made sure the details were executed flawlessly. Rod is actually the reason I booked our wedding so quickly & with a timeline of less than six months, the time crunch was real. Food: Catering halls aren't known for their good food. This place blew EVERY SINGLE ONE out of the water. Not only was it amazing that I had the cocktail hour food served to me in the bridal suite since our ceremony was after, but every one was asking for more food! The dinner was beyond amazing and that salmon I'm still dreaming about!! Liquor: As mentioned, it's difficult pleasing Russian Jews and thus, we brought extra alcohol for the tables because we were sure that the alcohol from the bars would be watered down or house liquor. It wasn't. In fact, we had 85 year olds coming to the numerous bars (there were SO many that there was no line ever, plus the waiters made sure to be on top of the drinks), that we took home all the liquor we brought in on our own! The alcohol was all top shelf, plentiful and the bartenders were on their game. Ceremony Room: We booked the venue particularly due to the ceremony room and it was beautiful. The backdrop was stunning and the windows really made it! Dessert: HOLY MOLY! The cake was tasty AND beautiful! I loved that plus the entire venetian table! I didn't get a chance to enjoy it during the wedding, but the staff was so nice and packed us two trays that we definitely devoured for breakfast! I also loved the fact that they packaged the cake for us to freeze for our one year anniversary...except we ate it by our one week anniversary (whoops!) ANYWAY...this was very long but I will say that the staff, the food, the dessert, the vibe, the beauty, everything together made my wedding perfect. None of my guests have ever been to this venue and I was so excited to have had the venue recently renovated that it was amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ROD & THE ENTIRE GIHC TEAM!

d the food and drinks were. They gave us the entire venue for our wedding so we used the downstairs ballroom for our cocktail hour, which was beautiful because of the windows that overlooked the water at sunset. We had our reception upstairs in the double room which was decorated perfectly! There bar tenders were efficient and quick and the table service was on point. The dinner food was cooked to perfection and not one of the 350 people got serve a cold meal. Everything I brought and laid out for the venue was done perfectly and as expected. The bridal and groom attendants were so on point it was unbelievable! I never had an empty drink in my hand and there was always food saved for me when I wasn't at my table, which I wasn't for most of the time. The dessert hour was a complete dream, in the hall way off the reception room upstairs with the large windows over looking the water and the bridge. Everything was unbelievable, I cannot rave about this place more. I am so beyond happy that I chose this venue for my wedding! Rocco was amazing to work with and went above and beyond for us from day one! Truly an amazing experience!

us plan (including letting us store countless items at the venue the week of the wedding) and James was awesome running the day of. Our guests have not stopped raving about the views and the food! We hope to be back for a future occasion!

ly recommend Glen Island!!!

food!! Everything was given such thought and the smalls details added to our day. The staff was professional and respectful. They were always willing to lend a hand and made sure everything was taken care of. I am gluten free and Rodney ensured I was able to eat before my ceremony! He is AMAZING!!! He listened to our vision and was able to execute it! They were willing to work with us and always encouraged our ideas. The peace of mind I had going into my wedding day was priceless. Everything they did was more than I asked for. Thank you!!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue!!

ou tell him about your vision. He was so accommodating. We had multiple meetings, and he always made himself available to meet with us and any vendors that we brought with us. His recommendations were AWESOME. I knew I didn't want a classic dessert venetian hour - I wanted something more modern, and the night of my wedding I could not believe how well he listened and executed my dessert table. My maitre d' and bridal attendant were also so attentive! If I even showed an inkling that there was something that I needed, one of them would be there seconds later. Glen Island clearly trains their staff very well, and obviously treats them with respect and courtesy. OMG - the food! We had short rib, chicken and salmon; all of my guests raved! The cocktail hour was enormous and had so many options. From the craft beer station, to the Asian inspired station, to the classic antipasto station everything was simply the best!!! Thank you for making our day as amazing as it was!!!!

ns, whether it was a phone call or email. Upon our arrival the day of our wedding (11/3/2017) James and Guadalupe greeted the bride and groom at the limo and escorted us to our bridal suite. The room was stocked with all sorts of drinks and sandwiches to tide us over until cocktail hour. Our cocktail hour had 5 stations - many of our guests told us they gained several pounds from eating at our wedding - the food was so tasty, warm, flavorful, and delicious! When James escorted myself and my husband into the Terrace room to get a sneak peak at our reception room - walking into that room took my breath away - besides the center pieces and candles on the tables, we had candles along the windowsills that the GI staff set up for us - they did just a beautiful job. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have their wedding at Glen Island Harbour Club. GIHC's reputation is impeccable and you can clearly see why after attending a wedding here. Our wedding was by far the best we have ever been too - it was all because of the crew and management at the Glen Island Harbour Club. Thank you for giving us the best day ever!! Best, Darryl & Stefanie Ramey 11/3/2017

id not disappoint. So appreciative of the staff's willingness to go above and beyond in order to make the night perfect. THANK YOU!

of parents who just couldn't stop smiling as we received compliment after compliment...and they are still coming! I have no hesitation in recommending this vendor. They will exceed your expectations!

antastic and plentiful and the venue itself is beautiful. Could not have asked for a better experience!

he food was delicious! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing and extensive cocktail hour was and how delicious their meals were! We couldn't be happier with our choice to celebrate our marriage at GIHC! I recommend it without hesitation!!!

sional and friendly. We worked with Rodney; he's awesome! He's friendly, welcoming, patient and helpful. He is very professional and organized. The maitre d at my wedding, Maria, was also fabulous! She kept the entire night on schedule without being pushy or annoying. Maria, along with my bridal attendant, Jarena, helped me sit (which can be difficult with a wedding dress!) and they continuously checked on me to see if I needed anything. In my opinion, the Glen Island Harbour Club is the perfect place to hold special events! I would highly recommend it!

bout how great the service and food was. Our banquet manager Jack made the whole process stress-free, handling all of our special requests with ease. Our bridal attendant Jarena stayed by my side the whole day making sure I was taken care of - she was patient and professionally carried out every detail. Our Maitre D James kept the day running smoothly. The food was amazing, the wait staff was efficient and friendly, the scenery was gorgeous, and the cocktail hour got rave reviews...even our vendors seemed to enjoy the experience! We do not have enough words to thank everyone at Glen Island for giving us the best day of our lives.

smooth and as easy as possible. Everything was done so professionally, and made us feel so confident that our day would go incredibly well! Our Maitre'd, James, was absolutely amazing!!! During the wedding, James everywhere making sure the night went exactly how we envisioned it. He was so attentive to my husband and I, and we couldn't be more grateful for having James!! I remember during the night, my husband and I looked at each other, and said, "Ahhhhh, this is so amazing!!" We are so thrilled to have chosen Glen Island Harbour Club, and we would recommend this venue to everyone!!! You will have the best wedding ever here!!!!!

ambience inside and outside the Glend Island Harbour Club. Planning my wedding was a breeze thanks to Rocco , and the actual event itself was amazing thanks to James. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a truly spectacular wedding !

17. From the minute we walked in until the end of the evening, they were there helping orchestrate the night. James even hopped in a car to bring down family members who had to be elsewhere for pictures. Thank you all SO much.

utiful. Maria and Guadalupe were so wonderful. All of our guests are still raving that the food is the best they have ever had at a wedding. Glen Island is just the most beautiful, magical venue.

h easier. Maria our maitre'd was amazing and very attentive. She even helped us call cabs for our guests at the end of the night. Elisa my bridal attendant was sweet and was always around to see if I needed anything. The only negative thing I would say is there was one bartender- Lou who was very rude to not only us but our guests. He seemed annoyed every time someone ordered a drink. I don't think I saw him smile once the whole night.

g! My Guests raved about it. Since my wedding was in the fall we even had a station of beer flights ( which the guests went crazy for). While this was going on my bridal party had hot food / cold food in the bridal suite along with drinks. One worker even took my husbands jacket to sew because the button looked loose... I'm talking top notch service. After the cocktail Hour was over my guests were accompanied into the main room the room we chose was spectacular the windows were floor-to-ceiling high with 360° around you could see all of the water and at night they put on these lights that shine into the water so you still get that view. The food was amazing we have people in both of our families that are Particular about food and they raved about it ... The maître d' James was out of this world both sides of the family still talk about how great he was to my parents and my in-laws as well as myself and my husband . The grounds of this place is absolutely beautiful our pictures are breathtaking because this venue is placed on an island with parks so the trees and the colors everything was absolutely gorgeous. The venetian hour was out of this world any dessert you can think of they had even a cordial bar for different types of after dinner drinks . Then after the party was over they had a pretzel and ice cream stand in the lobby for Our guests waiting for valet cars ... this please continued to take our breath away all night the service was excellent and the food was excellent and again our maître d' was amazing !!!

is venue was amazing! Choosing this place took 50-75% of the stresses of wedding planning off of my shoulders. All of the staff is super friendly and helpful, but Rocco is the MAN! If you have the pleasure of working with him, then trust us when we say, you are in good hands. He helped me stay on schedule, even reached out to vendors for me and had them contact me and thought of things that I didnt even think of. He is incredibly warm, patient and understaning and he, along with the entire staff, leading up to and on the day, will make sure that all your needs are met. James, my maitre'd and Jarina, my bridal attendant were always there when I needed them; from the prep in my bridal suite to getting my flats and water for me while i danced the night away on the dance floor. The service is top notch, the food is plentiful, delicious and the options were-a-plenty! The scenery inside and out, were great for photos. I had beautiful photos for a March wedding, so I can only imagine how much more breathtaking they would be when the trees are full and flowers are bloomed. Our friends and family are still talking about everything and cant get enough of how wonderful everything was. Rocco, Rodney, James, Jarina and all of the staff at Glen Island - Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so absolutely unforgettable. --Milina & Jevon

nt. My wedding day wouldn't have been possible without these 3 people. Jack did an amazing job of helping me organize before the wedding and was great at responding to any questions I had. James was incredible and really made the night go by so smoothly. Saray was wonderful! She was so attentive and really knew how to get things done. They were all present on the day of my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. My guest are still talking about how amazing the day was! Thank you Glen Island for making my dream wedding a reality!

. The day went so well and everyone loved the space and ambiance. There was so much food and it was all amazing, including the wedding cake (which no one ate much of because of everything else!). All the staff there were wonderful to work with and I would love to go back there for any function! Thank you so much Glen Island Harbour Club for making our wedding such a wonderful time!

of everything, calm, reassuring, accommodating, and even got us cake "samples" (which ended up being full sized cakes!) when GIHC typically doesn't give those. James "Jimmy" was our maitre d and he was INCREDIBLE. My bridal attendant vanished after cocktail hour, but Jimmy was around everywhere I turned offering me a glass of water, a glass of wine or champagne, making sure I was eating... he was amazing!! At the end of the night, GIHC wrapped up and sent us home with food, the top layer of our cake, and they packed up all of our items for us to take home the next day. Everything about the planning process and the night of our wedding was absolutely flawless, classy, thorough, and smooth. The food was delicious. The cake was moist and flavorful. We had an absolutely perfect wedding, in no small part to the talented folks at Glen Island. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

ommodating and thoughtful. Rodney was our main POC there. He was beyond knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way! On the day of, James (maître d') and Jarena (bridal attendant) were fabulous! So sweet and considerate. They stayed with my husband and I every minute of the day, making sure all our and our bridal party's needs were meet. There was never a moment we didn't feel taken care of! Definitely will be recommending Glen Island to all my family and friends!!

nderstanding in every way always answering our questions. On the day of the event, James was our Maitre'D. I cannot imagine anyone giving more attention to us than James. He was constantly asking us if everything was okay, bringing drinks to us before we asked, making sure the food was to our liking, coordinating with the band, and so many things behind the scenes that we didn't even know about. You can see from all the photos how beautiful this place is. But it is the people that run the facility that make this a 5 star venue. Go visit and hope it is not booked on your date (or, better, yet, change your date to have your wedding at Glen Island). Thank you, thank you, thank you.

d greenery - Glen Island hit the mark and thensome. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. The views from both the chapel and the downstairs reception room are to die for and completely unique. Our guests are still talking about how abundant and amazing the food and service was. Additionally, the planning process was seamless. We worked with Jack, who carefully guided us through the process of planning each aspect of our event. If you decide to have your event at Glen Island, you will not be disappointed.

e venue is gorgeous. We did not have the weather we wanted (we had rain and lots of wind), which means that we didn't get all of the pictures I envisioned on Glen Island, but venue itself still provides for great shots. And if you have the reception in the glass reception room (they call in the Terrace Club), your guests will still be "wow"ed by how beautiful it is. (3) They know what they're doing. The staff at Glen Island is attentive and experienced. We had a bus that was running late from one of the main hotels at which guests were staying and our banquet manager and maitre d knew exactly how to handle it. They timed and directed the ceremony perfectly even though we had never done a true rehearsal; they calmed my parents down who were anxious at times; they made sure I drank water when I needed to, etc. Don't think, just book them.

were very happy with the entire day.

service was in the days after the wedding. They also commented on the excellent food (and the abundance of it). We worked with Rodney and after every meeting, couldn't stop talking about how flexible and helpful he was. He's also experienced, knowledgeable, and hard working and you can tell that he takes pride in what they do at Glen Island. My bridal attendant was an incredibly nice girl named Andreia who could not have been nicer or more helpful. I'm so grateful to Glen Island for caring about our day and for going above and beyond.

ce room that this was the place. The room basically took our breath away with the panoramic windows overlooking the water and the outdoor patio. Rodney and his team are true professionals. Everything was perfect. From communication (he was very attentive to our needs), to making sure all our requests were handled, it could not have gone better. Our guests were blown away with the space and the food. My God the food! People could not stop talking about the cocktail hour stations, then the main seating courses, then the cordial bar and table, and the exit sorbet, pretzels, and water! And more! The bottom line is that Glen Island Harbour Club is an outstanding operation run by professionals. Anyone who has a wedding here will feel the same way we did and will truly deliver the grande wedding experience they are looking for to their guests. Thank you Rodney, John, and the whole team of professionals at Glen Island. Well done!

d'AND Naomi as my bridal attendant. Both were great! have to say Request James he will do whatever it takes to make you happy! Beautiful grounds -and beautiful pictures! And amazing food and staff there is no better place than Glen Island!

my bridal attendant made that night run perfectly. There is no place better and I can't thank them enough for everything they did

ooth and was very patient with questions throughout the planning phase. The attendant in the bridal suite anticipated everything i possibly could have wanted throughout the evening. Our guests raved about the food. We would absolutely recommend the Glen Island Harbour Club for an incredibly classy and elegant affair.

lient and want to make everything special . James was absolutely amazing the day of my wedding. He made sure everyone was taken care of and catered directly to the bride and groom, and parents. I can not believe how special he made my day. Naomi was the bridal attendant who was such a sweetheart. At the end of the night, they had complimentary Italian ices and hot pretzels!!! It was such a nice surprise. I am still in awe of what a wonderful job Glen Island did!

ng would go smoothly. You promised me it would and more than delivered. From the cocktail hour food to the dinner to the table and bar service, it was magnificent. Your staff was attentive, pleasant and accommodating. The attendants saw to every detail and were patient with my questions and my nervousness. The maitre'd was organized and calm and took great care in setting up the wish table and organizing our Star Wars entrance. He was available and present and exceptional. I so appreciate that you recognized that we had forgotten to order dinner, insisted that we did and then made sure our dinners were delivered quickly and that we actually sat down to eat them. And I really loved how you and the staff as well as the attendants got us all lined up and ready to walk down the aisle, opening and closing the doors to make sure it all ran smoothly. It was just a magical evening with impeccable attention to detail and an atmosphere of warmth, family, love and joyfulness. What a way for our children to begin their lives together. The room was elegant and glowing and the precision with which your staff worked with my vendors was remarkable. I could go on and on, but you have probably figured out by now what I want to convey. Thank you again for surpassing our dreams for our children's. We are deeply indebted to all of you.

embers. All of our guests were RAVING about what a beautiful venue it was inside and out. You will not be disappointed with Bill and the Glen Island team.

er seen at not only a wedding but in the service industry itself. They are so attentive that they were reading my facial expressions. It seriously blew my mind. The food was out of this world…living in New York City, we know good quality and it was the best food I have ever had at a wedding. Every bite I had was just amazing. Every person we spoke to mentions the food and the service. The grounds and water view just add to everything that makes Glen Island perfect. Don’t book your wedding anywhere else they are the BEST!!!!!! James, Rocco, and Naomi: Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. We will be forever grateful for all you did for us. I really can’t express how wonderful an experience it was.

accommodating, organized, and easy to work with. Working with him was no stress, they are professionals and we trusted them. They did not let us down, in fact, they exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was so polished that it made enjoying our day effortless. The Big Day: As well as Bill being there, we had our maitre d', and bridal attendant. They were both incredibly engaged, worked great with the vendors, and communicated with us through out the night. We never had a half empty drink or any issues that we knew of! Through out the night, our photographers, videographers, and DJ team all worked in unison with the Glen Island staff. The signature drinks were aplenty, and the cocktail hour was loaded with amazing food. Bar service was efficient and professional. Even the passed hors d'oeuvres were plentiful. I've been to weddings else where where you never seen to get anything or the waiters are no where to be found. This was the opposite. The room layouts for cocktail hour and the reception portion are very flow friendly they way they lay it out. There is a nice patio area to enjoy the views throughout the entire night. The salad, entree and dinner options were so hard to pick as they were all great. The night of, the food was stellar. At the end of the night, they provided hot pretzels and water bottles to our guests. All of the requests from, when and how to place the favors, to special layouts of items we brought were handled with detail and care. All of our vendors were researched and carefully chosen. This made for a perfect night. We have gotten calls, messages and texts from guests of all ages starting from right after the reception ended till even this morning about how great our wedding was. In the end, Glen Island turned out to be an incredible value for the service, details, and the beautiful Terrace room. We would do it all exactly the same if we were to do it over. And we had such a great experience that we joke about doing it again for the fun of it! Bill and team at Glen Island are worth it if you want to have a wedding that has people buzzing and smiling for weeks after. They do so much for you, even the cake they made for us was perfect. If you love the space and the view, book it, they won't disappoint.

so plus guets. Our maître’d James was phenomenal! He knew exactly what was happening at all times, and checked in with us throughout the reception to make sure everything was going as planned. Again, I have no words to explain how incredibly happy I am and how amazing everything was. The bridal attendant was also incredible along with our wedding planner Jack. He was also in attendance at the reception to make sure everything was perfect. I have never seen people so on point – they know exactly what to do, met all my needs got everything organized. It was so perfect. We have gotten countless phone calls and emails from our guests raving about the service and food our wedding. The cocktail hour is out of this world. Many of our guests thought it was the dinner, due to the quality and quantity of food. The pricing for the Glen Island was very comparable to other venue’s we saw in Long Island, New Jersey and New Rochelle – It was worth every single penny. We even have guests who have weddings of their own coming up and they loved the place so much they put it on their list of possibilities. It was really the perfect Wedding. Thank you so much Jack, James and Saray and everyone else who made our day absolutely perfect.

yond delicious. Everyone at our wedding (and now, even a month later) comment about how they been to any weddings that had food like Glen Island Harbour Club. My husband and I had the best day thanks to the staff here!!

notch, especially our maitre d Maria. The night of the wedding was absolutely perfect (and if anything went wrong I never knew!). She was calm and supportive and thought of everything we might need before we knew we needed it. The venue itself is beautiful, and we got lucky with a nice day to get great pictures on the property by the water and this beautiful castle nearby. The food was also on point and abundant! I had multiple guests tell me it was the best food they had at a wedding. Overall, I felt like our wedding was premium and well put together. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

our every need & worked so hard to make my vision come to life. Rodney was truly amazing, he never missed an email or phone call & I don't think the word "no" is in that man's vocabulary- he stayed calm, cool & collected the entire year, I couldn't have asked for a better person to be by my side during this process! & speaking of by my side- James, our Maitre D for the night- he was everywhere! Every time I looked up, he was right there- but the funny thing is, my husband, father & maid of honor all said the same thing! We never got a chance to ask him for anything because he already had it taken care of- a true professional! & my bridal attendant, Andrea, an angel- like someone sent her from bride heaven. She took me by the hand as soon as I got there, like we had known each other our whole lives- she made me feel comfortable & super special on the most important nights of my life. The Glen Island staff did not treat us like customers, they treated us like family. & the food? I don't even know where to begin- my guests are STILL talking about the food! The cocktail hour was something out of a museum, set up so beautifully, like art. Everyone's main course was served at almost the exact same time, how did they do that?! & our Venetian hour had everything, so many deserts, it was borderline offensive hahaha AMAZING, everything was amazing! Thank you Glen Island, my every dream came true!

r prep). When we visited Glen Island, my husband and I just knew that we had to get married there. We used their ceremony room upstairs, their cocktail room downstairs by the water, and their reception room upstairs. Everything was PERFECT - not one thing went wrong on our wedding day. We even had a last minute guest show up and Rocco did his magic with his staff and added it in with no problem. From the valet, the coat check, the drinks being served the minute guests arrived, the ceremony being flawless (with Rocco right there with me opening the doors when my Papa and I walked down the aisle), to our signature drinks being served to our guests as they made their way into the cocktail hour, to the awesome maitre de who kept me informed of everything that was going on, to the most amazing cocktail hour you have ever seen, to my face when seeing our reception room for the first time, our amazing dinner and the most CRAZY VIENNESE HOUR EVER (think every desert imaginable) - I swear that people are still talking about how much food there was at our wedding and that it was the best food they have ever had at the wedding and that they must have gained 10 pounds (which is a big plus in my book because I hate when I leave a wedding hungry!), to our amazing cake (they arrange the cake for you) and it was EXACTLY as I had asked it to be, to all the items being packed up and ready to go when we left, including meals for us since we had no time to eat....I literally can go on and on but this was the best decision (out of all our amazing vendors) we ever made for our wedding. Go to Glen Island...check it out, and meet with Rocco if you can!

of the evening. So many of our guests praised every aspect of the evening. The room felt warm, spacious, and welcoming. The food was incredible, plentiful, beautifully displayed and served. The staff was attentive and professional. John was exceptional as our maître d'. What more could we have wished for? Not one thing!!!! Bill, we are eternally grateful to you for all your guidance, your spirit and warmth, your gracious accommodations, and good humor. You have perfected the art of creating a magical event. Please share our sentiments with your staff and management. We are so happy! With love and high regard, Jamie and David Greene

, couldn't be happier. I have nephews who have severe food allergies and he made sure to take care of them. I can't tell you how many of our guests told us that he went around to each table - making sure everything was in order. He made each guest feel special. And my Bridal attendant (Sorya) made sure that both me and my fiance were always taken care - she brought us food, kept my glass full, and even held on to my shoes went i coudn't walk anymore. I was constantly told up until the wedding that be prepared for disasters on the day off - GIHC made sure that there were no disasters. I was so absolutely stress free that I could actually enjoy my wedding day .

hora of food choices, the appetizers were pretty and delicious. The main course was hot, beautiful and delicious. The wedding cake provided by the venue was to die for (and I usually dislike cake). The Viennese hour had every dessert imaginable. No one went home hungry or unhappy. I can tell you that if you choose this venue from start to finish you will have an amazing experience.

f every details, the food is bountiful and delicious, the venue is gorgeous rain or shine (luckily we got shine!). Can't imagine a more helpful or experienced staff either!

able. First of all, the service was flawless. From our first meeting, Bill accommodated every single request I had. For example, we needed to take pictures with a 175 people who were JUST FAMILY before the cocktail hour. Bill not only provided a great area for it, but also provided refreshments while we took all 40-something pictures. Another example of the service was when an over-enthusiastic uncle went and introduced himself to the staff as the "go-to" person for all wedding questions on the day of, they quietly came and checked in with me and treated him with respect. These are just two small examples of their service. Next the food. This is not your standard catering hall food. Everything from the cocktail hour to the reception tasted and was presented like a five-star restaurant. Two of our guests, separately texted us the day after the wedding to tell us that their steak dinners were one of the best steaks they ever had. The fact that GIHC had the ability to serve 450 people with such consistency was amazing. Regarding the venue itself, it was just spectacular. At least four guests separately told us that they didn't feel like they were in NY and so close to the city. The location is so quiet and calm, you really do feel like you are far from any urban location. The view allowed us to take so many amazing pictures. The Grand Ballroom, where we had our reception was set up flawlessly, allowing for such an intimate feel at such a large wedding. In case you are wondering, there are no pillars in the middle of the room like a lot of venues have, so no one's view is blocked. Glen Island is classy, beautiful and the food and service was amazing. We could not have asked for a better wedding day. We are hoping some of our friends book their weddings there so we can go and enjoy it as guests instead of as hosts! Thank you Bill for everything!!

he made it easy and enjoyable to plan the wedding. The staff, especially James and Naomi were marvelous- attentive, polite and caring. There was nothing that we asked for that wasn't immediately done. Everything was just seamless. The food was surpassed by none. We had a lot of "foodies" as guests and they raved about the food. The location speaks for itself...breathtaking. The experience left our daughter and new "son" glowing about their day. The guests gave us so many compliments about the venue, it was hard to believe. Thank you Rocco for making our daughter's day something she will look back on with the fondest of memories. Rocco, you ROCK!!!

ifferently was hold the rehearsal the night before. Doing it before the actual wedding was a bit chaotic and cut into the time for doing photos. But I would 100% recommend Glen Island to anyone.

ing well. We got so many compliments on our wedding!

my mother, my husband and I put together total perfection--accompanied with some special touches about which we didn't even know until that evening. We looked forward to our meetings with Rocco, during which we were always made to feel comfortable, with all questions sincerely answered, advice given, and no detail overlooked. Everyone always says that the day itself is such a whirlwind and it just "all comes together." There are SO many factors which go into such a momentous occasion, and between Rocco, John, the maître d'hôtel, and Lisette, my bridal attendant, everything went seamlessly. Then, you just add in the setting of a beautiful place on the water, with gorgeous ceremony, cocktail and reception rooms, and that's just the icing on the cake. (Speaking of cakes, they have a bakery on the premises. Along with all of the delicious food, it made quite an impression on the guests and photographers!) People are still talking to us about our wedding, and in looking at all of our pictures, we get to relive the beauty of the evening over and over (and over...) again. Thank you for this most amazing and beautiful memory!!!

maitre d' was James and he was so attentive not only to me and my husband, but also our parents. All of our guests were so impressed with cocktail hour, that they thought it was the dinner until we entered the actual reception! Thank you to all from Glen Island who helped to make our day so perfect!

inter wedding and the view/ scenery was still beautiful. We have some amazing winter wedding pictures to prove it but a spring or summer wedding would be gorgeous as well since you are right on the water. Do it!!

experience was overwhelming as he knew just when to take our suggestions and when to make some of his own. Their flexibility in menu planning and budget accommodation was quite helpful. Their preparedness in reminding us about all the little things that would go in to the day-of execution of the party was reassuring. On the day-of, many of our guests arrived at cocktail hour early. Instead of being made to sit in the lobby, as we expected they may be, they were invited into the cocktail lounge early. James, our Maitre D', and Lizette, our Bridal Attendant, were out of this world! They were helpful and thoughtful. Their attention to every detail was amazing; they doted on my husband and myself all evening. From feeding us non-stop at the cocktail hour, to delivering ice water for us to drink on the dance floor, to constantly refreshing our drink glasses throughout the night, they and their coworkers helped our guests and us have a fabulous time. The entire night was truly flawless and we will be singing the praises of Glen Island and all of its staff for years to come. We are so glad that we decided to host our wedding reception at such a beautiful facility was such a caring staff.
