Glendalough Manor

ute changes with guests and decorations. It is absolutely gorgeous here especially in the summer with all the flowers, but even in late February just the architecture is beautiful. You can't go wrong here.

our vision to life. On the day of the ceremony a few decorations were placed in the wrong spot, Pennie jumped into action and had these changed immediately. My guests could not stop talking about how amazing everything tasted and looked. As a nervous bride the last thing I wanted to worry about was the venue on the morning of my wedding. The entire staff made my perfect wedding seamless. The venue also offers a vendor day which was the absolute BEST one stop shop to visit with all the preferred vendors and taste test your menu... FOR FREE! I would recommend this venue to any bride!

set up down the hall from the ballroom which requires guests to leave the reception to get a beverage. Two, My BIGGEST issue is that I am still waiting on my "rough" video from the reception, which was included in the price. They include a "rough" video from their cameras set up around the reception ballroom. They never gave us the video. I have been married now for almost TWO years and still sending emails to retrieve this footage...

the grass was still a little brown and it was still typical winter moving into spring weather it was absolutely gorgeous outside! I have the most beautiful pictures and they really know how to make everything look beautiful. Glendalough is a wedding machine! When we signed up they gave us a sheet that had everything broken down in a timeline for what we will be doing every 15 minutes of the wedding. It is so highly organized that I did not have a care in the world the day of. When we brought all of the decor and extra things we wanted set up at our 72 hour meeting I didn't have to worry about anything else after that point because they took care of the set up of everything I gave them exactly where and how I wanted it and they also took care of take down putting everything back into my parents car. Pennie (Glendalough’s complimentary wedding director) was the best part of the wedding. She is hilarious, and she is willing to go over and beyond to make her brides happy. She even came in early so I wouldn't have to get myself and all my bridesmaids ready in a small hotel bathroom down the road. I would recommend Glendalough to every bride not only because it is so beautiful inside and out, but it is also so organized and their staff takes care of every detail and goes over and beyond to make sure that everything is exactly how I wanted it. The only issue I had is that my friends said they ran out of 2 kinds of beer during the wedding and when I asked Pennie about it later she said the bartender never ran out – which they clearly did since many of my friends said the bartender was serving them other kinds of beer because they were “out” of the ones they requested. Pennie never followed up with me after that.

to tailor our day and our budget with what we wanted. I am so glad we went with GM. The staff is pretty amazing, too. We worked with multiple people throughout our process, but Pennie is just a God-send. She worked so hard to make us happy and keep us happy, yet keep things moving throughout our wedding day and evening at the reception. The food was incredible too. I'm a big "foodie" so this was an important thing to me. My only complaint (and it isn't really even that) is that we did a buffet for our reception, and we did have multiple guests tell us how they were only allowed a certain amount/small portion of foods (and had to choose 1 meat, as we had 2 available). I understand this to a degree, but it was a little bothersome to hear that afterwards when it wasn't really mentioned in the process. We had a beer/wine bar and Pennie worked with us to create a signature drink, which was a sangria with blueberries. So many people commented on how great this was! The champagne they served was also excellent. It really was just all there - down to the details. Everything went so smoothly. It was as perfect as it could have been for us, and we couldn't possibly be happier. Thank you Glendalough Manor!

ood was wonderful. Hugs to all....The Mother of the Bride!

I would always wake up bright and early to a response. Our family and friends loved the grounds the inside rooms and BAR! The food was beyond amazing, and the online portal that this venue uses for its vendors makes the life of the Bride very easy! Amazing Amazing Amazing!

very few decorations outside. It was astounding to find a place that was even more beautiful in person than the pictures display. And the people that work here are amazing, they are so friendly and helpful. And on the day of my wedding they truly made everything perfect. As a bride they make you feel carefree on the day of your wedding. This was a hard mission to accomplish because I have a type A personality. But my wedding day was amazing and I have had so many compliments from friends, family and even the videographer that this was the best wedding they had been to.

extremely professional. They made all of our guests and the wedding party feel right at home. Also, the venue is close to the interstate, making it easy to get to, and there are several resturants and hotels near by to accommodate any and all guests. I would definitely recommend this venue to all future brides.

voices/billing!! Definitely check this place out for your big day:)

helpful and professional and on the day of Nicole Wear was my coordinator she was tremendous! With all of the chaos going on, she was calm and kept me calm I absolutely love the service provided and my husband and I both agree that it was money well spent!

tlanta looking at EVERY ( I really do mean every) place that dealt with weddings. Not a one could hold a candle to Glendalough's attention to detail, the beauty of the grounds and the manor, or the value of the services offered for the money. We had a little "sticker shock" our first run of the numbers at Glendalough--but when you add up what the same things would cost " ala carte" at some of the other venues or what it would cost in labor and time to do it yourself--Glendalough was the best value by far. Jaylyn and all the staff at Glendalough made us feel special and they all seemed to genuinely care about our special day--they got to know us and made sure our day was really OUR day. We wanted a stress-free, fun, beautiful wedding experience and Jaylyn and Glendalough made sure that happened. I still am getting compliments from guests at the wedding--"it was the most beautiful, original, fun wedding they have ever been to". Thank you Jaylyn and all the wonderful staff at Glendalough for making our day happen in such a wonderful way. Glendalough should be your first and last stop for weddings and special events!

d the great service! The food was excellent and by far, the wedding coordinator was over the top!

ooking, we didn't hear from them for 3mths, though we were supposed to arrange to see them within 2wks. Finally, they got back to us but switched our coordinator. Plans were rushed, but they went forward. Then on the wedding day, we get there and the colours for the banquet hall are wrong. Then, after the ceremony, the DJ (the DJ that comes with the venue) was wandering around and didn't announce when the food was finished serving, so half our group was still hungry as the food was being taken away. Then, the DJ announces my MIL, but says the wrong name (a mans name, on top of that!)! Our coordinator had written it wrong a few days earlier but we had corrected it with her. Apparently she didn't pass on the info. For our cake cutting song, instead of the traditional song we'd picked, the DJ plays some horrible song we'd never heard before. On top of that, we were ushered our an hour before our time was up, and our guests who had arranged for rides at the proper ending of the reception were bothered and almost kicked off the property!! My husband and I got in our limo and all our bags that our coordinator was supposed to place in there, weren't there. We had to stop the limo, call a groomsman and have him search for our belongings. So, while the environment was beautiful, the service was horrible. If you want to use this venue, I would strongly suggest using your own vendors to make sure the day goes smoothly.

ng for you so you don't have to spend your wedding day decorating your reception room or worrying about when your flowers are going to arrive. We had so many people tell us it was the most beautiful (and fun!) wedding they'd ever been to. I would not change one thing about my wedding, ESPECIALLY the venue!

ed to pay more than $8000 total...unfortunately when you use the W word (wedding) everything spikes. Overall I think the price was somewhat reasonable compared to what others charge (NOT cheaper but on average). BUT if you get the AWESOME Jennifer Gowing as your wedding coordinator...you will be SET!!! The staff is friendly and they pulled some strings to help make my day THAT much more memorable. Please Note* My wedding was fairly large (200 guests) so food and seating took up most of the budget AND we had an open bar (they dont offer a cash bar...but it was PRISTINE). LOVED MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND THEM!!!!

ade. We were miserable. I was the MOG and we held the rehearsal dinner at Glendalough. The rehearsal & dinner were outside in the beautiful setting. The location is nice and everyone enjoyed it. My complaint is with the lack of communication ahead of time and afterwards. I spent weeks trying to get responses to emails for details on the rehearsal dinner. Many times it tooks 10 days to get a response. There was no check list or info sheet to help me with details and information. There was no contract so that I felt secure that I was guaranteed the date, time, meal, etc. On the night of the rehearsal dinner, the food served was not what I had ordered. I was very disappointed. Personally, I didn't care for most of the food that was served, but many liked it. It was the Southern Barbeque dinner. We did not get the green salad, Texas toast or peach cobbler & ice cream. We got pasta salad, hard rolls and cookies and brownies. After the fact I was told there would be some kind of compensation for the mistake (she admitted it was her mistake). After following up for a couple of weeks and hearing the chef was looking into it, I gave up. I didn't have a lot of dealings with them as far as the wedding went. However, the communication to the bridal party was poor. My sons were groomsmen and were not told they needed to usher until last minute when one of them was pulled to do it. I was not told when I needed to be where, so I just hung around the front area hoping someone would let me know. I had been in communication with them ahead of time to be sure that my 85 year old mother-in-law was taken care of. Very little of the plans they assured me would happen did. It was not all their fault. However, at the reception, she was at one of the family tables. It was the one table in the room with two children and the oldest person. They were supposed to deliver her plate to her and that table was supposed to be one of the first to go to the serving line. My son finally went and got his grandmother a plate and then had to go tell someone to let the rest of the table go so she wasn't eating alone. If Glendalough had just been intentional at giving good customer service and keeping us informed, most of the problems would have been alleviated. They apparantly don't grasp that most of us doing this have never done it before and need detailed instructions to make us feel secure and comfortable. I will say that the cost per person for the rehearsal dinner was reasonable. It was just under $19 per person. Because you can't schedule the rehearsal until 30 days out, it's very difficult to schedule anywhere else. One other thing that both families did not like (as well as many guests), is that while we were taking pictures after the ceremony, a couple was being shown around to see if they wanted to have their wedding there. It felt invasive and like a time share presentation.

included in the price. They made everything so seamless they even had someone come to the church which was not even at Glendalough to make sure everything ran extra smooth. Glendalough really makes you feel comfortable and at ease and there was never a time where I was second guessing my decision. The place was great, the on site DJ was great, food was great, bar was great...I really have no complaints at all. I really recommend Glendalough to anyone wanting a hassle free wedding with a pretty affordable price tag

absolutely the best!

heir beautiful garden and the fountain. It was so magical. I recommend this place!
