and how to run the sound, lights, bubbles etc :) DJ Shane created a personalized song for us and took all my song recommendations and made it into such a fun night! We received many complements on the bubbles and the kids outlasted all the adults on Friday night - they had such a great time! They also have wonderful photographers - Danielle was absolutely amazing and handled the longest do not miss list perfectly! Glenhaven even has their own coordinators! Nicole made sure everyone knew what was going on at rehearsal - where to be, when to go where, etc! They have officiants as well! George was amazing and even had a gift for my mom who is a huge John Wayne fan! She absolutely loved it! Everyone is there to make your day the best it can be and all the support we received was amazing as we planned the wedding on a really short timeline and were very last minute on several items but they helped us with everything! Can’t recommend enough! We also received many complements on how good the food was and many asked about who did the food - shoutout to Briannos! The sign out front is a very personalized touch as well with our photos and a short message for guests to see as they arrive to the venue.

People are still talking about how wonderful our wedding day turned out, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you to the entire Glenhaven Events team for giving us a life moment we will never forget!

ect day! The biggest reasons we chose Glenhaven were: beautiful space, dance floor sound/lighting and bubbles, ceremony and reception at the same location, provided caterer (we still chose the menu after an included tasting!), provided DJ, options for bakery, floral, photographer, and decor provided - so many less decisions and research for us to do! They also provide a wedding coordinator, Nicole, who was fantastic to work with! We had a couple of meetings and discussed every detail and option to make the day exactly what we envisioned. She made it easy to pay and rolled everything into one manageable spreadsheet. She was so knowledgeable and experienced to help us throughout the process and the day of the wedding. So happy we chose this company and this venue!

lanning, but I would always say "no not really because my venue does most of it for me!" The all-inclusive aspects were so nice to have and to be able to build your package just to what you need felt like a luxury. AND you pay it all in one package! No making payments to tons of people!! The wedding day itself went great. It rained prior to the ceremony, unfortunately they ran out of towels to dry off the seats but other than that it was a great experience. My guests spoke highly of the space and of the service. I would not change a single thing about my wedding day!

Almost every single one of our guests commented how nice the venue was and how great the food was. The location was great, the packages were great, and the price was hard to beat compared to anyone else in the area. It is amazing that a day of coordinator is included who is always incredibly great at what she does. Nicole was so easy to work with and our day ran as smooth as butter! It was also nice that they have a location to have the ceremony inside or out, so regardless of weather, you were covered! We are so happy Glenhaven Events was part of our day.

it remarkably easy to choose a venue that encompassed everything we desired. I appreciated that the package included photography, DJ services, and catering all in one, which minimized the number of decisions we needed to make. Nicole, the planner and day-of coordinator, was a pleasure to collaborate with and promptly addressed any questions or changes we had leading up to our special day. On the day itself, Nicole was incredibly supportive and ensured that our wedding proceeded as seamlessly as possible. Our photographer, Danielle, was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her if you select this venue for your celebration. DJ Ryan was a delight to work with and contributed to a fun-filled evening for all our family, friends, and children in attendance. The food provided by Brianno's was outstanding, and many of our guests praised its quality. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! My husband and I strongly recommend Glenhaven as your wedding venue!

ay months in advance. Nicole was in charge on rehearsal evening instructing the bridal party on all the where, what and when’s for the wedding day. As guests arrived, they saw a picture of the bride and groom on the large Glenhaven sign. This was such a nice personal touch. We had planned for an outdoor ceremony, but the weather was questionable. Nicole was patient and flexible, waiting for us to make our final decision. We were prepared to have the ceremony inside and it would have been beautiful, but the weather cooperated, and we were able to have an outdoor ceremony on the beautiful grounds. The Glenhaven staff were wonderful from preparing, serving and clean-up. They were there to serve and help us have an amazing day. The food was absolutely delicious. So many of our guests complimented the venue and food. It was a memorable, beautiful wedding. Thank you to George, Nicole and all the Glenhaven staff.

ur big day to plan the details. Her experience in the industry was so useful; she asked us questions we wouldn't have thought of, and we had an amazing day as a result of her help in planning.
George, the venue Owner, was flexible and understanding with us regarding payments. Having the venue, coordinator, DJ and catering all rolled into one flexible payment plan made it possible for us to afford our dream wedding. We will always be grateful for this.
Glenhaven is a gorgeous setting for a wedding. Ours was in the fall, and the leaves were stunning! The indoor reception was out of this world. DJ Ryan made it an incredibly special event and was an attentive partner in planning, just like Nicole. He did an incredible job with the music, lights, emcee duties and more.

Our videographer Jack was so kind and quiet you hardly knew he was even there capturing every moment. And DJ Ryan knew exactly what to do when we didn't. The song choices were on point and everyone had an amazing night rocking out to every song. The games were fun and he knew how to capture the crowd! My absolute favorite was the shoe game!! The venue itself was a DREAM!! From the beautiful garden for the ceremony where we were surrounded by butterflies and dragonflies the whole time to the inside where everyone raved about the food and the lights and smoke bubbles and the beautiful woodsy feel it literally was the most magical day of our lives. Thank you FabWeddings! Every part of it was amazing!

We also used George (the owner) as our officiant and he was absolutely great, definitely made it easier to not feel nervous as he would joke with us a little bit to help take the edge off! If you are planning a wedding I definitely recommend using Glenhaven as a venue as it is beautiful inside and out for ceremony and reception. The day of we had no issues at all and me and my bride enjoyed the whole day. Glenhaven (Fab! Weddings) was the best choice we made and we as a couple definitely did have more fun!

ng up to the event. Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with and we cannot speak enough amazing words about working with her. She was always quick to respond, respectful, and supportive of everything we wanted for the day of. She took the dream and made it come to life! She answered every question with ease and came the day of the wedding, we did not have to worry about anything. I feel like there is always stress of how everything is going to get done the day of and we did not have to worry about a thing. Their planning process deserves a gold medal. Glenhaven prides themselves on being an all inclusive venue and they knocked that out of the park. Chairs, tables, linens, and decor we rented was all set up by the time we got to the venue at 8am. They helped with clean up as well of decor we had brought in which helped take the stress of the night away. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone getting married. The venue is absolutely gorgeous as well and we received so many complements on it. We had DJ Ryan as well and he truly showed the life of the party. The process of planning a playlist is stressful but he made it a breeze. He fed off of the crowd as well all night and played exactly what the crowd wanted to hear. A dance floor to remember! We are just truly grateful to the entire staff of Glenhaven and cannot thank them enough for our best day ever. Also another shoutout to Briannos Catering. Their food was amazing and we got so many complements. Clearly, not enough great things to say. You will have the best of and most stress free of days with Glenhaven Events.

Glenhaven is a truly wonderful venue. After witnessing other weddings, and my sisters right before mine I can say for sure this is exactly the kind of place you should be looking f...
or. A wedding should be a great party for you and your family, and it really helps when you can put as little of your own effort on your big day as possible. Everyone was experienced and knowledgeable in all things wedding. They provided so many great ideas and feedback. Which honestly, if you're a first time bride you are probably not going to think of these things. Especially if you're not the social party type. They can provide almost every service you need.
Glenhaven was very budget friendly for me. I was able to pick a date in the off season on the cheapest day (a Sunday lol) and I only had about 60 guests. They were kind enough to help me reduce costs wherever possible. Enabling me to add on to more important areas. Very kind, you really get the sense that they enjoy more then just business but making happy weddings happen. They had great spaces for getting ready for both ladies and gents. A private arcade going on in the basement for your bridal party to enjoy after getting ready or waiting for their turn. lol
Nicole was so on top of everything, the entire event was smooth sailing. Glenhaven was both beautiful inside and outside. We had planned for a outdoor ceremony but because of rain we had to move it indoors. Nicole did such a great job taking all the worry off of me as a bride. Sherry did such wonderful work decorating the tables. She was able to last moment provide additional decor upon request to enhance the now indoor ceremony. Best of all draping and lights are just a part of the venue. If you are looking at vendors you know what I'm talking about... You get to keep your arm and your leg... The food was excellent Brianno's did a great job. They even provide a tasting event to make sure you pick exactly what you'd love. It wasn't private, which was actually pretty great because you got to try almost everything they had to offer and it was buffet style. Nice. After reading the menu and actually testing the food our choices did change. DJ Ryan was so much fun. If you want people to have a blast after dinner an experienced DJ who has a great setup is a must. The venue was well equipped will all the gear he needed for a fabulous party. Speakers, lights, smoke and bubbles! Danielle was a great photographer too! So thorough in capturing every moment, creative and experienced. She was well equipped to tackle every moment not just through the lens. She's had props for special photos and is even so caring as to provide her brides with a emergency kit she put together herself (boob tape and spray deodorant was very appreciated and needed! lol).
There is so much I can say about how great of a experience I had there's not enough words. They are defiantly worth the chance that they can make your event just as magical.

My husband and I just had our wedding here on 11/3/23. From the very first tour at Glenhaven, we were blown away with how gorgeous the venue is. Over the course of wedding planning...
, we were in close contact with fab. They graciously answered any and all questions we had. We opted to use most of their preferred vendors, which we LOVED them all! We did have an issue with their floral preferred vendor, to which we chose to use our own. My mother in law has celiacs and is gluten free. We had multiple conversations about this topic, as any gluten would make her very sick. We chose to bring in our own food to eliminate any potential issues.
The day of, Punky was the one who greeted us in the morning and made sure everything was in tip top shape— she was so sweet, and checked in to make sure we were doing ok as we got ready. Nicole, our day of coordinator, was beyond amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was nothing less than perfect for us— including hearing my concerns with the gluten free food and even down to accommodating my father, who just had hip surgery less than 3 weeks before our big day. Nicole was truly fantastic from our time Thursday night at the rehearsal, to all day Friday! We cannot thank her enough for working with us with a huge smile always on her face. She is so SO good at what she does!!! The wait staff, bartender, and security were fabulous as well. Matt was our DJ, and he was truly amazing! He knows what he’s doing and does it well. We had many guests comment on DJ Matt, and how he was more than a DJ as he went above and beyond to guide things along perfectly! Danielle Albrecht was our photographer, and we cannot say enough amazing things about her! She busted her butt getting all the amazing shots, and we are in awe over how great our photos turned out!
The entire day was seamless! As my family and I were reflecting on the day/night we all agreed there were ZERO bumps in the road (that we were aware of anyways) and everything was simply perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you fab weddings!!

We are so happy that we chose Glenhaven for our big day!! As soon as we showed up for our tour, I knew it would be an amazing place. The staff are very kind and promptly respond to...
emails with any questions. Nicole was our coordinator and was fantastic throughout the process, making professional recommendations and helping us plan our big day. The ability to be inside or outside was awesome, and the venue is stunning for photos. We would highly recommend this venue!!

ul since it was less coordination on our end. Our wedding coordinator, Nicole, was so great! She was very responsive to emails, and did everything she needed to ensure our wedding went exactly to plan. We definitely recommend this venue!

Glenhaven Events is a beautiful venue inside and out. We could not have asked for a more perfect place and day. All of the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day go of...
f without a hitch. Nicole, our planner and day of coordinator helped make everything run seamlessly and helped us plan everything out. Ryan, our DJ was great at getting our guests involved and providing fun games/ideas for us to incorporate into our night (so many guests loved the shoe game!) and our officiant- George personalized our ceremony and made it so “us” and exactly what we were looking for. The food was delicious and we had so many complaints about the staff, venue and food. I would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone!

Glenhaven was more than we could have ever dreamed of for our wedding. From the moment we went to tour Glenhaven, we knew that it would be the perfect venue for us! We receieved so...
many compliments on the venue space, the pictures do not even do it justice! George and his team were AMAZING from start to finish. Especially Nicole, she was there for anything that my husband, myself, or even our guests could have ever needed! She was incredible and I can never thank her enough. The wait staff were so friendly & helpful. DJ Ricki was also amazing! OH and the food? Our guests were raving about the meal - I have been getting phone calls asking about where our food was catered from like you wouldn't believe! The day was just perfect and ran so smoothly. We cannot recommend Glenhaven or any other FabWeddings venue enough!

Please get married at Glenhaven Events or any of the Fab! Weddings venues if you can! They were so well organized and filled with honest and good people. When others asked us how s...
tressed we were during the wedding planning process, we could honestly say we weren't stressed because we trusted our vendor. And the wedding day was magical! Danielle gave us photos we will remember forever and DJ John kept the party going all night. Nicole did an incredible job managing the day our friends and family could not stop talking about how much fun they had. Glenhaven Events has fantastic getting ready rooms for uniquely set up for both the bride and groom. We are so thankful we chose this place for our special day and are confident you will be too

Staff treated us like children. Would not serve the guests at the bar before the wedding, we had no place even close to go to. Pulled the food off the buffet right away, so no a...
dditional servings and were rude when we asked for additional bread. Unplugged the photo booth while we were using it. Charged us $6 for shots, then upped it to $10. Guy kept coming up to us telling us not to tap on glass. Told the wedding party how to behave before the wedding.

Hello Brandon,
What may not be obvious to guests coming to a wedding, is that everything ...
is discussed in detail with the wedding couple, over several meetings, and everything is done according to their wishes.
If the couple does not want the bar open before the ceremony, then we keep it closed regardless of what some guests might want. It would be great for business to open it earlier, but we follow their direction.
Wedding meals are not an all you can eat buffet: they are priced and sized appropriately for the group expected to arrive. Once everyone has been served, we wait 15 more minutes, and then we take it down, as we have to get ready for speeches, cake cutting and dance.
The photo booth is opened at the time specified by the couple... typically after the first dance, to ensure there are no noisy distractions during this important moment.
Finally, shots are always priced $10, and we even have a sign posted in the bar "Shots are $10, because we do not really want to sell them to you". Shots rarely lead to a good time.
Overall, everything is planned and executed based on the direction of the paying customer, the wedding couple.
The wedding couple who invited you to this wedding thanked us several times for how the event went.

I don’t even know where to start. George is the owner. He & his entire crew made our day the best day ever. They are part of their own company called “FabWeddings”. They have multi...
ple venues and offer an “all inclusive” experience. Some of my favorite parts of the package is that it included food catering, décor, bar service, day of coordinator, wedding planner, multiple meetings prior to the day of so you know everything that’s going on & feel so comfortable with the planning, DJ, bridesmaid and groomsmen get ready rooms, an arcade downstairs for the girls/guys to play prior to the wedding while we get ready, etc. They also offer video/photo packages. Most of these things are optional, but it’s SO amazing that it’s all offered for easy planning. They literally have everything you’d possibly need. We chose to do an outdoor ceremony (if you choose outdoor, you can move it indoors if bad weather is in the forecast for no extra charge). Then we had the reception indoors. The venue also works with local vendors to coordinate & leave you out of the headache of planning arrival, set up, etc of the services. They arranged the cake, flowers, & food. I didn’t have to worry about A THING! We also chose to have them do our décor. You can do it yourself, but it was so much easier to have them do it! You can bring your own personal items too & they’ll set it up for you. Not to mention the take-down they offer as part of the package!
Food Catering: Brianno’s is the food that is catered to the venue. There are many food package options you can choose from. We chose the “basic/entry level” food package. I can truly say, with Brianno’s there no such thing as “entry level” taste. We did the buffet style with 2 pastas. 1 w/ white sauce (Cavatappi noodles, broccoli & chicken), & 1 w/ red sauce (Penne noodles, Italian sausage & meatballs). It also came with Caesar salad, bread, & their AMAZING dipping sauce.
Rehearsal Coordinators/Day of Coordinators: Employees of Glenhaven. We had our rehearsal at the venue the day before & they helped us set up the wedding party & show how the ceremony would go, how we’d walk out, they played the music, everything.. It made me so much less nervous for the actual ceremony because people actually knew what to expect! Then, the day of they set up everything in the venue for us. Our flowers were delivered, cake, etc. & they got it all put out & displayed as we wanted! They made sure that our party kept on the timeline to get out to the ceremony on time.
Included DJ: DJ Ryan Karstens -- He is also part of the Glenhaven crew. To be honest, I was a little nervous to have a DJ that was part of a “package”. I had never been to a wedding through FabWeddings so I had never personally seen what their DJ’s are like. HE WAS AMAZING! Ryan ran the music outside for the ceremony, & that went perfectly. They have a website where you enter all of the songs you want for each category (Processional, Recessional, First dance, etc.) You can also put the songs you don’t want, & the songs you do want. At the reception he also took requests & there wasn’t a minute that people weren’t flooding the dancefloor. Ryan checked in with me & my husband multiple times throughout the night to ask how he was doing, if we needed anything, etc. He was GREAT!!

Glenhaven was the perfect place for our ceremony and reception! Working with them was easy and smooth. We didn't have to hire outside vendors and there was always great communicati...
on. If you go with Glenhaven we would suggest looking into transportation for guests as that was difficult for us, Uber and Lyft were not as readily available as expected.

My wife and I just got married at Glenhaven on Saturday 11/7/20 and WOW.
From start to finish George Maverick(Owner) and his team were perfect. My wife and I visited three other ...
places before we went to Glenhaven. We immediately dropped all the other plans that we had. George is highly organized yet very flexible with changes. He has a spreadsheet that he sits down with you and tells you every single price up front based on what you want for the wedding. It is an all inclusive approach with his team and affiliations with the bakery, photography, videography, floral, wedding day coordinator, and even hotel/shuttle options. We had no surprises or hidden fees to worry about. We didn't have to coordinate any of the deliveries or find a DJ or worry that things would time out just right.
For the year we spent planning his response time was same day emails or calls as we made decisions and needed advice/help on things that came up. He gives you expert advice while still putting you at the wheel for any decision we wanted to make if it was in his power to make it happen, he did. My wife and I love cats and he literally had his staff in cat ears serving our dinner. We loved it!
On the wedding day Cathy (day of coordinator) was amazing. She kept us on track the entire day and we never felt like she was rushing us. My wife forgot her flowers as she was walking down the aisle and Cathy got them up to her before the ceremony was over and I didn't even know how she did it so smoothly that hardly anyone noticed. This team clearly loves what they do and I can't say enough good things about them.
Long story short we would choose Glenhaven hands down and will recommend it to any of our friends and family looking to have a great wedding. Thank you to Glenhaven for making the best day of our lives possible.

aff made this process move along smoothly and without an issue!! From the get go, we felt the personal touches and attentive staff were beyond helpful! From food tasting, to rescheduling, to rehearsal and wedding day we always felt like they went above and beyond! Emails were always answered quickly and planning was easy with their services and help!! The staff...wow! Kathy the coordinator seemed to know just what we needed before we even asked! She was fun, sweet, personable, available and made the day go without stress! The bartender, servers, clean up team- ALL were fun and made the day even better. We felt like family.
Thank you to George and his staff for an incredible day! We want to do it all over! We would highly recommend this venue! Beautiful bridal and grooms rooms and use of the facilities made us feel comfortable and right at home.
