I had the privilege of photographing a wedding on New Years Eve at the Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia, New York! The space was beautiful and had spots to take pictures both inside and outside. Not every venue has a designated bridal attendant and that made it so much easier as a photographer to have someone to help me with the bride's dress during the photos! Overall a good experience and such a great space to celebrate the New Year!

My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Glen Sanders on 10/13/23. One of the features of this venue that secured our decision, was the convenience factor. We had approximately 210 guests attend and being able to get ready in the bridal suites and man cave, host the ceremony, reception/cocktail hour, afterparty AND accommodate lodging for our bridal parties + families (17 people), made things much more streamlined. In addition, since Mazzone owns the venue, having them cater the food allowed us to “bundle” the costs of food, alcohol and venue. This is a beautiful venue as well. They took measures to make sure their landscaping and outward/inward appearance were perfect, prior to the wedding.Preparations- once we had chosen Glen Sanders as our venue, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie R as our sales planner. I can’t convey enough how helpful she was throughout the entire process, prior to the wedding. She helped us choose our menu based on a target per head price and customize it as requested, coordinate and organize all details regarding the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, coordinate with some of our vendors, but most importantly answered every question we had with patience, speed and effectiveness. She was incredibly organized and it helped keep track of the million details at play.Day of- In addition Glen Sanders provides an event manager, who helps with the setup of all décor, the rehearsal, coordinating background details for event staff, facilitated progression of bridal party on the day of for pics/introductions/processions/etc. We worked with Leslie P, who has a wealth of knowledge about everything Glen Sanders, having worked there for 20+ years. She was thorough, present, patient, pleasant and helpful, with everything the day prior to and the day of the wedding.Lastly Glen Sanders ALSO provides a day of attendant, we worked with Maki. Maki also has a wealth of knowledge regarding bustling dresses and the inner workings of weddings at Glen Sanders. She served to assist with anything my husband or I needed throughout the day of the wedding. This included bustling my dress as well as fluffing it, holding flowers and my dress during picture changes, getting us food/drinks, and much more. Maki was an absolute sweetheart as well and made things go incredibly smoothly.Food- coming from an enormous Italian family, it was essential that the food was tasty. We had the 3 stations and 3 hand passed bites- all delicious and replenished throughout cocktail hour. People loved the dinners as well as the cake!Lodging- we worked with Jennifer for lodging at GSM and she was incredibly helpful. We made so many changes throughout and she was accommodating throughout! In addition, the rooms were reasonably priced and spacious/beautiful/ very clean. They have an awesome breakfast nook to curb the hangover the following morning ?.

Simply outstanding. We found ourselves at Glen Sanders Mansion after another local venue abruptly canceled our daughter’s wedding because they thought they were going to be under construction. Thank God that happened. We brought the couple to a few other venues in the rush to rebook their wedding. They loved Glen Sanders and booked their date with them. Since that time the staff at GS has been absolutely attentive and professional with every aspect of the event planning process. The wedding was this past Sunday and the event was flawless. Every detail and every aspect of the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and breakfast the morning after was above and beyond. The entire staff from the event planners and couple’s attendant, kitchen and wait staff were absolutely phenomenal. You gave the couple a wedding day that they will never forget.

On 5/26/2023, I had the absolute pleasure of DJing an unforgettable wedding at Glan Sanders Mansion, and I must say, they completely blew me away. From start to finish, their attention to detail was simply impeccable. I cannot praise Lesley and her staff enough for their incredible dedication and meticulous approach to making every moment count.First and foremost, the venue's grounds and the picturesque landscape of the ceremony area were nothing short of breathtaking. The natural beauty surrounding the estate provided a stunning backdrop, enhancing the overall atmosphere of romance and enchantment. The meticulously maintained gardens and elegant architecture truly added an extra touch of magic to the event.Once inside, the grand ballroom of Glan Sanders Mansion continued to impress. The exquisite design and tasteful decor created an ambiance that was both refined and welcoming. The spacious layout allowed for seamless transitions between different segments of the wedding, ensuring an effortless flow of energy throughout the evening.Lesley and her staff deserve a special mention for their exceptional professionalism and unwavering dedication. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the event planning process. From coordinating the timeline to liaising with vendors, they left no stone unturned, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Their helpful and knowledgeable approach truly made a significant difference and eased the burden on both the couple and myself as the DJ.Now, let's talk about the food. It was nothing short of amazing. The culinary team at Glan Sanders Mansion delivered a culinary experience that was not only visually stunning but also tantalized the taste buds. The menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a wide array of delicious options that catered to different palates. The attention to flavors, presentation, and overall quality of the cuisine exceeded all expectations, leaving both guests and vendors thoroughly impressed.In conclusion, my experience at Glan Sanders Mansion was nothing short of extraordinary. Lesley and her staff's attention to detail, their incredible assistance, and their extensive knowledge truly elevated the event to new heights. The captivating beauty of the grounds and the elegant ballroom provided the perfect setting for a truly magical wedding celebration.

Yesterday my husband and I got married at the Glen Sanders. The venue was gorgeous. I have unfortunately been experiencing neurological issues lately and I was scared about being able to make it through the full wedding day. The staff at Glen Sanders made sure to take care of me the best they could with my current physical limitations. Every single staff member made a lasting positive impression. Maki was there by my side for the better part of the day. It's a helpless feeling when you can't control how your body will tolerate things from minute to minute. But Maki made every physical effort to support me and I will forever remember her kindness and compassion whenever I think of my wedding day. I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue. It's beautiful, the food is phenomenal, and the staff was incredible. The morning after there was a hiccup and the girl who was working the front desk was very understanding which meant a lot to me. I asked for her name so I could specifically say thank you, but my brain is still struggling and I cannot remember her name. I hope that the managers at Glen Sanders can check to see who was working at 10:30 today and give her the praise she deserves as well. If you are getting married and want to be supported and treated in the best way possible, please consider the Glen Sanders Mansion!

This venue is a true hidden gem. It was an absolute DREAM to have our wedding reception here. We are from out-of-state and so we were looking for a venue large enough for our family & one that offered onsite lodging. The rooms at the inn are incredible and feel like a five-star hotel. I absolutely loved being able to have access to the pub after the reception to spend more time with our family & bridal party. Our wedding guests were in complete awe of the entire venue! The team that work here are AMAZING. I personally want to thank Gabriela the event planner at Glen Sanders – you were so incredible & made the process very easy, despite being in a pandemic. You made us feel so special and like we were the only couple you were working with. Thank you to the entire team that helped put on our wedding. I wish I could relive the day over & over. We 100% plan to book an anniversary trip to spend more time in the Inn!

I attended a wedding at the Glen Sanders Mansion a bit ago, the venue is gorgeous and the outdoor firepit a very cool place to hang out when the wedding got too weddingly lol. My personal feeling is that they need to step up the food game. During the appetizer hour the shrimp and the meatballs were good, the little (cheese steak?) sandwiches were pretty greasy. At dinner, the salads seemed plated and dressed well beforehand (mostly cores with soggy croutons). The beef dish was good (I had a bite of someone's) the chicken (parm) was not good at all.
