From the reviews

We had the most amazing wedding at Glen Foerd in July 2025. Despite a very rainy few weeks, our day was pitch perfect with blue skies, a light breeze and no cloud in sight! Kelly and the team were amazing to work with and were very patient and helpful in answering my millions of emails.

Glen Foerd was the perfect wedding venue. From the very beginning, they were incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and well organized. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and we were lucky enough to have an outdoor ceremony in October. The staff were an absolute ball and helped make the day so much fun.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jan 2026

Glen Foerd is absolutely breathtaking. It is the most stunningly elegant, yet natural, indoor/outdoor venue that is also on the water, which was exactly what we were looking for.
