Glen Island Harbour Club

Has anyone had or been to a wedding at the Glen Island Harbor Club? We went to check it out and the area was beautiful, the food seems fantastic, the price was right, etc. The only problem is, that I never imagined myself getting married at a catering hall in New Rochelle (even if it is on the Long Island Sound).  I can't seem to get passed that, and don't want to miss out on a potentially great wedding because of my preconcieved notions of what my wedding should be.  Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

I know people who been and they said it was really good. If you have an dea in your head I know its hard to get used to something different, but if you really liked the place and can envision you and your guests entering and partying in that space, then I say go for it. 

GL!

I had my wedding there in October and it was great.  Everyone raved about the setting, the food and the service.  We also got gorgeous pictures with the various settings in the park.

Thanks everyone. I was feeling kind of down, because it wasn't my original vision, but sometimes reality gets in the way. It really is such a beautiful place and everyone writes great reviews.

I'm not big on posting but I HAD to reply to this one.  I'm getting married at Glen Island this summer and it was absolutely NOTHING like the vision I had.  I wanted a smaller wedding at a castle or a mansion or a winery and spent three weekends looking at various locations.  I loved a number of the places but there was always a "but".

It's so charming but the bathrooms need to be updated.  It's so unique but the flow from the ceremony to the cocktail to the reception is awkward.  It's so interesting but I think they're exaggerating when they say this space can hold 180 people. ; )

We stopped by Glen Island at the very last minute, on our way back to home to the city, and expected to walk away from this 'wedding factory'. But we fell in love instantly.  It is so grand and so beautiful BUT it's a catering hall.  Not to sound snobbish (AT ALL) but that's just not what I envisioned.  I have to tell you that we are so thrilled and so excited.  Everyone we have mentioned it to has said how amazing it is and how wonderful the food is and how great the staff is.

The best part is that all they do are these grand events!  They know exactly what to do and how to do it and the place is designed for a wedding.  We cannot wait and we are so over the fact that we're not getting married on an estate or in a castle.  We were over it as soon as we saw the ceremony room. 

We've lined up some great vendors and everyone has worked there a number of times which makes it so much easier.  If you need any other info, just ask.

We had our wedding at Glen Island Harbour Club on June 10th, 2012. It was absolutely perfect... We worked with Rodney. He was so easy to get in touch without throughout our whole engagement and was amazingly accommodating. He allowed us to use two suites for the bridesmaids so pictures could overlook the water. He also packed my husband and I a doggie bag of food, knowing that the bride and groom never get a chance to eat at their wedding. We were also amazed at the impeccable service during the wedding. The second I even looked like I needed anything, the bridal attendant was by my side. Calista was my bridal assistant and she catered to all of my needs happily she was wonderful. During the wedding, Rodney was the behind the scenes man. He made sure everything ran completely smoothly. There wasn't the slightest glitch in service, or really, at all.  The venue is gorgeous, we had our ceremony room in the chapel upstairs, our cocktail on the balcony overlooking the water and the reception in the room with floor to ceiling windows that overlook the water. Our guests were floored by the breathtaking view. We were also told that ours had the best food of any wedding they had ever been to and the steak was better than restaurants in the city! Also, the amount and quality of food at cocktail hour was raved about by everybody who attended.  Though I'm sure the bride and groom are always biased about their day, I really do feel that our wedding day was perfect.  Our guests were blown away and are still talking about our wedding.  As for us, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding and we know Glen Island played a huge role in making our day one to remember we wouldn't have changed a thing.  We are begging our friends to have their weddings at Glen Island so we can experience the venue from a guest's perspective! We recommend this venue with complete confidence that your day will be perfect there as well.
