Glen Sanders Mansion

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 cant 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 dcor, 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 daughters 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 couples attendant, kitchen and wait staff were absolutely phenomenal. You gave the couple a wedding day that they will never forget.
