Text listing to mobile

This elegant estate — with 18 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, lush gardens and a perfect-for-ceremonies wrought-iron gazebo overlooking the Delaware River — offers a grand Victorian mansion to host up to 136 guests for a sit-down dinner, or 155 for stations, catered by Conroy Catering (the mansion is one of their exclusive venues). Glen Foerd also offers some uncommon features, including an art gallery and rathskeller, and couples can hold their ceremony in the light-filled Riverside Conservatory — attached to the mansion with a brick-and-flagstone terrace — or in the refined drawing room. Dancing takes place in the conservatory, with its clear sidewalls, old-world chandeliers and roof with wrought-iron details.
