This place felt like a dream when we first toured. They checked all our boxes. The rehearsal dinner is where things got a little rocky. The wedding planner “misplaced” our deposit so scared me (the bride) to death. Then it was not communicated properly that it was a tab bar. No biggie but that should have been communicated. The girl in charge of the room blocks Denyelle was awful. She wouldn’t answer emails and at the rehearsal admitted that she saw my email but didn’t respond. Our day of coordinator was amazing and made sure we had all that we needed. The day after we packed up and left, when we were going through everything we realized a lot was missing. The brides day of pajamas, dress bag, clothing rack, gifts to the parents, gifts to the flower girls and ring bearers all GONE. We went up to the venue and they said they hadn’t seen any of it. So all of these items just disappeared from the bridal suite at the venue without a trace. A MONTH after our wedding we get an email from bookkeeping that we owe a little under $2k for unbooked rooms from the room block. Which in the contract it states Glasbern will automatically release those rooms a month before the wedding. So, all in all..a beautiful place to get married, food is absolutely amazing. Communication and organization of everyone there is absolutely horrible. When you try to call anyone they never answer. Gavin from the front desk is the only person who actively communicated to us while on site and he has nothing to do with the event side of things! I have never been so stressed in my life and this is supposed to be a happy time, I just got married right?
The Glasbern was a perfect venue for our wedding! We had it in the GlasLoft due to our smaller guest list (85) and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The staff was incredibly helpful in the months leading up and on the day of, and we received so many compliments on the venue and the hotel rooms.
We absolutely loved having our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at Glasbern! The venue is stunningly beautiful and all staff were friendly and great to work with. They took care of everything and made the planning process easier for us. The food was so good and high quality. As soon as we first toured this venue we knew it was the perfect place for us for our wedding day and we would recommend Glasbern to anyone looking for a tasty, beautiful, rustic and relaxed wedding day.
The Glasbern was the perfect venue for my daughter's Christmas Eve wedding. The countryside setting was stunning, with its mix of rustic and modern amenities. The coordinator and her team were incredible, assuring every detail my daughter requested was not only met, but exceeded her expectations! For example, moving her fully decorated Christmas trees from the ceremony site to the reception in the Glass Loft room (across a cobblestone courtyard) without one ball or light out of place! The team was personable and professional throughout the planning stages to the wedding day. No question was left unanswered. All vendors were accommodated without any issues. They even provided lighting and mirrors in the bridal suite for her hair and makeup.
The food was amazing! Cocktail hour had an wonderful rustic Italian charcuterie that included roasted vegetables --so delicious! Since the wedding was a small, intimate family event, we were able to choose from a select menu rather than having a pre-determined dinner. (This was perfect for the size reception we had). Every meal came out hot and was prepared perfectly.
I can say confidently that our daughter's wedding day was perfect thanks to the Glasbern and the staff. I highly recommend them.
I want to offer my candid assessment of the Glasbern Inn as a professional wedding officiant of many years' experience in the Lehigh Valley. Glasbern is a special wedding venue not only for its exceptional beauty and location, but also because of the high quality of its staff and the standards they hold themselves to. Every wedding I've officiated at Glasbern has run smoothly, with meticulous attention to detail. And although I don't attend wedding receptions after officiating the wedding ceremony, I know from dining at Glasbern myself that the food is outstanding. It's easy to recommend this special, gorgeous venue!
Bradley and I got married on Christmas Eve at the Glasbern Inn! The venue was the perfect fit for our cozy Christmas wedding. I stayed in their Garden Cottage the day before the wedding. It has beautiful stone fireplaces, which was perfect for relaxing and getting ready. Our coordinator, Megan, was very detail-oriented and accommodating. She made the wedding such an easy process for us. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful the day of our wedding. They put together our dream wedding with every detail that we envisioned. We are extremely happy we chose the Glasbern Inn as our venue.
Can’t say enough good things- venue is beautiful, guests loved the food, and Megan took excellent care of us during the entire planning process! She is organized, on top of everything, responsive to communications, and really genuinely cares that your event turns out the way you’ve dreamed. Many of our family members stayed overnight at Glasbern, as did we, and all had positive feedback about the rooms, breakfast, and accommodations. We can’t wait to come back soon for dinner and a weekend getaway 😊
My daughter recently had her wedding at Glasbern on
Dec 9 and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the venue, the grounds, the food and all of the employees it was wonderful! Megan was awesome and so responsive to every one of our numerous requests from the first time we met her. Everything that you need is at Glasbern from the Rehearsal dinner to start the weekend to breakfast in their beautiful dining room the day after. I highly recommend Glasbern for weddings!
We almost booked our wedding with Glasbern and didn’t because they were incredibly unorganized. They couldn’t keep straight when our original tour was and then we met with them again and after we decided to book Meghan then realized she had already booked the date a month prior, even though we’d spoken earlier that week and she didn’t mention our date was no longer available. She then tried get us to take the smaller space which she had prior said we wouldn’t fit in. It just felt very unorganized and/or intentionally dishonest. I’m very glad we did not book with them. Considering the price and the fact that they do up to two weddings a night you’d hope they’d have more of an ability to stay organized and know what’s going on. Incredibly beautiful venue but I just don’t think the staff has it all together.
Edit based on vendor response: to be clear it is a bit of a mischaracterization for the vender to just say that it had been a month, as if we showed up to dinner and she didn’t look it up for us in that moment. There were emails going back and forth in the time between, including just a few days before March 19th, letting her know were feeling ready to book our date and wanted to come for dinner and to look around again to get to experience our venue alone as a couple. During these discussions she had prior information of the date and didn’t realize she’d booked it already, which was in line with my other experiences dealing with the venue which is why I gave the feedback I don’t think they’re as organized as they should be. The alternative dates were given after a voicemail was left by Megan apologizing for her mistake and suggesting we go into their smaller space which we were told prior was too small for us. I agree with the characterization we didn’t book because I didn’t trust the venue anymore and that’s why we didn’t go forward.
The bottom line is that I don’t think we could’ve chosen a better venue for our wedding. We visited for a tour in March of 2022 and fell in love, despite not being able to see it during the fall. It had everything we wanted: beautiful grounds, convenient accommodation, amazing food, and the versatility to tailor it all to what we wanted for ourselves and our guests.
We’d already loved what we were getting with Glasbern, but I think we were most surprised and impressed with the attention and care we received throughout our stay. We were lucky enough to be able to spend 2 days before the wedding and really experience the place without the whirlwind of planned wedding activities. The Garden Cottage was even better than we’d hoped – it was private, beautiful and so comfortable. We treated ourselves to a couples massage at the spa, which was a great move with how quickly the pace quickened afterwards. We hosted our rehearsal dinner in the Grainery, and the food, drinks, and atmosphere were perfect.
Megan had been our point-of-contact for months, and I can’t thank her enough for her seemingly unending patience for my many MANY emails and questions. Hazel was our event manager starting with the rehearsal, and she was on top of everything. Even a day before the wedding, there were things we hadn’t considered, and she handled them all! We went over our mountain of bins and decoration and favors, and she was able to turn my vague direction into something magical. On the day of the wedding, I met Morgan who was everywhere I needed her to be ALL DAY. She had an uncanny knack for popping up out of nowhere, often immediately before I needed her. I had spent 1.5 years worrying about every little thing, and all that anxiety melted away, thanks to these ladies!
All the staff we encountered were wonderful and so friendly. It really felt like everyone just wanted us to have a worry-free great time, and I think we all did. I’ve heard nothing but praise from our family and friends.
For the weeks leading up to our wedding day, the weather forecast showed rain for our wedding day. During the 2 days we stayed beforehand, the weather was gorgeous, so we walked the grounds to soak in how beautiful it was, knowing we weren’t going to be so lucky for our special day. On the morning of the wedding, Morgan stopped by with white umbrellas (another really lovely touch by Glasbern). While I’m sure we still would’ve had amazing photo opportunities in rain, we didn’t have to find out because everything cleared up right before we were ready for photos. Everywhere you looked was just beautiful. We haven’t received our photos from the photographer yet, but I can’t wait to see them.
I am certain that I’m forgetting details and personal touches because there were so many, but we were both so impressed with how smoothly things went and how beautiful everything was. No wedding is going to be cheap, but we felt like our money was well spent for how perfect everything was. Thank you Glasbern!
Glasbern hosted our wedding and the team did a fantastic job from the night of our rehearsal to the wedding ceremony/reception. The team was extremely detailed oriented and kept the bride in the loop with every decision. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special and memorable for us. The food was excellent and all of guests enjoyed the rooms at the Packhouse.
The Glasbern Inn made our Wedding day a dream come true! The staff, grounds, and wedding coordinators were all fabulous to work with from day one. Communication, professionalism, organization, and planning were all exceptional while orchestrating all the many details for our Wedding day. All of our guest could not get over how absolutely gorgeous the entire property was! We could not be more happy with the Glasbern Inn and we cannot wait to celebrate our anniversary there in years to come.
If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue..
Glasbern is the one! From the start Megan and Morgan had everything covered perfectly. They are the most incredible wedding planning team! It rained on our big day but you would have never known. They made last minute changes and made sure that EVERYTHING about our day ran smoothly. The food was beyond incredible, staff truly cared about our event and were kind to all of our guests, and Glasbern grounds are something from a fairytale. The whole day was perfect and it wouldn't have been made possible without Glasbern, Megan, Morgan, and the rest of the amazing event planning team and staff at Glasbern. It was the best day ever. If I could do it all again tomorrow I would pick Glasbern!
Our wedding was on May 6, 2023 at the Glasbern Inn and it was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for a romantic and outdoor Venue that has everything in one place, you should consider Glasbern. I wanted a beautiful location where we could be married outside, that also provided food and alcohol on site, and also had hotel rooms for our family and bridal party to stay on site. Glasbern had it all. We were fortunate with beautiful weather, but even the "rain" location had the beautiful scenery I wanted for our photos.
The Team at Glasbern was accommodating to our group and I found everyone easy to work with as I planned our wedding.
During the planning process, there was a staffing change with our coordinator, so I began working with the new coordinator, Megan, and she was absolutely amazing!!! Megan is kind and she cares about making your event everything you hope it will be. I feel that she went above and beyond for us and she was constantly professional and responsive to all of my questions and to everything I needed during the planning process and our wedding weekend.
We had about 150 Wedding guests and our reception was in the Grand Lodge. The Event Staff made the entire evening from set up to cocktail hour to dinner and beyond run smoothly. Megan and her Team kept track of our schedule and I did not have to worry about anything. We also received many compliments from our guests about the outstanding food and dinner service they received.
Staying on site made everything super easy for us and our families. We got to have a 3-night party and everyone enjoyed themselves. The rooms were clean and the linens are fresh. They even left a bottle of champagne with chocolate strawberries in our bridal suite and that was a nice touch.
Glasbern will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we very much look forward to visiting again. To everyone who helped make our event a success, we cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. It was truly the best weekend ever.
The Glasbern Inn was the best place for us to get married. The staff was incredible and our wedding coordinator, Kelsey, made sure that no question was left unanswered. From having the majority of our guests stay on property to the amazing fall back drop we truly had the wedding of our dreams. If we could do it all over again we one hundred percent would. If you are looking to get married in or around the Lehigh Valley area the Glasbern is the best place to do so! My now husband and I cannot wait to go back to stay on property and relive the most amazing experience of our lives for future anniversaries and celebrations!
My wedding was perfect. I cannot rate Glasbern and the team there highly enough. They are extremely thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our day as perfect and stress-free as possible. I want to emphasize again – they made our day as stress-free as possible.
To begin, the venue is beautiful. The landscape and rustic-yet-modernized buildings provide a gorgeous backdrop without being overly formal or pretentious, or too rustic. It is easy to decorate to make it a bit more formal or a bit more casual, depending on your tastes. Someone called it "organic modern," which I think describes it perfectly.
The staff is amazing. Kelsey was always very responsive in answering our (very many) questions leading up to our wedding day. Morgan attended to us day-of, basically acting as a day-of coordinator. She was phenomenal. She took all our things from our room (extra décor, card boxes, escort cards, signs, favors, programs) and set everything up for us so we did not need to do any decorating or venue preparation. Glasbern staff coordinated with all our vendors so we did not need to do anything on our wedding day except get ready. People pay thousands to hire someone to do these services, but Glasbern included it all in our package.
The staff were all extremely thoughtful. They brought a giant plate of pastries, fruit, and yogurt to our getting ready rooms so we had breakfast. They prepared a plate full of all our passed hors d'oeuvres to bring to us to make sure we got to taste everything we wanted. At the end of the evening, the team packaged up all our décor and card boxes and things from the reception so all we had to do was pick up the boxes the next morning. Other venues we looked at would have made us clean everything ourselves before the reception ended.
And, of course, the food is phenomenal. We had plenty of food, it all came out timely, and it was delicious.
I could not be happier with choosing Glasbern as our venue.
Where to even begin! Kelsey and her team go ABOVE AND BEYOND! From the first time we met, Kelsey was extremely attentive to all of our requests and inquiries. She responded to our emails quickly and with such kindness and reassurance. She always tried to fulfill every request, and if she couldn’t, she would suggest a comparable solution.
Kelsey even went above and beyond with our menu tasting! My family and I were disappointed with the first menu tasting (the Glasbern was transitioning between Chefs and hadn’t found the right fit yet). When we expressed this to Kelsey, she immediately reassured us that she would bring us in for a second tasting when they found their permanent Chef. And let me tell you, the food the second time around was AMAZING! The food day of was AMAZING! The new Chef is a James Beard award winner and focuses on Farm to Table cuisine. The freshness and flavor of each dish was to die for.
And on our wedding day, the day of coordinators, Morgan and Megan I believe, as well as the staff were so attentive and on top of things. My husband, myself, and my parents didn’t have to worry about a thing! The staff made sure each table had drinks and water during dinner service and always asked if anyone needed anything. Special shout out to Arden for making sure our sweetheart table was well maintained! Myself and all of our guests were so impressed! I kept having family and friends come up to me saying how personable and attentive the staff was. The coordinators also kept track of time for us too so we didn’t even have to worry about forgetting anything or running out of time.
I cannot recommend this venue enough! They made our day care free, stress free, special, and fun!
ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED! As a same sex couple we were pleasantly surprised how welcoming and attentive the Glasbern team were.
Our first visit with Kelsey was very organized, informative and outlined everything we should expect and account for. We were not only given a tour but pricing, a list of vendors and examples of what others have done.
Throughout this whole experience, Kelsey stayed in communication and assisted throughout. She was very responsive and attentive to us and the details of our wedding. As far as room bookings, we worked with Collen who simplified and explained everything. He was flexible and understanding.
Well if that wasnt enough, let me tell you about the white glove treatment we rec for our rehearsal dinner. Faith & Kelsey was AMAZING. These two literally walked us through the whole wedding ceremony. They were professional but made it fun. They gave suggestions and gave feedback. Kelsey even helped me add in a last minute surprise for my blushing bride lol.
The BIG DAY, we woke up to a nice hot big breakfast and shortly after a knock on the door. We answer and there stands Faith with a huge smile asking “what do you need, i am here”! We go up to see how everything looks (decor), exactly what we wanted-not one thread undone. We meet Megan who is our “day of coordinator”. another big bright and welcoming smile. All we did was get dress because the team did it all.
The food, OUTSTANDING! They had something for everyone and enough to feed an army. GO CHEF MICHAEL (Hat off)! Bartender was Jim, who made us feel like we owned the place! They actually schedule the same bartender for rehearsal and wedding (great idea). The “High Fashioned” was a huge hit.
just when you think, oh well they are done. NO, the next day they packed everything neatly same way we had it in containers and came to see us off and congratulate us again.
As a same sex couple we fear being treated differently and unwelcomed, But Glasbern Inn hands treated us with the upmost respect and genuine kindness to ensure our day to remember. If you are looking for a venue that pays attention to detail, puts your personal interest at heart and offers white glove treatment check out Glasbern and request Kelsey and her team, I promise they wont disappoint.
Our friends and family are still talking about it and we will be back for our 1 year anniversary because the beautiful grounds is beautiful.
The Glasbern Inn provided the most beautiful setting for our wedding this past May. With flash flooding forecasted for the big day, we made the decision to relocate the ceremony from the outdoor space to under the covered pickleball pavilion and honestly wondered why we didn't pick that to begin with - it was gorgeous and to be honest, this "Plan B" was one of the (many) reasons we picked Glasbern - you honestly can't go wrong here...everything is beautiful, peaceful and serene - rain or shine you will have an incredible celebration at this venue. Our wedding coordinator Kelsey was top notch and we knew we were in great hands with her and the rest of the amazing Glasbern team. We had the most perfect wedding celebration and will always hold a special place in our hearts for the Glasbern Inn.
PS-We had our reception in the Grand Lodge which was lovely; however, the more intimate Glasloft space is also gorgeous (we just had too many guests to be in there). We loved both spaces so much we had our rehearsal dinner there and were so grateful that we could enjoy both wedding spaces!
I could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding! First off, the grounds and landscaping at The Glasbern are unmatched. No matter where you are on the property, photos come out beautifully because of all of the beautiful plants and landscaping there. All of our wedding guests (most of who made a weekend out of our wedding and stayed at the Inn both Friday and Saturday nights) loved exploring the land, and some of them even took advantage of spa treatments the day before!
What I really loved most about The Glasbern was the staff and their flexibility with any requests my husband and I had. Although they have set menus and rules for things, they were more than accommodating with any special request that we had in order to have it be the perfect day. From our coordinator, to the inn staff, to the bar tenders, all of the staff was warm and accommodating, which was so appreciated.
And the food... I can't get over how good it was! All of our guests raved about the appetizers, then raved even more about our meal.
I still can't get over how flawlessly our wedding weekend was executed by the team at The Glasbern and I wish I could do it all over again!
My husband, Bruce, and I chose this venue for our wedding 9/2/22 and could not be happier!! The venue itself is absolutely stunning in every aspect and the staff was exceptional in their professionalism, friendliness, and eagerness to make our big day as perfect as possible! My expectations were exceeded in every aspect as they managed to make our wedding more perfect than I could have ever imagined! I would highly recommend the Glasbern to anyone and everyone who is looking for stunning backdrops, beautiful venues, and wonderful people for their big day!!
The Glasbern was a beautiful venue. Staff was accommodating and easy to work with prior to the event. The event was great- food was fabulous and our guests raved about it afterwards. Would recommend the Glasbern without reservation!
My husband and I had our wedding here in June, and everything was perfect! Kelsey, Morgan, and the whole Glasbern staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious!! Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how great the food was, and our vendors appreciated how kind and welcoming the Glasbern staff was. It was truly a fairytale wedding with the perfect indoor and outdoor setup!
We had an amazing wedding at the Glasbern on 6/11/22. The grounds, the wedding staff & the food were all best in class. I'd like to specifically call out that the bridal assistant, Morgan, did an amazing job on our wedding day. She made sure we had everything we needed & even helped our photographers find spots for the best pictures that we took that day. Matthew, the groundskeeper, helped us set up the pack house conference room for getting ready & brought us hot breakfast... he was incredible the whole week we were there, helping us with whatever we needed. Overall, it was a great experience & I'm so happy I got married at the glasbern.
The part of the experience that was a bit challenging was more on the hotel. Our guests had an immensely challenging time making reservations under our wedding block... I (the bride) didn't even get a call back when I tried to extend my reservation at the Glasbern. We brought this up with Kelsey a few times & the hotel never seemed to fix the issue.
I'd still highly recommend getting married here - just know the hotel block might be a bit painful!
Cannot talk highly enough about the Glasbern as a wedding venue! Such a beautiful location, the staff were amazing, huge shout out to Kelsey for keeping me sane during my wedding day. However, the booking of the hotel for our guests was a constant headache, and one member of our family got to the hotel only to find out that his reservation had been accidentally candled. Highly recommend it as a location to get married, but know that the room block can be a headache.
The pros: The Director of Sales is classy, elegant, highly attentive, professional and she made the wedding event smooth and carefree. The pricing was fair and the facility is incredibly beautiful and well kept. The wedding food menu was okay, but the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Beware, they do book various events for the same date but as far as venues, it didn’t overlap.
The cons: The Glasbern lodging was beautiful and comfortable. However, there were a lot of mix ups with my booking, communication was highly difficult, and staff was often inaccessible. After arrival, they did genuinely tried to rectify the errors. The lodging team was inexperienced. I had no contact with any housekeeping staff, and the Inn Keeper entered my room without knocking because he erroneously thought it was a vacant room. They did send a card, a lovely bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries to our room, as an apology. They made mistakes, however, the front desk staffs’ attitudes throughout the weekend were so pleasant and it made it difficult to be mad! Overall, if I had to do it again, again I would choose the Glasbern for our wedding. But granted, the Inn Keeping staff needs training and organizational skills!!
After looking at multiple sites for a smaller, intimate wedding, with a rustic feel, we found The Glasbern Inn and it met 100% of our criteria. The staff was fantastic, especially on the day of wedding. Our event planner went above and beyond to make sure everything was planned and perfect. They made last minute changes with the weather that we were not even aware was an option!! Our guests all commented on how great the wedding was (food, venue, staff). We couldn't be more thrilled with our special day.
I'll start with the obvious...this place is breathtaking. You drive in and are BLOWN AWAY. The moment me and my now husband drove in we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We originally met with Amber and then were transitioned off to Joanna. As a bride, I will say that I was frustrated with the lack of response leading up until my final wedding meeting. I would send multiple emails and get no response. I'm in the hospitality industry myself so the lack of response was extremely frustrating and I hope a learning for the venue. I was super empathetic and calm throughout the experience so I think that helped at the very end because I HAD A MAGICAL WEDDING, I tried my best to be as understanding as possible as I know we got married at one of their busiest times of the year but again we paid a lot of money so was hoping for top notch service. That was my only compliant which is why I'm not scoring them a 5. The day of our wedding we had 100% attention. They accommodated everything we asked for. They don't have a very large team which was surprising because Joanna wore 12 DIFFERENT HATS. I don't know how they do it but they need a larger team. My guests were blown away by this venue. Everyone LOVED THE FOOD, the ambiance, the service. No one had any complaints. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT PERFECT. Some SMALL bumps a long the way but I think it's a lack of The Glasbern having a big team. They have limited hands. Regardless....I'm so thankful to Joanna and Brandy! Joanna I dont know how you did it all BUT MY WEDDING WAS PERFECTION. Brandy took care of my dog the entire wedding. WE COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HER. GET MARRIED HERE. IT'S MAGICAL.
I recently got married here and it was a nightmare. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and the rooms are for the most part gorgeous. However, everything about my wedding day was a disaster. To start, trying to book a room is next to impossible. You call and call and get sent to a voicemail and rarely receive a call back. My guests continuously complained they hadn't heard back weeks before my wedding, adding stress I didn't need. Please note- if you order the glasbern chicken, you will be served a mix of thighs and breasts. Something I was never told. So some of my guests had breasts while others had thighs- many complained to me about it after the fact. I had sent an updated seating chart a couple weeks before the wedding, and they had the wrong amount of tables set up (luckily it was caught before everyone walked in to take their seats only because my mom called me in to make sure it was being set up to my liking- to which Amber was rolling her eyes at me while my mom was simply trying to help). We had changes to our salad that they failed to accommodate, they never put out the cake I had in the back so all my other desserts disappeared leaving some people to not get anything. One of my aunts has a severe onion allergy, something I noted in the seating chart, and was served chives- she didn't eat a thing that night. There were no tables set up at cocktail hour- so my guests had nowhere to put down their plates and drinks. I personally feel as though the bigger wedding gets all of the attention. I had a 64 person wedding at the Glasloft. The biggest issue is you are tossed between people. I first met with Joanna, then was pushed to Amber, and then my day of person was Brandy- so all of the communication between the 3 of them gets lost. Had I had the same person from day one, maybe my review would be different. And to top it all off, I have emailed them my list of complaints and issues I've had and they are completely ignoring me at this point. So please, think twice before you decide to get married here. It's NOT cheap, and the service you get for what you pay for is not worth the price.
From our first visit, the husband and I absolutely fell in love with this location. The gardens/grounds, accommodations, and intimacy of the venue was something our guests were raving about all weekend. Additionally, Joanna and Brandy were THE BEST wedding coordinators we could have asked for. From all the planning meetings to day of chaos, they handled everything beautifully and were an absolute joy to work with. Cannot say enough how much this venue and staff contributed to the success of our wedding. Thank you!!!
From day one, Amber and Joanna at The Glasbern made the wedding planning experience a breeze. I planned my own wedding during the pandemic and every time I spoke with them, they put my mind at ease. When it came to the day of our wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing. We had quite a few vendors and Joanna handled everything. She made the day run so smoothly and decorated the spaces better than I could have imagined. But the best part, not only did they take care of us exceptionally well, but they also took care of our guests. It was probably little things to them but made a world of difference to our guests. They set the bar high for all other wedding venues and more than delivered. I could go on and on about them but my best advice is if you're even considering The Glasbern, stop looking and just book them! You won't regret it.
Plus, the grounds are stunning any time of year!
We had a small intimate wedding here. First, I fell in love with the grounds. It’s so beautiful, intimate, and romantic. As soon as your arrive you just feel at peace. Joanna and Brandi helped us coordinate our event and they were beyond amazing. They’re so thoughtful and patient throughout the whole process and do whatever to make sure the big day goes smoothly and is exactly what you want. Additionally, the food and service there is fantastic! We will definitely be going back to stay on the grounds. Highly recommend for any event!
Glasbern saved my wedding! My original venue cancelled on us 2 weeks prior to our wedding. My makeup artist recommended that I reach out to Amber at Glasbern. Amber jumped in and saved the day. I was so grateful that I was able to have my micro wedding at a beautiful location, and Amber made sure my day ran smoothly. She literally took care of all the details for me. In the end, I am so happy that things worked out the way they did, and I could not have been happier with my experience and how accommodating and helpful Amber and Glasbern was!
We cannot say enough great things about Glasbern's location, ambience and the staff! We changed venues two weeks prior to our event in January 2021, and Glasbern's staff made this process seamless.
We would not have been able to pull this event off with such detail in our time constraints if it were not for the help of Joanna, Director of Events. Joanna was able to answer every question that we had and was always one step ahead of us to make sure we had everything accounted for and that no detail was missed. She made the day the most memorable, and we would recommend the Glasbern to any couple that is looking for a venue.
If you are looking for a rustic venue that has character, look no further. The food is amazing, breakfast is included the next day, and we would give the Glasbern more than five stars, if possible!
Amber was absolutely amazing when it came to organization, handling out set up, and made sure the kitchen was up to par for our menu! The Glasbern itself, was a fairytale. Beautiful scenery for amazing photos! We absolutely recommend Glasbern for your wedding venue!
I have waited to do my review as there were a few ups and many downs. I have control problems so finding a venue that I would be comfortable with the people and be able to enjoy my day. I visited the Glasbern as I wanted a relaxing atmosphere for myself and my guests. I read all these reviews from multiple sites that spoke of a woman named Amber and how she made couple's weddings unforgettable and smooth. Once meeting her I knew that she was perfect. She made me feel very comfortable that I could release the reigns. Long story short my fiancé met her and we knew that the Glasbern would be the place. After a few months and everything falling into place my world was rocked as I found out Amber was no longer there. That is when the nightmare started. I got pushed off onto a guy names Tyler who made me regret my decision. He tried to break my contract, talked down to me like I was stupid, and literally made me hate the wedding process with my venue. When I was going through all of this something didn't feel right and I searched for Amber and reached out to her. I was able to hire her as my day of person and I finally had the person I needed that would make my day perfect. Tyler would try to fight me at all sides and Amber did a great job of fighting for me as a bride. My day came and Amber made everything run amazingly. The food was great, the music was perfect, the timeline was stuck to and the atmosphere was memorable. We also rented the Dairy Barn as a place for me and some of my Bridesmaids and Groomsmen to stay so we could all be together. Now you may wonder why I am rating this as a 5 star with the issues and the months of hardships that this guy Tyler caused. Their are three ladies that come to mind.(Amber, Joanna, and Beth) They treated me like family and they did everything in their power to make it right. The MAIN reason they are getting a 5 star is that the Glasbern finally got AMBER to come back. With her running at the helm everyone's special day will be memorable and perfect. Words can't express how grateful my husband and I were to have her at our sides. (Side note: I know I wasn't the only bride at Glasbern that hired her as a day of when she wasn't there.) The proof is in the pudding and Amber will have the Glasbern back to weddings week after week there. In my opinion call the Glasbern up and ask the meet with Amber and you will understand why I gave them 5 stars now.
Glasbern is amazing for so many reasons. We fell in the with it the first time we drove into the site and we could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. Beautiful views, amazing food and the best staff you will find at any venue. Tyler specifically went above and beyond for us! His attention to detail was on point and always one step ahead. When our shuttle decided to stop showing up to bring people back to the other hotel guests were staying at, he took them in his own vehicle to make sure they all got back safely. Walker was also friendly and accommodating. He would check in to make sure we had everything we needed! Beautiful sights, amazing people... you can’t ask for more!
I cannot possibly say enough great things about the Glasbern Inn! Our wedding day was a literal dream come true, and the Glasbern was the perfect setting for it all. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful at every turn, the lovely new Glasloft was a great space for our rehearsal dinner, and the main lodge was perfect for our reception. All the staff we dealt with were incredibly friendly and helpful. And TYLER IS THE BEST. We had a few bumps in the road early in our planning, as our first two coordinators left, but once Tyler stepped in, he was there to help us with every little thing we needed and answered our every question. All of our guests loved the venue and had a great time. Hands down the best venue we could have ever imagined.
The Glasbern was amazing! I cannot stress enough how absolutely amazing they were!! Everything went on with out a hitch! They were pleasant and super helpful not to mention the place is absolutely stunning! They made my wedding day perfect!!
We just had our wedding there and over all I’d say it’s a 3/5.
The grounds and atmosphere are beautiful. The food is impeccable. I have a few vegan friends who doubted their food being vegan because it was so delicious (it was vegan). The staff was always very polite and helpful, but there were definitely issues along the way.
We had 3 different coordinators before the final 3 coordinators stepped in. 6 total people. 3 of 6 still work there. They were very helpful when we were able to speak to them. The communication between coordinators however is very much lacking. They also all seem very over worked due to the high turn over rate of coordinators and tons of events going on.
So many events that some kind of bridal shower was held in the area my reception was going to be, WHILE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SETTING UP FOR IT. My MOH has to pass along instructions to the staff for setup because she had to get ready for the wedding.
Half of our guests’ rooms weren’t ready when they were supposed to be.
There was also a mixup during cocktail hour and 75 people were corralled into the Pub instead of spreading them, as planned, between the Patio and the Pub. When I asked the coordinator about it, I was told the passed hors d’oeuvres were never supposed to have been brought to the patio. After a few minutes though some of the waitstaff began passing them outside. Bartending was also severely lacking during cocktail hour (again due to the lack of staffing).
Even still, the event was wonderful and all of our guests had a fabulous time. I would still recommend Glasbern, just be prepared to be patient, flexible, and frustrated.
While we had a some-what rocky start, since there were many staff changes, our wedding at the Glasbern was perfect! Johanna and Tyler were amazing!! They were organize and very helpful leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, everything went off without a hitch! So many of our guests complimented the food and the venue. We would definitely pick the Glasbern all over again! Thank you for making our wedding day so special.
Our wedding could not have been more perfect in the GlasLoft at Glasbern Inn. Joanna was so helpful and patient throughout the entire process and was so genuinely dedicated to making our wedding everything we could have dreamed and more. From the food, to the little thoughtful details, everything exceeded what we could have ever dreamed. It was an absolutely perfect venue!
We held our wedding celebration at The Glasbern Inn last month and they exceeded our expectations! We chose the venue for its rustic charm, it’s farm to table dining and the intimacy of a small Bed and Breakfast venue with sleeping rooms to accommodate our family and friends who were all out of state. We were able to customize our event to be exactly what we were looking for. The staff was professional, customer focused, and very genuine. They assured us that our special day would be everything we wanted it to be and they delivered! They were able to attend to not only our needs but the needs of our guests and were very gracious throughout the weekend. A special call out to both Tyler and Joanna for their attention to detail and their customer service, they truly were amazing to our entire party and we are extremely appreciative of all their hard work. Our wedding turned out to be the day we had planned, with amazing food, (our family is still talking about the amazing cocktail hour and dinner), a beautiful setting to celebrate at and the ability to have our family and friends stay on site to enjoy the celebration with us. Thank you again Glasbern. We would definitely recommend the venue to others!
I'm so happy that we chose Glasbern for our wedding. It was a picture perfect day and they venue is stunning. The food was perfect and Tyler and Joanna made the day flow seamlessly.
There were some staffing shake ups that occurred throughout our planning process and we felt a little left in the dark at times, but looking back, the staff that stepped in was phenomenal and our vision from the beginning carried throughout. The staff was very accommodating to our needs and helped us pull off the perfect day.
Glasbern is an absolutely fantastic wedding venue, in fact it's way more that just a venue, it's a destination; with many of our friends and family joining us for the entire weekend celebration!
We also loved working with everyone at Glasbern, they handled all of our requests with passion.
Everyone raved about the food, and the peaceful natural setting was the perfect back drop for our photographer.
Thank you Glasbern.
Thank you The Knot for introducing us to Glasbern.
We just held our October 5 wedding at the Glasbern Inn, and EVERYONE complimented us on the venue. Everything was perfect, from the setting to the food. In fact, the food was highly regarded as "some of the best food ever at a wedding." Many family members stayed at the Inn, and they were great at making sure we had a room block set up and making the process transparent. There was also a complimentary sit down breakfast included with the rooms, which was a very nice touch.
The staff really went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Amanda, the event coordinator, was great! We really enjoyed working with her. We had an amazing time, and we can't wait to come back and enjoy a romantic weekend in the future!
The Glasbern Inn is a beautiful setting hidden just off routes 78/22 in eastern PA. When we booked our wedding there, we had planned to have an outdoor ceremony and our reception in the Grand Lodge. However, as soon as we heard that they were building the Glasloft (and that it would be completed before our July wedding), we were thrilled to be able to use it. The food was delicious (both at our wedding and at breakfast)! The rooms and amenities were lovely.
However, there was one person who made the planning process easy, reassured us at every turn, and went above and beyond on the day of our event. Amber Grace was the reason we were able to pick the Glasbern with confidence and the reason that I was able to fully relax on our wedding day. She knew exactly what needed to happen and made it happen with grace and a smile. We (and everyone in our wedding party) love Amber!!!!!
We also can't wait to go back for a romantic weekend getaway at this beautiful property!
Choosing the Glasbern was our wedding venue was not a difficult decision. We felt there was no comparison of venues in the Lehigh Valley. When sharing our choice with friends, family, co-workers we were universally met with praises of this venue.
The venue itself is beautiful, well kept, timeless, and unique. Unlike many other rustic venues, the Glasbern has a finished and elegant touch. The glasbern offers on-site lodging which is not only convenient for guests, but an experience of its own. Many of the rooms have whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and sleep number beds. There is also a complimentary breakfast offered for all guests which far exceeded our expectations. This allowed us to have one final meal with our guests for no added cost!
Food was a focus in choosing our venue. The glasbern’s farm to table quality and large portions are not compromised even in the larger quantities to serve a wedding. They offered both private tasting and group tasting options. I would recommend tasting during the season of your wedding if possible because the glasbern uses seasonal flavors and local produce.
Though on the surface the sheer beauty of the glasbern was enough to convince us, it was the staff which really makes the venue come alive. From the moment you drive onto the property there is a general sense of respect and good service. The wait staff, inn keepers, kitchen staff, and most specifically wedding coordinators are second to none. Unfortunately there was a change in staff about 2 months before our wedding. When the previous wedding planner(Amber),who helped us through the initial 18 months of our wedding planning, was no longer there we were terrified our vision and hard work would be lost. However, Amanda and Tyler (both existing employees at the glasbern) made this transition seemless. I will never forget meeting with them instead (unexpectedly) for our 2 month meeting. They had an answer to every question on my long, tedious list. Their experience, preparedness, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, hard work, and dedication is the reason why our dreams came to fruition. They orchestrated a team to achieve our vision. What we love most about Amanda and Tyler is that they cared so much about achieving our vision. Along with the help of their amazing staff, they arranged rooms full of our intricate decorations, after the wedding packed them away, and at no added cost like many other venues charge. They allowed us to add so many personal touches such as brining in our own homemade cake and desserts. This is something that many other venues would not even consider.
The glasbern is the full package. From start of wedding planning to follow-up after the day of our dreams. They made us feel important, heard, and cared for. Driving home after the wedding we came to the conclusion that if our wedding budget grew by $100k we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We had the day of our dreams and could not have achieved that anywhere besides Fogelsville, Glasbern Inn.
The Glasbern was the perfect choice for my daughter and son in law’s rehearsal dinner, ceremony, wedding reception, and lodging.
Amber, who is the wedding planner for Glasbern was amazing...from start to finish. I would need pages to write about her. She went above and beyond for us in every way. She accommodated everything we inquired about... and with a smile each and every time. There was no need to pay for a wedding planner!
The Glasbern is a piece of heaven on earth. A historic property, well taken care of by owners and employees who care. The location is outstanding, nestled among the rolling green hills of Pa. The landscaping was extraordinary... lush, green, and blooming with gorgeousness in every direction you looked at. When my daughter woke up on her wedding day, she said she felt like she was part of a fairytale looking out from her cottage. I’m sure every season has its own beauty.
The bride and groom knew exactly what they wanted in a venue.... they didn’t want a ballroom, but wanted something natural like. Good food was a must because the groom is a chef in NYC. The food was superb... although we didn’t meet the chef, he accommodated the groom and made appetizers and entrees with a twist! The food was delicious and served at the right temperature.
For those who stayed over after the wedding, a full breakfast was included. It was a full menu... your choice. While the bridesmaids were getting ready, someone from the dining area delivered breakfast for them!
The lodging was perfect! I only wish we had time to enjoy our room. The rooms were very nice and so clean!
For the wedding day, Tyler, who works there ordered perfect weather! The weather was perfect!! Everything went smoothly. Everyone did their part... like a well oiled machine.
As I drove away from Glasbern, I thought to myself... what a perfect choice. We couldn’t have been happier.. I hated to leave. We took memories back with us to last a lifetime. Thank you to all the staff!!
I recently got married at Glasbern and my experience was flawless! I chose the intimate wedding package and everything was perfect. Amber did an amazing job of decorating the patio with string lighting and setting up the tables into a special arrangement. She supplied everything I needed and was super accommodating to both myself and my guests. Amber, and all of the staff members, went above and beyond to make sure I was having the best wedding. Also, the food was AMAZING. We went with a BBQ buffet and everything was delicious. The guests highly complimented the food during both the cocktail hour and dinner. After the ceremony, Amber allowed us to move the party to the outdoor fire pit. Every single guest told me how beautiful the wedding was and continue to tell me weeks after the occasion. I highly recommend Glasbern Inn and am so happy I found and booked my wedding here!
The Glasbern was the first venue my fiance and I visited when we first got engaged. We both fell in love with it immediately but to be sure, we saw two other venues afterwards. The staff at the Glasbern were all very friendly and warm and we thought that was typical for venues trying to get your business. However, when we went to the other two venues we scheduled tours with, we quickly realized thats not the case, they were definitely not as friendly and welcoming as the Glasbern staff and coordinator Amber was. Once we signed our contract with the Glasbern, nothing changed. Amber, the wedding coordinator, was very professional, informative and friendly every time we talked to her. The day of the wedding she did so much and helped to make our day absolutely perfect! Our families are still talking about how wonderful she was. The property is beautiful and the rooms are too. Our favorite part was the heated floor in the bridal suite. Their food is all fresh and prepared perfectly. I cant say enough good things about this venue!
We had our cocktail reception at the Glasbern. It was wonderful!!! Amber Grace is FANTASTIC - you can tell she really cares about making the day great. Guests raved about the food, location & rooms. We were able to customize everything, including bringing our 4 Siberian huskies on the property for photos!
My husband and I just had our dream wedding at Glasbern Inn on October 21st. Every single thing was perfect from the night of the rehearsal to the actual day of the wedding. The staff was phenomenal especially the wedding planner Amber. She made sure every little detail was perfect and brought my vision to life. If you are looking to have a beautiful country wedding this is the place to have it!
Amber was fantastic from the moment she emailed me. My husband and I didn't want a long engagement and planned our dream wedding in 3 months. Amber was quick to respond and accommodate a Thursday evening wedding that was intimate and absolutely amazing. Everything from the rehearsal, food, Amber's kind heart made our wedding everything we dreamed of. Thank you again Glasbern and Amber !!!!
My husband and I booked a night here for our 17th wedding anniversary after seeing all the great reviews and it's sad to say we were alittle disappointed. We stayed in the gatehouse suite and upon arrival the room didn't look as luxurious as the pictures on their website. It had the appearance of an outdated cabin and the hardwood floors had dead bugs, debris and dirt which we complained about and they graciously sent housekeeping to quickly clean up. Shouldn't they would check these things before a guest arrives? The rest of the room looked clean and the bathroom was updated and nice. We also enjoyed the loft hot tub with skylight view. The country breakfast was good. Overall, I really wanted to love this place and make an annual visit to celebrate our anniversaries but we will most likely never go back. We were just not impressed
We had our wedding at the Glasbern Inn on October 14th, 2017 and it was the perfect day! From the moment we arrived on Friday for the rehearsal through Sunday when we left after brunch the whole weekend went without a hitch. Amber was amazing coordinating the rehearsal and making sure our last minute landscaping requests were taken care of (some bushes needed pruning near the ceremony site and some of the bricks were loose on the stairs to the ceremony area). The bridal suite easily fit everyone getting their hair and makeup done that day, and the Glasbern staff made sure we had the right chairs so the stylists didn't have to bring their own. Our reception menu was very sensitive to food allergies (vegan, gluten free, soy free, nut free, etc.) and Amber was more than accommodating to make sure the chef was aware and could make the appropriate substitutions. Many of the guest were extremely complimentary about the delicious food. While there were a few hiccups after the original wedding coordinator we met with left, everything turned around and the last six months leading up to the wedding were smooth sailing. A huge thank you to Amber and the Glasbern staff for making our wedding so incredibly special!
We got married here a few days ago, and it was the most spectacular day of my life. Amber Grace, the wedding coordinator for the venue, made every single idea and plan come to life. Her attention to detail and hard work is God’s gift to brides! I wish I could get married there every single weekend! The venue itself was STUNNING and all the staff was incredibly helpful. Everything went off without a hitch and I would recommend it to EVERYONE. ❤️
My wedding at the Glasbern Inn was on October 7th, 2017 and it was the wedding of my dreams. I owe it to the Glasbern staff and Amber the wedding coordinator at the Glasbern. They all went above and beyond during our whole stay the weekend of the wedding. The rooms are a dream with everything you would need. The bridal suite and getting ready room was beautiful and very spacious! The venue speaks for itself, I can't tell you how many of my family and friends said it was the best wedding they have ever attended from the beautiful scenery to the delicious dinner choices. We had an amazing experience from the beginning of booking to the day of our wedding. Not only did Amber and the staff take care of everything from the decorating and organizing of the day, she also was there making me feel less nervous and I knew I was taken care of. I can't say enough about how much I love the Glasbern and we will always have a special place to go back to and remember our special day. It is the most beautiful place in the area to have a wedding I would recommend it to any bride! Thank you Glasbern Inn staff and Amber for your hard work and we are forever grateful. We have the best memories of our wedding day. Thank you!!!!
I got married at Glasbern Inn on June 4, 2017 and it still feels like a dream. We had such an incredible wedding experience from the beginning to the day of. From the moment we stepped into Glasbern to visit the venue, we fell in love with the natural beauty that surrounds the entire place. Amber was our wonderful planner and I can not say enough about how professional, kind, and fantastic she is. As an out of town bride, Amber made planning our day an enjoyable process rather than a stress. Communicating with her was very efficient and smooth, and working with her was truly a pleasure. The day of the wedding was a dream come true. Although it rained, Glasbern staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and for our guests. The preparation and accommodation of our out of town of guests were perfect. The food and service were top notch. The staff was always smiling and made our guests feel so welcome. Amber was running around coordinating things magnificently. She became a friend in the process and we really love her!! our guests were all raving about how gorgeous the venue, food, and staff was. They called it epic to be precise. If you want to have an incredible wedding day and an enjoyable preparation, Glasbern, Amber and staff are the best in the area.
My daughter was married and had her reception at the Glasbern Inn. It was magical and they could not have been more accommodating. It is a beautiful location and we were graced with 74 degree sunny weather. Amber Grace, the events coordinator is amazing and can not thank her enough for all her help and professionalism. She is a Gem.
Many of our guest said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you Glasbern !
