The Ardmore Mansion is a former summer camp that has been renovated and is now a wedding venue…read more There is a small ballroom and several guest rooms in the mansion, a 'barn' (former gym?) that can be used for larger events and summer-cabins for overnight guests. The interior is gorgeous with ornate fireplaces, beautiful moldings and polished wooden floors. The ballroom is somewhat small, but has a wrap-around porch that guests can wander onto. The venue photographs beautifully. The outdoor spaces are not landscaped: it's pretty much grass fields and paved paths. There are structures (outdoor stages, etc) from the former summer-camp scattered around the property. Cocktail hour food is sub-par; consisting of mostly fried selections. I have not attended an event that included 'stations' which suggests that they are cost prohibitive as an add-on to catering packages. There is only one small bar during cocktail hour, so a line forms almost immediately. Dinner entrees are similarly uninspired, consisting of meat, potato and a frozen vegetable blend. The vegetarian entree choice seems to be pasta ..or pasta. The wait staff is friendly and efficient and the event hosts are charming, but the deficiencies in food and drink need to be addressed. The rooms in the mansion are small, with comfortable beds and private bathrooms. However, the rooms are not air conditioned, which can be uncomfortable. There is no staff on the premises after the event ends, even if rooms/cabins are booked with overnight guests. For Summer 2012, room prices were approximately $150/night. Cabin accommodations are fairly rustic, but significantly cheaper than rooms in the mansion. I have not attended an event in the 'barn' but it seems like a unique venue. Overall, Ardmore is a reasonably priced, beautiful venue for hosting an event, which this area desperately needed. However, food and beverage service and accommodations need improvement.

I attended this venue as a guest in a wedding for the 2nd time…read more The place is well kept and has a quaint country style. I didn't get much of a look outside either time, because of bad weather. The parking lot is well laid out though. There are two long tows of spots on either side of the main entrance. Then there are more spaces further away. My first visit was remembered by a frenzy to get drink refills, because they ran out of glasses. So we were served cocktails in rocks glasses. But, the service was given with a smile and there was nothing else notably bad. My second visit started out very good. They even had enough glasses during cocktail hour. But then the groom asked me about what I ordered looking very worried. The manager never took note that a few dishes had to be gluten free. They made up for that with a big tray of gluten free brownies by dessert. Plus, the dinners were served gluten free. One thing I really hope they improve is the table service. My server served the dish and then circled the table looking for empty plates to remove. She even stood over us asking if we were finished while others were still eating at the table. We began asking each other to watch our plates. If you looked away your plate was taken! Then when I needed a lemon wedge for my fish my requests for attention were ignored. The best feature of the venue is their staircase. Its the first one you notice when you enter through the main entrance. The big beautiful window at the top makes it look vast.

My friends got married inside. The wall in which they got married in front of had a fire alarm right in the middle. That fire alarm will be in EVERY picture!! I would go crazy! 2. That same wall had a light fixture with lamp shades. The lamp shades were crooked. 3. The sweetheart table had NO light on them. In fact for the first hour we couldn't figure out where they were sitting. There was light during speeches thanks to their photographer. 4. The cocktail area space is so small! You could barely walk from one side to the other. As a guest it was extremely uncomfortable. 5. The food was okay and there was a great dessert table but the table was outside the ballroom so you barely knew it was there. 6. Last, the bartenders were so slow! There were two bars and a nonstop line at both bars all night. They should have had more help. I would not suggest having your wedding there unless you are paying under $90pp because it should not be more than that.

Feelings worlds away from NYC, this retreat offers stunning gardens with breathtaking views, lavish yet elegant interiors, an award-winning spa, and exceptional sophisticated dining. I can't say enough about the Sunday brunch... definitely worth the splurge at $95pp which included 2 glasses of Prosecco. Everything including the service was top notch during our 3-course meal, starting with the amuse-bouche made of lemon whipped ricotta with pecans, cherries, and radish flower, as well as the basket containing an assortment of freshly baked pastries. The pecan crusted French toast and butter poached shrimp "Oscar" served over lump crab cake with Hollandaise sauce and asparagus were absolutely divine... and I don't even like poached eggs or rich sauces like that, yet I loved every bite! The lobster Benedict was out of this world, and the desserts - The Glenmere Coconut Cake and Mrs. Astor's ice cream Sunday - were the perfect ending to our meal. Followed by a brief stroll, the grounds are stunning and offer breathtaking views of rolling hills and Lake Glenmere. Their interior courtyard was beautiful and felt very Tuscan. I couldn't help but feel special during my visit, and can see how they hosted royalty, aristocracy, and top artists during its heyday!

I recently attended a family Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding at Glenmere Mansion, and wow…read more.. everything was absolutely top tier. This is the kind of destination wedding people dream about. From the second we arrived, the staff took care of us, guided us from place to place, and made the entire weekend feel effortless. The Rehearsal Dinner started with a cocktail hour on a terrace overlooking the countryside, and honestly, it felt like we had been transported to Italy. The views, the manicured grounds, the rolling lawns, the formal gardens, the lake... all of it created this stunning European villa vibe. The Tuscan-style architecture just added to that charm. On the Wedding Day, the ceremony was held outside on a tiered courtyard that managed to feel both grand and intimate. After that, we moved to another outdoor terrace for cocktail hour, and the change of scenery made the whole experience feel fresh and magical. Then we were guided under a covered walkway over to "The Barn in the Meadow" for the reception. It is a gorgeous space, with vaulted ceilings, whitewashed interiors, Italian-style chandeliers, and a covered patio looking out toward the hills and the lake. It felt elegant, spacious, and perfect for a large celebration. The Reception itself was unforgettable. The food and drinks were phenomenal and there was nothing anyone could want. The couple was glowing, the setting felt dreamlike, and the fireworks at the end of the night were the perfect touch. All in all, Glenmere Mansion is not just a venue. It is a full experience. Between the mansion, the gardens, the views, the beautifully designed event spaces, and the top-notch staff, it truly transforms a wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxury wedding or special event location.

The dining is traditional and we loved it. The style is European inside and you feel transported to a foreign time and place. Soaring ceilings with old world timbers and large baronial fireplaces are a perfect setting for the feast to come. We are ice water people when we dine out so I can't comment on their drinks but they have a top reputation for offering a wine cellar that is famously stocked full of rare bottles. And available for a special event. We started with a homemade tomato soup and it was everything. Expect local and the most flavorful vegetables here. Real cream on top. Then we ate the most wonderful Wiener Schnitzel ( the veal was pure white) again with perfectly steamed local cauliflower, carrots and peas. The brown sauce was well made and perfectly smooth and complex with a delicious stock underpinning the finished product. For desert we had a very traditional Swiss chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream sundae. It was simply wonderful. Such a good choice for a special meal. Service I should mention was impeccable and attentive. We noticed several large family tables but the dining room is laid out so there seem to be no bad tables as had been mentioned on another review. It's a white tablecloth dining experience and a reservation is needed. Parking in front. The sedate calm of the restaurant is a setting for conversation and appreciation of the unusually divine cuisine available here.
