    Gorgeous Location and amazing staff

    When we originally booked our venue it was actually in the process of being bought out by Morins, I was really nervous because I had a really good meeting with Katie (the old management). Liana could not have made me feel more comfortable, she answered every email professionally and in a timely manner. Morins kept the attention to detail while maintaining the grounds. I can’t say enough good things I had the best wedding day. Special thank you to Liana for answering every question I had and making sure my day went smoothly.

    Wedding venue of my dreams

    The Glen Manor House is one of the most stunning, well-kept venues in New England. It barely needs any decor or flowers at all - it's absolutely beautiful on its own. After researching 50+ venues in New England and visiting ~10, the Glen Manor House was by far our favorite.. hands down. We worked closely with Katie who has been with GMH for years and was a big part of the reason why we moved forward with them. Katie is incredibly professional, warm-hearted, easy (and fast!) to communicate with, and knows how to run a wedding like no other. I am so, so happy that we decided to get married at Glen Manor House, and cannot recommend this venue and team enough!

    Absolutely stunning venue!!

    We recently had our wedding at the Glen Manor House in August 2022 and it was truly a dream come true! This venue is absolutely stunning inside and out, it has a chateau vibe, with beautiful grounds and an incredible water view. Our guests were so impressed with the venue and loved everything about it! Everyone loved the beauty, flow and the indoor/outdoor flexibility and could not have more nice things to say about it. We really loved that everyone could truly enjoy themselves, whether that meant getting down on the dance floor, conversing in one of the dinner rooms or enjoying the beautiful sunset and later moon views outside. Working with Katie was an absolute pleasure! She is such a nice person and amazing to work with. She helped us every step of the way in planning , was readily available whenever we needed to speak to her and she provided rapid responses to our e-mails. She took care of all of our items that we dropped off for decorations such as pictures and signs. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we HIGHLY recommend and thank Katie & the Glen Manor House!

    The perfect place to get married. Katie, the wedding coordinator, is FANTASTIC and the mansion could not be more beautiful. My husband and I are so happy we chose the Glen!

    A Dream Come True!

    Having our wedding at the Glen Manor House was a dream come true! Driving up the road and seeing the water right before you make that right turn is breath taking. The Glen Manor House is absolutely gorgeous both inside and out! Our guests loved everything about it! We loved how we were able to utilize the grounds and the rooms for different purposes such as for dinner, dessert and dancing. We really enjoyed having dinner in one room where you can actually hear the person next to you speak. We loved how the dancing, speeches and introductions took place in the ballroom. Working with Katie was a pleasure! When we first met her, she gave us such a warm welcome! She is really an amazing person! She is professional, kind, patient, helpful and understanding. She helped us every step of the way in planning our wedding day. She was readily available whenever we needed to speak to her and she provided rapid responses to my e-mails. She took care of all of our items that we dropped off for decorations such as pictures and signs. Our wedding day was perfect! We are so grateful that we had our wedding there! We can’t thank Katie enough for all that she has done for us!

    My favorite place

    I have loved this historic house and its beautiful grounds for my entire life, so it was an easy decision of where to have our wedding. Katie who runs the house is amazing and runs it like a well-oiled machine. You just feel like royalty the second you walk in. The high ceilings of spacious rooms that then open up to the ocean and bright gardens are magnificent. There is a very large bridal suite and you are allowed on the property three hours prior to the event so we had plenty of time to hang out and do some pictures before. They have all tables and chairs on site. You need to hire a caterer to come in from their approved list.

    Best venue!

    We had our wedding at Glen Manor in May 2022 and were so thrilled! The grounds are beautiful, the staff was great to work with, and all of our guests thought it was the most beautiful venue. We highly recommend Glen Manor!

    Amazing Wedding Venue!!!

    My husband and I got married at Glen Manor House on 5/21/22 and could not be happier that we chose this venue. Katie was fantastic to work with from start to finish: she was super responsive and helpful when we had questions, but let us pursue our vision in our own way. The grounds of the venue are gorgeous - all of our guests were stunned when they arrived! The multiple rooms within the house make the whole party more intimate and also facilitate dancing at the end of the night. Overall, I can’t say anything negative about Katie or GMH - we’re still gushing over our beautiful wedding!!

    Glen Manor is gorgeous!

    My husband and I loved our Glen Manor wedding! The Glen is truly a stunning venue and we are so happy we got married here. Our ceremony was outside facing the river and provided the most beautiful backdrop for our vows. We got so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the venue was. Katie is lovely to work with and worked very well with our wedding planner. We wish we could get married here every year!

    Absolutely incredible venue!

    My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Glen Manor House and especially Katie. We were one of the unfortunate couples that had to postpone our wedding (numerous times) due to COVID. After a negative experience with our original venue, we absolutely fell in love with Glen Manor House and made the switch. And we couldn’t be happier with our decision.

    When the trolley first pulled up to the venue on our wedding day, I was overcome with emotion by how beautiful everything looked. I ran into Katie inside and she gave me a big hug and was genuinely excited for our wedding to take place. This was when I knew that the day was going to be as perfect as I imagined.

    Everything ran seamlessly thanks to Katie and all our guests were in awe of how beautiful the venue was. If we had to go back and do it all again we would choose Glen Manor House as our venue in a heartbeat.

    Katie at the Glen Manor House ensured we had a perfect day!

    The Glen Manor House is the most gorgeous venue and was a dream to get married at. Katie at the Glen was extremely kind, professional, responsive, and easy to work with! She absolutely sold the venue when we first when on our tour as we knew we would love working with her. Our expectations were exceeded and we had a magical wedding day. THANK YOU!

    Magical wedding venue

    The Glen is the best wedding venue in RI maybe even NE!!!! I’ve been to quite a few weddings at the Glen and they have all been wonderful. The scenery and setting is out of this world. The ambiance is unlike anything else. And Katie is an angel. She was the most helpful vendor I dealt with. So quick with anything I needed. Random questions, also while planning during a pandemic she was incredible. I am so grateful to her. Even setting up/breaking down the event I didn’t have to worry about a thing thanks to her. She helped guide us through our most precious day so wonderfully and effortlessly. And my family couldn’t have nicer things to say either. So thank you Katie and the Glen for making our wedding dreams come true!!!!!

    Romantic and Dreamy

    The Glen Manor and Katie were everything that a bride could want! The manor itself was stunning. Between the architecture, ballrooms/dining rooms, gorgeous red carpet staircase and the stonework outside- the whole building is a work of art. I have been to countless weddings and no venue was as breathtaking as the Glen. My guests came from far and wide, all over the country, and I had many of them state that the Glen was the most magical venue they have ever been to. They said it felt like you were in a fairytale. If you are looking for a unique and romantic wedding venue- the Glen is for you! Plus- you can’t beat the gardens, waterview, and pictures on the dock!

    Now Katie was a godsend. She met with me, my husband and our families multiple times to show us the venue. She was accommodating and was happy to answer all questions. As the wedding got closer she gave me guidance and ideas on how to execute my last part of wedding planning. She even helped with the ever dreaded seating chart. She was always cheerful and positive through my entire experience. On the day of my wedding it was no different. She coordinated drop offs for all our extra items (i.e. pictures, card box, etc.) and ensured it all got placed. She coordinated with all our vendors and made me feel confident that I would not need to do or worry about anything the day of the wedding. Throughout our reception, she checked in with my husband and I and made sure we had everything that we needed. She was one of the main players in making our wedding day perfect. Please do yourself a favor and book the Glen Manor!

    Dreamy Venue - Rain, Shine, or Hurricane!

    My experience working with Katie to plan my wedding reception at Glen Manor House was incredible from start to finish. When my now-husband was activated for a military deployment amidst the onset of the COVID pandemic in 2020, we reached out to Katie to reschedule our reception. She graciously honored our existing contract to identify a new date in 2021. I was one of the lucky brides whose new wedding date coincided with Hurricane Henri making landfall in New England. Katie and I were in constant communication throughout the wedding weekend as we watched the forecast together. I was incredibly grateful for her flexibility and her can-do attitude throughout. Ultimately, we were able to move forward with hosting our reception as scheduled that night. It was an absolute dream! Definitely consider the Glen for your wedding as it makes a perfect location - rain, shine, or hurricane!

    Absolute Perfection

    Glen Manor is, simply put, absolute perfection in a wedding venue. Every part of the property is stunning - the garden, the view, the House itself, the bridal suite and, perhaps most importantly, Katie is absolute dream to work with.

    We booked Glen Manor 19 months before our wedding and well before the pandemic hit, so we went through numerous iterations for how the day would look, starting with a 150-person event, then just planning a small intimate ceremony in the space, and finally going through with a 30-person ceremony and reception at Glen Manor. I have no doubt that all of those possible plans would have been beautiful at the Glen, and Katie worked with tirelessly and patiently with us through each iteration of our plans. On our wedding day Glen Manor was beyond stunning and it felt perfect for our 30 person event. The House felt warm, inviting, intimate, and in many ways it felt like we were hosting a wedding at our home (one can dream!) because Katie made us and our guests so comfortable in the space.

    For anyone trying to plan a wedding during the pandemic (and anyone else), we cannot recommend Glen Manor more highly. Wedding planning is stressful in general, let alone when trying to account for changing restrictions and safety considerations, but we knew we were in good hands with Katie and that our day would be beautiful no matter what happened. I can honestly say that our wedding day exceeded our dreams even pre-covid, and that is largely due to Glen Manor.

    Absolutely gorgeous!

    Glen Manor was an incredible venue. My in-laws had gotten married there 30 years ago, so it was so special for me and my partner to get married in the same place. Katie was amazing to work with, and the house was extraordinary. Guests couldn't get over how beautiful it was, and are still talking about it. We got married in November and it was freezing, but the house felt warm, inviting, and so, so special. Our cocktail hour (before the ceremony) started right at sunset, and guests pulled up to see the house glowing with candles. Because of the weather, we didn't use the grounds except for some photos of the two of us, but the landscaping looked amazing, even at the time of year. It is obvious that Katie and Don care so deeply about the property and ensuring that those lucky enough to get married there have a wonderful experience. 10/10.

    Perfection

    We feel as though we made many correct decisions when it came to our wedding day and choosing Glen Manor was one of them. The Manor is beautiful, great history, elegance and many available options for what you can do, no matter the size or formality of your wedding. With it being just outside of Newport in Portsmouth, I feel many people overlook it but that should not be the case, it has stunning water views, lush gardens, inside and outdoor space which is needed with RI weather and the separate ballroom in my opinion is a bonus because it gets people up out of their seats! Katie was amazing as well, she was super responsive and very helpful in guiding us through every step.

    The perfect venue

    My husband and I couldn't have picked a better, more perfect location if we tried. Katie was so wonderful to work with, and helped to make our special day seamless. It was great to have the entire house and grounds to ourselves, and to not have to worry about sharing the space with another wedding or event happening at the same time. The view of the Sakonnet River was breathtaking, and wow-ed all of our guests. The house itself is stunning, and so elegant. It was the perfect fit for the classic wedding we were aiming for. Honestly, the best venue ever.

    Glen Manor House

    Choosing the Glen Manor House was the best decision we ever could have made. We were planning our wedding from Arizona and relied on a lot of our vendors to help guide us with the right direction for our special wedding day. Katie was always very responsive with all of our questions and she was incredibly helpful. The Glen Manor is such a special place to us and our family and friends. Since the wedding we have received many compliments that it was the most beautiful venue that they have ever been to. The entire process was a dream and I can't thank Katie and her team enough for all their hard work!

    Perfect setting for a June wedding!

    After scouting numerous venues in Rhode Island, I knew this was the one the second I walked in (even in the dead of winter). In speaking to Katie, I immediately felt comfortable and knew this was the venue for my June wedding. Throughout our planning process, Katie was an invaluable resource who quickly became a favorite vendor!

    The Glen Manor House is such a hidden gem, our guests were in awe of the gardens, water views and building itself. I loved the indoor/outdoor dining seating as well as the separate ballroom for dancing. The venue itself can be customized so many ways with decor, it felt like the possibilities were endless! I am so happy we chose Glen Manor House, I would highly recommend it!

    Elegant yet non-pretentious

    Get married here!! absolutely gorgeous and elegant, yet non-pretentious feeling venue. We got married in May and the landscaping was breathtaking; our photos were unbelievable. Flowers in full bloom and just warm enough for indoor/outdoor wedding. Love the easy access to the grounds (water, gardens). If you want to step away from the crowd during the reception to get some air, you can just take a walk outside without feeling completely removed from the action, which makes it very comfortable for guests that are introverted or don’t know many people at the wedding. Katie is absolutely amazing. She made sure everything ran smoothly, kept me relaxed, and she is ALL over every detail before you even think of it. She anticipates your needs throughout the planning process as well as the day of, which you need on your wedding day since there will inevitably be chaos that will happen no matter how much you plan. Only criticism I’d say is it may be a bit warm to get married here mid summer (especially if you plan to dance a lot) since no AC. It was about 75 on our wedding day which was perfect.

    Glen Manor is absolutely gorgeous! If you're looking for an elegant, outdoor (with indoor/outdoor patio option in case it rains), scenic, waterfront and historic venue, this is the perfect place. It's a great location for both intimate and large weddings. I had a small intimate wedding (around 60 guests) and the venue was just right for the size. Katie, the venue coordinator, was a great person to work with. She is responsive and on the day of, worked well with our caterer/event coordinator (Russell Morin) and other vendors seamlessly. All of our vendors love working with Katie and praised her professionalism.

    It is hard to say something about this beautiful place that hasn't already been said, but I am more than happy to share our experience. My mom booked this venue for our wedding after meeting Katie and touring the grounds, my husband and I didn't even seen it in person until a week before our wedding! We were blown away, it is beautiful in photos, but even more stunning in person. Katie took the time to meet with us before our event and give us a tour since we had never visited the Glen before. She answered all of our questions and gave us great last minute advice on our timing, set up, and rehearsal day instructions. The venue is stunning, but Katie is the true gem-- she will not lead you astray and if you follow her advice, you will enjoy a truly spectacular wedding. When our wedding party showed up for the rehearsal they were also struck by how beautiful the space was! We had an outdoor wedding, and outdoor cocktail hour, followed by a seated dinner and dancing inside. Unfortunately it was during the rare heat wave in RI, but guests really appreciated the outdoor space to cool down. You cannot go wrong having a wedding here and the dressing rooms for bride and groom are lovely, spacious, and have good views. Because Katie serves as a day of coordinator for your vendors and cues your ceremony, you will be able to really enjoy the event. You can also bring in your own alcohol which makes this stunning location a great value if you choose to go that route. Our only regret is that we didn't change our seating area to make use of the awning covered porch, but that was only because of the unseasonable heat. Your guests will be wowed by the building and the grounds and your photos will be beautiful. Most importantly, you will have the utmost confidence in Katie's abilities to help you coordinate and run a lovely event down to small details.
