Glen Foerd Mansion

5001 Grant Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19114

Nestled along the banks of the Delaware River in Philadelphia’s Torresdale neighborhood, Glen Foerd Mansion offers a rare blend of natural beauty and Gilded Age elegance. Set on 18 acres of landscaped grounds, this historic estate provides a flexible, scenic setting for weddings that embrace both sophistication and serenity. Guests are welcomed by manicured pathways, gardens, and riverfront views that create a relaxed, timeless atmosphere from the start.

Outdoor ceremonies often take place by the water, followed by cocktails on the stone terrace and dinner inside the light-filled Riverside Pavilion, which accommodates up to 300 guests. For more intimate events, the mansion itself offers refined indoor spaces including furnished rooms, a sun porch, a conservatory, and an art gallery showcasing works by Rembrandt, van Gogh, and Monet.

The estate’s antique furnishings, original chandeliers, and historic architectural details give the entire property an unmistakable sense of character and warmth. Managed exclusively by Jamie Hollander Catering & Events, Glen Foerd delivers not only a stunning location but a full-service experience that allows couples to focus on the celebration while everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.

Wedding Photography at Glen Foerd Mansion

Glen Foerd’s grounds provide a beautiful variety of backdrops, from riverfront views and tree-lined paths to the elegant boathouse and stone terrace. These outdoor settings offer natural light, movement, and space for portraits, group shots, and candid moments throughout the day. However, the most compelling photo opportunities can be found inside the mansion.

Couples are encouraged to explore the Art Gallery, Wine Cellar, sun porch, and conservatory, each space rich with texture, mood, and dramatic lighting. These areas add dimension to the wedding story and help create images that feel both timeless and unique.
