First impression, the venue is beautiful the grounds and the inside are updated very nicely and decorated for Mother's Day. We sat down excited for our brunch, we order or drinks complimentary mimosas for mother's- was very nice. The rest of us ordered other brunch drinks, we don't think any of our drinks had any alcohol in them at all, we did not order a second round. It was then our turn to go up to the buffet- we could not find where to get the plates from. There were mini plates around but if you wanted a larger plate you had to wait inline for the kids and breakfast buffet. The food was just not good at all and very unorganized. The hashbrowns and Waffles were hard as rock, couldn't cut into them, bacon was practically raw, and items that should've been kept warm weren't. The stations were constantly empty. I would like to love this place, hopefully they will improve.

Nestled in the rolling…read morehills of the lower Hudson Valley, Glenmere Mansion is a slice of Europe (think Tuscany) with a luxurious Guilded Age flair. 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 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.

That aside, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Beautiful grounds, clean, kind and welcoming staff, delicious food, and dog friendly! If you're looking for a cozy escape from the city, this is the place. We stayed in the Lakeside cottage, which I highly recommend. Room was perfection - the wood fireplace was exactly what I wanted. Food was delicious. Breakfast buffet every morning was the best buffet I've ever had. My only con is that I feel like some of the things should've been included in the price versus having an extra fee. For example, there's a movie night option but it costs $45 per person... (though it comes with popcorn + candy). I feel like the movie viewing should be free. There's also an option for their "famous" breakfast buns that cost $7 per bun. Not an unreasonable cost, but since you're already paying a daily fee for food it seems like something like this should be included.

They let us carry our deposit into this year. I have been involved in youth hockey for 18 years. This is THE BEST banquet facility I have ever seen in our area. Our group was 65 people. The room we were in could have easily accommodated far more. The layout was perfect. Most importantly.... the food was excellent. It was served buffet style. I have come to expect mediocre fare over the years from other venues but Spruce Lodge put out a spread that had the players and parents raving. The chicken parm was delicious and moist! The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp. They had marinated vegetables on skewers that I couldn't stop eating. The steak was superb. I did not have the penne ala vodka but reports from one of our senior players, leading defenseman and known food snob (my kid) said "this is the best I have ever had. Anywhere". The staff was very nice. Special shout out to the bartender- the facility has a nice bar set up in a perfect location adjacent to the banquet area. I forgot to get her name but she was dealing with a bunch of thirsty hockey parents and high school aged boys loading up on. Shirley Temples and Coke. Friendly and fast. Again, I cannot praise the food enough. If you are looking for a banquet venue, small wedding venue, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Capt Over
