A Riverfront Gilded Estate Wedding

Glen Foerd is a historic waterfront wedding venue on the Delaware Riverfront in Northeast Philadelphia, where Gilded Age architecture, formal gardens, and sweeping river views create an extraordinary setting for a celebration. Set on 18 acres just outside Center City, this 19th-century estate pairs the elegance of a historic mansion with the natural beauty of its waterfront surroundings.
