2007 - 2009 Comments regarding programs sponsored by Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation "Excellent! Enjoyable!" "Great bird watch experience." "Great program!" "I have to return!" "Great trip." 2007 - 2009 Comments Catered Events at Glen Foerd (from Conroy Catering) "There were many memorable moments. What impressed me was the
attention by Conroy Catering to every possible concern my bride and
I had. The facility is gorgeous! Everyone's comment was how beautiful
Glen Foerd is!" "I don't know where to begin! The staff was incredibly professional
and helpful. The food was superb. The mansion was impressive. The atmosphere
really suited the importance of the event. Replies were prompt and courteous.
The staff was helpful and generous. I felt comfortable asking silly
questions and discussing minor details." "The entire event was memorable! We enjoyed every minute of our
wedding. The staff went above and beyond our expectations. We loved
the facility, which is why we chose Glen Foerd in the first place."
"Honestly, the entire evening was enjoyable, impressive, and memorable!
If only other catering services could match your attention to detail
and professionalism, there would be more positively remembered out there."
I have been lucky enough to live down the street from Glen Foerd. Some
of my fondest memories have been of walking through the ground and seeing
the changing beauty throughout the season, and sitting beneath the "Ziggy
Tree" reading. Now, I take my niece on walks through Glen Foerd.
It is a place of peace and tranquility for me and my family.
The estate is marvelous but I want to say that your web site is outstanding
as well. You are to be congratulated and commended! Thank you for all
your efforts. They are greatly appreciated.
Glen Foerd is certainly one of the most special places along all the
Delaware. We began sailing from along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal,
and ended near New Hope. We touched ground downriver from Glen Foerd
and were so proud to show our guests that such a distinguished estate
existed nearly untouched for so many years.
Dear Glen Foerd,
Dear Chef, Management and Staff, The mansion was elaborately decorated for the holidays. The staff was so supportive, treating us all as family. The food was delicious and expertly served. We realize that the wedding was the culmination of many hours of planning. During the planning stages the staff and caterers were very accommodating and supportive. It all equated to a perfect ceremony and reception. From everyone's description, the Glen Foerd Mansion is the perfect
place to begin a married life together.
I am a born and raised Philadelphia who never heard of this estate.
I recently stumbled upon this beautiful place by mistake while looking
for a home to buy. I was just driving around river front homes searching
for the home of my dreams; and found this home! Since then I have ask
several friends and family members if they ever heard of this estate,
and to my surprise no one has. What a shame; I have taken my kids, niece
and nephew and all fell in love! This is truly a place where schools
should do a little history teaching! We now go about once a month and
just sit by the river and day dream; what a relaxing place to be. And
now that I have read the history what a wonderful place to dream! I
truly pray my grandchildren have a chance to enjoy this place as well.
Please to all who are responsible "keep up the good work!"
And thank you!
I previously added a guestbook entry about 8 years ago. I had attended
a Pancake breakfast and sang in a local choir there. Little did I know
at the time that I was pregnant with my son. Well today I took him to
the grounds to help him discover the beauty of Glen Foerd for himself.
I was hesitant that a young child wouldn't grasp the importance of such
a historical site. I was dead wrong. Using our imaginations we pretended
we were the residents of the estate back in the 1800's. It was wild.
Along the way he asked me to read the names of the trees and was strangely
interested in all the beauty and discoveries. We are planning on coming
to the evening event on May 18, 2004 at 7:00pm so that he may experience
the interior of the mansion and hear the history of the estate. He also
(though only 8) is already declaring this the site for his wedding!
:) This place is so tranquil and magnificent that you MUST come see
it in person. Thank you to all the caretakers and Board for keeping
it going.
My husband and I both grew up in the area. As teenagers we would drive
past the mansion frequently. As a married couple, the caretaker was
an acquaintance and we visited often. My nephew was married there is
1997 and I can only say it was the most wonderful wedding I have ever
attended, so much charm and elegance. It is wonderful that someone is
keeping the old charm alive. We in Philadelphia have destroyed so much
of our history for modern development. I applaud you. Keep up the great
work! |
