About Glen Foerd

River views set a wedding at Glen Foerd apart. It is the only estate on the Delaware River in Philadelphia that is open to the public, out in the Torresdale section of the city. The mansion looks over the water from eighteen acres of rare trees and flowering shrubs, with a formal rose garden, a vineyard and riverfront oaks more than 300 years old. Few places in the city give your photographer and videographer river views like these for your wedding photos.

Your wedding ceremony is held outdoors, under the shade of old trees with the gardens and the mansion behind you and the river in view. Glen Foerd works with one exclusive caterer at a time: weddings booked through 2026 are catered by Jamie Hollander Gourmet Cuisine, and from 2027 Cescaphe becomes the estate's catering and event partner. Cescaphe describes a cocktail hour of an hour and a half that moves between the mansion's rooms and a patio overlooking the Delaware, with art-filled interiors and a sweeping staircase for portraits along the way.

For 2027 weddings, the wedding reception takes place in a cathedral-style tent on the south lawn, with chandeliers, wood floors, built-in bars and clear sides that keep the gardens in view during dinner and dancing. Walk the river edge at the time of day your ceremony starts, because evening light on the water is lovely on film. The grounds are also a public park, open from 8 am to dusk.

  • Contact the caterer for your year (Jamie Hollander through 2026, Cescaphe from 2027) about dates and tours.
  • Ask the estate about its photography policy, since photos inside the mansion and larger groups need approval.
  • Walk the gardens with your photographer to plan the route of your wedding day.

A little about Glen Foerd

The main house was built in 1850 and expanded over its years as a private home, and the gardens were redesigned in the 1920s and 30s in the American Country Place style. Glen Foerd is a Fairmount Park property run by a nonprofit conservancy with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation.
