Why Couples Fall in Love with Glynwood Farm Weddings
When you arrive at Glynwood, it’s hard not to feel a sense of awe. Surrounded by rolling hills, pastures, and a glistening lake, it feels untouched by time, yet perfectly tailored for modern, luxury weddings.
Couples are drawn to Glynwood for so many reasons. First, exclusivity: Glynwood only hosts one wedding per weekend, giving you the entire estate to yourself. No crowds, no distractions — just you, your loved ones, and an incredible setting.
It’s also a true working regenerative farm. From the ancient apple orchard to the sound of cattle grazing, every detail feels authentic and deeply rooted in the region’s heritage.
Make no mistake — Glynwood embraces its rustic roots, but the experience is anything but casual. The 1920s fieldstone house, lakeside boathouse, and curated catering partners deliver a wedding weekend that’s as luxurious as it is unforgettable.
Your Dream Wedding Weekend at Glynwood: What It Could Look Like
When you choose Glynwood for your wedding, you’re not just hosting a single event — you’re creating an entire weekend of memories surrounded by breathtaking views, historic charm, and impeccable hospitality. The beauty of a Glynwood farm wedding is how naturally it invites guests to slow down, savor the moment, and connect with the setting (and each other).
Here’s a glimpse of what a thoughtfully planned wedding weekend at Glynwood could look like:
Friday: Welcome Dinner and Gathering
As your guests arrive, they’re welcomed by sweeping mountain views and the warm, rustic charm of Glynwood’s historic fieldstone house. After check-in and a stroll around the property, everyone gathers for a relaxed welcome dinner — perhaps at the lakeside Boathouse or on the patio with a glowing sunset as your backdrop.
Picture seasonal farm-to-table fare, cozy fire pits, and casual toasts as old friends reunite and new friendships spark.
Saturday: Wedding Day
The morning starts with a peaceful breakfast featuring local produce and house-made pastries. Guests might take a hike on one of Glynwood’s private trails or relax by the lake before the festivities begin.
Ceremonies typically take place with the mountains and orchard as your backdrop — a picture-perfect setting that feels both grand and grounded. Afterward, guests enjoy cocktail hour on the terrace or lawn, sipping signature drinks and soaking in the view.
The reception unfolds under an elegant sailcloth tent, with twinkling lights, lush farm-inspired florals, and a custom seasonal menu crafted by your chosen caterer. As the stars come out, the dance floor fills up and the evening transforms into a joyful celebration that feels completely, authentically you.
Sunday: Farewell Brunch
There’s nothing better than capping off the weekend with a relaxed farewell brunch. Think fresh coffee, local jams and cheeses, and a final round of hugs and laughs before everyone heads home.
After a weekend surrounded by Glynwood’s unparalleled natural beauty and intimate setting, it’s easy to see why so many couples feel like this is their place. But what truly sets a Glynwood farm wedding apart are the incredible spaces you get to make your own — each one offering a perfect blend of rustic elegance and thoughtful design.

Every inch of Glynwood feels intentional — from the 1920s stone manor to the misty lake views to the rolling hills dotted with cattle. Whether you’re planning a grand affair under the stars or an intimate gathering framed by the orchard, Glynwood’s venue options create the kind of magical backdrops most couples only dream about.
The Perkins House
This historic fieldstone house is the heart of Glynwood.

Its terrace, overlooking sweeping mountain and lake views, is an ideal spot for a cocktail hour that feels both grand and grounded.
The Patio and Tented Reception Lawn
Adjacent to the Perkins House, the outdoor reception space is effortlessly elegant. Weddings here typically feature a sailcloth or clear-top tent — allowing you to dine and dance under the open sky, with the rolling hills and sunset as your ever-changing backdrop. It's the perfect blend of natural beauty and luxurious celebration.
The Lakeside Boathouse
For couples dreaming of a truly one-of-a-kind setting, Glynwood’s private Boathouse is a hidden gem.

With its woodsy seclusion and vintage charm, it feels like your own private escape.
The Orchard and Fields
If you’re envisioning a ceremony surrounded by nature, the orchard and open fields provide stunning options. Exchange vows beneath century-old apple trees or on a grassy hilltop with panoramic views — either way, you’re creating a setting that feels timeless, heartfelt, and completely unforgettable.
From start to finish, Glynwood offers the flexibility to design a wedding weekend that feels like a true reflection of you — elevated, intentional, and unforgettable.
