Ceremony Site
Many wedding ceremonies take place overlooking the gorgeous Middle Falls, just steps away from Glen Iris Inn. Standing at 107 feet high, Middle Falls is the largest waterfall in the park, making it a truly majestic backdrop for your wedding ceremony. Parties from 10 to 250 people can be accommodated at this location.
Reception Sites
Terrace Dining Room and Letchworth Room at the Glen Iris Inn
The Terrace Dining Room and Letchworth Room are perfect indoor settings for intimate receptions. Both rooms feature sit-down dinner service at tables for four to eight guests each. The Terrace Dining Room can host up to 60 guests, while the Letchworth Room comfortably accommodates 25.
South Lawn Cathedral Tent
The South Lawn is an elegant blend of rustic charm and outdoor ambiance. This spacious tent accommodates up to 120 guests, providing ample room for dinner and dancing. Couples with larger wedding parties can add a second tent to expand the guest list to 250 attendees.
Caroline’s Courtyard
Caroline’s Courtyard is the newest addition to the Glen Iris Inn. This alfresco dining area seats up to 50 people and can be used as an additional reception space. However, the courtyard is weather-dependent, so dining options are limited.
“In the summer of 2023, we opened Caroline’s Courtyard to great success,” Denise says. “This year’s wedding season is shaping up to be another busy year, and we’re looking forward to welcoming couples in this beautiful outdoor space.”
Food Options
The Glen Iris Inn has a full team of caterers on-site, ready to serve you and your guests. Wedding parties have several menu options available, including hors d’oeuvres, sit-down dinner, dessert, beverages, station party packages, dinner buffets and more. Every menu includes high-quality dishes made from fresh products and luxury imported goods, ensuring a top-tier dining experience.
Accommodations
The Glen Iris Inn and its surrounding properties have several accommodations perfect for wedding parties and guests, before or after festivities. The Inn has 11 guestrooms and four suites. The Pinewood Lodge, located on the ridge above the Inn, holds seven efficiencies. Nearby is the Pinewood Lofts, which consists of two luxury units that can each house four people. Off the main park road is Caroline’s Cottage, a private home a short distance from the Inn that accommodates six guests. Directly across from Inspiration Point is the Stone House, another full-house rental that fits up to eight guests. The historic Chalet House, formerly a part of Mr. Letchworth’s own estate, is just up the hill from the Inn. It too can hold eight guests.
Couples and their guests can find additional accommodations at hotels outside of Letchworth in nearby towns, such as Perry and Mount Morris.
