Letchworth State Park Wedding Site
The main wedding ceremony site overlooks 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 venue.
Reception Sites
Terrace Dining Room/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 that support four to eight guests each. The Terrace Dining Room supports up to 60 guests, while the Letchworth Room can comfortably accommodate 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.
“Last summer, 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 on-site caterers 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. Menu fare includes high-quality dishes made from fresh products and luxury imported goods, ensuring a top-tier dining experience.
