Glenmere Mansion

Events Manager Denise Decker loves bringing each client’s vision to life, creating unforgettable celebrations and experiences against the extraordinary backdrop of Glenmere.

What satisfies you most about your job?

Every day in this industry is different than the day before. Every client is unique and brings with them new insights, inspirations, and visions. I love that I get to play a part in bringing those visions to life. The happiness of a couple as they depart as newlyweds, the smile of a CEO as their long-awaited retreat comes to its calm conclusion - knowing that we facilitated a memorable and seamless experience for someone is the goal, and the satisfaction of achieving that goal never gets old.

Favorite Glenmere Detail?

The original art throughout the mansion is truly exquisite. Gorgeous Charlie Hewitt works are spread throughout the property, but I'm particularly drawn to the two large Alden Twachtman works in the Cortile. They are original to Glenmere, and are uniquely representative of the Gilded Age that inspired both them and Glenmere, itself.

What makes Glenmere unique?

Everything about Glenmere is unique. You are constantly reminded of the fact that you are walking through history with the ease of modernity. The Gilded Age architecture and antique pieces occupy the same spaces as the luxurious modern appointments. The balance between artfully manicured gardens and breathtaking natural surroundings is truly striking and beautifully preserves the design intentions of Beatrix Farrand. There is no place quite like it.

Memorable Glenmere moment?

I love the moment when a client arrives to the property for the first time. Whether they are here for a three-day milestone celebration, checking in for a quiet getaway, or spending an intimate evening in one of the elegant dining rooms, each new space elicits a little gasp of captivation.

Must-see you recommend to guests?

Golden hour on the Lakeside Terrace is not to be missed! Regardless of season, the panoramic view of the lake, the mountains, and the endlessly brilliant sunsets is a painting all its own.

Favorite thing about Glenmere in fall?

The leaves changing from deepest greens to brazen ambers, reds, and purples gives the whole property a halo of gold. As you make your way up the front drive, the trees welcome you with golden confetti, and the local deer and wild fowl tend to dot the lawn as if they've been waiting for you. I never get tired of arriving onto property. I like to remind myself that I could be in a high-rise office of steel and glass, surrounded by the noise of daily life, but I have the unique privilege of spending each day in a watercolor masterpiece.

A holiday tradition, imagined anew. ✨

A little friendly competition, a crackling fire, and an afternoon unhurried.
