Green Pond Country Club was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Shauna was always available to answer our questions and help us plan the perfect day.

Shauna listened intently to all of our requests and ensured the place settings were beautifully designed. Her calm demeanor also helped keep my bride relaxed throughout the planning process.

We just got married here last weekend and it was a dream come true. Between the gorgeous scenery & the amazing staffing, this place is top notch. From the initial planning process to the day of coordinating (Brianna was truly a godsend, not sure how we would have made it through without her), the staff went above and beyond and helped our day be a truly magical experience. They were always very responsive with communication. Cannot express in words how highly we recommend this venue!!

I have been performing weddings at Sayre Mansion since the 1990s. No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.
