We are still glowing from our wedding at Westbury Manor—it was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue has the most beautiful vintage elegance, with timeless details that made the whole space feel romantic, warm, and truly special. From the moment we walked in during our tour, we knew this was the place. One of the things we loved most was the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The outdoor areas were perfect for our cocktail hour, surrounded by gorgeous scenery, and the indoor reception space was just stunning—classic without feeling stuffy, and spacious without feeling too big and "empty." Another major highlight was the food. Our guests raved about it! From the incredible variety during cocktail hour to the dinner entrees and desserts, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The menu options were expansive, allowing us to personalize to reflect our tastes - not just a standard, boring wedding meal. Something else that really made this venue stand out is that they only host one wedding per night. It meant the world to us knowing that we had the entire space to ourselves. It made the night feel even more intimate and personal—like the whole venue was just ours. We are beyond grateful to the team at Westbury Manor for helping create such a magical, unforgettable day.

From the moment I walked into VCLS, I knew this was the place where I wanted to have my wedding. The ballroom and grounds are absolutely stunning, and there was more than enough room for our 200 guests. Even though it rained, there were gorgeous indoor photo opportunities — we can’t wait to see the professional shots! Most of our vendors had worked here before and were excited to be back. Communication with Barry and Amy was seamless. They reassured me when I had questions, answered emails quickly, and even made my heart-shaped challah dream a reality. It’s the little touches that matter! Barry made this part of wedding planning stress free and he sure knows how to run a venue. Not to mention, he is very flexible and accommodating. Guests are still raving about the food and drinks. We had amazing options like the foodtini station, tacos, passed tomato soup & grilled cheese, and exit stations which included popcorn, cookies, and pretzels. It was a hard decision on what to choose for the food since there were so many options and we saw this first hand at the food tasting! The entire VCLS staff was incredible, making sure every guest felt taken care of all night. A special thank you to Amy, who was by my side from 3 PM until midnight and who fixed my dress just an hour into the reception when the bustle broke (she fixed it in half a second!). The next day, she also sent me 300 photos so we could revisit before we got the professional photos back. Amy had everything under control from the minute we stepped foot into the venue the day of the wedding and she was also there for my bridesmaids if they needed anything. I HIGHLY recommend VCLS!!! I’m sad my wedding day is over but I am so happy I chose this venue. 1000000/10!!

We got married at Engineers Country Club on 9/21/24, and it was the best day of our lives. Ben and his team went above and beyond, and provided exceptional service. From our very first tour, to our wedding day, and all of the planning in between, Ben and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had never been to ECC before, so we solely chose the venue based on our first impression, and it was the best decision we could've made. The property is stunning. The inside is beautiful, bright, recently renovated, and clean. Ben was always quick to respond to emails and always made himself available to answer any questions we had (and we had a lot!). He was beyond accommodating, patient, and did everything with our best interest in mind. We want to thank Ben and his staff for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. They made sure everything remained on schedule per our timeline and every single thing went perfectly! You always hear people say that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but we can't relate. Vicki, my bridal attendant, was also a dream come true. She was my shadow throughout the entire day and night. She is so incredibly sweet and cared so much about making sure I had what I needed at all times. She took photos and videos on my iPhone throughout the day and night, so we have so much awesome content to hold us over until we get the professionals back. The food was endless and delicious. People are still raving about our cocktail hour and the sushi. We could go on and on, but we'll leave it with this: If we had the chance to redo our wedding, we wouldn't change a thing. THANK YOU BEN, VICKI, AND TEAM, FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING DAY SO SPECIAL AND PERFECT.
