“If I could give Essex Club 100 stars, I would. The staff is top notch and will go above and beyond to make your day perfect. Jessica is the best person to be handling your wedding during the planning stage, she makes everything feel simple and stress-free. Rob, the maître d’, will keep everything moving seamlessly on the big day and Julissa, my bridal attendant, was always there when I needed her for anything, no matter how big or small. The food is amazing (shout out to the Asiago rice balls!!!), the grounds are beautiful, and the ballroom and cocktail hour space have a romantic and intimate feel. The price is incredibly reasonable if you do their complete wedding package. We chose to upgrade certain parts of the package but that’s totally up to each individual couple. I still feel like we got the best deal for our money. We got married on Saturday, April 18th. It was the most perfect day I could have asked for!! I feel like Essex Club is a hidden gem and I want to take out an ad in the paper for them because people have no idea what they are missing by not booking with them.”

“From our first experience with the team at Chateau at Coindre Hall during our tour, we knew we'd found the right venue. Aside from the fact that the place itself is beautiful. The staff listened to what we wanted and helped us bring our vision to life without any confusion or stress. They were fantastic to work with—organized, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. On our wedding day, the space was absolutely gorgeous and felt like something out of a dream. Every detail came together perfectly, and honestly, it exceeded everything we'd imagined. Even throughout the day the communication was so helpful. It was a day we will never forget! We can't thank the team enough for making our day so special!”

“Our rehearsal dinner at Mill Neck Manor was truly unforgettable. From the moment our guests arrived, they were blown away by the beauty of the estate. The grounds, the architecture, the views — everything created a breathtaking backdrop that made the evening feel magical and set the tone perfectly for our wedding weekend. The staff were incredible from start to finish. Every person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely eager to make sure the night went smoothly. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. One of the biggest highlights was the setting itself. The manor and its historic charm gave our guests so much to talk about, and the photo opportunities were absolutely spectacular.
