“Our wedding at Essex Club was everything we could have hoped for and more. From start to finish, the entire day was beautiful, seamless, and so much fun. The planning process was far less stressful than we ever expected, especially considering we planned our wedding in just 5½ months. Jessica, the General Manager and Wedding Coordinator, was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable, organized, calm, and incredibly easy to work with. Her guidance, patience, and attention to detail helped make the months leading up to our wedding feel manageable and enjoyable. As a bride, I was incredibly nervous before walking down the aisle, but Julissa and Rob were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt cared for throughout the day. Julissa, our Bridal Attendant, even put cornstarch on my feet in the bridal suite so I wouldn’t slip out of my shoes—a small gesture that perfectly captures the level of attention and care she provided! Rob was a fantastic Maitre D’, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful he was. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, the flowers were beautiful, and the décor was set up exactly as we envisioned. Every detail was handled with care, allowing us to truly enjoy our wedding and spend time with our family and friends. Our guests had an amazing time, and we danced and sang the night away. We are so grateful to the entire Essex Club team for their kindness, patience, professionalism, and hard work. Thank you for giving us such a magical wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend Essex Club to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional team.”

“I am so happy that we went with Old Field Club for our wedding. It was the perfect combination of serene outdoor space and a fun entertainment dance spot. Sabine and Russ were quick to respond to my emails whenever I needed help. We arrived and everything was set up perfectly, even better than I had imagined over the past year and a half of planning, it was like a dream come true. Aileen and Michael went above and beyond throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed or wanted. Anytime a glass was empty, it was instantly refilled. If you didn’t have a smile on your face, Michael was there to see what he could do to change that. Aileen was a dream, anytime she thought I needed something she would be right by my side. The staff there on our wedding day was more than exceptional, they were extraordinary and I am beyond thrilled that we were lucky enough to have them on our side for the happiest day of our life. They truly went out of their way to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible for us, and I couldn’t wish for anything more. The food was exceptional, we had a brunch buffet and people kept coming up to us and saying how good the omelets were or saying they were going up for their second plate! I highly recommend Old Field Club, they will ensure your wedding dreams come true”

“The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow was a perfect venue for us! We knew we wanted something a little bit unique as a venue, and this was it! We were able to have our ceremony on the boardwalk and then guests were able to move around on the boardwalk and the beach throughout the night. We also loved that we were able to have our band and dancing in one room with dinner in the other. There is a lot of space to utilize however you want, so we used the outside areas for our guestbook signing, a photobooth, and a glassware engraver. We also got super lucky with a sunset too! They were very accommodating with any requests that we had prior to the day, and made sure that we were taken care of throughout our day. Everytime myself or my husband turned around someone from the Pavilion was making sure we were fed, had a drink or needed anything! Tarek, Henry and Anthony were extremely attentive throughout the night. Our guests were raving about the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and midnight snacks. We also added the hotdog cart for an exit station and ended up adding passed desserts which we loved! Just a note that this venue is being taken over by a new company so I’m not sure what changes are being made!”
