We got married at sea cliff on 3/21. We loved that the venue was different from the run of the mill ballroom we kept seeing when we were looking for a space. The windows overlooking the water, the outdoor cocktail hour space, the details in the architecture - it’s all beautiful and magical. The bride/groom suites and bathrooms were just redone and were perfect. We had so many people tell us that the cocktail hour and dinner were the best they’ve had at a wedding. Ian is absolutely amazing at what he does and handled every detail. He made sure that I didn’t have to worry or think about a thing the day of. They were detail oriented and thoughtful in decorating the space for us. The whole staff were so welcoming and friendly throughout. Choosing Sea Cliff was the best decision we could have made and we’re so thankful for their team, who made our day absolutely perfect. 1000% recommend.

Truly could not ask for a better wedding! I planned our wedding from across the country (in Cali) and they made it so easy to do. Essex club is in a stunning location, and my guests were raving about the beautiful look of it all. Also the coordinator and attendants were so kind and considerate, they listened to me and also made sure everything ran in a timely way. The food was great, the vibes were phenomenal, and for a 2025 wedding - pretty darn affordable!!!!! I am so beyond thrilled that we booked this spot for our wedding. If we had to do it all over again, Essex Club all the way!!

From the moment we saw the outdoor ceremony space, we knew The Watermill made the top of our list. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and on how good the food was. In particular, the cocktail hour food got the most compliments. The team was great to work with, though there were some miscommunications as we got passed along from person to person getting closer to our wedding. One person would say they had frames for our signature drinks sign so we didn't need to get any while the next person said they didn't supply that. We were also of the understanding that we wouldn't be seeing any other party when we arrived, but there was another group out on the patio when we went to do our first look. I found out after that there was another party that was supposed to have left, but they didn't yet. Still, the team made sure to usher everyone away so we could have our space for our first look and we didn't see anyone other than our own party for the rest of the night. I have to give kudos to the team for stepping up when we had a medical emergency. Someone in my family needed medical attention during the reception (he was okay!) and even though my husband and most of his wedding party were medics, the staff was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. Once we knew everyone was okay, Nick was very helpful in getting us back on track and getting us back in party mode. I appreciate him staying calm in that situation and making sure everything else kept running smoothly. Elaine was amazing. Every time I turned around she was there asking if I needed anything to drink, making sure I had food and was a huge comfort. I've heard that most couples don't get to eat at their own weddings and we had the complete opposite experience. Between her and my day-of coordinator, I felt so taken care of and truly appreciated everything. A DIY girl, I also made our centerpieces which did require some assembly. Shout out to the team for setting everything up the way I imagined and for helping us to have our nerdy wedding. I also appreciated that Nick got in on the fun with a Harry Potter tie clip to go with some of our centerpieces. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Watermill Caterers. I would just advise taking notes and staying on top of communication leading up to the big day.

Let me start by saying it’s been almost 2 weeks since our wedding at Stonebridge and Matt and I are still on a high! What made us love Stonebridge was the openness of the ballroom with all the beautiful windows. It didn’t feel like your typical ballroom, it felt open and airy. We started the planning process with the lovely Diana who made us feel so comfortable. Whether it was planning details or asking questions, we always left conversations with Diana feeling so excited! She really brings the energy and makes you feel so special. She has an eye for what works, what doesn’t and gives you the best tips and tricks. We are so grateful we had Diana throughout this process!! I HIGHLY recommend getting ready at Stonebridge’s beautiful, gigantic bridal suite the morning of the wedding. My mom, bridesmaids, flower girls and I were so obsessed with all the space to get ready, multiple bathrooms, bedrooms and the windows (they brought in so much light the pictures are amaaaaazing!) I had 3 girls doing our hair and 4 girls doing makeup, my mom and I, 14 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, and 2 flowers girls and we had more than enough room to get ready. Since we had an army of girls I loved that we were able to get there early. We were greeted by Dee the bridal attendant who made sure we had a smooth, fun morning. She was very attentive to us girls and ready with champagne whenever! Terrence is the MAN! Best maitre d hands down. He made sure everything ran smoothly with timing and always kept us hydrated with drinks and water on the dance floor. He truly brings the energy and makes sure you have the best day! We had so much fun with him! Diana, Terrence, Dee and the wait staff truly made our day feel like a dream! They went above and beyond and made sure every detail no matter how big or small was cared for. We are forever grateful for the most perfect day. Our family and friends raveddddd about the delicious food, cocktail room, ballroom and just overall how warm and beautiful Stonebridge was. THANK YOU STONEBRIDGE!

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

We could not have had a better wedding experience and a huge part of that is due to the amazing staff at the Pavilion. Emily helped us every step of the way. She answered all of the many questions I had, organized our tasting, did our final meeting with us where we went over all of the details and assured us that we were in good hands. On the day of, Tarek and Sabrina were hands down the best. They were there to help us with anything we needed and were checking in on us frequently. They provided us with food and drinks too. Sabrina and Cece were super helpful bustling my dress, and could not have been kinder to all. The staff packed up food for me and my new husband to enjoy. They were incredible with set up and clean up too! I got to pick up all of my things the morning after and Tarek even helped me load the car! If how the staff is hasn’t convinced you enough, you cannot beat the location. We had the best weather, perfect sunset, and views that no one could resist taking a picture of. Our wedding day was truly the best day and an unforgettable one. The guests raved about the beautiful views, the kind staff, and the DELICIOUS food (go Chef Ethan!). Truly the best venue around!

My husband and I booked this venue before all of the renovations were completed, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastal wedding vibe we envisioned came to life perfectly. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with, especially Mirian. She made the planning process incredibly organized, seamless, and stress-free. Mirian ensured that every detail was considered and went above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding. She coordinated with our vendors, accommodated our requests, and worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and for making our special day possible. The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The short rib was phenomenal, and the mashed potato station was a huge hit. From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. We received countless compliments on the food and overall experience. The venue was also extremely accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests. A special thank you to both Mirian and Joe for their dedication and genuine care throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to help us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, exceptional service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.
