Andover Country Club

er they had to set up for an indoor and outdoor ceremony and did a fabulous job moving everything multiple times! The waiters, waitresses and bar tenders did an amazing job! They were such great sports about wearing specialty shirts that were meaningful to us! Girls at the desk were awesome!!! They were always there for us and it was so nice to be greeted by such friendly smiling faces every time we visited! Hats off to the culinary team! We customized our entree selection and the did it without an issue. All my guest still rave about their meal!

responses whenever I had questions.

s, and was extremely detail-oriented. All of the food was delicious- way better than what we had at the tasting! Our experience while prepping gave us high expectations, and they totally exceeded all of them!

the wait staff friendly and efficient, and the venue was superb. Couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! We have received so many compliments on the wedding with many telling us its going to be hard to top this one! Thanks for making this a truly memorable day!

ters room is beautiful even when it is not set up. There are gorgeous views of the golf course from both rooms. Our event manager was Kate Crayton & she was awesome!! She did such an amazing job setting up the room! When we walked into the room after cocktail hour I was blown away by how beautiful everything was! It was truly stunning!! Kate checked in with us many times during the day & got us drinks and appetizers during the cocktail hour while we were busy taking pictures. She was so helpful and awesome to work with. The food was delicious! In fact it was SO good that we had a hard time narrowing our choices down! Being able to stay over upstairs in their hotel is a HUGE plus! The rooms were big and had gorgeous views! There is also a lounge area in their hotel where your guests who stay over can gather and hangout! We loved our venue so much that we plan on starting new traditions such as attending their Easter brunch with our families! We also plan on dining in their restaurant & staying over at their hotel on every anniversary! Thank you so much Andover Country Club! You made our wedding day a dream come true!

on our wedding day, we got married under the covered balcony and it was still absolutely beautiful! We wouldn't trade our experience for anything, and we would easily recommend this venue to anyone!

of guests who commented on how fabulous everything was. And our event planner, Kate Crayton, was the best! Thank you, A.C.C. for helping make this special day so memorable!

ordinator was Julia, who was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely organized, attentive to every detail that we needed to go over and that I requested to include in the night and always quick to communicate back with me. Throughout the entire night, from the minute we arrived until we left, there was no problems at all with food, timing, or any other vendors that needed to coordinate with the Andover Country Club. They put on events all the time, so they have the utmost experience and the best suggestions for making your night go smoothly. I would recommend them to any couple seeking out a venue for their wedding, or really for any function.

o enjoy and for pictures - The wait staff was fantastic, very attentive to the guests and to my husband and me - The food was delicious (guests had a choice of pumpkin & cranberry stuffed chicken or prime rib and everyone loved them) - The ACC was able to accommodate my husband's gluten-sensitive family members - The room had a large dance floor that was set far enough away from the dinner tables. The room also had its own bar and the room overlooked the green. - We stayed right at the ACC that night in one of their lovely Jacuzzi suites. We were not required by the country club to book a certain number of rooms for guests Here are some places they could have improved on. - I would have liked a more attentive wedding coordinator. I am very much a planner, and I felt like I was on the back burner until our day drew nearer. By that, I mean an e-mail here or there would be left unanswered/answered late, or I would have to call the executive office to get someone else to help me (I suggest Traci, if you book the ACC! She was great!) From my wedding coordinator, I was receiving emails the day before the wedding when it could have been squared away long before that. She was also not as visible during the reception as I would have preferred. I had questions at the reception and no one to answer them without me having to go find her, which I wasn't going to do when I had a room full of guests. Fortunately, my husband and I booked incredible vendors (photography by Peter Clayman at NH Images and Bert at Ford Flowers) who went above and beyond that evening, so the day really went off without a glitch. Bert made sure the room was set up the way I wanted and Peter was able to direct when we should eat, when we should take pictures, when we should greet guests...etc. - There were a few miscellaneous things that could have been better as well. For some reason, there were no dishes next to the desserts. I guess guests were supposed to carry their pastries back to their tables with their hands? When my mom asked our wedding coordinator about the dishes, she responded by saying she would get my mother a dish...But my mom meant that the guests should have plates. Just a minor detail, I don't think guests noticed or cared much. - Speaking of pastries, when we booked the room, we were told we could bring in pastries from a reputable bakery, so long as they had insurance. So my husband and I booked a few of our favorite pastries from our favorite bakery (Topsfield Bakeshop) only to find out months later that we could not bring in pastries that were "perishable" because they didn't have room in the fridge but we were welcome to use the Andover Country Club for our baked goods. It ended up being fine, thanks to Topsfield Bakeshop. Overall, I am happy we booked at the ACC but I think 4/5 stars is fair.

e planning with Kate, every experience exceeded our expectations. Each encounter was professional, timely and positive. The rates were very competitive and the evening was unbeatable!

with all our questions! Shorty after touring and getting some information, we decided to book our ceremony and reception there. We loved that the rooms were floor to ceiling windows and that we could get married outside in the garden- we also loved that there was a 'Plan B' in case there was inclement weather ! The price was within our budget; shockingly cheaper than many places with much more to offer and beautiful greenery and areas with flowers and trees for pictures afterwards! We were assigned Julia as our Event Manager- she was incredible! There are simply (still) no words to describe how amazing, patient and kind she was from start to finish. We met her one night to go over every detail of the wedding- she was professional and offered great advice and options when reviewing our original plans of what we wanted. She would respond to my emails within 24 hours and was even able to make a change with seating with less than 24 before the start of our wedding! Julia always offered help and communicated via email and in person with every question- there were a lot of them, but she always had advice or guided me with options in the right direction. I couldn't have asked to be assigned a more competent and wonderful person to work with! The day of, she checked in frequently to make sure we were all doing okay. She was flexible with check-in in regards to our wedding party and other guests that would be coming (we had a ceremony start of 4pm, but check in as 3pm- she was able to arrange early check in for all our guests!). Julia arrived in the late morning to go over the time and planning of the day. She checked in frequently to ensure we were doing great and kept me posted as to what vendors were there and what was delivered and all set up- it was relieving to me to know that she could be the 'eyes and ears' and let me know everything was going according to plan ! She kept us updated on timing as we got closer to the ceremony time. She was awesome! Julia took us out on the golf cart after the ceremony to take photos on the golf course near the willow tree and fountain. It was all just amazing! Julia checked in here-and-there throughout the reception to make sure we knew what we were supposed to do next (when dinner was coming out, cutting the cake, etc.). It was an absolutely amazing experience. The way the room looked was breathtaking. Julia took us down to the see the reception room before the ceremony started and it was just an overwhelming and emotional experience for me, my family and bridal party. I had kept her posted on everything I wanted to have in the room, the layout form (completed that she provided us with), napkins, favors..you name it- she executed it perfectly just as we had discussed. Our expectation, which wasn't high at all, was completely surpassed. I owe so much to the Andover Country Club, Colleen and most of all, Julia for such an amazing and breathtaking day. Our wedding day will always be a beautiful, peaceful and incredible memory for me (us) because of all their hard work, advice, kindness, patience and professionalism. I would refer anyone to ACC...our wedding was so amazing.!

st visited Andover Country Club a year before the wedding, in June 2015. I was initially a little apprehensive about the venue, concerned that the cost might be exorbitant and that we might not quite fit into country club society. Both fears were immediately allayed by our wedding planner Kate Crayton. She was absolutely fantastic; very professional, welcoming, responsive to our questions, and was extremely accommodating to specific ideas and requests. My daughter had a very good rapport with Kate, which made communication between them go smoothly. Major planning events between in initial contract and wedding included the food tasting event in early 2016 and the final meal and table decisions a month or so before the wedding. My daughter and her then fiance attended the food tasting event and really enjoyed this. The food was outstanding and this helped them formalize their thoughts on the menu. Kate was very flexible with the final meal and bar decisions we came to a month before the wedding. This level of customer service made the process very easy and took a lot of stress off us all. During the wedding rehearsal, the ceremony, and the reception, Kate played an active role guiding and directing activities, prompting with cues, working behind the scenes, etc. She really helped all go off as perfectly as possible. Last, a few words about the venue itself and the food: both were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The garden for the ceremony was perfect, and provided a beautiful location for photos immediately following the ceremony. My daughter and her husband loved riding out onto the course in a golf cart for a few pictures of just the two of them. The Trumpeter’s room was perfect for our wedding guests (around 145 people), and we enjoyed having the Terrace available for extra space. We received many positive comments from family and friends about the quality of the food. We concurred; it was the best banquet food any of us had ever had. On top of all this, the overall cost was LESS than we had anticipated spending a year ago, which provided additional money for my daughter and her husband to save for other expenses. I highly recommend Andover Country Club as a wedding venue.

tor was amazing! She answered all the questions along the way and make sure that the event was perfection . It was the best price around as well as the food was so good . We highly recommend Andover country club for a wedding !

e, capable, accommodating and very sweet on top of everything else. Every request was delivered with ease. I think what I appreciated the most was that the team listened. Jessica at the front desk was a complete pleasure. Her organizational skills and humor took any stress away... she is delightful! The food was, in a word, amazing. We had a really fun menu that the guests are still talking about. Presentation was beautiful. Staff was attentive and just really professional and nice...All the venues the CC suggests to use are top notch and professional. All in all, our experience was completely wonderful. If we ever need a venue again for anything, this will be the place. I would jump to work with the same team again. Thank you all for your hard work and for making our daughter's wedding a fairy tale. Grateful and impressed!

nt like a dream it was that perfect.

out making us feel overwhelmed! The function rooms were all beautiful with floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the golf course. We are looking to have our ceremony there as well and their garden was stunning, even at this time of the year! We so look forward to moving forward with The Andover Country Club!

tiful huge widows overlooking the golf course . It was clean which seams to be a luxury these days. The service was excellent! From the people at the front desk to the waitstaff and setup crews. The manager was always available during the planning and was very accommodating. She was actually the same person who coordinated that day which is often not the case in other places. The food was presented beautifully and tasted great.The chef couldn't have been more helpful with different options and suggestions with the food. Having hotel rooms there is a big plus . Which are very nice and specious. They also have a very large area for pictures that you could also use for a ceremony place. Some people might be leery to have a wedding there because they do more than on wedding at a time. But let me tell you that they are very capable to make this happen without you even know there is another wedding going on or another bride there! Also a lot of people think they are expensive because they are situated in Andover. And that is definitely a myth ! They are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this venue for whatever event and vision you have in mind.

s day for us. We were truly pleased with everything at Andover Country Club from beginning to end -planning stages to the fruition of our perfect wedding. We can't say enough and just give high praise to Andover Country Club for making our wedding day the fantastic and memorable day that it was. Thanks!!

me. On the big day she was cool, calm, and collected and worked well with my wedding planner and vendors to ensure the event went flawlessly. The serving staff worked so hard and were all very polite and professional. Chef Elaine was also very accommodating! The food was absolutely AMAZING! While we opted for a church, the gardens are a very beautiful location to hold your ceremony and take photos. Honestly everything about the venue is beautiful! (I personally love the floor to ceiling windows and fireplace!) ACC also has hotel rooms on site which was very convenient for the bridal party and out of town guests. We received so many compliments from our guests who were blown away by every aspect of the wedding. I couldn't be happier with my wedding day thanks to ACC and strongly recommend you hold your wedding or other big event there!

est! On the day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing. Every time I had a questions or was wondering what I should do next she was there to with the answers. She even made sure that I ate dinner! We were really happy with our venue choice and we received many compliments about how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was. No complaints!

e had our reception in the Canterbury room, which looked formal and elegant. The best thing about ACC is the food! It is unbelievable! We still have guests talking about how delicious their meals were. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially our event manager. Everyone at ACC was happy to meet any requests. They kept our wedding fun and stress free! I have never been to a wedding at such a fantastic venue!

very helpful. She made sure our actual day went smoothly and that any hiccups were ironed out quickly. She gently pointed us in the right direction to keep our day and evening running smoothly and on time. Our ceremony on the covered terrace was beautiful, especially with all of the spring blooms, and really eliminated any worry I had about potential rain. Food was great and I've received compliments on the bar service as well.

eedy .We had an open bar which they already got paid their gratuity and they still were leaving money everywhere on the bars wanting more tips!

m the rehearsal dinner to the brunch for our hotel guest the following morning. We were able to reserve the entire venue, all three function rooms, (one for the ceremony, one for the cocktail hour, one for the reception) and all 25 guest rooms (which was very convenient for our guests). The wedding coordinator Tracy Pacy was exceptional, catering to our every wish (she even organized a beer tasting with a local brewery for entertainment during cocktail hour). All the food was outstanding and the serving staff were very polite, respectful and professional, our guests truly enjoyed all the food. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL, being a winter wedding, we did not take a lot of pictures outside (although the grounds are gorgeous), however the venue had lovely fireplaces and pianos which made a wonderful background for a winter wedding. Overall, I would say the day was PERFECT. Thank you to everyone at the Andover Country Club for making our daughters wedding day so SPECIAL.

d to our every need and even gave us a wedding planner, David Peterson, who was amazing. I would recommend this venue to everyone! Thanks (By the way my price includes an open bar for 100 people and open buffet!) You can't beat the prices!

ger and was there whenever we had questions was a smooth process! My husband and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend.

n onsite ceremony, the garden is perfect for this. The garden is also great for pictures. The food is excellent and Elaine, the chef, is more than willing to work with you on your menu. I also can't say enough about Traci Pacy, one of the wedding coordinators at Andover Country Club. She was a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive. Tracy does not miss a beat when it comes to the planning process and the day of your wedding. She keeps your event on track and makes sure everything goes smoothly. I didn't worry about a thing and I'm definitely a worrier!

and she was fantastic. All our guest said after that it was the best wedding they had been to.

s north of Boston. We had our wedding ceremony outside and the reception inside the Andover Room. I knew the ceremony would be nice outside but it was way dreamier than I ever could have imagined. And then the food at the reception was UNBELIEVABLE. Our guests still rave about it to us. Not to mention our coordinator, Traci Pacy, was absolutely amazing. I cannot emphasize that enough. Her calm demeanor, her anticipation of things I never would have thought of, and just her warm and comforting vibe - my husband and I were blown away. If you are on the fence about having your wedding here: do it and you will not be sorry!

ry Club was fantastic with the whole process of planning our wedding to the day of our wedding. So nice to us and our guest and very accommodating with pretty much anything!!! We are definitely considering having other events there wen the time comes. The garden on the side of the building is beautiful for pictures, especially wedding pictures and the view of the golf course from the ballroom is beautiful! What is also great is the rooms available upstairs if any I our guests wanted to spend the night! An overall great experience and recommend this venue!!!

the rooms and set up the centerpieces himself. The rooms looked better than I ever could have imagined! The room itself was beautiful and fit our group of 80 people perfectly. The lounge has a lovely fireplace that was lit and added that little something extra to the decor. The food was incredible! We had guests say it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. And everything was as reasonably priced as you can expect for a wedding. I would highly recommend ACC to anyone who is looking for a reception venue. It was the best day of my life!

h how helpful she was the day of our wedding. She went as far as driving my matron of honor back to the bridal suite from where we were having our pictures taken because I forgot something in the suite.

friends.

e best one I could find around. The food was delicious, our guests are still talking about it, the service was spectacular and our coordinator Paula Church was ontop of everything. Not to mention gorgeous decor and gardens. It was simply spectacular and our guests are still talking about it 2 weeks out. I highly recommend this wedding venue to anyone considering it. The staff took care of myself, my bridal party and our guests so that we could enjoy our reception with no issues what so ever. Big Kudos to the entire ACC staff who assisted with our wedding!

h all the spaces. David and Sheila worked with me and my family to make sure that everything turned out according to plan. I couldn't have been more pleased!!! Thank you!!!

stay within our budget. Having hotel rooms on site so that we could do hair and make-up there that morning made the early ceremony possible. Traci, our coordinator, was great! She had really helpful suggestions and made everything run smoothly on the day, despite the usual wedding day snafus. My one semi-complaint was that they have a large staff and it seemed like I talked/met with a different person every time I visited or contacted them (including at the rehearsal). This wasn't a big problem because everyone was very helpful, but it made me a bit nervous. Everything came together beautifully and it was the perfect spot for our wedding!

s my husband called with little questions and they were always so helpful!

his club to any couple.

embers at the Andover Country Club, so we gave them a call and were delighted to hear they had availability. We were able to work directly with Tracy, who made sure everything was done perfectly, despite moving everything with 10 days to go! They do tons of weddings at ACC, so they know exactly what to do. They know just what questions to ask, what to plan for, how to best flow the day, everything. And they are right there with you that day, making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. Also, the location is beautiful!

eryone to enjoy themselves. The food was great and they were very good with attending to any food allergies

sive room for the night before the wedding and when we went the tv only got a few channels, the handle on one of the dressers was hanging off, the door stop wasn't screwed in, it was just sitting on the floor to be stepped on. The weekend was great except for the rooms. I would definitely recommend it for your wedding or ceremony though!!!

ful and kept up very nicely. Plenty of parking for guests and we loved having the hotel rooms upstairs. Very pleased with them!

e rooms on site as well because those who wanted to stay were able to head right upstairs. The outside veranda was great too, we did have a beautiful day and that did help but overlooking the golf course was breathtaking.

e table and they did not keep the bar open for the entire prepaid time. The banquet manager was not pleasant and was unapologetic about any issues that we had.

breakfast there.;Some of the coordinators were great but the one that was assigned to us did not meet my expectations. I had a friend help with the setting up of the details for the ceremony and reception because I had a feeling our coordinator didn't have the same vision I did

picked it. It has a beautiful waterfall and arched area with gorgeous flowers. the coordinator moved the wedding along, but didn't rush a thing.
