Andover Country Club

Hands down a 5+.

hosting my perfect wedding!!! I had my dream wedding planned for a Saturday this past September until disaster struck on Friday, a storm leaving my planned venue without power the day of my wedding. We were left the day of with no plans to host our event. My family began calling any potential place where we could host the wedding. My father then reached out to the Andover Country Club and met owner/manager Jackie Cormier that morning. After hearing our story, Jackie welcomed us into the club, rolled up her sleeves, and made calls to staff who were not scheduled to work that day. She met with her chef to see if the wedding would be possible, and instructed other staff to prepare for a possible wedding. We were essentially making immediate decisions on numerous wedding details that would take months of planning in a time frame of 5 hours. When Jackie informed me that the wedding would take place that night, a weight was lifted off our shoulders that we can't possibly describe. We broke into a rendition of "Going to the Chapel" and proceeded to continue with our day. We had never met Jackie before... and we will never forget her and this day going forward. Andover Country Club saved the most important day of my life with their willingness to help and make our day perfect. The wedding was absolutely amazing and was my dream day. It was truly fabulous, and many of the guests didn't even realize that there had been a change in venue which was truly spectacular given that the wedding was basically planned that day. All of my details down to my ice cream sundae bar were accommodated and perfectly executed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Andover Country Club, Jackie Cormier, and her wonderful staff for giving me my perfect wedding from start to finish.

ocess she was responsive, flexible and always happy. Last minute changes never ruffled her and she did everything to make our day perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about it. The grounds are beautiful for pictures- it’s the most perfect venue.

been incredibly responsive answering my millions of little questions. With COVID, we couldn't meet in person to go over the details so she put together her own checklist that spelled everything out. We were supposed to get married September 12th, 2020 and had to push it out to next year due to COVID. The Country Club was impressively understanding and pushed it out for us with no hassle at all. I have been hearing so many horror stories of other brides not being able to move their date and thankfully this was not the case with Andover Country Club. The space is a beautiful room with an outdoor area. The package they provide is extremely reasonable and it comes with more than any other venue had offered. We went to a tasting with other couples a few months ago, and all of the food was outstanding and it was such a great time. I could go on forever about this place. If you can't tell, we feel overwhelmingly lucky to have found Andover Country Club and to be able to work with Julia.!

to work with, and the food was absolutely amazing. If you have your wedding in the Fall or the Winter, I definitely recommend the Cranberry Pumpkin Stuffed Chicken. The venue was elegant and there were awesome locations to get our pictures taken. Thank you, Andover Country Club, for an incredible weekend!

e and the staff. Julia was our coordinator throughout our entire planning process and is amazing at what she does. She kept everything so organized and made everything so easy for us. Everything turned out exactly how we wanted and exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure all the Christmas decorations were put up throughout the venue in time for our wedding! Everything from the decor to the food to the organization was excellent. Everyone who works there is extremely kind and helpful. They even provided a space heater for me to put near my seat after we took pictures outside in the cold! We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding and highly highly recommend anyone to use this as their venue.

b, I knew it was my venue. Other than the venue being gorgeous , Sheila and Boyd hands down made my day perfect. I am a perfectionist and Sheila made sure the every single thing was perfectly placed. Boyd made sure that the entire evening ran smoothly and that my photographer and videographer knew where to get the best shots. I could not have imagined a more perfect venue/wedding and it's all thanks to Sheila, Boyd, and Brianna (who is in charge of reservations at the inn). They were very helpful and attended to any question (and there were lots) or concern that I had. In addition to a gorgeous venue and helpful staff, my guests raved about the food (baked stuff shrimp and filet and stuffed chicken), my photos came out amazing, and the inn was nice and convenient. I highly recommend this venue!

With only 2 months to plan, our ACC wedding coordinator, Jennifer, did a wonderful job attending to countless details to make our day one to remember, including outstanding recommendations for our floral and cake vendors. We had our August ceremony outside and the grounds were stunning! We had our small reception in the intimate Swan Room and chose a buffet dinner, which our guests raved about. The servers and bartender were wonderful and attended to our guests as if we were at their home. We were concerned with our elderly parents in their late 80's getting around from the parking area to the gardens, and then the reception area, but ACC provided transportation via golf cart! They loved it! My adult daughter and I decided to stay at the Inn the night before the wedding and that proved to be the best idea! The room was remarkably clean and comfortable. I cannot imagine our wedding day being more perfect, all because of the services provided by ACC.

dding they had ever been to. Dina was at every step of the way making sure everything went smooth and perfect. She was so great to work with. We highly recommend Andover Country Club!! Food was amazing, grounds were breathtaking. Staff was wonderful!!

ic to work with throughout the process and made the wedding planning so manageable for us. Our wedding event manager Julia Dumais was a life saver and was so dependable and helpful every step of the way. She is an expert and clearly knows what she’s doing, and she pays close attention to all the details. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and ACC did a fantastic job of making the day so memorable. The location and attractiveness of the venue was really important to my husband and me as well as my parents. ACC is nestled in the beautiful town of Andover surrounded by gorgeous homes. The landscaping is stunning and the building itself is well-maintained and elegant. It offers a grand entrance at the front of the building that is ideal for a formal event such as a wedding. The views of the garden areas and the golf course are exquisite for the first look and bridal party photos. The Bard suite was really spacious and clean and my bridal party appreciated having a comfortable and private place to get ready. We had our hair and makeup done in the suite and it was so nice and convenient! The kitchen area and round table were super useful for being able to bring food into the suite. We received so many compliments from our guests about the landscaping and the aesthetics of the building. The garden area for our first look photos and for our wedding ceremony was exquisite! I really wanted a beautiful summer outdoor garden ceremony and ACC certainly delivered. The Trumpeter’s ballroom accommodated the size of our wedding nicely so we didn’t feel over crowded and it offered plenty of room to have a packed dance floor all night. As for the food, it was superb! The choice of entrees was broad and we received endless compliments on the quality, preparation and presentation of the meals. The waitstaff was always professional and provided excellent service. They were personable to our guests and went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a great time. They treated my husband and I like we were King and Queen for the evening. In closing, we couldn’t be more pleased with choosing ACC as our venue for both our wedding ceremony and our reception. I would highly recommend this place to any couple who is looking for a classy venue for a wedding that will make you feel special and will make your day memorable for many years to come. We couldn’t be happier!

e ballroom, the ACC exceeded every expectation my Bride and I had. Dina, Francisco, and the entire team at Andover CC were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every detail met our standards to create our perfect day. An added bonus, the Inn at Andover Country Club was amazing. The huge rooms were a delight to all of our guests. Not to mention, the food was mouth watering and everyone raved about the creations from the kitchen. 10/10 - thank you again for the amazing day you provided to us! - Jon and Casey

captured the essence of fall in New England. It’s proximity to Boston allowed us the chance to stay and enjoy a full weekend. The food and music were top-notch too!

re roses. Dina Leroux was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Dina & the general manager personally oversaw our wedding and were very accommodating. The Trumpeters Room was very spacious and bright, it is on par with the mansions in Rhode Island. The food was delicious, the prime rib was a large portion and cooked just right. All of our guests commented what a classy place to have a wedding. Our wedding party stayed in the overnight guest rooms and got ready there in the morning for the ceremony. They all commented how the staff was very helpful and how spacious the rooms were to get ready for the ceremony. Ford Florist, Perfect Image Photo Studio, Allstar Entertainment & UpLighting and I Dream of Jeanne Cakes all recommend by Andover Country Club we fabulous as well. I also want to mention that our rehearsal dinner was in the Swan Room and that experience was fabulous as well Our wedding was a wonderful experience at the Andover Country Club. I would highly recommend the Andover Country Club for a wedding.

otos and is in a lovely secluded area. Sheila was incredibly helpful leading up to our special day and helped to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. Although there is a day-of coordinator, we recommend hiring a wedding planner as the venue manages so many weddings, you may want someone solely focused on you -- though this would be the case at any venue :) We had such a beautiful wedding and would recommend this amazing venue to anyone looking for a dream wedding. Thank you all for making our dreams come true!

d turned out absolutely gorgeous, partially thanks to my photographer and partially thanks to the natural beauty of the property. The food choices were AMAZING and equally delicious the night of. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. I'd highly recommend the venue and the team.

nths and everything went off without a hitch thanks to Dina, our planner on site. We chose the Trumpeter Room because of the gorgeous covered patio. We planned on an outdoor ceremony in the garden. The weather was perfect! The staff was top notch at the country club, tending to our every need and making requested accomodations for food allergies and such. The wait staff was superb and everything Dina tended to was very organized. I have zero regrets about my wedding and would recommend the country club in a heartbeat.

rything was perfect. She responded quickly to all emails whether they were serious inquiries, or silly questions because of my jitters. On the day of, she was right there for us! She kept everything organized from start to finish. The temperature inside was perfect, they allowed us to ask for adjustments if it was getting too warm. All of the serving staff was very kind, and prompt. There is one server that sticks out, his name was George and he was absolutely amazing. He was so nice to the flower girls, and other guests. He made it feel like he was part of the family meal! The ice cream bar we got was fun, and all the guests loved it. The meal was also amazing. I absolutely reccomend the Andover Country Club, and would choose this venue all over again.

xceptional. The staff, grounds, food, and room are all top notch. We had some requests that other venues couldn’t accommodate but our coordinator, Julia, found ways to make all of them work. She was incredibly helpful and organized and was able to set things up for us such as tastings around our schedule which is very difficult considering we do not live in the area. We are so pleased we chose to get married here!

rk with and everything went so smooth the day of, which is a testament to her hard work. She answered all of our many questions leading up to the big day and was always very responsive over email (our preference). The ceremony space in the garden was beautiful for our October wedding, the indoor reception room was stunning and the staff did an amazing job setting everything up, working with our vendors and our own decorations, to really make the room look ten times better than we ever dreamed. The staff at the club were all absolute professionals and very friendly. The rooms at the Inn were all very clean and a great perk of this wedding venue (special shout-out to Elizabeth and her team!). The food was great as well and we received many complements from our guests. Really we can't think of one thing we didn't like about this venue. The staff really make it stand out and we were very well taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend Andover Country Club to anyone looking for any sort of wedding or event venue.

wedding. She attended to every detail as a third-party wedding planner would, but she was included as part of the package - the best bonus ever! Our guests commented that everything ran exactly according to plan and that the food was outstanding. Those are not common responses from guests! Our ceremony was rained out, so we didn't get to use the garden as we had planned, but transitioning to the terrace was smooth and easy. I didn't have to do a thing: Jenna coordinated with the florist and DJ and her staff so that everything was set up and perfect right on time. We were still able to take our first look and post-ceremony pictures in the garden, which was great! I can't recommend them highly enough. We hit only a very few snags along the way: one was that their event staff had a lot of turnover in the year between when we booked and the day of the wedding; that meant that we ended up talking to at least 3 different people about details. However, once Jenna was assigned to us about 3 months before the wedding, everything was seamless. We also had a slight mixup with the room block, but it was a miscommunication on both sides. And Elizabeth at the front desk managed to accommodate our guests at the last minute. As a final note: it is a country club, but it is not fussy or old-fashioned! You can definitely have the atmosphere you want, even if it's a relaxed party vibe you're going for. It's beautiful and formal enough to have a very traditional wedding if that's what you want, but the staff are accommodating and will let you run the ceremony and reception as you wish.

her customer service was above all others and we felt her pwn enthusiasm for our event. That won us over, and we never regretted that decision. the place was beautiful, the food excellent, but the service we received put Andover CC into a seperate catagory of "AWESOMEST". In the end its the staff, and coordinator that make the true difference. we csnt say enough great things about this place and the staff.

eable which helped guide us through our planning process and our wedding day. Our wedding coordinator was Dina, and she took great care and pride in helping us every step along the way. Dina was especially helpful the day of the wedding as she ensured everything went off without a hitch. It is with great pleasure that we unconditionally recommend Andover Country Club.

ve her! We started by getting ready that day with my bridal party in the bridal suite, there was plenty of space and the people working that day helped us get anything we needed to get ready (extension cords, chairs, etc.) The grounds were beautiful for pictures, the space was extremely accommodating and colorful. We used the Canterbury room for our cocktail hour, it was extremely spacious for our 200 guests. Our reception was in the Andover room, again spacious and beautiful. Everyone said the food was delicious! From the appetizers to the main course, the food was great! We definitely felt like we were taken care of at the Andover Country Club and would definitely recommend the space to someone looking for a beautiful venue!

l talking about it! I would highly recommend the Andover Country Club!

ith my unique demands! Due to rain and uncertainty of the wheather 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!

tail was beautiful.

mfortable with everything going on and was also quick with email responses whenever I had questions.

en answering any question for us! She was so responsive to emails, 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!

o helpful, professional and welcoming. The food was delicious, 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!

ry room and our reception was in the Trumpeters room. The Trumpeters 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!

elievable planner throughout this experience. Although it rained 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!

nomenal and the venue was beautiful. I lost count on the number 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!

f our wedding, but every visit prior leading up our day. Our coordinator 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.

s about the venue: - The location is beautiful for both guests to 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.

aving reviews! From the first meeting to tour with Barbara to the 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!

y club- she was extremely kind and professional and was patient 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.!

itial planning stages right through to the actual event. We first 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.

inish everybody was phenomenal to work with. For banquet Cordinator 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 !

Julia was our wedding coordinator. She is professional, creative, 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!
