⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fairytale Wedding That Exceeded Our Wildest Dreams!
Where do I even begin? September 19, 2026, will forever be one of the most magical and unforgettable days of our lives, and Aqua Turf Club provided the breathtaking setting for the beginning of our forever as Mr. and Mrs. Penn.
Every bride dreams of a wedding that feels like a fairytale, and I can genuinely say that ours was everything we envisioned and so much more. From the stunning grounds and beautifully maintained gardens to the elegance of the reception space, Aqua Turf Club created an atmosphere of romance, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
But what made our wedding even more extraordinary was hearing the overwhelming praise from our family and friends. With nearly 200 guests celebrating alongside us, the compliments were endless! Our guests absolutely raved about the venue, describing it as something straight out of a fairytale. The food was phenomenal, leaving our guests talking about how delicious everything was, and the bar service was equally impressive. The bartenders provided outstanding service, adding another wonderful touch to an already spectacular evening.
As a bride, there is no greater feeling than knowing that the people you love most enjoyed your special day just as much as you did. Hearing our guests speak so highly of their experience meant the world to us. It was confirmation that we had chosen the perfect place to celebrate such an important milestone in our lives.
Aqua Turf Club isn’t simply a beautiful wedding venue. It’s a place where dreams become reality, where love is celebrated in the most elegant surroundings, and where memories are created that will be cherished for generations.
Looking back, what makes me smile the most isn’t just how beautiful everything looked, but how wonderful the entire experience felt. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for: romantic, elegant, joyful, and truly unforgettable.
To any newly engaged couple searching for that perfect wedding venue, I cannot recommend Aqua Turf Club highly enough. If you want your wedding day to feel extraordinary and leave your guests talking about it long after the celebration ends, this is the place!
Some venues host weddings. Others become part of your love story. Aqua Turf Club will forever be part of ours.
Thank you for providing such a magnificent setting for the day we became husband and wife. Our wedding may have lasted only one day, but the beautiful memories will last us a lifetime.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mr. & Mrs. Willie Penn ❤️

Our venue search was over immediately upon visiting Aqua Turf Club and speaking with Bobby Thompson.
The place has been in business for 50+ years and that was apparent in how the...
y hosted us, guided us through their organized process, answered questions we didn’t think to ask, and exceeded expectations up to, during, and after our wedding day.
Of the things that mattered most to us on our wedding day - flawless execution, beautiful spaces, delicious food, excellent service, etc. - Aqua Turf Club excelled and never sacrificed liked other venues did. The overall value was fantastic.
We found so much character in the Chapel and especially in the Wagon Room. The grounds were picturesque and make for surreal photos and memories. The staff was pleasant, customer focused, and efficient both behind the scenes and at our attention when needed.
Feedback from others during and months after the wedding has been so positive - people compliment the food, some of the special options (e.g., ice sculptures and dessert table), and the overall beauty of the venue.
We heard positive things about the Aqua Turf Club from many people before we began our search, we couldn’t be happier that we made the decision, and we will always recommend others at least strongly consider this for their most special day.
We look forward to our next visit, whatever and whenever that may be!

I can't say enough good things about The Aqua Turf. It was a dream come true to get married there! Originally we thought we were going to go with a farm/rustic style venue, but the...
prices were not realistic. We toured Aqua Turf on a whim and immediately fell in love! The best part of the Aqua Turf for us was how much was included in the price. Compared to other venues, Aqua Turf includes so much and the staff are SO helpful and attentive. If anything did go wrong day of, I have no idea because everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and punctuality. The FOOD was absolutely delicious and our maître d made sure we were fed and hand drinks from the start of the day all the way to end. We had a smaller guest list, so we used the Glass Room for our reception. It was the perfect size for 90 guests, and you wouldn't know that other weddings were happening with how everything is sectioned off! We had our own bathrooms, lounge area, bar, and bridal suite (not quite large enough to use to get ready for the morning, but we were able to get to the venue before the ceremony to change which was a big help). Aqua Turf was so helpful with dropping off decor, setting up, picking up, just with everything in-between. We spoke with Ryan and Jeremy the most, and they were beyond communicative and accommodating with us. I 100% encourage you to book with Aqua Turf if you're considering. For the price and inclusions, you really won't find something else that's reasonable. Oh, and did I mention the grounds are GORGEOUS? The most stunning backdrop for our photos!!!! Thank you again to everyone we worked with at The Aqua Turf for making 10/25/25 the best day of our lives!

venue is stunning—beautifully maintained, elegant, and the perfect setting for both the ceremony and reception.
Not to mention, the food was flawless. Multiple guests told us it was the best filet they’ve ever had anywhere, and the service throughout the night was truly impeccable.
If you get a chance to work with Ryan, you won’t be disappointed—he is wonderful and made the planning process easy and enjoyable. We also received multiple compliments from our guests about our maître d’, Sean, who was exceptional and attentive all evening.
Our guests are still talking about how smooth everything was and how outstanding the experience felt. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers on atmosphere, service, and food at the highest level, The Aqua Turf Club exceeds expectations.

ey truly go out of their way to make sure you are happy with every detail.
Alyssa gave us a tour of the venue and was our contact during planning. She was always helpful and very accommodating to all our special requests and needs, and extremely responsive.
Sean was our Maitre D on our wedding day and it could not have been smoother and more lovely. They took care of every detail for us, including walking me (the bride) to the chapel timed out after my wedding party, fluffing my dress before my entrance, bringing us water and snacks while we were taking our portraits on a hot sunny day, and taking care of us the entire day. Sean checked on us during dinner, making sure we had drinks and food. He also checked in with us about the timing of everything (for example, we extended cocktail hour by 10 minutes - a detail that seems small, but we really appreciated having 10 minutes to snack after taking all our photos and before our first dance).
Our food was unbelievable! Everyone was floored by how much food there was during cocktail hour and how delicious it was. During dinner service, the staff went around with extra food for people to have additional portions.
We got married in the chapel and had our cocktail hour and reception in Kay's Pier South. The grounds at the Aqua Turf are absolutely stunning and the ballroom is so elegant. We could not have picked a more beautiful place.
We can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else - the Aqua Turf really made our dream wedding a reality. The scenery is beautiful and the service is wonderful. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple!

I had WAY too many questions while planning and she answered every question in a timely manner and explained everything perfectly that I needed to know. Fast forward to our wedding day, they set up our wedding the exact way we were dreaming of. It was such an amazing day. We haven't stopped hearing amazing things from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had! Also need to give a shout out to Sean, who was our Maitre d', who made our day perfect! I wasn't stressed in the slightest and we knew we were in good hands. If you're considering having your wedding here, I wouldn't waste another second thinking about it! We couldn't have been more happy on our wedding day. Thank you again for Aqua Turf for a day that we will never forget!

I can hardly put into words how happy we are to have chosen the Aqua Turf as our wedding reception venue. From the very beginning, they were responsive to any questions I had and h...
elped with anything I needed. Once the pandemic hit, they tried to ease my mind despite no one knowing what was going to happen in the coming months/year. They made it clear that they were extremely flexible in terms of postponing or cancelling our event at any time, and even reserved us a second room that was available in case we ended up needing more space.
We did end up postponing from August 2020 to May 2021 and they even honored our original pricing. They worked with us on everything and calmed me down every time I had a concern about table sizes, room minimums, timing, etc. On our wedding day, everything was beautiful and seamless. The food and service was fantastic and the Viennese table can’t be beat!
None of the staff was anything less than professional and accommodating even though they have been going through a hard hit just like everyone else. Extra special thanks to Lauren for giving us the tour and helping us book, Bobby and Karen for being so responsive even when they were closed down over the winter, and Larry for managing our event and making sure everything moved along on time. The Aqua Turf is full of true professionals that know exactly what they are doing and truly care about their clients and guests, and we are so fortunate to have had our reception there!

Every single wedding and reception detail you could think of is never overlooked. We cannot say enough things that truly represent how much of a great job they did.

e around and ask your guest if they'd like seconds, they staff is extremely friendly, and they do a wonderful job at bringing your wedding vision to life!
I do have to be honest with a few cons though:
1. They do not help with the rehearsal if you are getting married on site.
2. They check people in by name which takes so long. I had seating chart cards and they had guests find their names and also check in with their list. Not needed and took guest awhile to get in to the room.
3. Our Maitre D was awful. He got us 2 drinks all night and we didn't even have any of our appetizers. Every wedding I have ever been in the Maître D always gets a plate of apps and leaves it at the sweetheart table for the bride and groom since they are so busy with pictures and greeting guests during cocktail hour. All the money we spent it would have been nice to have more attentive service throughout the night.
4. Dinner took a long time to get through, this was a combination of slow service as well as the amount of guest we had so I can't put all the blame on them.
But back to the positive! it was a wonderful night overall and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone just be wary of the above and talk to the staff about it ahead of time.

efore we asked for it. They even packed up leftover special Polish hors d'oeurves and gave them to my Grandfather to take home. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone couldn't believe the size of the prime rib!
We held our ceremony onsite in the Chapel as well and while it rained, our waiter held the back of my dress and an umbrella over me so I wouldn't get soaked waiting to walk down the aisle. They made us feel comfortable and informed us about every step of the ceremony process, our grand entrance and even how to cut the cake so both of our rings would show in the photos.
One of the other great aspects is that the support staff sets up all of your decor. A couple days before your big day, you drop everything off to your event coordinator and walk through any special items that may need explanation and then they magically put all of your wedding decorations out without you having to worry about a thing. They even created a way to hang my photobooth backdrop with no direction from us at all and it was perfect.
Anyone that's getting married in Connecticut should definitely check this place out. The venue is beautiful and even though they hold multiple events on site each day, we had no idea that a 600 person wedding was happening next door (we found out afterwards!).

nderful. The grounds: breathtaking; The food: delicious: The staff: extremely professional and accommodating. From the first meeting with our on-site coordinator Kelly to cleaning up the reception hall at the end of the wedding night, everything was above and beyond our expectations. We wanted for nothing and are sooooo pleased that we had our wedding at the Aqua Turf Club!

From the minute I stepped foot in Kay Piers South-I knew I had to have my wedding reception there. The room is gorgeous and everything I ever dreamed of. The day of the wedding, th...
e food was amazing. Our Maitre'D Chris and Lori were absolutely amazing. They were by our side for anything we needed. They kept the day running so smoothly. They also packed up whatever food we didn't have time to eat. They sent us home with tons of leftover cookies, pastries, chocolate dipped fruit. It was all amazing and my husband and I were so happy we got to enjoy it after the wedding. It's true what they say-you are so busy that day that you barely have time to eat anything. Make sure to ask them to wrap up food for you so you can enjoy the next day! Also the grounds at Aqua Turf are absolutely beautiful. This was another reason why we chose this venue. Thank you for making our wedding day so magical.

We cannot say enough good things or thank the staff of the Aqua Turf Club enough for all they did for us. The morning of the wedding, it poured and rained all day. We were supposed...
to get married in the gardens, and when we arrived there was 3 inches of water on the ground. They pumped, pushbroomed, and leaf-blew the water out until it was all set, then ran everything into the chapel and set it up in 10 minutes when it poured AGAIN as we were about to get started. Everyone there was very knowledgable, and made excellent suggestions to make the day go even better than we envisioned. They were absolutely fantastic the whole night- our guests had a wonderful time and we could not have asked for a better experience!!

I could rant and rave about the Aqua Turf all day, but I will try to keep it brief. We went to the Aqua Turf Bridal Show in January of 2016 where we were able to meet the staff, ta...
ste the food, and walk the grounds - we instantly knew we needed to have our wedding there. We booked our ceremony in the chapel and our reception in the Glass Room, and are so thankful that we did! The venue and their staff answered any and all questions fully and in a timely manner. They were able to work with every nuance we wanted on our special day, including cigar bars, memory tables, specialty beers for the bar, etc. There wasn't anything that we asked about that we heard the word no to. The day of the wedding was flawless from the food, to the reception room, the chapel, the desserts, the service, and so much more. Our maitre d was on top of every detail and so attentive to my fiancé and I, making sure we sat down to eat, getting us drinks throughout the night, coordinating our guests and every aspect of our day. At the end of the night, the lights came on and I immediately started stressing about all the things I would need to pack up and get home to turn around and find everything boxed up and waiting for us; the cake was in a box for us, our entire bridal suite was cleaned up, candles and frames were put together, everything was ready to go. Our wedding was everything we could have asked for and more, and most of that is due to the Aqua Turf and their staff putting everything together flawlessly. I would recommend the Aqua Turf to my closest friends and family again and again!

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about the Aqua Turf. From our first tour, we knew it was the place for us! The staff was wonderful and answered every single one o...
f our questions. We corresponded mostly through email and they responded within an hour of me sending an email. Alyssa worked with us to create our perfect wedding and she was a pleasure to work with, we can't thank her enough. During the wedding, we had 3 helpers and they were absolutely a blessing. They walked us through the day and made sure that my husband and I were comfortable, hydrated, and not hungry throughout the whole day. One helper even brought me my flip flops when my heels were hurting my feet. They did not rush us through anything, they even held up the ceremony so that I could use the bathroom before. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did, our wedding day was an absolute dream. Highly recommend this venue! (we were married in the chapel in the pines and our reception was in the wagon room).

We chose the Aqua Turf because of their reputation. But most importantly we chose the Aqua Turf as our venue because we know they do an amazing job and all the employees give their...
best in order to make our wedding that much special. First, the communication from day one was unbelievable. They knew exactly what we wanted from the first meeting. They know that the venue makes or breaks a wedding and they excel in professionalism. Next, the employees are top notch. Our Maitre d', Larry, was simply outstanding. He had everything in check and knew exactly how to run every facet in the room. Our bar tenders did an amazing job serving the cold drinks and the rest of staff were extremely professional.
There is not much else to say about a place like this but their reputation definitely follows them throughout the decades!

Everything was absolutely perfect, from the delicious food (and plenty of it, they offered guests SECONDS on their seated meals, including filet mignon!) and the HUGE dessert table...
, the beautiful room decor, candles, centerpieces, table overlays, etc. They did almost all the work for us and organized everything great. The staff was extremely attentive and detailed, catering to our every need. The dance floor was large and filled with guests. The grounds were gorgeous, our outdoor wedding ceremony was beautiful and fit our guests nicely, and it was nice to know we had the chapel as a backup in case it rained. Aqua Turf really knows what they're doing, they will take care of your every need and make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be and more!

Absolutely love the Aqua Turf Club! My husband and I were recommended to them by his sister who was married there ten years ago. Their service is still impeccable all these years l...
ater. They really take care of you there and make your wedding day run very smoothly. I didn't have to think about anything. They come get you when it's time for your father/daughter and mother/son dances, cake cutting, bouquet toss, and any other special event. My guests were blown away with how beautiful our reception and the grounds were. They loved how effortlessly everything went.

I have been to the Aqua Turf for other occasions but never a wedding. Everything could not have gone smoother. The servers were quick (and were sure to bring you a new drink before...
yours ran out without you even having to ask.) You were also allowed second helpings of your meal if you wished, which I thought was awesome. Our matradee was super helpful and always asked our opinions before beginning anything (ex: cutting the cake, the throwing of the bouquet etc.) The decor I provided to the Aqua Turf was set up beautifully. Even the days leading up to the wedding, Alyssa-a woman who works in the offices-helped in every single way to make sure she accommodated our requests to a T. Amazing night, our guests are still giving us compliments on the evening. The grounds are beautiful- we took our wedding pictures right on the grounds and did not find it necessary to find a "destination spot" for pictures because of this. Definitely recommend for a wedding reception.

onishing and gorgeous! We entered in on our horse and carriage and the atmosphere at this location was the perfect place to do this. Our guests all commented on how beautiful the grounds and the facility were. Not only was Aqua Turf beautiful, but the food tastes amazing as well. We are truly thankful my parents found this location and we enjoyed every second of being there.
