We had our rehearsal dinner and a Welcome Social for our out-of-town guests to our wedding weekend at Club 86, and we were so happy with the experience! The interior is so beautifu...
l and unique and was a perfect backdrop for our pre-wedding festivities. The food for the rehearsal dinner was delicious, and we also served dessert and appetizers and pizzas for the Welcome Social, and all the food was very tasty. The bartender was personable and very kind and provided a wonderful experience for our guests. We worked with Alex to get all the details set up for our events and she was very helpful and worked with us to figure out exactly how to make the night successful. We highly recommend Club 86!
My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with our wedding at this venue. The space, food, coordinators, bartenders, servers, were all exceptional! If you are considering late nigh...
t bites, splurge on the pizza - best ever!
If you have a smaller wedding (110 or less) consider only having the bar in the main room. I took the advice of the coordinator the leave the larger bar open ( more options, cheaper etc) but it at times left the dance floor empty.
Alex was amazing to work with. We booked club 86 back in 2019 for a 2021 wedding. Throughout the Covid regulations Alex kept me up to date with all the new guidelines NYS was throw...
ing at us. The day of the wedding was an absolute dream. The food we still get compliments about— and they set up the room exactly how I envisioned it. Our photographer actually made a comment about the wait staff being wonderful and treating them just like a guest- I guess some wedding venues they’ve had bad experiences with. Also shout out to one of the staff members who found my bridesmaid some duct tape when she had a malfunction with her dress, haha. The next morning we returned for breakfast and it was a quick turnaround and again, food was great and they repurposed my decor from the wedding for the tables. Definitely would recommend.
Club 86/The Oven catered our wedding reception and we can't say enough!! We had chicken, pasta/meatballs, salad, and pizza and it was all SO delicious!! Guests kept telling us how ...
much they enjoyed the food! Highly recommend!
We have been married a little over 3 weeks and all I can do is think about the wedding and reception. It was honestly THE BEST DAY EVER.
Everything just fell into place so perf...
ectly. From picking the venue with Alex who listened to pricing and helped me pick the kind of reception I wanted. Also, who, by the way, answers every single email QUICKLY regardless of how silly the question is.
Picking out a delicious menu with Billy that every single person has been raving about. We had stations for our food and it worked out so well. I loved that the food was out and people were able to eat at their leisure.
My decor was simple but I knew what I wanted it to look like. Terry listened to my idea and the place looked GORGEOUS.
It could not have worked out more perfect.
If you are having doubts DON'T.
You will not regret this--They know what they are doing and they do it perfectly.
Thanks for making my day so amazing.
My husband and I had our reception at this venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the venue, staff, and overall experience.
To start, the venue is incredible! We had ap...
proximately 200 guests at our reception and the age range was huge. This venue had everything for everyone. There were quieter places for folks to sit and chat, the dance floor was large enough for those who wanted to dance, and overall there was tons of room for people to walk and mingle. Everything was spotless and had been recently renovated; it was just gorgeous!
The staff were incredible. Everyone was genuinely nice and beyond helpful. Alex was the main person I worked with and she was extremely responsive to emails and was patient with my mother and I as we asked about a million questions. A couple of days before the wedding we were able to drop everything off for our centerpieces and other decorations. It was such a huge relief to be able to explain how we wanted things set up and to walk into the reception and to see what we wanted. For the set-up, I worked with Terry and she was incredible and so accommodating. Even more, she was kind and put my worries at ease. Finally, the waitstaff and bar tenders were incredible. I had a family member show up late and without saying a word, a huge plate of food was brought over to him. My husband was never empty handed because the waitstaff made sure there was always a beer in his hand. And for weeks after the reception my family made endless comments about how wonderful everyone was that worked there, by the end of the night I think they were adopted into our family.
Overall, I could not ask for anything better. I sincerely felt like my husband and I had a reception fit for royalty. The food, the service, the drinks, and atmosphere were all exactly what we were looking for. It was because of Club 86 that our wedding is STILL talked about as the best wedding our guests had ever attended (our wedding was a year ago). You cannot find better food, service, and venue for the cost; it was the most affordable location I was able to find that offered the biggest bang for our buck. What was even better is that our guests thought we paid about $150/person based on the quality of the the food (both buffet and cocktail hour) and the drinks...we paid no where near that amount. This review doesn't even scrape the surface of how I feel; I mean it when I say that I cannot recommend this place enough!
If your looking for a place that is fairly priced, has amazing food and service that will make planning easy as can be look no further. I cannot say enough good about club 86 they ...
made everything easy for us and helped make the day amazing!! They also don’t charge you for every little thing they charge you fairly (aka no silly cake cutting fee or napkin color change fee) they treat you like a normal customer! They were so great to deal with and of course the Venue is STUNNING especially with lighting the architecture on its own is beautiful but when properly light it goes from great to grand. Choosing club 86 for your wedding reception would be a smart move by any bride and groom (I PROMISE!!)
We had our rehearsal here. From start to finish they couldn't have been nicer or more flexible. The food is AMAZING. And the site is so cool -- it is like the club in White Chri...
stmas. We highly recommend for a rehearsal or any other event! Thank you for eggplant parm I am still dreaming about!
Everyone raved about our food and the service was great. I was not worried about anything the day of the wedding and everything went very smoothly.
We loved our wedding at Club 86! My husband and I live in NC and were planning our wedding in my hometown - Geneva, NY. Billy could not have made it any easier for us to plan our...
wedding at Club 86. The food is amazing - and there is so much of it! They are true professionals and know exactly what they are doing. Terry helped to make my vision become a reality by helping to discuss the set up of the reception. Our guests had an amazing time and can't stop raving about how delicious the food was and how cool Club 86 is. For those who don't know, it used to be a jazz club and it has that old school club vibe. It is the perfect venue for your wedding!
I recently held my wedding here. They set up the decoartions as well as packed them up for me. They were helpful along the way in many steps and even for last minute things. The te...

received many compliments on it since the wedding. The venue has a great layout and gives a real party vibe. It is not just a big room. I would reccommend this venue to any couple looking for a fun, party atmosphere for their wedding
