hich worked perfect for us. All the vendors were easy to work with and were familiar with the venue. Jessica was so helpful and responds quickly to all the questions we had throughout the process. The details meeting we had with her was very helpful, she gave us advice on what would work well with the space based on what we wanted. One great thing about the venue is that it is beautiful inside and out so you don’t have to worry about weather. Our wedding was in April and it was rainy and cold the day of so we had to have the ceremony inside but it was still beautiful. On the day of our family and friends gave us so many compliments on the venue as well as the food and staff. The food was great and the staff were so helpful, attentive, and friendly. The day went smoothly and everyone including me and my husband were able to enjoy it and have fun!

Had our wedding here this past Sunday. Everything was beautiful from the lobby, to the ballroom and ceremony area. Rob the maitre D is so sweet and made our wedding day super easy ...
and everything just meshed together. The food is AMAZING all of our guest couldn’t get over how good dinner was. Got this wedding planned in 7 months and I thought it was going to be very stressful. It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. Jess made it super easy and way less stressful. I would 100% recommend the Essex Club to anybody getting married or any event

If I could give Essex Club 100 stars, I would. The staff is top notch and will go above and beyond to make your day perfect. Jessica is the best person to be handling your wedding ...
during the planning stage, she makes everything feel simple and stress-free. Rob, the maître d’, will keep everything moving seamlessly on the big day and Julissa, my bridal attendant, was always there when I needed her for anything, no matter how big or small.
The food is amazing (shout out to the Asian rice balls!!!), the grounds are beautiful, and the ballroom and cocktail hour space have a romantic and intimate feel. The price is incredibly reasonable if you do their complete wedding package. We chose to upgrade certain parts of the package but that’s totally up to each individual couple. I still feel like we got the best deal for our money.
We got married on Saturday, April 18th. It was the most perfect day I could have asked for!! I feel like Essex Club is a hidden gem and I want to take out an ad in the paper for them because people have no idea what they are missing by not booking with them.

k in September 2024 for our March 2026 wedding and it was the best decision we made! Jessica is an angel with answering by crazy emails, requests, etc. She made my husband and I feel like family from day one! She was always so honest and open with us for the start. Essex Club has an AMAZING staff that go above and beyond! They truly made our day come to life even more than we could have imagined! The staff, venue, food, experience, everything was top notch. I highly recommend Essex Club to any newly engaged couple. They will make your wedding planning process so easy and smooth. The food at our wedding was so good all our guests raved about it! We went with the package and highly recommend! We did a few upgrades at extra costs but that’s just preference! All the vendors you can choose from are so nice and easy to talk too so it was hard to narrow it down to the final ones. Jessica at Essex Club is the main reason why we booked with them. She is so kind, calm, respectful, responsive and talented! You are in GREAT hands when you book with Essex Club!!

Our wed...
ding coordinator Jessica, was so accommodating and patient with all of my requests throughout the planning process. Her organization and attention to detail made everything feel seamless and stress-free. In addition, her attention to detail in decorating each area of the venue was spectacular. While we couldn’t get married outside, Jessica ensured they would do everything possible to make inside just as beautiful for our ceremony.
A special thanks to the chef for working with us on the menu and tweaking dishes to suit our vision. The food was absolutely delicious and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.
The bridal attendant Jalyssa and maitre d, Jansi were more than I could’ve asked for. Their attentiveness and professionalism on the day of the wedding truly stood out. They made sure everything ran like clockwork, and it allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
We went with the package deal wedding and used all of the preferred vendors offered and I’m so glad I did. It made planning so simple and easy. Once we signed the contact, each vendor reached out immediately and made the process effortless for me, which I appreciate more than anything as a full time working mom, I didn’t have a lot of extra time to shop around for vendors. For anyone looking to have a wedding, I highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed. I’m already sad it’s over but hoping I have an event that comes up so I can use Essex Club.
We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s hard work, kindness, and dedication. They helped bring our dream day to life, and we’ll never forget it.
With heartfelt thanks, The Trowbridge’s

I really wanted an outdoor ceremony, and Essex was happy to help me make that vision come true (and thankfully the weather worked in our favor). The level of service and attention to detail was outstanding, and our guests raved about the quality of the food and drinks. The package that is offered truly helps reduce wedding stress as the vendors are familiar with Essex and were very reliable. We could not have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Essex Club to any couple looking for a stress-free and memorable wedding celebration.

rom the early planning stages, Jessica had ensured all of my crazy questions/needs were met instantly. Day of, my bridal attendant Jalissa was AMAZING!! She took care of everything I asked all night long and was the sweetest. Our Matire D, Rob, was absolutely amazing he felt like family to us. From all the vendors used within our vendor package, back to the staff it seriously was the most special night of my life. Every detail I had was thought of and taken care of with no hesitation or question asked. Food was also 10/10 every single one of my guests have texted me throughout the weekend raving how delicious everything was! I could go on and on but the staff knows how special they were to me and how amazing they made me and my husband feel and made my day simply perfect. Love you guys!!
P.S book your wedding/ events here !! You will be in great hands.

They even surprised me with my favorite ice cream on the ice cream bar! Their expertise truly made the event an unforgettable experience. They are a fantastic team and made my bridal shower a perfect day. Can’t wait to come back for another event!

Our Wedding at The Essex Club
We recently held our wedding at The Essex Club and overall had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing delicious and beautifully p...
resented. We had 135 guests, including ourselves, but the maître d’ told us we had 138. We know for a fact three people did not show up, yet we didn’t receive the meals for those three absent guests. Considering how good the food was and that we had paid for those meals it was a bit disappointing and confusing.
Our maître d’, Rob, was very kind and hardworking; we truly appreciated his efforts throughout the night. That said, there were a few areas that could be improved. Despite asking in advance for food service to begin earlier, it was served much later than requested. Some small details we’d discussed ahead of time with both Jessica (the manager) and Rob such as how programs and wands would be distributed at the ceremony ended up being handled differently, and we had many left over. In addition, some details were missed: for example, the team didn’t realize we had a sand ceremony planned and had to set it up at the last minute. These issues were all handled on the spot, but they did add some stress.
Another area to note is clarity around policies and fees. During booking, we were told a lot was possible, but closer to the event there were additional charges or timing restrictions for decorating or requesting certain set-ups. The administration fee also felt a bit confusing. Jessica, the manager, did kindly allow me to decorate the ceiling; however, it had to be completed within a specific time frame, otherwise I would have been charged extra.
Finally, although we had an open bar, our signature drink required us to supply the alcohol ourselves because the venue did not carry it. A small gesture like providing it for us would have gone a long way and left us feeling even more taken care of.
Overall, The Essex Club is a beautiful venue with great food and a hardworking staff. With a bit more consistency, organization, and flexibility on details, it could easily provide an exceptional experience for future couples.

They were extremely responsive & accommodating to our family members, bridal party & guests. We truly feel this place is a hidden gem & do not have enough wonderful words to say about it. The food was delicious (confirmed by multiple guests), the drinks were flowing & the dance floor was rockin’ (Absolute DJ). Our photographer & cinematographer capture the magic of the day and venue, thanks Focus Studios.

On the big day, Rob, the maitre d’, went above and beyond. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—he handled every detail with such professionalism and care. Before the reception began, he walked me through everything to ensure it went exactly as I envisioned.
Jancy, the bridal attendant, was amazing too. She greeted me the moment I stepped out of the limo and took care of me all night long. Whether it was offering drinks or fixing my dress, she made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.
The venue looked gorgeous when we walked in and saw it set up for our wedding! We brought some of our own decor which was placed beautifully all around, and there was also some decor provided that brought every detail together!
Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was, both during cocktail hour and the main course. The entire staff was welcoming, happy, and truly made our day feel extra special.
We would absolutely return for another event, and I can’t recommend this venue enough!

I cannot say enough good things about the Essex Club (formerly Brentwood Country Club). The Essex club is an extremely affordable option compared to most places on Long Island. Li...
ving in Suffolk County, this is one of the few venues around that give off ballroom/ country club vibes. I had a bit of sticker shock when first getting quotes from venues and started to re think the whole having a big wedding thing, and then I came across the Essex Club. They have a great package and they are a Lessing’s venue. Not only was I able to get a great package, but because my wedding was the second week of November, I was able to get winter pricing compared to fall. This allowed me to book a Saturday night wedding without needing an insane minimum. Jessica at Essex club is truly amazing, and makes your day flawless with her attention to detail. I had a minor mishap with a different vendor day of the wedding and Jessica called them herself and had them fix it within 20 minutes, no questions asked. Because they only do one wedding at a time, their main focus is you all day and you are able to come to the venue 2 hours prior to your cocktail hour ( so no need for another place to take pictures). The food was amazing, and we got so many compliments. We had a very intimate wedding of about 100 people and the 10 tables of 10 was honestly the perfect fit. We got so many compliments on our choice of venue. The Essex Club is truly a hidden gem with a staff that makes you feel like part of the family.

I hosted my wedding on June 21st, 2024 at Essex Club and can't think of another place to do it. The service was exceptional from beginning to end, and the price was affordable. The...
manager was excellent at helping us stay on track and provided helpful advice leading towards the wedding. The management also ensured the cake, flowers, flower wall, decorations etc., were on time. The maitre d and bridal attendant provided by the venues were live savers. They helped me through the wedding and guided me through the whole process. Let me give you some examples of how efficient they were. My videographer was leaving early, so the matre d ensured I cut the cake early so the videographer could film it. He also helped us rehearse before the wedding so everything was planned out. My dress broke during the reception, and the bridal attendant sewed in. Thank you, Essex, for the Amazing work. I highly recommend Essex to anyone searching for exceptional service.

If you are looking for a venue that is absolutely beautiful without spending a down payment on a house check them out! My husband and I toured 7-10 venues before deciding to tour t...
his place and once we did we both knew we were choosing here. We had a small 107 people wedding because anything more just seemed like too much. We had seen the venue set up a week before for a 140 person wedding and it was so nicely done. This venue offers everything and then some. Beautiful separate cocktail hour rooms (unlike some of the venues we visited that were double the money). Reception room was spread out and so nice! A gazebo area for guests to hang out and take cute pictures. The bartenders were on point with every drink and the food was amazing! The staff was beyond great, so attentive and responsive whenever needed. Their vendors were super convenient and very affordable. All in all I am so glad we chose this venue. It doesn’t get talked about enough and frankly I don’t know why. It is one of the nicest venues I have been to and didn’t make me feel like I was going broke. Take a tour and see what they can truly offer you!

There are no real words to express how much this venue really impressed me we have done a few events with them before and they have always delivered but when we decided to hold our...
wedding we really got to see how incredible they really were Jessica Robert and Jansi where absolutely perfect, kind, attentive, it feels like in many ways they became a part of our family and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for everything they have done for us the food was incredible best i have ever had. All the staff was very friendly and appreciative. This is really the only stop for events and weddings
We have been frequenting The Essex Club for the last several years. We run small gatherings for our friends on a yearly basis. The thought of having our wedding there had always seemed an unattainable goal in our minds until Robert came to us with everything we'd need to get that done. We were blown away at the deals that were offered, and overnight what had become a distant dream of getting married became something actually obtainable due to the very fair prices and arrangements that the Essex club offered. They were with us every step of the way all the way from hiring the photographer, hiring the florist, hiring the bakery, and even hiring the DJ. They even hosted open nights to try out the various appetizers and food choices that were available to us!
From day one, this venue has always had our best interests in mind. It's why we've been coming back to them for years. They aren't just looking to get the maximum amount of money from you, and it's refreshing in this day and age to find a venue that not only cares that your event goes off without a hitch, but really makes you feel like you're valued members of their family.
Robert and the rest of the staff of this venue stand head and shoulders above any other venue for this quality. If we could get married twice, we'd do it here a second time. EVERYONE told us that something goes wrong on the wedding day. Not ours. Essex Club was perfect. Flawless even. The food was also incredible and they went out of their way to accommodate us if we needed to make any changes or substitutions.
If you're looking for a venue, give this place a visit. We made memories at this venue that will be with us for the rest of our lives, and we hope that you can make memories like ours too.

rt in that. From the moment my now husband and I stepped into the venue about a year ago up until our wedding night, Jessica could not have been more helpful, honest, and easy to work with. She was always willing to answer my hundreds of questions and give me an honest opinion. My maitre d, Rob, was the absolute BEST! My husband and family agree. My bridal attendant, Anna, was right beside me any time my bustle was down or my drink was empty. My friends and family all echoed positive sentiment… the food was great, the decor was great, everything came together so beautifully. I can’t recommend the Essex Club and their staff enough. They made our wedding!

The day we walked into Essex and met Jessica the stress release I felt from all our wedding ups and downs so far was amazing. From the moment we met Jessica I knew it was meant to ...
be. Jessica made the entire planning process easy, simple and stress free! The day of the wedding the entire staff was accommodating and so beyond sweet! The maître d’ Rob and my bridal attendant Jansi, made everything go so smoothly the day of and we didn’t have to worry about anything. When my fiancé got there early afternoon (since he was using the bridal suite to get ready) we wanted to add additional candles around our guest book etc for the atmosphere, as soon as he brought it to Robs attention, they added the candles right away and then touched base with us as soon as we got there after the ceremony to make sure everything was perfect before cocktail hour. The night was amazing, everyone can’t stop talking about the food and how beautiful everything was set up! We would not have changed a thing at all! Take a chance on this venue, I’m so glad we ended up here because I couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else.

Jessica and the team at Essex Club created our perfect wedding day! Very easy to work with, affordable, and all around great people. They made the process very simple with helpful ...
guides and vendor recommendations. Jessica answered all of our questions quickly via email, and was always a pleasure to work with.
The night of the wedding was seamless. The staff was very attentive and we only heard positive reviews from our guests. In fact, the guests all mentioned how wonderful the food was (made in house at Essex Club).
All in all, we are so happy that we chose Essex Club as our venue for our wedding. They made it a perfect day for us.
