Greentree Country Club

er, and ultimately, we had a wonderful wedding as the location. Scenery was amazing in Late September last year, and the whole procession went seamlessly. Be aware, the Greentree team were understandably very busy juggling so many wedding so communication did take a little extra pushing (extra phone calls and emails) but the wait is worth it.

nager) and Didi ( Bridal Attendant )... everything was on point, always in touch with a call or e-mail when I needed to know something, all the way through to the end of the wedding. The Bridal attendant was not only by my bride's side but also running around attending to other things. Bradford made it clear numerous times, anything that I needed, to let him know. Anything I did need or ask about, he addressed immediately. They went above and beyond my expectations, and anything that was a bit off, was met with something better. I truly appreciate the work and effort they all put into the wedding. I did not hear a single complaint from anyone about anything, from the food to the service, everything went smoothly. Since I am the groom who is typing this, I can speak mostly for Bradford at the wedding as he was the one for me, running around, making sure everything was in order, any question I had was answered, any minor issue I had was dealt with and done with. Just a great crowd of people to deal with.

have ever asked for. He was so organized and so on top of everything and extremely nice. The food was absolutely delicious, our guests were raving about everything from the cocktail hour to the dessert. Not only did they make sure that my husband and I had food in the bridal suite after the ceremony so that we could be able to get a chance to eat (and a ton of it), they brought us every single dish available for dinner. We only had 1 guest who was unhappy with his food and they quickly brought him a plate of something else. My bridal assistant, Wendy, was extremely attentive, nice and helpful. Leading up to the day of, we worked with Larry and then Bradford who were both great communicators and super patient with my endless questions. I really cannot recommend this place anymore. We were so happy with how everything turned out!

out what the world would look like COVID-wise come August, but we liked the fact that we had both the indoor and outdoor options. Having the ceremony outside overlooking the water worked out exactly how we wanted and our pictures are stunning, so in terms of just pure beauty, you really can't beat the Greentree. Outside of that, the biggest draw of Greentree is - hands down - Bradford. From our initial meeting to the actual wedding, he was nothing but professional, helpful, friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We had a traditional modern-Orthodox wedding, and I kid you not that Bradford knew more about the Jewish traditions than either of us! He made the entire process so great for us, and delivered above what we could even have expected on the actual wedding day. If I could give Bradford 10 stars, I would. He even gave us the option of spreading out tables (for the party inside) much farther apart than normal so that people would feel more comfortable with extra social distancing, and that made a huge difference to many guests who were nervous about COVID. The rest of the staff we felt was just OK. The bridal attendant wasn't so helpful, and the wait staff and other support staff weren't anything special. We were told that we'd be able to lock our valuables in a closet during the actual wedding, but nobody seemed to know the codes or how to actually help do that. We brought in a Kosher caterer (Bradford was of course super knowledgable and helpful in that process) so I can't really comment on the Greentree's food...but the open bar was plentiful and delicious! In the end of the day though, we had a beautiful outdoor ceremony and an awesome party inside. Bradford is the best and coordinated whatever he needed to with all of the other external vendors that we brought in, ensuring that the wedding ran about as smoothly as possible. Definitely would recommend the Greentree. And Bradford deserves a raise.

e always answers the phone and Larry was great at answering emails. Cons: I would only get married here if you hired an independent wedding planner. In terms of actually helping you organize details, they were horrible. They wouldn’t even let us do a tasting and said it was because of COVID even though I heard of many other venues doing it. They were messy and disorganized when it came to planning. My whole day felt like a mess which was in part because I didn’t have a wedding planner but I thought because I was getting married at a venue experienced in handling hundreds of weddings a years I would be okay. The mess essentially started two months before my wedding when things were handed over to Bradford- the banquet manager. I admit I was a bit of a nervous bride and would send emails with ten questions in it. But sometimes my emails would get ignored and sometimes he wanted to just call me and answer them even though it would’ve been easier to have it written down so I could remember. I didn’t feel at ease or supported by the venue as the day approached. A couple of days before the wedding my mom and I went to the venue with all the decorations and everything and said exactly where everything should go and went over the final details. At the rehearsal dinner no one was actually there to assist or help they were just kind of like “sure- go out back” which I thought was a little callous, but it was how the actual wedding day went that was the problem. Apparently Bradford’s role ended when I dropped off the decorations because I never saw him again. When I got to the venue the maitre d greeted me and he was essentially running things from there. He was extremely nice but he immediately told me pretty much no guests had arrived yet and that sent me into panic. My bridesmaids, husband, and parents definitely felt like he shouldn’t have been giving me updates on the guests because it sent me into a crying whirlwind but how was he to know? So I forgive him for that. Once I was walking down the aisle though I did see that they did not decorate the wedding arch with the decorations I had purchased which was extremely unacceptable and then it offset me into noticing all the other things they didn’t do. A wedding sign I spent a lot of money on never went out despite me saying something to the staff about it several times- a well wishes for the couple jar was supposed to be put out front but was stuck in a corner where no one really saw it. They made a lot of faux pas and essentially wasted a lot of money I spent on decorations and that’s not okay. I felt it was pretty horribly disorganized and unless you have an extremely organized wedding planner- it is not worth the saved money or the beautiful venue as all the venues on that street are beautiful. A big shout out to my bridal attendant Didi though- she was so sweet and wonderful and did everything she could to help me and keep me calm. But overall I was extremely disappointed in the service I received from Greentree.

oor ceremony. The food was DELICIOUS!!!!!!! And so much of it! All of our guests were raving about everything they ate. The staff was also so helpful and kind - Giovanni and Didi really made us feel special the day of and they were so helpful with my dress! The venue also was so accommodating helping us during all of our date changes during the pandemic. They were great!!!

of your paper work and have a lot of patience! Our contact person was horrible in every way, she kept trying to change our contract we signed then would not fill out our forms correctly. For example I asked for a copy of our final menu two months before the wedding, and after three calls and countless emails I got our menu to find she had removed an entree and not made any changes we had requested. I also asked for our final budget for months, I was not answered or told its fine I don't need an updated payment document-this was incredibly frustrating as you can imagine, you are paying a lot of money for a beautiful event and my payment document was over a year old!And I was getting hardly any response despite my persistent efforts.Worst was a week before the wedding she called saying we would have to pay for our original guest count(50 or so more people) , not the lesser count which we agreed to and signed all due to covid. I think she forgot to mention this to us earlier, so a week before she rudely brought up this topic and said we would have to pay thousands more for guests we already uninvited at their direction. I had to go through my papers to prove our negotiated number. This ended up in her realizing her mistake but being angry I went through the work to prove our agreement, and she wrote me an email saying I was rude and to not contact her further...All this because I was asking for my final contracts . When I finally spoke to a manager, although he was helpful he brushed off the actions of the other employee I had been dealing with all this time. No matter what I don't think you should ever treat any bride/groom nor any paying customer this way ever it was unprofessional and really added to the stress of my big day. I was happy with the look of the venue but overall disappointed in the level of service I received and how we were treated .

orney General legally ordered Greentree to refund $427,000 in deposits. Greentree did not provide refunda until they were LEGALLY obligated to do so. I would not recommend this venue. Article: https://patch.com/new-york/newrochelle/venue-will-return-427k-collected-covid-canceled-events

o collect payments. Told venue do to COVID, Guest count went from 150 to 100. Manager of GCC tells me if the number was under a certain point, “it wouldn’t be worth” it for them to continue with the wedding. Requested I send emails about guest count updates weekly, Manager never responded at all. Multiple people reached out asking the same details on different days. Reached out to event coordinator for questions regarding wedding prep and he mentions then that I need to make a day to coordinate with him and drop off my stuff. Event coordinator persistently checked off a check list then ended appointment. No interest to hear what else I had planned, needed, or brought for the wedding. There was more on the list but I thought maybe this was the typical process and that at some point we get into more detail maybe at a closer date to the wedding. Just in case, I explained a few things that I wanted for my fiance’s and my wedding. (1) The ceremony processional is perfectly timed to the song i chose and it was important to me (2) I wanted the seats to be at a slight angle facing the aisle, I drew a picture to make this point (3) and I just explained the other services briefly. It felt that Bradford was brushing us off. We were presented with the final check and that was it. Two people separately ask for seating arrangements sent to them the day of, when the bride is getting ready for photos. No cross staff communication. Ceremony space was a disaster from a previous event. Dirty dishes, paper on ground, tons of leaves on ground. (1) Upon processional bridesmaids were pushed to walk back to back, with a 3 minute gap between them and bride - against brides wishes. (2) Aisles were fixed but blindly, not enough room for guests to get in chairs. Event coordinator rudely told bride she will “have to wait for chairs” to be fixed. Took extra time from bride. (3) None of the decorations were on the cake. (4) None of the candles were on in reception area. Lots of guests did not finish their meals. Steak was burned.

oicemail and we drove away. I received a call back today explaining they were sorry but he wasn't sure who took my appointment, that they are closed Sundays at 4pm. Did not offer another visit or anything else for wasting our time for our first venue visit! Just wanted to tell all other brides do not go- this was a sign, not organized, do not want business, and quality of service!

We reached out to GreenTree, they were not responsive with our complaints or concerns. As mentioned by others they have no intention of refunding or even a pro-rated refund if we cannot host the amount of guests we initially paid for. They plan to keep about $15,000 of our hard earned money that we put towards our deposit. They haven’t reached out to us, or have tried to assist us in any way. They’re very kind when they want you to sign a contract, but not as friendly after. I can’t put into words the immense regret I feel knowing I selected this venue. They’ve been completely callous towards us. Please take my experience as a lesson and do not book with them. Stay away!

totally unacceptable and I don't recommend anyone booking an event there.

incorporating our cultures into our wedding day made this one of the best days of my life. I highly recommend Greentree Country Club as your wedding venue. The staff went out of their way to make my us and our guests feel so taken care of. I will remember my wedding day for the rest of my life and could not have pictured it anywhere else but Greentree Country Club! Thank you so much!

f the sound. Our daughter’s wedding was awesome and seamless because of the amazing professionalism of Bradford and the team. Highly recommended!

patronize them again for another occasion.

yond smooth. Yessenia was my bridal attendant and was just amazing. She took care of everything didn’t matter what it was. Her and John made sure myself and my husband sat and ate that our food was hot and prefect. The people at GreenTree take so much time to make sure every detail is perfect.! Bradford, Larry, Magda, yessenia, Larry, John and George ( the pastry chef), chef , and all the wait staff I cant thank you enough for making my wedding perfect..!!!

hin our budget. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was that Anthony treated us like we were old friends, and was genuinely interested in all of our hopes for the wedding day. The waterfront grounds are absolutely stunning, the ballroom is gorgeous and spacious. Leading up to our wedding day, I felt zero stress about the venue arrangements- Greentree knows what they are doing! We had Arianna as our bridal attendant, and she was absolutely phenomenal all day. Definitely request her if you are looking for an attentive attendant! Our family continues to rave about the venue, and we wold not change a single thing about our wedding day. Thank you to Anthony and his team for making our wedding unforgettable!

d one happen. Last year was expensive, crowded, and exhausting and we saw a less than ideal return on our investment. After calling almost a dozen places on our list, I was starting to feel like there was no way we would be able to afford it. Connecting with Kristina Bucaj at the Greentree was truly serendipitous and gave me the hope I needed to continue putting one foot in front of the other in making this happen. The staff was so beyond kind to us the entire duration of the planning experience and the event. Allowing us to come in early and set up gave me respite and allowed this experience to be organized and not the least bit stressful. Seriously, I even got to get my own hair and makeup done which NEVER happens! Their flexibility ensured that we felt prepared and comfortable and as this was our first time organizing an event for that many people, it was truly appreciated. Walking into the venue on Friday night was nothing short of pure magic. They helped my dream come true and seeing it before my eyes was a very emotional experience. Trying to operate on a shoestring budget is exhausting and overwhelming because every dollar we spend is a choice of investing in a fundraiser or making an immediate impact in a child's life and no matter how many times we hold a fundraiser, that decision is difficult. Not only did they help with the venue, but they helped connect us to partners who also donated their time and services, literally saving us tens of thousands of dollars. They made sure that decision is one I felt comfortable with and supported me every step of the way. I could literally never thank them enough for that. I am so thrilled to share that we raised over $60,000 for the kids with their help. That is nearly triple what we made last year. They elevated our experience to being some kids in a dorm room trying to make a difference to adults making a real, direct, and sustainable impact. Now that we found our footing, we have the confidence in continuing to raise the experience into being better and better. I could never thank them enough for that. I think it's a safe bet that we would love to work with The Greentree again. I have been dreaming about this gala for so long, and The Greentree truly felt like this event's home. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for believing in our mission and helping children battling cancer. I don't think I will ever be able to put into words just how much they made a difference, but I certainly will do everything I can to try. I am so grateful for the day that phone call happened as it was true serendipity. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Kristina Bucaj and team. You made a true difference to the kids that need it most.

ct grounds for taking beautiful Pictures as well. Kristina Bucaj who was our point to person made our wedding planning seamless. From start to finish, Kristina was very accommodating and helped us tremendously including flower recommendations which were done by Columbia florist and our backdrop done by bdazzled events. Our wedding took place on July 7th 2019 and was fantastic from food, outdoor cocktail hour, and great service by staff including John the major dee. We highly recommend the Greentree country club if your looking for a beautiful catering hall in an ideal location.

d they had it set up on the water for the most beautiful view. My bridal attendant Erica was also so helpful . She was making sure I drank water and remained calm. Overall 6.23.19 was an amazing day because of Greentree amazing staff.
