We got married at Ipswich Country Club in August of 2023 and highly recommend touring the venue during your search! We worked closely with Deb, who went above and beyond for us throughout the entire wedding planning process -- she made us feel like we were in good hands and we always felt like she was truly devoted to making our wedding day the best day of our lives. The rest of the event staff (especially Erin and Adam) were also very professional, attentive, and made us feel as if we were visiting close friends every time we arrived at the venue for a meeting.
We live in a time where so many couples are picking rustic barns, elegant mansions, and waterfront properties for their wedding venues, however the second we visited Ipswich Country Club in 2022, we were absolutely blown away by the well-kept community and golf course. With a large outdoor terrace (perfect for cocktail hour) overlooking lush greens that appear to go on forever and a classic ballroom with ceiling-to-floor windows, we felt it was the most perfect place for a wedding. Our guests agreed!
On top of that, the food was fantastic and many of our guests have complimented that as well. The coconut shrimp, grilled cheese shooters. and filet mignon were all especially hits.
We're so grateful to everyone at ICC who made this our best day ever!
Words can't really describe how great of a venue the Ipswich Country Club is, everything was taken care of from top to bottom. A lot of it, of course, has to do with Melissa and her entire team. They just know how to take care of people, they know how to throw a hell of a party.
Melissa was easygoing and professional, she was the best to work with. She made us and our family feel very welcome, we couldn't of asked for a better director/host. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and beyond helpful. Her experience with weddings is unmatched.
The location is really the perfect place for a wedding, warm and intimate. Our wedding was in mid/late August, the gardens were absolutely beautiful. The large deck was perfect for folks to go outside, enjoy the view, and get fresh air. They have fire pits on the deck for folks to sit by the fire, it was perfect as the evening hours got a little cooler.
The food and drink were superb, we had a chicken/steak/vegan menu and everything came out delicious. The portions are also very generous, no one left hungry. Cooking for 100+ guests isn't easy and I will tell you that their chef knows what he/she is doing because everyone raved about the food. The bar did a great job, at no point were there long lines. The servers were also super friendly, all smiles.
Everyone of our friends and family raved about the wedding, calling it the classiest wedding they have been to. We honestly do not have anything bad to report, these folks are in a league of their own.
My Husband and I had our wedding here in December, and had the best time. We are so happy we booked with Ipswich Country Club! First of all, Melissa was amazing - responsive and super helpful throughout (almost 2 years of changing dates due to COVID/ changing our minds with what we wanted more than once). Melissa not only helped throughout the process, but also brought our winter wedding vision to life. Everything was beautiful, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great, and we had such a blast. If you choose to book your wedding here, you won't regret it!

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Ipswich Country Club, and it was the most wonderful experience I could have ever asked for. Melissa was second to none in her coordination and assistance throughout the entire process. She is professional, classy, funny, and kind and made the planning so much fun and so easy! On the evening of, the weather was perfect, and we got to enjoy the GORGEOUS views from the outside terrace, which all of our guests told us was the most stunning rehearsal dinner venue they had ever attended. Pradeep was incredible assisting me through the whole night with the timing of the dinner, champagne toast, etc. and he was such a fun and nice presence. Abbey and Abbie were also fantastic as bartender and server, they were so much fun and all of our guests had an even better time because of their wonderful personalities. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to plan a wedding or any event!

My husband and I cannot say enough how amazing this venue was!! We highly recommend getting married here, you will not be disappointed! Our day was absolutely perfect and we had just the most amazing time. The wedding coordinator, Melissa, is the highlight of this venue. She really took control of the reception and kept the day running smoothly, all while making sure everyone was having a blast. Every tiny detail was accounted for and she made sure everything was perfect. My husband and I are still in awe that she fed us our drinks while we were taking pictures haha! We were just so pleased with how everything went and are so thankful for Melissa's help in making this day the day of our dreams!

Melissa Nolet (And Ipswich Country Club Team)
I can't say enough amazing things about working with Melissa and Ipswich Country Club. Our wedding was twice rescheduled due to COVID, and was originally planned for an entirely different venue. We followed our gut, and moved everything to ICC and it was the best decision we could have made!
Ipswich was so easy to work with, so helpful and finally made wedding planning fun again! Our wedding was the first done in the tent, and what I'm sure was extremely stressful, seemed seamless and easy to us. The food was outstanding, and our guests had a great time. I thank my lucky stars I got to work with Melissa, I can't honestly say enough about how amazing she is. She is responsive, understanding, and goes far above and beyond for every couple she works with. It was a night Tom and I will never forget!

en happier than to host you and your family at our club. This will always be a wedding to remember and go down in history as a first! Thank you for trusting in me and our whole team to execute this wedding day for you even in the rain and thunder and lighting, you both are real troopers.
The best is yet to come as you start your adventure together in marriage.
All the best,
Melissa Nolet & ICC Family
Melissa is the very best to work with!! The venue is wonderful! My daughter's winter wedding was just perfect - many guests said it was like a fairy tale or movie.
Melissa was extremely accommodating and was able to meet all our requests and needs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - which all took place at the Ipswich Country Club.
I would highly recommend this venue for any special event and will most definitely use it again.

My husband and I got married at the Ipswich Country Club in December and knew from our first visit to the property that it was the perfect place for us to celebrate our special day. We have so many positive things to say about our experience with the Club, but we have to start with Melissa Nolet, our wedding coordinator. Working with Melissa made our entire planning process and wedding day virtually stress free and actually enjoyable! Not only is she personable, responsive, professional, helpful, intuitive and flexible, but she also recommended top quality vendors who came together to make our wedding day perfect.
On our wedding day Melissa was right by my side and prepared to do anything needed to ensure that the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were happy and relaxed. She helped with every last detail from making sure my dad had his boutonniere on before he walked me down the aisle to bustling my dress to making sure I had my shawl, glass of water or lip gloss before I even knew I needed them! She is incredibly thoughtful and intuitive and I really cannot say enough about her. She is simply the best!
Our guests are still ranting about the food, many saying it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. The staff was attentive and professional and the venue looked absolutely stunning. The Christmas decor was exactly what we pictured when we settled on a holiday wedding theme, and actually exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a beautiful location for your wedding where you will be taken care of from day one, the Ipswich Country Club is the place to be. We recommend having your wedding there without hesitation and wish you all the best in this exciting time in your lives!

Kristine,
I do not know where to start with your wedding day and wedding process and you both were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I knew from the time we first that this process was going to be, not only new to both of you but fun and exc...
iting! Even with some "hiccups" during the vendor picking process the end result was more than I could have imagined. Your personalities showed through and was the key to planning this dream December wedding. I mean who else gets to have their dog(Ruby) as their ring barer wearing a pink tutu, So CUTE!
Wishing you bot the best on your marriage and can't wait to see more photos of the second ceremony in Greece.
Melissa Nolet & the Ipswich Country Club Team
The Ipswich Country Club was the perfect location to have our wedding last month. Our wedding budget was extremely tight and having to choose the right venue proved to be our first challenge during the wedding planning. Even though we originally wanted a small historic house for a venue, the expansive grounds at Ipswich Country Club took our breath away the first time we saw it. Once we saw the semi circle shaped garden and stone bench at their designated altar space, we knew we had found the right location for our wedding. Still, we had a limited budget. So after narrowing down our search between ICC and one other venue, ICC was able to offer us a better deal which made our choice much easier. Everything from the ceremony garden being beautiful to the amazing food just added so much to our wonderful day. Being an interracial gay couple, we knew that we had to find a wedding venue that would be welcoming of us and of our guests. Melissa Nolet, the event coordinator, made the entire day so much more spectacular. She helped set up all the decorations (even when my husband and I decided to do all the flowers ourselves), and was able to make the entire day become a reality. My husband and I had so many detailed questions leading up to the wedding day and Melissa was able to respond quickly to every single one of them. Melissa helped immensely by keeping us on track throughout the day (especially when even when we were running a little late), without ever being overbearing. We could not have done it without her. The entire experience with Ipswich Country Club was extremely pleasant and we could not recommend them highly enough.
We had an incredible, incredible wedding at the ICC. With the promotional price, we couldn't say no to having our wedding there, and we were beyond happy with our experience. Melissa was just amazing, and the whole staff and community in the area is so friendly and approachable. We had lots of last-minute changes and alterations, and they couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, the space was perfect for our 100-person wedding, and everything was just so simple and clearly laid out. I cannot recommend the ICC highly enough.
Having our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club was the best decision we made. The beautiful grounds, awesome outdoor patio for cocktail hour, perfect hall space were all a given. The food at cocktail hour and dinner were delicious and all our guests were raving about it. BUT the best best part of having our wedding here was Melissa, our wedding coordinator. She went so incredibly above and beyond throughout the whole planning process to make our day perfect. From her excellent responsiveness, flexibility in meetings, and organization, we felt extremely comfortable that our wedding day was going to go smoothly, and it absolutely did because of her! She coordinated all of our vendors, made sure the timing was right so we wouldn't have to worry. On that day, she exceeded all expectations. She even helped carry my purse while we were taking pictures, individually brought my husband and I food and drinks, and the best was she cleaned up all the money that was thrown (Greek wedding!). She made us feel like we were her own family because of how importantly she treated our wedding day. Of course we noticed what an awesome job she did, but even our family and friends were commenting how amazed they were about what she did for us that day. Words can't describe how grateful we are for all of her hard work and dedication!! We wish we could replay that day all over again... thank you!!
Melissa is absolutely amazing to work with! Not only was the venue perfect for our wedding day, but working with Melissa made the whole planning process feel so easy and smooth. The day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing! The entire night was magical due to the staff working our event! All of our guests were raving about the views, food, and staff all evening! Wish we could do it all over again!
Ipswich Country Club was everything that we could have possibly imagined for our dream wedding spot. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, so when it came time to choose decorations for the ceremony, we didn't really need anything because of all of the beautiful flowers and greenery that were already there. The food was also outstanding. We were able to taste all of the menu items at a tasting before making our final selections and this was very difficult because of how delicious everything was. Also, the reception room is so stunning. Out of all of the venues that we looked at, this room stood out beyond compare. One bonus is that they use the chiavari chairs; some venues that we looked at charged extra for these or the chairs were so ugly that you had to pay extra money for chair covers - this was not the case with the ICC at all. The true shining star of the Ipswich Country Club is Melissa Nolet, the Private Events Director. We worked with Melissa for a year in the planning stages and over the course of that year she was absolutely incredible. Any question that we had, she had an answer for. The day of the actual wedding everything went off without a hitch. The tables were set up, place cards were put up - I didn't have to worry about anything. She also helped with my veil during photos (so sweet) and grabbed me a much-needed drink for my pre-wedding stress. She was there for me the entire time - these are just a few of thousands of examples of things that Melissa did for us that day. She is amazing and I honestly have no idea what I would have done without her.
So glad we found Ipswich Country Club. I knew we had found the perfect venue the second we walked in! The grounds are beautiful, and we were able to take most of our pictures there. The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful, and set up just how we asked for it.
Melissa is the coordinator and she is so helpful and is very responsive to emails. She was also 100% ok with me making some small adjustments to things on the day of my wedding. She and the staff set up the reception room better than I could've imagined. I had sent her just a few pictures I had found for reference and they did and amazing job recreating it.
I would absolutely recommend Ipswich Country Club for a wedding venue. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Thanks to everyone at the country club who was involved in making it perfect.
The Event Director Julia was great to work with! she will help guide you through your planning smoothly and was great with advise. The country club is beautiful and has been revently renovated, the staff was also such a pleasure and food was delicious! Lastly the price is absolutely affordable, and you get way more for your money than any other venue that is similar in the area.
Julia at Ipswich Country Club was such a pleasure to work with! Throughout the whole planning process, she made decisions so easy and was there every step of the way to answer any questions that we had. The day of the wedding she was there making sure everything ran smoothly, which it did thanks to her help. The venue is beautiful. The grounds are well kept and make for a beautiful ceremony and backdrop for pictures. I had multiple guests come up to me and say that they loved the venue.
I couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding! Julia is OUTSTANDING! She was professional and always helping with any inquiry or question I had throughout planning. The food was amazing, we are still getting compliments. The day of ran smoothly because of Julia and her staff. The room looked beautiful and our guests loved the deck overlooking the golf course. We will have amazing pictures after being able to go onto the course with my husband to take pictures. I highly recommend this venue!
The Ipswich Country Club was amazing! Working with Julia made the whole process fun and enjoyable! She answered all of our questions and helped make our day a dream come true. The food was amazing, from the chicken tenders as apps to the ice cream sundae bar! There were multiple places to take photos. Guests could step out for some air, but were still so close to the dance floor. We had a girl checking in on us all night (yeah Emily!) and felt so well taken care of. We could not be happier about how our day turned out. Thank you Julia and team for all she did!
Julia was amazing! She was responsive to all e-mails and questions. Not only did she help with decision making but she gave me ideas I wouldn't have thought of. On our wedding day all my family and guests told me how impressed they were with her attention to detail and acknowledgement of not only making sure everything went smoothly for me, but also making sure they were having a great time too. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue!
