I’m not sure where to begin with this amazing place. For starters, it is beautiful. All on its own, it’s truly so stunning inside and out. We were able to have our wedding here on 11/21/20 and feel so lucky to have done so. The staff is phenome...
nal. And Christine was such a blessing to have during this last year. From the day of our tour/booking, our food tasting and everything leading up to the wedding, Christine was there to answer all of our questions. This year was unlike any other. We faced so many changes due to Covid and Christine was just a phone call away to calm us or reassure us that NHLC would do all they could to make sure our day was amazing. I know Christine had to have so many hard conversations with couples, but we appreciated her candor and willingness to go above and beyond. And despite all the changes, we were able to have a smaller more intimate, but truly beautiful wedding. Our guests felt comfortable with all the protocols in place and still had a great time. The food was fantastic and a hit with everyone. Christine and Karen were there any every point in the night to make sure we were taken care of and having a great time. You cannot go wrong with the Lawn Club. The venue paired with the exceptional service and food makes this place truly hard to beat!
Dream wedding venue! Despite having to change our original wedding date due to COVID, Christine and her team were phenomenal to work with. We had last minute changes and Christine was always on top of it all. The Lawn Club is the most romantic ...
and aesthetically pleasing venue you could have. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend!
Amazing and perfect! We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding! Christine and her team are so great and have every detail covered. It was a dream come true!
Our plans changed unexpectedly due to COVID-19. We found ourselves needing a new venue and to replan our whole day. Christine was amazing in making everything come together in a seemless, well planned manner. The day wasn't what we originally p...
lanned but if I had known, I would have done this in the first place ! Great venue, getting ready area, fully staffed so that you don't need to think about a single detail on the day. Highly highly recommend!
If you are looking for an art deco fairy tale, the Lawn Club is your venue!!! From the amazing Director, Christine to the amount of care & detail they provide you with is unmatched. From the start the process with the Lawn Club was flawless- co...
mmunication was never delayed, help with vendors was always available, small details were never forgotten and the BEST was that they coordinated with our vendors on our wedding day details so we could relax- I did not touch my phone once!!! Everyone from Servers to Bartenders to the FOOD (OMG the food 10/10) they made us feel like the only couple in the world and made our wedding day so special. We are so happy & cant thank them enough. Truly a magical experience.
Christine and her team at the Lawn Club were absolutely phenomenal! The entire process was easy and the guidance and flexibility were most appreciated. Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, Christine and everyone at the Lawn Club made ...
our wedding beautiful, fun, and everything that we wanted it to be! Everything was amazing, from the food and service to the ambience. We could not have asked for a better day!
The Lawn Club makes wedding dreams come true! You would be hard pressed to find a team of professionals that could surpass what Karen, Christine make happen. They are simply a amazing. We hosted our wedding reception with just under 200 guests ...
here on 12/7/19. The Lawn Club is exquisitely decorated for the holidays, it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. If you have any interest in a December wedding, you must see photos or come by next December to see it in person! I can’t keep track of how many guests said, “This was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to!”
Karen and Christine have such a personable, patient, kind and professional way about them. No question or request is too silly, nor something they will try to make happen for you! Their attention to detail is unbelievable, and they make you feel like the only thing they are working on is your big day, when in reality they are juggling so much. Their guidance is invaluable and I couldn’t have planned so many logistics without them and the amazing preferred vendor list they provide you. The food was absolutely delicious with so many unique options. Our guests continue to rave about the Mac and cheese bar at cocktail hour! We also were even able to have my golden retriever come to the reception for photos! They are dog friendly! There was not a stone left un-turned before the wedding, including a walk through the week before and Karen contacting each of our 6(!) vendors in the days leading up to ensure seamless execution and organization. We were so proud to host our wedding at the Lawn Club and could not say enough about this incredible venue. You need not look further!
Amazing venue!!! Lots of old world charm and great photo opportunities. The candlelight and fireplaces create the most romantic atmosphere. Food is delicious (the filet mignon was a big hit!). Christine, the director of weddings, is so organize...

ief after planning all of the little details that go into a wedding. The thought and detail that all of the staff takes to set up and carry out exactly what you envisioned cannot be explained! And the food was AMAZING!! Every one of our guests cleared their plates and commented on how delicious everything was. Wish I could it all over again!
What better timing to leave a review than on our 2 year wedding anniversary, which took place at the Lawn Club on September 30th, 2017. Everything about this place is perfect!! From Christine exceeding our expectations through the planning and ...
execution of the wedding including the day of coordination, to getting married on the actual front lawn of the lawn club (we were the first ever to do this and thanks to Christine and the amazing staff at the NHLC our ceremony went off without a hitch). Not only is the venue beautiful but the food was out of this world! At our cocktail hour, my husband found a PEARL in his oyster at the raw bar (talk about good luck)!! Our band played on the stage all night and our guests had an amazing time, as did we! Drinks were pouring all night long and the staff and bartenders were amazing. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! I wish we could get married here all over again - it truly was the most amazing day of our lives.
The New Haven Lawn Club was incredibly beautiful. Super accommodating for guests with dietary restrictions/allergies and the food was delicious. Most importantly, I can't speak highly enough about the coordinators, Karen and Christine. They co...
ordinated every delivery and set up everything. They answered about a zillion emails from me and helped customize so many aspects of our day from the timeline to the menu. My husband and I talked about how when we spoke to them we felt like the only couple they were working with and that felt so special.
Absolutely amazing! We had our wedding there on 12/29/18 and it could not have been more perfect. Christine and her staff went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and were amazing on our wedding day! My husband and I are bot...

As soon as we entered the Lawn Club, we knew this had to be our venue. This is a truly unique and breathtaking atmosphere! The food was excellent and every part of the planning process was easy and organized. Christine and her staff go above an...

hotel and delivered our left over cake that we forgot the night of the wedding. The New Haven Lawn Club is elegant and the food is delicious - our guests haven't stopped complimenting the venue and the food and its a month later. Truly a hidden gem in downtown New Haven.

wedding coordinators, Christine and Karen, are amazing at what they do!!! Throughout the whole wedding planning process, they were always available to answer any questions in a timely fashion and offer any help. We feel so grateful to them for making our day so amazing. Honestly, they are top notch and the best of the BEST at what they do! Even some of my vendors were raving about them!! You will be in good hands with both ladies! The food at the Lawn Club is delicious. Several of our guests told us that it was the best “wedding food” they’ve ever eaten. We loved that the portion sizes were adequate, therefore no guests left feeling hungry. The ballroom itself is beyond beautiful. As a bride with a specific vision, I was unsure of how things would end up looking all put together by someone else other than myself! Let me tell you that Christine and Karen exceeded my expectations. Things were lovely! We even ordered a late night snack to be brought in by Pepe’s and Christine offered to set everything up for us. Our interactions with other Lawn Club staff were great, everyone is beyond nice and helpful. There are several great spots to have first look photos and bridal photos taken, both inside and outside. My husband and I are happy that we chose to have the Lawn Club be the setting for the most important day of our lives. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with great food and great wedding coordinators!!!!! Thank you so much Christine and Karen!
This past weekend we celebrated our daughter's wedding in New Haven, culminating in a reception at The New Haven Lawn Club. We just do not know where to begin except to say our daughter and new son told us it was the Wedding of their dreams!! C...
hristine Brush and Karen Wilson made it happen! From the moment we first visited their site to the day after when we returned to gather our belongings, they have been our go-to people! Professional, attentive, reactive to ALL our needs, experienced and always with wonderful attitudes!! We tasked them both with a very detailed plan and they met every item spot on!! The food, the Ballroom, the Cocktail Area, the Living Room - were all so impressive that our families and guests are still emailing, calling and texting us that it was the best wedding they have every attended. Comments such as, romantic, impressive, outstanding, delicious, over-the-top, well-run, fantastic and we could go on. Thank You, Christine and Karen for making our only daughter's wedding reception a dream come true for her and her new husband and for my husband and I as well! We wish you both continued success!

The Lawn Club itself is elegant and gorgeous, the food was delicious, and so many of our family and friends remarked on how wonderful all of these things were after our wedding. They also recommended all fabulous vendors, and communicated with them before our day.
My husband and I held our ceremony here and also got ready in their suites which was smooth and we would also highly recommend!
Thank you to Christine and her team!

o has a ballroom large enough to host nearly 200 guests! It's centrally located in the heart of New Haven, but set back from the street so you're removed from the hustle and bustle of the city - it's truly a hidden gem! We have been to many weddings, so we were looking for a place that was unique and beautiful and the Lawn Club is it! So many of our guests commented on what a gorgeous venue it was, how delicious the food was, and how it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to! We chose to get ready on-site (and have hair and make-up come to us), which was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process! The bridal suite is huge and feels really cozy - it's just a nice way to start the day, and you can relax knowing you don't have to rush off anywhere after you're done getting ready. In addition to the venue, the staff is amazing! Christine, the director of weddings, is the very best! She was on top of every detail which helped put us at ease, and was extremely helpful with suggestions and advice throughout the planning process. Christine will meet with you a few weeks in advance of the wedding to run through the day with you down to the minute, so you're completely comfortable with everything. She also called all of our vendors the week of the wedding to touch base, which was a great help to us! You can tell she really loves what she does as she goes above and beyond for all her couples! And although we only worked with him the day of the tasting and the wedding day, Andy the banquet manager was wonderful as well! We highly recommend the Lawn Club - it is the ultimate place to get married!
A superb and elegant venue, lovely, charming staff and gourmet food. Christine Brush, our event planner was like a member of our family. She made our daughter's wedding one of the best days of our life.
Such an amazing venue. We had such an wonderful and memorable wedding. Everything from the planning process to the actual day went off without a hitch thanks to Christine and her staff. Christine is so attentive and works so hard to make sure a...
ll details are taken care of. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process and was so helpful in choosing my wedding vendors. I received numerous compliments regarding the venue (and the amazing food, elegant decor, polite staff) as well as my DJ and Photographer-both recommendations from Christine. The Lawn Club is such an elegant venue, I am so glad I chose to have my wedding here.
We got married at the Lawn Club on June 3, 2017 and I’m still beaming from ear to ear just thinking back on that day. It was beyond anything I could have imagined, and the Lawn Club was a HUGE part of making that happen. Our guests are still co...
mmenting on our wedding - about how AMAZING the entire Lawn Club staff was! What’s more, our guests could not stop talking about the food, saying it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. This is not your standard “wedding food.” This is a top-notch, gourmet spread. Go for the pepper-crusted tenderloin appetizer - we heard so many compliments about this one. And the mushroom ravioli pasta is to die for. We added a pasta course, and people who didn’t even like mushrooms loved this dish.
And Christine Brush. She was key in executing our day and I can’t say enough good things about her. We ran into a transportation issue when our contracted bus didn’t show up for the day. She helped us remain calm and at the end of the night, helped coordinate Ubers for anyone who needed to get back to the hotel. And on top of that, when we were back at the hotel for our ‘after party,’ Christine stopped by on her way home to drop off a few items that we had left at the Lawn Club. Christine went above and beyond that day and we are so happy to have worked with her and the entire staff.
If you want a breathtaking building in the New Haven area, with the best staff and food, definitely make a visit to the Lawn Club.
There’s a reason you see so many five star reviews for the New Haven Lawn Club – they really are that good.
After checking almost every wedding venue Connecticut has to offer for our travel-themed extravaganza, this was our last best hope. To s...
ay it was the best singular decision we made during the entire wedding planning process is an exercise in understatement.
What makes the NHLC special:
- It’s not a wedding factory. Yours is the only wedding there that day, and the staff there is dedicated to making it as special as possible.
- The wedding coordinator, Christine Brush, is simply fantastic. No detail is overlooked. Anything that goes wrong will be made right to the greatest extent possible. She has more than a decade of experience in weddings, and it shows in her calm, cool professionalism and her guidance in bringing your vision to reality.
- They will make your wedding your own. If you have special requests, a theme, or something out of the ordinary (we got married with the seating arranged in a circle around us in the ballroom), they will do their best to make it happen. In fact, I think they quite enjoy it!
- Speaking of the venue, it’s magnificent. If you’re not into brick backgrounds for pictures, Yale, and its stunning architecture, is minutes away. The ballroom is old-style beautiful, and with the right up-lighting, itransforms to match your color palette. Best of all – no 1980s carpets you see at most venues!
- The food is to die for. Most people don’t remember the food they ate at a wedding. Trust me, most of them will remember the cuisine here.
- They carefully maintain their preferred vendor list. The ones we chose were all top-notch and did a fantastic job (HK Photography, Correlation, Vantage Point Films, JCakes, Candi’s Floral Designs). My understanding is everyone on that list is fantastic.
I could go on, but this is already getting long-winded. Best of luck on finding your venue and do yourself a favor – check NHLC out!
We got married at the Lawn Club in May, 2017. From the first time I even saw photos of the venue, I knew it was where I wanted to get married, the 1920’s-espue look and décor are incredible and a perfect setting for a wedding. Every aspect of t...
he Lawn Club was perfect. From the service to the food to the landscaping to the candles that are everywhere during the wedding; every detail made our wedding day everything we hoped for. I also can’t say enough about Christie who is the in-house coordinator. For the entire 1.5 years between picking the venue and our wedding day, she made the planning process so easy for me. She was responsive, professional, friendly and helped our rehearsal and wedding day run so smoothly. I can’t imagine having gone through this process without her. We were thrilled with all of the vendors she recommended as well. I can’t say enough great things about the Lawn Club and all of the staff there. We wouldn’t change a thing.
The second I got engaged, I was looking at different wedding venues near the New Haven/Fairfield, CT area. The moment I clicked on the New Haven Lawn Club website, I knew right away I wanted to hold my wedding reception there. I quickly called ...
up the Club and spoke with Christine with Fine Club Fine Catering and rest is history. She was beyond helpful and understood exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding. When I went on my first walk through if the club, I fell in love with the building. The entre atmosphere and energetic of the building was so positive and wonderful. The club is filled with little pops of art and historical pieces that you cannot find anywhere else. The ballroom is breathtaking. The chandlers are absolutely stunning and adds so much elegance to the room. The food tasting event that was held at the club was outstanding. We tasted everything from the appetizers to the main entrees. It was so hard to choose because everything tasted was amazing! When it came create my wedding timeline, Christine was so helpful. She was able to provide the best venders, recommendations and helpful advice. She is a true professional and cares about each and every one of her clients. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club. My wedding was flawless, exciting and the best day of my life. Thank you Christine and team for making my wedding a dream come true!

ery step of the way.
We were able to get ready on-site, which I highly recommend doing. We did both our ceremony and reception at the NHLC. During cocktails, the staff flipped the ballroom and the transformation was incredible.
Our wedding was perfect. The ballroom is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the thought that went into each and ever detail was brought to perfection. The trusted vendors recommended by the NHLC were all top-notch. We wouldn't have changed a thing.
Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. From the very start, we were exceptionally happy. After the ceremony ended and we headed to the reception, things only got better! Christine and the entire catering staff at the Lawn Club was sim...
ply fantastic! They were extremely organized, professional, fluid, and personable! Every guest was accounted for, every meal was cooked to perfection (and tasted delicious), and every last detail was attended to. The ballroom and cocktail area were decorated beautifully!

o talk to that I was drawn to want to collaborate with her. Also, the rooms were gorgeous! Throughout a year of planning, Christine and Daniella really made the experience seem effortless. They check in to see what vendors I booked, offered to help find vendors when I struggled, and gave great suggestions that I was able to use. They immediately replied to emails and it honestly felt like talking to great friends. I called them the "wedding fairies" which they do not know! Both were so professional, knowledgeable and just a joy to have. I trusted everything with them. NHLC's wedding tasting was phenomenal and vast! It was unlike an experience. Every appetizer, salad, pasta, and main entree (8 total) are served! My husband and I were so full, but couldn't stop eating- it was so good! NHLC has one wedding a day and allows the bride (and groom) to get ready there all day. I was there with my bridesmaids from 8 am until going to the church at 3 pm. It made the day so much more exciting. Seeing everything setting up, flowers coming in, etc. As a bride, I truly loved this and was happy my bridesmaids got the first peek with me. The bridal suite is huge, making the morning so comfortable. We kept blowing the fuses while getting ready and the staff kept resetting the power for us with a smile. All the staff checked on us all morning, asking to help or bring anything. The night was flawless. My husband and I felt such at ease with everyone there. The staff was just as incredible from the bartenders, waiters, literally everyone. You can tell everyone that works here truly loves their job and has a passion for it. We can't thank you all enough! Our day was absolutely perfect and we owe it all to NHLC! We will recommend you to everyone we know getting married.
We found the Lawn Club on Wedding Wire and we were just wowed by the pictures. We decided to schedule a visit and when I e-mailed the lawn club I was very impressed by the speed of the response and the professionalism in the e-mail itself. Ch...
ristine and Daniella are the most supportive, caring and helpful people in this business! We had so many ups and downs during the planning process. I work a ton of hours, had no idea what I was doing and truthfully got lots of bad advice. Christine and Daniella helped us navigate some very difficult decisions and were always there to help us. Even when I was running out of time (and patience) to finish up favors, Christine spent an afternoon to help me get the job done quickly! It was such a relief and she did me the biggest favor!
The building itself is breathtaking. We did visit two other venues before this one and I have to say one of the major selling points for us is that we would be the only wedding that day. They also provide a list of some of the best vendors in the area. The tasting was exceptional for us because it gave us a chance to find all of the vendors we had not yet found. Particularly, our florist, music/entertainment, photobooth, ceremony music, etc. The food was amazing. Every time we see someone for the first time since the wedding they tell us how much they loved the food. But my favorite compliments are the ones about the staff. From the bartenders to the waiters, our guests were amazed at (again) the speed and professionalism staff showed to everything. They were all so warm and inviting.
Between the staff, the beauty and history of the venue itself, the amazing Christine and Daniella, the awesome vendor referrals and having the entire place to yourself on your wedding day... well it just doesn't get any better than the Lawn Club!
Christine and Daniella are amazing. They helped to create the wedding of my dreams. Everything ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, and the venue is gorgeous.
New Haven Lawn club did an amazing job with our wedding. The venue is beautiful with lots of different places for photos. The coordinators, Daniella and Christine are friendly and accommodating. They answered all of my questions and were wonder...

r event everything went off without error. You do a couple walk throughs, including the week of the wedding, it is so nice to see how all of your visions will come together. The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is even better. Everyone there is great. The décor and ambiance is everything we could have asked for. Christine and Danielle do a great job of spreading candles and making everything perfect. Christine also called me the week of to tell me that she made sure she had flowers in the pots on the terrace for our big day in May. The outside terrace is great as a nice, outdoor space, but you don't have to worry about your whole reception being ruined if theres bad weather. All in all we would go here again in a heartbeat, absolutely wonderful, wish we could do it again!
The minute my husband and I stepped into the New Haven Lawn Club and met Christine, we knew it was the place we wanted for our day. We booked right away, which began such an enjoyable wedding planning experience and led to such an amazing weddi...
ng day. Christine, Daniella and their entire team were such a pleasure to work with from day one. It was a huge help having on-site wedding coordinators. Many of my friends who have gotten married did not have this luxury, and it is a huge perk of having your wedding at the NHLC. The venue speaks for itself. It is one of the most gorgeous, timeless and classic venues I have seen, and this isn’t just my biased opinion – our guests said the same thing! Prior to our wedding, the tasting we attended was so well done and mocked an actual wedding, which gave us a great idea of what our day would look like. When our big day came, the setup, service, food and the way Christine and Daniella made our vision come to fruition went above and beyond our expectations. Our guests are still raving about the service and the food. The timing of each course was perfectly planned – not too rushed, but totally efficient as Christine and Daniella knew we wanted as much time on the dance floor as possible. My husband and I felt like we were in great hands during the entire process, and this is invaluable seeing as there are so many moving parts and things to keep track of during the wedding planning process. I 110% highly recommend the New Haven Lawn Club to any bride and groom looking for a venue with a timeless feel that isn’t just another wedding factory. You and your guests will have an unforgettable wedding experience!

both the venue and her job really came through and we could tell she really loved both. They have a very organized system where you know they are always on top of the details along the way. They were incredibly responsive to any questions I had and helped to form our vision. On the actual day of, everything was perfect. As the bride, I felt like they were taking special care of me, but all my guests felt the same way. The food and flow were perfect and everyone raved about everything. I would highly recommend the Lawn Club to anyone looking for a beautiful and special venue that is not a wedding factory but still has the means to accommodate a wedding well.
The New Haven lawn club is a stunning venue and makes for a very elegant affair. The food is fabulous and the service is even better.
From the moment we walked in the door, to our final dance, everything was absolutely perfect. Choosing the New Haven Lawn Club for our caterer and venue was the best decision we made. It is elegant, stunning, unique, and timeless. The food wa...
s actually amazing, my guests all agreed (including family members who are chef's at well known NYC restaurants). Christine Brush is amazing! She is beyond organized, knowledgable, kind and exactly who you want running the show at your wedding. I honestly can't say enough great things about everyone that works here, the facility, food and experience that we had for our wedding. It was a dream come true!!!
NHLC is not only a beautiful location, as one can see from the photos on its website. Its staff go to great lengths to make your wedding plans into a seamless reality, with great attention to detail and incredibly responsive and professional s...
taff. Christine Perusse serves as the location and wedding manager, but also performs many tasks that you would traditionally pay a lot of money for a separate coordinator to do. She has incredible taste and a sense for what will work logistically. Couples would be wise to solicit and take her advice! And the food is really incredible. Even when cooking for hundreds of guests, NHLC makes each plate look and taste like you're at a top restaurant. The prices are not cheap at NHLC, but if you can afford it, you and your guests will be able to tell it was a top quality choice.
The Lawn Club is an excellent place to have a wedding! The ballroom fits up to 200 people and is a wonderfully elegant space. The food is excellent (especially by wedding standards) and the wedding staff coordinators, Christine and Daniella, ...
are gracious, detail-oriented, and accommodating. We were very impressed by the level of service that they provided.
I can't say enough wonderful things about NHLC and their amazing staff. From the moment, we reserved our date, Christine, Daniella and staff made you feel like their only bride. They were so attentive to detail and were so quick to answer any q...
uestions. One of the only venues that do a full menu tasting that includes table set up in your color scheme, and only one wedding per day. Our wedding day was perfect, and I know Christine and Daniella were working hard to make everything run smoothly. They are amazing!!
I was just a guest here 6/2/12 and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful weddings! The ceremony was inside and was gorgeous. We moved to another room for cocktail hour (the horderves were ok) and they transferred the ceremony room into...
such a beautiful reception room. The food was fantastic and the staff were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone I know getting married!!!
No only is this a beautiful venue, the staff are wonderful! Couldn't have picked a better venue
The lawn club is strikingly beautiful. They vintage charm is just unlike any other venue. Christine and her staff were FANTASTIC. She recommended many excellent vendors and she steered us in the right direction for many different aspects of ...
the wedding. She has been coordinating for a while and it shows. My guests could not stop raving about the food! The filet was cooked to perfection! I cannot say enough about the staff at the lawn club. They were extremely accommodating and I would recommend this venue to any bride young or old. It just has that little extra magical feel that no other venue does.
My guests were raving about the space, food, and service at the New Haven Lawn Club. Everything about my day was perfectly orchestrated and my fiance, family and I had a wonderful time working with Christine and her team to plan the special da...
y. We loved the stately old mansion - more unique than a hotel or country club - and grand ballroom and the food was wonderful. We had a fabulous time as well at our tasting event where we got meet other brides/grooms, got to sample all the menu options and meet some other vendors. All the vendors that they recommended for other services were outstanding as well and everything came together beautifly on the wedding day. They had everything covered and accommodated any additional requests we had - changes to the menu, some unique decorations, etc - without hesitation.
The service was excellent. The food was amazing.
We fell in love with this location over the internet...before even seeing it. When we finally went, it went beyond our expectations!
Everything from the planning process through the end of our big day went perfectly! I honestly have no complai...
nts, except the bathrooms could use some updating :)
It was more beautiful than I could have imagined, and all my guests were very impressed!
Our wedding was on 10/10/10 and we held our reception at NHLC. We had 160 people in attendance for a sit down dinner. Everything was amazing, and Christine Perusse (the in-house wedding planner) was so great! From the initial visit to see th...
e property to our wedding night send-off, she made my groom and I feel welcome and relaxed. This is a great place to have your reception and/or get married- it's beautiful and the ballroom takes your breath away! Our guests complimented us constantly since our wedding about how professional and nice the staff were, and how delicious the food tasted! I have to agree on all counts! Thank you NHLC!
This was an amazing venue. Not only was it beautiful, inside and outside, but the staff was so great and so determined to have our day be the best it could be. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food, the site, and...
the staff.
The New Haven Lawn Club is not a wedding factory - the fact that they do one event/day and it is completely customizable gives the bride and groom the opportunity to make the venue their own. The venue had inherent character that was meliorabl...
e to the personality of the couple getting married. The service was top notch and the overall experience one of the easiest parts of planning a wedding!
;Be wary of false promises. Leave explicit instructions for your day. Our food order was wrong they lost essential items for our ceremony the bride nor groom were never offered a drink let alone a glass of water.
