Lawn Club Fine Catering

o unanimously positive, that the only place we actually toured was the Lawn Club - we signed the contract at the end of the tour and it was the best decision we made! Everything you have read about the Lawn Club is true, it is a beautiful, unique all-inclusive venue with an amazing candlelit Art Deco feel. We did both ceremony and reception at the Lawn Club and utilized the bridal suite to get ready… such a big, beautiful room, I loved it! Throughout the Lawn Club grounds, there’s so many unique spots for photos, we had such a fun time exploring with our photographers and the photos are stunning! Our guests were blown away by the venue, food, and the service! No one had to wait for bar service at any point throughout the night. There’s so many small details that make a wedding at the lawn club stand out. First, during the ceremony, the blinds on all the windows are down and the room is filled with dreamy candlelight, and as the bride enters the room and walks down the aisle, the curtains are raised to let the sunlight in - so heavenly! Second, once the ballroom is set up prior to the reception, Christine found my husband and I and brought us into the ballroom is take in the whole setup prior to any guests entering - such a special quiet moment that the two of us were able to share! If it wasn’t already clear, the shining star of the venue is that it comes with Christine… she runs all on-site coordination and was such a pleasure to work with (I could not have done it without here). We postponed out 2020 wedding to 2021 and it was such a smooth process and I was so thankful for that, as it was already a stressful time! She is insanely organized, so helpful, and was there day-of to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her and her team also do ALL setup and breakdown at the end of the night and I was able to take in every single aspect of the day, instead of running around setting things up! It goes without saying, but the wedding would not have been as perfect if it wasn’t for Christine! Don’t wait, book the Lawn Club, it is stunning!!

process between giving you lists of preferred vendors, checking in, and as the day approached - calming frazzled nerves! (Which, every bride needs!) Our wedding at the Lawn Club was PERFECT. It's gorgeous, classic, and minimal additional decoration is needed to be added since the rooms speak for themselves. We used the venue for both our ceremony and our reception. During the cocktail hour, the guests go to the Formal Dining Room and the Ballroom is flipped for the reception. Much to my chagrin, it rained on our wedding day. Thankfully, 99% of the time we were inside the Lawn Club, but you do need to briefly go outside to enter into the ballroom for the ceremony. The whole week leading up to our wedding, I emailed Christine every day about the weather. She was amazing at calming my nerves, but the day of - downpour the whole day! The whole staff pitched in and with lots of umbrellas of all shapes and sizes (including giant patio table umbrellas) we all made it in for our grand entrance. So many beautiful spaces for photographs, that while I missed not being able to have outdoor shots, we couldn't have asked for a more picturesque indoor space. Food, drink, tables, chairs, dishes, table cloths, coat check, etc...all included in the pricing. This really helps limit the amount you have to worry about when planning and really, in my opinion, helps justify the pricing. Food was PHENOMENAL...chefs did an amazing job. A few months before your big day, the LC puts on a tasting where you can try all the different food choices you have. You almost had to roll me out of there that day - ha! Day of Staff (other than the AMAZING Christine!) : There is 1 server per table, so quick and efficient when putting out the courses. The general manager is discreet and very professional. He made rounds asking if everyone was enjoying their time and if he could do anything for them. I did not find out until the next day that there was an incident with one of our guests who had to be cut off at the bar! (being embarrassed about a person the day after is so much better than being embarrassed about someone the day of your wedding) There is a preferred vendor list, which also helps you hire quality people that will compliment your day at the Lawn Club. They are very careful when curating this list, but are happy to review any potential new vendors you may want. To sum up, the Lawn Club was my dream venue for our wedding, and Christine and all the staff at the LC made my dream a reality on 11-11-22! Thank you, a thousand times thank you!

We could not recommend the Lawn Club more as a wedding venue!

own kitchen and staff, the Lawn Club provides exceptional food and beverage options - our guests are still RAVING to us about how delicious the hors d’oeuvres, food stations, and dinner all was. Last but not least, our wedding experience was truly made exceptional at the Lawn Club because of Christine and her team. Her professionalism, kindness, and drive to make your day special was appreciated through every step of the way. It was thanks to Christine and staff that we truly got to enjoy our perfect day - they took care of everything and let us focus on having FUN! We highly recommend booking the Lawn Club so you can have as unforgettable of a night as we did!

so organized -- several people told us it was the most well-run wedding they have ever attended, thanks to those two. They accommodated all our requests, they walked us through the entire planning process, and they were so calm and professional throughout. From our first meeting through the big day, we knew we were in good hands and it was such a relief to have their guidance. Their vendor list and month-by-month wedding planning guide were particularly helpful. On our wedding day, it was raining and very windy, and they seamlessly changed our ceremony plan to keep everything inside. We actually had compliments about how the candles and fireplaces they set up felt so cozy and inviting because of the rain! NHLC is also a great option because it's much less expensive than venues of comparable quality in Boston or New York -- for the same price in those places, we would have gotten so much less. I will forever be grateful that we chose to have our wedding here and I can't recommend it enough.

eautiful, and everything ran very smoothly so we could really enjoy the evening. The Lawn Club also has wonderful recommendations for other vendors (DJ, florist, etc) that they work with regularly and know are excellent. Thank you so much for a wonderful event, Christine and co!

handled everything and really allowed me to be in the moment and not stress during our day! We are forever grateful!!! 💕

were accommodating of requests, and made us feel very at ease. Thanks to them, our wedding day was relaxed, well-organized, and just perfect. The venue itself is beautiful, with more than enough space for our ~150 guests to gather, eat, drink, and dance comfortably. The Lawn Club also has the best food we've ever had at a wedding. From appetizers to desserts, our guests made a point of telling us how delicious everything was. All in all, we can't say enough good things about the Lawn Club. We're so happy we chose to have our wedding there and would recommend it to any couple!

re than perfect. The venue itself is beautiful and the perfect space for a romantic and classic wedding. They provide a ton of candles and set them up around the entire venue space. Every vendor we worked with also has raved about the Lawn Club and that constantly made us feel even more confident we were in good hands. Christine and Karen are so knowledgeable and never made me feel like any of my questions were trivial. The vendor list that Christine provided gave us everything we needed and every vendor we hired was top notch. Christine and Karen have the perfect attention to detail. I felt so sure dropping off our decor that it would all be displayed exactly as I had imagined and just enhance the spaces. They also communicate with your vendors week of to go over the timeline for the day so you don't have to! From arriving on wedding morning (we had the whole bridal suite starting at 8am) to leaving at the end of the night they took care of everything! Our guests have not stopped raving about the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the staff! Everyone felt so well taken care of the entire day and we are so grateful to have had our wedding there!

y got married this July. Christine and Karen were incredibly kind and calm through all the chaos and made us feel like we were in great hands from day one. As others have said: the venue itself is lovely - super accessible, great art deco feel and amenities with plenty of room to get ready and a flawless transition from ceremony to reception if you opt to do both there like we did. The food is excellent and the bar service top notch, as are the Lawn Club's recommended vendors (and their flexibility when you find a vendor not yet on their list). But really, the biggest draw here is a team that knows what makes weddings work and strives to make sure you have a day as stress-free and as close to your vision as possible. Having never had a wedding before, being able to lean on Christine's expert advice on anything and everything was a joy. Give yourself the gift of an excellent team who has already thought of it all (their various pre-wedding checklists alone are worth their weight in gold) and book your wedding at the Lawn Club!

fers coordination services that you should still hire an outside coordinator. I can speak from experience that this is not the case with the Lawn Club. Every step of the way, Christine and the team were in contact and helped us make sure we were on the right track with planning. Everything was covered from when to send our save the dates to helping pick vendors that were in our budget. It made the planning process so much less stressful knowing that Christine was there to help. In the weeks leading up to the wedding they went above and beyond. They called all our vendors to coordinate and even helped us by providing outdoor heaters on the patio for our guests. When our wedding day came, we were able to relax and be in the moment (and enjoy our delicious dinners!) because we knew that everything was under control. It was truly a magical day and picking the lawn club as our venue was a huge part of the day's success!

le and the coordination by Christine of all the vendors we hired was so seamless that my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day. Prior to the wedding, Christine would happily jump on a call to discuss vendors or give advice to ensure our vision for our wedding was met. I call the list of vendors provided by Christine the "magic list" because every single vendor we interacted with was phenomenal. Additionally, we had an all vegetarian wedding and the Lawn Club chef was able to accommodate us with completely delicious results. We got so many compliments on the food (even from our typically meat eating guests!) that we knew we went with the right Vendor. On top of all of this amazing service, the Lawn Club is a gorgeous venue. The use of candles (provided by the Lawn Club) all over the club gave a romantic and intimate vibe and little details had big impact. The club has numerous spots to take photos and is also close enough to Yale's campus that we were able to go off site as well. To note, we had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at the Lawn Club and we would not have changed anything about that. Truly phenomenal experience working with Christine and her team.

ace I needed to have my wedding. Not only is the space so amazingly beautiful on the inside and outside, but the staff there are phenomenal. Christine and Karen both made the wedding planning process so much easier and I was able to truly enjoy my time wedding planning. Every single person working there was so kind, helpful, professional and made our day that much better. Every single guest made sure to tell me how much of a positive experience they had and how they truly appreciated the hospitality provided by Christine and team. Along with the wonderful service, the food and drinks are AMAZING. My husband and I want to join the day club for the food along! I can go on and on all day about how wonderful our experience with NHLC was, but I'll just say that it is definitely worth it and you will not only enjoy your day, but Christine, Karen and team will make sure you enjoy your entire experience.

des how BEAUTIFUL the club was, we knew we wanted to work with Christine to plan our wedding. Planning with the Lawn Club was seamless. It was really helpful to have a list of preferred vendors as it made research that much easier (especially during covid when everyone was booked and you had to reach out to EVERYONE). We got married off site so we hired Christine to help with the ceremony and it made the morning seamless as she handled everything on our behalf. Once we got to the Lawn Club, everything was just perfect, from the tables to the decorations we dropped off. Truly perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. Not to be biased but I've been to a lot of weddings and the club's food is the best. I cannot tell you how many people agreed. Most people got the beef Wellington and RAVED about it all night long. We are so grateful for the staff at the Lawn Club as we truly had an amazing and perfect day and I would recommend the club to anyone who wants to get married in CT!!!

or added a magical touch that captivated our guests. Many people told us that it was the nicest venue they had ever seen. Christine is responsive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her presence was calming and you can trust her to ensure your day is a success. We had a last minute surprise for the groom and she executed it perfectly with less than 48 hours to go. Our wedding was a dream come true and I highly recommend the NHLC! (especially in December)

hristine - she is so “on it” that she has an answer ready to your every question and she doesn’t miss a single little detail. Christine was swamped with weddings this past year so sometimes she would take a few days to circle back to us, but she never let anything fall through the cracks unresolved. Other amazing benefits about the lawn club - the food is EXCELLENT. Every single menu option and appetizer was delicious. And the club’s elegance means that you really can be simple and minimalist on decor. The ballroom is perfect for having a big dance floor and the acoustics are great for a live band. We could not be more happy with how our wedding day and wedding reception turned out thanks to the thoughtfulness and attentiveness of the Lawn Club team.

ifferent spaces how we wanted throughout the entire day were perfect for our multicultural wedding. Christine and Karen helped us to think through every last detail and no question was too trivial to be answered. They are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and gave great suggestions during the planning process. While our original plans were disrupted due to COVID-19, Christine was a pleasure to work with, kept open communication, and helped us to re-plan an event that better suited our needs during the pandemic. On the day of our celebration, everything turned out exactly as we had envisioned. We didn't have to lift a finger and were able to fully enjoy ourselves! The ambiance was so beautiful and elegant and everyone raved about the food and had a great time! We couldn't be more grateful to Christine and the entire staff at the Lawn Club for sticking by us through a long process of planning and re-planning and for creating the most amazing day for us!

n December 2019, she was so supportive and professional throughout all of the changes due to pandemic. Everything from jumping on a call with us to discuss options as we navigate wedding planning in a pandemic to confirming every detail at the final walk-through, if you are working with the lawn club you’re in great hands! We would highly recommend this gorgeous venue!

ntion to detail, expertise and experience in wedding planning that is provided by Christine and her team is unmatched and it truly made the process stress-free and the day of so perfect. We always felt confident that she was going to do an amazing job and exceed all of our expectations (which she did). The food was beyond fantastic and there are options to customize the packages. The staff were all so friendly, helpful and professional and the service they provided was great. The venue itself is very spacious and beautiful, and they do an amazing job enhancing it with the candles they provide. Our overall experience was absolutely phenomenal and we would very highly recommend the Lawn Club to anyone considering it for their wedding!!

t ease. This venue does weddings - they know exactly what they're doing and they've seen it all. Not once did Christine tell us "no" to a request we made - she always found a way to incorporate our wants and needs. On the day of, we mentioned that we never felt concerned about where we needed to be or what we needed to do. Everyone helping on the day made it flow with ease and our guests were absolutely wow-ed by all of the special details the Lawn Club puts into the event. Our guests raved that the food was the best they've had at a wedding (we personally thought so, too!). My cousin is severely allergic to dairy and eggs but he said that he felt really confident in them because they came over to double check his allergies and they make the allergy meals in a separate part of the kitchen. All of this to say - the Lawn Club is AMAZING. I will recommend to anyone wanting to get married in the New Haven area.

nt and was there to make sure the postponing process went smoothly. Not once were we overwhelmed throughout the process. The day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about anything, Christine made sure everything ran smoothly and flawlessly. All of our guests had a wonderful time. The food and service was absolutely outstanding! Guests are still raving about how amazing cocktail hour and dinner were. We’ve had several people say how they want to get married at the Lawn Club or want their children to get married there one day! We couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect wedding! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience at a beautiful venue with great food and an amazing wedding coordinator!!!

ll our needs were met. She was accommodating, professional and went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless. Our guests are still raving about food, service and venue! We truly could not have asked for a better experience and day! It was truly the best day of our lives

stine talked me off a ledge more times than I can count. She is the ultimate professional and has such a beautiful vision to help you plan your wedding. The venue is obviously stunning, the food is delicious and the staff are amazing. I did not have to lift a finger once we arrived at the reception! You will absolutely not regret having your wedding at the Lawn Club!

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!

and aesthetically pleasing venue you could have. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend!
