My husband and I are both South Asian, and in our culture, religious ceremonies and reception events are often on different days. We had decided that we wanted to have both on the... same day, but we wanted a place that could offer a different ambiance for each part. We booked appointments at two halls, Swan Club being the second. From the minute we left that appointment, we knew that we didn’t need to look anywhere else. We were going to get married there.
Swan Club is the perfect venue for the wedding of your dreams. The grounds are up-kept well, and they are always updating the property, which exudes modern elegance. We’re jealous when we see the new improvements they’ve made in just the year since we got married.
We had our ceremony in the boathouse. We had expected about only 70% of our guest list to be on time for the ceremony, but they surprised us and all showed up on time. One thing to note here is that it can be a little hard for guests at the back to see what’s happening depending on your guest count if you fill the entire space.
The garden is absolutely stunning. We had the most perfect sunset, and having an outdoor cocktail hour (if weather permits) is well worth the price. It’s an experience unlike any other, and our guests were posting pictures from the garden for weeks. It’s also the perfect place to take your wedding pictures. You don’t have to travel offsite for beautiful shots that will be treasured forever.
Pat was our maitre’d, and he was amazing. He was the one person I spoke to throughout the wedding planning process who was calming, offered the most helpful guidance, and assured me that we’d make it all work. He’s willing to work with you to make your dreams for your special day come true and provides wonderful customer service. He’s a true pro.
Now, on to the food. We still have guests raving about the food from our wedding. I remember reading reviews that said similar things about the food, and it was hard to believe. Is wedding food ever that good? At Swan Club, it is. Believe us when we tell you. You can’t go wrong with your menu if you have your event here. Not only does it taste great, but unlike the standard for most venues, your guests to pick from a list of 7-8 entrees, instead of 3.
Swan Club also offers passed desserts, in addition to the wedding cake, and it was such a fun experience. Some guests do miss it if they are on the dance floor, but those that are paying attention have a really fun dessert experience with a variety of desserts, more so than the traditional plated experience.
The only thing we’re sad about is that we didn’t get to enjoy the food and dessert because, of course, we were the bride and groom and busy getting married. We can’t wait to get invited to Swan Club as guests, so we can get the true experience from the other side! Can’t rave enough, having our wedding here was the best choice we made for our wedding — other than choosing each other.
