We hosted our wedding (100 guests) at the Saturday Club in June 2019, and it was such an event to remember! The club has such a homey and classic atmosphere and Joyce was great to work with throughout the process and made sure we were taken car...

e of from planning to execution of our special day. We were so happy there were no restrictions on choosing our own caterer + bringing in outside booze! Luckily we were able to set up the night prior, which really cut down on day of running around and allowed us to do a lot of DIY decorating! Thanks to the team at the Saturday Club, we always will have a beautiful day to remember!

Booking The Saturday Club for our summer wedding reception was one of the easiest decisions we made during our planning. It was literally the ONLY place we visited! We were looking for a location that was simple and unpretentious, would allow a...

ny caterer and outside alcohol, would allow for DIY’ing, and was within our budget. We found everything we wanted and needed at The Saturday Club. The building is simple, quaint, and full of historic charm. We received several compliments from our guests on our venue selection. The rental fee covers use of the facilities/kitchen, tables and chairs, minimal setup and breakdown, the sound system, and more importantly, it funds a non-profit women’s philanthropic organization instead of the evil wedding venue machine. Joyce Dugan and her team were easy to work with and provided ideas on how the space should be organized. The only downside is that the venue doesn’t really allow for any outdoor festivities, so we had our outdoor ceremony elsewhere. We would highly recommend The Saturday Club!

Our wedding was easily ruined by the coordinator/manager Chris. We were completely disappointed with the Saturday Club and met with Joyce who was unable to offer anything besides an apology. I had received texts, voicemails, calls, and emails a...

bout his behavior after the wedding. Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to wake up the day after your wedding to guests AND vendors contacting you about a supposed "professional"? When I toured and met with Joyce it was the winter and I was unaware how inefficient their cooling system was which was not made evident. This was a concern because our wedding was during the middle of the summer. The day of the indoors was between 85-90 degrees, with the air conditioning on. Also, the kitchen space was in the basement and completely un-air-conditioned. I felt horrible for our catering staff because they were drenched in sweat. When I brought this up with Joyce after the fact she mentioned that opening the doors for deliveries and for when the guests arrive was the reason the space was hot. What event space doesn't account for the fact guests and vendors need to open doors? Also, Chris was supposed to clean and arrange the chairs in our space. Unfortunately, when we showed up to the venue (we had a key), he hadn’t cleaned or arranged anything. The bathrooms smelled like urine and had trash still in the trashcan. We waited a half hour and ultimately gave up and began to clean. We hours scrubbing up stranger’s urine, emptying trash, breaking down tables, arranging chairs, and setting up the space. Chris also allegedly indulged in our alcohol during the wedding which led to quite a few altercations with my bridal party and guests. Multiple guests sent messages where he was recorded on video calling my aunt a bitch, threatening my MOH, and calling my guests "a bunch of idiots." He fought constantly with my catering staff who had to interrupt us during our wedding because he was combative w/ his staff. Please avoid this venue.
