Had our wedding reception in the upstairs event room. Venue was absolutely beautiful, every bit of the food was delicious (guests telling me weeks later they'd never had a better salad lol), and the service was perfect. Really appreciated how it was a one-stop shop for excellent food, drink, wedding cake, and beautiful surroundings. And honestly not super pricey for the value: our menu came to $90pp including add-ons for a vegan option, duck confit appetizer, and steak entree. Many thanks to Christina and Stephanie for a smooth planning process and beautiful execution!
Our rehearsal dinner was at the Union League Cafe. Christina is lovely to work with, and incredibly professional. The food was exceptional. The venue is so elegant, and really set the tone for the whole wedding weekend. It was also special to show our guests from other parts of the country such a historic location.
We had a November wedding reception at Union League Cafe and it was truly spectacular! All our guests raved about the incredible food and service. Christina and her team made the planning process so much fun and the whole staff was so flexible and a joy to work with. The space itself is so special and we were able to customize the event to accommodate our guest list and create our dream wedding! Our wedding reception was cozy, romantic, and beautifully reflected the charm of New Haven and the historic building. I wish we could do it all again!
We had our wedding reception here on 7/25/21 and we had a phenomenal experience! Our guests were impressed with the exceptional service, incredible food, and the elegant ambiance. The head manager and all the staff worked so hard to make the evening perfect and Christina, the Union League's event coordinator, made every effort to make our evening special and was such a pleasure to work with. I highly, highly recommend the Union League Cafe!
From the initial meeting to our wedding day, the event staff handled everything warmly, professionally, and courteously. They worked with us to create a plan that fit our budget, and they provided delicious seasonal fare for our lunchtime reception.
The day of our wedding everything ran smoothly without us having to worry about any of the details. We were able to relax and soak in the day. The skill and flair of the staff was impressive, and all of our guests raved about the quality of the food and the service.
We would highly recommend the Union League Cafe for any couple looking for a quietly elegant reception venue in New Haven.
We were married on October 7, 2017. We chose Union League because we value great service and great food. From our initial contact with the venue to picking up floral arrangements the day after, we were treated like royalty. Christina Fitzgerald, the event planner, is kind, responsive and a true professional. With Union League, you don't need a wedding planner. Everything from the set-up to coordinating vendors was taken care of by the venue. We had the ceremony and dinner/dancing in the upstairs ballroom and cocktail hour in the Sherman Room and a guest count of 80 people. Everything was absolutely flawless. In a word, MAGNIFICENT. Everyone was complimenting how good the food was, including the cake, which was made in-house. The filet was perfectly cooked and warm when served for every guest. The quality of the wine was also very good. The waitstaff was exceptionally professional and accommodating. The elegance of the interior requires little dressing up and there are plenty of beautiful photo opportunities both inside and out. For a truly all-inclusive experience, fine dining, and exceptional service at a great value choose Union League Cafe.
I had a 65 person wedding and the ballroom upstairs at Union League was the perfect venue for a wedding of that size. The food was fantastic, everyone was stuffed, and the wedding cake was delicious. The coordinator Christina is an amazing person and we are so thankful to have worked with her. She was available whenever we needed her, was incredibly organized and pro-active, and made us feel at ease. It was a great experience.
My husband and I got married here 2 weeks ago and I cannot say anything but amazing things about Union League. We had our ceremony upstairs and the reception downstairs. The whole restaurant is so beautiful, little decoration is needed (if any at all). The food was beyond superb and I am still getting compliments from friends and family about it. Bottom line it's beautiful, intimate, elegant, and has excellent French food with impeccable service. I would absolutely recommend Union League Cafe!
We were so happy with our wedding reception at the Union League Cafe in New Haven. The banquet manager, Amy, was wonderful to work with- very responsive and understanding. We almost did not even look at the Union League because we thought it would be too pricey, but they allowed us to customize the menu to fit our budget and were well more willing to work with us than any other venue we considered. The service and the food were simply excellent. The only issue was that the dance floor had to be small so that we could accomodate both dinner and dancing for over 100 people in the upstairs ballroom. If you have a wedding of that size, using both floors of the Union League would be ideal. Without a doubt, we loved having our reception at the Union League and would do it all over again given the chance.
Union League Cafe' was superb from start to finish. While selecting a venue- we chose Union League for several reasons. The high quality food, service and ambiance. The event coordiantor Amy Healy is a pleasure to work with and provided us we the assurance that our wedding reception would be everything and more that we asked for- and she and her staff more than delivered! Our guests raved about all of the fabulous food, drinks and and beautiful, delicious wedding cake. The staff was consistantly attentive everyone. If you want an elegant, romantic setting with 5 star food and service- Union League Cafe' should definately be a consideration!
The food was incredible with so many options to choose from. They were very accomodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process.
Union League is the place to go for an elegant wedding ceremony/reception. Top notch service and food. And the ambience is wonderful, especially for a winter wedding. Ours was the week after Christmas, so all of the greenery and decorations were still up, and we got married in front of the fireplace. We planned our wedding long-distance (we are on the west coast), and Amy the event manager was wonderful and so easy to work with.
