VIP was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end! We just had our wedding a few days ago and our guests were floored by their attention to detail and organization. I'm pretty type A so I had some requests and a timeline set for the Maitre'd (Vinston) and he followed it beautifully! My attendant (Danielle) was SUCH a sweetheart and she made sure I had everything that I needed the day of. Tiffany, whom I met first was very communicative and answered all my initial questions and assured me that our catering would be ordered correctly (we also had some South Asian food as this was an interracial marriage). The food was phenomenal according to our guests (we are STILL eating the leftovers!) It's a venue that can hold 2 events but you have no idea that there is another event going on. Tom Esposito was such a pleasure to talk to and he was also very reassuring that all would be okay the day of. Highly recommend the venue and the employees were wonderful as well. Thank you VIP team!

I've been both a guest and a client/Bride for this venue and this truly is just is the best place for an event. We just had our wedding a little over a week ago, and it was honestly even better than I ever imagined. Beyond the place being just gorgeous all on its own, the staff truly went above and beyond throughout the entire year of me planning the wedding and all through the actual big day. I was so relaxed the whole day and was able to focus on just enjoying the day and live in the moment - I felt like a pampered guest all day which after a whole year of wedding planning makes it all worth it.
From the very first time that we visited and was greeted by Kim and then walked through the place with Tiffany, all the way to the big day, the whole team - Tom, Vin, my bridal attendant Daniella, all the servers and bartenders - just everyone is so genuinely kind and strive to give you their all to assist in your day. And they were like this anytime we would call, email, or show up in person- ready to answer any and all questions that we had, and offer their assistance any way they could to help me throughout the planning process. They made wedding planning feel so easy and smooth, and the actual wedding was just amazing. I know its only been a week but both sides of our families are still gushing over how much they enjoyed the entire wedding and how beautiful it looked and the amazing time that they had and it truly is all due to the wonderful team that they are. We are so grateful for everything, thank you guys!

Our Wedding was in September 2024. We saw almost 20 venues in the area and VIP really gave us the best of everything - location (on water!), ceremony space outside, reception that opens into a beautiful courtyard with a fountain where you can serve dessert, where guests can go out to take photos and chat under the lights by a fountain, attentive staff, honest recommendations, helpful planning, and a straight-shooter no bullshit boss who held our event VERY organized. You get the most for your money! We loved the food options, the cake, the service, we even had a cigar cart :) Our guests were so happy! We had a VERY diverse crowd who is hard to satisfy but this place was it. Note, the picture taking opportunity cannot be overlooked as a gem for this area.

VIP did a superb job running our wedding reception this past weekend. They are seasoned professionals who hold themselves to a very high standard. The generous and extensive cocktail hour never ran out of food, the program ran smoothly with each person given plenty of notice before introductions, the tableside service was stellar (my water glass was never empty), and the Viennese hour was overflowing with spectacular hot and cold desserts. They even sent us home with leftovers! My out of town friend and family raved about the wedding. VIP far exceeded my expectations. Tom, the understanding GM, Vinston our debonaire Maitre d’, Nicole our bridal attendant (and so much more!) and Jen our coordinator who always picks up the phone, together made an all-star team. I highly recommend VIP!

We got married at VIP Country Club in New Rochelle on 8/31/2024, and it was the most magical day of our lives. From the moment we booked the venue to the final moments of our wedding, the staff at VIP was nothing short of amazing. They truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
Vinston, our wedding coordinator, was incredible. He was there every step of the way, from the rehearsal to the big day, ensuring everything went smoothly. We never had to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendant, Aaliyah, was an absolute sweetheart. She took care of us throughout the day, making sure we were comfortable and even ensuring we had a chance to eat—something that's easy to forget in all the excitement!
Kim at the front desk was such a joy to interact with in the lead-up to the wedding. She was always friendly and helpful, making the planning process so much easier. And we can’t thank Jen Jolly, who helped us book the venue, and Tony enough for their kindness and professionalism.
Everyone at VIP is truly stellar. They go out of their way to make your day as stress-free as possible, and they make you feel like family. If I could do it all over again, I would choose VIP without hesitation. Thank you to the entire VIP team for making our wedding day unforgettable!
You won’t regret having your wedding here. They’ll make your dreams come true.

We could not have been more thrilled with our choice in venue. From the very moment we walked in we felt both blown away by the balance between feeling so upscale and also a level of comfort like we were right at home. We were helped by Tiffany and she is quite literally one of the sweetest woman we've ever met. We never felt like we were being 'sold' on their venue but rather seeing if it was a right fit for ours desires and needs. There was not a single question that went unanswered (and I'm very meticulous with my questions and details.) They were able and willing to accommodate even the silliest request to make our dream wedding. When Tom took over the planning process he too was everything we could have asked for and more. The attention to detail and organization he processes is exactly what the wedding industry needs and he's experience shows. Day of our bridal attendant and our maitre' D (Alycia and Vincent) were nothing short of perfect. Of course little things come up on wedding days (like a shuttle being late, guest issues and things that are just beyond control) but me and my husband were able to have a carefree and perfect day because we were in such capable hands and knew that any issues would be handled properly. Our guests raved about the venue staff and the food (best food and cake I've ever had in my life.)
I could go on and on about how lovely everyone and everything at the VIP is but I would just suggest going and experiencing it for yourselves- you won't be disappointed.

I had my wedding here on August 16, 2024 and oh my, it was beautiful. From the moment I started looking into this venue, it has been wonderful. I worked with Tiffany when booking the venue and she was amazing. She answered any questions we had and made everything clear. Our maître d Vinny on the day of wedding was also amazing. Made sure that everything went to plan. He was always close by, when needed. Tom, the general manager that worked with us, made sure we had everything we needed and was so hopeful. And my bridal attendant Kay, was AMAZING. She was always right there, gave us everything we needed. My day was beyond amazing because of the team of people working on our and for our wedding day. I can’t recommend VIP enough. Thank you for making my day so special

We had our wedding at VIP Country Club on 8-24-24, and we are extremely pleased with how everything turned out! From start to finish, the staff was incredible and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Tiffany was super helpful during the booking process, always answering our questions and offering advice. The ladies at the front desk are warm and friendly; they have genuine kindness beaming from their faces. The day of the wedding, our Maître'D, Vinston, truly knew what he was doing—everything ran smoothly thanks to him! He kept the night on track, and we felt completely taken care of. Our bridal attendant, Brianne, was so sweet and attentive, ensuring that we always had what we needed.
Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, not only because of the fantastic food but also because the space was so cool and unique. We utilized the TV screens to display a slideshow with pictures of us and we loved the personal touch! During dinner, the table-side service made guests feel special. We also heard that the bartenders did a good job with making drinks! The outdoor balcony was the perfect spot for mingling, and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather, which made it even more special. Inside, the copper ceiling added so much character to the room and looked stunning in all of our photos!
On top of the great service, VIP Country Club offers affordable packages, making it an easy choice for us. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience!
I thought it was important to me to have a venue that does only one wedding at a time and VIP does two at a time, but they really did a great job with the organization! We heard the other wedding party arrive while we were on the balcony taking some photos, but other than that we felt like the only party on site!
One small thing other brides might want to know is that our wedding cake looked different than the one we ordered with Tom. I said the cake design wasn't a priority and that's true, so it didn't take away any joy from my day. The flavors were the same and it tasted great, but if the wedding cake is really important to you, be sure to emphasize that.
Overall, we highly recommend this venue! My husband and I are so happy with how our special day went and VIP was a huge part of making that happen :)

Our wedding at the VIP was literally a dream come true. The team is sensational and their expertise in creating a top tier wedding experience is unparalleled. Tiffany, Vinston and Tom worked to make our wedding such a stress-free and seamless event. The day-of coordination was fantastic and made it so I didn't even need a wedding planner or day of coordinator. The VIP's food is exceptional -- from the various stations at the cocktail hour to the day-of meal selection from 5 entree choices, our guests were so impressed by the quality and taste of all of the food. The venue itself is also beautiful and the grounds upon which you can take wedding photos made it so we didn't need another photoshoot location. I highly recommend having your wedding at the VIP -- you will not regret it!!

We held our wedding here a few weeks ago and we were extremely happy with the result. The venue looked beautiful and was more than capable of accommodating all of our guests. The food was amazing! It has been weeks since our wedding and our family still brings up how good the food was in both cocktail hour and the reception whenever we talk about the event.
Most importantly our bridal attendants Brianne and Leo were absolutely flawless. I cannot give both of them enough praise. Super attentive, super professional, literally everything we could’ve wanted and then some.

We cannot thank VIP for everything to make our wedding day perfect!
It was beyond our dreams. Leading up to the wedding, the service, decor, waterfront views, the food, the list goes on!!
Jen Jolly, who helped set up our wedding event sale, really worked with us to be able to visualize the type of wedding we would have at VIP. She was communicative and super responsive.
Our bridal attendant Cat was helpful accommodating our needs the day of. Our maitre d Leo was beyond wonderful and made sure the wedding ran smoothly.
Leading up to the wedding, Vinston Joy, the Assistant General Manager, and Thomas Esposito, the General Manager, answered all of our questions and we felt taken care. We knew our wedding was in the best hands with the both of them taking care of business behind the scenes.
Once again thank you VIP for helping us celebrate our love! We will continue to recommend VIP!

We recently had our wedding at VIP Country Club, and it was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. The level of service and attention to detail provided by the entire team made our special day truly unforgettable.
A special shoutout to Tiffany, who was a pleasure to work with and the main reason we chose VIP Country Club for our wedding. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication ensured that every aspect of our wedding was meticulously planned and executed. Tiffany's guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable.
Vinston was always available to answer any questions we had, providing quick and helpful responses that made the planning process stress-free. Tom, the general manager, was incredibly efficient and ensured everything went smoothly, making our planning experience a breeze.
On the day of the wedding, Alyssa, our bridal attendant, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She took care of every little detail and was always there when I needed anything, making me feel completely at ease.
Leo, our Maitre’d, was exceptional in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and seamless coordination with the staff made our wedding day flow effortlessly.
Overall, the VIP Country Club exceeded our expectations in every way. The team's dedication to excellence and their genuine care for making our wedding day perfect were evident in everything they did. We highly recommend VIP Country Club to anyone looking for a venue that offers outstanding service and a truly memorable experience.
Thank you, VIP Country Club, for making our wedding day magical!

I had my wedding at the VIP Saturday June 15, 2024 in the East End Ballroom. I had attended a wedding here in February 2022 and instantly knew this is where I wanted to get married. The VIP stood out to me immediately in comparison to the other New Rochelle venues. The cocktail hour/ afterparty room alone amazed me, and I couldn't get over how much food the guests were provided throughout the night.
My perspective did not change whatsoever when I became a customer v. a wedding guest. I only toured one venue and booked instantly. From the beginning, Tiffany was absolutely incredible with working with us to find our perfect wedding date, figured out the best times to have the ceremony etc, and answered any and all questions we had. I will say I was not the easiest of brides to deal with. Constantly asking to come look at the space, asking what time we could get in on wedding day, etc. However, the VIP always treated me as if I was the only bride having a wedding there. They truly go out of their way to make you feel attended, and so special. I could not say enough about them leading up to my wedding day.
During the final walkthrough, Tom did not miss a beat. He made sure we ran through every single detail of our wedding day, and left nothing to the imagination. I left our appointment feeling prepared, and excited.
On wedding day WOW oh WOW. Vinston was our maitre d' and he did everything in his power to make our day so special. He remembered every little detail I specified, and was so helpful. The staff made sure I always had whatever I needed, a glass of water, champagne, a hug when I was feeling stressed.
I could not have asked for a better wedding day, and it was truly thanks to the VIP. If you are remotely thinking about booking please let this be your sign. It will be second easiest yes of your wedding planning journey.

VIP Country Club is in a league of their own. My Husband and I got married there over the weekend and have had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Last June we began looking at Venues, Tiffany absolutely sold us on VIP; she was professional and personable. Throughout our engagement she was attentive and answered any questions that we had. Our tasting was awesome; they give you a generous amount really allowing you to see what your guests will be receiving. As the day got closer we had our meeting with Tommy who could not have been more thorough in what to expect the day of. With that being said we were still blown away with what we walked into the day of. Vince and Alyssa ran show seamlessly. Alyssa was the most attentive bridal attendant who literally thought of anything and everything. Vince did the same, and worked so well with our vendors and families. Our guests can not stop talking about how delicious the food was, how beautiful the venue is, and the time they had. We added the Bourbon Bar onto our package which everyone loved; it was unique and displayed beautifully. The next day we came to gather our belongings; Kim had them packed and ready to go, she doubled checked everything to make sure we didn't leave without it.
VIP is looking to make your wedding or event a moment you'll never forget; they think of all of the little things that make a big production beautiful and perfect. You will not regret booking with them.

We just had our wedding at VIP country club and could not be happier. Kim at the front desk greeted us and made us feel at home from the very start! She always offered us water (still or sparkling, and even snacks if they had it at the time). This was a different greeting than we got at many other venues we had visited. From the moment you walk into VIP, you’re treated exceptionally. What impressed me the most, was the Kim recognized us EVERY SINGLE TIME we visited! We booked with VIP over a year prior to our chosen wedding date. We would show up unannounced and she knew who we were! This may be small to some people, but the details matter and they have thought of everything at VIP to make you feel extra special! Kim goes that extra mile personally!
Then we were introduced to Jen Jolly who answered ALL of our questions and was basically our “pre-wedding planner” before she hooked us up with the stellar wedding planner Jaime from LoveGrace Weddings!!! Jen was honest and made sure just about anything was possible! She always made time for us to answer our questions. If she didn’t know the answer, she ALWAYS looked into it and got back to us! She went out of her way for us and she didn’t have to! It truly showed how much VIP valued us!
When we got closer to our wedding date we met the owner Tom. He was able to personalize so much for us, including a caviar tasting for 2 in the bridal suite post ceremony! Brianne was the BEST bridal attendant! She helped me change out of my heels into sneakers and held my VERY HEAVY bouquet throughout the photoshoots and helped carry my dress everywhere! Vin was a fantastic Maitre’d! He made sure everything went smoothly and that we were informed ONLY when we needed to be. If things happen to go wrong at your event, you will not know until the following day as they will fix it before it even gets to you! They are a well oiled machine and know how to make sure their guests of honor have the best time! There was nothing they couldn’t do for us and every member of VIP staff is top notch! They are all extremely well trained and know what they are doing! I wish I had another event coming up that I can do with VIP because I know they can do anything! Shout out to all the bartenders, waitstaff, and set up crew to make sure the whole day went swimmingly for the guests!
The food is incredible too! You can’t go wrong with any of the food choices. Ask Tom what he recommends as popular, he knows what he’s talking about! Don’t be afraid to ask for vendor recommendations too. They have great relationships with other vendors, be it bands, DJ, flowers, buses, Photo Booth, etc. They have someone for everything! We wanted to do an anti-gravity (floating cake) and they bought a special cake stand to do it! We didn’t have to buy it ourselves. VIP is always updating itself! Each and every single time we went back to the venue, I saw someone touching up sconces with gold paint, or the outside walls with white paint, updating the dance floors, etc. They clearly take pride in their work and their appearance. Their goal is to make sure you’re happy and we couldn’t have been happier on our wedding day! We had the absolute best time!
If you’re on the fence about doing Viennese or the after party, do both! We did and it was great!

There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect VIP was for our wedding day. From the moment we toured the venue with Tiffany, to meeting with the General Manager Tom to finalize all our details, the entire process was so easy and effortless. The day of our wedding we had the most amazing staff helping us the entire afternoon into night! Our Maitre D, Vinston, was always one step ahead of us and ensured our night went perfect. The star of our show was our amazing bridal attendant Alyssa, she knew what we needed before we did. Vinston and Alyssa were truly every couples dream team and we will never be able to thank them enough. If you’re looking for an amazing one stop shop venue for your wedding VIP was truly the total package ! And if you’re on the fence about booking the on-site after party.. DO IT! our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing it was !

The VIP Country Club was beyond exceptional as a wedding venue. We toured many venues in the tri-state area and VIP blew them all out of the water. The whole staff through the whole process were kind and professional, they had clearly been run through the gamut with thousands of weddings and brought all of that experience to our own. The maitre d' and the manager ensured a smooth run of show and made the decision making process not only stress free but FUN. Where other venues would tell us "no" or would cringe when we'd start bringing up out of the box ideas, everyone at VIP would get excited and ideate with us. It made everything feel like a collaborative project.
The first thing that drew us to the venue was its stunning big reception room with floor to ceiling windows looking out towards the Long Island Sound. We knew that this room would be perfect for us for a couple reasons: 1) since it already had a very specific design (tin ceilings, deep blue patterned carpet etc) we knew we didn't have to bring in any decoration and 2) the space was separated in a perfect way where there was a lounge area away from the dance floor but still in the same room. This last point ended up making the biggest difference because even as guests were taking a break from dancing or just having a chat, they could still be present in the same room with everyone instead of disappearing from view for large swaths of the night.
We were initially worried about there being two weddings happening at the same time in adjoining rooms but truly, we never heard a thing! At no point in the arrival, ceremony, or reception process did we really run into the other wedding in a meaningful way. It was a different story altogether at our shared hotel haha.
And of course, the food was fantastic. We honestly weren't expecting gourmet quality from a place sending out so many dishes every day (a kitchen serving TWO weddings!) and were a bit underwhelmed by some of the dishes at the tasting. But the food on the wedding day was phenomenal. Our guests were raving, the cocktail hour food was tremendous (the Himalayan salt block grill and clam bake were big winners), and the entrees and cake stunned. We had people getting take out boxes to bring food back home with them! Never in my life saw that at a wedding before.
One of the best options VIP has is the dessert cart extension that adds 30min to your reception and waiters come around with extra desserts and old brass carts with our favorite amaros and liqueurs. It kept the party going and brought a level of fun to the end of night events beyond just "keep dancing until you're exhausted".
We couldn't be happier with how our wedding went at VIP Country Club and we'd recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. We do not have a single regret about choosing VIP for our big day. From planning to execution, they guided and worked with us and have heard only raves from our guests and people thinking we spent twice as much as we did. They even last minute helped us set up a first look when we got rained out, helped us with upgrades and add ons when we came under our guest count, and did it all without batting an eye. Thank you thank you thank you VIP for going above and beyond to make our wedding as special as possible.

We had our wedding at the VIP Country Club on 3/9/2024. Words cannot express what a fabulous day it was!!
From our first meeting with Tiffany, we knew VIP was the place for us. From Vinston helping us add our after party last minute and being an excellent Matre D, to Tom going through every last detail with us, and finally to Brianne being the best wedding attendant on our big day…we literally couldn’t ask for more!
Our guests are still raving about what a wonderful time they had. The venue is stunning and the food is phenomenal.
10/10 recommend VIP country club as a wedding venue!!

Pros: The venue is beautiful and the food is amazing! Communication is fairly easy as they respond clearly and within a timely manner. I also appreciated that since we were well under our guest minimum, they worked with us to include upgrades that would typically cost more to make up the difference. They are excellent at coordinating events and everything went smoothly. The bridal attendant was very sweet and helpful- especially with a dress bustle malfunction!
Cons: It is well understood that the bride & groom typically eat very little at their wedding because it's such a busy day. However, we did ask that some of our food from the cocktail hour, our entrees, and our dessert be packed up for us to go at the end of the night and the bridal attendant was very pleasant and said she would. She was very nice to help pack up all of our belongings and said that she included food for us. When we got to the hotel, we were very disappointed that the only food that was packed up was the top of our cake and very slim pickings from our dessert bar (not even 2 of everything). Additionally, some major items were not packed up and left behind- my wedding shoes and the memorial sign for my Dad (which was ok because it was retrieved after we came back from our honeymoon.

I want to start off with saying this is a beautiful venue, they were very accommodating and has amazing food! Jennifer, one of the banquet managers, was amazing to work with. She answered every question I had no matter what time it was or if she was off that day. She made this experience so easy and manageable. Our Maitre'D Leo was also fantastic and always made sure we were okay and had everything we needed.
On to the reason for the 3 star review...a month before our wedding we started dealing with Tom, the general manager, instead of Jennifer and things started to get rocky from there. We met with Tom and everything was going great until we told him we have a wedding planner. He didn't seem happy about that at all. The following month he wasn't as responsive as we would have liked him to be. We always had to follow up with him a few days later. He also yelled at our wedding planner unprovoked during a separate incident.
The wedding came around and everything was perfect except for the fact that some of the staff was flirting with some of my friends and I. The venue allowed us to keep a few things overnight to pick up the next day, including the garment bag my wedding dress came in. When we went to pick up our items, my garment bag was nowhere to be found. For 3 weeks, I kept inquiring about it and they have no idea where it went. I'm assuming one of their staff either took it or threw it out.
If the latter things never happened, I would give VIP 5 stars.

I just had my daughters wedding at the VIP country club on New Years Eve 12-31-23.. I will try to put into words what an outstanding event it was. The venue was beautiful, clean and decorated beautifully. The cocktail hour was second to none… the club like atmosphere in that room was amazing and the food was outstanding and plentiful. Our guest all raved about the entire wedding.
We had been working with Vinston throughout the whole 16 . months . His professionalism, input and his ability to create my daughter’s vision of her perfect wedding .was amazing,Vinston was ALWAYS available to answer our questions and always pleasant . Everything he promised was delivered . All our guest said it was the best wedding and raved about the staff,food, venue.
I must again mention that Vinston was there the night of the event and until the last guest left the after party. The bridal attend to my daughter made sure all her needs were met and her glass was never empty!
The venue is outstanding but Vinston and his staff truly believe in working hard and meeting ALL guest needs..The attention to every detail is amazing .I would highly encourage anyone to have their special event at The VIP..And would like to thank Vinston and staff for making our daughter’s wedding an outstanding and memorable night. Thank you!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at VIP Country Club on the evening of December 9th, and could not have made a better decision. From the very beginning, we felt at ease with Jennifer Jolly, who helped guide us in our decision and thoroughly answered any of our questions throughout the planning process. As we approached our wedding day, Thomas was our main contact for firming up all decisions. He was very responsive and accommodated all our needs, down to the last moment when unforeseen adjustments needed to be made for seating. We are so very appreciative of Vinston and Brianne, our matre d and bridal attendant for day of, it was a jam packed schedule and they didn’t miss a beat in ensuring we stayed on track, had a smooth event, and always nearby attending to our needs. Our guests had an amazing time, raving about the cocktail food and drinks, and loving the holiday atmosphere (as we had a December wedding) on top of our wedding decorations. I would also highly recommend securing the Scotch & Bourbon add-on as this really made for a unique experience that guests tremendously enjoyed. Overall, we truly felt like celebrities for the day with VIP treatment. The entire team at VIP knows what they are doing, impeccable service and attention to detail, amazing food and drinks, and a beautiful space. We are so grateful to them for making our wedding so special.

VIP Country Club was AMAZING to work with and made our special day seamless. From first meetings and arrangements with Tiffany to finalizations with Tom, and to the day itself with Vinny and their amazing team. Everyone was professional, had great suggestions for details we were unsure of, and were a huge sense of relief for us. We knew that everything would be okay in their hands.
We had our ceremony at a nearby church and held our cocktail hour and reception at VIP. We also added an hour to our reception time.
The venue itself is gorgeous and gives a perfect feel for regal elegance. We were also fortunate to have a clear day so we could use the outdoor area for pictures and to cool off from all the dancing (my family likes to party). The chefs are also amazing; it was so hard to select the menu when everything was so good! From the cocktail hour to the reception courses, and even to the exit station - the food was all top-notch.
We also appreciated the recommended vendor list provided by VIP. Since this was a destination wedding for us (traveling from WA), finding reliable vendors was essential. Everyone we worked with from their list was professional, had insightful suggestions for us, and worked great with each other.
We don't have pictures back yet, but once we do I'll see if I can upload some here.

Our wedding was back at the end of June and we had an amazing reception at VIP country club. Vinston and Christine went above and beyond to make sure our reception was perfect and went smoothly without any stress. We and our bridal party were well taken care of the entire night. VIP will make sure you and your guests don't leave hungry! The atmosphere was perfect, all of the staff were amazing to work with, our cake was beautiful, and all the food was delicious! Our guests had a great time and were talking about our wedding for weeks later. We are waiting for the next person in our family to get married there so we can enjoy the night all over again!

We had our wedding at the VIP Country Club on 10/28/2023. We could not have asked for a more seamless and flawless evening, thanks to Vinston, Tom, and my bridal attendant, Alyssa, as well as Tiffany who toured us the venue in the early days of wedding planning. Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous, but the food and service is impeccable. Coming from a family of restaurant owners, food and service was top priority and to say the least, everyone was beyond impressed. My family and our guests were so wowed by everything from start to finish (from champagne greeting to cocktail all the way through dinner, viennese and after), and could not stop singing their praises for the VIP, especially for Vinston, Tom, and Alyssa. Everyone there is so kind and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made me feel so relaxed and I did not have one worry about our evening. Thanks to this team, our night was absolute perfection. I could not have asked for or imagined a more perfect and seamless wedding day thanks to them. I truly cannot thank them enough. I highly, highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone searching for venues for any occasion because you are guaranteed to have a flawless, seamless, and amazing event. They are the absolute BEST!!! Thank you to VIP & especially Vinston for making our wedding amazing.

My husband and I had our wedding on 10/7/23. We can’t express enough how wonderful our wedding was thanks to Thomas and his staff. Beginning with Tiffany who is so organized, knows everything there is needed to know about planning a wedding and so helpful with whatever questions we had, to Tom the manager who is also very organized, so helpful, and he will make sure your day goes the way you want it. To working with Vin our maitre D and our wedding attendant Alyssa on our day made everything go so smoothly. They were on top of everything from making sure we had food to eat at every moment and a drink in our hand. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed every ounce of food down to the cake and ice cream/dessert station. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was beyond magical and everyone that came agrees.

We just had our wedding at the VIP Country Club and they delivered an event that was SUPERB and beyond our expectations. From start to finish, the team at the VIP was excellent.
Tiffany helped us book the event – and she was very accommodating (to having special wine and liquor, to working with us on what was then expected to be a smaller guest count, to adding special items to the seafood station, etc.). She was always responsive to our questions.
Tom did a great job in the final days. His checklist was beyond thorough – he flagged a few things I had forgotten. He also was super easy to work – including when we had a few special requests at the end and made some last minute changes.
And the day of the event our maître d’ Vinny and our bridal attendant Brianne were top notch. They made sure everything ran super smoothly – coordinating times and transitions, making sure we were in the right spot at the right time, making sure we didn’t forget to eat or drink, sending us home with plenty of food and desserts, etc..
And the event itself was a wedding day that we will never forget. The venue is spotless and perfectly maintained. When guests enter, it makes quite a statement. It starts with drinks and some noshes. The ceremony site is beautiful with a view of the water in the background. There are two fountains on the property that make for great picture venues. The cocktail hour space is very large and is indoor-outdoor – as is the east wing ballroom. The ballroom was arranged well for the number of guests we had. And all the food was unbelievably delicious and abundant. The stations at the cocktail hour were beautifully designed and well spread out. All the courses in the main meal were promptly served and perfectly cooked. The cake was well decorated (thanks to Danny at Westchester Floral too!) and tasty and the Viennese hour was to die for. The number of desserts and stations was mind blowing and everything – from cannolis to smores to crepes, bananas and strawberries foster and more – was delicious. It was also terrific to have the dessert and cordial stations set up outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding! A big thank you to Vinny and Brianne and the entire VIP Country Club team. You are amazing!!!

We had a wonderful wedding at the VIP Country Club on 8/26/23. The staff were very attentive, and the maitre'd Vinston was excellent, succinct, and had a great handle on the event and staff. The venue is beautiful, and the sales staff, Tiffany in particular, sold us on the place immediately. She was responsive during the entire planning process, was very accommodating, and had a good sense for our vision of the day. We couldn't have been happier with the day of bridal attendant, Alyssa. She was literally a life saver the entire wedding day, and made sure we were always hydrated, and fed. We're very happy with our choice to have our wedding at VIP.

The VIP Country Club exemplifies excellence. We recently had our wedding at the VIP Country Club and honestly can’t thank their entire team enough for flawlessly executing our dream wedding! We could not have been happier with how our wedding turned out. It was the perfect wedding! The venue itself is stunning, with a lovely waterfront view, but what we will never forget is the top level of professionalism and quality customer service they provide.
Their entire team did a superb job and handled everything with such calmness, grace, and professionalism! Their care and service were the BEST throughout the entire planning process and executed our vision amazingly. They were always responsive every time we called or emailed.
The inclusion packages were amazing and reasonably priced. The food and service at the wedding was top-notch–all our guests had the best time and have been raving about how beautiful of an event it was! Their preferred vendor list is also great, everyone was so professional, accommodating, easy to work with, and great at their jobs.
The morning of the wedding, as a bride, I ran a little later than we planned. My husband and I were quite impressed with how well they handled the last-minute adjustment so expertly and were able to work with our new timeline.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Tiffany, Thomas, and Vinston for their tireless efforts on our wonderful day. Thank you for your kind assistance, great expertise, and experience handling all the logistics work required to accomplish a perfect wedding. Knowing that everything was going to be taken care of and be okay offered us a great sense of peace, comfort, and minimal stress.
Nylania, you were the finest bride attendant. Thank you for working relentlessly to see that every little detail was observed, attended to, and for consistently offering encouragement, assurance, and comfort from start to finish.
Thank you to the chefs and serving staff who made our guests feel attended to with quality care and service. We received much great feedback from our guests in regards of you all.
We recommended the VIP Country Club to our friends and family, even before our wedding happened, but now, we can attest to its greatness. Thank you, VIP Country Club, for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

The VIP Country Club exceeded all of our expectations, and then some. From our first tour of the beautiful venue all the way until the end of the Wedding Reception, we were treated with the utmost care, respect and professionalism.
Besides the stunning venue and setup, the number one comment we received from guests was how polite and caring all of the staff were. Whether it was drink orders, food orders, needing directions or specially catered items, the VIP Country Club hit a homerun on all fronts.
A special, special shout-out to Vinston who went above-and-beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the Wedding, and was there with the best attitude to help arrange everything. There wasn't a single moment on the day of the event, where we were not looked after. A special shout-out to our Bridal Attendant, Aaliyah, who also was there from the moment we arrived and made sure our Bride had everything she needed.
I can't thank the VIP team enough for putting on such a great show. Do yourself a favor and book them as soon as you can, and forget about all the worries that come with venue planning!

My husband and I had a wonderful wedding experience at VIP Country Club. From start to finish, every detail of our cocktail hour and reception was flawlessly executed, leaving us with unforgettable memories. Tiffany, Tom, Vinston, bridal assistant Nylania, and the rest of the staff provided exceptional support and ensured a stress-free day.
The cocktail hour space and the reception space are beautiful, with outdoor and indoor seating and plenty of space, while still maintaining an intimate vibe. The venue accommodated all our 215 guests comfortably. The sit-down dinner was delicious. One thing we loved was that they offered five entree options to all guests in order to accommodate everyone’s preferences. The guests raved about the food and there was a great variety of options.
We are incredibly grateful to this venue for making our wedding day truly magical. The staff's professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized service surpassed our expectations. If you're looking for a venue that will go above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, we wholeheartedly recommend VIP.
