    We got married at the Elm City Club in June, and the entire experience was magical! Sandra was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. I had tons of questions, and she made everything so easy. The venue itself was beautiful and didn’t require much decoration. It had the perfect vibe and truly captured everything I envisioned for my wedding.

    Every New Haven area couple should consider using the Elm City Club to host their wedding and/or wedding reception. It's the perfect intimate venue with so much historical character compared to the more soulless country club aesthetics we saw in other nearby venues (and somehow the Elm City Club is more budget-friendly!). We were able to stay the night on site as were a few of our family members. Our guests told us the food was probably the best wedding food they've ever eaten. My parents are still marveling at how they were able to cook so many filet mignons perfectly. They let us have a specialty cocktail (Pimm's!), which the bartender did an incredible job with. My husband and I also really appreciated that they offered the option of an open bar but to pay for drinks by consumption—we saved a lot of money that way as our family and friend groups are not heavy drinkers. All of that said, best thing about the Elm City was the staff. Our coordinator, Sandra, was incredible every step of the way. The waitstaff was excellent on the day. I cannot recommend this team enough.

    The Elm City Club was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From the moment we first contacted Sandra and her team, their communication was clear, kind, and incredibly helpful. The space itself is charming, airy, and elegantly decorated - it provided the perfect light and gracious atmosphere for our celebration. The food was absolutely delicious, and the attentive service ensured the whole event ran smoothly. We especially appreciated that they allowed us to bring our little dog to the venue, and that the groom's getting ready room was right next door to the bride's, which made it easy for our families to see us as we prepared for the ceremony. Sandra and her staff managed the whole thing beautifully. We loved holding our reception at the Elm City Club and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a wonderful wedding venue.
