With resplendent garden views, a picturesque gazebo and a magnificent ballroom, Essex Club sets the scene for an extraordinary wedding. Set amidst 50-acres of rolling greens and perennial gardens, the quaint country club can be customized to the setting of your dreams. Each window of the ballroom looks out onto the verdant landscape of the 18-hole golf course, a backdrop to enhance any occasion. Wedding ceremonies may be held at either the garden gazebo or the ballroom fireplace, both providing beautiful photo opportunities to capture the moment you say “I do.” We only host one event at a time, so you’ll be sure to receive individualized attention and privacy on your special day.

Had my engagement party at Essex Club and everything was absolutely amazing. My family and friends are still talking about how great everything was from the food to the staff to how nice the venue was. everything was so perfect and i would highly recommend to anyone planning an event! 10/10 experience.
We LOVED the Essex Club. Jessica was so amazing and easy to work with and she really made my vision come to life. The venue doesn’t look like much when you visit but it really transforms into such a beautiful place to celebrate. It’s definitely one of the more affordable venues on LI but nothing about it seems or looks cheap. The food was AMAZING. Everyone raved about it. The day ran totally smoothly. Jessica used extra florals they had around that matched our colors to make the place even more beautiful. You will absolutely not regrets having your wedding here. It was the best day of our lives. I could talk about how amazing it was for days.
My fiancé and I booked our wedding at Essex Club yesterday and we just wanted to show them some love! Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with; she was very helpful and patient with us as we asked her to print out a few different pricing scenarios and to swap out certain things for certain other things. She worked with us to offer a Saturday evening price that we could reasonably afford, and she included a few nice upgrades at no charge. Anyone who is looking for an affordable but beautiful venue should seriously consider looking here!
