If there’s one thing you should know about South Asian weddings, it’s that they’re not small. We estimated a guest list of about 300-400 people, and with us being Muslim, an additional factor that really came into play was ensuring that our catering was able to be made Halal, which you can think of as meal preparation similar in rigidity to Kosher preparation, but according to Islamic guidelines. I made a call to Brackett’s Crossing, and was greeted by Elizabeth (Liz) Revak and Kendra Simonis. They had informed me that Brackett’s can accommodate 300-400 guests for an event and that they accommodate a Halal menu, provided that it is still through Brackett’s Menu and their kitchen. Historically places that I’ve toured that did that, and weddings I attended where South Asian food is not on the normal menu usually does not hit expectations. Kendra and Liz had told me that if I was available, that they had an open house in the winter and that their full menu would be on display, alongside some of their preferred vendors- and that attending would give us a fuller picture of what the food would look and taste like. My family and I went, and were WOW’ed by their presentation, hospitality, organization, and of course, how delicious their food was! Speaking to Liz and Kendra and having tried the menu and knowing that it could be made Halal, we were super intrigued but not yet settled on having them do our event. What followed was me barraging the two of them with phone calls and emails, and them meeting every one of my questions with thoughtful, kind, respectful answers that showed a serious dedication to their craft, and conveyed the passion with which they do their jobs- and frankly, go above and beyond. They started by giving me several pamphlets worth of information on anything I’d ever want to know about hosting an event there, and when I started asking about requests like modifying the space/event to accommodate our cultural and religious values they were so beyond helpful, insofar as knowing the direction of Islamic prayer relative to their venue, knowing key customs in Muslim and South Asian tradition, being able to turn over spaces in the building for prayer time, accommodating our diets, and even being able to accommodate in case we needed a horse! The space itself is lovely, the ballroom is incredibly grand and very well lit from their wall to wall windows, and the outdoor gardens and photo areas are phenomenal. As a bonus, the patio space outside was perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to hang out at night. The organization of the event went really smooth, as they work very closely with all of your vendors and have spreadsheets/meetings to help you (should you choose to utilize them) and will make sure to provide you the exact appropriate amount of organization you want so as to not over or underwhelm you. When it came time for the day of, Kendra and Liz went above and beyond, and were personally on site to oversee the success of the event. The staff, both in the kitchen and the servers tending to the guests were all pros, and kept the event running efficiently- turning over the photobooth, dessert tables and dinner and making sure that my wife and I were not bothered at the sweetheart table (and had a plate of food!) If you've made it this far... let me clear up any ambiguity- GO WITH BRACKETT'S.

We can’t say enough amazing things about our venue! From the very beginning, the staff was incredible—so friendly, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Every planning meeting was easy and stress-free; they thought of every detail and made sure everything came together seamlessly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and so much of that was thanks to the amazing staff. They went above and beyond to make sure every moment ran smoothly, handled every little detail, and made us—and our guests—feel completely taken care of. The food was absolutely amazing—our guests are still raving about it—and the space itself was stunning, both inside and out. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. On top of all that, the venue was so affordable compared to other places we looked at, without sacrificing a single thing in quality or experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. Highly, highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (September 2025), and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The food was incredible, the event space was beautiful, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting everything—from the dinner to the atmosphere—it was all perfect. The staff went above and beyond the entire day. When we were on the party bus during cocktail hour and missed out on the appetizers, they made sure to have plates waiting for us at the head table. That small gesture meant so much to us and showed how thoughtful and attentive their team is. One of the things that really set Brackett’s apart from other venues was their wedding planning packet, which is available right on their website. It includes menu options, pricing, and room rental info. Most venues make you reach out and wait for that kind of information, but having it upfront made planning so much easier and gave us a great head start before we even toured. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Kendra and Liz, the event coordinators. They were truly the kindest people to work with. Their customer service did not go unnoticed — every email, call, and meeting was handled with such genuine warmth and care. Planning a wedding can come with a lot of stress, but I can honestly say that working with them took all of that away. They always had the answers, always stayed one step ahead, and made us feel completely supported throughout the entire process. Brackett’s Crossing truly made our day special. It’s a gorgeous venue run by wonderful people, and we’re so happy we chose to celebrate our wedding there!

We had a beautiful wedding at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club, and overall, we’re very happy with our experience. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the food was phenomenal — our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! Planning Experience: The planning process was seamless. We were invited to a tasting event early in the year where we met other couples and sampled the menu, which was a lovely touch. Communication was excellent throughout the year — emails were answered quickly, and phone calls were welcomed when needed. We had a planning meeting six months out and a final walkthrough about two weeks before the wedding, both of which were very helpful. Rehearsal Dinner: We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the restaurant on-site. It was intimate, the food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Day-of Coordination: This is where things felt a bit off. Leading up to the wedding, both coordinators were responsive and lovely, so we were surprised by how little we saw our coordinator on the actual day. She helped with the ceremony and rehearsal walkthrough, but we had to seek her out for questions or help during the rest of the day. She left around 6:30 PM, and we only saw her three times total. It’s possible she just wasn’t having the best day, but it was unexpected given how flawless the communication had been beforehand. Bridal Suite & Lunch: We upgraded our bridal suite package, which included lunch for the bridal party and access to the golf simulator for the groomsmen. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication about lunch — some of our party didn’t receive a meal, and the kitchen couldn’t accommodate extras saying we could only order full meals from the restaurant. A simple heads-up to the groomsmen about the one-sandwich-per-person limit would have helped avoid that issue. Golf Course Access: As avid golfers, we were disappointed to learn we couldn’t access the course — not even for photos. This wasn’t made clear until after we signed the contract, and it had been implied earlier that it might be possible. (We should have applied the pressure to understand the rule more clearly though so that’s on us). Final Thoughts: Despite a few hiccups, our ceremony was lovely, dinner service was flawless, and the bartenders and staff were fantastic. We did feel a bit rushed at the end of the night while packing up, but we understand the staff was probably ready to wrap up after a long day. If you’re not concerned about golf course access or extensive day-of coordination, Brackett’s is a wonderful venue with excellent food and strong planning support. Our wedding was everything we hoped for in terms of love and celebration — and for that, we’re truly grateful.

This was the absolute BEST place to have a wedding! I had the most perfect day ever! All the staff were amazing especially Kelly! And Kendra helped us with every detail of our wedding! She is the most amazing person ever! Me and my husband emailed her so many times with so many questions and she always emailed back right away! Thank you Brackett’s for making my wedding day perfect!!!
