We recently had our wedding on 10/12 and just wanted to take a moment to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who played a part in making our wedding day so special. Our wedding coordinator Jessica, was so accommodating and patient with all of my requests throughout the planning process. Her organization and attention to detail made everything feel seamless and stress-free. In addition, her attention to detail in decorating each area of the venue was spectacular. While we couldn’t get married outside, Jessica ensured they would do everything possible to make inside just as beautiful for our ceremony. A special thanks to the chef for working with us on the menu and tweaking dishes to suit our vision. The food was absolutely delicious and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. The bridal attendant Jalyssa and maitre d, Jansi were more than I could’ve asked for. Their attentiveness and professionalism on the day of the wedding truly stood out. They made sure everything ran like clockwork, and it allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We went with the package deal wedding and used all of the preferred vendors offered and I’m so glad I did. It made planning so simple and easy. Once we signed the contact, each vendor reached out immediately and made the process effortless for me, which I appreciate more than anything as a full time working mom, I didn’t have a lot of extra time to shop around for vendors. For anyone looking to have a wedding, I highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed. I’m already sad it’s over but hoping I have an event that comes up so I can use Essex Club. We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s hard work, kindness, and dedication. They helped bring our dream day to life, and we’ll never forget it. With heartfelt thanks, The Trowbridge’s

4 out of 5 Stars – Beautiful Venue with a Few Bumps Along the Way We recently had our wedding at Essex Club, and overall, the venue truly exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful, the atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for, and our guests had an amazing time. The food was delicious—although a couple of guests mentioned the Mahi Mahi was a bit dry, everything else was a hit. The team also corrected our layout perfectly after it was initially set up incorrectly the day before, which we really appreciated. That being said, there were a few issues during the planning process that kept us from giving a full 5-star review. While the manager, Jessica, was absolutely wonderful to work with, we did encounter some last-minute surprises. First, we wanted to incorporate our culture into the ceremony by having a close family friend play the steel drum. About a month before the wedding, we were told that due to liability reasons, he would need to have a license in order to perform. This was very upsetting and left us scrambling for an alternative. Around the same time, we were also informed that the backdrop we had purchased couldn’t be used for liability reasons. Thankfully, we were able to get a refund and did find another backdrop option—which actually turned out beautifully—but the last-minute changes added extra stress. We were also notified late in the process about additional taxes related to the cost of desserts. While we understand and respect venue policies, receiving this information so close to the wedding made things more difficult during an already stressful time. All in all, Essex Club is an amazing venue, and we truly did have a beautiful wedding day. I would absolutely recommend it to future couples—but I also strongly suggest asking plenty of questions up front to avoid any misunderstanding or last-minute surprises. Despite the bumps along the way, everything came together beautifully, and our guests had a wonderful time.

My 60th birthday party was one of the best, if not the best, celebrations I’ve ever had! Jessica and Rob helped my vision of that day come to reality. I dropped off my decorations, Jessica and staff displayed and placed everything as requested. Rob was super accommodating with the flow of the party, guests are still talking about the wonderful time they had and how nice and the staff was. The food was great as well. When the party was over, the staff cleaned up/ broke down the decorations and packed them up, nothing was broken or missing. I had other events at other Lessings locations but this was the best! Would definitely have another event here.

I had my wedding at Essex Club on 4.18.26 and it was the BEST day of my life. The staff is amazing. Jessica was my point of contact from my tour to my wedding date, and she makes planning so easy and stress free. She answered all my questions and emails quickly and patiently. Rob, the maître'd, kept everything moving on the big day, we were in great hands with him. Julissa was my bridal attendant and she was always there when I needed her to fix my dress or hold my sister-in-law's baby while we took pictures. They were GREAT! The grounds of Essex Club are gorgeous, I'm so happy with how my pictures came out around the venue. The cocktail hour space and the main reception room are intimate and cozy. The food was amazing. We added the Asiago Cheese Rice Balls as a last minute substitution to our cocktail hour and they were a hit...I wish I could order them to go! The price is super reasonable if you do their all inclusive wedding package; upgrading any additional features with their preferred vendors is totally at your discretion and I did some upgrades; I still feel like I got the most out of my money this way for my guests. I would do my wedding all over again in a heartbeat at Essex Club and would give them infinite stars if I could!

We had our end of the year celebration here and it was amazing! The process of booking was so easy and communication was great. The staff during the event was so kind and helped us make the night unforgettable. Our students and staff had so much fun! We would recommend the Essex Club for future events.
