We held our wedding reception here in Fall of 2017. Inwood CC was such an elegant venue, management was very accommodating, every detail was well thought-out & executed, the food was amazing, and the service was outstanding!
We had been searching throughout Long Island & Nassau County for a reception location that struck the right balance between the classiness of the venue, the quality of the food, the reasonableness of the price, event privacy, & the flexibility to customize details. Inwood was honestly the perfect match for us, & I cannot recommend it highly enough!
We also used & strongly recommend Genesis Events (DJ/MC), Stefans Florist, Silverfox Photography, Camelot Limos, & Front Street Bakery.
Coordination with Management & Event Planning:
We coordinated with the assistant manager Josephine regularly throughout the process of planning our wedding. She was very thorough & accommodating - an absolute pleasure to work with. She ensured that our guests would be welcomed with light refreshments directly following our wedding ceremony, alleviating the 2-hour gap between our ceremony & cocktail hour. Within 2 weeks of outlining the main details & menu options for our event, we received a precise & reasonable cost estimate from the venue manager Benny, which helped us to make our final determination on the venue with little delay.
Menu Planning & Food Quality:
We were also able to craft a first-class cocktail hour, dinner menu, & dessert buffet with the club chef, Anthony - a well-seasoned chef with decades of fine dining culinary experience. He had excellent ideas which turned out amazingly; our guests raved about the food throughout the night & for weeks to come.
Our cocktail hour was breathtaking. Our guests were floored by the display & options available, including antipasto, pasta, sushi/stir-fry, carving, & seafood stations, + passing hors d'oeuvres.
For entrees, he prepared a demi-glaced & garnished filet mignon, panko-crusted halibut, chicken saltimbocca, & vegan wild mushroom risotto, each seasoned and prepared with an assortment of paired sides.
The wedding cake & venetian hour desserts by Front Street Bakery in Rockville Center were delicious, including an assortment of pastries, cookies, cordials, espresso, gelato, sorbets, fruits & berries.
An open bar was also provided at the start of the cocktail hour & through the course of the evening, including a quality selection of beers, wines, & cocktails.
Venue/Facility:
The main country club building served as the venue for our wedding reception, including a vast lobby, bar area, & beautiful dining area. The dining area is surrounded by windows looking out to the golf course & a clear view of the NYC skyline, with an ample dance floor located in the center of the room. The grounds are meticulously maintained & served as an ideal backdrop for our wedding photos.
Service:
The service staff was excellent, with the logistics of each stage of the evening having clearly been well planned & coordinated. My wife & I enjoyed a private cocktail hour room & a bridal attendant personally looking after us for the whole evening. Our guests received their orders promptly & with little delay within or between tables. Each space was meticulously prepared for the cocktail hour, first dance, dinner, wedding cake, and venetian portions of the evening, with ample & professional staffing throughout.
Bottom line:
Inwood CC is a fantastic location for anyone looking to host a wedding with great food, service, & style!
