Perfection

My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ipswich Country Club, especially the wonderful Melissa. We were a couple affected by Covid and had to postpone a year, and though this could have been disastrous, Melissa made it a breeze. The day of our wedding went effortlessly and it was truly the best day of our lives. Our guests raved about the food and venue! Could not have asked for anything better!

Amazing!!!

Not only is Ipswich Country club such a beautiful venue between the golf course greenery and the building of the venue in itself but the people that work there are awesome! Specifically Melissa she was so amazing to work with so on top of everything. With my big wedding party she made sure everyone was in line for ceremony and reception. She managed the time so well we did not miss a beat that day. I could not have enjoyed my day more with out her taking all the stress off my shoulders. I can not say enough good things about her and Ipswich country club and I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding!

Spectacular Venue

My husband and I cannot say enough how amazing this venue was!! We highly recommend getting married here, you will not be disappointed! Our day was absolutely perfect and we had just the most amazing time. The wedding coordinator, Melissa, is the highlight of this venue. She really took control of the reception and kept the day running smoothly, all while making sure everyone was having a blast. Every tiny detail was accounted for and she made sure everything was perfect. My husband and I are still in awe that she fed us our drinks while we were taking pictures haha! We were just so pleased with how everything went and are so thankful for Melissa's help in making this day the day of our dreams!

Beyond amazing

I can't say enough amazing things about working with Melissa and Ipswich Country Club. Our wedding was twice rescheduled due to COVID, and was originally planned for an entirely different venue. We followed our gut, and moved everything to ICC and it was the best decision we could have made! Ipswich was so easy to work with, so helpful and finally made wedding planning fun again! Our wedding was the first done in the tent, and what I'm sure was extremely stressful, seemed seamless and easy to us. The food was outstanding, and our guests had a great time. I thank my lucky stars I got to work with Melissa, I could go on and on about how amazing she is. She is responsive, understanding, professional, and goes far above and beyond for every couple she works with. It was a night Tom and I will never forget! Thank you Melissa and Ipswich Country Club!

Could not have asked for a better experience!

My husband and I got married at the Ipswich Country Club in December and knew from our first visit to the property that it was the perfect place for us to celebrate our special day. We have so many positive things to say about our experience with the Club, but we have to start with Melissa Nolet, our wedding coordinator. Working with Melissa made our entire planning process and wedding day virtually stress free and actually enjoyable! Not only is she personable, responsive, professional, helpful, intuitive and flexible, but she also recommended top quality vendors who came together to make our wedding day perfect.

On our wedding day Melissa was right by my side and prepared to do anything needed to ensure that the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were happy and relaxed. She helped with every last detail from making sure my dad had his boutonniere on before he walked me down the aisle to bustling my dress to making sure I had my shawl, glass of water or lip gloss before I even knew I needed them! She is incredibly thoughtful and intuitive and I really cannot say enough about her. She is simply the best!

Our guests are still ranting about the food, many saying it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. The staff was attentive and professional and the venue looked absolutely stunning. The Christmas decor was exactly what we pictured when we settled on a holiday wedding theme, and actually exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a beautiful location for your wedding where you will be taken care of from day one, the Ipswich Country Club is the place to be. We recommend having your wedding there without hesitation and wish you all the best in this exciting time in your lives!

Amazing venue with GREAT service!

I have to say through the whole journey of finding a venue and making sure it was going to be perfect for my wedding day, Ipswich Country Club was the best decision me and my husband decided on. Melissa was absolutely the best coordinator and I’m so glad I got to work with her. She did everything she could possibly do to make sure everything was done perfectly for my wedding day. She was on top of e-mails and phone calls, and most importantly took all the stress off our shoulders. She was AMAZING! I highly recommend anyone getting married to go tour because you will fall in love!

Amazing venue and staff!!!

We are SO happy we chose Ipswich Country Club for our wedding!! We got married on August 10th, 2019 and had the most amazing day! The ceremony area is beautiful with all the flowers and the green in the background. Our guests continue to talk about how great cocktail hour was outside on the deck, including all the apps and drinks. The reception room had the perfect set up with the dance floor and bar easily accessible to all guests and everyone loved the food! But one of the best perks of this venue is having Melissa Nolet as the events director. She made sure everything that day was PERFECT. She is extremely organized and thoughtful, and she was such a big help throughout the entire process. We would recommend ICC to any couple!!!

Exceptional Venue, Service & Location!!!

My husband and I had our wedding at Ipswich Country Club just about a month ago and all we can say is WOW! Not only did ICC exceed all our expectations, they went to lengths to make sure that our special day was incredibly special! We worked specifically with their on site coordinator Melissa Nolet, and make no mistake, she is amazing. From the very first inquiry to the final moments of our special night, Melissa was there every step of the way. Melissa was ALWAYS a true pleasure to work with and she worked diligently to help me and my husband's vision come to life! We used the word EXCEPTIONAL in our title as it really does reflect the service, food, cleanliness, communication and overall class of Ipswich Country Club. There is just too many good things to say, ICC really worked with us on the budget that we had set and made sure that we were able to fit every last idea into our amazing day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! FIVE STARS!

Highly recommende

We had our wedding this past August at the Ipswich Country Club and we are so glad that we chose them! One of the biggest selling points for us were the gorgeous flowers outside, right where the ceremony takes place. Melissa, the coordinator was amazing and walked us through every step of wedding planning making sure we were always on track in the planning process and the day of she helped ensure that everything went according to plan. We are so happy with our experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a venue on the north shore!

Great, smooth experience!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience planning our wedding with Melissa and the Ipswich Country Club. Melissa, the wedding coordinator, guided us flawlessly through this stressful process by laying out options, making helpful recommendations, and helping us stay organized. The country club itself was beautiful and there were many great places on the grounds for pictures. The food was delicious, the drinks were well-made, and the whole evening went very smoothly. We both highly recommend Ipswich Country Club to others!
