About Us

The New Haven Lawn Club, founded in 1891 and housed in a stately Georgian mansion in the New Haven's prominent East Rock neighborhood, has long been a venue for the City's most elegant social gatherings. As special today as it was to debutantes in the 1920's, the Club's distinctive architecture - including its ballroom's barrel vaulted ceiling, crystal Art Deco lighting, and checkered terrazzo floors -  has been carefully preserved to maintain its refined and graceful geometry. Although the building is historical, Lawn Club Fine Catering's menu and event planning are anything but old-fashioned. Their sumptuous menus aspire to delight and surprise guests with international flair and creative use of fresh seasonal ingredients. Professional event planners anticipate all you and your guest's needs, work hard to execute your event exactly as you imagined it, and will not rest until they have exceeded your expectations.

Ceremony & Reception Venue
 
The Lawn Club is a venue that has everything – great staff, incredible food, beautiful grounds, and gorgeous interior. We had a spring Sunday brunch wedding and received an overwhelming amount of positive comments and rave reviews from our guests regarding the beauty of the venue and the amazing cuisine. One of my aunts said that she has three kids yet to be marry and she was taking note of some of the clever uses of space and the vast spread of exquisite food, so carefully prepared and presented. We worked with Christine, who was a real pleasure and an important member to add to our wedding team. She took the lead and reached out to all the vendors making sure everyone was on the same page. She was well organized and laid out exactly what we needed to do in order to ensure a smooth day. She was very accommodating in our requests for menu modifications as well as listening to our vision for our special day and helping to think outside the box to make it happen. Another aspect of the Lawn Club that we realized only after the wedding was how photogenic it is! Our guests had so much fun that they were posting pictures online of our wedding shortly after it took place (and as it was taking place!). We realized that from all angles and in both silly and posed photos, every shot looked like a million dollar affair - the outside balcony with the blooming trees, the rustic look of the bricks on the exterior, and the fabulous chandeliers, enormous windows, and candlelit fireplace in the ballroom. We also had our ceremony on site. It was our dream to get married right by a fireplace (there are many in the venue!) and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place than the Lawn Club. Thank you to Christine and all the staff for making our special day such a joyous memory!
 


The staff at The New Haven Lawn Club are the best - really take care of the guests ( and vendors!!!) in such a BEAUTIFUL setting. They really care about what they are doing, and are not just 'going through the motions'! A wonderful spot for a wedding ( and i've been to a TON over the years!! )
