Getting married in Manhattan was a wish of ours, but it was starting to seem impossible from a financial standpoint. So many venues were unimpressive, small, or ridiculously overpriced. Harvard Club is the most breathtaking venue ever (especially for a fall/winter wedding) and provides a complete package. No weird red tape with add on's for cocktail hour, chair upgrades, linen upgrades, hidden fees, etc. They provide a SIMPLE package that includes everything. Other venues were charging us $3K for a very necessary chair upgrade. No thank you. The venue is absolutely STUNNING and no room-flipping required. Our wedding took place in 3 rooms and had a natural flow--ceremony in Harvard Hall, cocktail hour in the Grill Room, and reception in their Main Dining Room. All rooms had their own character and charm, which added a nice layer of variety to our event from an ambience standpoint. First of all, anyone who wants to do something a bit non-traditional, I highly recommend getting married in December there because they have a floor to ceiling (30+ foot ceilings) Christmas tree in the center of the room. My husband and I got married in front of that gorgeous tree. It was a truly magical experience and Harvard Hall is the most stunning room ever to begin with. It was like getting married in Hogwarts! Anyway, the food was outrageously good. They have a phenomenal cocktail hour selection and the dinner was exceptional. They were so flexible working with us to accommodate specific requests--we wanted to serve a duet of surf and turf (filet mignon and crab cakes) to all of our guests with a silent vegetarian and chicken option and they did so with no issue at all. Jennifer, our wedding coordinator, is a total gem. She answered every email and call along the way within moments and did everything in her power to make sure we were happy, even taking care of our most annoying and detailed requests. She helped bring our perfect day to life and deserves every praise in the world. I wish we could live our day over and over again. It was a dream. Also, you don't need to be a member or be sponsored by one to host a wedding of our size!

Literally the best decision we made during wedding planning. Tom was ABSOLUTELY incredible. He was so responsive (same day responses) and the value cannot be beat for a wedding in Manhattan. They provide and take care of everything, and there really was absolutely no hiccups or obstacles along the way with anything to do with Harvard Club. Other vendors, of course yes, because it is wedding planning - but in terms of the catering/venue/etc. with Harvard Club, we were incredibly happy. We highly recommend working with Tom!

We had our wedding reception here and had the most amazing night. Everything was so wonderfully planned out and executed - not a SINGLE thing went wrong, which is rare on a wedding day! We worked with Alex and he was such a pleasure the entire time- professional, responsive and very organized.
