My fiancé and I got engaged in January 2019 and almost immediately started looking at venues. After visiting 6 venues, both in NYC and on Long Island, we met with Engineers Country Club and knew this was the place for us to get married. From the onset, we felt like we had known Ben and Trisha for years even though we had only just met them. They are detailed, competent, responsive and just good people who care about the couples they are working with. Our original wedding was scheduled for May 9, 2020, but had postpone to November 2020 due to COVID. We ultimately cancelled our November 2020 wedding in August once we realized that a 225-person event was not going to happen and got married in a private ceremony We heard horror stories from friends in similar situations where their venues were refusing refunds and restricting available future dates. ECC, Ben and Trisha could not have been more flexible and understanding about the situation. We don’t doubt for a second that our black-tie, Saturday night rager would have been amazing, but we were most impressed with is how ECC conducted themselves when everyone realized the situation was not going to work out. We recommend that anyone looking to get married in the NY area to do it at ECC and have the night that we couldn’t.

When we first began looking at venues, we were having a hard time falling in love with any of them. Most of the places were outdated or just outright dull. Then we went to Engineers Country Club and were blown away. Everything is completely up to date, with a big open concept, keeping all of our guests comfortable. During the cocktail hour, guests had two large rooms to move around in - one of which had couches and other very comfortable seats to lounge in. Every single guest raved about the food during the cocktail hour as well as the reception. When I tell you they had enough food to feed an army, I’m not kidding. Nobody left hungry. Nobody left upset. No matter what their dietary restrictions were, ECC found something for them to eat and enjoy! Between the food and endless cocktails, we had very happy guests. But more importantly, WE were happy. We were in good hands and had absolutely nothing to worry about on our big day! My bridal attendant was by my side whenever I needed her and helped us with anything, no questions asked. Our venue was one of the easiest and best decisions we made!
