Our dreams came true at the Essex Club!

We had our wedding on 11/04/2022 and we could not have been happier that we chose to have our wedding at the Essex Club. From the beginning Jessica was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so accommodating and was able to make all of our visions come true. We had about 130 guests and everyone fit so comfortable. Jansi was the bridal attendant and she was literally the best. She was always by mine and my husbands side getting us whatever we needed. She was there for us throughout the entire night and was so attentive. Rob, the matrie`d was great and kept the wedding running so smoothly from start to finish. The Essex Club truly made my husband and I`s dream come true for our wedding day. We wish we could relive the day and every second of thanks to the Essex Club staff!! The food was also amazing and our guests still rave about all the food!! We wish we could relive the wedding every weekend!!

My wedding day was absolutely perfect!
My guests could not stop talking about how good the food was and how polite the wait staff was. My bridal attendant was absolutely phenomenal! And the manager, Jessica is so lovely and down to earth-she was a complete pleasure and made sure everything went accordingly on our big day. And a special thanks to Robert, he was so nice and attentive during our wedding day and just made the process so much more smoother.
Would highly recommend this venue hands down!
