Perfect Venue, Lovely Staff, Polished Yacht Club

We had our Wedding at GYC this Fall and couldn't be happier! Such a perfect venue overlooking the Long Island Sound. We got lucky with no rain during our Ceremony thank God! The venue has a pretty neat set-up and an upstairs area too overlooking the Reception/Dance floor. Alison did a great job ensuring everything was just right on our Wedding Day. No complaints, highly recommend this venue especially if you have a love for the ocean and sailing.

The best night of my life

My wedding at the GYC was everything I could’ve dreamt of and more! From the attention to detail, to the incredible staff you couldn’t choose a better venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
