A magical wedding!

We just had the most amazing experience at the New Haven Country Club for our daughter's wedding. First of all, Karissa is the most helpful, caring and flexible coordinator. She went WAY above and beyond to ensure that our family and friends had such a beautiful day. She felt like part of our family!
Second of all the FOOD... absolutely delicious and the team did such a great job serving a near capacity crowd in a timely manner. Everyone raved about their meal.
Third, the bar staff and busing staff were responsive, efficient and FUN.
And lastly, the facility sparkled in every way imaginable. The clubhouse and patio have amazing character and class.
We would recommend New Haven country club for any event. Can't say enough great things about the setting and team!

Baby shower of my dreams!

I booked the NHCC without ever having been there before. I had it recommended by a few friends for my baby shower. I was leaving for a work trip the week I needed to book and Karissa went above and beyond to help me see everything I needed to virtually. From day 1 she was amazing to work with. I booked 4 months in advance and those 4 months were such a breeze to communicate with Karissa. She accommodated my every need and gave me all the insights necessary. The shower was beyond beautiful everyone raved about the venue. And the food?! INCREDIBLE! The food and the service were top notch. I can’t wait to plan my next party here!!

Best decision for my wedding

This is a beautiful wedding venue. Every detail was so well done and Karissa, the event coordinator was extremely helpful and easy to work with. They really make a point to work with you to bring your vision to life. The staff also went above and behind to make sure we were taken care of all night at the wedding. All the guests were so impressed and they made everything stress free. To top it off, it was also some of the best wedding food I have ever had. I highly recommend!

2nd family Wedding - Best of the best!

We hosted our 2nd wedding at New Haven Country Club and can say with 100% certainty we would never go anywhere else! The facilities are extremely clean and events are always well organized. The dining room manager, Fred Giangrande, provides exceptional attention to detail. Chef Erik Burr is terrific and our guests are still ranting about the horsdeurves and dinner! Everything was served in a timely manner, hot and delicious - not an easy thing to do with 200+ guests! Karissa Cook, the event manager for New Haven Country Club, makes planning a flawless event easy and seamless. Andrew Cunningham, the general manager, is pleasant and makes you feel you are the only, and MOST important, event at the club! They staffed plenty of skilled bartenders, who created their drinks quickly and our guests experienced no wait for a drink. The New Haven Country Club worked with our outdoor tent vendor and band with collaboration and ease. If you want a special place that will make your personal vision come to life, look no further than New Haven Country Club! 10/10!

Amazing Bridal Shower

Karissa at New Haven Country Club did an absolutely amazing job with everything from start to finish! I had originally had my Bridal shower planned for March 2020, unfortunately due to Covid we had to postpone. With everything being so unknown we were unsure when to reschedule. We ended up choosing a date for August only two weeks prior to the actual event! Karissa made this short time period seamless and had everything exceed my expectations. The food was delicious, staff was attentive and the facility was gorgeous!! I will be having several other events here in the future and am even in the process of planning my 1 year wedding anniversary party with them since we were unable to have a party for our actual wedding in June 2020! Can’t wait to have another amazing event with them! 5 ⭐️ and highly recommend!!!

Great for Corporate Event!

My team at Yale Cancer Center had a wonderful experience working with Karissa Cook and her team at New Haven Country Club for our annual awards cocktail reception! Karissa was great to work throughout the entire process from reserving the date through execution of the final event. The staff was courteous, set-up was seamless, and we can't wait to work with them again!

Excellent Venue

NHCC provides a beautiful setting and wonderful staff! The event coordinator, Karissa Cook was so helpful and responsive to all my questions and made sure every detail was addressed to ensure the occasion was very special.. My daughter's baby shower was a Sunday brunch event --everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the decor looked gorgeous, and the service staff were very accommodating. The guests were so complimentary and actually told me that it was the best baby shower they ever attended. Kudos to all!

We are very satisfied

Our plan A is outdoor wedding and Plan B is indoor if raining. It did rain on our wedding ceremony so they helped us move all chairs inside.

I’m from China and my husband is from Taiwan. NCC event manager Karissa helped us a lot to hold a wedding combining eastern and western culture. We’ve visited a lot of wedding venues and NCC has best price and quality. We highly recommend it!

We love NCC! We may become a member in the future if we finally settle down in Connecticut😁

Love nhcc!

My husband has a history with New Haven Country Club, so it was a no brainer that our wedding would be there.
We (and our guests) cannot say enough good things about NHCC! From the very beginning of our planning, Karissa was professional, friendly, and flexible to anything we needed. She answered any questions or concerns we had, talked us through the process, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the wedding day.
Everyone enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio and raved about the food. The staff was amazing, very attentive and kind.
I could not have asked for a better experience with Karissa & NHCC, we will be back there soon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
