Exceeded our expectations

The Sandra and her team at the Graduate club were a pleasure to work with. Their hospitality and accommodation for us our guests and even our other vendors are much appreciated.

We had a Sunday brunch reception which I a little out of the ordinary but the Graduate club delivered!
We are still hearing about how good and beautiful everything was. The food was delicious, especially the hors d'oeuvres! Everyone loved the flowers too! It was everything and more beautiful than what I envisioned it!

Pure Perfection

I can’t say enough about how amazing it was to work with the staff at the Q Club in New Haven. They made my vision of a prohibition themed wedding come to life! Every detail was spot on perfection! The food was exceptional, their in-house made centerpieces breathtaking and their service exceeded all expectations. Not a beat was missed as everyone working accommodated every guest in a quick and efficient manner. I truly felt like I was back in the 1920s as I entered their elegant ballroom. My dreams came true as every minute of my wedding went by; memories I’ll treasure forever. The Q Club made everything possible; I couldn’t of picked a more suited venue.

The Graduate Club was the perfect venue for my daughter and son in laws wedding. They both went to Yale where their relationship started so we wanted to have the wedding there. We went to see it and fell in love with it. All the other places we looked at were too generic. They got married at Battel Chapel right across the street and were able to take pictures on campus and in Calhoun college where they met. The Graduate Club is very quaint and has a ton of personality. The staff could not be more accommodating and they were all so very nice. All the guests raved about the food, the staff and the club. They had the wedding of their dreams and I could not be happier. Thank you for everything you did to make their wedding perfect. I would definitely recommend The Graduate Club to anyone who asked.
