Trenton Country Club

This review is specifically for Melanie Haig! I did not have the opportunity to have Melanie at Trenton Country Club but at Old York Country Club but her services and professionalism were too suburb to not leave a review! From the moment we booked our wedding she was organized and excited for us, once we met she listened to our vision, and was very open to all of our ideas. During the planning process she was available and responsive the entire time easing any stress we had! The day of the wedding she was attentive and by my side the whole day! I was so grateful to have her there supporting me as well as ensuring that all the behind the scenes decorating and set up was going to plan. Even after the wedding she had everything cleaned up and ready to be picked up in boxes! She exceeded my expectations and more and any bride as well as Trenton Country Club will be so lucky to have her!!

This review is specifically for Melanie Haig who works at TCC now, but when we knew her worked at Old York Country Club.

Melanie is a phenomenal wedding planner. We originally planned to have our wedding in 2020, but had to postpone until 2021 due to the pandemic. Melanie was there every step of the way to provide us with whatever we needed. We had a very unique, science-themed wedding and Melanie had many great ideas that contributed wonderfully. We couldn’t have asked for a more calm, considerate, and well-organized wedding planner. If you choose Melanie to plan your wedding you won’t be disappointed! We liked her so much, we hope to utilize her for our next big life event :)

*This review is specific to the superb service we received from Melanie Haig for our 10/2021 wedding at Melanie's previous place of employment. She was so great we wanted to share our review.

Trenton Country Club Brides - you are in luck! Our wedding was in great hands from day one with Melanie. She answered all of our questions during our initial tour, addressed our concerns as we confirmed details for our booking, and supported us through the entire year of the wedding preparation process. We navigated a tough situation with a vendor, and Melanie communicated and was transparent about her concerns and helped us feel comfortable with our decisions. My never ending lists of questions, excess of decor and last minute guest challenges didn't phase her. She always had a solution. On the day of the wedding we didn't have to think about anything - Melanie already had it taken care of. She truly let us enjoy our wedding as she handled the details and logistics - Thank you!

I had two weddings at Old York Country Club - once to elope with just our immediate families in 2020, and another vow renewal/reception with all our family and friends in 2021. Though I didn't technically have my wedding at Trenton Country Club, I wanted to recommend the banquet director Melanie Haig, who will be moving from Old York to Trenton Country Club in 2022 once Old York sadly closes. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Melanie. I heard so many horror stories of venues and coordinators treating COVID couples poorly, and I'm so grateful that Melanie stood in our corner and supported us through every step of our multi-wedding, COVID-crazy journey! It's not easy to plan a wedding in a pandemic, but Melanie guided us with a cool head and expert advice. Any place she goes will be made better by her dedication to the couples she works with, and she'll make sure your day is amazing and memorable no matter what. Thank you Melanie!

We had my son's Bar Mitzvah at the Trenton Country Club this past weekend. I thought the venue was amazing. The facility was beautiful, food was great, and the staff was a pleasure to work with.

Our wedding at TCC was the best - the staff really went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. I did not have one ounce of stress on our day because of them. I have gotten COUNTLESS compliments about the food (especially cocktail hour), and am so happy that we went with TCC to make our day what it was.

Superior service compared to many other clubs. The staff is professional and beyond helpful. They go well beyond in all areas of your event.

Recently hosted Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital-Hamilton, We vs. C Event and utilized multiple rooms during the event which can be a bit tricky coordinating a "moving event". The club did an excellent job led by Richard Portney.

The food offering were not only displayed attractively, they were so tasteful that the only complaint from guests was that "they ate too much" because everything was great !

I ask you "why go anywhere else ?"

This review is WAY overdue but totally necessary.

I could not imagine having had our wedding AND reception anywhere else. We worked, from day one until the wedding day, with Richard Portney, and I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that if you don't have Richard to work with for your wedding day, then you're nowhere near as lucky as we were.

Richard started our meetings off telling us how dedicated he was to making our day the best it could be, without us having to do much - because we should be able to enjoy our day. When I say he went ABOVE and BEYOND that role, I am not kidding.

The venue itself is beautiful. It's homey, and quaint ... the grounds are well taken care of ... the staff is amazing. Beyond that, it's a place where everyone truly cares. The day of our wedding, the ceremony was scheduled to be outside. It was a visibly GORGEOUS Autumn day ... blue skies, colorful leaves - AND, record breaking winds (figures, something has to go wrong haha). My husband (then fiance) built us a heavy-duty wooden wedding "Arch" to get married under, and it was beautiful. Three times before the ceremony began, it FELL OVER! Richard took it upon himself to go outside, and secure it into the ground so it wouldn't happen during the ceremony.

Before the day began, Richard was doing his final walk through of the venue to verify everything we had asked was done (because details are 120% his thing!), and he found that the wrong color chair covers were delivered (white instead of ivory), AND the vendor delivered them a wrinkled mess. Without even BLINKING, Richard got it taken care of (and, might I add, I had no clue this happened until AFTER the wedding) - we had crisp, clean, ivory chair covers and tablecloths like nothing had ever happened.

My florist delivered our centerpieces, and our bouquets and the bakers delivered our cake. They came at two separate times, so the greenery I wanted on our cake wasn't put on. HAVE NO FEAR, Richard looked at the photos I had given him ahead of time and saw it needed to be done, and did it himself!

My DJ got stuck in traffic on the way to the venue ... again, without even blinking, Richard took it upon himself to talk to the staff and keep our guests entertained in the cocktail hour space, while the DJ got set up, and it was like nothing happened.

Richard was there, every step of the way, from the beginning to the end of the evening (I mean, even as people were leaving - and then, the next morning for clean up). Everyone who met him, adored him, and saw how hard he worked. I'm telling you - the venue was beautiful, and amazing, and everything we had hoped for, and the food was delicious ... but, Richard made it the "flawless", most amazing day and we could NOT be more grateful.

If you're considering TCC for your wedding, I will ALWAYS recommend it ... and I will ALWAYS remember Richard as such an important part of the success of our wedding day.

Elegant venue, fabulous food, and very professional. Trenton Country Club exceeds my expectations every time. The entire staff works with you to create a special event that guests will remember. The Director of Catering was extremely knowledgeable and helpful from beginning to end and receptive to my requests. This was our second gala at Trenton Country Club and each one was unique with the same outcome a "wonderful experience."

The staff of the Trenton Country Club exemplifies courtesy and professionalism. In addition, suggestions were made in order to make my event cost effective.
