VIP is the best venue for any event! We have no regrets! They made us feel so special!

We just had our wedding at VIP country club and could not be happier. Kim at the front desk greeted us and made us feel at home from the very start! She always offered us water (still or sparkling, and even snacks if they had it at the time). This was a different greeting than we got at many other venues we had visited. From the moment you walk into VIP, you’re treated exceptionally. What impressed me the most, was the Kim recognized us EVERY SINGLE TIME we visited! We booked with VIP over a year prior to our chosen wedding date. We would show up unannounced and she knew who we were! This may be small to some people, but the details matter and they have thought of everything at VIP to make you feel extra special! Kim goes that extra mile personally!

Then we were introduced to Jen Jolly who answered ALL of our questions and was basically our “pre-wedding planner” before she hooked us up with the stellar wedding planner Jaime from LoveGrace Weddings!!! Jen was honest and made sure just about anything was possible! She always made time for us to answer our questions. If she didn’t know the answer, she ALWAYS looked into it and got back to us! She went out of her way for us and she didn’t have to! It truly showed how much VIP valued us!

When we got closer to our wedding date we met the owner Tom. He was able to personalize so much for us, including a caviar tasting for 2 in the bridal suite post ceremony! Brianne was the BEST bridal attendant! She helped me change out of my heels into sneakers and held my VERY HEAVY bouquet throughout the photoshoots and helped carry my dress everywhere! Vin was a fantastic Maitre’d! He made sure everything went smoothly and that we were informed ONLY when we needed to be. If things happen to go wrong at your event, you will not know until the following day as they will fix it before it even gets to you! They are a well oiled machine and know how to make sure their guests of honor have the best time! There was nothing they couldn’t do for us and every member of VIP staff is top notch! They are all extremely well trained and know what they are doing! I wish I had another event coming up that I can do with VIP because I know they can do anything! Shout out to all the bartenders, waitstaff, and set up crew to make sure the whole day went swimmingly for the guests!

The food is incredible too! You can’t go wrong with any of the food choices. Ask Tom what he recommends as popular, he knows what he’s talking about! Don’t be afraid to ask for vendor recommendations too. They have great relationships with other vendors, be it bands, DJ, flowers, buses, Photo Booth, etc. They have someone for everything! We wanted to do an anti-gravity (floating cake) and they bought a special cake stand to do it! We didn’t have to buy it ourselves. VIP is always updating itself! Each and every single time we went back to the venue, I saw someone touching up sconces with gold paint, or the outside walls with white paint, updating the dance floors, etc. They clearly take pride in their work and their appearance. Their goal is to make sure you’re happy and we couldn’t have been happier on our wedding day! We had the absolute best time!

There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect VIP was for our wedding day. From the moment we toured the venue with Tiffany, to meeting with the General Manager Tom to finalize all our details, the entire process was so easy and effortless. The day of our wedding we had the most amazing staff helping us the entire afternoon into night! Our Maitre D, Vinston, was always one step ahead of us and ensured our night went perfect. The star of our show was our amazing bridal attendant Alyssa, she knew what we needed before we did. Vinston and Alyssa were truly every couples dream team and we will never be able to thank them enough. If you’re looking for an amazing one stop shop venue for your wedding VIP was truly the total package ! And if you’re on the fence about booking the on-site after party.. DO IT! our guests haven’t stopped talking about how amazing it was !

The VIP Country Club was beyond exceptional as a wedding venue. We toured many venues in the tri-state area and VIP blew them all out of the water. The whole staff through the whole process were kind and professional, they had clearly been run through the gamut with thousands of weddings and brought all of that experience to our own. The maitre d' and the manager ensured a smooth run of show and made the decision making process not only stress free but FUN. Where other venues would tell us "no" or would cringe when we'd start bringing up out of the box ideas, everyone at VIP would get excited and ideate with us. It made everything feel like a collaborative project.

The first thing that drew us to the venue was its stunning big reception room with floor to ceiling windows looking out towards the Long Island Sound. We knew that this room would be perfect for us for a couple reasons: 1) since it already had a very specific design (tin ceilings, deep blue patterned carpet etc) we knew we didn't have to bring in any decoration and 2) the space was separated in a perfect way where there was a lounge area away from the dance floor but still in the same room. This last point ended up making the biggest difference because even as guests were taking a break from dancing or just having a chat, they could still be present in the same room with everyone instead of disappearing from view for large swaths of the night.

We were initially worried about there being two weddings happening at the same time in adjoining rooms but truly, we never heard a thing! At no point in the arrival, ceremony, or reception process did we really run into the other wedding in a meaningful way. It was a different story altogether at our shared hotel haha.

And of course, the food was fantastic. We honestly weren't expecting gourmet quality from a place sending out so many dishes every day (a kitchen serving TWO weddings!) and were a bit underwhelmed by some of the dishes at the tasting. But the food on the wedding day was phenomenal. Our guests were raving, the cocktail hour food was tremendous (the Himalayan salt block grill and clam bake were big winners), and the entrees and cake stunned. We had people getting take out boxes to bring food back home with them! Never in my life saw that at a wedding before.

One of the best options VIP has is the dessert cart extension that adds 30min to your reception and waiters come around with extra desserts and old brass carts with our favorite amaros and liqueurs. It kept the party going and brought a level of fun to the end of night events beyond just "keep dancing until you're exhausted".

We couldn't be happier with how our wedding went at VIP Country Club and we'd recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. We do not have a single regret about choosing VIP for our big day. From planning to execution, they guided and worked with us and have heard only raves from our guests and people thinking we spent twice as much as we did. They even last minute helped us set up a first look when we got rained out, helped us with upgrades and add ons when we came under our guest count, and did it all without batting an eye. Thank you thank you thank you VIP for going above and beyond to make our wedding as special as possible.
