We celebrated our daughter's upcoming wedding with a dinner dance at the Women's Club of Glen Ridge on July 25, and the evening could not have gone better.

Cocktails opened in the Mary Raymond room, which spills out onto a patio, a lovely way to start the evening outdoors before the night turned to dinner. From there, guests took a wide staircase up one flight to the second floor for a seated dinner for 70, dancing, and our DJ. There is no elevator, but the climb is easy, and the room at the top is light and airy, with Juliet balconies, a fresco, and a beautiful mirror that gives the whole space a real sense of occasion.

We had the whole second floor to ourselves: the dining room, a ladies' room, a bride's room, and a lounge next to the kitchen. High ceilings, original woodwork, real history in every corner: it has an old world elegance you cannot manufacture in a newer space.

The balcony overlooking the Club's larger room below served as our buffet line, with one corner set up as a bar. After the main course, the same space turned over to dessert without a single hitch.

The Club has one kitchen on the first floor and a second on the second floor, connected by a dumbwaiter, each with its own refrigerator. For a caterer heating and plating food for a crowd across two floors, the setup could not be more efficient. Everything came out warm and on time, and every room was spotless throughout the night.

Elizabeth Shaw, the Office Manager, and Luis Midon, the Facilities Manager, were on top of every detail and treated our event like their own.

If you want a room with real character and a staff that treats your event like it matters to them too, put the Women's Club of Glen Ridge on your list. We could not have asked for a better setting for this milestone in our daughter's life.

I had my daughter sweet sixteen at Women's Club of Glenridge. yesterday. The place is beautiful, the lay out is so attracting. the service from the staff was undescribable. My daughter was very happy, and our guests were complimenting the place as well. Luis is extraordinary. he assisted us from day one. The day of the party, Luis ensure that everything is working smoothly.

I am not exaggerating, I really don't have the word to describe Luis assistance and the glamorous look of the ball room. i will recommend the venue for any events.

The perfect venue if you are looking for the chance to create a wedding that is uniquely you. This beautifully maintained building was built as a clubhouse in 1925 in the Georgian style. It is elegant and personal. They only book one event per day so you do not have to share with another bride. The staff is very attentive and flexible. T&L catering is their preferred caterer. They make a great team and will create your perfect day.

We had our wedding on 3/12/22 at the Women's Club of Glen Ridge, and we couldn't be happier that we chose it for our reception! Elizabeth and the staff are all very helpful and easy to work with, and it's a great value for such a lovely, historic venue. There is so much space to work with and it photographs beautifully.

We recently had our wedding celebration at the Women's Club of Glen Ridge. The space is charming, lovely, elegant, beautiful. (if you're looking for something modern and snazzy, pass.) Elizabeth was amazing to work with -- responsive, kind, helpful, made great recommendations for vendors, was available for the last minute to-ing and fro-ing. There were so many compliments on the space -- almost no one had heard of it and just loved the vibe. It's truly a hidden gem.

We were very happy to celebrate our wedding at Women's Club of Glen Ridge. Aesthetically, it's one of my favorite venues in the area and the relative affordability and size made it a winner. It has a lot of charm- we went up to the balcony to wave goodbye to our guests and it was special to be able to see everyone at once. I reached out to The Women's Club of Glen Ridge thirteen months before the wedding and Elizabeth was responsive and a joy to work with throughout the year. Challenges: street parking only (plenty of space but no lot) and it's not a one-stop-shop so you'll need to book caterers and coordinators separately. Aside from the beauty, my favorite thing was that they don't mark up the rental price just because it's a wedding- one other venue doubled its price when I said it was a wedding so be careful of that, folks ;)
Overall, I was very happy!

A gorgeous historic building with a sprawling brick entryway, 2 dynamic ballrooms, and a charming open terrace. The event coordinators are charming and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this venue for your big day!

So glad we went with the Women's Club of Glen Ridge for our wedding! Elizabeth was so helpful as we planned from a distance, and was very responsive every time we had a question. The venue itself is well-maintained, and made for a great environment for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We especially recommend it for couples having their ceremony and reception in the same place--both the upstairs and downstairs looked beautiful.

The Women's Club was an amazing venue. The surrounding area was great for photos, the layout worked perfect for what we envisioned our day to look like and the staff was always accommodating and friendly.

The Women's Club of Glen Ridge is an exceptional venue for a wedding. We held both our ceremony and reception here in September 2015 and could not have been happier with our choice. The club is beautiful without any embellishment needed, although they welcome you to decorate. Elizabeth, the manager (and her predecessor Suzanne), was very accommodating and punctual about helping us plan our date and the custodian Linda was also very helpful during our wedding weekend. The club provides tables and chairs for guests. We did rent folding chairs for the ceremony upstairs, but they have approximately 100 chairs you can use if you don't mind older chairs that don't match (you could always get chair covers too). We easily accommodated 140 guests for our wedding in the ballroom, with plenty of room to dance and hold a photobooth, dessert tables and two bars. If you want a non-traditional all-inclusive venue, the Women's Club is an exceptional choice. Hosting our wedding there allowed us to make a truly personal and intimate wedding.
