Essex Club

Our Wedding at The Essex Club We recently held our wedding at The Essex Club and overall had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing delicious and beautifully presented. We had 135 guests, including ourselves, but the maître d’ told us we had 138. We know for a fact three people did not show up, yet we didn’t receive the meals for those three absent guests. Considering how good the food was and that we had paid for those meals it was a bit disappointing and confusing. Our maître d’, Rob, was very kind and hardworking; we truly appreciated his efforts throughout the night. That said, there were a few areas that could be improved. Despite asking in advance for food service to begin earlier, it was served much later than requested. Some small details we’d discussed ahead of time with both Jessica (the manager) and Rob such as how programs and wands would be distributed at the ceremony ended up being handled differently, and we had many left over. In addition, some details were missed: for example, the team didn’t realize we had a sand ceremony planned and had to set it up at the last minute. These issues were all handled on the spot, but they did add some stress. Another area to note is clarity around policies and fees. During booking, we were told a lot was possible, but closer to the event there were additional charges or timing restrictions for decorating or requesting certain set-ups. The administration fee also felt a bit confusing. Jessica, the manager, did kindly allow me to decorate the ceiling; however, it had to be completed within a specific time frame, otherwise I would have been charged extra. Finally, although we had an open bar, our signature drink required us to supply the alcohol ourselves because the venue did not carry it. A small gesture like providing it for us would have gone a long way and left us feeling even more taken care of. Overall, The Essex Club is a beautiful venue with great food and a hardworking staff. With a bit more consistency, organization, and flexibility on details, it could easily provide an exceptional experience for future couples.
