I cannot say enough good things about the Essex Club (formerly Brentwood Country Club). The Essex club is an extremely affordable option compared to most places on Long Island. Living in Suffolk County, this is one of the few venues around that give off ballroom/ country club vibes. I had a bit of sticker shock when first getting quotes from venues and started to re think the whole having a big wedding thing, and then I came across the Essex Club. They have a great package and they are a Lessing’s venue. Not only was I able to get a great package, but because my wedding was the second week of November, I was able to get winter pricing compared to fall. This allowed me to book a Saturday night wedding without needing an insane minimum. Jessica at Essex club is truly amazing, and makes your day flawless with her attention to detail. I had a minor mishap with a different vendor day of the wedding and Jessica called them herself and had them fix it within 20 minutes, no questions asked. Because they only do one wedding at a time, their main focus is you all day and you are able to come to the venue 2 hours prior to your cocktail hour ( so no need for another place to take pictures). The food was amazing, and we got so many compliments. We had a very intimate wedding of about 100 people and the 10 tables of 10 was honestly the perfect fit. We got so many compliments on our choice of venue. The Essex Club is truly a hidden gem with a staff that makes you feel like part of the family.

Everyone at the Essex Club was amazing We hosted our wedding here in mid-November. We received countless compliments on the delicious cuisine and the wonderful, welcoming service. The venue had an amazing atmosphere, and Jessica was responsive and answered all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Jancey, the bridal attendant, and Maitre d' were both attentive, and did a wonderful job and excellent customer service. At Essex Club, we experienced the wedding of our dreams. If you are considering holding your wedding here, I heartily recommend it.

We cannot recommend this venue enough. Start to finish was such a great experience for us! We got many comments from guests about how delicious the food was and the staff was incredible. They were accommodating, helpful and kind. They truly were there to make sure we had the best day possible. The vendors included in their all inclusive package were excellent to work with as well. The day went smooth and was flawless and we truly can’t thank the Essex Club enough for making the best night of our lives possible! They set up and took down all of our decor which was HUGE, it’s not something the bride, groom or family wants to do after celebrating all night. Jessica was also fantastic- she answered all of my questions (believe me, I had a ton) and was so helpful during the planning process. I never had the “stressed bride” experience and it was definitely because of her help and expertise! She made sure I was prepared for everything at our final details meeting and was so helpful. We’re so sad that it’s over but happy to say that if we had to rewind and do it all over again, we wouldn’t regret choosing the Essex Club for a single second

The Essex Club was an absolute delight to work with. Jessica made everything straight forward and easy throughout the entire process. She answered all of my questions and had some great suggestions. The day of, the entire staff made sure the event went smoothly. Everything was on time and our guests were so pleased with everything from the food, to the service, and the decorations. I would recommend the Essex club to anyone that wants to celebrate their special day.
Sam Kuglemas
Nothing beats the essex club! From the beginning to the end Jessica was almost like an angel from above! Any questions no matter how stupid or how silly she always responded! Rob was amazing and Jancey was literally an angel! I would get married again just to have it there and will definitely be having my baby shower there! We love you all!!!

We had the most Beautiful Wedding at the Essex Club The staff was amazing the food was the delicious and Jessica helped us plan our special day from start to finish

Essex Club is a gorgeous venue for any event. Great view! We couldn’t have picked a better place for our daughter’s bridal shower. We were immediately impressed by the competence Analiese and Jessica, the event coordinators knew about every aspect of the venue. Not only did they let us store our decorations the day before, but they also helped us by displaying them an hour before the shower. Their attentiveness was on point!
During the party, Rob, the maitre d’, made sure that everything ran smoothly. He even made sure that our daughter had a meal and a drink. What a guy! We won’t forget that.
So, if you’re looking for a venue for a great party, give them a call. They will be more than happy to show you this wonderful place. Our guests raved about this hidden gem!
Allison Weisbroat
This venue was perfect for us. We visited a lot of venues on Long Island and frankly they are all too overpriced and offer the most basic stuff. This venue was very reasonably priced and so nicely spread out. Jessica who was in constant contact with us was amazing. Our Maitre D knew his stuff and was also amazing. The food was so good and the vendors that they have to offer in their package were all good! We didn’t want anything over the top but we did want a nice wedding without spending a down payment on a house and that’s exactly what we got! This place is beautiful and I highly recommend you take a tour and really see what they have to offer!
Mrs Finnin
Nice wedding reception event.

There are no real words to express how much this venue really impressed me we have done a few events with them before and they have always delivered but when we decided to hold our wedding we really got to see how incredible they really were Jessica Robert and Jansi where absolutely perfect, kind, attentive, it feels like in many ways they became a part of our family and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for everything they have done for us the food was incredible best i have ever had. All the staff was very friendly and appreciative. This is really the only stop for events and weddings
We have been frequenting The Essex Club for the last several years. We run small gatherings for our friends on a yearly basis. The thought of having our wedding there had always seemed an unattainable goal in our minds until Robert came to us with everything we'd need to get that done. We were blown away at the deals that were offered, and overnight what had become a distant dream of getting married became something actually obtainable due to the very fair prices and arrangements that the Essex club offered. They were with us every step of the way all the way from hiring the photographer, hiring the florist, hiring the bakery, and even hiring the DJ. They even hosted open nights to try out the various appetizers and food choices that were available to us!
From day one, this venue has always had our best interests in mind. It's why we've been coming back to them for years. They aren't just looking to get the maximum amount of money from you, and it's refreshing in this day and age to find a venue that not only cares that your event goes off without a hitch, but really makes you feel like you're valued members of their family.
Robert and the rest of the staff of this venue stand head and shoulders above any other venue for this quality. If we could get married twice, we'd do it here a second time. EVERYONE told us that something goes wrong on the wedding day. Not ours. Essex Club was perfect. Flawless even. The food was also incredible and they went out of their way to accommodate us if we needed to make any changes or substitutions.
If you're looking for a venue, give this place a visit. We made memories at this venue that will be with us for the rest of our lives, and we hope that you can make memories like ours too.
