The space is absolutely stunning, sits right on a pond with a beautiful view, and the food was incredible— all of our guests are still raving about it. Russ and Eileen made everything run smooth and ended up being as perfect as I could have imagined!

The OFC was a dream come true, we only looked here and nowhere else. We wanted something rustic, beautiful and on the water; it checked every box. We had Carlos for our maitre’d and he was awesome. He was so prompt with his responses and answered every single crazy question I had. The food was insanely delicious. Our guests were raving about how amazing it all was! The night ran so smoothly thanks to him and Eileen, the most kind bridal attendant. The wait staff were professional and polite. The views for our ceremony and cocktail hour were absolutely stunning. Can’t say enough good things about the OFC.

Samantha M.

Absolutely amazing. This was the one and only venue we went to look at. We wanted a smaller, more intimate wedding, that wasn’t so much of a ‘wedding factory’, and Old Field Club checked all the boxes for us. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony and to make use of beautiful grounds and Old Field certainly delivered. The ballroom/inside is beautiful. The whole place is stunning. The food was fantastic. Carlos is hands down the best person to have on your team from planning through the entire actual wedding day. Super calm, personable, organized, responsive and so much fun to have at your side all night. Felt like he was one of our friends. I can’t say enough good things about him and his team there. They took such great care of us, our families, and the wedding at large; you can really tell they take pride in the work that they do. Never needed a wedding planner or day of coordinator. They helped take care of every detail.

Courtney

They are so underrated when it comes to wedding venues. I had 120 people and it was the perfect size. The guests enjoyed being indoor/outdoor and it was a big selling point. Carlos goes above and beyond. Anything we needed, he was always responsive and so nice! You can tell that he takes pride in his work and really wants to make sure his couples have the absolute best experience.

This was the first and last venue my hubby and I looked at. From the moment we walked in, we just knew that this was our place to get married and celebrate our love. The venue speaks for itself. It is private, yet gives you that warm homey feeling. It has a rustic and romantic feel. The grounds are well maintained, providing you an indoor and outdoor space for the day. The people!! Gosh, I could go on and on about how amazing everyone at Old Field Club was to work with. They all are so courteous, kind, and truly want to make your day just as amazing as you’ve pictured it to be. They all care so much! Sabine (assistant general manager), Carlos (Maitre’D), and Eileen (bridal attendant) were phenomenal. I didn’t have to worry about anything leading up to our special day, as well as the day of.

If you want a retro/boho aesthetic, this is your realm. It’s set perfectly on a quiet bay on the north shore engulfed in trees and natural beauty. Carlos and Sabine are mindful and well versed in the wedding industry. They are accommodating, knowledgeable and above all, genuinely show interest in you and your day.

We were looking for nontraditional, rustic feels without being in an actual barn and they just hit every box on our list. It was the first place we looked at, and we immediately fell in love. Rustic meets waterfront is no exaggeration. Their grounds are just breathtaking. Sabine and Carlos' service was outstanding. They were so accommodating and helpful to us not only on our big day. The day of, everything was seamless. The team at OFC works so well together. It is a one event venue, so we were the only wedding of the night which helps reduce stress and worry that things may go wrong. They kept to the timeline and everything went off without a hitch. They also made sure were taken care of. We had a private meal post ceremony which allowed us some time together to take it all in and that was so special for us. The food was delicious - all of our guests raved about cocktail hour and their dinners. Each server worked so hard - drinks were always being served, plates were cleared so tables were clear, everyone was just so well taken care of at all times. So many guests said it was the best wedding they've been too and that they had such a great time.

My husband and I fell in love with the Old Field Club the moment we walked through the doors. It was the first and only venue we toured, and we knew right away that it was the place we were meant to be married in. The beautiful location, the historic bones, and the people who work there all make this venue extremely special. Sabine and Carlos were absolutely incredible throughout the planning process and were always quick to respond and happy to work with our requests. Ahead of the wedding, we were assured we did not need a wedding coordinator for the day of, as Carlos is extremely hands on, and we found that to be true. Carlos was a rock star and I am so glad we went with our gut and chose the Old Field Club.

We fell in love with the Old Field Club as soon as we saw it! It was rustic but still with all the amenities of a catering hall -- the best of both worlds. The staff exceeded our expectations on the day of the wedding. Stephanie, the head of catering, was excellent and quickly responded to requests. Carlos, our maitre'd that day, was excellent and was attentive to our every need. We loved that we chose this as our venue.

Kaitlin R.

The Old Field Club was amazing in every way!! It’s beautiful of course, but the people were just as wonderful! Carlos and Sabine made the experience smooth and stress-free and so incredibly fun! I'm so thankful we were able to get a date...it was truly magical!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Old Field Club recently and it was amazing! Dan & Sabine were helpful in answering all of our questions prior to the wedding and then helped to set up everything exactly as we envisioned on the day of. The Old Field Club is absolutely gorgeous & we couldn't be happier that we had our wedding there. All of our guests kept saying how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was as well. We'd highly recommend OFC to anyone!
