We started…read morewith Hors d'Oeuvres which were elegantly served to guests while mingling and enjoying cocktails. they were absolutely delicious and plated beautifully. After which came the buffet style dinner, which was just as delicious...the flavors, colors and presentation of the food was spectacular. The wait staff, the chef, the bartender...moved seamlessly in their respective jobs - even offering the guests an immediate napkin should it have fallen. Impeccable. So much did I love everything that Dave presented that I used him a few months later to usher in the 4th of July. Again--everything seamless, smooth, elegant, professional, delicious. Thank you Dave..beyond my wildest expectations on every level. I never had to walk into my kitchen EVER...it was all about enjoying my guests. At the end of the evening my kitchen was spotless, trash removed, dishes/silverware cleaned, sorted, placed and left overs in my glass containers in the refrigerator. Top notch service like none other. Thank You Dave and your unbeatable team.

Such a gorgeous lavish display. Everything was fresh. The chips, my goodness, what a lovely crunch. Not too salty. (My husband was looking for leftover salsa the next day because it was that good). We also had him grill out at our home and very much enjoyed beef and chicken kebabs and burgers and hot dogs. Perfectly cooked! I always overcook meat on the grill, but Dave did not. His team kept everything a safe temperature as he grilled to perfection. I loved his tomato cucumber salad. I detected a hint of garlic and something else that jazzed it up, and orzo. Pilaf was also a big hit with shavings of carrot. Even his whipped cream was divine. We splurged on a bar tender, and Victor was a delight. Such a gentleman. He whipped up cocktails, mocktails and kept the bar tidy and professional. I think everyone in Pelham knows what a knockout job Dave and his staff do. We can't wait for the next time we are lucky enough to eat Dave's food.

Of course we will hire her again!

My friend had a very nice baby shower here in celebration of her newest addition to her family. I…read moream very familiar with this venue because years ago my husband and I came here to shop around for wedding reception locations. They have ample parking in a private lot and very nicely maintained ballrooms for events. My friend's event was upstairs and the space was huge. She had plenty of room for a gift table, dessert table, buffet, DJ and room for dancing. The lighting was pretty and the food was good. The service staff was attentive and cleared away tables quickly. They came around to take drink orders regularly. Her package included wine, beer and juice but they also had an bar downstairs where guests could purchase mixed drinks if they were so inclined. It was definitely a beautiful event and this would be the perfect place for a wedding reception, coming-of-age party (bar/bat mitzvah, sweet sixteen, quinceañera, etc) or a shower. The room looked like a wonderland. It was great.

If I could give VIP Country Club more than 5 stars, I would. Our wedding was truly the best day of…read moreour lives, and that is in large part because of the incredible team at VIP. From the very beginning, Tom and Tiffany made the entire planning process feel effortless. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but they were organized, responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Every question was answered, every detail was thought through, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. On the wedding day, Vinston, the Maître D', was nothing short of exceptional. He exceeded every expectation we had. His professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our day. He handled all of the wedding day coordination flawlessly, making sure everything stayed on schedule while making it look effortless. We never had to worry about a single thing because Vinston was always one step ahead. Every couple deserves someone like him running their wedding. Our bridal attendant, Daniella, was also absolutely amazing. She was constantly by my side making sure I had everything I needed--from bustling my dress, bringing me food and drinks, fixing anything that needed attention, and making sure I actually had a chance to enjoy the day. She made me feel so cared for and truly helped me soak in every moment. The food deserves its own review. We heard over and over from our guests that it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. The cocktail hour was incredible--not only was the selection endless, but everything was fresh, delicious, and constantly replenished. There was so much variety that guests kept discovering new stations throughout the hour. It was abundant in every sense of the word. Then came dinner, and somehow it was just as impressive. One of the biggest compliments we received all night was that people actually ate every bite of their meals. That's something you don't hear often at weddings! Every entrée was cooked perfectly, portions were generous, and guests were raving about the quality of the food long after the wedding ended. And then there was the after-party. It completely exceeded our expectations. The energy never died, the food was perfect for keeping everyone going, and the room stayed packed until the very end. Since the wedding, we've had countless friends and family tell us it was the party of the year and one of the most fun weddings they've ever attended. People are still talking about it weeks later. VIP Country Club doesn't just host weddings--they create unforgettable experiences. Every single staff member we interacted with was kind, professional, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. We felt like royalty from the moment we arrived until the very last guest left. Thank you to Vinston, Daniella, Tom, Tiffany, and the entire VIP Country Club team for giving us memories that we'll cherish forever. We would choose VIP again a thousand times over and cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple looking for a venue that truly goes above and beyond.

I'll be honest... I was not excited about having a big…read morewedding celebration at first, but it was important to my fiancé and in-laws. So I set out to find a venue. It was all tiresome until I found VIP CLUB. I met Tiffany H for a tour and she MADE me FEEL excited and cared for and made me feel actually good about having a big fat wedding. I met Tom later on with my mom to go over the timeline and details and he is fantastic. He KNOWS his stuff, and executed a seamless event where everything flowed perfectly and felt right. I asked for his guidance and opinion on everything, and that was the best move. Vinston was my maître d' and he was SO FUN, I felt so cared for, and my fiancé who is  very opinionated in the best sense, loved him. He felt grateful for such professionalism and efficient service. I felt grateful as a bride to feel so supported. Our attendant Daniella was our GIRL. She had my back and got me everything I needed. I felt so supported. Tom's well wishes during our cocktail hour was also so sweet. As for the party, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!! My guests said: The food was amazing. Cocktail hour was amazing!! Venue was beautifullllll. The party was non stop!! For DJ/MC I used sound active.  Entertainment / performers  was incredible, for this I used BossaNova Entertainment. Beautiful flowers were by Westchester Floral, my guy Danny. My cousins and MIL said it was one of the MOST FUN weddings and best weddings they have been to- that was everything to me. It was worth every penny. Whatever type of wedding you want, whatever vibe or goal, they can make it happen, and your guest will enjoy it. I found them through referrals and for me that is how I find the best and my favorite things in life!!! You can see my husband Christopher and my testimonial video on this Instagram. Thank you VIP CLUB you guys are an INCREDIBLE TEAM. I left there that night as a happy, satisfied, and feeling very loved bride.

I should add that Chef Jaime was fully prepared to provide a COVID-safe experience complete with mask, gloves, sanitizer, etc. This was a Michelin-star experience in the privacy of our home and I would not hesitate to hire Chef Jaime again for future events!

Honestly, we don't know what we'd do without him. Nik is not only talented, but he's also wonderful with our whole family--everyone looks forward to his visits. He provides seasonal menus for us to choose from, arranges for all the ingredients to be added to our Instacart before he arrives, and then comes in and works his magic. When he's done, we have a clean kitchen and a fridge full of delicious, healthy meals ready to enjoy. The price is very fair for the incredible service, convenience, and quality meals we get. I would highly recommend Nik to anyone looking for a personal chef who truly makes life easier and tastier!
