Swan Club

Elegant Venue
Overall: 4 Stars
I attended a coworkers wedding here in late July 2015 (Yes, it’s only going up now) and the overall location and venue is very pleasant. The gardens are immaculately maintained and walking through them between the wedding ceremony and reception is relaxing.
It is rather impressive how quickly the staff reorganizes and changes the décor/​seating/​well everything in the venue itself. A few minute walking outside the room (through the garden) led to about 10 tables being setup with table clothes along with the food arrival. I am certain it takes a lot of staff to achieve this, but the flow from one setup to another without noticing anything is well done.
The buffet (cocktail hour) looked to be well received by all the wedding guests and I enjoyed it myself. The food was good and the bartenders knew what they were doing and were quick about it. Somehow they remember my standard order from the cocktail to the bar in the main reception area. Rather impressed with that.
The reception hall was beautifully decorated in the beach theme with plastic lei’s at each table. The food was a little disappointing. The meat was overcooked, but on the other end the mashed potatoes were amazing. The desserts were also great as well.
As I mentioned before the bartenders and the individuals who handled the decorations and setting up the rooms did an amazing job, however I am unable to say the same about the service staff. While they were friendly for the most part, they were rather rude at the same time. They were quick to clean up plates and glasses of individuals who were not finished with the dishes/​drinks as of yet. I understand everything is on a time table, but to remove a half full glass of champagne from someone who literally just put it on the table is rather improper. Not to mention the lovely woman sitting next to me was bumped into by the service 2 – 3 times by my count without any apology or at minimum excuse me (there was plenty of room to maneuver in our area of the reception hall).
The Swan Club is a nice venue to visit for all your major events. Most everything is catered to near perfection. There were a few hiccups here and there, but as long as everyone has a great time it doesn’t matter too much.
Note: Spend as much time in the gardens as you can, as long as you don’t overheat in the summer scorchers.

Just got home from their Super Bowl party. I don’t even know what to say. The service … the food … everything was terrific. I’ve been to many many Super Bowl parties but none compare to this. Absolutely amazing. I thought what they stated on their web site was what you got, but that wasn’t the case at all. There was potato pancakes and pigs in a blanket and baked clams and brisket and ribs and wings and nachos and cheese and sandwiches and fruit and veggies with dip and mac and cheese and baked beans and Swedish meatballs and eggplant lasagna and cookies to go and who knows what I’m forgetting!
All I can say is that I will be here again next year and the year after that and the year after that. Yes, it was that good.
The only 1 small improvement that they could make is to have a few pull down screens with a projection tv on it but even without that, my friends and I still enjoyed our time here. On the way out, I got high fives and «good job“s from all my friends for finding the Swan Club’s Super Bowl Party.
Thanks Swan Club. Excellent service and I will be checking your fb page for what’s happening there in the future. I will be back!

I held my engagement party here in May of 2015 and it was incredible! I was a nervous wreck about everything since it was the first time I planned a party of this size, but they were so responsive and accommodating to all of our requests. We had Sandra as our manager and she was fantastic! The food was great, they decorated the room beautifully and the garden was so beautiful. Our pictures from that day are such an amazing reminder of the great time we had. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

We got a lunch groupon for after my sisters graduation and I must say this place is BEAUTIFUL. The food was really good but the scenery is def the best part. We had lunch outdoors and the garden was a great place 2 take plenty of photos i would love to get married here!

In November I purchased a groupon for lunch and it stated they were open on Tuesdays. When we decided to go it appeared they changed there days of operation. Unfortunately my husband and I couldn’t make it any of the days of operation. We called the restaurant to ask them if maybe they could refund or groupon anything. Instead they put us on the phone with the manager Shelly who was just such a nice women and offered to have us come in that afternoon for our lunch and we get the whole place to ourselves. We had a wonderful lunch with in a private room with the most beautiful view. Delicious food. Great staff. Can’t wait to try the place in the summer.

My fiancé and I, along with my family, went to a dinner tasting at Swan Club this past Friday. We are looking to have our wedding here in July 2017 and loved the physical appearance and grounds of Swan Club, but wanted to taste the food before committing. Overall the food was good. Our favorites were the Cesar salad, tomato and mozzarella duet, shrimp cocktail duet, filet mignon entrée, and the stuffed filet of sole entrée. Some other dishes were slightly over-​salted (the chicken Wellington and the Greek salad). That said, for a wedding venue with decent prices, the food was good. We are looking forward to a cake tasting at their participating bakery!

We planned and celebrated the 50^th anniversary of The Helping Hand Rescue Mission at the Swan Club on October 15, 2015 in their beautiful Camelot Room.
What a wonderful experience. I honestly had never planned an event before, but Shelley and Joseph made me feel so at ease and helped to guide me through every detail. The night of the event was wonderful. I was relaxed. The guests had such a wonderful time, the food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. The staff was welcoming to our guest. The waitstaff was friendly and attended to every detail of service with expertise and care.
We received phone calls the next day from some of our guests telling us what a wonderful time they had and what a wonderful night they enjoyed celebrating this milestone for our Mission. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! The night was truly beautiful!
Sincerely,
Rev. Kim Gambino, Executive Director

Had my wedding at the Swan Club this weekend!!! Everything was AMAZING. Their grounds, the food, the ceremony & Reception spaces were all Fabulous. Only one horrible thing MAITRE D SANDRA! She’s a horrible and nasty person! She yelled at my photographer then started yelling and being nasty to one of my bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids told her to take the fight elsewhere and she continued! I have never met such an unpleasant & RUDE woman in my life! She almost ruined my mood on my most Special Day. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL!
Make sure you don’t have her as your Maitre D… Get Joseph! He was awesome, sweet and in top of everything! Good luck!

This place is beautiful and so close to civilization… a.k.a the city. I attended this place for a wedding and it seemed like a huge place with different rooms for different types of parties. The views were beautiful with water fountains, flowers and plants. The food wasn’t that great and the drinks were okay. The service was very good and the DJ as well as the entertainer were great! I had a great time celebrating a friends wedding.

Had lunch here last Friday. Purchased a groupon for four. Greeting and service were excellent. General manager walked around the room and checked in with each table. We all ordered different fish entrees. A salad and cocktail were part of our lunch special. We were very pleased with the meal. Vegetables and potatoes were well prepared and presented beautifully.
Of course the setting and the gardens are quite beautiful. It was a perfect afternoon.

The restaurant is beautiful the outside it really really nice except the tables are two big, I went with 3 people and we sat at a table set for 10 we were spread out it was awkward. The inside was pretty old fashion didn’t really fit how pretty outside was. The food was good and the prices were good too! Seafood was really good, along with the deserts. not many appetizer options. Over all a good lunch place with friends!

From the moment we walked through the gardens on our initial tour, we had a feeling this was «the one.» It is a gorgeous venue with lots of greenery, flowers, water, and real live Swans! Perfect for outdoorsy nature lovers like the now husband and I. However, coming from a consulting background, of course I had to do my research and read all the reviews I could find ( Unilocal, Wedding Wire, Knot) before moving forward. After doing so, it seemed the few bad ones were really just people nitpicking at petty nuances/​nothing major and an anomaly rather than the norm so we decided to bite the bullet and book the venue – best decision ever!
We just had our wedding at Swan Club this past Sunday and it was perfection from beginning to end! Coordinating and planning with Swan Club was undoubtedly the most seamless and lease stressful part of the wedding planning process. Considering the horror stories I’ve heard, we were pleasantly surprised by this. No nickel & diming here – just accommodating & friendly people who genuinely want you to be happy, enjoy the process and enjoy your wedding day! For example, they were more than happy to not just substitute as we suggested but ADD extra vegan/​vegetarian items to the cocktail hour for my vegan /​vegetarian friends… no extra upcharge despite the menu tasting /​finalizing being only 3 months before the wedding after we paid most of it off and couldn’t back out even if they did decide to be a-​holes about it. Also, they upgraded our cake to the most delicious red velvet cake (from Dortoni Cream Puff Bakery – who provides the cake that is included in the package) free of charge!
Better yet, the food was absolutely amazing which was a big thing for us… being known as big foodies among our friends, we have a reputation to live up to and I’m so glad we did! Even my most brutally honest hard to please girlfriends came up to me just to rave about 1) how amazing the food was and how pleasantly surprised they were that catered/​wedding food could be THAT good and 2) how much food there was from the cocktail hour to the sit down dinner **VERY accommodating and great options for pescetarian (me), vegetarian (a handful of my relatives since we are Buddhist), and vegan (my maid of honor and her sister)**
We coordinated pretty much everything with Joe our maîtred who was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a throwback theme wedding and he accepted all our odd requests with a smile…(ex: scattering a variety of «old school» candy — airheads, haribo gummi bears, warheads, lemon heads, smarties, etc. — we bought on Amazon on every table for decoration in lieu of confetti)

Before I get started on my review, I’d like to make one thing clear. The lunch that they serve is completely different from what they serve during a wedding. Go for dessert and coffee to enjoy the spectacular view. Just get married here if you want guests walking out raving about the food. Just amazing food. Maybe different chefs during weddings?
Anyway.
We got married here this weekend and I have to give a shout out to our Maitre’D, JOSEPH. He has been nothong but AMAZING and FUN to work with since we met him and until we were finished with our wedding. Please, please, please look for him as soon as you sign with Swan Club. You will not regret it one bit. He’s a large part of our wonderful experience at this venue. It really does make a difference — trust me. I’m a really picky bride who is really stubborn and particular with certain things: T Joseph will take care of you without a doubt.
The garden in the back was what helped us seal the deal. The pictures were spectacular and our guests loved taking a stroll out there during cocktail hour with their food and drinks. The cocktail hour food was the best compared to other venues I’ve been to (I’ve been to many many venues for friends/​family weddings). YUM! How do I know that? Our awesome bridal attendant, EVA, was on top of us every single moment of the night making sure we were hydrated and not starving to death. Her services were just beyond our expectations. Thank you, Eva!
The waiters and waitresses danced with us and served our guests with spunk and politeness! I feel the need to mention that because I’ve been to venues where servers and waiters had nasty attitudes and expressed their annoyance to guests. Unacceptable.
I can’t wait until we celebrate our anniversaries here. It was an unforgettable night.

I can’t believe the Swan Club doesn’t have 5 stars! I got married here and I cannot say enough, the food, the grounds, the service, is something out of a fairytale. I literally cannot say enough about the Swan Club. Sandra was my event manager and she was amazing from beginning to end. On the day of she was by my side for everything and anything. I cannot believe how helpful she was as well as Emely. Just to give a few examples, we wanted to make our own little cigar bar, and Sandra suggested an amazing wine barrel that would add the right touch, drinks filled the entire night, made sure we ate, and lastly just made sure we were having the time of our life. We did! And I’m extremely grateful for everything the Swan Club did for us! Can’t wait to celebrate our anniversaries there!

[[[[[ AVOID THIS WEDDING FACTORY ]]]]
Worst place ever !!
Arrival: at the moment you arrive you don’t know where to go. Very funny entrance with very confusing cones & signs.
Driveway is full of cars different directions, I understand later it was a multiple parties going on.
The food & service:
Ohh god !! I can’t understand why this place still in business my husband try the fish horrendously nasty full of oil and pepper, no taste at all. My steak was the worst, I request MW 2 times I believe the waiter, busboy don’t understand a bit what I was saying.
What I notice is a guy with a suit mistreated a busboy. Screaming him and trying not to be seen by our table. What’s going on with this people? Who this guy think he is? Wearing a suit and earpiece device an FBI Agent? The poor kid almost cry and I tell him I will talk to someone there about it. I’m sorry I didn’t. after all my family was trying to enjoy this special day. I hope the people in charge do something about this low life guy with a suit JOE.
Premises: the gardens are spectacular gardens & water fountains all over. Pictures were great we thank god for a gorgeous sunny day. This is the best part and only of this place.
At Nigth leaving the swan club a kid with a dirty white shirt and smoking retrieve our car thank you to leave my car with that smell.!!
Worst experience ever !!
6÷23÷2015
Mr Bobby. S. I appreciate your time, effort and initiative to try to take care this situation. Obviously you weren’t present that day. Thank you for inviting me for a FREE LUNCH but that’s not going to take care the problem. I give away the free lunch to the parents of the kid & him too.
That way you can apologized to them, and for the blind way you protect a person who treat his staff like that.
My review stand up and stay the same way for all men’s, woman’s, and young kids working on restaurants, catering places, country clubs. Giving so many hours of hard work and sacrificing holidays and weekends for persons like you.
And unfortunately sometimes been mistreated by a person like joe/​Joseph whatever is his name.
I see your reviews here and I notice Joseph wrote a very interesting review about the place he works (swan club) that’s a very low way to promote your place.
Don’t spend more time trying to buy my Review I got enough. Thank you.

I did not come here for an event– came here for lunch on the weekdays.
Food is passable, the views were stunning! I would rate it a ⁵⁄₅ for the views and ³⁄₅ for the food.
The food was nothing special. It’s just very typical catered food. Except for the pasta dishes, all the other dishes consisted of generous potions of mashed potatoes and french beans. The Chicken Wellington I got was pretty good. The pastas were of generous portions.
Definitely go for a walk in the gardens after your meal. It’s amazing how perfectly manicured everything is! Didn’t see any swans, unfortunately :(

Just had my daughters communion party in the After Deck! Vanessa was awesome ! The food For the cocktail hour was delicious especially the the calamari salad !!
The service was great ! The grounds around
The are beautiful and we were able to take many pictures !! The kids fed the fish and swans !!!
I highly recommend swan club !!! So happy we chose this venue!

Had my wedding yesterday 4÷25÷2015, nothing short of perfection. Joseph really handled everything for my wife (funny to say it. Lol) and I. He answered every question and gave us some great ideas. Made last minute adjustments and request.
Eva did every single thing to ensure my wife was taken care of. Going in the bathroom with her and running around getting her flats. The way Eva interacted with my wife, everyone thought she was a friend or family member. Lol.
Heard nothing but great compliments about the cocktail hour experience. We were taking pics and getting our magazine photoshoot on, couldn’t get any food. lol.
At dinner I got to pick on the prime rib, it rocked. My wife had some of the salmon and enjoyed it.
Joseph handles everything with the vendors and didn’t need us for anything. Joseph and Eva really ensured we didn’t have any hiccups. The way the wedding flowed you would think they were our personal party planners.
YOU GUYS ROCK AND EVERYONE IS TAKING ABOUT #FOREVERMORTON15 @ the swan club. LOL.

This was my first runner up for my wedding venue. Very beautiful gardens, I could only imagine how amazing the wedding photos would be. I met with Patti, who was sweet and explained everything. At my first visit she offered us mimosas and a few cocktail hour items — delicious. I was ready to book on the spot. My only issue is that the rooms are too small for a wedding of my size. I would have had to use two separate rooms; Either seating half of my guests in the separate room, or using one room for dancing with all the tables in another. I just couldn’t see that working out well at all.
While I was still considering, I had a chance to come back for a food tasting. The dinner food is SO good here! It’s actually upsetting how much BETTER the food is here than at the venue I booked. The bathrooms could use a little updating but everyone I met was super friendly, there would have been no hesitation if only they had a big enough space for my wedding.

I was in the bridal party for a wedding here last month, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The grounds were beautiful with lots of flowers in bloom, the food was delicious, and the staff made sure the event was special for everyone involved.
The bridal party got a decent suite — a little musty, but a fine space to hang out beforehand and safely leave our belongings — and we had a specific member of the staff assigned to take care of us. Our girl was fantastic. She made sure we always had a drink in hand, and when we weren’t sure whether the bride had her mimosa with her when she was taking separate photos, she just brought another one out. The groom and his party also had a member of staff following them around. When the groom said he really liked one of the appetizers during cocktail hour, their guy packed up a bunch and surprised him with a takeout box.
The Swan Club is definitely a wedding factory, hosting more than one wedding at a time, but we couldn’t see or hear any other ceremonies or receptions, and it was clear that they were wedding pros. One of my only complaints would be that my stuffed sole was a little boney, but I was too full from the cocktail hour spread to eat dinner, and all of the other food made up for it. Also, I don’t like that you have to use valet parking when the spaces are right next to the venue and it would be easier park yourself and go back to your car right away rather than wait in a line for a valet driver, but the line moved fast enough.
