WE LOVE THE EMPIRE CLUB!\r
\r
The service, food, ambiance can not be beat. People are still talking about it 7 weeks later! Many friends are looking to host events there too, even another wedding!\r
\r
The Empire Club is not a wedding factory, they pay special attention to every event they host. The Maitre D and my bridal attendant DON AND CHRIS go above and beyond. Every time the bride turned around Chris was there, she never had to look more than a few feet away. \r
\r
At the Empire Club YOU DO NOT NEED A WEDDING PLANNER, so save your money! Matter fact add that money to the tip you give them at the end of the night. \r

We had a five hour cocktail reception style wedding with open bar--best choice ever! The weather was a little iffy and the garden was set up for the outdoor affair, they laid carpeting for more security in the ground since it was damp but the event went off without a hitch! Bridal suite was gorgeous and comfortable...\r
\r
We used their preferred vendor, Heights Flower Shop, Ray the owner did everything perfectly. The food OMG the FOOD...there was soooo much of it. From Cocktail hour to Dinner. We had more than 20 selections! and the VIENESE...to die for! The Bartenders were amazing too. The older men guests at our wedding raved about it all...many kudos to you guys for serving amazing top shelf drinks! \r
\r
We did not have not one negative comment about the place and with nearly 200 people there you would expect a few. NOPE, everyone was given attention like if there were only 50 people there.\r
\r
I, the Bride, run professional fundraising events on the large scale and I can not beleive how perfect this place was! \r
\r
Thank you Arthur and Chris Yfantis! Your staff is amazing!\r
\r
a small note--we are very picky about kitchens and cleanlines etc. Not only did I walk through the kitchen to get to where my cake was being kept (baked by palermos bakery incl) prior to the event which was spotless. My groom and I walked through the kitchen to avoid the crowd right between cocktail hour and the reception when that kitchen WAS ROCKING AND IN FULL SWING, and it looked amazing! \r
