    Amazing!!!

    Not only is Ipswich Country club such a beautiful venue between the golf course greenery and the building of the venue in itself but the people that work there are awesome! Specifically Melissa she was so amazing to work with so on top of everything. With my big wedding party she made sure everyone was in line for ceremony and reception. She managed the time so well we did not miss a beat that day. I could not have enjoyed my day more with out her taking all the stress off my shoulders. I can not say enough good things about her and Ipswich country club and I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding!

    Kimberly and John,
    What a day and what a crew you had supporting you both on this day. With a bumpy start to the wedding weekend on rehearsal night I know we can all laugh at it now, but to see you keep your cool was impeccable. I was so honored to be a part of your big day and that you chose Ipswich Country Club to host your family and friends at.
    All the best,
    Melissa and Ipswich Country Club

    Spectacular Venue

    My husband and I cannot say enough how amazing this venue was!! We highly recommend getting married here, you will not be disappointed! Our day was absolutely perfect and we had just the most amazing time. The wedding coordinator, Melissa, is the highlight of this venue. She really took control of the reception and kept the day running smoothly, all while making sure everyone was having a blast. Every tiny detail was accounted for and she made sure everything was perfect. My husband and I are still in awe that she fed us our drinks while we were taking pictures haha! We were just so pleased with how everything went and are so thankful for Melissa's help in making this day the day of our dreams!

    Anna and Joe,
    Thank you for choosing Ipswich Country Club to host your wedding at and we could not be luckier than with the two of you and a beautiful July Date (in Midst of all the rain). The added custom touches of your pup figurine eating the cake was so cute! We had a blast planning your wedding and executing it the day of. We wish you and Joe the best marriage can offer.
    Best,
    Melissa Nolet (And Ipswich Country Club Team)

    Beyond amazing

    I can't say enough amazing things about working with Melissa and Ipswich Country Club. Our wedding was twice rescheduled due to COVID, and was originally planned for an entirely different venue. We followed our gut, and moved everything to ICC and it was the best decision we could have made! Ipswich was so easy to work with, so helpful and finally made wedding planning fun again! Our wedding was the first done in the tent, and what I'm sure was extremely stressful, seemed seamless and easy to us. The food was outstanding, and our guests had a great time. I thank my lucky stars I got to work with Melissa, I could go on and on about how amazing she is. She is responsive, understanding, professional, and goes far above and beyond for every couple she works with. It was a night Tom and I will never forget! Thank you Melissa and Ipswich Country Club!

    Could not have asked for a better experience!

    My husband and I got married at the Ipswich Country Club in December and knew from our first visit to the property that it was the perfect place for us to celebrate our special day. We have so many positive things to say about our experience with the Club, but we have to start with Melissa Nolet, our wedding coordinator. Working with Melissa made our entire planning process and wedding day virtually stress free and actually enjoyable! Not only is she personable, responsive, professional, helpful, intuitive and flexible, but she also recommended top quality vendors who came together to make our wedding day perfect.

    On our wedding day Melissa was right by my side and prepared to do anything needed to ensure that the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were happy and relaxed. She helped with every last detail from making sure my dad had his boutonniere on before he walked me down the aisle to bustling my dress to making sure I had my shawl, glass of water or lip gloss before I even knew I needed them! She is incredibly thoughtful and intuitive and I really cannot say enough about her. She is simply the best!

    Our guests are still ranting about the food, many saying it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. The staff was attentive and professional and the venue looked absolutely stunning. The Christmas decor was exactly what we pictured when we settled on a holiday wedding theme, and actually exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a beautiful location for your wedding where you will be taken care of from day one, the Ipswich Country Club is the place to be. We recommend having your wedding there without hesitation and wish you all the best in this exciting time in your lives!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Kristine and Alex,
    I do not know where to start with your wedding day and wedding process and you both were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I knew from the time we first that this process was going to be, not only new to both of you but fun and exciting! Even with some "hiccups" during the vendor picking process the end result was more than I could have imagined. Your personalities showed through and was the key to planning this dream December wedding. I mean who else gets to have their dog(Ruby) as their ring barer wearing a pink tutu, So CUTE!
    Wishing you bot the best on your marriage and can't wait to see more photos of the second ceremony in Greece.

    Amazing venue with GREAT service!

    I have to say through the whole journey of finding a venue and making sure it was going to be perfect for my wedding day, Ipswich Country Club was the best decision me and my husband decided on. Melissa was absolutely the best coordinator and I’m so glad I got to work with her. She did everything she could possibly do to make sure everything was done perfectly for my wedding day. She was on top of e-mails and phone calls, and most importantly took all the stress off our shoulders. She was AMAZING! I highly recommend anyone getting married to go tour because you will fall in love!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Aleah,
    The wedding was absolutely beautiful and all the small little touches that you both made, made your wedding so special. Congratulations to you and your fiance and I hope that 2020 brings you both more happiness.
    Best,
    Melissa and ICC Team

    Great, smooth experience!

    My wife and I had a fantastic experience planning our wedding with Melissa and the Ipswich Country Club. Melissa, the wedding coordinator, guided us flawlessly through this stressful process by laying out options, making helpful recommendations, and helping us stay organized. The country club itself was beautiful and there were many great places on the grounds for pictures. The food was delicious, the drinks were well-made, and the whole evening went very smoothly. We both highly recommend Ipswich Country Club to others!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Andrew and Angelika,
    Flawless Bride and groom! You both were absolutely adorable on your wedding day and so laid back and were really able to enjoy your big day. We are so glad that you were able to relax and trust the Ipswich Country Club Team to execute your big day.
    All the best in the future,
    Melissa and the ICC team

    Exceptional Venue, Service & Location!!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at Ipswich Country Club just about a month ago and all we can say is WOW! Not only did ICC exceed all our expectations, they went to lengths to make sure that our special day was incredibly special! We worked specifically with their on site coordinator Melissa Nolet, and make no mistake, she is amazing. From the very first inquiry to the final moments of our special night, Melissa was there every step of the way. Melissa was ALWAYS a true pleasure to work with and she worked diligently to help me and my husband's vision come to life! We used the word EXCEPTIONAL in our title as it really does reflect the service, food, cleanliness, communication and overall class of Ipswich Country Club. There is just too many good things to say, ICC really worked with us on the budget that we had set and made sure that we were able to fit every last idea into our amazing day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! FIVE STARS!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Ryann and AJ,
    WOW is the word that I use to describe your relationship and working with both of you. You were both so involved in the process and constantly were listening to each others options throughout the process. I hope that your marriage is full of WOW moments and we hope that you always remember ICC as the start of your WOW marriage!
    Best,
    Melissa Nolet & ICC Team

    Highly recommende

    We had our wedding this past August at the Ipswich Country Club and we are so glad that we chose them! One of the biggest selling points for us were the gorgeous flowers outside, right where the ceremony takes place. Melissa, the coordinator was amazing and walked us through every step of wedding planning making sure we were always on track in the planning process and the day of she helped ensure that everything went according to plan. We are so happy with our experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a venue on the north shore!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Nicole and Max,
    Thank you for your review and I have to say your photos were absolutely beautiful and they could be in a magazine. Also that ice sculpture was beyond anything I have seen and your guests were so enthusiastic. I hope you both enjoyed your honeymoon and looking forward to the future as a married couple.

    Amazing venue and staff!!!

    We are SO happy we chose Ipswich Country Club for our wedding!! We got married on August 10th, 2019 and had the most amazing day! The ceremony area is beautiful with all the flowers and the green in the background. Our guests continue to talk about how great cocktail hour was outside on the deck, including all the apps and drinks. The reception room had the perfect set up with the dance floor and bar easily accessible to all guests and everyone loved the food! But one of the best perks of this venue is having Melissa Nolet as the events director. She made sure everything that day was PERFECT. She is extremely organized and thoughtful, and she was such a big help throughout the entire process. We would recommend ICC to any couple!!!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Rachel and Justin,
    Thank you for trusting in me and the club to host your special day. I am so happy that everything worked out the way you wanted it to and could have such a special day. Also very lucky couple to get a rainbow at the end of their ceremony!
    Wishing you both the best in the future,
    Melissa & Ipswich Country Club Team

    Perfect Venue for our special day

    The Ipswich Country Club was the perfect place for us. Something that was important to us was feeling like the space was just ours. Luckily, they only do one event a night. The grounds of the country club are beautiful. There were so many places for us to have pictures taken.

    The event coordinator Melissa was beyond amazing. She was easy to work with and made sure to understand our vision early on. She kept in constant communication with us and answered all of our questions. I had done all of the flower arrangements and put the decorations together and was prepared to come early the day of my wedding to set everything up. The day before our wedding at the rehearsal dinner, Melissa assured me she had it all covered. I had to trust her and I am glad I did. Her setup was exactly what I wanted and more. Two other staff members (Andrea and Erica) were amazing the day of our wedding. They took such good care of our guests and our wedding party.

    We also did the rehearsal dinner there. The food at rehearsal dinner as well as at the reception was excellent. I might be biased, but it was the best wedding food I have ever

    I would highly recommend the Ipswich Country Club to anyone looking for a classic, elegant, private setting. From the staff to the venue, you will not go wrong!

    The best decision you will make for your wedding!

    Having our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club was the best decision we made. The beautiful grounds, awesome outdoor patio for cocktail hour, perfect hall space were all a given. The food at cocktail hour and dinner were delicious and all our guests were raving about it. BUT the best best part of having our wedding here was Melissa, our wedding coordinator. She went so incredibly above and beyond throughout the whole planning process to make our day perfect. From her excellent responsiveness, flexibility in meetings, and organization, we felt extremely comfortable that our wedding day was going to go smoothly, and it absolutely did because of her! She coordinated all of our vendors, made sure the timing was right so we wouldn't have to worry. On that day, she exceeded all expectations. She even helped carry my purse while we were taking pictures, individually brought my husband and I food and drinks, and the best was she cleaned up all the money that was thrown (Greek wedding!). She made us feel like we were her own family because of how importantly she treated our wedding day. Of course we noticed what an awesome job she did, but even our family and friends were commenting how amazed they were about what she did for us that day. Words can't describe how grateful we are for all of her hard work and dedication!! We wish we could replay that day all over again... thank you!!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Alexandra,
    You said exactly what I strive for with each of my couples. I want you to feel like family, as I know this day can be overwhelming and stressful and cost a lot, you want it all to go perfectly. If you feel like family you know you will be taken care of throughout the process and that we care just as much as you do about your big day. I do wish you both the very best of married life and hope to get the chance to work again together soon!
    Yours truly,
    Melissa And Ipswich Country Club Team

    Amazing experience

    I can not say enough good things about Melissa and all the staff at the Ipswich Country Club. We were worried bc we had to have an egg free wedding due to a severe allergy in our wedding party and they pulled it off flawlessly. Any small bump Melissa was four steps ahead of it. I had no idea what I was doing when it came to wedding planning and Melissa was there to guide me through it. Our day was so special and we can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us!

    We definitely would recommend them for your wedding, we had so much fun!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Alli and Mark,
    Thank you for choosing to host your wedding with us and trusting that we could take care of the egg allergy as well. I have seen a few of your photos and they turned out beautiful. What a beautiful day you both got.
    Wishing you both the Best,
    Melissa

    5 stars!!!

    My husband and I chose the Ipswich Country Club for our May 2019 wedding and it was the best decision we made throughout the whole planning process. The venue is beautiful, with a wonderful terrace off the reception room that can be used for cocktail hour, and outdoor space on the lawn for a ceremony. We ended up with perfect weather for the wedding and our guests were able to make good use of the terrace throughout the whole reception. All night my husband and I had guests coming up to us telling us what a great space it was and we couldn’t agree more.
    While the venue itself is enough reason to choose the Ipswich Country Club, the real draw to this place is Melissa, the Events Director there. After visiting three venues, my husband and I both said that the choice was easy because she left such a great first impression. She is so full of knowledge and advice about all of the aspects and logistics of wedding planning and was always willing to answer our questions about things that weren’t necessarily directly related to the venue. She was extremely responsive to our many emails and would go the extra mile to make sure that everything about our day was perfect. She even did some research on local places to do our rehearsal dinner and pulled out a steamer on the day of to take some bad wrinkles out of two of my bridesmaids dresses. She is super organized and just a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the Ipswich Country Club and Melissa for a wedding!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Amanda and Alex,
    From the day we started working together, to the day of your wedding and seeing your wedding photos (from John LoConte With 617 Weddings), you both had me speechless. The way the two of you worked together on all decisions through the planning process and herd what each other had to say was absolutely amazing to see. The love you have for each other is something special and the photo at the end of the aisle captured it all.

    I wish you both the very best with your marriage and so happy to hear everything went as you wished!
    Best,
    Melissa

    Perfect wedding!

    We were married at the Ipswich country club in May. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the moment we walked in we knew this was the venue we wanted to book. Melissa is the absolute best wedding coordinator you could ask for. Melissa helped us find our justice of the peace and after we booked our vendors she took care of the rest! The grounds are perfect for a wedding and they are maintained immaculately. We wanted to be married outside but knew that may not happen with New England weather and loved the indoor option for the ceremony as well (luckily we had nice weather and were able to have our ceremony outside). The deck for cocktail hour is perfect and we even had firepits at night so our guests were able to sit outside comfortably as well! We would recommend the Ipswich Country Club and Melissa to anyone looking for an all inclusive wedding

    Thank you for choosing Ipswich Country Club as your wedding venue, You had an absolutely perfect day and I wish you the best on your Marriage.

    Ipswich Country Club was a beautiful place to get married. The balcony was a huge plus. I can't say enough about the butternut squash raviolis!! Everyone complimented the food and the staff who were all so amazing and attentive. Melissa was amazing and open to whatever we wanted to do. She made sure we were taken care of before and throughout the whole wedding! The grounds were beautiful and the ballroom is great with floor to ceiling windows. I HIGHLY recommend getting married here, you won't regret it! I don't have one negative thing to say about it!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Colleen,
    Thank you for your kind words and you did have just stunning fall foliage for your wedding and that dress was just drop dead gorgeous. A special thanks to you for our beautiful arbor, our new couples are loving it and I get to remember your wedding every time I see it.
    All the best in married life!!

    Best day ever!

    Having our wedding reception at the Ipswich Country Club was the best decision we made. Everything was absolutely PERFECT, all with Melissa's help! My husband and I are from MA originally, but currently live in FL. As you can imagine, planning a wedding from afar can be quite stressful. Melissa helped put that stress at ease. She was super responsive (even on her days off!), and understood our overall vision. She was super easy to work with & you can tell that she's passionate about what she does. The food at our wedding was delicious, the clubhouse was clean & inviting, and the landscaping outdoors made for some beautiful fall photos. Melissa had all of our decor items placed exactly where we wanted them, and our tables looked amazing! The ballroom itself is a blank slate that can be turned into whatever you're envisioning. Highly recommend this venue!

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Maria and Juan,
    Planning a wedding from a different state is another challenge in itself and can add to the stress of a wedding all together. I am glad that the club and I could provide exactly what you were envisioning and could make the process as easy as possible. I still can see how beautiful the room looked with your gorgeous flowers and linens.
    Send some of that warm weather to me!

    Would highly recommend!

    We got married at Ipswich Country Club a couple of weeks ago, and we couldn’t be happier that we picked it as our venue! Everything on our wedding day was completely seamless and exceeded our expectations. We were so happy with the quality of service, and several of guests commented on how much they loved the food. Most importantly, we cannot begin to say enough positive things about Melissa, the Private Events Director. She took our overall experience with Ipswich to the next level - especially on our wedding day. She was constantly offering to get the two of us drinks and food throughout the evening, and she even bustled my dress which was so sweet! The whole planning process and the day of was stress-free thanks to her. She is reliable, experienced, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend having your wedding at Ipswich Country Club!

    Josh and I had our wedding at Ipswich Country Club on 8/11/18. We could not be happier that we chose this venue! The food was amazing, the scenery is perfect for photos and we absolutely loved the deck for the cocktail hour and access to fresh air throughout the night. Ipswich Country Club also has an awesome "backup plan" in case it rains, which is another reason we chose this venue. It did end up raining on our wedding day, but we had a beautiful ceremony upstairs in a separate room from where the reception took place.

    Melissa, the events director, is absolutely wonderful. Josh and I were a bit unique in that we did not have a lot of firm ideas or requests. Melissa helped guide us through this process and offered suggestions and recommendations without pressuring us into any decisions. She is response, professional, organized and very knowledgeable! She was very calm and reassuring when the forecast predicted rain. She was flexible and didn't mind us waiting until the day of to make a game time decision about an inside vs outside ceremony. Throughout the wedding night, she ensured that everything flowed as smoothly as possible. We didn't have to worry about anything! All in all, we had a wonderful night, and I would highly recommend Ipswich Country Club for a wedding or other special event.

    Rebecca and Josh,
    Even though we could not get outside for your ceremony you were both so easy going and understood that mother nature is something we could not compete with. Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day and that Honeymoon looked amazing!!!

    We had a fantastic experience at Ipswich Country Club! We toured many venues for our wedding ceremony and reception and ultimately chose ICC for the quality and value, as well as the attentiveness and professionalism of our coordinator, Melissa. Throughout the entire process I was happy with my decision. As a self proclaimed control freak, Melissa attended to every detail far better than I could have and was always accommodating and responsive. She remembers everyone's names and the details of your event, so you have the most personalized experience possible. If its important to you, she makes it important to her. And best of all, she does most of the work, so you can relax and enjoy your ceremony and guests. I'd highly recommend Melissa and ICC for any event. Our wedding was everything I hoped it would be.

    Ann and Michael,
    Your wedding started out small and turned into one big party and I am so happy I could help you along the process. The way you involved the kids in the ceremony and planning was such a sweet thing to see.

    Wish you both and the family the best,
    Melissa

    Our wedding was beautiful at the ICC. Everything was perfect from the weather to the decor to the guest and food! Melissa was a tremendous help with making sure everything went smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

    We had our wedding and reception at Ipswich CC May 19, 2018. If you want an event coordinator that will be there every step of the way and always available to you then look no further then Melissa Nolet. Melissa is very personable and applies her creativity and years of experience. She was very open minded to our requests and never tried to deter us from what we wanted. Chef Robert is an amazing chef and provides an extensive menu with something for everyone regardless of allergy or dietary restriction. The venue and staff are amazing from the beginning to the end everything flowed smoothly without any issue. My wife and I would recommend Ipswich CC to anyone whether its for a simple celebration or a lavish wedding.

    Ipswich Country Club was everything that we could have possibly imagined for our dream wedding spot. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, so when it came time to choose decorations for the ceremony, we didn't really need anything because of all of the beautiful flowers and greenery that were already there. The food was also outstanding. We were able to taste all of the menu items at a tasting before making our final selections and this was very difficult because of how delicious everything was. Also, the reception room is so stunning. Out of all of the venues that we looked at, this room stood out beyond compare. One bonus is that they use the chiavari chairs; some venues that we looked at charged extra for these or the chairs were so ugly that you had to pay extra money for chair covers - this was not the case with the ICC at all. The true shining star of the Ipswich Country Club is Melissa Nolet, the Private Events Director. We worked with Melissa for a year in the planning stages and over the course of that year she was absolutely incredible. Any question that we had, she had an answer for. The day of the actual wedding everything went off without a hitch. The tables were set up, place cards were put up - I didn't have to worry about anything. She also helped with my veil during photos (so sweet) and grabbed me a much-needed drink for my pre-wedding stress. She was there for me the entire time - these are just a few of thousands of examples of things that Melissa did for us that day. She is amazing and I honestly have no idea what I would have done without her.

    Ipswich Country Club's reply:

    Caroline and Mike,
    Thank you so much for your very kind words, it means the world to me. You both were an absolute pleasure to work with and a delight on the day of your wedding. You will forever be my Alpaca Bride and Groom.
    To the best of married life for you both,
    Melissa and the Ipswich Country Club Team
