    Fantastic Food Great Staff!

    Alex and her staff were a blessing in disguise while helping to plan my daughters wedding during Covid. Once I decided to go with Club 86 as our caterer, I had a million questions and Alex was extremely responsive, genuine and helpful with every single email I sent. She made me feel like “no worries, I got your back” while planning everything. As far as the day of, Alex and her staff went above and beyond to make sure all the guests were well taken care of. From start to finish they didn’t miss a beat. The food and the service were fantastic! Thank you for making our daughters wedding a day we won’t soon forget!

    Beyond our expectations

    I was having a horrible time during covid trying to find a venue for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Finally, someone mentioned The Geneva Country Club and put me in touch with Alex. I called Alex and they had an opening. The rest turned into a most memorable evening. Alex worked with me every step of the way and allowed me to add some of my own touches. After I decorated and and went to the rehearsal down the road, Alex and her staff added their own touches which left me in tears. The room looked amazing! Alex made sure we had the champagne I requested, and the food selection that she recommended was absolutely delicious. Everyone had a wonderful time and we all loved every minute of our night. A week later and I still have guests that are there raving about the country club. I would highly recommend the Geneva Country Club. They helped make wonderful memories for my family and friends.

    Perfect wedding day and reception!

    Club 86 was the perfect venue for our wedding. We were both living out of state at the time of our wedding planning and Alex at club 86 helped us coordinate the whole day and reception. It’s a beautiful, classy venue. The staff were all so respectful and on top of things. The food was great, all of our guests were impressed by the food! We had a great time at our reception and were thankful to have been able to have it at the club. (Side note. All of our planning was going on during the COVID pandemic and the restrictions were constantly changing. Alex at the club helped us navigate all the changes and was flexible about changes we needed to make as restrictions changed/lifted.) Thank you to everyone who was involved, we will always remember our wedding night and the party we had at the club!

    All around, fabulous venue

    We held our reception at Geneva Country Club in Geneva. The views for this venue are THE BEST on Seneca Lake. The reception food was great (we received many compliments) and it was served promptly and hot. The coordinators (Alex and Sarah) went above and beyond with assisting in decor and making sure every detail ran smoothly! They politely kept us informed throughout the night and took care of all the decor after we left. I would 100% recommend this venue and staff!

    Amazing Wedding Day Despite COVID

    My husband and I absolutely loved this venue (Geneva Country Club) to be able to have our wedding ceremony and reception initially for June 2020. However with COVID, we had to change our plans around. Alex & Sarah was extremely helpful in trying to make sure we got exactly what we wanted in a post-COVID world without endangering the health and safety of our guests and their staff . Our day was amazing and we had absolutely no complaints, all positive comments from our guests in regards to how the reception was regardless of COVID. I highly recommend this place, the view alone is worth it and you have amazing staff to make it your special day!

    Perfect wedding venue!

    My wife and I happened to find this place on wedding wire and after we visited we already knew it was where we were going to get married. This family business has been around for decades and they were excellent to deal with. The staff were great and accommodating, Alex was fantastic to work with, and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place any time someone asks!

    Exceeded our expectations for our perfect day!

    I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! The Club out did themselves for my big day and were extremely accommodating. I highly recommend The Club 86! Being from Geneva, I have been to many events located there throughout the years and they NEVER disappoint! My Husband works in the industry and the Club went above and beyond, even to exceed his expectations! They did an awesome job and our guests are still raving about our wedding, the food, cake and ofcourse the party! We highly recommend the Club!

    Amazing, amazing, amazing!

    I truly cannot put into words what the staff at Club 86 has done for us. Right from the very beginning with Bill, through the planning and communication with Alex, and the physical details with Terry. They are simply THE BEST to work with and their staff are amazing and all so HARD WORKING. Our wedding was the best night of our lives and it truly could not have been that way without them. The food was also amazing as always! Just when I started to think there were still details left unsaid- Alex sent me an very detailed email about EVERYTHING that we spoke about over the last 5 months letting me know that we pretty much covered everything and Terry swept right in with everything making it look like I knew exactly what I was doing all night. They truly have event planning and hosting DOWN TO A "T". I will always, always, always be thankful for them and will never miss the opportunity to recommend them for the rest of my life. I honestly felt like they were my family by the end of the whole process. Love them all very much!

    Best value in the Finger Lakes

    The Geneva Country Club made it so easy to plan our wedding from a different state! They are wedding PROFESSIONALS and will make sure the day runs smoothly. It is truly the best value in the Finger Lakes. There are now 3 people in my family who have been married here because you simply can't beat the price and great staff. Did I mention the amazing view of the lake? Also, not only will they set everything up for you but they also box up all the decor at the end of the night. Look no further, great food, great view, great planning....GCC is your place!

    Best venue in Finger Lakes

    Got married here after looking at several venues. Was the more than we could have ever hoped for. The Legott’s years of experience are invaluable when planning a wedding. Best view in Upstate NY without a doubt!!

    We had our wedding here and we cannot recommend club 86 enough!! It is the most amazing venue! The food is absolutely to die for and the space is awesome with a cool history. We still get people telling us how amazing the food and venue were! Alex was amazing to work with while planning our wedding and was so quick to respond to my emails any time of day! Terri was great to work with the few days leading up to the wedding as well. They both made sure that the reception was absolutely perfect!

    My husband and I had our reception at this venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the venue, staff, and overall experience.

    To start, the venue is incredible! We had approximately 200 guests at our reception and the age range was huge. This venue had everything for everyone. There were quieter places for folks to sit and chat, the dance floor was large enough for those who wanted to dance, and overall there was tons of room for people to walk and mingle. Everything was spotless and had been recently renovated; it was just gorgeous!

    The staff were incredible. Everyone was genuinely nice and beyond helpful. Alex was the main person I worked with and she was extremely responsive to emails and was patient with my mother and I as we asked about a million questions. A couple of days before the wedding we were able to drop everything off for our centerpieces and other decorations. It was such a huge relief to be able to explain how we wanted things set up and to walk into the reception and to see what we wanted. For the set-up, I worked with Terry and she was incredible and so accommodating. Even more, she was kind and put my worries at ease. Finally, the waitstaff and bar tenders were incredible. I had a family member show up late and without saying a word, a huge plate of food was brought over to him. My husband was never empty handed because the waitstaff made sure there was always a beer in his hand. And for weeks after the reception my family made endless comments about how wonderful everyone was that worked there, by the end of the night I think they were adopted into our family.

    Overall, I could not ask for anything better. I sincerely felt like my husband and I had a reception fit for royalty. The food, the service, the drinks, and atmosphere were all exactly what we were looking for. It was because of Club 86 that our wedding is STILL talked about as the best wedding our guests had ever attended (our wedding was a year ago).

    Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at Club 86 in Geneva. (July 29, 2017) We were blown away by the overall experience. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of food, atmosphere and overall experience. They made us feel confident that we did not have to worry about a thing. The reception area was set up exactly as discussed. We had sole use of the club. Bill, Alex and Terry and the rest of the staff were amazing to our guests and us! From preparing a “platter” of food for a late arriving guest that had been delayed at the airport to retuning to the kitchen to prepare and serve a slice of beef medium rare that a guest had mentioned as a preference to in the buffet line. We couldn’t praise them enough!

    As a wedding venue we couldn’t fault anything. The food was out of this world and our guests commented on the quality of food and outstanding service they received. They started receiving our guests at 2:30 pm and the last of our guests left at 11:30 pm!! That’s right…A 9 hour reception of non-stop music and dancing. NOT once were we asked or made to feel as though we needed to leave. In the end, everything we had brought into the venue was neatly packed up and ready for pick up the next morning. The venue played a huge part in the success of our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding experience! Many of our guests stated it was their first time at the venue (Club 86) and commented, “It was the best wedding reception they had ever been to!” Thank you Club 86 for creating an unforgettable day!!!

    Club 86 catered our wedding and we were so happy with how everything turned out! We met with the owner prior to the wedding, and he gave us great suggestions for the menu and also talked through the details with us. Our wedding was on a family member's lawn, and they were very reassuring and professional in regards to making sure everything ran smoothly. The staff did an excellent job with setting everything up, clean up, and most importantly, the food was amazing!!! We received many compliments on how good the food was!

    Our wedding (May 2017) was at the GENEVA COUNTRY CLUB (GCC). We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue and the staff. From the beginning, they were extremely helpful in providing us information and guiding us as we planned our dream wedding. They always responded to calls/emails promptly and were very accommodating with all our requests.
    Our actual wedding day was amazing, even better than we could have imagined. Everything went so smoothly and the staff was extremely professional and helpful. The view of the lake from the patio, as well as inside, is breathtaking.
    We refer to the GCC as the hidden gem of the Finger Lakes. The view of the lake is incredible, the staff is outstanding, the food is great – and all of this at a reasonable cost.
    We had many compliments from our guests about the food and the venue overall — many actually told us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to.

    We recently had our wedding on New Year's Eve at Club 86 and I couldn't have been happier with the value we got for our money and the courtesy and flexibility of working everyone there. They truly helped make the day amazing! The guests couldn't say enough good things and everyone had a great time! I would absolutely recommend Club 86!

    Club 86 Bagels and Cakes made our wedding cake for our August 2016 wedding. The cake was so delicious and all of our guests loved it. Lori was great to work with and very helpful with designing our cake. We plan on stopping into the bakery every time we visit Geneva (we had a "destination" wedding so to say)

    Club 86 is very accommodating and professional. We made a few adjustments along the way which they took in stride. They were kind enough to come and survey the reception facility and give suggestions on food placement. The wait staff was nothing but professional and kind to our guests and myself. They went above and beyond our expectations, and their duties, to make sure our event ran smoothly. Clean up was excellent. Food was raved about. They allowed us to work within our budget to create a magical night. They listened to our wants and needs and came through with flying colors! Not only would I recommend Club 86, I can't wait for another event so I can use their services again!

    Our wedding reception took place at the Geneva Country Club in May. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Alex and Sarah accommodated all of our requests in a short amount of time. We were the first reception since they took over the planning portion of the country club and they weren't phased by the short time frame due to poor previous planning by the previous employee. They worked with our reception ideas from changing the seating arrangement to face the lake, allowed for outdoor lawn games, and kept our budget in mind with all of our planning. They allowed for an upbeat and positive experience by having an organic planning discussion and the reception was all that we hoped for and more! I have passed on to future brides looking for venues and will continue to do the same. -Emily and Ben

    Club 86 has proven itself to our very large family on a few occassions now. My brothers wedding was held there last October and just this weekend they catered my daughters wedding. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars... Everything they did was above and beyond for both events. Very professional, very flexible and very fun to work with! I highly recommend them. Our HS will be holding their Prom there this May. I can't think of any better venue! Great prices, amazing staff and delicious food.
