We had a beautiful wedding at the Meadow Club. Management and staff are attentive and detail oriented. Any question I had was answered promptly and I was never left wondering about a plan b. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained and the management went over every detail about how they would make an indoor wedding for me (which they executed beautifully). All of my guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue is and the beautiful photo backdrop walls throughout the halls and bathrooms. We had over 200 people at the wedding reception and no one had to look for their waiter or wait long for drink refills. I love Zoli and his team at the Meadow Club. They are truly phenomenal.
