“We want to exceed expectations.”

That statement from Tucker Burns, general manager of Engineers Country Club is exactly what guests will get when they book an event at the premier private country club.

Nestled among 210 acres in Roslyn Harbor on Long Island’s North Shore, Engineers Country Club’s origins date back to 1917. Currently enjoying a major renovation, which included the hiring of Master Chef Steven De Bruyn, the club is an ideal spot for a first-class party.

“When planning a party or event, we invite clients down to the club and show them the facility,” said Burns, noting that the club is a next level up from a catering facility and can accommodate custom requests.

“Rather than it being a package deal, we personalize our parties with every client, which makes it that much more special.”

The Engineers Country Club has played host to weddings (you can find them on The Knot and Wedding Wire), sweet sixteens, bar/bat mitzvahs, galas, fundraisers, golf events and business meetings. All of the catering is done on premises and the recent addition of Chef De Bruyn has been winning rave reviews.

to do better today than what I did yesterday,” added De Bruyn on his goals for the dining experience at Engineers Country Club. “I like to bring a little bit of the farm-to-table type feel to the club. Nothing over the top. Something we can still relate to, but with a nice little twist.”

With a brand new setting, delicious food and three qualified event planners who will handle the entire day for you, consider the Engineers Country Club for your next event or gathering.

Engineers Country Club is located at 55 Glenwood Rd., in Roslyn Harbor.
