FRESH MEADOW COUNTRY CLUB

“THE PERFECT DAY HELD AT THE PERFECT PLACE”

5 Reasons to Say “I Do” at Fresh Meadow Country Club 1. A Timeless Setting Full of Charm Fresh Meadow Country Club offers an exclusive, private atmosphere that combines historic elegance with natural beauty. Our meticulously maintained grounds and classic clubhouse provide a perfect space for both grand celebrations and intimate gatherings. 2. Personalized Service and Seamless Planning From your first tour to your last dance, our experienced team is dedicated to making your wedding vision a reality. As a private club first and foremost, we limit the number of outside weddings we do every year, ensuring every couple, wedding party, and guest receives our full attention and our Hospitality reimagined program that our members experience every day. The night of your wedding, the club is closed, no dinners, no events, our full attention is on your wedding and only your wedding. 3. Culinary Excellence Second to None We are well known for our award-winning culinary program on the island. Everything we do is thoughtfully crafted and presented with an artisan approach. Menu tastings and flexible options ensure your reception reflects your personal style and tastes. From the moment they enter our “Wow Factor” cocktail hour, your guests will be talking about the exceptional food and overall experience long after the celebration ends. 4. Exceptional Guest Experience We offer valet parking, refined interiors, and thoughtful amenities that ensure your guests feel welcomed and cared for throughout the event. Our ballroom comfortably accommodates up to 275 guests while maintaining an intimate feel. 5. A Club with Heart and Heritage Unlike traditional catering venues, Fresh Meadow is a storied member club—our legacy adds meaning to your milestone. With roots in hospitality and tradition, we provide an atmosphere that’s both elevated and inviting, creating moments your family and friends will cherish. We are a hidden gem shared only by word of mouth. As a nonprofit business and private member club, Fresh Meadow Country Club cannot advertise, attend bridal expos, or promote through traditional marketing. Yet year after year, our wedding calendar fills with the most dynamic endorsement there is: word of mouth and personal recommendations from those who experience a wedding at Fresh Meadow Wedding, whether as a guest or a host. Couples choose Fresh Meadow because someone they know shared their unforgettable experience here. This quiet exclusivity is part of what makes a wedding at Fresh Meadow so special: it’s not just a venue you find; it’s one we invite you into.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the Cost of a Wedding at Fresh Meadow? Our cost is $325-$375 per person, inclusive. When Can I Schedule a Property Viewing? Viewings are available by appointment only. To schedule a tour, please contact (516) 482-7300. How Can I Reserve a Date and Event Space? A $5,000 non-refundable deposit will reserve your preferred date. If another client expresses interest in the same date, you will receive the first right of refusal to sign a contract and lock in your date. Should you decide not to proceed with signing, the date will be offered to the other party, and your deposit may be transferred to another available date. To fully secure your event date, a signed contract is required. Additionally, 50 percent of the estimated total cost is due 90 days prior to your event. What Is the Maximum Guest Capacity? Our venue very comfortably accommodates up to 250/275 guests; 300/325 is our maximum. Our minimum wedding guest count is 200 unless arranged otherwise with the General Manager, as certain times of the year and dates may offer some flexibility. When Is the Final Payment Due? Final payment is due ten (10) business days prior to your event. What Is the Guaranteed Guest Count? The guaranteed guest count is the number of attendees you expect at your event, as stated in the contract. If your numbers are higher than the guarantee in the contract, the updated number can be submitted via email no later than ten days prior to your event date. Your final invoice will be based on any additional charges related to an increased guest count, enhancements, or last-minute changes. That payment is due ten (10) business days prior to the event. Are Taxes and Gratuities Included in the Package Price? Taxes and gratuities are the only items not included in the package price. All other costs—such as service or admin fees and room charges—are covered, making our package fully inclusive. Is Valet Parking Included? Valet parking is complimentary for your event. Gratuities for valet staff are at the discretion of each guest parking their car.

Frequently Asked Questions How Much Time Is Allotted for a Wedding and Reception? We offer a half-hour ceremony, a one-hour cocktail reception, and a four-hour dinner reception. When Can Vendors Arrive to Set Up and Decorate? Vendors will receive our “Rules at a Glance” packet to ensure adherence to our standards. Fresh Meadow is a private member club, not a catering hall, and all guidelines must be followed. All vendors must provide certificates of liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance no later than two weeks prior to the event. For Saturday weddings, vendors may typically arrive Friday evening after 5 PM and again Saturday morning starting at 6 AM. All vehicles and equipment must be cleared from the terrace area by 8:30 PM on Saturday; no vehicles after 8:30 PM. Any equipment brought in and set up by vendors must be removed after the wedding is over. Can I Bring My Own Vendors, Such as Entertainment, Florists, or Photographers? Yes, you are welcome to use your preferred vendors, provided they can supply insurance documentation and references and are approved. We are also happy to offer a list of trusted vendors familiar with our venue and service expectations. We also have a relationship with Great Neck Inn, a mile away from the Club. What Is the Size of the Dance Floor? Our standard dance floor is 24’ x 24’. Alternative sizes are available depending on your guest count and room layout. Are Linen Choices Available? We provide a selection of black, white, and ivory linens, along with a wide variety of solid-colored linen napkins. Specialty linens may be arranged for an additional fee. What Size Are the Banquet Tables? We provide 72-inch round banquet tables (seating 10–12 guests), as well as smaller tables, rectangular tables (King’s tables) and 36-inch high and low cocktail tables. Can Guests Choose Between Entrées? For plated dinners, you may offer guests a Duet Plate or two entrée options. For weddings with 275–320 guests, a duet plate is included in the price. Additionally, we provide a vegetarian or chicken silent option the night of the event for those who prefer alternatives to the main selections.

Frequently Asked Questions Are Menu Tastings Available? Yes, menu tastings are available for contracted bookings and are held on Friday evenings before our member dinner service. Tastings are not offered on Saturdays or Sundays and are limited to six guests. The tasting includes three salads, four main plates, and a sample of passed mini desserts. Please note this is a tasting experience, not a full meal. Requests must be made at least 4-6 weeks in advance and are subject to availability. We recommend scheduling your tasting four to six weeks prior to your event. Is There a Ceremony Fee? The ceremony is held on our terrace with a beautiful view. There is no charge for the terrace. At times, couples have chosen to have their ceremony inside the ballroom. There is a set fee for this due to the work involved in breaking down the ceremony setup and preparing the ballroom for the reception. Are After-Parties Available? We can provide an after-party from 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM in our Living Room only. There is a $3,500 charge, which includes after-party food and an open bar. Music is not provided by the Club.

Basic gin and vodka martinis are included. Shots are permitted. Do You Offer Children’s Meals? Yes, we offer meals for children 12 years old and under. Are Vendor Meals Available? Vendor meals are provided at a separate cost. Most vendors require meals, which include a hot plated entrée and nonalcoholic beverages at a cost of $75 per vendor.

Food Food is one of the most memorable parts of any wedding celebration, and at Fresh Meadow, we treat it as a true expression of hospitality and craftsmanship, welcoming you and your guests into our home. Choosing Fresh Meadow Country Club means choosing an artisan approach in every detail, from the stringent procurement of the finest ingredients to the thoughtful preparation and presentation of everything we touch.

This ensures that every guest experiences food at its best, a true dining experience worthy of your perfect day. Let Fresh Meadow and our team elevate your wedding with cuisine that reflects care, quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence that has earned us our reputation.
