Testimonials

Dear Newark Club Staff...

On the evening of our daughter’s wedding, we arrived at a facility that was home. Each member of the staff became an extension of our family and treated all of our guests with the highest level of courtesy and professionalism. I cannot begin to express my sincere appreciation for each of you, for what magic you worked to make this event the most spectacular event imagined, from the greeting at the door to the exquisite quality of the meal. To this day we continue to receive calls and notes commending the staff and the facility. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Tom

Dear Artie and Harry...

What can one say but “THANK YOU” for making Sarah and Jeff’s wedding a time of pure JOY.

The raves about the wedding keep coming in, from the beauty of The Newark Club itself, to the quality of the service. It’s just too bad we didn’t ask the Chef to take a bow, because everyone has been just amazed at the quality of the food at such a large gathering. Thank you for all the extras you included.

Service professionals like you are hard to find. Beginning with the planning and continuing with your flawless supervision of the evening. You helped to create a night to remember!

Sincerely,
Olivia and Richard

Hi, Artie...

It’s now one week since Gina & Chris’s wedding and everyone is still talking about it. I just had to write and thank you again for making this wedding turn out so perfectly!!!

Kudos to you and your entire staff! The chef and his staff are superb!! Everything on the menu was delicious, from cocktail hour to that scrumptious carrot cake and chocolate mousse. I can’t say enough about the wonderful service we received from the servers and bartenders. Everyone raved about their friendliness and courtesy. The room—Oh my God! It was so elegantly decorated and the view is to die for!!

And, last but not least, I must applaud you—you made the entire event run smoothly and accommodated our every wish!!!

All the best,
Diane

Dear Sir...

“Spectacular”! “Exquisite”! “Breathtaking”! “Elegant”! are just a few words which have been used by the guests attending the wedding reception of Lori and Joseph on March 11th. As the groom’s mother, I was also a guest and I wanted to express my very sincere thanks and kudos to you on a job expertly done. Everything was perfect. I cannot imagine anything more perfect.

You obviously have set the highest standards for yourselves and you live up to them.

Sincerely,
Carol

Dear Artie...

Thank you for making the Rehearsal Dinner for Scott and Denise a very special event. From the first time we met with you, it has been a pleasure working with you. Your attention to detail, the food, and atmosphere—what can we say? It was the perfect event!

The words “Thank You” cannot express our gratitude.

Sincerely,
The Parents of the Bride and Groom

You definitely made it a day we will never forget.

Artie. Artie, Artie – you are awesome !

Dear Artie, Our wedding day and all the months leading up to it were absolutely perfect. We don’t even think we could have dreamed up anything more elegant and beautiful than what we experienced at the Newark Club. Every table, every plate, every waiter .. you left nothing unturned. We will always remember what an amazing day we had and it never would have happened without you. We look foreward to seeing you soon and hope to be a guest at another Newark Club wedding in the future !

Thank you again!

General Manager, The Newark Club

With most cordial regards,

This note is provided as a way of acknowledge the truly extraordinary service and attention to detail showed by your Catering Manager (Artie Wassif) for an event that I conducted at your most beautiful Club. I am a Corporate Consultant, and my client is Horizon. Back on April 11th I facilitate a one day off-site for the Senior Leadership of the Human Resources Department. In all pre-event coordination, Artie was most supportive and professional. But, his real contribution and dedication was evidenced by his self0-less support and assistance on the 11th. Suffice it to say, he took great care of my client and my needs. There was nothing I could have asked for – more than what he did – total satisfaction! His demeanor, rapport and approach to my needs were most appreciated. Frequently, peoples are all too willing to tell when someone “screws up” – yet no so accommodative to share a “good news story.” We had a most productive day – and without this type of support that is difficult – Artie helped immensurable and I just wanted you to know what a great job he did in representing The Newark Club!.

Please convey to Artie my personal regards and appreciation for his most professional service and support.

Kindest regards,

Robert R. Begland Ph.D.

Dear Artie & Harry,

I just wanted to write you and let you know how happy we are with how the wedding turned out. All of our expectations were met, above and beyond what we had expected. Everything was beautiful down to every little detail. Your staff was professional and very attentive. Every time we needed someone, we didn’t have look far, someone was always there. Even the both of you were there for anything any of us needed. We couldn’t believe that when we were in the cocktail hour and mentioned to you how hunger we were that you two made us both a plate, or that you arranged for our cocktail hour to open early, in a matter of minutes because of the severe heat. This blew our minds! We just need to express to you that you have really made our dream come true with this wedding. We are happy you were there to plan our wedding with us every step of the way and share the day with us down to the last second of the night. You were there to walk us through the entire evening, from the father-daughter dance, to the cutting of the cake, & the throwing of the bouquet. You gave us the gift of truly being able to sit back, relax, and enjoy our wedding. We really feel that we have formed a friendship with you and look forward to future events we can hold at The Newark Club. By the way, almost all of our guests have called in the past week and a half to tell us that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to!

Your new friends,

Nina & Steve Vera
