Quidnessett Country Club

Quidnessett Country Club is a gorgeous venue for a wedding. However, I was a little disappointed with the attentiveness of the wait staff to the head table, which was only my husband and myself. We had a tab for the head table, and I guess I just expected the staff to come over to check on us and get us drinks if we needed them or even just to refill our water glasses. I am not sure if the wait staff is at fault, or if this is something that the maitre'd was supposed to orchestrate etc. In any case, the guests loved the location and the view, as well as the outdoor gardens where we had our ceremony.

From the start I knew that Quidnessett was the perfect choice for our wedding. Lorraine and the sales team, were so knowledgeable and personable that we immediately felt comfortable. I loved the location, right on Narragansett Bay, overlooking a beautifully manicured course- absolutely perfect for pictures. The garden for the daytime ceremony was right out of a magazine- just so perfect! My advice would definitely be to use it if it's an option for you- it really added an additional element of beauty to the day. What I was really surprised by was how delicious the food was. We had the stuffed sole and filet mignon, and not only did I love it, every guest raved about it! ! The serving staff was friendly and accommodating. Definitely check Quidnessett out in person- their website does them no justice on how beautiful the country club is.

My Husband and I had choose Quidnessett CC for our reception due to the beautiful backdrop and very reasonable priced contracts. Before we decided on Quidnessett my Husband and I went to basically every venue in RI to find the perfect fit for us. Quidnessett did just that. Carroll was awesome at helping with whatever questions we had. I felt so comfortable knowing that everything would be perfect even the day when I had to leave everything there for them to set up. The food was delicious and the presentation of everything was amazing. We were very happy with the outcome of our wedding and would recommend Quidnessett CC to anyone.

Quidnessett was amazing! We were in the ballroom and loved the use of the large patio/veranda and the fantastic views. Our guests commented on the beautiful reception location and how well organized everything was on Quidnessett's part. The only glitch we ran into was when our bar bill hit a certain number my father had stated that he wanted the coordinator to check in with him, so he could determine how much more he wanted to allot to the bar expense. However, no one ever came to him when we hit the number he had in mind and for a short period guests began having to pay for their drinks. My dad spoke to the coordinator and the issue was quickly resolved. Overall, I would highly recommend Quidnessett. They clearly know what they are doing and offer a fabulous place to have a wedding at a reasonable price!

My husband and I were married at Quidnessett Country Club and regrettably had a VERY bad experience. The day was very hot and it was warmer inside than outside. I was a sweaty mess, my pictures were ruined. When the guests complained to the female asst on duty that Sunday, they were all told the unit brke and a tech was on it's way. I was also told this by Lorraine in the office days later that the unit broke. WHen I complained to George Wallace, the General Manager days later he totally lied and said he was there that day and it was fine!! He also said, "the day is over and there is nothing I can do." Oh really? I mailed him my pictures which shoe the bride and groom with beads of sweat rolling down their face, but he didn't care. I also sent him pictures of my male guests with their jackets off and sweating and he said..that was the style. They are NOT a stand-up facitlity and unfortuately I cannot re-do the day. I NOTICE THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FROM YEARS AGO. I am sorry I had my wedding their and paid good money for sticky tortolini.

My parents had their reception at QCC almost 31 years ago, their reputation says it all. Lorraine and Heather are available through email and phone for any questions you have. QCC takes care of every detail you could possibly need and they have a huge network of trusted vendors that they work with on a constant basis. Our wedding day went off with no hitches that myself or husband could see, we were taken care of like the king and queen we were supposed to be!

Our main ocntact was Heather. She was very informative and easy to work with. Quidnessett is a gorgeous facility. It is clean and kept up to date. They offer balconies with breathtaking views of the bay. Plenty of places to take pictures with a beautiful back drop. The staff was curtious and attentive. and the food was delicious!

The food at the Quidnessett was absolutely amazing. Everyone raved about how delicious the filet mignon and the lobster tail was... and it was! In my opinion, they do offer one of the best venues at a superb value. My waiter was absolutely wonderful. I wish I could remember his name!

Quidnesset Country Club is a beautiful spot with great photo areas. They are well known as one of the best wedding venues in RI and have a great reputation. The food is very good and the Antipasto Deluxe table all of my guests are telling me was amazing. Carole was extremely professional and very responsive to my every phone call. I am super impressed that she listened to my every single decorating request and did not miss a single thing that I wanted done to decorate the room. I do wish there was a little more of a personal touch from Quidnessett and a little more attention to making the bride feel special. I also wish more attention and help was around for me when I first arrived at my reception to take photos and during cocktail hour. When I needed someone's help they were not around. I also wanted more of my cocktail appetizers served to my bridal party and us while outside taking photos.

Overall, our experiences at Quidnessett were good. The Narragansett room was beautiful, the tables weren't too crowded, and the food lived up to it's reputation - delicious! The lady who was our contact during the night was also fantastic. She was there whenever we needed her to make sure the night went smoothly, which was very helpful. Some areas we weren't as amazed by were:

1. Sales staff - we never seemed to have a dedicated person, so we met with a different person everytime we went in. It would have been nice to feel like one person was assigned and focused to our wedding.
2. Menu - I thought it was odd that they push having only one dinner menu option so much. We wanted three choices, but settled for two.
3. Cocktail hour - Because we had to have the cocktail hour inside the reception room, a lot of people were out on the back porch enjoying the view during this time. We had asked in advance if the wait staff would pass food out there, and were told yes. My father (who paid for the reception) asked several times for the wait staff to go out to those people and they only went out once. The wait staff was also rude to my husband (the groom) during cocktail hour. When he tried to flag them down for some food, he was brushed off.

Gorgeous location, beautiful ballroom, beautiful greens, wonderful staff, delicious food. They were very accomadating, especially Heather & Ron. Our guests gave us endless compliments on everything. It was the perfect setting for our wedding! I would certainly recommend Quidnessett if you are looking for a beautiful venue! :o)

The staff at Quidnessett Country Club did a fabulous job in hosting our wedding reception. The waitstaff was very professional and the food was delicious! Quidnessett was also flexible in letting our guests in a little earlier than planned which was great since our ceremony was short and the weather wasn't that great.

The entire staff at Quidnessett Country Club were fantastic. Heather and the rest of the staff were prompt in assisting with planning and answering questions. Everyone was accommodating, professional, and had a very personal touch.
Our wedding reception was awesome! The staff worked to make the night flawless. The room looked beautiful and the food was delicious. All of our guests commented on the beautiful view and how much they enjoyed their meal.
I would certainly recommend Quidnessett for a well-planned wedding!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND PEOPLE THAT HELPRD MAKE OUR DAY SPECIAL.

The Quidnessett was my daughters reception site. Heather and Loraine were wounderful to deal with. The only complaint/comment I have is;
it was discussed with Loraine and heather that we wanted dinner served from 7 to 8 pm. At 8:15 dinner still was not served. When I asked JoAnn (our coordinator) what was taking so long. I was told the other room needed to be served first. I think that if your going to run two receptions at the same time you should have enough staff to cover both. We shoud not have had to wait. Were were paying a live band for 4 hours of dance music and we lost and hour on the lateness of the meal. if your going to use the Quidnessett be ready for your meal to take longer than expected.

Nobody is ever available to take your call, and when you leave a message it takes them days to call you back. Yet,I decided on this place because the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. When we booked out reception we were told that the other room was being used for a corporate event, and since they had their own bathroom we wouldnt even notice they were there. I had specifically said I did not want another wedding at the same time, so I was happy the other room was being used for a different event. Turns out that Quidnessett LIED to us to get our business. The other room was being used for a wedding and what's worse, we had to WAIT for them to finish their pictures to take our pictures. Sharing the grounds was not easy, because wedding pictures are limited to certain areas and it was tough to have two weddings there at once. Whats worse, our wedding was in October, so we were running out of daylight.
Also, the weddings were not clearly marked, so their guests kept wandering into our room and vice versa. Although they had their own bathroom there was always a line for the bathroom we were supposed to have. The palce was chaotic.
The maitre d Joanne introduced herself to me at the beginning of the night, then disappeared for the duration of the wedding. She never checked in again.
The food took a very long time to come out, I was worried something had gone wrong and we wouldnt have food, but the maitre d was nowhere to be found so there was nobody to ask.
They did NOT put out all the favors, so only some people received them. Three (3) weeks AFTER the wedding, I got a call asking me to go pick up my box of favors.

Overall, the place is beautiful, but the service is TERRIBLE, the food is very good, but it comes out late and cold. For the high prices they charge, they should pay more attention to their guests' needs. If you're considering this for your wedding venue, keep looking.

We got married on the deck of the Bayview room. What gorgeous views! The food was fantastic (Stuffed Chicken with spinach and roasted red pepppers). All of the staff were pleasurable to work with and answered any questions we had.

I would recommend booking at least a year in advance (we wanted a saturday, and with only 9 months notice, had to do a morning wedding) They book up quickly for a reason!!

Overall, Quidnessett Country club was a great value. Beautiful views, excellent food, accommodating workers. I would highly reccommend them.

QCC was a great place for our ceremony and reception, overlooking the Naragansett Bay. Everything up to the day was perfect, and Lorraine was a joy to work with! The day of also proved to be a great day! We were promised our own waitstaff to take care of any drink and food needs day of. We were never given any hors d'erves, and it was very difficult to find anyone to get my husband and I drinks. Other than that, I have no complaints about QCC

Quidnessett was great! They have the wedding process down and are accommodating as well as professional. Loved the process and working with them. It was also a gorgeous location with perfect views.

Unfortunately we picked the hottest day of 2011 for our wedding! Our wedding was in the smaller room and 2 of the 3 air conditioners were broken. The larger room was ice cold and my guests were sweating. When I mentioned this to our coordinator she lied to my face and told me it was only because I was moving around so much. Then a waiter told a guest the truth. No one danced because they were too hot. My father and My husbands 93 year old grandmother had to leave early due to the heat INSIDE THE VENUE and medical issues!! They charge $2 per person to allow a choice in menu in order to prepare more in the event someone forgets what they ordered. One guest did just that and the coordinator LITERALLY YELLED at the entire table and struck the table with her clip board in the middle of the reception insisting no one at that table had ordered the fish!! I completed a response form they sent to me after, along with a 2 page letter about the horrific experience we had, and was never even acknowledged. I didn't expect a refund but at least an apology for the unprofessional employee would have been appreciated!

What else can I say? QCC was absolutely amazing, from planning to executing to accomodating last minute changes. The views of Narragansett Bay were breathtaking as well. The food was incredible. I would recommend them without hesitation.

We booked this venue at the start of our two and a half year engagement with the promise that if the Military changed our plans we would be able to change our date or get our money back if needed. Well the military did cause us to have to change our plans and Quidnesset would not work with us. They refused to give us back our deposit until someone else booked the room even though we had agreed otherwise. When the room was finally booked they dragged their feet returning our deposit, making every excuse in the book as to why they couldn't. My husband finally got them to return it but only after a long drawn out fight.

If you know going in you will not have to cancel for any reason they go ahead with them because up until that point they were great, However if you are military and your plans may have to change, stay away.

Quidnessett was our reception site. We loved the atmosphere, the rooms and views are spectacular, and received a lot compliments from guests. The food overall was very good, and the staff extremely friendly. Normally the cost wold be reasonable, our wedding was smaller in guest count, and although no site fee, there was a minimum to spend on food that required us to order way more than what was needed. So it was pricey for our event, but that isn't there fault. Overall very happy with Quidnessett.

This was a beautiful place to meet the needs of a large wedding! Food was delicious, service staff extremely helpful...ice cream bar was delicious! One request I'd make is to meet numerous times with your personal wedding coordinator before the day or you could chance meeting lots of coordinators.

Quidnessett was the perfect setting for our wedding. The view was amazing, and our guests loved being able to go out onto the patio during the reception.
They were easy to work with, and answered all of our questions promptly. They were easy to work with and were very flexible.

GREAT FOOD, BEAUTIFUL VIEW, BEAUTIFUL VENUE, FRIENDLY WORKERS.

Quidnessett Country Club turned out to be the perfect place to hold our wedding reception. Working with the sales staff (especially Lorraine Kane)was great - they were extremely responsive and helpful in plannig our wedding (espeically since we were doing it from out of state). They really worked with us to accomodate our budget and requests, gave great suggestions for vendors and offered helpful advice when we asked for it. Our guests also had great comments about the the staff at the reception- how friendly and helpful everyone was. We also received a lot of feedback about how amazing the food was (espeically the appetizers!!).
In addition, the grounds at Quidnessett are beautiful, so we are able to get some amazing pictures. And they have a big dance floor in the ballroom (which is always a plus :)

Beautiful grounds, great food! Everyone loved it!

I loved my reception at the Quidnessett. I worked with Heather during the planning process, and she was wonderful. They were so flexible with all my requests, and she patiently answered all my hundreds of questions. The food was delicious and the room looked beautiful. She worked to give us the wedding that we were looking for, even if we wanted something differently than was listed or offered. We chose the Bayview Room, and my wedding of 120 fit perfectly. My guests loved the food and the chocolate fountain was also great! They handled everything wonderfully. I can't rave about them enough. Definitely recommend!!

Our coordinator was Liane. She was who we met when we booked it (2 years in advance), who we worked with the whole time & who was our day of coordinator. She was on top of everything - no detail too small! She was seriously a dream to work with and I have nothing but amazing praise for her. As far as food goes, everything was absolutely delicious. People were telling us they were so full by the time the pasta came � always a good sign! They even made me a special �bride�s dish� that I LOVED. Everything was set up even better than I had imagined with all of my DIY masterpieces (haha)�I had made the centerpieces, menus, placecards, table numbers, guest book, card box, candy buffet & seeing it all come together so perfectly was such a relief!

They were wonderful.. they handled my 300 person wedding (and all of my crazy details!) with incredible ease!

I really enjoyed our reception and the experience I had at QCC. Lianne was our coordinator and she was wonderful to work with. The only few issues I had were that my "day of" coordinator was someone I met the night before and there was a mix up with open bar. We had prepaid a certain amount but I don't think the bartenders were properly informed since very few people were given free drinks. Everyone paid and then QCC reimbursed us the money. I thought that it made it look to our guests like we didn't think to even offer a drink. Overall, though, the setting is beautiful and the food was great.

I am originally from New Jersey and my husband is from New England. While it is tradition to get married in the brides hometown/state, I decided to plan the wedding up in Rhode Island because my spouses family is very large (11 siblings and 43 nieces and nephews) and it was a bit much to ask all of them to make the journey south. It wasn't easy planning a wedding long distance. However, the staff at the country club was very helpful.
Quidnessett Country Club is absolutely beautiful! I had an afternoon wedding there on a beautiful sunny day. My guests loved the food and retreating for some fresh air on the outdoor deck that overlooked the bay. The facitlities are lovely and my guests made great use of them. One of my guests even said to me, " I travel all over the world for business and eat out at great restaurants. The food here was just as great as all those great restaruants." I was pleased to hear that from him and many others. Coming from NJ it was important to me that my guests ate and drank well....and they did! The dance floor nicely accomodated the 200+ guests that we had. All had a great time.
For anyone thinking about having a wedding here, I HIGHLY recommend it! The only kink we had was in food prices. There was a miscommunication in the beginning of our discussions in regard to the prices we would pay for the food. We found out that the menu was going to be revised and the prices most likely were going to increase. We originally thought we would be paying the 2008 prices since we booked the room in 2008 only to find out at the signing of the contract that we would be subject to the 2009 prices. We had a clause put into our contract that stated that we wouldn't have to spend more than $2 above the 2008 prices on the entree meals. To our pleasant surprise the club made the menu better and didn't increase the prices. This was a wonderful treat!

Overall, working with Lorraine K.(banquet sales), Heather P. (the business manager) and Leanne (the wedding coordinator) was a wonderful experience for us. I greatly appreciate their professionalism and help! We had just over 200 guests...a wonderful cocktail hour, full open bar, and filet mignon and salmon for our entrees. Our wedding coordinator took care of everything and left my fiance and I to enjoy the festivities without anything to worry about. She was awesome!!! I also am grateful for Alex who was our personal waiter throughout the entire reception. The quality of service was superior and the price was quite reasonable. Thank you QCC!!

My biggest issue with QCC is that they do not offer open bar at a per/person cost. We chose to do a running tab but were concerned about the cost throughout the night.

They were very responsive and helpful throughout the entire night.

We had such a beautiful wedding day and Quidnessett was just as wonderful! I would recommend this venue to any bride! The food was very tasty and everything was professionally done! My guest raved about how beautiful Quidnessett. Thank you for helping to make our weddind day even more special!

Quidnessett CC is a spectacular place to hold your reception. The food was delicious and was served promptly. The wedding planners made our day smooth and rememberable. Quidnessett holds true elegance and beauty at an affordable price.

I was very happy with the service I received at the Quidnessett. It rained on our wedding day, so the only problem was I didn't have many places to take photos since I was in the Narragansett Room, the other room, has a great balcony to take photos on. Other than that, they were VERY organized.

Lorraine from Quidnessett is amazing. She was extremely helpful with all our questions and helped us fit Quidnessett into our budget. The day of the wedding we did not have to worry about anything. Everything went as planned and we even ended up getting money back at the end of the night because we didn't spend all of the anticipated amount. That just shows how honest they are!

Quidnessett was amazing. The staff is wonderful and our wedding day was everything we wanted and more.

The room was beautiful, the staff were amazing, the food was excellent and the wedding went off without a hitch. I am so glad that I made the choice to spend a little extra. The view from the room was amazing and the grounds were perfect for taking pictures. All of my guests raved about the place.

I can not say enough good things about QCC. My wedding was absolutely perfect. Planning with QCC was easy and the food and staff were excellent. I would highly recommend.

Quidnessett is a wonderful place to have a function. they were very attentative and always responded to any questions we had in a timley manner. Food was excellent and i can't imagine having my wedding reception at any other place!

AWESOME!!!!

i was 100% satisfied with their services. it was everything i expected it to be.

Love Quidnessett!! I have delivered several cakes there and actually attended a wedding there myself and they do a wonderful job. Very easy to work with.

fantastic views of narragansett bay make for super photographs..the staff is always pleasant and helpful as well...

Simply beautiful location for a great wedding!

Lorraine is the person to see to make your wedding dreams come true! I have done several different types of events at the Quidnessett Country Club and have had a great experience for my clients each and every time!!!

Beautiful hall, great food & services, wonderful area to have a wedding, Prom, or any other private function!

Great Place for a wedding or any event.

Outstanding staff and location. We enjoy working with them.
