We could not have been happier with Bridge club and their incredible staff for our wedding. We used the second floor space for our ceremony and dinner for 25 guests and it was phenomenal. You already know that a venue from Ashley Christensen is going to have unbelievable food (many comments from guests about it being the best wedding food they've ever had) but the staff is what made the difference.Jessie was great to work with for the touring and booking of the space but we could not have been more impressed once Michelle took over as the event coordinator. Our wedding planner left a lot to be desired and Michelle essentially took over. We were so grateful for her constant communication, coordinating with vendors, making sure we got everything out of our package and managing every small detail in the days leading up to the event. We were also thoroughly impressed with the staff on the day of. They were so personable, engaging and professional with our guests.If you are doing a wedding, rehearsal dinner or reception in downtown Raleigh, Bridge Club is the way to go!

The Bridge Club was everything we could have ask for and more for our small wedding.We had a 40-person wedding and I knew as soon as I finished my tour that this venue was for us. Our wedding was small and intimate, and I honestly dreaded wedding planning. To be honest, I didn’t enjoy it at all. Booking Bridge Club was definitely the best move I have made for my wedding! The venue itself is just beautiful by itself, so I didn’t feel the need to go overboard with the decor. There was so much character, warmth and class from the hardwood floors to the huge windows. We booked the second-floor venue, which had a kitchen area, which was not ideal, but honestly I didn’t even really pay attention to it the day of.Planning with Jessie and Michelle was a breeze! Michelle was SO helpful and patient when I kept sending her revision after revision of our seating arrangements and she was so open and accommodating to all of my ideas and frantic, last-minute thoughts. I left our phone calls in the weeks leading up to the wedding feeling instantly calmed and reassured.Since the food was included with the package, it was one less vendor to search for. Not to mention, the food was absolutely phenomenal!!! We went to their very first tasting event where we, along with all of the couples getting married there that season, got to sample most of the items on their wedding menu. It was a fun event and we got to bring my dad and my best friend along. Michelle was SUPER accommodating when it came time to make our selections! I think originally, we were supposed to select just one or two desserts that would be served as an individual serving, but we couldn’t narrow down since everything was just so delicious. We really loved the dessert-table style at the tasting, and even though it wasn’t offered on the menu, we were able to work with Michelle to make the dessert tasting table come true with a variety of smaller tartlets. We selected the fried chicken, grilled fish (which I was personally a hair skeptical about but it was SO so good!) After the tasting, we actually couldn’t stop raving about the passed hors d'oeuvres. The flavors and textures of everything, the ingenuity and richness of everything we had at dinner was unbelievable. Weeks later, our families were still raving about how good the food was. Michelle also helped select wine pairings that went really beautifully with our meal.On the day of our wedding, the third floor was available and the Bridge Club team set up a table, some chairs and some light refreshments for us to chill, collect ourselves and take a breath before the ceremony on the second floor. And when my husband and I left with the photographer to take photos when dinner started, the Bridge Club team set aside hot meals of all of the dishes and sides to bring to our table when we returned. Their hospitality, care and thoughtfulness during our rehearsal and wedding day was just so wonderful and we felt so well taken care of!We did have some tiny microphone issues when my husband was reading his vows, but given that neither myself nor my officiant (nor anyone else giving speeches the rest of the night) had issues, I’m chalking that one up to user error. That aside, Jessie, Michelle and the other lovely folks at Bridge Club made our day so special and wonderful and I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding such a wonderful experience!

The Bridge Club was the perfect choice for my daughter's rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Their communication before the event was great and their food was over the top good. But it was really the staff that made the night, especially Jackie and our bartender (sorry, I do not remember his name). I can't recommend this place enough.

I worked with Flowers for you from Goldsboro NC to do the flowers for a wedding at this venue, and I cannot stress how accommodating will was and how nice all of the staff was to us! It made an already stressful day a lot less stressful and easy going! We throughly enjoyed working with this venue!

Hosted a group of 20 guests and was very pleased with the experience. Food was enjoyed by all! A special round of recognition goes to our captain, Jackie S., and our bartender, Nick N., who went above and beyond the call of duty. Both were exceedingly professional, warm, friendly, and responsive to the entire group's needs. Fantastic customer service!

I knew from the start of my engagement that I wanted a small, intimate ceremony and reception. After reaching out to dozens of venues—most of whom were completely unresponsive or flat-out dismissive of my small budget—I came across Bridge Club. I'm so glad I did, because my wedding was everything I wanted and more. The loft-style space on the second floor was the perfect backdrop for my vision of a relaxed, elegant ceremony, and the family-style seated dinner was a massive hit with all of our guests! (People are still messaging me about how much they loved the food!) From start to finish, the team at Bridge Club made sure every single one of my needs was met. (They even made a special gluten- and dairy-free cake so I could join in on the celebrations, too!) I'm so grateful to Bridge Club for helping make my wedding day unforgettable.

I recently attended a wedding at Bridge Club, and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the food was outstanding, but the thing that impressed me the most was the staff. Every one of them was gracious, helpful, courteous, friendly while remaining unobtrusive, and very professional. I hope they all enjoy working there as much as we enjoyed having them work there!

We had my mom’s bday celebration at the Bridge club. From planning to execution, Casey and the staff at the club made everything so easy. All we had to do was show up. The food was great, the service was even better and we had a really good time. I highly recommend the Bridge club if you’re looking for an event space for a special occasion

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Bridge Club. From the start, Jessie was very helpful and so easy to work with. The room itself is beautiful and the food is AMAZING! We had the prosciutto w/ black truffle honey, lobster salad on crostini and ricotta w/ pepper jelly for apps. The salad seemed so simple - lettuce with grated parmesan, but we all can't stop talking about the salad! For mains, we had the pulled pork and short ribs with the mac and cheese, succotash, and mashed potatoes. Don't forget to have the bread service! And we had a chocolate pot de creme for dessert that was to die for. My guests are still talking about how good the meal was. The service was impeccable. Bridge Club should definitely be used for your events!

Jessie from The Bridge Club worked hard to ensure my reception had enough space and had all the details planned out we needed. She coordinated with my wedding planner on figuring out layout. Jessie helped us figure out our menu. The staff the day of were attentive and thorough making sure glasses didn't stay empty and rotating the food out. It was such a beautiful and pleasant experience for a busy day!My husband's father, who is a chef, said the food was some of the best food he has every had at a restaurant. We've gotten many compliments about the hors d'oeuvres and food. The cake was delicious! We had lots of options to choose from for the food and was given flexibility when we requested certain aspects for our reception. We highly recommend The Bridge Club!
