We had my daughters baby shower in the upstairs of the club. It was a gorgeous setting with the water view. It was a brunch and food was fabulous and the service could not have been better. The Manager was absolutely the best and made sure that everything was exactly the way that we had requested. Many of the out of town guests went down to the beautiful bar area after the shower for a few cocktails and were made to feel very welcomed and treated with the utmost respect. I would definitely recommend GIYC for any events.
Poor service, cold food, angry staff, and rude members. Need I say more. If you are thinking about having a wedding here just move on. If you are thinking about becomming a member here beware...they need membership money badly and will say whatever they need to to get you to join.
It's very frustrating to have a great experience spoiled over a petty dispute that most likely occurred because of a lack of communication. If I had to do it all over again I would have my wedding at the Dearborn Inn, which is a little less expensive and they include a honeymoon room for the night and also the champagne for toasting.
