Southend Racquet & Health Club

We just had our wedding at South end Racquet club in mid September 2025 and it was a dream come true. The venue provided an incredible location for 150+ wedding guests and we never had to leave the premises. We held our ceremony there that had a perfect backdrop in front of the gazebo while all guests fit perfectly it white chairs! Following the ceremony, the cocktail hour was in the venue outdoor area next to waterfalls & indoor lobby. Providing plenty of space for people to drink and mingle. The lobby had a full bar and we even added a Photo Booth that was provided by Pixster. Tons of room in the lobby where we also had high tables and our gift basket/welcome book for guests to sign! Then came the reception in the large dance hall, still on the south end premises! Elegant event coordination provided the food and the best coordinator that worked along side the south end staff! They setup all the tables with white linens and it was breath taking…everything we wanted! Highly recommend South end for events, especially weddings!

I really appreciate the two reception staff members, whose names I unfortunately didn’t catch—they were exceptionally helpful, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in. However, I’ve consistently felt overlooked when trying to speak with the manager, Sam. Responses like, “I’m sorry, I don’t have time to attend to you right now. Just go online,” leave me feeling sidelined as a patron. It makes me wonder: if everything can be handled online, why not have an online pool, tennis court, or bar? The experience felt oddly impersonal and frankly “otherized.” That said, the vibe and atmosphere at the club are lovely—well-maintained, with a great energy. If management could match that care and attention in person, this place would be much closer to perfect.

Really liked the club when I joined 7 months ago and I mostly use the pool to swim. Lately it’s become murky and they don't seem to clean it. Mossy growths on the bottom and trash / cups plastic items on the bottom that I see each day and they never remove it. Not sure I will re-join after this year.

I’m so excited to join the club! Sam was such a pleasure to meet, he made the enrollment process easy and fast, he took me on a tour of the grounds and made sure I knew where everything was located which made me feel at home with the facility! Also I have to mention that the front desk girl (I didn’t get her name) was so sweet and welcoming. Beyond happy to call south end my new gym home.
