eauty, elegance and a party for the ages. That’s what clients will get when they book an event at Engineers Country Club (ECC). The private country club located in Roslyn Harbor on Long Island’s historic Gold Coast has a storied history, so much so that many brides and grooms have decided to start their own tale beginning with their wedding. “Besides having the rich history of the PGA Championship and U.S. Amateur, Engineers Country Club has been completely renovated with a sleek transitional design pleasing the eyes of all,” said Tucker Burns, general manager of the club. “ECC has a large cocktail space and a ballroom to fit 300 people with a dance floor. Our extraordinary renowned Executive Chef Steven DeBruyn, along with our entire team of professionals, will be sure to wow our clienteles palates while delivering a memorable and world class event.” A destination for weddings, ECC makes it a point to customize packages and events for each couple so no two affairs are the same. As far at the newly renovated clubhouse goes, it’s taken two years, but is now a

state-of-the-art facility. “RXR purchased Engineers in the winter of 2017 and has invested more than $4 million dollars on the clubhouse, banquet space, kitchen, golf course, aquatics and tennis,” noted Burns. “Our newly updated ballroom offers an elite banquet space to accommodate all types of affairs. Personally, I’ve never seen Engineers look this fabulous and captivating.” When planning a menu, Burns says that Chef DeBruyn gives a realistic approach to cuisine while focusing on a fresh farm-to-table style. Guests can dine on Charmoula Shrimp atop fennel, arugula and orange salad with olive tapenade and marcona almonds or a smoked salmon and asparagus tartlet with goat cheese mousse and ribbon vegetables among other appetizer options. Entrées include filet mignon with grilled shrimp and choron sauce or French breast of chicken with herb crusted Atlantic cod, to name a few. All herbs are handpicked from the chef’s own onsite organic culinary garden. “When Chef Steven isn’t hard at work crafting delicious specialties, he keeps busy in the kitchen baking his own bread and gourmet desserts,” said Burns. ECC is not without it’s team of

event planners for parties and celebrations. According to Burns, ECC’s catering team of professionals are more party consultants than party planners. With their extensive experience, they can offer recommendations to whatever the client may need. “We welcome all clients to bring their own vendors providing they carry insurance and are up to our standards,” he said of the club’s guidelines for outside vendors.

“Since Engineers is now privately owned, you do not need to be a member of the club in order to host a private affair. Therefore, it really is a new spot on the radar and not your typical event space.” Aside from it’s beauty and prime location, Engineers Country Club ECC prides itself on playing a key role in their clientele’s life memories, all with the help of team of professionals who truly care about that special day.

Band Together

H.L. Gross shares the season’s hottest wedding band styles BY JENNIFER FAUCI

jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

ince 1910, H.L. Gross & Bro. Jewelers has been a leading purveyor of fine jewelry and diamonds, so they know what they’re talking about when it comes to select styles and trends. In their fifth generation, Brad Gross, who along with his brother Matt and their father Michael, are providing that same legendary quality, value and service to new customers that the brand has become so known for. So when current brides and grooms-tobe are choosing the eternal symbol of their love that will be showcased on their finger forever, what should they look for? “This season we’re seeing a lot of single prong set diamonds where a single prong is shared with each diamond on either side,” said Brad Gross. “Overall, this style showcases the shape of the actual diamonds and minimizes the metal seen from the top.” A popular trend that has transcended from costume jewelry to bridal jewelry is the ability to stack multiple rings. For this style, Gross says that multiple metals like rose gold, yellow gold, white gold and platinum are being used to achieve the look. “We are also seeing a lot of eternity rings—those are super popular—in different shapes like cushion, emerald, radiant cut and round, which is the most popular,” said Gross. “Colored gemstones have become popular in this style as well.” Years ago, matching a woman’s engagement ring and her wedding band was all about uniformity; making both rings flush and mimicking each other in design and style. Today,

Choose from a collection of beautiful diamond bands (above) or a stack of rainbow rings (below) from Tacori. Gross said that the desire to match is about 50/50 and that some women choose to contrast their rings so the engagement ring stands out. “Women who want matching styles are more often seen with Tacori or Verragio as those designers are very intricate in detail so a matching band tends to be the best option,” he said, noting that Henri Daussi is a popular choice as well. “I have also noticed a decline in women wearing their wedding band on their right hand and have instead turned to stacking rings more than ever.” When it comes to the groom, some men are being more vocal and particular with their style. Gross feels that since men in general tend to wear minimal jewelry, save for a watch or chain that they too want a chance to express themselves. So much so that H.L. Gross expanded their men’s wedding band showcase from one to four. “The popularity of all different types of metals and styles for guys to express themselves has

exploded,” said Gross, adding that the plain and polished band with a desired thickness is still a common option, but so much more is available. “We are selling alternate metals and seeing different materials anywhere from meteorite, wood and even dinosaur bone as well as different colored stones.” And for men who are rough with their hands but still want to don their ring, tungsten and alternative metals that are scratch proof is usually a solid bet. Furrer Jacot and Benchmark are traditional go-to designers for H.L. Gross customers. And while Gross says that platinum is still king, but a fair share of rose and yellow gold bands, even some with diamonds, have been making their way onto the hands of grooms. H.L. Gross & Bro. Jewelers are located at 840 Franklin Ave., Garden City. For more information, call 516-747-6666 or visit www.hlgross.com. Stop by for a Tacori trunk show on Nov. 23 and 24 or schedule an appointment to select your forever ring.
