A day to remember

We had our wedding at Villa Bianca this past Saturday August 14, 2021. We came to Greta in the height of covid after we had to cancel our original wedding plans. Over this past year Greta has been here every step of the way to ensure we had nothing to worry about when it came to wedding planning. Our wedding was more than we could have ever expected, from the grounds, to the food, the staff. Everyone treated us like family. We are still reminiscing as our day was beyond every expectation we could have ever had. Thank you Greta and Team for giving us a beautiful wedding day to remember!

Thank You for a Night We will Remember Forever

We didn't realize it when we booked the venue, but Villa Bianca exceeded all of our expectations!! The halls, grounds, and estate house caught our attention from the moment we stepped onto the premises and we knew that this is the reception venue that my husband and I wanted to celebrate our wedding in. From the start Greta was amazing at answering all of our questions and helping my husband and I plan the wedding of our dreams. She made the wedding planning process a breeze and was very supportive until the day we finalized all of the details. I can't write this review without raving about our maitre'd Tina. If it was not for Tina during our reception, I don't think my husband and I would have been able to attempt to eat something that night. Tina made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night, set up the hall absolutely perfectly, and even made sure we followed our timeline. Although it rained nonstop on the day of our wedding, Greta, Tina, and the entire staff made sure we had a night we are sure to remember forever.

WOW.. Amazing Wedding Weekend

WOW... What an Amazing Wedding Weekend at the Villa Bianca ! ... JUST WOW ! It was so perfect! It deserves 10 stars .. Let me start with Greta she was amazing and was so understanding to help us plan my daughter's wedding over this past year .. and believe me it wasn't easy .. but Greta kept us calm especially me .. who is very detailed oriented .. and a perfectionist ... I have to say that everything was done Perfectly ... The night before the wedding the bride and the girls stayed at the Penthouse which was absolutely beautiful and the Groom and the guys stayed at the mansion .. they had so much fun and it was a perfect way to start the wedding weekend. On the day of the wedding everything went according to plan and all mostly based on recommendations from Villa Biana.. whether it was the flowers which were absolutely beautiful and done by Flowers by Danielle, the Limos provided by Villa Bianca were right on time and the drivers Gilbert and Eddie .. were both terrific , the DJ was Mike from Music in Motion and the reception was over the Top... We had it outside in the Pavilion ... and our guest thought that they were in Italy it was so beautiful ! The food was so delicious, during the cocktail hour all the Hors d'oeuvre selections were absolutely amazing, with the carving stations and the mash potato bar .. everything was perfect ! .... including the bartenders and the drink selections. Our Maître d' Tina was great and very attentive to all our needs and made sure all the little details to make the reception perfect were provided. The meal during the reception from the salad, appetizer and the main courses .. were all delicious and cooked perfectly ! The prime rib was cooked to order and all our guests can't stop raving about how delicious the food was. The wedding cake was a cannoli cake provided by Del Prete Italian Bakery it was so delicious and again perfectly done !. Even after the reception was over , we had an after party in the Mansion .. and again everything was perfect .. the Mansion was beautiful and a terrific way to end our day of celebrating the wedding ! Several of our guests stayed at the Villa Bianca and were very happy and impressed with the accommodations ... I can't stop saying how perfect everything was at the Villa Bianca... and highly recommend this venue ! Thank you Greta and the Villa Bianca staff for making my daughter's wedding a huge success ! Our guests kept telling us that it was the best wedding they ever attended!

Getting married during a pandemic is not something that a couple wants to do. Unfortunately that was our situation. Thank you to Greta for doing everything possible to make this day special. The ceremony was everything I dreamt of. Special thanks to the Maitre D’s for all of their hard work and dedication. They made sure I didn’t stress about anything and were available at every moment! Thank you 😊

Fabulous night

My husband and I had originally booked another venue for our wedding but were not happy with the our food during the tasting. We decided that we wanted to switch our location and chose the Villa Bianca. We booked this location 6 months before our wedding and they were so accommodating! They lowered their minimum headcount for the outdoor area as this was where wanted to have our reception held, which helped us save on costs! Greta was amazing to work with and was always so responsive and made sure our day was perfect. The food was phenomenal and the value was amazing. Their packages are fair priced, we got way more than we were going to get at our other venue for almost 1/2 the cost!

Pavilion wedding bliss!

If you’re looking for an outdoor venue we highly suggest Villa Bianca’a Pavillon. They were flexible with our unique requests and the staff was very detail-oriented. Have something specific and unique in mind? Just ask and they will work with you to the best of their ability! Dream wedding status for sure!

Amazing customer service

I sent an email on Sunday night and within an hour or so I received a call from Greta who was beyond helpful. She sensed my stress through the email and immediately called me. Her energy made me feel so good since I was having a bad day. She was kind, happy, professional and very accommodating. She called me the next day the way she said she would and replied to my emails almost instantly throughout the day. That’s what I call quality customer service. Thank you Greta!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
