Get married here

Villa Borghese was a great choice for my wedding. Nicole made the planning process actually enjoyable! She was very professional and efficient. She asked us exactly what she needed to know and executed the wedding perfectly. She created a magical night for us.
Our ceremony was beautiful and tasteful. Nicole was very detail oriented and made sure we all went out in order with perfect timing. After the ceremony, there were hor’ devours (delicious) and our signature drinks in the bridal suite so my HUSBAND!! and I could get some reprieve before heading to the cocktail hour.
The reception went off without a hitch and the food was phenomenal. We had salad, gelato as a palate cleanser, dinner (chateaubriand, salmon, chicken,or veg lasagna), and, of course, wedding cake and cookies. We got rave reviews of the cuisine from some extremely picky people.
Such a fun night all around.

Excellent!

Joe and his team were amazing during our wedding process. We changed our venue to the Villa Borghese just two months before the wedding date and they were helpful every step of the way. The weeks leading up and the day itself could not have gone better and we have gotten a ton of complements about the food. We are truly appreciative for how smoothly everything went.

Perfect venue for a perfect day

The Villa was an amazing venue for our wedding. Everything from the service to the food to the decor was beautiful and perfect. Joe was incredibly patient and helpful making the day come together and answering all of our questions. The garden was the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and the Venetian room and Crystal room were gorgeous for cocktail hour and reception, and just the right size for our small wedding of 60 people. We were able to use the back lawn to take beautiful photos as well. I even had a bridal attendant to help me and that made the day go even more smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and all our guests complimented the venue extensively. Not to mention, it was so affordable for the value of what we received. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing venue!

My husband and I started wedding planning during the pandemic. Joe was amazing from the very beginning. He was so nice and made us feel welcomed. He did not pressure us into deciding which made us feel comfortable. He was with us every step of the way. Always updating us on the new CDC guidelines. I truly couldn’t have had a better experience overall from planning the wedding to the actual wedding day. EVERYONE who helped the day of the wedding made sure everything was taken care of. All my guests had nothing but nice things to say after the entire staff. The food was delicious & service was amazing. I’m so happy we picked Villa Borghese!

June 12th, 2021 Wedding

I cannot say enough about the Villa Borghese. I worked with Nicole, and she was so incredibly helpful, and so responsive and attentive to the hundreds of questions I had asked over the year and a half from booking to wedding. The food was absolutely amazing, and my guests were blown away. The day of staff were so attentive to me, especially when I was having panic moments before walking down the aisle offering support and reassurance. We absolutely loved our wedding here and definitely recommend it!

The absolute best

We looked at many venues, and this is the absolute best, for beauty, value, and how they treat brides, grooms, and family. They were the best vendor of our wedding.

December 2019 Wedding

We had a great experience working with Villa Borghese for our wedding. Very helpful and professional and always friendly. Bridal suites are newly remodeled and modern. Food was great. They have a wide variety of uplighting colors to really transform your reception room to fit any wedding color palette. The entire experience working with them was easy and enjoyable. Winter wedding packages are affordable and a great value.

Everyone needs to get married here !

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the villa Borghese. Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with and she was incredibly patient with all of my annoying questions. We had our ceremony in the outdoor garden area, cocktail hour on the patio & reception in the garden room.
The food was out of this world and my guests were AMAZED at all the different choices at cocktail hour. They even let us take a couple to go boxes of cocktail hour food home with us since we missed it taking pictures :)
If I had to go back to the beginning of wedding planing I would a million times over still choose the villa Borghese

Villa Borghese Wedding Review

Villa Borghese exceeded our expectations. Joe Porco and his staff were absolutely amazing in making this day memorable. The facility is beautiful and the food was fantastic and plentiful. Our guests raved about the facility and the food. Our daughter also had her ceremony outside at the Villa and they had it setup beautifully. The entire day went without a hitch and Joe and his staff are to be commended for that. We would highly recommend the Villa Borghese to anyone that is planning an event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
