    Amazing venue and amazing food!

    There are not enough words to say how appreciative we are of Ciara and the team at Venutis! From our first meeting with the coordinator at Venutis we knew that our wedding day was going to be perfect and well taken care of by the team. Everything from the decor to the food/cake and set-up was perfect, all we had to do was literally show up and party! All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Ciara was there every step of the way and answered allllllll of my questions. She is so kind, patient, accommodating and on top of things. I am so happy we chose Venutis for our special day and can't wait to eat at their restaurant!

    Above and Beyond!

    We had our wedding on April 30, 2022. Our event specialist was Ciara and she went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we envisioned and more. She is very responsive to the anxious bride I was at seemingly all hours of the day. She was flexible with my ideas and also had offered many great ideas of her own that we used. We weren’t sure who would be breaking down some of our DIY decor at the end of the night and she was over accommodating, finding someone on the team to help us. My husband and I said if we did our wedding all over again, we would no doubt choose Venuti’s again. We would recommend pictures by their beautiful entrance staircase and getting the pasta course instead of soup! Our cake was included in our package and was absolutely incredible and beautiful. Oh and there is ice cream included in your dinner course! The only regret from the day is not saying "yes" when our attentive waiters asked if we wanted a refill on our pasta dish! Just everything is 5 stars and would 100% recommend.

She listens to your vision for your special day and ensures it happens. She, and the team, go above and beyond to ensure your day goes smoothly. I was thoroughly pleased and didn't have to worry about a thing.

    Our Perfect Wedding!

    In a long search for the perfect venue, we finally found Venutis after visiting 11 other venues. Setting up an appointment was extremely quick and easily answered all starting questions. Our first meeting and tour was with Ciara.
    The second we opened the doors to the breathtaking grand staircase, I personally was sold. It was everything I envisioned and more. Ciara showed us around, luckily to our benefit they had it set up for a wedding so we were able to see what it would look like for us.
    From the second we signed the contract to the end of the wedding night Ciara, the owners and the entire wait staff went above and beyond. I couldn’t be more grateful how easy she made the process as well as how well she worked with all of my vendors.
    When we made an appointment for the food tasting, I was blown away. We ended up choosing the preset menu, which worked in our benefit to not have to keep track of who was ordering what. Ruby, made the most adorable menu cards that were identical to our invitations.
    We went with ordering appetizers, which were just scrumptious. Most places don’t offer nearly as great options. The entrees were incredibly divine. For dessert, we chose tiramisu as well as our wedding cake. Bonus, the wedding cake came with the contract of the venue from The Baking Institue, where Margo made my dream come true. Lastly, to end the night we offered Venuti’s late night snacks to our guests; venuti sliders, pizza and fries. This was such a great option for people to grab a quick snack before departing.
    Aside from an amazing reception we also had our ceremony in the Vita. This was just perfect for us, quiet, small just beautiful.
    My absolute favorite part of the evening was our first look. Ciara was able to coordinate my request on the staircase. It was such a magical heartwarming moment I will always remember. The privacy of walking down a grand staircase to your husband for that intimate moment was incredible.
    This venue was everything I’d dreamed of and then some. To Ciara and the entire staff at Venuti’s, thank you for helping create the perfect day. We will forever cherish the memories made that night.

    Truly excellent!

    I can’t recommend Venuti’s enough! Their food, service, venue—everything is excellent! It is very affordable but the highest quality! They truly care about making the guest experience the best it can be, and they are so easy to work with!

    April 2021 Wedding Reception

    We were glad we decided to have our wedding ceremony and reception at Venutis. We signed the agreement right before Covid started (2020) and of course during uncertain times, we were concerned and worried about our upcoming wedding day scheduled for April 2021. Venutis was very professional, understanding, accommodating, and addressed all of our concerns leading up to our wedding day. We did not hire a wedding planner and our wedding planning overall went pretty smooth. We received numerous compliments for the dinner that was served and everyone thought our wedding day was a success!

    Absolute 10/10 would recommend!

    Absolute 10/10 would recommend! The owner, Frank, and our coordinator, Karen, went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was an absolute success. Like most couples this year, our originally planned 2020 wedding was cancelled. The Venuti's team stepped in and saved both our Wedding Day and Rehearsal Dinner. The attention to detail, thoroughness, professionalism and level of fun they brought helped us to be able to take a deep breath and know that this time everything will work out. The venue itself was not only beautiful, but so clean. Truly, the utmost safety and cleanliness measures are in place throughout. The food was out of this world -- we opted for the 'Guest Choice' entrée option including a 12oz Filet Mignon, Chicken Franchese, and Orange Roughy. Guests loved having the ability to choose the entrée day of. We received nothing but compliments on the entire meal though -- you have to get the Ziti with Vodka Sauce too! I can't speak highly enough of our experience and everyone we encountered there. After all the stressors this year brought us, it was amazing to still be able to have the wedding of our dreams thanks to the Venuti's team! Will forever be grateful to you all for helping make our vision a reality! Thank YOU!

    Gorgeous Flawless Wedding Night

    Venutis was the perfect place to get married. It fit my theme and the decor was beyond amazing. The event planner Karen is an Angel! She made sure we had everything we needed and helped us out SO much. Especially during current times. The food was amazing. The service was top tier. They ensured we had everything we needed and even gave us stuff we forgot at the banquet by the end of night. You need to book Venutis. Your night will be perfect!

    My Fiance and I recently signed our contract with Venuti's Ristorante & Banquet Hall. We can't wait till our wedding in January 2020. Our person that we did all the communication with is Ciara. She responds to every email and really knows answers to all the questions. She showed us around and explained the process in detail. Ciara went through the menu with us and answered all the questions. We were both interested in this place from the beginning, and the food tasting just sealed the decision. The food that we tasted during our tasting was phenomenon, everything tasted great and our party loved it as well. Ciara is great and I would strongly recommend this place if you are interested in having an event here :)

    We are still organizing the wedding, but we just hired them as our venue. They offer almost everything in the package so I only need to take care of DJ, Photographer and Officiant practically.

    BTW, the place is beautiful

    Beyond amazing!!!

    Venuti’s is the absolute perfect venue for your dream wedding. My daughter got married there on Saturday night, and everything was amazing...from the atmosphere, to the service, to the phenomenal food. They did not miss a beat when making this day so special. The planning with Karen Dragel was easy as can be...as she is always there to accommodate. Our captain and servers and bartenders for the night, couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is beyond gorgeous, from the winding staircase (perfect for pictures), to the waterfall and beautiful Italian marble decor...and the gorgeous custom lighting in our room. It was breathtaking. Each course of the meal was beautifully plated and tasted beyond amazing. Definitely not your typical banquet food. We are very grateful for making my daughters wedding day the perfect fairy tale.

    Beautiful Venue

    My husband and I can not say enough great things about having our wedding ceremony and reception at Venuti’s. We had the pleasure to work with Karen. She was personable, prompt, friendly, and organized. She made the whole wedding process easy and made us feel better about everything that we may have been stressing about along the way. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing for large groups (180 guests!) and they even got it to lightly snow outside for us, turning it into a winter wonderland. Seriously, we got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how GREAT the food was. The linens and decorations that come with the venue are beautiful so we didn’t need to spend extra money on extra things such as centerpieces or chair coverings. The staff checked in with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything and help us stay on schedule and were kind and friendly. We would absolutely recommend having your wedding or any event at Venuti’s, they helped make our wedding day perfect and unforgettable.

    Right Out Of A Movie

    PERFECT, FLEXIBLE, PERFECT, ATTENTIVE.... just PERFECT!!! I lost my first venue, because they ended up selling the property, so the weekend after I found out I tried Venuti's. It looked expensive, so I was unsure but than after speaking with Ciara and letting her know what I was hoping for I signed on the dotted line. From that point on.. I had the VERY BEST experience. There were 50+ emails that were exchanged from the time I said yes and it never took longer than 24 hours to hear back. When I heard that they would leave the holiday decor just for my wedding, I was SO HAPPY!! I am a very visual person, so I think I visited the space more than a normal bride and I never had a bad experience. I can not express how AMAZING my experience was with Venuti's. The food, martini bar and champagne tower and dessert table..OMGosh.. I can't even say how many compliments there were and how DELICIOUS the food was. Venuti's work with the Baking Institute for the wedding cake and boy was it so good. We went with the white cake and Oreo mousse filling and chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse and it was heaven in my mouth. Compliments all night and after!!! Thanks to Ciara, Ruby and the banquets team, my dream wedding came true. Thank you, thank you!!!

    We are having our wedding reception at Venuti's this October. So far, they have been amazing to work with. They let us have 2 free tastings and they also helped us create our signature drink. We've been working mostly with Ciara. She has always been available to us when we need to ask a question or have special requests and she responds quickly. This place is so beautiful especially the lobby area, the food is delicious, and they are not very expensive compared to other venues in the area. If they keep up the good work, our wedding will be perfect!

    We had my daughter’s wedding on Saturday and Venuti’s provided the perfect venue! Karen was amazing from start to finish and made sure all our daughters dreams came true! Venuti’s took care of every detail my daughter was expecting, and there were many! From appetizers to dessert, the food was amazing! The staff was outstanding and the timing of everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend Venuti’s for a perfect wedding venue... it was beautiful!

    We just had our wedding at Venuti’s on October 28, 2017. Everything went absolutely perfectly! Our wedding consultant, Karen, was so helpful when we were deciding on our menu and decor. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the reception space was and how great the food was!! When I had a last minute freak out that I had not thought about having a menu printed, Venutis made sure they could accommodate my request! Drinks were never empty, our cake tasted great from their choice bakery, and the Sweet Room was amazing! My only regret is having the Martini Bar in the corner as most of my guests didn’t see it! Highly recommend Venutis to other couples! We can’t wait to celebrate our anniversaries in their restaurant!

    If you are planning a wedding don't think twice! Just go there and ask for Ciara Rivera.
    She's not only personable and professional but she genuinely cares about your event as if it was hers! She took care of my wedding and everything was spot on, on point and flawless! I couldn't thank her enough! Frank (the owner) is a very genuine and lovely person! He makes you feel at home! Not to mention about the food, excellent and fresh from Italy! I'm not joking. They have everything delivered from Italy and you can taste the difference! If I could I would get married again (with my lovely husband of course!) just to have an excuse to be treated like a princess again and to eat their lovely food! Thank you again! ❤️
