Wow! What a rehearsal dinner

Words cannot describe how amazing barbuzzo was for our rehearsal dinner, but I will do my best to describe it. Every individual who works there is a model of professionalism and sophistication and I could not recommend anything more highly. It was on par with what we received during our wedding day and I can’t speak highly enough of you all. Thank you again

Blown away by our wedding reception dinner experience

We scoured the internet to find a suitable, affordable, but upscale venue for our intimate wedding reception dinner and came across Barbuzzo in our search multiple times. Unsuspecting at first, we decided to go for it and coordinate with Kirsty, the event planner, to ensure our special day went smoothly. She was accommodating, helpful, and tended to all our needs and questions. The staff was friendly, and the decor was top notch. Come day of, we were blown away by the ambience, the food, the drinks, and the overall experience for both ourselves and the guests.

Perfect Venue!

Kirsty and the entire Barbuzzo team helped us create our dream wedding! The space is perfect for a cozy, intimate wedding, and it was exactly as we envisioned. We were able to host a beautiful wedding ceremony and a brunch reception with delicious food and a perfect ambience. Not only was Kirsty helpful and responsive as we planned the event, but during the wedding they helped us coordinate all the small details and made sure we had food and drinks. Most importantly, the food at Barbuzzo is unbelievably delicious--we got so many compliments on it and our guests left very full and happy!

Rehearsal Dinner at Barbuzzo

The food was excellent, servers and bartender were professional and friendly. Kirsti was flexible in letting us drop off flowers for the event ahead of their opening and set them all up on the tables which looked beautiful! The industrial rustic feel of Barbuzzo is simple but the quality of the food shines through and is definitely the star!

Barbuzzo’s is the perfect restaurant to have your special dinner. Kirsty and the staff are a 11 out of 10 !!! Phenomenal !!!

Barbuzzo’s hosted our rehearsal dinner for my son and now daughter in law’s wedding. It was fabulous. First off, Kirsty Palo was the perfect host/ manager for the event. From the beginning she put us first, answering all questions, providing expert advise and making us feel totally at home. Barbuzzo’s makes you feel like you are in a family members home, providing not only great food and drinks but comfort. That to us was priceless. Speaking of fees they are very reasonable. All felt we received more than our moneys worth.
Thank you Kirsty and staff at Barbuzzo.
(Try the meatballs !!!! They are amazing !!!!)
