Cefalo's is amazing!

I had the pleasure of having two major events at Cefalo’s, my wedding reception, and a milestone birthday party. I would do both again. Dean, Amy, and staff are amazing to work with. They’re professional, accommodating, friendly, and honest. When we were planning our wedding reception, we found we had some extra money we were willing to spend. We asked Dean for suggestions. He gave us examples of things he “could sell us”, but told us he thought our choices were perfect as they were, and that he wouldn’t add a thing. I think other venues would have been happy to just keep adding to the bill.
Cefalo’s atmosphere is unique, while being warm, inviting, and friendly. As for the food, one word – incredible. Pittsburgh has numerous five-star restaurants; they all pale in comparison. Guests from both events are still giving rave reviews. To be honest, I’m not sure if guests came to the birthday party to help celebrate, or did they come for the food?
Both events were flawless. There are absolutely no regrets. And there are absolutely no “coulda, woulda, shouldas”.
Dean, Amy, and the entire Cefalo’s staff - Thank you!

Couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Thank you to Lenny, Dean and the entire staff!!! It was a magical night. If you are looking for a unique venue with the "Best Wedding food you have EVER had" this is the place. Our guests are still raving about the food and the venue. I"m still receiving texts and emails raving about our wedding. I wish I could do it all over again and would not change a thing.

If you are looking to have your ceremony and reception in the same location look no further (or just reception). It's very reasonably priced for such quality, beauty and service. I could go on forever but just go take a look for yourself. You won't be dissapointed

Thanks again Len and Dean! You rocked it:)

Cefalo's was great. I had always wanted an outdoor wedding in a unique venue, but I changed my mind when I saw Cefalo's. It's a wonderful, unique facility and you don't have to worry about the rain! It's not your typical hotel ballroom. The lounge is grand yet comfortable. The dining room is classic and elegant.

Everyone raved about the food, too! It was delicious and the value is fantastic, unlike a lot of other places in the wedding industry that overcharge for poor quality.

The Cefalo family was great in listening to our wishes and helping us to achieve our vision and we had a perfect wedding.

Cefalos did such a wonderful job with our wedding reception! They were always timely, they have fabulous food, and their venue is amazing! Len and his office manager helped eased my anxiety when I messed up the seating arrangements and helped me fix the problem. Everybody loved the food and are still talking about it!

Cefalo's is a beautiful venue. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. I would recommend Cefalo's to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Just beware, they do not tray cookies. We had approx 180 dozen cookies that we had to tray and transport ourselves the day of the wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
