Best Place To Have Your Wedding Reception At!

Dave and I fell in love with IL Palazzo for our wedding reception! This place was very convenient for our family and friends since the Church was only 10 minutes away!

If I could rate this place a 10/10, I would! Both Sal, the manager, and Nicole, the event coordinator, were extremely helpful in getting everything accomplished to make our reception beautiful and amazing. We had the reception in the upstairs ballroom; the dance floor was big and spacious, and they had the room decorated for Christmas too! Plus, the foods and desserts were out of this world! Since we had a December wedding, we wanted an ice sculpture, shaped into a wreath, and it was really beautiful. Also, the communication was always on point when it came to perfecting the details leading up to our special day. Our guests are STILL talking about how amazing and delicious the foods were almost 5 months later!

Fabulous wedding

My daughter had her wedding at Il Palazzo in October 2019 and it was wonderful. Sal was very helpful and made us feel comfortable. All of our guests raved about the food. Most thought that the cocktail food was the dinner! Sal's staff did a beautiful job with setting up the tables and were very attentive to our seating chart. Sal ws aware that we needed to stick to a budget and was very agreeable to accommodate us. Il Palazzo was "one-stop shopping" for my daughter's wedding. We got dressed in a room downstairs, had the ceremony in a room upstairs and then the reception was in the banquet hall. And everyone had a wonderful time which made us very happy.

Great Venue!!!

Amazing service! Sal is great and I adore the Nonna and Nonno who make their food. I was blown away of how much it reminded me of my own Nona’s cooking!

Booked for my wedding venue

I booked them for my June wedding. The place is lovely. I heard great reviews from others about the food and service. I ate at their pizzeria down stairs and it was lovely. I booked the party and it was so easy. I have severe allergies and they were very accommodating. I couldn't be happier! I can't wait for my wedding. The prices were also very reasonable. They did not try to overcharge me for stuff I did not want and did not need. There was no pressure.

Il Palazzo was incredible. They handled everything: linens, chair covers, wedding cake, nostalgic candy bar, etc. They were very accomodating and their entire staff was professional and pleasant. They were proactive and anticipated the needs that came up during the course of the evening. An absolute pleasure to work with!!!

Sal and his staff at Il Palazzo made my wedding reception great. Whenever i had a question over the past 6 months Sal was quick to answer his phone. The food was very good and they took into account food allergies and made some dishes lactose free. I'd recommend Il Palazzo to anyone in north New Jersey looking for a reception venue.
