Beautiful Venue & Awesome Staff

As far as venues go, this was perfect. The decor is beautiful and classy and the food was amazing!! (We went to the restaurant attached to try the food before hand and it really sold us on choosing this venue) We had a Sunday wedding and were the only event being held there that day (restaurant is closed Sundays). We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at Il Villaggio and everything flowed nicely and was just smooth sailing the whole day.

Patrick at Il Villaggio was incredible! He was very kind, informative and accommodating when it came to planning and the day of the wedding. Any way he could help us, he did and he truly made the stress of finding a venue non existent. We are so grateful for his guidance and LOVED how everything turned out day of!

We had an amazing wedding day it was the absolute right choice to choose Il Villaggio.

This catering hall is by far one of the best places in the Tri-State area. From the moment you walk in the door you are not treated like a customer but like family. We ran into this venue by accident and asked for an appointment day of. The catering hall manager, Patrick, was very accommodating and saw us within our time frame. He didn't rush us, nor did he try to upcharge for everything. His all in price was cheaper than half the places we went to look at. Once we booked, any questions we had he answered immediately. Every time we made a payment he again treated us like family. The day of our wedding was amazing. Everyone raved about the food, the service and the overall vibe. Leo, the Matre'd and Nadia, the Bridal Attendant, were professional and very attentive. This is a must see place!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
