Engagement party success!

My fiancé and I had our engagement party at Ipanema and the night could not have gone better! Everything was amazing and everybody had a great time. A huge benefit of doing it at Ipanema was that the restaurant is already so beautifully designed we didn't spend anything extra on decor. There were so many cute spots already built-in for photos including the gorgeous bar area and the dinning booths which have a really fun sexy vibe. The food was obviously amazing thanks to the Head Chef Giancarlo but I also have to say every member of the staff really went above and beyond. We started with a private dinner for just our families and close friends in the private dining room in the back and then transitioned to a 60 person open bar party in the main dining area. From the waiters who served us dinner to all the bartenders, everybody was very attentive and really made us feel special. My mom felt especially taken care of and the staff really made her feel like a VIP which felt so worth it. We had two bartenders for the open bar portion and they served a limited cocktail menu which we had helped curate with the events manager ahead of time. The bartenders were super fast and efficient and absolutely no line or trouble getting a drink. The canapés were also super delicious and you can choose from an extensive menu. Cannot recommend doing an engagement or wedding party at Ipanema enough!

Amazing restaurant and staff!

My fiance and I had our engagement party at Ipanema. Victor and his staff were amazing! The restaurant was the perfect venue for our 60+ person party - everyone was had a great time and the food was really great. Ipanema took care of everything...I really didn't have to do much, which was great...they really took care of everything. We could not have asked for a better venue, food and ambiance for our event.
