The best choice I made for my wedding

I couldn't be more thrilled with La Vera's exceptional service at my wedding reception at Standing Rock Farms. They were on the venue's preferred vendor list, and choosing them as our caterer was the best decision we made. The staff were incredibly attentive, making our day truly unforgettable. The food was phenomenal, with guests raving that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Working with Carl, the owner, was seamless; he was always available and communication was straightforward. If you're looking for a caterer in Cleveland, La Vera is hands down the best. I've already recommended them to friends with upcoming weddings.

Best venue

LaVera has been a staple in my family for weddings since my parents were married. It was only the right choice to continue the tradition. I knew they were people I could trust to do my wedding justice.

First, Sam was by our sides through our entire planning process. He was there when we had no idea where to start and helped guide my husband and I through our decisions. We truly could not have had our wedding without Sam. He was attentive to all our emails and calls and extremely responsive. I knew at any moment if I needed help I could reach out to him and he would be there. For the night of our wedding Sam and Anthony both checked in to me and my husband multiple times. They made sure we ate before our guests so we could do our greetings and also checked that the night was going as we planned. For this we are so grateful for. I truly could not have had a better person help me plan our wedding.

For the venue, LaVera was like a dream. The set up of our wedding was stunning. We had multiple guests coming up to us telling us how beautiful our reception was. I give all credit to LaVera for putting together a gorgeous hall. Also, the food at LaVera was amazing. My husband and I were actually able to eat our meals and everything came out hot and cooked perfectly. We did a plated style dinner with chicken picatta and a filet. This was served with red skin potatoes, green beans, a salad starter and family style cavatelli. We also did the italian grazing table and pastry table for dessert. We had an astounding number of guests compliment the food served and how timely it came it them. Everyone was so impressed by the double protein and how much food was plated to them at a wedding.

I could not recommend a place more than I do LaVera. At this point it feels as if though they are family. They truly are able to be trusted to make your wedding perfect.

Amazing food

AMAZING. Hands down the best wedding food of all time. Carl and Holly are the best to work with. These two and their team went above and beyond for us. Appetizers, main course, cake/dessert, late night food. Everything was top notch. Our guests raved all night about the food. This place is a home run hire for any couple looking for a wedding caterer. Not only amazing food, but great people to work with who will do everything they can for you.

Awesome food!!!

We just got married here, in the crystal room, on September 25!! Anthony was so easy to work with and made sure everything was set, even when we had a bunch of last minute changes. We picked this place for their food and value - you get so much bang for your buck!!! All of our guests raved about the food!! We had chicken Parmesan and the filet, and so much more came with it!!! The garlic mashed potatoes were my personal favorite. The dessert trays were also out of this world! Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding!

This place is absolutely amazing along with Stefani and Anthony. We had our reception in the crystal room. The pictures do not do any justice, it is more stunning in person. As soon as we stepped foot in for our tour we knew this was our place. Their food is amazing too, we had the filet and chicken marsala with the late night bites (included in their package) taco bar and pizza bar. There was so much other food, all delicious. And food was a big deal for us. They were very understanding with us doing our ceremony on a different day (personal reasons - the date was special to us). We had our ceremony in the Tuscan room. So elegant and classy. I highly recommend this venue for any event you pay host.

Wonderful Experience

As a Covid-19 bride, I had tons of questions and there were many last minute changes to our wedding as we tried to navigate the current guidelines. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff at La-Vera was to work with. Anthony Verdone is truly the right man for the job. He was easy-going, never flustered, and went out of his way to help my husband and I with everything - even turning on the lights and fountains so we could get a great photo outside after the wedding. The bartenders and servers were also great - very pleasant and professional - and everything went smoothly. I love that they are a family-run business and I will definitely be back for their catering. The food was great!

LaVera truly is family

Our wedding was held at LaVera Party Center in the Tuscan Room and everything was perfect! The room was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and more than anything, they treated everyone like family. Anthony was so easy to work with and very responsive to my many, many questions. If I ever need to plan a large event again, I will definitely host it at LaVera.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
