Such an amazing experience!

Piazza Messina was everything we dreamed of and more! The venue itself is just beautiful then adding in all our decor for the reception just made it that much more. Kay the event coordinator was more than helpful with the whole process, and any last minute changes and setting up the decor. We also catered Russo’s and the food was phenomenal. We couldn’t be happier with how smoothly everything went. Thank you piazza Messina for everything!!

All around Amazing

We worked with Piazza for 3 wedding events this year and each and every one was so wonderful. The venue is gorgeous, the staff is so friendly and considerate, and each event went off without a hitch! They have a well oiled machine and could not have been easier to work with. Cannot thank the Russo’s team enough!

Gorgeous Venue

Piazza Messina is an absolutely gorgeous venue & we are so glad we chose to have our wedding there. It was stunning & everything turned out perfect. We had the pleasure of working with Kay. She was amazing especially with the covid guidelines & helping us reschedule the wedding after we had to postpone. The bridal cottage is absolutely adorable & my bridesmaids & I had a wonderful time getting ready there! Our guests raved about the food & service & just loved Piazza Messina! We couldn’t have asked for more! I’m sad it’s over :)

Flexibility During Covid Pandemic

Our Wedding was set for May 1st so when Covid happened and had to postpone Piazza did the best they could to work with us to find a new date. We choose our new date of August 16th and they even allowed us to hold a back up date in case anything with Covid would have forced us to postpone again, which was a huge relief. Owner Mark Russo even called us personally during all this to express his sympathy and make sure they were doing everything they could to help us during this stressful planning experience. Venue is beautiful, the cottage to get ready in is perfect size and food was great!

Fabulous Wedding

When our first venue had to cancel 3 weeks before the wedding due to Covid-19 restrictions, our caterer Russo's provided the perfect event space. Piazza Messina is beautiful. The outdoor bar area provided the perfect setting for cocktail hour and the grounds made for a stunning backdrop for pictures (both professional and casual.) We only had 100 guests, so we were able to spread out and enjoy plenty of room for tables, dancing, etc., yet we didn't feel that the space was too big for our size wedding. The staff was wonderful. Kay was so helpful. The dinner and desserts were delicious. Everything went off without a hitch. Russo's really saved the day and provided us with what should have been our first choice venue!

Above and beyond service!

I don't even know where to begin with my gratitude and praise for this venue. We have been working with Piazza Messina for over a year and have had nothing but a positive experience. I am planning our wedding from afar and they have made the process simple and fun. Due to COVID-19 we had to postpone our big celebration to 2021, but thanks to their generosity we were still able to get married at Piazza Messina on our original date with just our immediate family. They have been nothing but accommodating and flexible with us during this very difficult time. I can't wait for our celebration in 2021, and if I could I would have multiple events at this gorgeous venue!

We were lucky enough to be the very first event at this venue. We had an issue with our original venue, and switched to Piazza Messina with less than 100 days until our wedding. We mainly worked with Mark and Katie, but met all the Russo brothers throughout the planning process and everyone was wonderful.
Our wedding moved the venue's opening timeline up a week, but everything was completed on time and looked beautiful as promised.
Katie and Mark were very accommodating, and we met with them several times during the build to see how everything was going. They were responsive to our many emails and calls.
We received numerous compliments from guests on how great the food was (and it absolutely was delicious). No one had a clue it was the venue's very first event until we told them so. It may have been the first event at the venue, but the staff was very experienced and attentive. The whole evening flowed perfectly without us noticing a thing, and even the DJ commented on how impressed he was with the staff.
The value was also outstanding. We had everything we could have wanted for our wedding and more at a beautiful venue, packaged at a price lower than virtually all the other venues we looked at.

Pretty good!

I got married at piazza last year. I think the venue itself is absolutely beautiful, food was amazing, and guests really enjoyed themselves. I was supposed to have a day of coordinator from the venue but I later found out she was sick and wasn’t there that day (they didn’t tell me the day of) nobody decorated my cake, my mom had to quickly apply the florals herself before we came in. Lastly, we ordered a nacho bar but the venue never let us know it was ready and nobody had any, we had to spend extra $$$$ for it, and we were sad nobody knew about it. Overall, leading up to the wedding they were awesome- but the day off was a bit unorganized.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
