    Noviello wedding 3-3-23

    The best night of lives, was made better the palace. Kristen is very attentive not just day off but through the planning process. I can not express enough how happy I am with the day we had. Kristen I’m going to shout you out because the shot you gave me for nerves before walking into reception was great, although it was 3 shots in one I drank it all.
    The bar staff, servers, and everyone else in between were so amazing to have ease the stress. This the place to go, look no further for the best night/ day and any event of your life

    The Palace Center's reply:

    Hi Rebecca,
    It was my pleasure to have been able to be with you on your special day. You made such a beautiful bride. I wish you and Anthony nothing but the best life together.

    Such a great experience

    Kristen was so great to work with! She gave us so much information and whenever we had questions she was quick to answer them. My family is a family of drinkers so I communicated that with Kristen and she assured me they would be prepared and we had no issues about running out of alcohol the night of. Everything went smooth the day off and we had the perfect day.

    The Palace Center's reply:

    Hi Bianca,
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so grateful to have been able to work with you and Nick during your wedding planning process. I wish you both so much love and happiness in your marriage.
    Kristen
