Facilities and Capacity
This venue welcomes up to 300 guests for a couple’s big day. Traditional ballrooms feature high ceilings, unique up-lighting opportunities and a neutral color scheme.

Our experience with the Villa was phenomenal from start to finish. Shonda made sure that everything was perfect for my daughter and her husband and Veronica worked side by side with Shonda to bring my daughter’s vision alive. My family and friends are still talking about the our daughter’s wedding on 11/29/2020. Uptown Catering and the food that was served was everything. The cake and cocktail hour was superb.

Everything was perfect!
We had Veronica as our day of coordinator, and she was amazing. She made our day perfect! Everything was flawless. She and her team made sure myself and the groom were well taken care of all night. The food was amazing. We received nothing but compliments about the entire night (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). The venue was flexible in allowing us to use the tent and ballroom. Going through the logistics the day before was also very helpful to making sure everything was on point and that our vision came to light. I would definitely recommend this place.
