We Used Valenca for The Bridal Shower, rehearsal Dinner & they delivered food and deserts to our venue. not only was the food amazing, but the service was excellent! Our wedding guest loved the extra touch of Portuguese food at our cocktail hour, and their setup was a huge hit!

Valenca Restaurant was a great venue for my ceremony and reception on my wedding day 4/19/14. The food was spectacular and even now my guests are still raving about the quality of food and the professional service. Pedro made sure every detail that we wanted was exactly as we asked. The ice sculpture was magnificent. All of the servers and the bartender were nice and professional. The best food, best price, best service. The only thing that I would say is that the space is a little small so with the tables it does not leave much room for the dance floor. However, that did not stop my guests from packing the dance floor and enjoying the night away. I would recommend Valenca to friends, family, and everyone. Thank you guys!!

Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Helder Rosa

I cannot say enough good things about Carlos and the rest of the Valenca staff. At every step of the way Carlos made me feel as though he knew exactly what we wanted for our reception and how to get it for us. He definitely followed through with his word. The cocktail hour was excessively amazing; the food was exceptional; the dessert was oh so good (really, SO much goodness!). Claudio was our maitre'd and he was the most patient and sweetest guy ever!

We loved the food and the value that Valenca was giving us so much that we even had our rehearsal dinner at the restaurant. Carlos made sure that the food was different from what was to be served at our wedding and made sure all of our guests were well taken care of.

Wedding main course dinner

My daughter's wedding was this past Saturday and unfortunately not all went well. Let me start by saying the cocktail was amazing. Lots of variety and very tasty. The main course was not what we expected. We had had a food tasting prior to the event and it was amazing. The food was to be served the same way as we had tasted. We were so excited. It was not prepared or served as we expected. Some was bland and tasteless, missing sides or even cooked differently. Two different dish choices, filet mignon with shrimp or Chilean sea bass. Both served with mashed potatoes and veggies, both failed. Moving on to the service. Bride and groom were some of the last to be served. Table service wasn't complete before moving on to the next table. Only one waiter came to our tables to see if we needed anything. Even the venue wasn't prepared for our guests and I can go on but won't. What saddens me the most is we kinda feel lied to. We honored our part of the contract and don't feel they did. It used to be all about the customer, perhaps now, more about the money. Maybe there should've been more recent reviews for us to see. Things may have been different.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
