Auletto Caterers Reviews

I would highly recommend Aulettos for a wedding venue. The location is beautiful and the staff are so amazing. I really enjoyed working with Jim and the team took all the stress out of wedding planning. Not to mention, the food was amazing my guests could not stop talking about the food!!

If you are looking for the perfect venue for the wedding of your dreams,look no further. From the moment that we arrived for our appointment,we knew that we made choice. Jim and his staff were attentive,professional and made us feel welcome. I can honestly say that they made the entire process stress free and we had a beautiful,classy,epic wedding,that our guest are still raving about. Every detail was perfectly executed. The beautiful ceremony under the tent with the lake,the bridge,meticulously kept colorful gardens, the fountains that light up at night and change colors,the waterfall and bamboo along with the gorgeous peacocks on the property were the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. Our guest absolutely loved the cocktail hour in the wine cellar with different wines from around the world, complete with delicious horderves. Followed by the epic reception that took place in the gorgeous,spacious ballrooms that was beautifully decorated like something from a magazine. The food was delicious,the staff was phenomenal,I didn't have to lift a finger the entire night. I know that I am going to miss someone's name so I am going to just say thank you to Jim once again and everyone else who worked to make our, Dream Wedding Celebration possible!!!❤️

When searching for a venue for our intimate wedding, we wanted a place that had beautiful scenery, great food, attentive staff, and the ability to have the ceremony and reception in one place. Auletto’s ended up checking off all those boxes. From the beginning, Jim and Jamie Auletto were a joy to work with. Each meeting was productive and professional. They answered all our questions, explained the process, and reassured us that our day would be amazing; and it was! Our day of staff, especially Barb and Jamie, were just the best. Anything we needed was done, including holding and umbrella over my head in attempts to keep me dry. As for the food…delicious. So many of our guests have commented on not only the variety of items, but just how good everything was. Even our guests with dietary restrictions were pleasantly surprised with their options and ability to customize to their needs.
We are so very grateful to Jim and Jamie and all of Auletto’s staff for making our day, despite the rain, just perfect!

Our wedding at Aulettos was everything we could have imagined and more. We wanted a low key, smaller, and stress free wedding with quality food and good alcohol. Aulettos did all that and more. From working with us to the payment schedule, alcohol choices, autumn specials, and the actual help from the staff on the day of, it was literally the perfect day. I did NOT want a gaudy, flashy, ballroom wedding with over-the-top lights and gadgets. I wanted my wedding day to be about my husband and I’s love and celebrating that and that is exactly what Jim and his family gave us at Aulettos. I can not say one bad thing. Every single one of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been too. They treated us like family from day one. They even gave me a literal boat of the sauce with my steak for dinner because they remembered I loved it so much from the tasting. I wish I could give them 100 stars. I will be forever grateful.

My husband and I got engaged in 2019 and started shopping around for vendors around the beginning of 2020. We booked Aulettos in February 2020, as you know that means we had to work around the pandemic. As soon as we left the venue after meeting with Jim we knew this was the place. The outside and garden areas have so much natural beauty, and we were so excited to get pictures under the large cherry blossom tree. We were torn between a traditional venue and a winery and the cocktail hour in the wine cellar was very much on point with what we were looking for. Aulettos also had a smaller minimum than other venues we toured which was great because my husband and I don't have the largest families. I did a bunch of research and read tons of reviews and realized this was the place.

Fast forward to December 2020 and we were still in the place in NJ where no dancing was allowed and we decided to move our wedding to April 30th, 2022 instead. We wanted the party of our dreams and that's exactly what we got! Jim and Jamie were very responsive and understanding of our change in date and were there to answer any and all questions. When other brides were stressing about if their venues were going to be weird about changing dates or anything, I wasn't worried as we knew we were in good hands with them You can tell Jim is very passionate about weddings and he was so pleasant to work with!

We had our wedding this past April 30th and it was amazing! The weather was perfect and we just had the best time, it went too fast! We got tons of compliments on our venue, cocktail hour, dinner, and just wedding in general. We had so many people come up and give us compliments throughout the night. The cocktail hour seemed like it was a huge hit with our guests. We loved the idea of the outdoor area as well as the wine cellar for guests to mingle. We did the seated dinner and dessert cart and that was a hit as well as the cheesesteak send off. I just want to mention the one attendant Jamie, a woman with red hair and glasses was my angel during the night. She overheard me mentioning something with the cake wasn't right and came up to me and offered to fix it as well as helping my husband fix our neon sign that wasn't on the right setting. She was right there with a safety pin when the one sleeve of my dress came unhooked and just helped so many other times during the night. She was amazing and I just really wanted to mention how much we appreciated her help. The whole staff was very friendly and we appreciated our request for our signature drinks honoring our animals being accommodated. Everything went so smoothly I couldn't believe it.

Aulettos has been around for a long time and you can see why. They're friendly and passionate about what they do, I would choose them over and over again and definitely recommend them to other couples!

Attention to detail is amazing ,everyone raved about the Wine Cellar Highly recommended

Auletto’s makes certain your Wedding day is special and flows perfectly. They are very helpful and guide you throughout every step.

Beautiful venue and grounds for pics. People loved the wine cellar and food during cocktail hour. Staff were wonderful!

We had our wedding at Auletto Caterers in September 2021 and it was such a fantastic experience! Jim, Jaime, and all of the Aulettos' staff were so lovely and easy to work with. They stuck with us through two covid postponements and made the planning process so smooth every time. We had the Terrace side of the property and the space and gardens were so beautiful and natural without feeling overly manicured and fake. The wedding day went so smoothly too--thanks to the organization of Pat and the rest of the staff we didn't have to worry about any logistics and got to just enjoy the day. The food was excellent, both for cocktail hour and the actual dinner. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Auletto Caterers to any couple hoping for a lovely and smooth wedding day!

I was very nervous with Covid restrictions about having a reception at all. Auletto’s made me feel calm and confident every step of the way. I was asked every detail of what I wanted, and they made sure nothing was left out. When I arrived everything was set up perfectly and to my specifications. I am such a planner, that I actually had anxiety about not setting it up myself. However, Auletto’s took care of everything like they said they would, and executed my vision perfectly. My very Italian family would agree that the decor, food, drinks, snd service were extraordinary and exceeded our expectations. They worked with me every step of the way and ensured I got everything I wanted for a fair price. I wouldn’t change a thing and couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you Jim & Jamie for a perfect wedding night!

Everything was beautiful and they did a great job at setting up a safe space for our guests since Covid is a concern right now. They helped make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and that we got what we wanted for our special day. Great prices too for such a beautiful space.

Auletto’s caterers made our special day extremely amazing even during COVID! We followed the covid guidelines and still had an amazing time. The food was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly & very professional.

My husband and I loved our wedding at Aulettos. Without a wedding planner or wedding experience, I went in with a LOT of questions. Jim Auletto was so patient and helpful from the first day where we toured the ground. The food was unbelievably great, and our guests loved the cocktail hour in the wine cellar. The cost was very reasonable for all our accommodations, and I hope I can someday go to a wedding there as a guest!

My then fiance, now HUSBAND and I fell in love with Auletto Caterer's within the first 5 minutes of our first meeting. Jim and his entire team are so professional and flawlessly conducted our wedding into the dream that it was. They were there every step pf the way, guiding us, and answering any questions we had. We also had the opportunity to attend both the spring and fall bridal shows that were hosted by our venue. It was a great way to gather my bridemaids for them to see the venue as well. The food was so delicious and our open bar was the hub all night. I still have guests swooning over their Alfredo and their Seafood Newburg. We were taken care of from the moment we stepped in the parking lot, until we were driven away at the end of the night. I could not even picture having our wedding anywhere else. Thank you to the entire Auletto Team. -Kyle and Patsy 9/20/19

If you want an incredible event that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, have it at Aulettos. .Jim Auletto is a lovely man who is a pleasure to work with. He makes planning easy, All of his staff are professional, friendly, attentive to detail, and want you to be happy! We had our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party in the Terrace Room on Sat., Sept. 7,2019. The room has large windows with a lovely view of Almonesson Lake. The room was set up beautifully, a quiet elegance. Our guests raved on about the décor, but especially about how much they loved the food! Everyone had a fun time. Love and Thanks to Jim and all his wonderful staff for making our anniversary celebration so very special.!!!

Jim Auletto is such an amazing person!!!! He would work with you with whatever budget you have. Jim made the wedding planning much easier because a lot of things are already included in the packages offered. Food is great and everyone is just very helpful. We will forever be grateful for this man! He truly allowed us to achieve our dream wedding!

The grounds at Auletto's are simply stunning. There are so many photo ops! The wine cellar and cocktail hour are simply to die for! I would have been happy with just having all the appetizers moved upstairs for the reception! I would absolutely pick this venue again, but I have to be honest and say that the buffet food was "eh". It wasn't horrible, but the cocktail hour food was about 1,000 times better.
Whenever I called or emailed to ask questions, they were responsive. A few days after the ceremony, I noticed the frame on our ketubah was damaged. I reached out to the owner (Jim) and without hesitation, he explained what had happened and immediately took care of the bill to get it re-framed. Very professional!! The only thing that would have made this little "bump" better would have been if I had been informed of the scratches before leaving the venue for the night.

Where do I even begin? Auletto Caterers is the complete package, bar none. In a nutshell:

A is for Jim Auletto’s ALWAYS calm demeanor.

U is for his UNSURPASSED UNDERSTANDING of the importance of your upcoming event.

L is for the LOVE that I felt working with everyone at Auletto’s because they made me feel like family!

E is for the EXCELLENCE shown in all facets of my wedding day festivities.

T is for Jim being TRULY approachable with even the smallest concerns of mine, and believe me, there were many of them!

T is for the TOTAL TRUST in his expertise and unsurpassed knowledge of hosting celebratory life events.

O is for the incredibly OUTSTANDING experience that I had working with Auletto’s from beginning to end!

I think it’s natural to freak out the entire preparation of your wedding but in the end it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. Thank you Jim!

The venue itself is unique and beautiful. A natural elegance, not forced, which was something I was intentionally looking for. The owner, Jim, is incredible! He has decades of experience and it shows! They were accommodating throughout the entire process. The food was incredible. The staff went above and beyond by providing decor that seamlessly matched my DIY centerpieces. Although they had already had several Christmas events before my date, they took down their Christmas decorations just for me. I could go on and on, but Auletto Caterers repeatedly wowed me and I would recommend them to anyone.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Auletto's. They're family owned and are genuinely interested in making your event perfect. We had no issues with communication, they were upfront about every detail or extra we could have, and offered such a great price for everything that was included! Day of the staff and personal attendant were extremely helpful with anything and everything (including wrapping ribbon around my bouquet to toss!). The food was amazing (get the pumpkin ravioli, you won't regret it), they were on top of timelines, and were extremely attentive.

We held our vow renewal ceremony and reception here in September 2018 and it was fantastic! Jim and the staff were so helpful and accommodating! Auletto's was recommended to us after an awful experience with our original wedding venue when we signed with them again for our vow renewal, but I guess that bad experience was a blessing in disguise because we think Auletto's was better!! A family owned venue will treat new customers better than a commercially owned venue will treat returning customers! When we first met with Jim we told him our budget, what we were looking for, what we didn't need, etc. and he worked on customizing the menu to fit our needs and budget.

Even the guests who attended both our original wedding and our vow renewal said they felt overall the venue, staff and food was better at Auletto's! My sister and brother in-law said the beef tenderloin was the best they've ever had (I don't eat beef so I didn't try it)! We had a couple vegan guests too and Auletto's made sure they would have plenty to eat! The bridal attendants were very attentive and always willing to lend a helping hand when needed too. I truly have nothing negative to say! We just had a wonderful day and experience!

We were so pleased with everything that Aulettos had to offer. They were truly a pleasure to work with. Everyone was simply amazing. Our wedding day was incredible. Every one of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how beautiful everything was.

All I can say that if I could, I would give Auletto Caterers a million stars. This was the best venue that I could have ever imagined having my wedding. Jim and the entire staff were so accommodating from the 1st moment that we met until our wedding day. The venue was beautiful, the food and service was top natch! Auletto's is such a beautiful little hidden piece of heaven and has so many wonderful spots to take great photographs. I would highly recommend anyone that wants a beautiful venue , awesome , professional and accommodating staff and downright nice people, then Aulettos Caterers is the place to go. Jim Auletto, you are a diamond in the ruff and we can't thank you enough. Warmest Regards, Denise and Anthony

We had our wedding at Auletto's on October 13, 2017 and my husband and I cannot express how perfect it was. Jim (and his staff) were AMAZING to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Jim made the entire process feel so simple and customized everything to be exactly what we wanted. They have been hosting weddings and special events for decades and their years of experience truly shows. Our wedding day was beautiful and our guests are still raving about how great the food was, how beautiful the venue was and how perfectly orchestrated the entire day was. We cannot thank Auletto's enough for making our wedding day (and the year prior of planning) seamless and stress-free for us. We would highly recommend Auletto's to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable venue that has years of experience in event planning!
