    A Beautiful Place to Get Married!

    As a vendor, I have been at Caffe Luna dozens of times in my career and I can tell you that they are very kind professionals! Their food is always amazing and the staff's friendliness is even better! I always love getting to come downtown to party with Darcey and her staff!

    Blown away!

    We had our wedding reception at Caffe Luna at the beginning of August (our ceremony was at JC Raulston Arboretum). I mainly chose Caffe Luna for the price because we were trying to have a "cheaper" wedding. It is incredibly reasonable and it makes it so easy that food + alcohol + venue + service is all included. Cost effectiveness aside, I was absolutely blown away by Caffe Luna as a wedding reception venue! Darcey, the catering manager is such a joy to work with. Not only is she nicest person ever, but she is so quick to respond and so flexible. Caffe Luna staff helps with setting up & breaking down & they also serve the alcohol. They...

    Amazing Food, Amazing Service

    Caffe Luna was one of the preferred vendors for The Stockroom at 230, and we are so glad that they were! They were affordable (comparatively speaking), the food was delicious, and the service was amazing. Darcey was an absolute dream to work with! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Darcey kept in touch with us the entire time. Even when I had to make several adjustments to what we needed, Darcey worked with us to make sure we were able to stay within our budget and still get what we wanted. I highly recommend Caffe Luna for anyone looking for an amazing, delicious, and affordable service!

    Perfect Venue with AMAZING Food!

    What a beautiful venue. The food was amazing (as it always is) and the staff was wonderful. Darcey was committed to making our day special. She was so organized and efficient. This is probably the best value you will get for your money. The buffet price includes wine and beer!

    Absolutely wonderful!!

    Caffe Luna was very quaint, yet such an elegant experience. Not a lot of decor needed. The food was delicious and the staff was professional and very helpful with all aspects of my wedding from beginning to end.

    Great food! Great staff! 1 price for food & alcohol

    Cafe Luna catered our wedding at the Cannon Room on 10/23/21 and we couldn't be happier! I'm vegetarian and their normal buffet has a lot of meat on it, but they were very willing to work with us and make sure it was a delicious, largely vegetarian menu. We got lots of compliments on the food!

    The staff on the day of the event were wonderful, joyful, and helpful all night and Darcey is a legit pleasure to work with! She was very helpful during our planning process, quick to respond to questions and generally wonderful to work with.

    Other things we appreciated: they were open to serving desserts from anywhere and would also serve alcohol...

    Excellent Service!

    We used Caffe Luna for catering for our micro wedding. We worked closely with Darcey to build our perfect menu. Darcey went above and beyond to make our catering experience perfect! The food was amazing and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Caffe Luna for your catering needs.

    Excellent food/reasonably priced


    We booked one of their private rooms for a wedding rehearsal dinner for our son’s wedding in November, for 40 guests. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our guests were very complimentary about the food and service.
    My Italian-Canadian family members who grew up with homemade Italian cooking all enjoyed the food..The catering manager, Darcy Tinga was very responsive and accommodating during the planning. There were several options of meals to choose from, and you can’t beat the price for a sit-down, high quality meal, inclusive of wine. I highly recommend Caffe Luna for private events as well as for dining.

    Amazing Rehearsal Dinner

    We had our son's rehearsal dinner at Caffe Luna. Everything about it was phenomenal! We had 74 adults and children. The buffet food was amazing and above and beyond our expectations. We had a number of celiacs in our party and Darcey and Erin along with the chef went out of their way to have so many gluten free options for them - and they were knowledgable about the need to avoid cross-contamination. The staff at the restaurant did most of the work setting up my table decorations before I arrived. Darcey was super helpful in getting the menu set like we wanted. She helped me by coming up with the table floor plan. We had so many compliments...

    Eat, drink, and be married!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Caffe Luna. From the incredible food to the outstanding location, Darcey and her team went above and beyond to make our 100 person wedding reception a success. Everything was included-- the meal, the linens, the alcohol, and more-- which made the wedding planning process that much easier. Darcey was so easy to work with throughout our wedding prep, and offered helpful feedback and advice immediately whenever we had questions. And the food... oh my stars! The consensus among our guests has been "best wedding meal ever," and we have to agree!! We are so grateful to Caffe Luna for making our big day one for the books.

    Fabulous, Fun, Fantastic!

    Our wedding reception was such a blast here! We sat 80 people comfortably. It is a dazzling, enchanting, beautiful gem in the heart of downtown Raleigh. What you get for your money is a delicious buffet of some of the tastiest dishes the restaurant has to offer, unlimited wine and beer with a bar tender, linens (we used our own), silver and glass wear, breathtaking atmosphere, and a kind and friendly staff. They also have a private room where the buffet is held where my husband and I got to chill, sip some beer and nibble on our own plates of appetizers made specially for us before we were introduced. That certainly calmed the nerves and took the edge...

    Cafe Luna was the perfect place for our small rehearsal dinner! The food was amazing, the services was great, and Darcey was super easy to work with. Setting up the rehearsal dinner was really hassle free which was perfect because we had so much going on, planning the wedding on our own. It was so nice to be able to set up the rehearsal dinner and then forget about it! And once again, the food was absolutely amazing! Our guests really enjoyed it!

    We are so happy we chose Cafe Luna for our ceremony/reception venue! The food was great, and there was plenty of it! Ryan helped with everything we needed and always responded quickly. She was very patient with all my silly questions and worries. She was also very flexible with anything we needed. I will always recommend them to anyone getting married!

    Amazing Food and Service

    I can't say enough about the fabulous job that Caffe Luna did catering my daughter's wedding. Darcey was so professional, organized, and competent from the first meeting to the end of the event. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our guests left full and happy. I recommend using them for any event. So happy with their services.

    Beautiful Venue! Couldn't be happier with our special day!

    My husband and I got married at Caffe Luna this November and we were so happy with the venue! We had both the ceremony and reception at Caffe Luna. It was great to have it on a Sunday as the restaurant was closed and we had the whole place.

    Darcey was super helpful throughout the planning process, always happy to answer questions and replying quickly. The day of the wedding, the staff helped with the setup of the centerpieces, served the food and helped cut and serve our cake. And not to mention the food was delicious! Everything went so smoothly and we were able to just have fun and enjoy the day with our loved ones.

    Rehearsal Dinner of my dreams

    My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here over Labor Day weekend, and it was perfect! Darcey was so friendly and easy to work with, responding very timely to emails and phone calls. All the food was amazing (we went with the Ravioli and the white cream pasta dish as our pasta choices, the latter being a huge hit); people said it was probably one of the best rehearsal dinners they have had! It was so easy to just have an open bar of wine and beer. The staff was very attentive, and spaced out the courses perfectly. Both dessert options were delicious. We had a couple people who had to eat gluten free, and the staff was...

    Amazing intimate venue

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Had eaten here before so we knew the food would be top notch. Darcey will be your saving grace! She was always very responsive and very flexible. She made planning everything so easy! Our whole day went smoothly because of her and the amazing staff. Great value and delicious food. Wine and beer included! It really is a beautiful space for any occasion and our wedding was definitely a wonderful day for us and our guests. Look no further, you won't be disappointed!

    Awesome venue

    We were originally planning to have a 150 person wedding, but 4 weeks out we had to cancel at our original venue due to COVID. We ended up having a smaller wedding and moved it to Caffe Luna - it was incredible! The team (namely, Darcey) is AWESOME- very accommodating, flexible, responsive, kind, and helpful. Although re-planning a wedding 4 weeks out was stressful, they made it as easy for me as possible. Food is amazing- good variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. They even let you have a DJ! Highly recommend for baby showers, rehearsal dinner, and weddings. Can't thank them enough for helping make our wedding day so special!

    People are still talking about how much they loved the food at my wedding, but what I can't stop talking about is how appreciative I am of all of Darcey's hard work. She made the planning and execution of my wedding stress-free and I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

    Thank you, Darcey, for all of your efforts to ensure that the happy couple enjoyed the day. You are the absolute best!

    Caffe Luna is the best place to have a wedding

    I have to start by saying that I looked at a bunch of options, and some places had a great location but limited catering, others had good catering but not the best location, until I realized that I'm going about it all wrong and I need to have my wedding at a restaurant. That's when I called Caffe Luna and from the get go the pricing was great, the owner was so responsive and accommodating, and I finally felt that I had found the perfect place for me.

    Now, I have to mention Darcey. SHE. IS. ABSOLUTELY. AMAZING. She was so responsive, answered all my questions promptly, knew so much about weddings, and was so organized and...

    I would HIGHLY recommend Caffe Luna! Darcey was wonderful to work with - very responsive and accommodating. Having the 20 or so years of experience coordinating numerous weddings, Darcey has it down pat. She knows what works, what hasn't worked well in the past, how to plan out the timeline for the event to make it flow smoothly, and provided great recommendations for vendors.

    The venue is so nicely decorated that it requires little in additional decor aside from centerpieces, which helps save some cost. And I literally can't explain how amazing and plentiful the food is! Everyone had rave reviews for the food, including us as b&g. The beer and wine options were also wonderful and...

    Our daughter and son-in-law had their rehearsal dinner at Caffe' Luna in May and it was one of the best experiences we ever could have hoped for! We had a private room (and were allowed to bring in centerpieces and personal photographs for one of the tables earlier in the day), the limited choice menu offered something for everyone (and we had great guidance on those selections), the bar was well-stocked and well-managed, the food was wonderful and appropriately served, the service was world class (we had two servers dedicated to us and they could not have been more accommodating), Daniel even helped us load our car after the event. Would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion --- in fact, I just recommended it to a friend yesterday!

    Darcey is phenomenol. I could not have asked for a better person to head up the Caffe Luna team and run the weddings there! She was SO responsive to messages and open to all my ideas. She responded to every question I had email after email which kindness, professionalism, and openness. We loved having our wedding with you all June 2018 and will never forget that day! Thank you so much!

    Our wedding experience with Caffe Luna was amazing. Darcy was so accommodating, she listened to everything I wanted, and found a way to make it happen, while still giving her professional opinion. She worked with my wedding planner and vendors to make sure everything ran so smoothly. The whole staff made the whole experience incredible. Let's not forget the food! It was incredible all of my guest loaded their plates and there was still plenty of leftovers. Multiple people came up and told us how good the food was. The fact that we didn't have to worry about tables, chairs, or linens made it so we had one less wedding stress to worry about.

    I was worried...
