Galuppi's Reviews

I can’t speak highly enough of Galuppi’s which turned out to be absolute perfect venue for us. The beautiful backdrop on the terrace, the amazing food, the set up of the ceremony area and the reception on the waterside deck, the attention to detail and flexibility from the staff there, all the little things like the bridal suite that they made sure was nice and cool before I got there - it was all just absolutely perfect.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding day! Debbie and the entire staff were absolutely fantastic to work with. From start to finish, their communication was clear and consistent, and they were incredibly organized and professional, making the whole process stress-free. In addition to the amazing service, the venue was also incredibly affordable and included a lot in the package compared to other options in today's wedding market, allowing us to have the wedding of our dreams without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Galuppis! The ceremony and cocktail hour were outside and reception inside. We couldn’t have been more happy with how everything came out!! It was a beautiful atmosphere and backdrop especially outside!! The food was good, but the service was absolutely amazing!!! I can’t say enough about everyone who worked the event, they were all so very sweet and helpful and we had the best time with all of them!! Debra Wallace assisted us through all the planning and was so helpful and knowledgeable and made suggestions that worked out perfectly!! Truly grateful for all the staff involved at Galuppi’s for making our wedding absolutely incredible!!!

We chose Galuppi's for our wedding because we wanted a great outdoor space for our ceremony and cocktail hour, indoor space for reception and all at a great price. We had no idea how beautifully everything would be executed, how accomodating Debra and Melanie would be, how good the food turned out, and how our guests are still talking about how great our wedding was 3 months later. The entire staff was so friendly and made sure everyone was fed, and always had a drink in their hands. I highly recommend their packages, it truly makes it all inclusive, and the only changes we made was in adding hours with the vendors, which were all also so fantastic to work with. HIGHY recommend this venue!

We chose Galuppi’s once we realized how close it was to a lot of our first memories. However, the packages are the best quality that included the essentials for us. We weren’t looking for an 8 hour venue with a bunch of other amenities. We really wanted an awesome place to host a ceremony and reception, but most of all, have a great party for less than 100 people. They also were very accommodating with any needed updates, and so helpful once the day of came. We loved Galuppi’s! The only thing is be weary with your music volume for earlier timed functions, we were asked to lower our music a few times during our reception.

We just had our wedding at Galuppi's over the weekend. The entire staff was amazing. Everyone was super attentive and caring about our needs. Everyone had such nice things to say about the catering staff, food and drinks! Our wedding was amazing!

Wow, this was an AMAZING venue that went above and beyond for my husband and me! We had another venue cancel a month before our wedding date and they fit us in and made it the most beautiful affair possible. It looked like Hawaii outside with the lights, water, and beautiful setup. Couldn't be happier and I'm so excited to go celebrate at the restaurant on important anniversaries and just for fun.

My husband and I had our wedding at Galuppis on 2/8/20 and everything was absolutely amazing. We spent a year planning and from day one everyone at Galuppi’s was so incredibly helpful and wonderful every step of the way. They made everything very low stress and simple for u and as far as weddings go in South Florida, it was very affordable. When we initially met with Diane she was so laid back and accommodating. We told her what we wanted, what we didn’t, and how much we could spend. She told us what the best package would be but then customized it further to fit our needs. For example, colored sashes for the chairs is included in the package but the ceiling treatment is not, so when I told Diane that I do not like/want chair sashes but the I thought the ceiling treatment was beautiful she was willing to swap them so we could get the ceiling treatment for no extra charge. When we went for our food tasting with Melanie, I was blown away. I am vegan and it was important to me to have a vegan wedding but I didn’t know if that would be possible for Galuppi’s to create an all vegan menu because they had never done it before. So my husband and I discussed and we figured a vegetarian menu might be a better option (although I was a little bummed). I told the staff as long as there was one vegan option that I could eat that that would be fine. However, the day we had our tasting, they surprised us and everything was fully vegan! I was shocked. The chef and the staff had done a lot of research and experimented with different plant based recipes. It meant so much to me that they took the time and energy to do that. Diane said to me “it’s YOUR wedding! You have to be able to eat the food!” On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious. It really exceeded my expectations. There were quesadillas, eggplant rollitini, Asian “chicken” and rice, “beef tips” and potatoes plus much more (usually if you ask a restaurant for a vegan option, you get a plate of lettuce.) Additionally, our package only included I believe 3 or 4 trays for the buffet but the staff told us that because we weren’t doing any meat or other animal products that we could just have everything from the tasting at the buffet! We were over joyed. When the big day finally came, Debbie was amazing. She was able to orchestrate and coordinate everything in a calm manner without getting anyone worked up (if you’ve even been in a wedding party before you know that the coordinator/planner is usually bossy and agitated and tends to stress everyone out.) The ceremony and reception space looked more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. The whole day was just absolutely perfect. When my husband and I initially looked at venues and everything was waayyy too expensive, we thought we were settling a little bit when we found galuppi’s (it was the only thing we could afford but it wasn’t as beautiful or elegant or fancy as some of the other venues.) But after this experience I can tell you we were completely wrong. We in no way settled. Our experience at Galuppi’s was so incredible I don’t think any of the other venues would have come close. Galuppis May be a little more modest than some other venues but that’s what we ended up loving about it! It felt more real, and down to earth, not so phony and snobby like some other venues. If you’re looking for a place to get married that won’t break the bank but will still be elegant and beautiful, and you want to work with a laid back and accommodating group of people, then look no further than Galuppi’s! We cannot thank them enough for all they did for us.

Gallupi’s has always been a hike away from home for us, so it was the obvious choice for our wedding venue. Gallupi’s didn’t disappoint. Everything from the planning, the price, the process, the food, the ceremony and the reception was more than perfect! I couldn’t be happier with the venue and everybody who works there and made my wedding the day the best day of my life!

Galuppi’s is a beautiful place to have your wedding. The outdoor area for the Ceremony is gorgeous and they have a wonderful room for the reception.

If you're looking for a beautiful setting and great food at an affordable price, Galuppi's delivers that and more. This was our second wedding, so we weren't looking to pay the high price that any hotel on the beach gets, even though I'm sure the amenities would have been nicer (i.e. the "bridal room" as one commented above, no valet parking, designated restrooms). The photographs came out great because it was such a beautiful setting. We used the photographer recommended by Debbie, Rosina of Flavio and Rosina's Studio because their work is displayed there and looked beautiful. Rosina was incredibly professional and patient with corralling our large family for shots. The staff could not have been more attentive to our every need. We did place a sign out front directing our guests where to enter so they wouldn't be going through the restaurant. Our head person for the reception was Cat. She brought a tray of bottled water to the bridal suite and made sure the reception room was set up beautifully. It was quite chilly and Cat asked if we wanted to move the cocktail hour inside. It was a great suggestion. The food was excellent, the bartender was quick and everything went off without a hitch. I could not have asked for a better wedding! I will also say that I used Art of Flowers and they did a beautiful job with the bouquets, table arrangements and decorating the ceremony arch. I also used DJ Cesar Calle and Jon Saxx for the ceremony. It really was beautiful and a very easy place to have a wedding. The day after, my guests called and raved about the wedding and most of them live out in West Broward so had never been there before and were quite surprised.

The banquet staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. We're planning our Florida destination wedding from Wisconsin and they have made sure we have all of our questions answered, assisted with local referrals for other services, and been quite pleasant.

Perfect venue! Food was great. It was absolutely beautiful and very reasonably priced.

We are extremely happy that we chose Galuppi's as our wedding venue. We loved the food as well as our guest. All the personnel was very friendly and professional. We really recommend this venue for your events.

We had our ceremony and reception at Galuppi's and have no complaints. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. All of my guests kept commenting on how amazing the food was. It's far beyond your typical wedding food. Rachelle, the catering manager, bent over backwards for us. She made sure that the evening was perfect and it was. I can't say enough about this place. I would recommend it to any bride! It really is high quality without breaking the bank.

Our night was perfect thanks to Rachell!!! The food was great!!! The servers where awesome, they made sure that we had everything that we needed! My husband and I couldn't of asked for a more perfect night!!

Cecilia O'Brien, the catering coordinator, worked with me from start to finish regarding my wedding. She was patient, kind, flexible, approachable, and knowledgeable. Grant Galuppi was very accommodating and delivered as promised. The venue was beautiful, the food and service was great, and the overall costs was good. Thanks Galuppi's for making my wedding dream a reality and success.

The service was wonderful. Mrs. Cecelia was great, very helpful, always return our calls, had great advice.

I had my reception at Galuppi's on August 31st. It was absolutely perfect, I couldn't be happier. From the food, to the service, the coordinators, etc. They genuinely treat you with care, not as if you are just a number. Aaron the chef was great and Wendy and Melanie were superb. Thanks again!

We had our ceremony and reception at Galuppis in pompano beach, fl. What a great choice. The food was excellent just like the tasting, as well as cocktail hour horderves. There wasn't an extra charge for duet plates or colored sashes. Melanie and Rochelle were so nice and accommodating to our requests, along with all the other staff. This place definitely gives you the most bang for your buck with quality food linens, and alcohol. Our guests raved about the food, thought it was so beautiful and are still talking about it. You can't go wrong with this as your venue so give Melanie a call at galuppis!
With great appreciation sincerely,
Christopher and Bernadette

We chose Galuppi's for our wedding reception, and were tremendously satisfied. Melanie was a huge help and was always there to answer our "pre-wedding" questions. The food was delicious!! My guest raved about it all night. The staff were so friendly and were willing to help with whatever they could. One of my favorite things is the beautiful view there is of the gold course. It added such a special touch and a beautiful backdrop for pictures. Amazing venue that I would recommend to anyone planning a special event!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Galuppi's on September 9th, 2012. It was THE BEST day of our lives! Cecelia and her team were amazing in getting everything ready for our guests, even a few that showed up without us knowing! From our initial tour, to deciding to book the venue, to working with planners and finally sharing our special day at Galuppi's, it was amazing. I highly recommend this venue for your special day!! Thank you Cecelia, and team! Courtney and Jared Wallace

I had both my wedding ceremony and reception at this location and everything came out amazing.. besides the ceremony starting a little late (due to bride being fashionably late) everything went according to plan and ran smoothly. Melanie was my coordinator for the venue and she did everything to make sure everything was on track and she worked with me on every detail especially when i would call her to ask her for help on a certain vendor. she works with you side by side and makes you feel comfortable. Overall im extremely happy that i had my wedding at this venue. i would definantly recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding in a beautiful location.. you will not be sorry!!! =D

The service provided at Galuppi's for our wedding was INCREDIBLE!!!! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception there and I can't begin to RAVE about our experience with them!! From the first time we went there we fell in love with the venue. It's even more beautiful than the pictures show!! Cecilia is the best!!! She was super helpful and any questions or concerns I had she answered right away. The entire staff was on top of everything the day of!!The food was AMAZING thanks to their wonderful chef Aaron!!! All of our guests haven't stopped complimenting us on choosing Galuppi's for our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend this venue if you want your wedding to turn out PERFECT!!

We had a buffet style wedding dinner and the food was incredible! The prime rib carving station was amazing and the salmon was to die for! The set up was absolutely beautiful and Debbie was always making sure we had everything exactly how I wanted before the wedding. My family and friends could not stop talking about how perfect our wedding venue was. For the amount of people we had, it was a great price and well worth every penny! Definitely will recommend this to friends and family!!

I was delighted to host our wedding at such a beautiful location. I wanted an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, so and this fit perfectly. From the moment I signed the contract through the entire planning process (WE GOT MARRIED 11/03/2012) I was impressed at the exceptional customer service. Melanie was my coordinator and she is just amazing. She had great ideas, and all the answers. I highly recommend them whether you are doing your ceremony and reception, just reception, or any formal event for that matter!

They offer a great price for their wedding packages. Rachelle is great and easy to work with. The food is great and the staff are professional and very polite. My wedding was phenomenal.

We were very satisfied with the entire process of our wedding here. The price is right and we had a very professional planner (Melanie). She was very helpful and gave us the best deal for our budget. They have something for every budget here and beautiful scenery on the golf course. The food was great, the servers were attentive and polite to guests. The only complaint we have it that there wasn't an attendant in the parking lot to guide the guests to the ceremony. Guests were confused and entering through the restaurant bar instead. Other than that, everything was perfection!!! Highly recommend this venue to everyone looking for a fabulous wedding with limited budgets.

Our wedding at Galuppi's was fantastic! Everyone raved about the food and drinks. They added additional items to our menu that they don't normally serve, at our request, and everything came out great. From day one, Cecilia was wonderful in guiding us along the process and was happy to accommodate all of our needs. Unfortunately on the morning of our wedding Cecilia was sick. She called to let me know they were sending her home and that Melanie would be there in her place. Granted I only saw Melanie one time, Tammy, the captain, was awesome! She went above and beyond in making sure everything was perfect and that everyone had a good time. We are so glad we chose Galuppi's as our venue! We even had a guest recommend Galuppi's to his son for his wedding! Thank you Galuppi's for making our wedding day as perfect as it was!

Everything was great my wedding turned out beautiful thankful for the employees at Galuppis!

EXCELLENT wedding venue! On our wedding day, the staff was courteous and extremely attentive to both the bridal party and our guests. Everything went off seamlessly.

The staff are very flexible with my menu...they are even working on a custom menu for my wedding! They are all really nice, too! They just take a little while to get back to you sometimes. But the location is gorgeous and I am extremely happy!

i HAD MY WEDDING HERE ON 12/1. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE. WE HAD OUT CEREMONY AND RECEPTION THERE. WE EVEN ADDED ON AN EXTRA HOUR OF OPEN BAR AND TAMMY THE CORRDINATOR WAS VERY WONDERFUL ABOUT IT. THE STAFF INCLUDING THE HEAD MANAGER CECILLIA IS GREAT.tHE FOOD WAS AMAZING. AND THEIR CAKE VENDOR WAS AWESOME. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR QUALITY WEDDING VENUE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. ALSO, I WAS RUNNING SOMEWHAT BEHIND GETTING READY AND THE STAFF WAS VERY GENEROUS AND PATIENT WITH ME. THANK YOU GALUPPI'S!

My mother booked us here for our wedding rehearsal luncheon weeks in advance. We selected it because it was our second choice on wedding venues. The place was packed with other large and small parties...they stuffed our party of 14 in the center of the bar area; not even the dining room. It was loud. The service was acceptable. I would recommend it on a day other than Saturday afternoon and I'd make it a point to request a table in the dining room with a view of the golf course which is what I was expecting.

Galuppis is a beautiful venue. The golf course, the lake, the bridge. It's perfect. Katherine and Tammy did an amazing job the night of. Making sure we were ok, always making sure we had drinks in our hands, and making sure everything was running smoothly. I couldn't thank them enough!!! But the whole process up to the wedding was an up hill battle. We always dealt with Debbie, and while she knows her stuff, she has no customer service. I always felt she was a little bit on the rude side, she would take forever to get back to you and respond to your emails and she was difficult to work with. My wedding went off with out a hitch and I couldn't thank Galuppis enough! The pricing was just right for our budget, the food was to die for and my night was perfect

For the price value, this venue is beautiful. Prior to the wedding I had to go back and forth with the staff as I had requested a different layout then the simple cookie cutter norm for the venue and it seemed difficult at times to get questions answered. At the end of the day it worked out and the guests enjoyed themselves.

Great Venue. Can't bet the prices

I absolutely have no complaints about the cleanliness and beauty of this place. My wedding was absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly, except for the wedding planner. It's unfortunate, she was extremely nice up until we gave the final payment, the she turned into a you know what. She did not want to help with center pieces or set up. The day of the wedding we got ready in the bridal suite on the premises. The wedding planner was missing in action the entire time. She was supposed to provide us with cheese and wine, and we had to ask for it. Then when she brought it, she told us she was in a tasting sol she'd "be out of commission for a while" were her exact words. Excuse me??? Its my wedding day! Then the straw that broke the camel's back was when she told us we had to clean up the bridal suite during the reception. She actually wanted us to stop and clean the bridal suite during the reception. My mother, thank god, handled it and told her it would be cleaned after the wedding, but the wedding planner was not happy or nice about it.

I recently had a wedding here and my overall experience was good. The venue is very well priced and beautiful for photos. I didn't have any issues until the day before my wedding. The only person I dealt with was Debbie the catering coordinator. She isn't a warm person and is kinda rude. The day before my wedding I was told I could set up the room with my centerpieces. Debbie told me that there was not a event going on so I could.. When I got there around 5 PM there was an event going on and Debbie did not tell me that she sold a event. No Communication at all. I had to wait and come back at 10:30 at night to set up my room. She never apologized. My wedding was Saturday at noon and I was there till after mid night Setting up the table centerpieces. If you have your wedding here be sure to plan on having a team that will go in and set up your centerpieces the staff does not touch them. I was told they will be thrown away if we don't take them the day of!
The bridal suite was also very disgusting my foot feet were black . And there was a pallet of bread in there the whole entire time. I could tell that they were not prepared for a wedding. There was also bird droppings all over the aisle. We had asked them twice to spray it off. The bridal suite toilet never worked. I had nowhere to use the restroom at. The staff tried to get it to work but it never did. right before I was going to walk down the aisle I had to run around the front of the restaurant in my dress and use the main restroom and be seen by all of my guests. There was no one out front directing the guests were to walk to, they were all confused where to go. Debbie told me that there would be somebody out there and there never was. completely unacceptable And STILL haven't heard back from Debbie. She took my money and ran with it. Over all the food was good and wait staff was attentive. Be aware they don't care about brides. I have so much more to say about this place but can't all fit here lol

Pros, beautiful golf course view (which we didn't end up getting because we had 47 people confirmed instead of 50) and cheap wedding dinner plate fee.
Cons, food was less than good, we asked for the steak medium, instead they gave us steak rare. The salmon was avgerage. They tried to con us into "buying" the ceiling treatment for $1,300!!! When I complained and said that was too expensive, they said "we can give you a discount and charge you $500 only if the wedding on Saturday pays to have it up for their event ( btw, my wedding was on a Friday). However, going back to the venue during the weeknights the ceiling treatment was still up!! That's when i knew, these swindlers were trying to trick us into paying an extra $1,300 for nothing!!!!! And of course the night of our wedding, the ceiling treatment was still there and I didn't pay a dime!! Overall, they have very bad communication with their brides. The only reason i would recommend them is because they are cheap, BUT BUYERS BEWARE!!! They are not honest, trustworthy business, they are definitely looking to nickle and dime couples. Do not let your guard down with them and make sure you get EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!

Delayed replies, got a lot of stuff wrong! Lost my rose petals, didn't do my table plan right as they had a venue in the morning so had to rush to set my wedding up! Weren't helpful. Staff didnt care. The wedding organiser met with another couple to discuss there wedding while watching me rushing to set my tables up on my wedding day! Rude to my photographer. Was cayos. Asshame as the venue is lovely.

DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. Debbie, the women who will be in charge of your wedding, will not answer the phone. Ever. It was super frustrating. Had it not been for the wedding planner that I had to hire because of Galuppis's lack of communication, I honestly believe my wedding would have been a disaster. Not only were my questions not answered but Debbie would constantly lie. They tried to change prices last minute, they did not remove extra tables that weren't being used from the room, and although the food tasted great during the food tasting, it was absolutely horrible the day of. It was so bad MULTIPLE guests complained. Debbie will tell you that you will have to pay to keep the draping up in the room: lies it's never taken down. Debbie will tell you that you can pay $100 for her to be at your wedding: lies she will leave after 30 minutes. Debbie will also tell you that your wedding is a priority: lies because they book 2/3 weddings in one day and you have to accommodate to them. You have no idea how upset I was to hear that I couldn't have my table layout because they booked a wedding before mine and the other bride didn't want the tables that way. Especially because I'm sure I booked the venue way ahead with 1.5 years in advance. Maybe Debbie is super busy because their are more then one wedding booked in a day, or maybe her and her coworkers are just to lazy to answer the phone. Regardless DO NOT USED THIS VENUE. TRUST ME.

If you are looking for a stressless, seamless, and beautiful event, please look somewhere else. The bridal suite has no bathroom and no private changing areas. The decor has not been changed since the 80’s. Grounds where guests enter were full of trash and cigarette butts. We cleaned it up because the staff was non- responsive. Dinner service was beyond terrible- half of the room was just getting salads while others were finishing the main course. Forget the banquet manager for help- better off going to a server for help. Also- servers and kitchen staff super angry. Our guests got to experience them cursing and slamming trays as part of our ambiance. If you want stress, poor communication, dirty surroundings and a management team that doesn’t care then this is your place.

Theif!!! You stole thousands of dollars from me. I have been intouch with news agencies (look for the news article coming out) attorneys and the state of Florida about what happend from a this restaurant. Google (Salvatore Joseph Delia) galluppis last general manager only under grant galluppi him self! He is a REAL con artist, scammed thousands of dollars from both customers and employees of galluppis! Dobt believe me google it, rip off report dot com and the news article coming out! Don’t give them your credit card! I lost thousands because of being scammed here... I have court documents ,pictures ,screen shots ect. Look for the news report about this place!
