  Elegant/Quality/Delicious Food

  We come to Il Villaggio for late lunch early dinner and drinks every couple of weeks and we love the place. Dennis the Chef is just the best there is and the bartender Jimmy is always very welcoming to everyone. Friday August 11, 2023 we had our wedding reception here. We eloped in April and decided to have a family celebration so we met with Chris who handles all of the weddings. Chris and his staff made themselves available whenever we needed anything. To answer questions, aid and assisting hiring vendors, panning menus, decor etc. This is a very well oiled machine that the Owner Ralph has put together. Our guests commented over and over again how elegant the setting is here. Ours was a more intimate crowd of 57 guests, however, they absolutely accommodate large full scale weddings in their grand ballroom which is also very warm and well appointed. Very inviting and elegant. The staff was on target all evening long from the servers, to my bridal attendant Angie, the bartender Steven, the Maitre D Leoand of coarse Chris and Dennis all doing their special part to make us feel like family. Our entire family raved about the food too. We had a five hour continuous cocktail party with vast food choices from around the globe. Aside from what we would love which is a lot of Italian delicacies, we had a Southern Comfort Station and a Havana Station that the guests went crazy for. They added a unique twist with different food choices. Every table we visited the plates were full of different foods everyone was trying. Guests said this was the most unqique selection and they could not decide so they ate as mush as they could have everything. First hour featured a raw bar of oysters, clams and shrimp that were fantastic. Lots of chafing dishes eggplant rollotini, sausage and broccoli rabe, meats, chicken IlVillaggio, pastas, salads, antipasto's, mozzarella, lamb chops, spanakopita, egg rolls, shrimp tempura, coconut shrimp etc. etc. The list seemed endless. The nest four hours were caring stations, homemade pastas, sides, the specialty stations, veal, chicken beef, prime rib you name it. All along keeping the bar flowing. The entire evening of music by Phil and Mary from NY Sound Machine was awesome, the photographer David Miller made sure to capture the festivities, the cake from Callandra's in Fairfield was fresh strawberries and whip cream just delicious! This was a night we and our family and friends will never forget, thank. you for making our dream wedding so perfect from the beginning of the planning process to the end! And we did this in a very short window thanks to Il Villaggio. Photos to follow...

  Reception of my dreams

  I cannot say enough good things about Il Villaggio. We had our wedding reception there on 9/23/23. From start to finish, Il Villaggio was a dream to work with. From the moment we walked in for the initial tour to the moment our reception ended we truly felt the love and support of the entire staff. From the food choices, the customization of our cocktail hour and dinner, to the ambiance they created with the lighting and cleanliness of the entire place, nothing is left to be desired. The bridal suite was perfect for us and our bridal party to do touch ups and have a moment to rest in between the different functions. We definitely plan to be back. Love love love.

  Il Villaggio

  Il Villaggio is THE place to have a wedding! From start to finish, our wedding was handled with the greatest attention and care we could’ve asked for. Their ballroom is gorgeous, cocktail hour is elaborate, and attention to detail is superb. Chris, and previously Patrick, are super easy to get in touch and plan with. Chris is very responsive to emails and phone calls and makes sure to work with the bride and groom to ensure their requests are met. On the day of our wedding, the whole staff was professional and respectful. From our bridal attendant, to the maitre d, to the wait staff and bartenders— they made our night so easy with nothing to worry about on our end! Chris made sure to have all our personal affects displayed in a beautiful way, including personalized bride and groom drinks. Our guests have been telling us that the food for cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert was all phenomenal. I can’t recommend Il Villaggio’s food enough, it is really of the highest quality. They also work with incredible vendors and we were able to find and work with Jenifer Studios, Broderick’s Florist, Danaro Limos, and Mondo Entertainment because they were recommended to us by Il Villaggio. We had such an amazing wedding reception and we owe it all to Il Villaggio! We can’t thank them enough!

  Il Villaggio was the perfect choice for us!

  Chris and team at Il Villaggio did a fantastic job from start to finish. They worked with our budget to find a great day without sacrificing value. They also were responsive and attentive to our needs throughout the whole planning process as well as the night of our wedding. All our guests loved the food, drinks and service that night.

  The absolute best!

  Everything about working with Il Villaggio and Patrick and the team were better than I could have ever expected. They really went above and beyond. We had around 50 guests and were so happy to be accommodated for our small wedding. We had our ceremony and reception there. The guests loved the food, said it was the best they’ve had at any wedding ever! We had brought all of our decor the night before and when we arrived everything was set up PERFECTLY. The team is so incredible, kind, and attentive and we couldn’t have had a better experience.

  Best wedding venue in nj!

  My family and I looked at many venues when we began our search for wedding venues. We were greeted immediately by Patrick, who was so friendly and polite. This was during Covid and we were very nervous about what the future held. From the get go, Patrick made us comfortable and reassured us that everything would go as planned and would go smooth. Boy was he right! We decided to book with Patrick and his team. Throughout the whole process, Patrick was there for us and very responsive. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and it was just the perfect size for the amount of guests we were having. Everything from our bridal attendant, to the waiters, decor, vibe, lighting, atmosphere, bridal suite.. was absolutely perfect. Not to mention the most delicious food and best penne w/ vodka sauce we have ever tasted! It was the most amazing night and we wish we could relive it again. Patrick really made all of our dreams come true. Thank you so much for making our wedding magical. ❤️

  An Advocate for the Bride and Groom

  Il Villaggio and its team are the cream of the crop. They do not only have the most beautiful venue but they also have the most amazing food, caring staff, and a manager who has compassion for his clients. We truly cannot express how thankful we are to Patrick and his team. He was there for us when we had to change our date a couple of times due to the pandemic and nothing could be easier than to work with him to have the wedding of our dreams. Our guests absolutely showered us with compliments about this venue and their food. We are talking high ceilings, magnificent chandeliers, state-of-the-art lights, and oh the food! Five stars and my highest recommendations - no need to look anywhere else!

  True Wedding Professionals

  My husband and I had our wedding reception at Il Villaggio about two months ago, and we’re so pleased with our venue selection. From the moment we first stepped into the building, we were impressed by the atmosphere. The ballroom is beautiful, and didn’t require much else in terms of decor. It was also wonderful that the ballroom had LED lights built in, so we didn’t need to worry about those, either. Patrick was so helpful from the beginning, and it’s obvious he’s a seasoned professional when it comes to weddings. He also truly cares about both the wedding couple and the guests enjoying themselves, and it shows. Il Villaggio does only one event at a time, so the staff was focused entirely on making our event the best it could possibly be. The day of our wedding, the staff regularly checked on us if we needed anything. It also seemed like our guests really liked the waitstaff as well. My husband and I were concerned we wouldn’t get to eat much at the reception, but the staff was already ahead of us. Shortly after we arrived, Gloria brought us a spread of most of the cocktail hour food to eat in the bridal suite. For dinner, we got all three of our chosen entrees, and we were given takeout containers for anything we didn’t finish. The food was all delicious (my husband is still raving about the Little Havana station in particular), and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Il Villaggio provided fantastic value for the money, and the staff is top notch. We’re so grateful to Il Villaggio for helping make our wedding day a success, and we highly recommend them for anyone wanting to hold an event.

  Il Villaggio is the best!

  If you are looking for an amazing venue that your friends and family will love with a beautiful ambiance, look no further. Il Villaggio more than exceeded our expectations for the perfect venue. Between its beautiful European vibes and the best food and cocktail hour we have ever seen, it is truly amazing. Majority of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The Venetian hour was insane... a whole room filled with delicious desserts that guests are still raving about well over a week later. The staff was amazing, they made me feel like a queen as the bride, and our guests feel like royalty. Special shout out to our "Wedding Boss" Patrick who made the process of planning a wedding she easy and enjoyable. If you are looking for the perfect space to host your event... look no further!

Let me start with saying that even at almost a month out from our wedding day, we are still having our guests reach out to tell us that our wedding was one of the best they have ever attended. From the service, to the food, to the overall ambiance and energy, every minute of our wedding day was absolutely perfect due to the hard work and dedication of the Il Villaggio staff. Il Villaggio happened to be the very first venue that we met with and did a virtual tour of as we were still in the thick of covid when we began the wedding planning process. From the very first video call, we knew that we had come across something special not only in Il Villaggio as a venue, but in Patrick as well. There are simply not enough words to describe the number of roles Patrick plays in the process of making your dream wedding day a reality, he quite literally does it all. From the very first conversation, he was honest, realistic, extremely informative, and made us feel totally comfortable without ever feeling an ounce of pressure. When we were able to meet in person, all of the same feelings we had from the first video call were validated and we instantly felt like we had known Patrick for years. Not to mention the venue is absolutely beautiful and walking into the grand ballroom truly stops you in your tracks. Patrick and his team at Il Villaggio made the entire planning process easy, even from afar as my husband’s job moved us to Chicago shortly after we visited and booked the venue. Even without being able to meet in person, Patrick and the team never skipped a beat and never left a stone uncovered. Patrick thought of things I never would have thought of and made sure that the distance between us would cause me no additional stress and I could not be more appreciative. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, and I still cannot get over how much of a dream the day was from start to finish. Patrick, Leo and the Il Villaggio staff as a whole made sure that every single detail was attended to and mad sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We even had Patrick officiate our ceremony which he tailored to be unique to us as a couple and made the ceremony feel so intimate. From the cocktail hour into the reception, our guests were totally in awe. The rave reviews of the food, the beauty and grandeur of the ballroom, and the smoothness of the operation continue to roll in. I cannot express enough how highly I recommend Il Villaggio- it will be the best decision you make throughout your entire wedding planning process. THANK YOU Patrick, Leo & the entire Il Villaggio staff for giving us the wedding of our dreams, we will never forget it!!!

  Il Villaggio was perfect!

  Patrick and his staff were very accommodating to our guests and were extremely helpful throughout our several wedding date changes. They met our needs and set up everything perfectly! They did a fantastic job making our evening a night to remember in the most perfect ball room ever! My husband and I had an amazing time and we highly recommend them!!

  Absolutely Amazing!

  We could not be happier with the experience that we had for our wedding at the Il Villaggio. We knew from the first time we saw the venue that it would be the place where we had our wedding. Patrick was extremely helpful, professional, and made the whole experience seamless. Our guests have been complimenting the service and the food. We are so grateful for everything that the Il Villaggio offered to make our day so special! My husband and I highly recommend this venue for a wedding and other events.

  Beautiful Venue & Awesome Staff

  As far as venues go, this was perfect. The decor is beautiful and classy and the food was amazing!! (We went to the restaurant attached to try the food before hand and it really sold us on choosing this venue) We had a Sunday wedding and were the only event being held there that day (restaurant is closed Sundays). We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at Il Villaggio and everything flowed nicely and was just smooth sailing the whole day.
  
  Patrick at Il Villaggio was incredible! He was very kind, informative and accommodating when it came to planning and the day of the wedding. Any way he could help us, he did and he truly made the stress of finding a venue non existent. We are so grateful for his guidance and LOVED how everything turned out day of!

  More than 5-star!

  If I could give Patrick and Il Villaggio more than five stars, I would. An absolutely amazing venue, with even better food, somehow staffed with even better people. My wedding was more than I had ever planned on in my entire life. I would legitimately recommend this venue to everyone and anyone.

  Amazing venue!

  Words cannot express our gratitude to Il Villaggio for the execution of our dream wedding 9/7/2019. Their staff's professionalism, attention to detail, and enthusiasm really made it clear why we chose Il Villaggio to host our wedding. We could not have asked for anything more and we are so thankful to the staff for making our night the absolute best. Patrick, who we had worked with for the past almost 2 years since booking, was so wonderful, helpful and sincere. He worked through all of our challenges and assisted us in all of our requests. He truly is THE Wedding Boss! If you need a venue for the perfect budget, amazing food that guests will rave about for years to come and the most beautiful ballroom, look no further than Il Villaggio! 10/10

  Best Day Ever Thanks to Il Villaggio

  Our 8/24/19 Wedding at Il Villaggio was Remarkable thanks to Patrick Lopez and all of the staff! We planned our dream wedding in 6 short months and Patrick was there every step of the way! Our ceremony was on site. It was beautiful, stress-free. The food was OUTSTANDING! The best thing that we could have ever done was enjoy our cocktail hour upstairs in the bridal suite. Every item that our guests enjoyed was also hand served us. The bridal attendant was fantastic, she followed me around holding my bouquet and fixing my dress until it was time to party. I had nothing to worry about. The views and ballroom were absolutely beautiful and made for great pictures. The timing of everything was perfect and our guests raved about the food and the decor. We had the best day of our lives! Thank you to Patrick and the staff of Il Villaggio! Don’t wait, book with Patrick today!
