LaVera Party Center Reviews

I couldn't be more thrilled with La Vera's exceptional service at my wedding reception at Standing Rock Farms. They were on the venue's preferred vendor list, and choosing them as our caterer was the best decision we made. The staff were incredibly attentive, making our day truly unforgettable. The food was phenomenal, with guests raving that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Working with Carl, the owner, was seamless; he was always available and communication was straightforward. If you're looking for a caterer in Cleveland, La Vera is hands down the best. I've already recommended them to friends with upcoming weddings.

LaVera what a beautiful venue with exceptional food!
The staff is amazing and Sam the person you must speak with is fabulous! They will make your wedding reception and your ceremony extraordinary!
Your family and guest will truly have a memorable experience.

LaVera has been a staple in my family for weddings since my parents were married. It was only the right choice to continue the tradition. I knew they were people I could trust to do my wedding justice.

First, Sam was by our sides through our entire planning process. He was there when we had no idea where to start and helped guide my husband and I through our decisions. We truly could not have had our wedding without Sam. He was attentive to all our emails and calls and extremely responsive. I knew at any moment if I needed help I could reach out to him and he would be there. For the night of our wedding Sam and Anthony both checked in to me and my husband multiple times. They made sure we ate before our guests so we could do our greetings and also checked that the night was going as we planned. For this we are so grateful for. I truly could not have had a better person help me plan our wedding.

For the venue, LaVera was like a dream. The set up of our wedding was stunning. We had multiple guests coming up to us telling us how beautiful our reception was. I give all credit to LaVera for putting together a gorgeous hall. Also, the food at LaVera was amazing. My husband and I were actually able to eat our meals and everything came out hot and cooked perfectly. We did a plated style dinner with chicken picatta and a filet. This was served with red skin potatoes, green beans, a salad starter and family style cavatelli. We also did the italian grazing table and pastry table for dessert. We had an astounding number of guests compliment the food served and how timely it came it them. Everyone was so impressed by the double protein and how much food was plated to them at a wedding.

I could not recommend a place more than I do LaVera. At this point it feels as if though they are family. They truly are able to be trusted to make your wedding perfect.

To Carl, Anthony, and especially Sam. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams. You did everything so perfect, and in every way I could have ever imagined. The set up, the tear down, the food. EVERYTHING. We have gotten so so many compliments on the food, space, and quality. Love you guys and thank you again!!

To any Bride and Groom I would recommend La Vera in a heart beat. You will get every ounce of your money's worth and you and all of your guests will be handled!!

AMAZING. Hands down the best wedding food of all time. Carl and Holly are the best to work with. These two and their team went above and beyond for us. Appetizers, main course, cake/dessert, late night food. Everything was top notch. Our guests raved all night about the food. This place is a home run hire for any couple looking for a wedding caterer. Not only amazing food, but great people to work with who will do everything they can for you.

The entire staff from the owners to the waitstaff and bartenders worked hard to make sure no detail went overlooked! Every guest was treated like family! Our experience exceeded our expectations and our guests are still raving! The food was fabulous, our Event Manager was onsite making sure everything was perfect and it was!

We just got married here, in the crystal room, on September 25!! Anthony was so easy to work with and made sure everything was set, even when we had a bunch of last minute changes. We picked this place for their food and value - you get so much bang for your buck!!! All of our guests raved about the food!! We had chicken Parmesan and the filet, and so much more came with it!!! The garlic mashed potatoes were my personal favorite. The dessert trays were also out of this world! Would definitely recommend!

This place is absolutely amazing along with Stefani and Anthony. We had our reception in the crystal room. The pictures do not do any justice, it is more stunning in person. As soon as we stepped foot in for our tour we knew this was our place. Their food is amazing too, we had the filet and chicken marsala with the late night bites (included in their package) taco bar and pizza bar. There was so much other food, all delicious. And food was a big deal for us. They were very understanding with us doing our ceremony on a different day (personal reasons - the date was special to us). We had our ceremony in the Tuscan room. So elegant and classy. I highly recommend this venue for any event you pay host.

As a Covid-19 bride, I had tons of questions and there were many last minute changes to our wedding as we tried to navigate the current guidelines. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff at La-Vera was to work with. Anthony Verdone is truly the right man for the job. He was easy-going, never flustered, and went out of his way to help my husband and I with everything - even turning on the lights and fountains so we could get a great photo outside after the wedding. The bartenders and servers were also great - very pleasant and professional - and everything went smoothly. I love that they are a family-run business and I will definitely be back for their catering. The food was great!

Our wedding was held at LaVera Party Center in the Tuscan Room and everything was perfect! The room was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and more than anything, they treated everyone like family. Anthony was so easy to work with and very responsive to my many, many questions. If I ever need to plan a large event again, I will definitely host it at LaVera.

LaVera was wonderful to work with and in my opinion the best package deal! The food is amazing, the cake was included, we were able to bring in our own alcohol and we were able to use there vases and mirror which saved us money. They are all so nice there and easy to work with. I highly recommend LaVera!

We just got married on 10/26/19. We had a small wedding of 55 people and got married right at the venue. Anthony & Carl went above and beyond to make our wedding complete. The food was amazing and the venue was set up for the wedding ceremony and then reassembled for the reception, Thanks to the hardworking staff who set everything up. Very reasonably priced too! Thank you Anthony & Carl, it was perfect!

We went for a tasting and knew we would hire La Vera immediately. The food was excellent and Carl was so easy to work with. The price was extremely affordable. They offer so many different options and packages; it was refreshing speaking with and hiring them because they do not try to add a bunch of extra expenses. We created a package based on our likes, wants, and budget. Did I mention ALL the food is prepared fresh and homemade?! :)

We recently used La Vera Party Center for our wedding reception on 10/4/19 and we cannot say enough good things! When we booked with La Vera, I felt an immediate ease in our planning process. Anthony and his team took care of every detail and took so much stress off our shoulders. They set up all the center pieces and decor (they have center pieces included in the package to use as well if you don't have your own!). The food was AMAZING. They have so many great options and easily accommodated everything our guests needed in terms of food restrictions. Service was prompt and you can tell they have been doing this for a while. They are experts at running events like this and we can honestly say we had NO issues the day of our wedding. Communication leading up to the wedding was easy and we never had any issues reaching or meeting with them. Anthony and his team were so kind to meet or call and talk through ALL the questions I had throughout the months leading up to the wedding. I am beyond thrilled that we ended up deciding to book with them because it made planning and execution of the day so much easier on us. We HIGHLY recommend them for weddings and any other type of event or catering you need. We are still hearing from our guests how wonderful the reception was and that is a large testament to La Vera and the work they did for us.

My husband and I had our wedding here and both our boys had there reception here as well. Very professional and easy to work with. Everything was displayed beautifully as usual. My daughter in law was extremely happy when she entered the hall and just kept saying how beautiful it looked.

So far we they have been great! If we have any questions they are sure to get back with us in a timely manner and very easy to work with! We are looking forward to having our wedding there this June!

We had our wedding at La Vera 9-8-18. We cannot say enough good things about this place and the wonderful people there. If you want to have a venue where you don't want to worry about anything, this is the place. Anthony and his family were amazing during the entire wedding process. He met with us and allowed us to come in as many times as we want/needed for planning our wedding or just asking questions. Anything we wanted, Anthony allowed. He made the entire thing so much less stressful.
He allowed us to bring in all of our decorations a few days before. We were in the crystal room and it was beautiful! Anthony has the Chiavari chairs for all of the tables that are included in booking with him (which was an additional cost for those chairs at every other venue we had looked at prior). Another unique thing about this venue is that they allow you to bring your own alcohol, which is a huge bonus! They are also very flexible, and will extend your hall time if you choose to keep the party going. Staff assists with set-up and take down and all of the linens were included. Another benefit is that our cake was included in the hall fee and it too was not only beautiful, but so delicious! All of the food was absolutely amazing and all of our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! Anything we wanted, Anthony made happen. Anthony offers an ice bar, which we had never heard of before, but it was worth every penny. It Is a total eye catcher, and we filled it with open crab legs/claws, ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and sushi. They had even made us a plate for our table to make sure we got to try everything. Anthony even coached us on how to cut the cake when he saw us visibly struggling. He also gave a really nice, short speech during our wedding. You really cannot go wrong with this place. Everything from beginning to end with them was amazing and they helped make the entire day and process way less stressful. I would recommend La Vera to anybody.

Choosing La Vera as my reception venue was the single best decision i made for our wedding. It made everything easy! They include the food, the bartenders, the cake, the linens and napkins, the centerpieces... They were extremely flexible when any changes needed to be made in terms of timing as well. The food was absolutely amazing. We chose family style, and my guests were stuffed to the brim! The staff and owners were so nice and treated everybody like family. Great prices! They are located very close to hotels which made shuttle service easy. The crystal room is absolutely beautiful, and they did a great job of setting up all my decorations I brought along. Plenty of room for the tables and the dance floor. Thanks again!

Recently had our wedding this past December at La Vera Party Center. It only took 5 minutes after meeting Anthony to know La Vera was the right hall for us. He is so laid back, easy to work with, professional and does not pressure you at all -- which was important to us. Felt like working with family when working with Anthony. We booked the crystal room which is absolutely stunning! It was everything we were looking for – elegant, classy and just beautiful. The food was beyond phenomenal and was all homemade. Our guests would not stop complimenting us on how beautiful the hall was and how delicious he food was. Anthony and his staff made our wedding day run so smoothly that we did not have to worry about anything because Anthony had it covered. Thank you so much Anthony and everyone at La Vera for making our wedding day perfect!

Everything about LaVera is exceptional. The staff, the food, the cake selection; they have it all. In our family we have everything at LaVera, it wasn’t a question in mind to have my wedding anywhere else. If your not having your wedding reception there, your arevreally a square!

I cannot say enough nice things about working with LaVera! Anthony (the person we interfaced with the most) was absolutely wonderful! When you are planning a wedding things can get pretty stressful especially if you have never helped plan before. Anthony helped me put together a lot of loose ends giving recommendations of other vendors he knew were great and helped us coordinate our day. The flexibility of the staff was outstanding; we were able to arrange our reception exactly the way we wanted it without having any push back about what was "traditional," if we wanted our dance right when we got there followed by a cake cutting that was fine, if we wanted to wait an hour after we got there that was fine too.

Now down to the important stuff... The food! Our wedding guests are still raving about the wonderful assortment of food that we chose for our event. We planned our wedding with LaVera from out of town so we didn't have the ability to try to food before the reception. A little nerve wracking except for their wonderful reputation! The apps, main meal, and dessert spread were beautifully arranged (we did the buffets), and equally delicious.

I wholeheartedly recommend LaVera to anyone planning their wedding or any event for that matter!

Anthony and his staff are amazing! They made planning our wedding reception so easy, gave suggestions and kept in contact for over a year and a half! I received so many compliments about how beautiful everything was and how great the food tasted! Anthony was present and made himself available during our entire six hour reception. They took our vision and made it better than expected! Perfect venue for ANY couple!

LaVera Party Center did an amazing job at our wedding on July 29, 2016, we could not have asked for better service. Anthony and his entire staff were accommodating, friendly, hard working and all around displayed great coustomer service. During the reception servers frequently made sure that we had everything that we needed and reminded us to come and see the displayed food before guests got to it. The Italian style food was nothing short of amazing and we received an abundance amount of compliments from our guests. My husband and I would recommend LaVera for any type of event, especially if you want a gorgeous venue and good food.

I would recommend LaVera to everyone. Anthony is the best. The food was excellent. We received so many compliments on the food and the decorations! My husband and I had a wonderful reception!!!!

Throughout the entire planning process, we had little to no stress thanks to LaVera. They are affordable, fancy, pleasant to work with, and so on. They really do go out of their way to make your day special. As far as I heard, there were very little hiccups in the day, but I don't believe any large event can go off without a hitch. As I said, it was very easy to remain calm before the big day with LaVera on our side. We dropped off our decorations and they set them up and took them down. We would definitely choose them again knowing how our experience went, no doubt!

I want to give the family and staff at LaVera Party Center a raving review! They were wonderful to us down to every last detail. We were in contact with Anthony constantly and he worked with our every request. We were able to do everything we dreamed of doing for our wedding. The Crystal Room is beautiful standing alone, but when we added our decorations it looked absolutely breathtaking for our ceremony and reception. The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went effortlessly smooth. The food was fantastic! They provided us with appetizers, a huge salad bar, dinner buffet and pastries/desserts on top of our wedding cake. I would recommend LaVera to anyone who is looking for a venue in the Willoughby Hills area.

AMAZING!!! Wow Anthony and the entire LaVera staff helped make our wedding the most special day of our lives! From the moment I set foot into the crystal room, I knew that this was the venue that I wanted! Beautiful, elegant, classic, romantic are just some of the words to describe this venue! Anthony was extremely helpful in all of the preparation for our wedding day, and his mom Angie took care of all the setting up the morning of with all of the decorations I brought and even allowed me to use things she had as well! If you are in search of a beautiful setting, delicious food, stress free planning, affordable and flexible, LaVera is hands down an amazing choice for your big day!

Anthony was very knowledgeable and polite when meeting to discus details leading up to the day of the wedding. The venue definitely lived up to our expectations. The food was delicious and the staff was quick and efficient. They were also the most reasonably priced venue we found in the area. This is a family owned business that takes pride in everything they do. I would recommend LaVera Party Center to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Great place! I would recommend it to anyone!

We recently had our wedding at La Vera. Anthony Jr. took care of us from the first time we called to inquire about their location for our wedding to hold ~240 people. Anthony let us come on a Friday night to try their food for free. Other locations we were looking at were charging approximately 50+ dollars per person to try their food.

Anthony always got right back to me with any questions that I had. The food on our wedding night was unbelievable! We ate family style and each meal came out promptly after the other. The guests were commenting how delicious the salad dressing, the pasta sauce, the potatoes, the beef tenderloin and the chicken were! I strongly advise you to give Anthony a call!!

Anthony gave us suggestions on different vendors who were affordable and great! Instead of this being a difficult process, Anthony made it easy and affordable. Anthony also bought back some of our alcohol.

We had the most amazing experience with LaVera! I am sorry it took so long for me to write a review. Anthony was patient with us and worked within our budget. Our wedding was outside on the newly built terrace. It was absolutely beautiful. He had lighting options colored napkins and real dinnerware---not the plastic stuff other places were trying to offer us. The food was awesome. I am still getting compliments about the meatballs and chicken Marsala! Beautiful chandeliers mirrors seating---we had a ball! If you are looking for the whole package, you won't be disappointed! From Kit and Karlin Warren

Wow, Family owned and operated.... I cannot Thank everyone enoughfor everything you all your family did to make our special day, just that much more Special...We were Blown away at the attention to detail The food was outstanding and service was impeccable....Everything was first class and Dan and I would like to Thank everyone from the Bottom of our hearts!!!

WOW!!! I wouldn't recommend going ANYWHERE else!!! The food was fantastic... The customer service was over the top!!! The price was VERY affordable! The staff was incredible!! They set up and tore down for us... Just AMAZING!!! Seriously... I can't believe how incredible everyone was. I came here on the fly when another venue I had paid for fell through due to a problem with air conditioning! Anthony answered the phone and told me to come in, right then, in my pajamas!!! Omg! So I went with my son... Both in our pjs and Anthony went over what he could offer me with the budget I was on... I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!! Perfect wedding day. He and all the staff were on top of everything!!! Was way more than I ever thought I'd have on my wedding day!! Everyone RAVED about the food an service!! Immaculate! I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't chose LeVera for their wedding venue. I give my experience there a 12 out of 10.... Amazing and over the top. They went above and beyond what was expected!!!

They did an amazing job! The food was absolutely delicious! Anthony was willing to work with us on food stations. The ice/seafood bar was incredible! The staff was great! Very kind, professional and accommodating to everything we asked for! The decor was beautiful and my overall experience was great! I would not change a thing and could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding!!

Anthony and his family did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! Everything was perfect and all of our guests were extremely happy with the food and the service. Highly recommend La Vera you cannot go wrong with this place!

Phenomenal.....That is the easiest way to describe our experience with La Vera for our sons wedding. Anthony, Mary and the entire staff at La vera were simply outstanding.

The room was set up beautifully, the food was great, as usual, and the entire experience was a pleasure. Our guests could not have been more complimentary of the entire evening.

Thank you La Vera for helping make our son and daughter in-law's day very special

Anthony, Tony and all the staff at LaVera were great. The food was amazing, the room was so beautiful, and they were totally accommodating, professional and affordable. All the guests were talking about how beautiful everything was, and how delicious the food was. It was perfect!!

I just had my wedding at Lavera last Friday and cannot believe the compliments I'm receiving from last week!!! Lavera went above and beyond my expectations and everything went perfect!!!!!! I cannot thank the staff at lavera for making my wedding day so magical! The food was absolutely amazing!! I've never had so many people come up to me raving how fabulous the food was!!! The staff was so on top of everything! Everything was just perfect!!!! Just perfect!!! I recommend Lavera to anyone and everyone!! You will not be disappointed!! Anthony is just a joy to work with!!! Love him!! And love everyone at Lavera!!! Thank you again for making my day perfect!!! :)

We could not say enough great things about LaVera Party Center, Anthony and the staff. I’m so glad that we decided to have our wedding at LaVera and I would advise anyone looking in the area to take a look at LaVera. Anthony gave us his opinion when we needed advice and catered to our every need. We literally had him on speed dial!! He really went out of his way to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly and I felt completely at ease before and during the wedding. They will take care of you and your guests at the wedding and go above and beyond. The food was absolutely amazing; one of the compliments I received from every guest was how great the food was! I did not hear one complaint from any of our guests about anything! I also loved the rooms they have at the venue. Each room had a unique look and I was in awe when I entered the room for the first time the night of the wedding. Anthony and his staff are amazing to work with and you will not be disappointed. Two months after the wedding and I’m still receiving compliments from guests about how our wedding was one of the best they ever attended! If you are searching for the perfect venue; LaVera wins hands down!!!

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! I can't say enough good things about the quality of service received at LaVera. Everyone was so friendly and willing to accommodate us in every way! The friendliness of all of the staff made them a pleasure to deal with! Anthony and his father are wonderful and you can tell they love doing what they do! The food was fantastic, the rooms beautiful, the bathrooms clean, the property wonderful, and the experience phenomenal! A big thanks to everyone for making our reception fantastic!

Everyone we spoke to at LaVera was very nice and willing to help any way possible. When we first saw the venue we were excited about the "vintage" feel of one of their rooms and could not wait to taste their food. Unfortunately, we were not impressed. When we spoke to several friends and family members, they could not stop speaking about how great the food was, so we decided to ask to retaste. LaVera was more than willing to let us taste again and this time we were thrilled! We were able to talk to the chief and plan the menu exactly the way we wanted. The day of the wedding the food was fantastic. We still have people talking about the chicken and pasta courses. We could not have been happier with the professionalism of the entire venue and how much everyone wanted to make sure we were happy with everything we wanted.

I was so happy with how my reception turned out at La Vera! People are still talking about how great the food was and how friendly and accomodating the staff was. I would definitely recommend having any event at La Vera. Anthony is a BOSS when it comes to getting things done and making sure they are done right!

When I think of excellence, the very first thing that comes to my mind is LaVera. Originally we had booked the Croatian Hall for our reception and after the staff lying to us, and being rude,we decided to find a different location. After seeing LaVera, I knew that's where I wanted to be. From day 1, all of the LaVera staff was there for us 100%. They called regularly to check in, wanted to know what questions we had each step of the way and told us they would do whatever it takes to make our day amazing! And that they did. The day of the reception I walked in, and the view took my breath away. It was beautiful!! Anthony approached me and gave me a hug and told me that he was there for ME for whatever I needed that night! And that he was! Now mind you, Anthony is the owner, I never even expected to see him on that day let alone be in the action and doing all he could to make the day perfect! He was there clearing tab.es, helping with cake cutting, poring drinks behind the bar, bringing out food, all the while regularly checking I'm ,e and my husband to make sure we were having the night of our lives. I found out later that he even checked on my mom to make sure she was having fun!! The crazy part is, he was somehow helping out at the other wedding going on too!! I don't knowhow he did it, but he made me feel like the only person he was working with and he executed everything perfectly. The little cuteItalian lady even went and grabbed the MOB and MOG and said "come on the dessert is out," she was very sad when she brought them to the dessert Buffet and realized almost everything was gone! Everyone says the food and the dessert was fantastic!! Not a single complaint! I must say though, by far th best memory I have and the little moment that had the most impact was when Anthony came up to me and asked how my night was, then turned me around and told me to take a deep breath stop and take it all in! That I would want to remember it forever! And thanks to LaVera we will!

Amazing !!! Love Anthony ...... He made our night the best night of our lives!!

Anthony and Carol did a great job they met everyone of our needs. The foods was amazing and they were very easy to work with.

WOW! I don't even know where to begin with this review! Anthony and his family went ABOVE & BEYOND with our wedding! The quality of customer service is unlike anything I have ever experienced! I feel like a part of their family now! Everything from start to finish was perfect and they paid close attention to every single crazy detail that I desired. I wish I could do it all over again! The food was fantastic, bar tenders very friendly and the entire staff very attentive. They deserve more than just a five star rating! I highly reccommend this venue for anyone that is looking for a top notch venue for their event. Best Time Ever!

Amazing!!! I loved the hall (crystal room)!!

The food was awesome, came out hot, fresh and delicious. My guests certainly did not leave hungry. Anthony was fantastic, so polite and just on top of everything. I was so impressed with the reception and my cake was included in my package and i loved it. Just amazing!

All of our guests raved about La Vera and their phenomenal food! I can't say enough good things about them! Your guests will not go hungry and Anthony and his staff will take care of anything you need! I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a reasonably priced venue in Cleveland (cake included and your bring in your own alcohol, which definitely cuts down the cost). The only drawback for me was the location - I wanted something downtown with a nice view - but you can't have it all I guess.

Anthony and his staff were awesome. So much fun and well organized. The food was delicious! Thank you so much!

La Vera Party Center was absolutely amazing! Their value for cost was exactly what we were looking for - wonderful service at half the cost of the other places we looked. Anthony and his family were more than happy to help with anything we called about, and our wedding was flawless. We couldn't have been happier!

La-Vera had us covered in every shape and form. Also, prior to our event they added some back drop lighting to their decor, which made the room look even more spectacular. Anthony took care of us and responded very quickly to all emails. Every phone call was answered and all questions were immediately answered. They were a pleasure to deal with and all of our guests left happy!

Anthony Verdone took care of us and our family from the very start. Every detail was taken care of. The cake is also included when you book with this venue and they go through Cakes by Maria and Joe. Our ceremony and reception were both held in the "Crystal" room. On Saturdays they do require a 200 minimum with no exceptions at which you are told from the very start. Anthony and his crew were very professional with everything they did for us and our guests. Another perk to this venue is you provide your own alcohol, in which saved us a lot money compared to other venues in the area. Our guests were very impressed with the food, and especially raved about their homemade meatballs, dessert selections, and the ambiance of the room. We couldn't be happier to have chosen La Vera for taking care of us on our special day.

Anthony and team did a great job. Hall looked great and food was AMAZING! We got compliments all week about the food. Only compliment is we had told them a certsin liquor was for groom only and they did not communicate with each other so they served entire bottle to the guests. But everything else was great and Anthony was always easy to get a hold of.-

Everyone who worked at LaVera was very accommodating and willing to work with us. They made the night so incredible.

If you are looking for a beautiful venue that has it all, does it all, and feels like the perfect place to have a party with family and friends, this is it. The rooms were magnificent, and didn't need any help from an outside decorator. We used the Tuscan room. It is classic mirrors, lights, soft elegance, and a neutral creme colored palate to work with.

It is family owned, and we had the pleasure of working with both the father and son. They made sure everything went smoothly for the entire night, working with our MC and DJ, and our timeline, to keep people fed and the party hopping all night long. The food was delicious Italian-American style wedding food, and reasonably priced. We were also permitted to bring our own alcohol selections where they provide the bartenders. This worked out very well for us, seeing as we could get the selection of beverages targeted to what our group of friends and family enjoy (saving us some money).

I would use LaVera for any large family party I am looking to have in the future! And I would recommend them to anyone else looking to do the same!!

I had the most wonderful experience with La Vera that any bride could hope for. All of the staff was very accommodating and willing to do whatever they could to ensure that our day was perfect. I highly recommend La Vera for a reception and ceremony site.

daughter had her wedding and reception at LaVera. I have to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had with a venue. They were professional, kind, helpful, friendly and most importantly reasonably priced for all that you receive. Everything was beautiful. I most definitely recommend them. Sam and his staff went above and beyond.

I wasn't able to get the room that I wanted, but the wedding& reception still turned BEAUTIFULLY!

Everyone was pretty happy with the food. It was sit down, family style Italian food. I heard people raving about the pizza being served during coctail hour. I wasn't crazy about the pasta sauce, but others seemed to like it. The guy that runs the place seemed very aloof. During my consultation, he never made me feel special. I had an appointment for the food tasting, but the kitchen didn't even know I was coming. They sat me down at a table with other brides, but no one ever came to check on us. They gave us our food, and left. It seemed like they were really busy in the kitchen, maybe preparing for another event. The owner's son got my name wrong twice during the same conversation. They recommended a DJ that I did not go with, but then I later found out that the DJ went out of business. I felt like just a number, just a dollar sign.

If you never take my advice on anything else… PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE FOR YOU’RE WEDDING! Story time so please bear with me! My brother and sister-in-law booked this venue for their wedding. They worked with Sam the entire time during planning. 1st issue… La Vera wanted to host a brunch the same day. My siblings were asked if they would mind. Their wedding planner advised that it would conflict with the time. La Vera still hosted the brunch cutting into the time that the decorator needed for set up. ( Money talks so whatever) Sam still attempted to accommodate them. 2nd issue… changes had to be made to the guest list. Carl instantly got upset and increased the price of his wedding. Carl had already received OVER $10,000 dollars! Essentially still charging him for guest that wouldn’t be in attendance. He spoke to my brother, his wife and mother in law in an extremely disrespectful tone. He became extremely hostile and was rude and unprofessional! Sam continuously apologized for the owner’s behavior! He obviously knew this was unacceptable! (I personally heard Sam apologize several times) NOWWWWW it’s the big day!!! A police officer confided in a guest and told her he was instructed to FOLLOW THE GROOM…There were SEVERAL OFFICERS there posing as a security measure! My brother was treated like a criminal at his wedding! Several of his guest were turned away including people who traveled from out of town. The owner CARL and his staff were RUDE!!!! They were slamming plates on table(a guest hard her water spilled on her) Another guest was told to “MOVE OUT THE WAY” by staff! Guest who were supposed to be served dinner didn’t get served food including the mother of the bride, some of the bridal party and some out of state guest! My brother paid for security yet he had to remove STRANGERS from his wedding who were being served alcohol at the bar because “HIS SISTER WORKS THERE” and the owner told him it was ok! The OWNER was so unprofessional (including his attire) He attempted to shut down the venue an hour before he was supposed to! The Dj was told to leave! Several guest mentioned how uncomfortable it was for and left! Please don’t be a victim of this place
