    Elegant place and delicious food!

    Thank you Testa’s and Veronica! You are the best, I don’t know what I would of done without you! Every time I turned around you were there checking on everything, bringing cocktails and food, and letting us know step by step what was going on! Everything was set up perfectly and the food was delicious! Totally impressed by you and the staff! The best decision we made for our special day! Terry & Suzanne-2/19/23

    An unforgettable evening for a fraction of the price!

    A venue I don’t see mentioned much, but we had the absolute best wedding this Saturday is Testa's Banquet Facility! Literally the perfect venue at a fraction of the cost of some of the more well known locations in the area like Aria and Aqua Turf - which don’t get me wrong are stunning, but often overdone in my opinion. Not only Is it not overused, which gives it its own charm, it’s family owned and you feel like family from the time you book- never just a number. Enzo and Veronica are extremely flexible and accommodating, answering any and all questions I had no matter how crazy. When I got COVID 11 days before my wedding I didn’t have to worry because Veronica was on top of it.

    My guests and family cannot stop raving about the food, flowing drinks and overall service. The aesthetic is also unmatched. We were initially concerned considering we had a larger wedding ~190 guests and we’d never attended an event here but this was the PERFECT space. Not too big to feel overwhelming and not too small to feel cramped. We used both rooms and highly recommend Testa’s for any of your event needs.

    I’ll update with pics once we get them back from our photographer!

    Testa's Banquet Facility's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that you had a great experience with us and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

    Beautiful Venue with Delicious Food

    We booked Testa’s Banquet Facility for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception this past October. If we could give Enzo and the rest of the staff a rating higher than 5 stars we most certainly would! From the start of our wedding planning, Enzo was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, kind, and informative. Enzo was very responsive, answering the many questions I had while planning a wedding during a pandemic. His responses were always timely. Fast forward to wedding day, and again nothing but a positive experience. The decor and room set up was done beautifully! It really looked gorgeous and truly matched my vision of what I wanted my ceremony/reception room to look like. Both Enzo and Veronica did an awesome job from the beginning of the night to the end. Everything flowed so smoothly, despite my worries. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were not only with the taste, but the portions as well. Enzo and the rest of the staff took great care of us and our guests all night. If you are looking for a beautiful; yet affordable venue with delicious food and attentive staff, Testa’s is the place for you. Thank you Enzo and staff for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

    Ashley & Enzo & the entire staff at Testa's were ABSOLUTELY amazing! From the moment I was getting ready Ashley was by my side asking if I needed anything making sure we were all set in the suite. She was there every step of the way. Ceremony room was sooo beauitiful and the reception room was omg beautiful. We got married Aug 12, 2017 and let me tell you if I could do it all over again I would book Testa's in a heartbeat. Wouldn't have change one thing. Thank you for making our day so stress free. And the food was "AMAZING" I had people telling me how much they loved the food & how it was delish & warm. I can't say anything bad about this venue because it was so perfect. I didn't want the night to end that's for sure. So once again, Thank you! I will definitely recommend this venue to everyone. If I could give you a 10+ or an A+ It was a day that I will NEVER forget. Thank you!

    Testa's was an amazing venue for my wedding. We used the winter package, which included everything we wanted, plus they were able to include our cake and all decorations, including table flowers. They accommodated all of our needs, especially my husband's food allergy. We did have some issues come up during planning, but Ashley was able to help with all of them.

    Enzo and his team made our wedding day perfect. All our guests were raving about the food. It was all so delicious. Every detail went over and above our expectations. The staff was excellent throughout the entire night. They were very professional and they really catered to our guests and my husband and I. Excellent venue!

    We had our wedding at Testas and everything was beautiful. The reception was beautiful. People were raving about the food and how much of it that there was. I will definately recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great meal at a beautiful place. Also, Enzo put me in touch with a dj and a bakery that were both amazing!

    This was the best place to have a wedding. I recently had a wedding there and the food was amazing and everyone loved the meatballs. All of the entrees were moist considering we got lobster tails, filet and a chicken (which can be dry if not done correctly) No one was disappointed by the food there. The place was beautiful and the staff was super responsive. A member of my bridal party does not eat meat and the staff made sure to bring up some meatless choices during our cocktail hour. I would highly recommend this place for a wedding reception. We also got the centerpieces, the cake and DJ included in the price of the reception. The centerpieces were great since they are tall and people were able to talk to the person sitting across from them.

    First off the food choices for the price included lobster, filet mignon etc.

    Not your typical wedding food of stuffed chicken, cheap salmon etc.

    We also received a pasta course, open bar, a ton of vegetables with our meal and three premium appetizers (clams casino, bacon scallops, and seafood mushrooms.

    For less than 100$ per person with tax, gratuity.

    Compared to anywhere else Testas is a bargain. It still hurt handing over a check that was 8 months of mortgage payments but they were the best bang for their buck.

    The facility is clean and very well maintained.

    Ashley was great as was the whole staff.

    The food again was incredible and myself and some of our guests are not easy to please when it comes to quality food.

    The only thing that stinks is that they have two time slots unless you pay a hefty price to rent for the whole day. They have a 12-5 and a 6:30 to 11:30.

    For a Saturday wedding we opted for the later time that was a little bit too late but everything went off without a hitch.

    Ashley was funny and didnt act pretentious like some of the other venues we looked at. She didn’t act like we were privileged to have our wedding there she appreciated us having our wedding there.

    We loved our wedding! We chose the Winter Wonderland package and it was well worth it! Ashley and the team made wedding planning so simple. Ashley is very reliable and fun to work with! Our food was phenomenal, though dinner did take longer than expected. However, being able to loop our cake and DJ in with the entire wedding package made it all worth it. Our guests raved about the simple elegance brought by the facility and blown away by the food! We definitely made the right choice.

    Enzo made my day perfect! He had all the final details to a T! I could not have asked for anything better. My husband & I was always taken care of. Never once had I have to ask or stress about anything. They did all the work for me. Its a wonderful, inexpensive venue with GREAT food! My guest still talk about how wonderful the food and drinks were!
