    Exceptional!!!!

    Since I was a teenager, after having attended a couple weddings at the Venetian, I just knew it would be my dream venue when I got married. Now, I can officially say, it really was a dream come true and surpassed my expectations!

    From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were blown away by the venue's charm and elegance. The staff's warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease. They were professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

    The food was absolutely divine! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the mouthwatering dishes. Even our Italian relatives, known for their discerning taste buds, were thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors and impeccable presentation!

    Throughout the entire event, the venue staff were on the ball, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were meticulous in their attention to detail and didn't miss a beat. From coordinating with our vendors to accommodating last-minute requests, they made everything feel effortless.

    The ambiance in the Palazzo room is so romantic, and it’s walking down those stairs is like a fairytale!

    We are beyond grateful to the entire team for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone in search of a dream wedding location. If you want a flawless and memorable celebration, this venue is the one to choose!

    Thank you to everyone at the Venetian for making our special day truly magical!

    The Venetian

    I would like to thank the Lead person Maggie and Natalie and young, pretty blonde hair girl who were very attentive and kind to me and my family.
    We attended my Son’s wedding here Saturday and was so amazed of the care and professionalism put forth by them. They made me feel like a Queen~ which I am…..
    with love and gratitude always, Paula Magone

    Incredible

    Absolutely amazing experience. Having to postpone from 1/2/21 to 1/8/22, the Venetian was extremely accommodating and made our wedding the best day ever. They are so amazing to work with and gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. My guest are still talking about the food ! 10/10 recommended!

    Amazing!

    The Venetian was absolutely amazing to work with. Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times and each time Toniann offered reassurance that our day would still be perfect. From start to finish I can't say enough about the staff and venue. Carolina our bridal attendant and Val our maître d went above and beyond throughout the whole day. We highly recommend!!

    Best venue ever

    If I could give the Venetian 100 stars I would. From the moment I walked through their doors I knew that the Venetian was the venue for me. Its beauty is one of a kind and the staff is the best out there. I had never been to a wedding at the Venetian before, but I heard so many great things. It is an experience like I cannot even describe. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and the Venetian treated me, my family, and my guests like royalty. They do not miss a single detail. And the food is not only DELICIOUS but there is SO MUCH. Your guests will be talking about your wedding for weeks. I had my wedding during a pandemic and It was STILL a dream come true. I cannot thank them enough

    Amazing Venue

    As soon as we walked into The Venetian after seeing over 10 venues we know this was where we wanted our wedding to be. They were amazing and made sure that everything was perfect on the day of our wedding. The staff was professional and friendly and the food omg the food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about the food. If you are searching for a venue look no further. Our wedding day was magical and everything looked beautiful. The only suggestion I would make is designating a person to be there for all appts we had several appts and each time it was with a different person. It wasn’t a big deal because they were all nice but I personally would have preferred having to deal with one person. Thank you to The Venetian and their staff for making our big day nothing less than perfect.

    If only we could give them 6 Stars!

    My wife and I booked our wedding reception in the Grand Ball Room and the entire event was truly amazing! Everything from the initial meetings to plan all the details to the execution of the reception itself was outstanding. Their Bridal Attendant, Carolina, was so considerate and made sure my wife was always taken care of. Our guests are still talking about the amazing cocktail hour and the truly incredible food from the dinner. The ambience of the Grand Ball Room was exactly what we wanted and the addition of the LED Lighting package and Screens helped further enhance our special day.

    20/10 no hesitation

    Phenomenal staff, BEAUTIFUL venue, incredible food, top shelf drinks... can’t possibly compete! They are a premier wedding venue and we didn’t get a full look until the ballroom but we knew. Their reputation precedes them. We didn’t have a tasting but didn’t need one. They are KNOWN for their cocktail hour and I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on the venue in terms of food. If you’re hesitant about the Venetian, look no further. They are the one stop shop. They handle everything with ease. BOOK THEM!

    High School event

    We just held our school event here on 3/5/19. The service, professionalism and overall experience was beyond satisfactory. Everyone took care of any need or want. The entire staff went above and beyond to help in any way. Highly recommend The Venetian for any occasion. Thank you!

    Best Night Ever!

    The Venetian has been my dream wedding venue for about ten years! My fiancé did not have much of a choice when it came to our venue. They were so accommodating and wonderful throughout the whole process! I would have to say our best experience was the night of our wedding. We were basically treated like a king and queen for the night, as were our parents! The food was nothing short of amazing, as always, and our bridal attendant, Sylvia, and Maitre'D, Filipe, were the best!! They were there to help us and were always several steps ahead of us - in a good way! Our glasses were always full and Sylvia was kind enough to wrap whatever I didn't eat of my dinner. It was the best night!!

    My husband & I got married here on Friday August 17, 2018 & it was beyond perfect. The Venetian staff is truly one of a kind & treat you like complete royalty. The whole planning process was a breeze with Nora who booked us the venue to Barbara who helped us design the wedding menu. Everyone is friendly, attentive & caters to every want, need & desire you could ever want for your wedding day. On the day of the wedding we had Victor who made sure our day ran as smooth as possible. Everything was beyond perfect & if there was any issues me and my husband never knew! I had Lorna as my bridal attendant & she was truly the best ever. She followed me around all night, holding the back of my dress for me, carrying my bouquet, got my bridal party & myself anything we need from drinks, to hairspray, to tampons to coffees. She truly help keep my sanity on my wedding day. The Venetian has the most extensive cocktail hour, Viennese hour & dinner selection and worth every single penny. We have so many people still ranting about how our wedding was “the best wedding ever” i highly recommend The Venetian for anyone who wants their fairytale wedding.

    I couldn’t say more positive things about The Venetian. It was an experience I will never forget on the best day of my life. We had our wedding at the Venetian this Spring and I can honestly say that it was the best venue I have ever been to. Our maître d (Felipe) and bridal attendant (Aneta) took amazing care of us. I cannot begin to describe the level of service of the staff. Anything that we needed, we had, immediately. Not only did they take fabulous care of us they took amazing care of our families and our guests. They throw the best party in the world. Our family and friends keep raving about the food, service, room and all around whole experience. Worth every penny. Thank you to the entire team at the Venetian for an absolutely FLAWLESS experience!

    Our wedding was simply amazing!! The Venetian is THE BEST venue in all of New Jersey -- it's beautiful, it's classy and they make your wedding happen exactly the way you imagined it. Every t was crossed, every i was dotted. We had the most perfect reception and the most perfect day. This place is well known and top rated for a reason!! People will be talking about your cocktail hour and how beautiful it is for months. No one has food or service quite like The Venetian! Mags, my bridal attendant was beyond amazing and my husband and our parents were treated like royalty the entire night. Everyone commented on how excellent their table service was and there was not a single person who had to wait for a drink. If you want a gorgeous reception and excellent service, you can't go wrong here. - Katie & Craig 7/27/17

    My wife and I got married on August 6, 2017 and the Venetian went above and beyond as they always do. As a DJ in the wedding business, this venue is an easy choice. The most difficult thing about the Venetian is deciding what aspect is the best. The food? The gorgeous building? The service? All top notch.
    Regardless of if you work with Toni Ann, Jerry, George, John, AB, Carlos, Barbara, Magda, or any of their staff, you will have an unbelievable night. The best cocktail hour and the best vienesse table around!

    I am BEYOND happy that we chose The Venetian as a wedding venue. The service was impeccable, I was really nervous going into it about the flow of the night but there were multiple people by our side every step of the way; we were treated like royalty. Our families are Russian and they were able to accommodate any of our requests including adding extra bottles on the tables. I have never had food this good at a wedding and I was so proud to have gotten married there. The dessert hour is worth every penny, our guests were floored, the presentation was jaw-dropping. They also had the best, largest cocktail hour we have ever seen. There were so many flowers already provided by the venue that made our cocktail hour feel grand. They personalized everything and were so easy to work with. All of our signs and details were arranged perfectly. I had the best day of my life thanks to The Venetian and want to do it again a million times over. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a flawless, perfectly executed, delicious wedding.

    Love,
    Rachel & Robert

    Both my sister and I got married at The Venetian. It's a gorgeous space with amazing food that will not disappoint your guests but best of all their professionalism and attention to every little detail was amazing. The entire staff was so accommodating and we couldn't have asked for more on our wedding day!

    Just AMAZING!!!!!! The food is beyond amazing, the service is second to none and the staff is so incredibly helpful. We knew we were going to get married here the minute we stepped food in the door and we are so glad we did. I would recommend The Venetian to anyone that wants to have an unforgettable event! Thank you Jimmy & staff.

    We had the best experience with the Venetian for our reception. Our guest were wowed by the look of the venue and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Everyone was stuffed by the end. The only complaint from our guest is that the servers took plates too quickly. Other than this everything was perfect.

    The Venetian is the best wedding venue, and we would get married there again in a heartbeat! The entire wedding planning process is so easy and stress free. The Venetian takes care of everything and you don't have nothing to worry about anything. You're treated like royalty on the day of your wedding with personal attendants at your service making sure that everything is going smoothly, as well as making sure you don't miss out on any of the food or drinks. Highly recommend the Venetian dessert hour! We continue to receive compliments from our guests about how incredible everything was!

    Incredible. The Venetian really goes above and beyond to create the most seamless wedding reception. My husband and I were treated like absolute royalty. Most couples don't even have time to eat at their own wedding, the Venetian makes sure you eat, you go to the bathroom, you have a drink, everything and anything you need they are a second away assisting you. My bustle kept coming undone, Michelle (one of the matride') was right behind me with pins making sure my gown was secure. Our parents were tended to the exact same way. I can continue to go on and on about how amazing the Venetian is but you will not understand until you have your own wedding there. It is really worth it, money well spent!

    Amazing Venue!!!
    My husband & I had our wedding here and our experience was OUTSTANDING!!! From the moment we arrived to us having to say goodbye, they treated us like Royalty.. The service was great! I can't even begin to explain how accommodating, friendly & professional everyone was. The food speaks for itself all of our guest raved about the Cocktail HR & The Viennese GREAT.. My husband & I joke around saying that we hope to have friends get married here so that we could enjoy the food and relive the experience.

    AMAZING VENUE! It was such a pleasure to work with Nora, Barbara and AB (our maitre'd). No matter what I asked for, they were accommodating. The food is top notch! They gave us 2 dinners to take home, we froze them while away on our honeymoon and they were just as delicious heated up as they were at the wedding. Our guests raved about cocktail hour, the dinner and the vienesse. The room was beautiful and the lighting package was well worth it. I wish I knew someone else getting married here so I can go back!

    My wife and I had our wedding here we had nothing but a great experience. From the moment when we first arrive on our wedding day till our last dance, they made us feel like king and queen. They catered to our every request and need. The food speaks for itself all our our guests are still talking about how great our wedding was and how amazingly delicious the food was. We joke about Hoping one of our friends has a wedding here so we can enjoy the food.

    The Venetian truly provided us with a wedding to remember. The comments we received from our guests regarding the sense of grandeur and class at The Venetian were abundant and remarkable. One of our guests even called our wedding the Wedding of the Century. The professionalism and courtesy of the staff were beyond belief. Our personal attendants were extremely helpful and super professional. I really can't find the words to describe how great they were. Even as the night went on, they attended on the smallest details and were mindful of the most minute tasks, such as making sure our personal wine glasses (which were a wedding gift) were boxed back up and ready to be taken home. Along with the professionalism was the beauty of this venue. The cocktail room has a masterful design, which included an outdoor seating area, which our guests loved. The food was top-notch. They left nothing to be wanted. It was a true spoiling of the senses. The one and only thing that I would criticize is that they did not allow us to sample their food prior to signing up. But that is a minor detail since the food ended up being absolutely delicious. This venue really is a 5-star venue. I would most certainly recommend to a friend.

    I've been to plenty of weddings at the Venetian in Garfield NJ so I already knew what they were capable of. Wellllllllll they exceeded my expectations and more for my own wedding! The food was absolutely fantastic, the place is gorgeous, but most of all the SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING! I can't even begin to explain how amazing the staff was.. so accommodating, friendly, courteous, and professional! Carl was THE BEST as well as our maitre D Osama and our bridal attendant Vincenza!! The Venetian is lucky to have them! I felt like royalty!! Such an amazing day! Thank you Venetian for helping to make my wedding day a dream come true! Worth every penny.. if you're on the fence about the Venetian... DONT BE.. BOOK THEM!!

    I had my daughter's wedding last week at The Venetian in the Palazzo Room. I can't brag enough about how amazing this wedding turned out. First of all, I just want to say that Nora Hoxha was our wedding consultant and she helped us plan an amazing wedding constantly answering my numerous emails and phone calls and guiding us to a perfect wedding. I only have one child and being Italian, I wanted everything to be perfect and all I can say is that no where in NJ will you get a venue as first class as The Venetian. The food is restaurant quality, not catering hall quality. The atmosphere is so luxurious you feel like you are in Las Vegas. The service was impeccable. All of our guests said that this was the best wedding they've ever been to. The bridal attendant Ria was a godsend as she kept us all calm and was by our side for every little task we needed of her. She amazed me when my daughter's bustle broke on the dance floor and she scooped out safety pins and went under the dress and pinned it so quickly that she didn't miss a beat on the dance floor. Michael and Maggie were there to make sure that every detail of the wedding ran smoothly. All I can say is that this is the absolute perfect place to throw a wedding especially when you have picky New York and NJ people who thought it was amazing.

    You can't go wrong with the Venetian!! They have everything down to a science. Planning was easy and I had no worries the day of our wedding! I knew they would take care of everything. Anita was our Bridal Attendant and she was on point with everything I could have imagined- down to fixing my hair when I was ready to throw it up in a messy bun! The workers are in constant contact with each other using their little ear pieces so everything runs perfectly smooth. The food was out of this world- between the flavor and variety, you are treated like royalty!!! Although it's super pricey, it's worth every penny and I wouldn't question having another event there!

    The Venetian was the absolute perfect venue to host our wedding. From the moment we walked in just to look at the place, we were blown away. My now husband looked at me and said "we need to have our wedding here!" We booked it that day, and from then forward the staff was nothing but professional and a pleasure to work with. They took care of EVERYTHING. We knew we were in good hands, but then the day of the wedding came. THEY COMPLETELY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!!! My husband and I were treated like ROYALTY!! There is no other way to explain it. Our guests were amazed by the amount of food, attention to detail, I just can't put into words how simply perfect they made our wedding day. My bridal attendant went above and beyond to make sure we were having the greatest time. I can't wait to attend a wedding here that isn't my own to enjoy all that delicious food LOL.... I not only highly recommend this place, I can assure you will be disappointed if you don't have your wedding here lol

    This venue is absolutely the BEST. This venue does an outstanding job with EVERYTHING. From the 1.5 hour cocktail hour to the Viennese desert hour, this place is the best, best, best.

    They are very professional and we never had to worry about anything. They do everything for you and there are no shortcuts taken. We received countless responses from guests about how amazing the food was and the venue was.

    The decor was perfect, they did an amazing job setting up for 400 people and we will use this venue for all occasions in the future.

    Don't miss out on this wonderful venue. Thank you

    The Venetian made our dream wedding come true!

    Having visited a half dozen venues before the Venetian, a huge factor in helping us decide upon the Venetian was the professionalism and attitude exhibited by all the staff whom we came across.

    I would like to extend to the owners of the Venetian, our sincerest gratitude for operating such a top-notch establishment. We felt every Venetian employee whom we or our guests encountered within the Venetian went 'above and beyond' in customer satisfaction. Our guests had nothing but the highest praise for the beauty and elegance of the Venetian and the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff. The delicious food and Viennese display were amazing! Our guests often remarked it was the best food they had at any wedding. Our expectations were definitely exceeded! We will be highly recommending the Venetian to all our family and friends!

    We already have family members thinking about planning their next event at the Venetian! We can't wait to go back and enjoy the food and desserts as guests!

    Excellent from top to bottom. They left nothing to be desired! From the decor to the catering, there was flawless execution. Very professional, efficient and extremely helpful. Great value. We honestly could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding reception. Our families and friends continue to sing your praises! ...and I quote, "This is the best wedding we have ever been to!" Keep up the classy work and we hope to do more business with you in the future. God Bless!

    I have heard great things about The Venetian and boy did they prove everyone of them right. They made me number 1 for the whole day. I felt like I was the princess and they were there for my every need, from holding my dress to finding a back for my moms earing to sewing a button on to the grooms tux... Then to top it off they let us take all three meals home since we did not get to eat... Love this place

    Everyone at the Venetian was wonderful to work with. On our wedding day we felt like royalty. Our guests loved the food, atmosphere and their entire experience they encountered at our wedding at have not stopped talking about how wonderful everything was from the cocktail hour to the Viennese hour. Thank you so much to the management and staff for an amazing job! We were so happy and highly recommend the Venetian!

    We had our wedding reception here on Friday, July 18, 2014. The Venetian far exceeded our expectations. When we first started looking for halls for our wedding, we stopped by here and as soon as I walked in my mouth dropped. The beautiful entrance way, gardens out front, and rooms themselves were breath taking. I turned to my now husband and just said "WOW!" We were greeted right away and met with the very friendly staff who sat us down and went through every possible option we could have. We ended up booking the Venetian and we couldn't have been happier. The night of the wedding, our Matre D, Sam, and Bridal Attendant, were waiting for our arrival. They immediately introduced themselves and took us to the bridal suit/showed us around to make sure we were happy with the way the room was set up, etc. They took great care of us and our guests, and made sure we were happy throughout the night. The food was delicious and atmosphere was great. All of our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how much they enjoyed the endless abundance of food. They are all saying what a wonderful venue it was and that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to! We couldn't be happier hearing this. We are so thrilled with our decision to get married here and would highly recommend them to future brides and grooms. Thank you for an unforgettable night!! :)

    Our wedding was 10-12-14. This place is amazing!!!!! All of our guest keep talking about the food, the service and how gorgeous this place is. Our guest said they didn't even get up once for a drink, the staff always got them what they needed. We had nothing but a great experience with everyone who help us. Starting from Carl who help us with our menu, ideas, and so much more!! Ria my bridal assistant was with me every step. She fixed my dress, brought me food and drinks, packed up food for us to take home and she even went as far as putting my shoes on. I totally recommend this place! Trust me, you will not regret it! If I can't give them 10 stars I would!

    Amazing venue for my fairytale wedding! The staff was the best for every minute of the day! My bridal attendant Maggie was beyond helpful and helped me to do EVERYTHING that night! I couldn't have asked for more! She even helped me take out bobby pins from my hair at the end of the night while I waited for my shuttle to the hotel! She was always one step ahead, brought us all kinds of Food, and always was ready with a cold glass of water or a drink after dancing! Loved this venue and plan to have any future events there for my family!

    We just had our wedding there over a week ago and everything was top notch. Our wedding was in the Grand Ballroom with a guest list of 235. From the service to the staff, everyone was very professional and on top of everything. We booked our wedding with ToniAnn -- whom is awesome!!! Our Matri'd Barbara and Bridal Assistant Michelle were great as well. They had everything under control.

    Everything was setup as should and our guests are still raving about the amount and quality of food provided at the Cocktail hour. Basically, everything you can think of. The Viennesse hour was just spectacular! From the chocolate fountains, to Haagen Dazs icecream, to the cotton candy -- our guests just couldn't get enough. They even had a to-go station setup with coffee/tea & ice cream. The place just looks amazing, from the second you walk in.

    One tip is to make sure you have a bite to eat, although the whole day is hectic, make sure you get to sit down and enjoy some of the great food. I got to pick at it a little bit.

    Highly recommend! Couldn't imagine our wedding anywhere else :)

    We just had our wedding at the Venetian and everything was amazing. We had our reception in the Grand Ballroom ( The smaller room) and by no means was it small. We decided to keep the room open ( they give you a choice depending on how many people you have; we had 215) and it was so grand and everyone loved it! The dance floor was packed all night( thanks to our wonderful DJS). The day was everything I ever dreamt of. The Venetian know hows to cater to you and your guest will feel it as well.

    The cocktail hour is out of this world. Every choice you can think of was included in our price. Our guest is still talking about the lobster ravioli. Once we transferred in to Grand Ballroom the host made sure you had everything you needed all night long. The dinner was amazing as well. The Viennese hour was something I never saw before. They had every creation possible.

    It was truly an amazing day. My husband and I had our dream wedding thanks to the Venetian!

    There are no words for The Venetian. Hands down, without a doubt, the best wedding venue around. They literally go above and beyond and provide you with the best experience you can imagine. It is worth every single penny.

    I would like to thank everyone at The Venetian for the wonderful wedding for my daughter on Friday. Once our limo showed up we were ushered in and treated like royalty. Everything went smoothly. You really know how to make sure everything is perfect. The food and service were excellent. The staff at the Venetian were polite and very attentive to the guests. My guests could not get over how wonderful the cocktail hour was. Then when dinner and the desserts came out they could not believe their eyes. I would highly recommend The Venetian to anyone who wants an elegant and stress free affair that people will love. Thank you.
    Very happy mother of the bride

    Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we entered their premises, we knew this was the perfect venue for us- everything was impeccable. The staff was phenomenal, making guests feel welcome; our attendant was next to us the entire night coordinating everything and the food was by far the most incredible spread- from cocktail hour right through Viennese hour, the food impressed all! Our guests are still raving and we are so pleased with the exceptional night we had!

    Every girl dreams about her wedding day. The Venetian made our event the wedding of OUR dreams. It's not easy for my (now) husband to get excited about wedding planning. But the minute we walked into The Venetian, we both dropped our jaws. The venue itself is gorgeous, from it's marble columns to it's grandiose staircase. You feel like royalty when you're there, and on that day, they treated us like royalty. Most of the time, you couldn't even tell that our maitre d' Barbara was there, because that's how good she was! She kept everything running like clockwork, there was not one hitch. Yet if we had a need, then all of a sudden she would appear like magic. My bridal attendant Justinia was more of the same. My bridal party was posing for pics, when the girls and I realized we forgot our flowers upstairs and even though I said it was ok without them, Justinia had already run upstairs and returned with them.
    Then there was the food. Some of the most incredible food we've ever eaten. Our guests are STILL talking about the cocktail hour and the disbelief at YET another station with delicious eats. I heard awesome things about the vodka luge too, but with everything going on, my husband and I didn't quite make it there. At the end of the day, The Venetian blew our expectations out of the water. We're hoping that one of our friends books them, so can experience everything from a guest's point of view. Simply amazing.

    I would highly recommend The Venetian to anyone getting married in New Jersey! They make the wedding planning process as easy and painless as possible. Their cocktail hour is unforgettable, complete with ice sculptures, carving stations, and a raw bar. The food is plentiful, but more importantly delicious. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding night because the staff there took care of everything. They were exceedingly professional and definitely are invested in making sure your night is the best it can be.

    Thanks to the Venetian, our wedding is being referred to by family and friends as the "best wedding they have EVER been to." Seriously, we couldn't be happier with the food, the service, and the people we worked with there. The staff is so accommodating - they catered to everything we asked for and went out of their way to make it happen. Our guests are still raving about how a glass never went empty the whole night. We were treated like royalty - our parents were even served at our cocktail hour so they never even had to get up if they didn't want to. For the bouquet toss, I left my throwaway bouquet in the suite and within 30 seconds my bridal attendant had it there for me to throw. I was a lucky bride aka: I got to eat at my own wedding! We were brought a sampling of everything during the cocktail hour and they served us dinner first at the reception so we could go around thanking tables right after. I had the filet mignon and it was delicious. Too quality cuisine at the Venetian - no joke. Our Viennese Hour was massive: every sweet under the sun was there for the taking. And every tray was refilled before ever empty. Our guests were saying they have never eaten so much than they did at our wedding. After the extensively elaborate cocktail hour, they were in awe that there was a plated 4 course dinner to follow. Our cocktail hour was even upgraded to include more than we thought - wow! The night was amazing. I hope someone gets married here soon because I want to go back! I highly recommend the Venetian - it's worth every penny. If you want to feed your guests well and have your event go off without a hitch - this is definitely the place for you!

    You simply have to see this place to believe it! Their staff (Toni-Ann was my go to girl from the beginning), the décor, THE FOOD!!!!!, THE DESERTS!!!! It just makes sense. There was a treat around every corner. When the evening was over and you thought it was over, there was more... Everything was over the top and of the finest quality starting from your occasional meetings to get started and as you are planning all the way until you leave their venue after your event. I had the dream team of vendors starting with the venue The Venetian, Amore Weddings & Event Designs, Dash of Class Entertainment, Deja vu Studios, and last but definitely not least Abella Studios for cinematography. OMG Abella will give you an up close and personal look of The Venetian in Garfield, NJ. Go to Youtube. You will be absolutely blown away! The Venetian is the Best with beautiful rooms that can accommodate 100 to 2,000.

    I had my wedding reception at the Venetian in November and it was everything that I ever imagined. The service from the time that I walked into the Venetian before bookingmy wedding to my wedding day was absolutely amazing. EVERYONE seemed to really care about my wedding and were willing to go beyond expectations to make it perfect. The day of my wedding was absolutely magical. A young lady (I wish I could remember her name) from the Venetian was assigned to me throughout the entire night. She helped me with everything from fixing my dress, to taking pictures, to making sure I always had a drink, to taking a shout wipe out of her pocket the moment my dress went into my salad dressing. Not only was the service amazing but the venue is gorgeous. It was very clean and organized which I loved!!! My guests are still talking about how beautiful it was and how the food was amazing. If you book the Venetian definitely tell you guests not to eat before coming to your reception. There is so much food and it all tastes amazing. We booked the Viennese hour which not only adds an additional hour to your wedding but is out of this world. My guests are still talking about how amazing it was. What makes it even better is that the next day we returned to the Venetian and were able to take all the left over deserts home. I highly recommend the Venetian and wish I could thank them more for how perfect they made my wedding day.

    The quality of the Venetian was unlike I have ever experienced. Many of my guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, it was magical. From the second my limo pulled into the lot until the moment I got in the limo to leave, my bridal attendant was there for me every second. The entire staff was incredible and very professional. The amount and quality of food was extraordinary! I would recommend the Venetian to all future brides!!

    WOW! I had been to events at the Venetian and I was beyond impressed, but being the bride and groom at a wedding there and they make you feel like royalty. The planning process with them was so easy and they were so helpful every step of the way. I was able to leave a lot of details in their hands and everything was perfection. The amount and food and quality of food was out of this world. People are still talking about the cocktail hour saying they have never seen anything like it. The staff that assisted me, my husband and our families were absolutely amazing. They were on everything and made everything so smooth for us so we could enjoy the night. It was the wedding of my dreams at the venue of my dreams. The rooms are so beautiful they do not need a touch of decorating. The entire place is gorgeous. We were in the "smaller" room...the Grand Ballroom. We decided to hold the reception with the wall open. I think this was a smart choice because of the high energy on the dance floor. If you have a dancing crowd that gets rowdy I recommend doing the same. In conclusion I TOTALLY recommend this venue engaged couples planning their wedding.

    What can I say this place is amazing! We had our wedding there 2 weeks ago and we are still geting compliments on how it was the best wedding some of our guests have ever gone to. Yes, they are expensive and you can go places that are cheaper but you will not get the same quality of food and service. Plus, majority of the places we went to see were in the same price range. The place is absolutely beautiful, you walk in and you are amazed at how pretty it is, the food is delicious and coming from an Italian family we had very tough critics to please and they were pleasantly surprised at how tasty all the food was as well as how much was offered, the service is remarkable. Whenever you go there for any appointments during you planning process everyone is nice and very professional. I would highly recommend this place hands down.

    I don't know where to begin. I can't imagine anyone having anything negative to say. From the moment you step into the venetian you are treated like royalty. People always say a wedding can be so stressful and cause headaches etc. Never did we have any issues. I kept thinking I was missing some crucial piece because I never felt any stress. They literally took care of everything.
    The food was amazing. The cocktail hour was amazing. I was told by guests they have never been to a wedding where the salmon came out hot like it did at ours.
    I can't tell you how amazing the entire staff was. Carlos has an unbelieveable personality and constantly made us laugh it was fun when we were going on the appointments. Nora did our menu and was awesome. She had the patience of a god while my dad said what do you think about each item. :) Thank you. AD was our man of the evening and did an incredible job. My bridal attendant took care of me just as well as my own mother does. The entire experience was amazing. I can't imagine anyone saying anything else.
    Guests are still talking about the desserts and cocktail oh and the vodka.

    I'm not sure I ever read a negative review of The Venetian. From cocktail hour to the Viennese hour, this venue did not disappoint. The bridal attendant and Matre'd paid close attention to our needs and made our wedding day a dream come true. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone who wants their wedding to be the best night of their life.

    I couldn’t say anything wrong about the VENETIAN.. it was by far the best choice that was made. We didn’t have to worry about anything and if there was a question they were prompt with asking us and handling the situation so that we could enjoy our day. My guests were more than impressed with he venue, from the décor, to the food. Being an Italian, the food was a major factor in our decision, and once again they landed 5 stars in my book.
    If you can have your event at this the venue..you will not be disappointed.

    Everything at the Venetian was perfect! The planning staff leading up to the wedding was superb & answers any & every question we had. The food was PHENOMENAL (just wish I got to eat more haha) the staff the day of kept me calm & made sure that everything ran smoothly. I was told that they would not disappoint & I def wasn't! People were coming up to me telling me it was. The best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you Venetian

    Everything was absolutely perfect!

    From start to finish, working with the Venetian was a pleasure. The level of professionalism was incredible. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We didn't have a single thing to worry about at our reception and instead focused entirely on enjoying our wonderful day. Months later we are still hearing compliments!

    Thank you Venetian!

    AMAZING !!! I had a small wedding with only 116 people and we were still treated as if we were a 100,000. Wedding- the staff was amazing- the food was even better . People did not wait for their drinks- everyone had a seat during the cocktail hour and no one waited at the bar for more than 2 minutes. My bridal attendent was attentive but not annoying which was great. They catered to our every need and helped us out with what we needed. They are a great place

    The Venetian is by far the best venue for a wedding reception. I have been to weddings and other events there so it was a no brainer that I would want my own wedding there. The food is amazing and people were telling me all night that it was the best wedding they have ever been too which I have to believe because people were going out of their way to let us know. The whole next day both my husband and I were contacted by guests who wanted to tell us how great the food was as well as how beautiful the Venetian is. Every employee was great to work with from the first day we walked in to book it and they take care of so many details which makes wedding planning so much easier. You really feel like they care about you because of the way they make sure you have a perfect day. The maître d and bridal attendant were on top of everything from the moment we arrived which was a relief for the bridal party as well. They guided us through every moment and their presence allowed everyone to enjoy the night because they made sure they handled everything for us. It takes a special type of person to provide the caring service we were given and it seems that every person working at the Venetian has this wonderful quality. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding and take in every moment because of the Venetian. I had been hearing for months that the couple doesn’t get to experience their own wedding as good as the guests do so I expected to miss out on certain parts. I can say that was not true for us because the service that the Venetian provided allowed us to have a memorable experience that we could enjoy. Our main concern was for our guests to have a great time and we knew from being guests at the Venetian ourselves that they would. The Venetian makes sure that the couple has a great time and you can be sure that they will give you that amazing night that you will want to relive not because it went too fast but rather because you had that much fun.

    It was very stressful picking a wedding venue but when we went to the venetian their was no doubt in my mind that this was the best place and I was right. I did not have to worry about anything they took all of my vendors names and contacts and made sure everything went perfect. The food was cooked to perfection, anything I asked for they made sure they had even if it was hard to find. The place is gorgeous!! Your guests will always compare any wedding with your and your will be the best well worth the money.

    In one word: PERFECT! We had our wedding at The Palazzo room for around 250 guest. The ceremony and reception were both done at The Venetian and everything was perfect. All of our guest, mind you that's 250+, said the food was delicious (cocktail and main dishes) and that the service was superb. Also, we had a young lady who took care of my wife and I, and she was so polite and courteous and attentive. Service: Excellent; Food: Delicious, Place: Spectacularly Beautiful....All in all, if you're considering this venue, don't look any further, because if you book your wedding here, I guarantee that you will not regret it.

    The Venetian was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Our guests cannot stop talking about how wowwed they were the entire night with the food, service and ambience. The Venetian opened cocktail hour early for our guests since we had a fair amount of people arrive in advance. Our guests did not know where to turn first because it was a culinary extravaganza of anything that you could possibly want. The Palazzo room alone is enough to make you speechless with the grandeur of its vaulted, opera like ceilings and crystal chandeliers. The food and service during dinner was outstanding with every guest attended to in such great detail. The Viennese hour is unlike anything anyone has ever experienced and the theatrics that lead up to it (flaming bananas foster in the middle of the dance floor and moving hidden walls to reveal all the desserts) make it even more dramatic. The maitre'd and bridal attendant were the eyes and ears of everything that evening and made everything flow effortlessly and seamlessly.

    A very big thank you to Chris, ToniAnn, Denisa, Nora, Barbara and anyone else I might have missed in making this the wedding of our dreams. My husband and I were treated nothing short of royalty from the entire planning process and through the day of our wedding. The Venetian exceeded our expecations in every single way. We can't wait to experience another event at the Venetian!

    this place is top notch... my guests are STILL full from the cocktail hour!! What a place. Not only is it breathtaking but the food incredible (take the word of the 250 guests). PS: save room for the Venetian hour!

    The staff is incredible. Our matrie de and bridal attendant were always there for us and our guests. They worked extremely hard to make us happy.. and they did!

    I really hope someone I know gets married there so I will be able to go back and enjoy all the amazing food!!
