    A Perfect Evening

    From start to finish, Venuti’s exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding venue. The space is truly beautiful, the food was outstanding, and their support of our wedding day was first-rate. They accommodated our special requests and truly made us feel important. We felt that we had excellent communication with Ciara and we highly recommend Venuti’s as a wedding venue. The detailed notes they took and executed for the day of set up was done perfectly. We plan on going back for anniversary dinners! Thank you, Venuti’s!

    Beautiful Venue

    My husband and I can not say enough great things about having our wedding ceremony and reception at Venuti’s. We had the pleasure to work with Karen. She was personable, prompt, friendly, and organized. She made the whole wedding process easy and made us feel better about everything that we may have been stressing about along the way. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing for large groups (180 guests!) and they even got it to lightly snow outside for us, turning it into a winter wonderland. Seriously, we got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and how GREAT the food was. The linens and decorations that come with the venue are beautiful so we didn’t need to spend extra money on extra things such as centerpieces or chair coverings. The staff checked in with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything and help us stay on schedule and were kind and friendly. We would absolutely recommend having your wedding or any event at Venuti’s, they helped make our wedding day perfect and unforgettable.

    The perfect wedding hall

    Venuti's was a beautiful location to hold our wedding and start our first night as Husband and Wife. Karen, one of their wedding coordinators was AWESOME. She helped us every step of the way and answered any question we had via telephone or email - she always made herself available. Our wedding day was beautiful and everything we planned for from the food, linens, sweet table, and service. Our guests didn't have one negative thing to say and their food was a big hit. This is the perfect choice for your wedding.

    Venutis was in my opinion the best place to have your reception. The hall is gorgeous and very clean. The service was outstanding and Pat and his staff are wonderful. Whatever my husband and I needed they accommodated us. The food was fantastic. Our guests still talk about how wonderful our wedding was. Thanks to venutis and the rest of our vendors. I would recommend this venue to everyone.

    I LOVE Venuti's. Picking a place for my wedding reception was the easiest thing I had to do because I always knew I wanted Venuti's. It's gorgeous and the food is amazing! When having my tasting I couldn't find one bad dish so it made it hard to choose on just one. My wedding coordinator Karen Dragel was incredible. She was so accommodating and answered my every question. If I have the chance, I will definitely do repeat events at this place. It was also great because it was a fairly central location between my family and husband's family.

    Where do I begin? First off, I am Italian and come from a big Italian family....we know good food. Venuti's has GOOD food.

    About three years ago I passed Venuti's for the first time and fell in love with the look of the building. I told my boyfriend at the time "I want to get married there." My now Husband and I just got back from our honeymoon and the first thing on my to do list was write a review for this beautiful venue.

    Venuti's was the only venue that we viewed before making the decision that this was OUR venue. Karen Dragel is one of the HUGE reasons we chose to go with Venuti's after just one visit. Her warm and professional personality were very much appreciated throughout the stressful process of planning a wedding. As a control freak, I followed up with her many times and each time she was already a step ahead of me. She truly made me feel like I was the only bride that she was working with...I have heard horror stories of just being another wedding...'get in and get out.' Not with Karen, she truly cared that our day was perfect and it was just that...PERFECT.

    I could go on and on how beautiful the venue was, and how amazing cocktail hour was (I could die for those coconut shrimp) but what really mattered the most-the food, and the service. I have gotten countless compliments on how HUGE and juicy the filet was. This is rarely the case with cooking for a group of 200+ but the food was outstanding-from the salad to the pasta, the entire meal was perfection. Not only was the food delicious but the service was outstanding...asking each guest what temp they wanted their steaks and some people even decided last minute instead of steak they wanted the salmon. No problem! My server was so attentive and even delivered my drinks to me from the bar the whole night...talk about feeling important :)

    I can't say enough good things about Karen and Venuti's, our day was absolutely perfect down to every detail and I couldn'

    Absolutely Stunning Venue! Between the wonderful service, and the amazing food and ambiance Venuti's is the BEST. Pat Bruni one of the wedding coordinators was truly amazing to work with. He made sure everything went smooth for our day! Food was a big hit. We had made to order the day of and not a complaint in the building. The beauty of the venue is wonderful for pictures! I highly recommend you won't be disappointed!!

    Such a breath taking venue! Value in service, staff, food, and overall experience is well worth it!! They did not try to sell us on anything and listened to what we wanted. Made us feel very comfortable. Karen did an awesome job with all of our details. She's the best! Our guests were blown away by how great everything was. Especially surprised their steaks were cooked exactly how they asked! :) loved everything about this place!

    I couldn't be happier that we chose to have our wedding reception at Venutis. Everything from booking the date to the day of the wedding was perfect. Karen was always willing to help us and was very accommodating. The food at Venutis was beyond amazing and I got so many compliments on the choices. The room looked stunning when I walked in and everyone was raving about the food and drinks :) This is not your typical banquet hall. The food is actually good and the service is impeccable. I have recommended Venutis to so many people because of the great experience I had. (and you don't need chair covers - haha) It's a great reception venue and it's definitely worth a look!

    I used Venuti's for my February wedding and everything was BEAUTIFUL!!! I worked with Karen for months beforehand with planning details. She was great with providing advice and recommendations. I brought in another vendor for chair rentals and ceiling treatments which worked out wonderfully. The food was FANTASTIC!! Guests loved it and still talk about the Cream of Asparagus soup. We had some issues with how the steaks were done when we went in for our tasting, however, I expressed my concerns to Karen and all worked out on wedding day. Steaks came out just as guests had asked, whether it was rare, or medium, or well. The ONLY quips I had were these.... My family brought in an extravagant homemade sweets table (which Venuti's was so wonderful to PLATE AND SET-UP for me!!!!) but we also served the cake, which was part of Venuti's package. Unfortunately, the cake never got served. It got boxed up into To-Go boxes for guests to take as they left. This is partially my fault for not clarifying that I wanted the cake served, but I assumed since we paid for the cake, that that meant serve it. I haven't actually mentioned this to the staff at Venutis yet, as I keep forgetting to send them my review. All in all though, it was a wonderful venue. I have had friends and family tell me over and over it was the most beautiful wedding and best food they've been to/had. HIGHLY recommended.

    I had my dream wedding at Venutis' on June 8th 2013. When my family and I went to Venutis' for our initial meeting we met with Pat Bruni in sales and he was great. Pat responded to all my emails and phone calls on time and helped guide us along the way. My wedding guest were so impressed with Venutis, they all kept telling us our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We had everything from a martini bar, fire and ice appetizers and a huge dessert table, everyone is still talking about how good the food was. Venutis and Pat were very helpful with us when it came to taste testings, as I kept changing my mind and wanting to try different menu items, they even had the chef create a mushroom ravioli for us that wasn't on the menu because my father had the idea to have it and then we really wanted it. (It was absolutely delicious). Pat even made us happy after our wedding day, when some of our guest wedding favors were misplaced, he ordered more for us after the wedding to give to them. My family, friends, husband and I had the most amazing night. Venutis' is beautiful the food was great and we all had an amazing time. I would have another event at Venutis' and I would ask for Pat to help coordinate it.
