From our first meeting, we knew Benvenuto was the perfect choice for our special day. The planning process was seamless, thanks to the incredible team and their expertise. Every step of the way, they impressed us with their professionalism, thoughtfulness, and creativity.
On the day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond to make everything extraordinary. From being warmly welcomed after the ceremony to the private charcuterie and hors d’oeuvres arranged for us to enjoy a quiet moment together, every detail was impeccable. The dinner service and menu exceeded all expectations—it was truly unforgettable.
Working with Marija was an absolute pleasure. Her warmth, wit, and experience made the journey so enjoyable, and she was always generous with her time. The entire team made our day feel magical and ensured it was perfect for us and our loved ones.
We can’t thank Benvenuto enough and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dream wedding venue.

I have dealt with a lot of wedding venues in the South Florida area, first as a maid of honor for my sister, then as a wedding florist, and now as a bride. Benvenuto is the best so far! Everything went flawlessly. Marija and her staff have thought of everything, and it was essentially a turn-key event. She instills such confidence that everything will go off without a hitch.
All of the vendors she suggested were also great, the food was amazing (better than most restaurants that only sell food), the venue beautiful and comfortable.
We keep getting compliments that it was the best wedding that guests have ever attended.

WHAT A VENUE! We are so overjoyed at what Benvenuto has done for us, from the communication and responsiveness that Marija provided before the day of the event to the dedicated staff such as Claudia who was always there to help with any of our needs. The food was amazing all of our guests are still raving about the food and drinks that night. The planning that happened beforehand allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding day as we knew we were in good hands.

I just got married at Benvenuto in May 2024 and this was the best wedding venue I could have chosen. I looked at SO many options and Benvenuto had the best offerings, a reasonable price and the reviews speak for themselves. You are guaranteed to have an excellent experience here.
If you're lucky enough to get Marija as your Venue Coordinator, she is quick to respond (both by phone + email) and takes great care with attention to detail. I came in with a long list of questions, a document outlining my decor vision and spreadsheets mapping out the day. She was a pro at making sure all the details came together. With Marija at the helm, our wedding day went so smoothly from start-to-finish.
The Benvenuto venue is gorgeous! We did our first look out in the gardens, the ceremony in the romantic fireplace room, took family portraits in the courtyard and had an unforgettable reception in the Courtyard Room.
Some elements that made our experience extra special: when guests were served their plated meals, the waiters would surround the table and serve everyone's plate at the same time. Our guests loved this! As my husband and I took photos together after the ceremony, a staff member followed us around with a rolling table of hors d'oeuvres (from our cocktail hour) as well as our favorite cocktail. We were treated like a king and queen, truly. Not to mention, at the end of the wedding night, Marija and her team packed up all of the decor we brought; several meals for us to take home and enjoy; and the top tier of our wedding cake. The staff even packed up our car for us at the end of the night!
This kind of service is hard to find elsewhere. It really feels like you’re part of the family by the way you’re treated there. We plan to return for dinner on our anniversaries to come!
Take this as your sign to book Benvenuto for your wedding! I cannot recommend it enough.

From the first phone call to the minute the cars were loaded this was the most amazing venue. We could not have asked for better. The staff was attentive and kind. And did I mention the food?? If you have never been to an event here, you are missing out. This is the best Chef around,…hands down. Not your typical “wedding food” I can never thank the whole team enough in making the day beyond memorible.

Wow. Words cannot begin to describe how much I wish I could do-over my wedding day JUST to work with Benvenuto and its amazing staff again. Everything was pure perfection; from the communication from day 1, all the way to them caring about where the cake topper we had of our dog should be on the cake.
Anne, specifically, was (and is) a beautiful superwoman in real life. She made the day the best day for my husband and me, and I will never be able to thank her enough.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Marija to plan our 200 person wedding. She treated us like family from the first day we sat down with her. Marija was so quick to respond to all of my questions even when we were over a year out. She truly made the planning process so easy. The day of, I felt so calm knowing Marija and her team were there. They really took care of us and made sure everything went as smooth as possible. Everything at the reception was perfect- and the food was amazing. This venue really knows how to WOW your guests! I cannot thank Marija and the whole Benvenuto staff enough for making my wedding day (and the whole wedding planning process) an absolute dream!! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning an event. I hope we get to attend an event here in the future!

The best wedding venue!!
From the planning to our special day, Benvenuto is the place we have dreamed of. Anne and Lisa are unbelievably incredible in the planning process and execution.
Day of the staff was everywhere and catered to everyone. Our guest could not stop talking about how amazing the staff was.
We chose package 4, and wow!!! We loved our venue because it was more than a venue, it was everything we wanted.

My husband and I got married at Benvenuto in February 2023 and absolutely LOVED the venue. Marija was our wedding coordinator and when I say she thought of absolutely everything, she really did. She was constantly making sure that my husband-to-be and I were happy and stress-free the whole time. Not only did she check in on us, she made sure both families, the wedding party, and all guests were having an amazing time. We had 180 guests at our wedding and the feedback we received the night of AND still today, was that the food, the vibes, and all Benvenuto employees were nothing short of great.
My husband and I, who live in New York, flew back down to Boynton to celebrate our first anniversary by dining at Benvenuto (something we hope to make a tradition). Not only were they the kindest but everyone truly remembered so many details about our wedding, especially Marija.
So to any future bride and groom looking for a venue, I 100% recommend Benvenuto. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went off without a hitch. Although I’m sure all of the coordinators working at Benvenuto are phenomenal, I can’t recommend Marija enough. I’m so happy she was on this stressful but exciting journey with us!

Our daughter got married at Benvenuto in January 2024 and we are beyond happy for the wonderful experience we had there. The venue is gorgeous--so many beautiful rooms and outdoor photo ops. The food was the best I've had at a wedding---we heard so many compliments about it. We worked with Anne who was awesome---she helped us with every detail, and no question was too small. The day ran so smoothly---the years of experience really shows! The entire staff is amazing--so professional and attentive. I highly recommend Benvenuto to anyone looking for a vendor!

We had my daughter and son in laws wedding at Benvenuto this January, and can not give them enough praise and stars. The venue is beautiful and the staff is simply amazing. We worked with Marija and absolutely fell in love with her. She goes above and beyond, and makes sure everything goes off without a hitch. She is full of all the information you need, and I promise you she will not disappoint you. She is a wedding angel!!!!!All the staff are so professional, pleasant, and attentive. The food is unbelievable! We received so many compliments from our guests about what an amazing wedding it was. Benvenuto is the place to have your wedding!!!!!!!

We had our wedding here in December 2023, and I cannot say enough great things about Benvenuto! We worked alongside Anne from the moment we signed the contract to the day of the wedding. Any questions I had throughout the entire year of planning, she was always quick to respond and get me an answer. Benvenuto itself is an absolutely beautiful venue to get married at, but in my opinion the best aspects are the coordinators and staff. They truly made the wedding process and day-of experience one that I will never forget. I did not use a florist and had fake flowers - the staff went above and beyond to make sure all my flowers and personal decorations were set up to my liking. It was SO nice to not have to worry about any of this on the day of the wedding. The staff made sure all of the guests were treated like royalty, and we were basically waited on from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Also - the food here is out of this world. I've had so many guests tell me that this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding, and I agree - all three of our entrees were top tier. I would highly recommend Benvenuto for anyone looking to get married in the near future.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Benvenuto! We got married there January 2024 and we worked with Anne and her team. They were there every step of the way for all of our questions, concerns, etc. The day was seamless with their help and guidance, the service was outstanding, the food was incredible and the staff was so pleasant. We have received so many compliments about the food and the venue as a whole. We were able to stick to our budget and have the best night ever!

We had our wedding and reception at Benvenuto. We worked with Marjita and she was amazing. Our guests had an excellent time. The food was outstanding. The live band we used was so energetic. We were planning our wedding from Texas so choosing vendors was challenging. Marjita really listened to what we wanted and recommended the perfect vendors.
The day of the wedding they were waiting on us hand and foot. No detail was forgotten. It was raining so we actually had to move the ceremony inside. Everything went smoothly and the fireplace room is a beautiful place to have the ceremony.
The staff made sure all guests were treated like royalty.
We hope to see Marjita again and treat her to dinner. If you decide to choose Benvenuto as your venue for a celebration I can assure you it will be a great experience.

Marija and the staff at Benvenuto were the best! From the very beginning they made us feel like family. Any time we would reach out to her about any wedding related questions she would respond so quickly. We were a little worried because we had a lot of stuff to bring into the venue, but they allowed us to come early and drop things off which helped so much. They even set it up for us the day of so no one had to worry. They placed everything just how we wanted it! We love everyone at Benvenuto and are so glad we chose them. They are the definition of first class service and will go the extra mile to ensure your day is as special as possible. Thank you again Marija for making our day perfect.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. It is absolutely beautiful, provides stunning photo opportunities, and the food was phenomenal. Anne was incredibly responsive to my many questions and guided me through the process at every step. She went above and beyond for my family during a difficult time and I will forever be grateful. She repeatedly proved that a caring and compassionate family own and operate this venue. Not only did they help me plan a wedding in a ridiculously short time frame, it was a perfect night in every way.

From day one she made us feel like family and answered our million questions. The venue, the staff, the service and the FOOD are 1000/10! I never thought I’d be able to have my dream wedding until I walked through Benvenuto's doors. My now husband and I are and will forever be thankful to the whole Benvenuto family! Thank you for making our dreams come true! I don’t know how they do it but you won’t ever be disappointed when hosting any event at their venue! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I was married at Benvenuto in 2022. We were very happy with our wedding but there were a few things that unfortunately left us feeling disappointed.
Firstly the good things! The food was spectacular. The bartender on staff for the night was so great. The serving staff was very kind and professional. They worked well with our vendors to set up our place settings and flowers. They also allowed us to incorporate some of our own special decorations (menus, gifts, signs). Overall, the wedding turned out beautifully and everyone had a really great time.
The things that could have used improvement:
1. We had agreed with the venue that the bridesmaids and I would arrive early that day as we were only using one limo between us and the groomsmen. At the rehearsal the day before, the venue tried to tell my planner that we were no longer supposed to come early. This would have greatly impacted our timeline and forced us to rent a second limo the night before. Thankfully our planner resolved the situation and we were welcomed early that morning and provided some snacks. But that was an unnecessary stress.
2. There was a birthday party the same day as our wedding. It seemed that sweet 16 was given priority over our wedding. We understood that other customers could be using the venue but for our wedding planner to be told we could not put our card box or welcome sign in the entryway because of the birthday was disappointing. It was also very noisy in the courtyard and what was supposed to be a small, quiet, and intimate ceremony was impeded with kids yelling.
3. Our photography team expressed they didn’t feel very welcomed to use the venue as they would have liked. They felt very limited and it felt as though we were rushed in certain spaces or made to feel like we shouldn’t be in that specific spot. Thankfully we got lovely photos but it made the experience a little tense.
4. We discussed in person and via email many times a few upgrades we wanted to pay for in addition to our package. These three upgrades we chose were bundled into one additional price, which we paid. One of those items we requested was the clear chiavari chairs. We were extremely displeased to see that the venue forgot this detail and set up the wrong chairs. Everything we planned was glass and gold. And they set out silver chairs which definitely made a difference to the look and feel of the room. We kindly mentioned this after the fact only to prevent this from happening to someone else. Instead of an apology we were met with intense resistance to even admit the mistake. It was not until we sent screenshots of previous emails that we received an apology. We were told the email was “lost” and I guess all of our previous discussions and messages were also forgotten.
Overall - for the price point of this venue, we were a bit disappointed in the management. I would ensure that you hire a wedding planner very early on to make sure all of your details are correct, emails are not lost, and communication is not forgotten.
However - this is a beautiful venue, with outstanding food, many personal accommodations, and kind upbeat bar and serving staff. Our wedding did feel very luxurious and if you are not extremely picky about details or venue management then this would probably still be the place for you!

Marija and her team were so accommodating to everything we asked to bring or do at the venue, they made sure to make it happen. I am SO SO happy we chose Benvenuto to get married and celebrate the most special day/night of our lives!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

From the ceremony layout to the cocktail hour to the reception ball room, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD and our guests are still raving about the food even a week later. All of the employees are perfect at their job and made my wife and I feel extra special for every moment of our day. Lastly, Marija made our day perfect! She is so kind, hard working, and professional. We were so lucky/fortunate/blessed to have her. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Benvenuto all day, everyday. 100/10 recommendation

The staff is above and beyond. The food is above and beyond. Lisa went above and beyond. She was able to accommodate everything that I wanted with so much back and fourth in emails and my hundreds of questions a day she was amazing and helped bring my vision together.

Where do we even begin???!!!! Getting married is like buying a home for the very first time, a rollercoaster with sleepless nights, trying to aligned everything in a timely fashion, all awhile in hopes that you have a phenomenal real estate agent that can make that experience a seem less process. Anne and her staff made this process seem less and so enjoyable for my husband and I. It was the perfect package, venue, price point, food, ambiance, customer service and flexibility!! Many venues require their own vendors with all sorts of additional fees. Benvenuto’s makes it clear from the start, it’s your day and they want you to have zero stress. It was magical for us! All of our guests were impressed with the attentiveness, service, and FOOD!!!!!! Benvenuto’s will forever have a special place in our hearts and we will continue to highly recommend you, because you simply did an extraordinary job! Despite the last minute hiccups, Anne orchestrated a beautiful symphony.

December 29, 2022 was our wedding
And because of Benvenuto, it was more than a dream come true. They made it happen, it felt divine, heavenly, magical, out of this world, lost for words. They did EVERYTHING right, my parents, brothers, friends, co workers said that it was the best wedding they been to. And because of the professionalism, service, quality, class, hard work and passion BENVENUTO has, it went the right way. The food, the aesthetics, the professionalism, the waiters and waitresses, the chef, the drinks, the parking, EVERYTHING was great.
And we have to give an awesome shoutout to Maria, she helped us, and is an angel from heaven. Her love and care for us was truly something special. She took care of us and our families. We love her.
We recommend BENVENUTO 10000% as a restaurant, a venue and a place to make your dreams come true. Thank you!!

Benvenuto was absolutely beautiful! Our coordinator was Anne, who was amazing. She responded quickly and accommodated any request we had. They truly made our wedding the best day of both of our lives. Benvenuto has almost many different packages, and makes it sweet and easy to plan your big day. They took care of the food, bar, ceremony and reception! Therefore, we only needed a few additional vendors (Photography, DJ + Florals). The venue is stunning, the food is good, but the best part of the entire venue is the staff. Their staff is truly phenomenal and went out of our way to ensure we had the best night. Our Captain, Serafina, even ensured I had a box of to-go food to take home at the end of the event, as she noticed I did not have time to eat throughout the night. I hope this was just my first of many events I hosted at Benvenuto.

November 18, 2022 I married my best friend. My husband and I had the most AMAZING wedding, all thanks to Benvenuto!! They went above and beyond our expectations. Lisa was our coordinator and from the first time we walked into the venue we were treated like family. Our questions were always answered in a prompt and timely manner. My husband can be rather difficult when it comes to food with his allergies and preferences, and Lisa went out of her way to customize his food options for the night of our wedding. All of our wedding guests had an amazing time and still can’t stop talking about the wonderful service the venue provided. We plan on having all future events big or small at Benvenuto and will recommend them to anyone looking to have their own event! If I could rate them 10 stars I would!! FANTASTIC VENUE!!

Let us start off by saying: we would give this venue 10/5 stars if we could. In an area saturated with venue options, Benvenuto is a hidden gem. From the moment we visited the venue before booking, we knew this was the place we wanted to host our wedding. Marija gave us our tour of the venue, and we loved her right away. The venue: The entire property is elegant, and welcoming and within the overall venue they have so many individual event spaces that are all perfect. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, our cocktail hour in the bar area and fireplace room, and our reception in the grand ballroom. Each space was perfect. Benvenuto is a family business, and it shows in the love and attention to detail that goes into everything they do. The food: Just wow. Wow. The food at this place is stellar. The presentation is beautiful, the food cooked to perfection, and the portion sizes are more than generous. Chicken at weddings tends to be a bit meh, but their chicken is actually the best I’ve ever had. Couples usually talk about missing out on their cocktail hour bites, but not at this venue. As soon as the ceremony ended, we were ushered into the bridal suite where champagne and trays of appetizers were waiting for us. After having a few minutes to ourselves it was time to finish up our family and group photos. Again, trays of appetizers were waiting for us in the photo area, and the servers made sure our glasses were never more than half empty before asking if we’d like anything else. The management/staff: again just wow. After our first tour with Marija, we were mostly in communication with Anne, who was so responsive, helpful, and so sweet. She’s truly a pro at this, and she really cares about making these important days so special for her couples. Marija ran the show again on the day of our wedding, and again we were impressed. She made sure we were taken care of, checked in to remind us to eat in the midst of the craziness, and managed our unconventually large wedding party (13 groomsmen and 9 bridesmaids) with ease. Everything ran so smoothly the day of the wedding. They truly act as a day of venue coordinator, working with all our vendors to make sure everything is set up perfectly. That waiters and staff were also amazing, attentive, and top-notch. Overall: There are not enough positive words to describe our experience here. So many guests have told us how wonderful they thought the food and venue was, and weeks later my parents still rave about Benvenuto every time we talk. We would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone and have already talked about returning to celebrate future milestones at this amazing venue.

I cannot say enough good things about Benvenuto's in Boynton Beach. We had our wedding on 3/10/2022 on a Thursday afternoon into the night and also did our Shabbat dinner there in a smaller room on Friday night. Both were absolutely perfect- delicious and gorgeous.
First of all, our event manager, Lisa, was so amazingly nice, accommodating, helpful and creative in helping us to make our wedding day seamless, easy, beautiful and fun! The staff there are incredible- true professionals who aim to please and who are trained at the highest levels. The food is delicious, and there is SO much of it!! You cannot believe how much they give you for the prices they charge. They are by far THE BEST value in the entire South East Florida area.
The event spaces and grounds are also so unique and classy. It doesn't look like a stock hotel or something that is so modern that it doesn't have any character- it looks European and also old-world Florida with orchids and trees and gorgeous Italian floors and artwork.
If you are looking for a special venue that will delight your guests and a team that will work with you every step of the way, Benvenuto's is the place. You will not be disappointed when you have your wedding here. I guarantee it! Thank you, Lisa and everyone for making our wedding weekend so spectacular and special.

Could not be more satisfied and grateful for the team at Benvenuto, and most especially Marija, for the incredible experience they gave us for our wedding. From the first day we toured the venue, to tastings, follow ups with coordinated vendors, and the big day itself; truly exceptional.
Marija, Marija, Marija! What a wonderful person to guide us through all the details of planning. She was always available and we loved that she is such a straight shooter. All of that experience and she put it to great use helping us plan the perfect day. During the wedding, she delivered on every commitment she made to us and then some!
The venue itself offers multiple areas for congregation. Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in different but awesome areas. The "run of show" coordination was on point. I wasn't betting on almost 200 meals coming out the same quality as our tasting, but they pulled it off AND served tables professionally. Our guests raved about the food. The staff was superb.
We toured all sorts of venues and we're so very happy to have made the right choice with Benvenuto. We look forward to coming back to reminisce and eat BANGIN' steaks for years and years to come. See you soon Marija!!!

WOW I cannot say enough good things about Benvenuto!!! We worked with Anne and from day 1 she made the wedding planning process so easy! Leading up to the day she answered all my questions, from recommending vendors to reviewing my day-of timeline to giving advice based on her experience with other couples. The wedding day was so seamless- I didn't have to worry about a single thing! Plus - THE FOOD!!! Our guests were blown away by how delicious every meal was! Customized menus let our guests order table side from 3 entree options and even allowed them to specify how they'd like their meal prepared. It is really amazing how they pull this off! THANK YOU BENVENUTO for the best day of our lives!

One. Magical. Moment! My daughter‘s wedding was everything I ever dreamt it would be.
We recently celebrated her wedding at Benvenuto, Boynton Beach, Florida and from the first moment until the last it was exquisite.
Our guests were given sangria upon arrival. The courtyard where we held the ceremony, had an Italian vibe and the flowers from Kish Events & Decor enhanced it to perfection.
After the ceremony Our guests went to an hour cocktail reception with white gloved servers passing hors d’oeuvres and open bar along which also had the wedding couples signature drink.
Adonis from Kenny Mondo Enterprises was wonderful and kept the flow smooth for the entire evening from music prior to the ceremony, during the cocktail hour, dinner and dancing.
The dinner was wonderful, equal to any of the five star restaurants I have gone to. Portion sizes were more than adequate for the largest appetite. The hardest part was picking between all the wonderful choices of entrees and appetizers.
From the White gloved service, to the beautiful chandeliers in the room, to the strawberries decorating the champagne glasses and more. Every detail was taken care of. Especially were the little things I never thought to request that were present.
Cake Creations from Jan provided wedding cake and it was lovely, everything my daughter dreamed of and was delicious.
We gave creative license to both the florist and wedding cake designer and what they created were lovelier than anything we could of requested.
Lisa from Benvenuto held my hand through all the planning and decision making. Once again I went with the experts advise and was not disappointed with anything.
A big thank you to Lisa and all the staff from Benvenuto’s
for helping make my daughters and son-in-laws special day the day they will always remember.

We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere other than Benvenuto, they are top notch. Lisa made our vision happen, and was responsive from beginning to end. If we had questions or requests, she made it happen. We get compliments about the food all the time, their food is seriously incredible. Each section of the venue makes it feel like you’re in a different place but only a few feet away. They offer so much on-site from uplighting to chandeliers and beautiful views, the whole night was stunning. We are so grateful for the Benvenuto team for making our day so special.

I hope future brides read this detailed review. My daughter was married at Benvenuto February 19, 2022. The ceremony was beautiful and the food and Waite staff were very good. However a lot of things were not. A few weeks before the wedding I was told there was a large wedding along with ours, And we could not take photos outside and certain areas inside before the wedding, that the other bride had preference although I booked this wedding over a year ago, I was told the other wedding party would be walking thru the lobby , only after I asked ,that question. While my guests were in the lobby enjoying a glass of champagne listening to the violin and cello duo I hired. I told Anne I was concerned how close the weddings were, and it looked like an assembly line… I was assured everything would be timed perfectly so that did not happen. Someone dropped the ball… the 150 people walked thru the lobby on the way to the bar and then back again to their ballroom right thru my guests and it was loud confusing and disrupting. I have never been to a wedding where that happened. . Now on to the welcome table. We did not have one. I was assured 2 hours before the wedding not to worry it would be done with all the items and
( flowers that were for the table 250$ ) Including the seating chart which was put in the lobby and then hallway, not on the beautiful welcome table we had planned. My florist had flowers that again I paid for to be put in the bar, and that was not done either, due to the time the other wedding party left the bar and my guests going into the bar, there was no time in between. The specialty drink signs I had made we’re propped against a wall in the bar where no one could see them although I had easels for them to be placed on the bar…again 2 hours before was told everything would be done. None of it was. I planned that welcome table for many months. Again someone dropped the ball. The cocktail napkins I purchased for the champagne welcome in the lobby were not there. I had to ask them to find them. The table for the food in the bar was huge, with the food spaced out at least a foot apart, The table cloths had fold marks all over them. I honestly think the ridiculous large table was for the much larger wedding and there was no time to change it between the weddings. was apologizing to my guests for how horrible it looked. . they lost our welcome to our wedding sign. I called and emailed about the wedding sign, and my review and never got a response. As you know after a year and a half of planning, it’s a huge disappointment when things are not right. I mean how did they just miss the welcome table? The thing is I expressed my feeling of things bot being done twice and was reassured that would not happen. I’m not saying don't book your wedding here, I’m just saying to be aware of what can happen. After expressing my concerns you would think extra care would be made to be sure everything was done right. Good luck!

I can’t possibly put into words how amazing Benvenuto was for our wedding venue. We worked with Marija from beginning to end, and let me tell you, there is no one better than her!She executed our vision better than we could have dreamed and really went out of her way to not only give us support as a family member and friend would but also as someone who is extraordinarily professional. You can not go wrong in having your wedding at Benvenuto and working with Marija- everything was perfect. I also would like to give a special shout out to Hector and the staff that worked the night of my wedding- you all were absolutely amazing. You made us feel so special and it is such an invaluable memory - thank you for all your hard work. We were so, SO BLESSED by you all. Thank you !!!!!!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Benvenuto and it was beyond anything I could have imagined for my wedding. Anne and the entire team were a pleasure to work with. From the beginning Anne was very responsive and helpful. When we arrived to Benvenuto on our wedding day, we were so happy with how everything turned out. Also, the food was fantastic! All of our guests commended that they loved the food. Great experience. Highly recommend!

What an amazing venue and the perfect place for our wedding and reception! Benvenuto has amazing service and great food. The venue is very beautiful, specially at night!
In this section, I would to talk about what we loved about Benvenuto. First, the staff. As this is our first wedding, we were quite clueless on the intricacies of planning a wedding. Our planner, Marija, was very helpful and patient with us. She has accommodated all of our needs and provided us additional advice as well. In addition, on the day of the wedding, the servers were very responsive and quick to get everything we asked for.
Second, the food. The food is amazing! We had a wide selection of hors d'oeuvres which the guests loved. They specially loved the mini crab cakes. As for our appetizer, we selected the crab cake (again) which our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Our entrees were the Prime Rib, Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce, and the Shrimp Scampi. All of our guests were pleasantly surprised about the serving size. In addition, they were all very pleased with the taste and presentation of the food.
Third, the venue. The venue itself is very pretty. We had our wedding at night in the outdoor courtyard and were initially worried about how the place would look in the evening. However, upon seeing the fairy lights lit at night, we knew this is where we wanted to hold our wedding. It is important to note that Benvenuto has also reserved a separate room (the Coral Room) in case it rains. We found this to be a very comforting backup as Florida can change weathers so quickly. For our reception, we chose the Fire Place Room and had 52 guests in total. The room provided enough space to have our dinner as well as an area for dancing. We chose the room due to the design of the wooden trusses in the ceiling which provided a very cozy atmosphere. In addition, the windows to the side provide a nice view to the rear area where there are more fairy lights to brighten the outside.
There is very little to be asked for at Benvenuto though it is important to note some of the minor limitations on their amazing service. First, a few of our guests unfortunately were not able to eat as their plates were cleaned up too early. The servers were quick to clean the table as some of our guests took a moment to dance. To Benvenuto's credit though, some of the guests got their food back in a box but only some. So, be sure to warn your servers not to take away food too quickly or just remind them to box all of the guests food. Second, Benvenuto was clear up front that additional decorations are the host's responsibility. So, just as a warning, if you wish to have custom menus, table numbers, etc. be sure to work with your planner in advance. Lastly, since we provided custom table number cards, we had to arrange them to the correct tables as they were initially placed incorrectly.
Overall, our wedding was made perfect thanks to the wonderful venue and staff at Benvenuto. We definitely recommend Benvenuto to anyone else looking to hold their wedding ceremony and reception at one location.

I could go on for DAYS how much we loved Benvenuto and the staff that worked so hard to make us feel special on our wedding day this past Sunday. Anne Gaudree was with us from the very beginning when we first found this venue, and there to make sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Cocktail hour choices were INCREDIBLE. Dinner was IMPECCABLE. Any time we got up from our table and came back, we had a new fresh cocktail ready to go for us. We had a couple of guests not show up last minute, they boxed their portion of food for us to take home! They attended to our needs all night long as if this was a 5-star resort. The service was nothing short of outstanding and we will be forever grateful to Benvenuto and it's staff for making us feel like royalty.

11/7/2021 was a perfect wedding day thanks to Marija and all of Benvenuto staff! If you are looking for an all-in-one venue for wedding or other events, this is the perfect venue. From start to finish Marija worked my husband and I on our vision for our wedding. Being out of state worries us at first but Marija made everything at ease. Our guests rave how beautiful the venue looked, the food, and the drinks. Hospitality deserve it’s on 5 stars, Benvenuto makes you feel like family. I would recommend this venue to anyone for weddings or other events. I am already thinking how we can have another event here, maybe our birthday party!

I am the mother of the groom, Douglas Hawes. Erika and Douglas did there vowel renewal at Benvenuto's. Maria the event coordinator at Benvenuto was the most amazing person I have ever worked with. She was there at any given minute to help or to see if we needed anything. All of the staff there was on top of things the night of the reception. Hector was very also making sure everything was good for us. I was also the florist for the event. I have worked with many event coordinators and I can honestly say that I have never met anyone like Maria. She is top notch. I can't thank her enough for making the evening everything Douglas and Erika wanted. Thank you again.

Anne worked with me through the entire process (always easy to get a hold of and easy to work with)! Everybody raved about the food! Could not recommend Benvenuto enough!

I am SO happy we chose Benvenuto for our wedding. The food, the hall, the photo area, EVERYTHING was beyond perfect.
It's so reasonably priced, beautiful, and the coordinator, Anne went above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect
For around 75 guests, we spent less than $10k - we had our wedding on a Sunday. But it was so affordable on top of beautiful. Also, everyone loved the food and drink!!

This vendor was BEYOND anything we could ask, think, or imagine. Anne and their team were so supportive and a source of continual guidance during this season. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without their professional and fabulous staff. They helped make ALL of our dreams come true!! Everything was perfect and right on time. I (the bride) was so pleased with how they catered to our needs through the planning process. I was also astounded how they cooperated with our vendors. I didn't have to lift a finger all day. All I had to worry about was getting dressed! They were also excellent in how they honored our loved ones and our wishes. Their staff is flawless. My husband really appreciated how easy they made everything. On such a high stress day, the Benvenuto team excelled at making our day so peaceful. We LOVE this place!
We would also recommend hosting your REHEARSAL dining experience here as well. We had an 11 AM rehearsal and then hosted a luncheon not 20 feet from where we had just rehearsed. It was so perfect and simple. And while planning a wedding in "these times", Benvenuto was a breath of fresh air.
