he pictures at the terrace he helped get gazebo pictures that were gorgeous! Everything Zack helped us with was perfection, the timing of the ceremony, the first dance, the grand entrances. He went above and beyond Corey held my cell phone helped fluff my dress, held my purse, brought anything I needed throughout the day. She was amazing!!! Tommy helped us with all the amazing menu choices and the food was incredible. We are so fortunate everything was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend the food, ambiance, decor, staff, entertainment everything was fabulous. Thank you so so much! Best day of our lives the perfect location and team

e for us. John is a true gem and took so much time to answer all of our questions and was willing to meet with us multiple times. I truly never thought booking a wedding would be as easy and seamless as it was! It turns out I was stressed about nothing! Truly please look at this place!! It’s stunning, the food is amazing, and you truly feel like your working with family! Here I feel like people truly care about you, and not just a number like you are at other venues! I can not say enough!

e with a very kind & helpful staff. There is a restaurant on the property so we were able to have a dinner at the venue after the rehearsal. John and the whole team were very accommodating and made us feel at home. We were able to stop by several times during our engagement to drop off decorations and go over the plans for the Wedding. We got lucky with amazing weather and had our ceremony on the rooftop. The ballroom looked amazing. Everyone loved the food and the beautiful ambiance.

Not enough words to say how fabulous our experience with The Terrace at Biago's were! First off we booked them in 2019, pre-covid. And despite all the uncertainty and postponements...
they stayed by our side the whole time. The staff was always available to chat and a great resource throughout. We had to postpone our date two times because of COVID and they definitely worked with us while also trying to save their business. The weeks leading up to the wedding they were very responsible with staying on track of our checklist. The day of the wedding couldnt have been more perfect. They were already checking in on us and how we were feeling while still making sure the party was running smoothly. We felt like they went above and beyond to make sure we were nothing but satisfied that day. We are very happy with them and our guests were raving over the level of service that they received.

From the very first phone call to inquire about venue all the way to the final hour of our wedding, Biagio's exemplifies hospitality and service ! My bride and I had the pleasure o...
f working with Athena and John directly , both of whom were extremely professional and reassuring. Reassuring in the sense that they were able to confidently tell my bride that we are here to make this the most special day and assure her that it will in fact be that. Both accomplished exactly that and then some. Anytime we had questions or needed information they were there to help us through the process. It’s nice to know the people working for you are available at all times. They were able to make this as simple as a process even with all the added stresses of planning a wedding. The Biagio's family truly prides themselves on professionalism. The staff from top to bottom is top notch. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and perfect The Terrace was and the atmosphere as a whole. The vibe they put out was what a wedding vibe should be , they allowed for you to truly feel all the love and joy in the room. I would recommend The Terrace at Biagio's to any and everyone . If you’re looking for an awesome party with great people to help the process , this is by far the place to be in the metropolitan area!

If you are looking for an incredible ballroom - Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful. I have always had a special attachment to Biagios (the restaurant attached to The Terrace.) My fami...
ly has been going there for as long as I can remember for dinners as well as every event from graduations, to funerals, to birthdays, to now a wedding. They have always treated us like family. The food is incredible, the service is great, and they truly catered to everything my husband and I needed. What really helped us choose them was that we had a large guest count and their ballroom could accommodate that. John, the maître D, was SO accommodating and helpful. He answered our texts at literally any time of the day/night and took full control of everything. He was flexible in scheduling appointments and I went into my day completely comfortable. I knew as soon as I dropped off all of our items that no matter how they set it up they were going to make sure that the room looked spectacular- and it did!!! The night of my wedding John literally made sure there was NOTHING to ever worry about, and not just for me, but for our parents and every one of our guests as well. He ran all over that place and made sure nothing was out of place. As soon as you get to the main lobby area the beautiful fireplace was the perfect place for photos. The cocktail and viennese hours are still being talked about as one of the best people have attended. The reception room was absolutely gorgeous. And, of course, the upper patio was a great addition, especially for people who just wanted to get some fresh air as well as my sparkler send off!!! Due to COVID they made great accomodations with table settings (8 people recommended) and socially distancing the tables so that there was over 6 feet between each one. My guests said it was so nice to be at a wedding during the pandemic and have a few hours of feeling "normal" but also feeling very safe with how everything was set up and handled. I cannot recommend them enough. They literally took my whole wedding vision and brought it to life.

When my (now) husband had recommended that we look at Biagio's for our wedding, I was not interested as I wanted to have a barn wedding. In addition, I had hung out at Biagio's wh...
en I was in college and I remembered it being just a bar. I was completely unaware of how just how much it has changed over the years and I had no idea that they had added The Terrace to the venue. I am SO glad that we went and looked because I fell in love with the rooftop terrace as soon as we saw it! You completely forget that you are on Paramus Road. Unfortunately, we were originally told that we could not use the terrace as it was being used as the restaurant due to the current pandemic dining restrictions. Athena was a gem from the moment I spoke with her and she showed us and explained to us what our options were. We saw the Grande Ballroom, where we planned to have our ceremony, and we saw the very large, yet intimate tent, that we would use for our reception. Athena was incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of my many, MANY questions. She offered support in order to help us to create the wedding that we wanted. When Athen told us that they use my favorite bakery as on of their own for wedding cakes, I took that as a sign and we booked on the spot! Athena then put us in touch with John, the Maitre D', who took care of us from that point forward. John put us at ease and made us feel confident that everything would be taken care of. They exceeded our exceptions!! Three days before the wedding, we met with John and found out that we could have the terrace for our ceremony. It was exquisite! John had the fireplace going and even offered to play music as I walked down the aisle, something that I did not even think was possible. It was a breathtaking day from start to finish. The staff was wonderful and accommodating and we literally were able to show up and truly enjoy the day. It was truly a perfect day and I cannot wait to go back and visit for dinner next year for our first anniversary!! Thank you Athena and thank you John for taking such great care of us!

o Biagio's/The Terrace in Paramus for their outstanding job in making our clients on Sept. 4th so happy. There was a lot of changes (again due to Covid) on an hourly basis but I have to say that the management at Biagio's handled all our concerns. On the night of the wedding, we had John Risley as the Maitre'D and he was amazing and on top of everything. Our clients loved their wedding and I would definitely recommend this venue and have John run your event. Looking forward to working with this venue again!

So disappointed in Biagio's.The pictures on their Facebook page of the COVID wedding is my son and daughter-in-law's on August 14th Those pictures are so staged.I HAVE REAL PICTURE...
S from the beginning to end. The original date had been April 24th but because of COVID They had to postpone. At that time we had paid them for 172 people with a guarantee of 200. Knowing friends and family would not be able to attend they would work with us for $175 but not change the price from a Saturday to now a Friday nite. We went along with that thinking they would work with us at some point. There would be no extravagant cocktail hr or Viennese table . Would they work with us on a new price now The answer was NO We were told we no longer had access to the terrace upstairs because the restaurant had its diners upstairs. Would we get reimbursed for that The answer NO . We in good faith we're expecting the best, marble floors chandeliers air conditioning the outdoor terrace what we got was a tent in a parking lot NO floor to walk on one bar two bartenders no masks beer on ice most of the weight staff did not have masks nor did they know they were supposed to serve us while walking around with food. They put up a buffet with four or five stations three had servers the rest serve ourselves there was one hand sanitizing station as you walked in the door halfway through it was empty Lighting was just still Edison bulbs no other lights whatsoever thank God for the DJ. He had lights The stumps from an old tree were never removed That's where they put the industrial fans that blew inside the tent . Dinner was served 2 HOURS after the orders were put in and everything was cold although people did say the beef was good and the chicken wasn't to bad cold But it's hard to eat cold sea bass. Dessert came on a three-tiered platter mostly fruit there was banana foster and an ice cream cart, popcorn and cotton candy??. Biagio's surprise for the happy couple were fireworks that were put in front of the fans that blew into the tent.IN SPITE OF ALL THIS our friends and family had a good time because they were out and seeing people that they hadn't seen in months .IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE GREAT WEDDING Biagio's had given us. I thought during Covid we were all in this together but Biagio's proved they were only in it for themselves.
Response from Biagio's and The Terrace on 09/03/2020
Hi Jean!
Thank you for taking the time for the feedback. I am disappointed that you di...
d not enjoy the wedding of your son and daughter-in-law, but also a little surprised. The bride and groom seemed to have a good time and thanked us many times towards the end of the evening.
We all would have liked to be inside and have a traditional wedding reception, but obviously, this was not possible. We did honor as much of the contract as possible. We provided almost all of their selected food during the cocktail hour, reception and viennese table. Both us and the couple had to make compromises for this event to happen. We worked with the couple and reduced their minimum guarantee by 30 people, which was a discount of over $5000!
Yes, we use elegant acrylic wine and water glasses, which we use all year 'round when we have events outdoors or on the rooftop. They were not plastic Solo cups that you’d find at a BBQ.
All of our servers wore masks and gloves while serving and we had 2 hand sanitizer stations. As in any wedding, the food order for dinner is placed at the beginning of the evening, and then served at an agreed upon timeline between the Maitre D and DJ/couple. We did our best to provide a great evening for the newlyweds, taking into account the limitations we all are facing during these difficult times.

This review is to warn any others who is thinking about booking with Biagio's and The Terrace. They will quote you a lower price to get you to come in and change it once you are th...
ere (classic bait and switch scam).
We reached out to Biagio's via The Knot and they came back saying they had 2 available dates for us. They initially quoted us $160 per person for their Full Grand Event Package. We negotiated with them through The Knot and they agreed to $145 per person with a $1,000 ceremony fee. Having this information, we agreed to visit them in person (my fiance was traveling from Boston to do this). Upon our arrival, there was noone there to greet us to direct us where to go (not a huge deal but still not a good sign). Once we sat down with the rep (Midra) we were speaking with, she tried to sell us a lesser different package that did not include the Viennese table (separate additional charge for this) for $160 + tax + tip. When asked why the price and package was different than what was online, she said it was because I told her estimate headcount of 125 is different than what I initially said of 150. That was fair so I was like then we will guarantee 150. Even after I said that, her and the owner's daughter refused to honor the price that was given online. At that point, it was such a negative experience that we just walked out. For anyone considering them, please beware of their bait and switch scheme!!!
Response from Biagio's and The Terrace on 01/29/2020
Hello Tiffany. Thank you for taking the time in your busy schedule to visit us this past ...
weekend. However, I am a little disappointed in your review of our facility - especially with the term "bait and switch". First, you were an hour early to your appointment, and our manager, Midra, was sitting with another client at the time. You could have called ahead of time and mentioned that you would be early and we would have had someone else waiting for you. Second, if you check the knot questionnaire, you did originally tell us you could guarantee between 150 and 200 guests (175 being our minimum). Also, if you check the emails back and forth, our last email to you was the lower price with cocktail hour and reception - nowhere in the last email did we say we could include the Viennese Table. We both lowered the price and minimum guest count for your event, and in so, had to take away items from the package. I'd be happy to send you a screenshot of the emails going back and forth. We wish you luck on your search for a venue and congratulate you on your upcoming nuptials.

Debbie, my bridal attendant, was great! There was a possibility of rain later on in our wedding day, and we were unfortunately unable to have cocktail hour on the outdoor terrace. John was in contact with me throughout the day, waiting to see if the weather report would change. He made every attempt to set everything up outside, and we appreciated his attention to detail and communication with us on the day. Our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The cocktail hour and food in the reception were delicious, and our guests were raving about the food, even days after! No one left hungry, that's for sure! The staff was professional and everything went off without a hitch. I would definitely recommend having your wedding or major event at The Terrace!

y executed perfectly. John introduced himself a few days before the wedding and made it clear that he was here for anything we needed. And be delivered big time. My guests were raving about the food, the lighting, and the venue in general. Cocktail hour was unbelievable. I’m telling you- book this venue for many reasons but especially the food. It is amazing! My husband and I were able to attend cocktail hour, but instead we stayed in the bridal suite and all of the food was brought up to us so we could take a minute to breathe before the reception began. Debbie and Midra even got a food stain out of my dress before the reception. The staff always made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Our drinks were always full, and we were treated so well. The night ran so smoothly because of John, Midra, Tommy, and Debbie. Every time we needed something, even something small, someone was there to help within seconds. I wouldn’t change one thing about our wedding night and how it went. We also had a Viennese hour which was incredible. I’ve never seen so many people have so much dessert at a wedding. It was a night we will never ever forget, and the staff really exceeded our expectations. The venue is breathtaking and the food will have your guests talking about it forever! The rooftop terrace is a perfect place for photos or to have a few drinks. Everything was beautiful!

Our wedding at The Terrace was on July 1, 2017, and was nothing short of amazing. Tommy, Taylor, Michelle (who my bridal party continued to call Stephanie. You can’t forget us, Mi...
chelle!) and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our day everything we asked for.
The Terrace was the last venue I visited when we started wedding planning, and I had already had another venue in mind. From the moment I parked, met Tommy and Athena, walked through the cocktail hour room, the beautiful ballroom, and - the deal sealer - the rooftop, I was sold.
Fast forward to our wedding day, with a rooftop ceremony planned from the very getgo and a rainstorm in the forecast that afternoon, Tommy and his crew did ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING they could do to get me that 6pm rooftop ceremony. The rain kept coming and going and, the moment the rain stopped, his crew was out there mopping and wiping down chairs only for it to downpour again. Until 5:55pm, they continued wiping and mopping and, unfortunately, the call was made to move the ceremony indoors because the rain wouldn’t let up. Tommy had already set up the ballroom as the secondary ceremony site and, by 6:01pm, guests were seated and the show was on the road.
My guests are STILL raving on how epic the service was and how elegant the venue was. Let me paint you a picture of our guest list: my husband is Polish and we are both ex-bartenders, so our guest list was filled with service industry workers and people who know how to party. Tommy and his staff aimed to please and they nailed it. Not a single glass stayed empty throughout the night. The food? My maid of honor went to two other weddings after ours and was disappointed that the other Chateaubriands were incomparable to The Terrace’s. Between the jaw dropping Cocktail Hour and the Viennese Extravaganza, The Terrace made all 175 of my guests speechless (and ridiculously full).
A million times thank you to Tommy, Athena, and the rest of the crew at The Terrace for our fairy tale wedding.

There are really no words to describe how perfect our wedding reception was at The Terrace on October 6, 2017. When we began planning our wedding last October, The Terrace was our ...
first and last stop on our venue search. We knew right away that it was the perfect venue. We worked very closely all year long with Sales Manager, Jennifer Riscen. Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always available for us to answer any and all questions in a prompt and professional manner. She painted a picture of what our wedding reception would be like; which became a reality. Jennifer is a true event professional and made our wedding flawless from beginning to end. I had a blast working with her! She is one of the best!! The entire staff at The Terrace is a first class act. We also worked with Tommy, Chef Jimmy, and Amanda as well. Everyone was so helpful, accommodating and fun to work with. We were never stressed out because we knew we were in great hands. Chef Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure the menu, food & presentation was top notch. Some of the highlights of our wedding (to name a few) was our rooftop cocktail hour which included a sushi "stadium themed" station, pig roast, raw bar with ice sculpture, rose station, Octoberfest themed station, a flambe presentation to open the Viennese dessert table, and our donut wall and coffee to go favors. Not one detail was overlooked. Every single guest raved and was blown away by our reception and we have no one but Jennifer, Chef Jimmy and the staff at The Terrace to thank. The quality of the food, service and venue was impeccable! No one wanted the night to end so we continued the party over at Biagio's.
If you are a newly engaged couple looking for a brand new, beautiful venue with an incredible, professional staff to match, we HIGHLY recommend Biagio's and The Terrace!

g the days prior to our event and during the event, but even after the event we can honestly say everyone feels like extended family! Everyone who attended our wedding was raving about the beautiful rooftop ceremony, the delicious food and the sophistication of The Terrace. Big shout outs to "Big Teddy", Anita, Tommy, and Athena who made our entire experience an absolute pleasure; and to our outstanding maitre'd Amanda, who was absolutely extraordinary in every way and so incredibly kind throughout every interaction. And to Michele (our bridal assistant, I'm sorry, I know we're spelling this wrong) and Taylor who were amazingly helpful throughout our wedding day, making sure every detail was tended to and that we were cared for at all turns. The level of attention, great energy, and sincere passion shown to us by every person involved in all aspects of the planning and execution of our ceremony and reception was beyond measure. If you are shopping for a North Jersey wedding venue do yourself a favor and check out Biagios in Paramus!!!

h Jen back in August of 2016 and from the moment we met her and walked into The Terrace we knew this place was going to be hard to beat. After walking around The Terrace, the entry way, the lobby, the reception hall, the rooftop space and the beautiful decor already in place I was able to envision our wedding day.
We mainly worked with Jen, but dealt with Tommy here and there as well. They were both so helpful, answered all of our questions, accommodated our request and even found a specific "Croatian Beer" my fiance wanted for the day. We have heard from other friends that the food was always really good at The Terrace, but those words did not do it justice. The food was phenomenal and we still have people commenting about the food, saying they can't wait to go to another event there.
The day of the wedding went off without a hitch. The day turned out to be the perfect weather to hold the ceremony on the rooftop. Since we got married on Friday of Memorial Day weekend, we knew there might be an issue with traffic and the team at The terrace had a plan in play to handle that. Our ceremony was set to start at 6 p.m. We held the ceremony off for abut 20/25 minutes to give guests more time to get there. The Terrace provided drinks and cocktails for the guest who already showed up and they were able to enjoy the beautiful rooftop space a bit more.
We had a bridal attendant with us the entire day who was very attentive.
There were a few last minute changes with our seating chart and they were situated promptly.
The food, the lighting, the Viennese Extravaganza, the venue and most importantly the entire staff at The Terrace could not have been more perfect. We really didn't stress about anything while we were planning our wedding because we knew we were in good hands.
Thank you to The Terrace for making our wedding day more perfect then we could have imagined.

If you are considering using the Terrace for a wedding or any event look no further! The newly renovated Venue is drop dead gorgeous and so tasteful & elegant, also in the ballroom...
they have all the lighting effects installed right into the ceiling and offer a lighting package that we used that turns the dance floor into a club - ask for Charlie! From the first time we went to see the Terrace and met with Paula we knew we were in good hands and it would be the perfect place for our wedding. She helped us plan everything out and was always available to answer any questions we had along the way to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. The whole staff went above and beyond the service was impeccable all of our guests have been raving that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! We could not have been happier with our Maitre D Amanda who made sure every detail of our decor was perfect and that everything ran smoothly all night, she was extremely attentive to us, our families, and guests at all times. Food was delicious and there was more than plenty to go around with a 7 station cocktail hour plus passed hors d'ouevres and vodka luge, than into the ballroom for dinner that includes salad, intermezzo, & choice of entree all of which were amazing, and we did the Viennese hour which was complete with a flambe show intro combined with them opening the wall to reveal several unbelievable stations of our choosing - our guests were blown away! I don't know what I would have done without my Bridal Attendant Taylor, she was right by my side all night making sure I had everything I needed from a glass of wine to slippers to put on my feet! Taylor even helped me with putting on my dress & veil, and drove us back to the hotel when the shuttle left without us! We had the best day of our lives and can't thank everyone at the Terrace enough!

Amanda and Taylor made sure that my husband and I were always happy and taken care of along with our parents and bridal party. Even when my bustle broke,Taylor came to the rescue! I cannot thank you enough for a wonderful night! If these reviews are your deciding factor about this hall, I strongly suggest you book them! My guests haven't stopped talking about the food! Friends are already interested in having future events at The Terrace!

this was the location for our special day. Tommy was the most pleasant person I have ever worked with and he made every part of the planning process easy and understandable. The venue is gorgeous - pictures do no justice. The outdoor ceremony space is flawless, and every detail was taken care of the entire day. As the bride there was never a time I wanted for anything - the maitre d was incredible and the team was professional and friendly and I truly enjoyed every moment of the day. We could not have asked for anything more perfect than our dream wedding and that is exactly what we got. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making every one of our dreams come true. I wish we could get married again - maybe we will see you in 10 years for our kid's weddings!!!

oth. They were very professional and easily accommodated all of our special request. Their attention to detail is impeccable and took great concern with following through each one. Paula was patient and accommodating through all the hiccups along the way and we are eternally grateful to her. Paula is thoughtful of her clients and she went the extra mile to check up on us not because we were using their facilities but it was her genuine acts of kindness and thoughtfulness that made us confident we made the right choice of picking Biagio's to partake in our wedding festivities.Her hard work ethnic is one that surpasses the other venues we have hosted our previous events. Charlie was just so down to earth, polite and made our reception look spectacular. Everyone was complementary of the ambiance the room and how beautiful the night unfolded. We had a great time! The food was outstanding. All of our guest truly enjoyed our selections that were tailored made to our liking with the chef. If we could get married all over again without a doubt we would share that day again with the entire Biagio's family. Thank you and may God continue to bless you all.
Love Erica and Sam

the wedding was on point and made sure that everything ran extremely smoothly. We had almost 200 people at our wedding, and we have not heard any negatives, "could have been betters" from anyone (and I have a very vocal family). We had the up-lighting and tv package, plus did our ceremony on the rooftop. The cocktail hour was incredible and extremely extensive. The sit down dinner was amazing, and everyone at our wedding is still talking about the Viennese hour with the 5 stations, and how "out of nowhere" the wall disappeared and all of these desert stations were visible. I am so glad that we chose The Terrace as our venue. Our night was magical and everything I wanted it to be.

We will never forget our wedding at The Terrace! Thank you to everyone that made it so wonderful.

Any questions or concerns I had, tommy would call me back with in the hour and was very attentive to personal detail which was wonderful because I had a few polish traditions that I wanted at my wedding and he was on point with everything!

Upon looking at The Terrace as a possible location for our wedding, it was love at first sight. in fact, it was the only wedding venue we looked at while in our planning process. ...
we were just blown away! our guests loved how beautiful the location was and have not stopped talking about it with us since our event on August 22nd, 2015. As a whole, the venue's food, service and accommodations were beyond our expectations and better than what we could've imagined. We decided to have our ceremony on the terrace, which is highly recommended as it is beautiful. Weather on our day thankfully was perfect, but the staff was very prepared with a backup plan for any inclimate weather. Something that was very reassuring for the both of us. From that point on, the party just flowed wonderfully from cocktail hour to the reception. We cannot thank Paula and her wonderful staff enough for the tremendous party they helped us in throwing!! We cannot wait to be back at The Terrace again in the near future. Thank you so much!!

The Terrace was a dream. We were married there on Sunday. Throughout the whole process of planning, they were attentive to every detail and accommodated every request that we had....
The venue itself is stunning, out of control gorgeous views for pictures. Our ceremony was on the Terrace itself and was magical as the sun was setting. The food was exceptional , many guests raved about the cocktail hour flavors and options. The entrees were amazing as well. Tommy and his team were always on point. I could have not asked for a better venue or team to handle our 250+ guest affair. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to get married in north Jersey. The experience of planning with Tommy and Athena was priceless, there are no words to express our gratitude to The Terrace. Easily the nicest venue we looked at in the area and we are SO happy we had our wedding with them.

the final plans with him that day we knew The Terrace was the place for us. Tommy was fantastic from start to finish. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us. Our wedding wouldn't of been the same without him and his amazing staff. Everything from the cocktail hour, to our amazing bridal servant, to the service, the food, the atmosphere, and the rooftop. Everything was just more than we ever imagined. We are so happy we chose The Terrace. Every single one of our guests raved about the food, service, and our amazing cocktail hour. I highly recommend this professional staff and venue to everyone that wants a wedding with a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Tommy and Paula really have a passion for making your wedding day perfect in every way and you will feel that from the first day you meet them and they will not disappoint you in any way. The best in every aspect.

he established restaurant Biagios. My mom and I worked closely with Bobby during our planning stages and he was a tremendous help in planning our menu and meeting all of our needs before the big day. His expertise in wedding planning was invaluable and he was a pleasure to work with.
The day of our wedding was a dream come true! The cocktail hour was amazing, not only was the food outstanding but the presentation was on point throughout the entire evening. Our guests were so impressed. The quality of food ranks among all top venues in the area. Our reception room was stunning, spacious, elegant and lent itself to a party space beyond compare. My guests were blown away by the Viennese extravaganza and the amazing themed stations that were memorable and thrilled guests of all ages. At the end of the night countless guests approached us saying that it was the best wedding they had ever been to!! We were thrilled to hear such positive feedback from our guests!
The staff and service on the wedding day really made the evening complete. I was so at ease knowing everything was being tended to. Paula managed the evening flawlessly! She went above and beyond for us and it was so appreciated. Overall, this venue is the perfect combination of excellent quality, service, and professionalism that you would desire for a perfect wedding day.
