We recently held our wedding reception at Dante and were absolutely thrilled with our experience. The venue is modern and classy, which provided the perfect backdrop for our specia...
l day.
• Staff and Service: The staff at Dante were professional and eager to help. Every guest was taken care of as if it was their special day. The organizer was kind and helpful. She handled everything with professionalism and ensured the evening was tailored to our desires.
• Catering/Food: The food was perfect. Everything tasted incredible and we did not hear a single complaint. Many describe the food as the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. The wood-fired pizzas for hors d'oeuvres were a hit and some of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, especially the pistachio one.
• Facilities: The venue was small yet intimate, clean, classy, and modern. The valet was much needed as there wasn’t a parking lot and we were happy to pay for our guests to not have to worry about parking a block or two away on the streets and walking.
• Flexibility: The venue handled setup and cleanup, all we had to do was drop off our decorations the day before and they handled everything. Working with the organizer and pastry chef, we had a gorgeous cake that really captured the theme of our wedding.
We highly recommend Dante to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized venue for their special event. We know for sure we’ll be back for future events.
Thank you all so much!!

We are SO happy that we booked Dante Catering for our wedding! From our initial emails with Stephanie, to the wedding day, she went above and beyond to help us plan the perfect men...
u and experience for us and our guests. She is extremely organized and communicative, and we could not be more grateful for her help. We had the best time at our tasting, and an even better time on our wedding day enjoying the delicious food and drinks. We got so many compliments from our guests, with many remarking that it was the best food at a wedding they'd ever had. Not only that, but the entire team Dante had at our wedding (including Chef Dante himself!) were amazing. They made sure every single guest was taken care of, and overall provided an incredible experience. We cannot recommend Dante Catering enough, and look forward to continuing to support all of the Dante restaurants for years to come!

We had an incredible wedding thanks to the team at Dante Private Events and Catering. From our very first meeting with Stephanie, we knew we were in great hands. Stephanie was an a...
bsolute gem—so friendly, fun, and just a wonderful person to know. She made the whole process easy, and treated us like a friend.
Communication throughout was top-notch. Every email we sent (and we sent a lot!) was met with a timely, thoughtful response. We had a lot of specific requests and menu ideas, and the team never blinked—they just rolled with it and helped us craft the exact fine dining experience we imagined, with Dante’s signature touch.
They even managed the dinnerware and linen subcontractor for us, which saved us a ton of time and hassle. Just one more example of how they go above and beyond.
The night of the wedding, the food was phenomenal. Truly some of the best we've ever had—and we're not just saying that because it was our wedding. The service was flawless, and every member of the waitstaff was warm, attentive, and professional. Our guests are still talking about how good everything was—and how it all felt like a high-end restaurant experience, not “wedding food.”
We honestly can’t recommend Dante Catering enough. Worth every penny. If you're thinking about booking them, just do it. You won’t regret it.
