Words cannot describe how amazing Insignia and the staff members are! This was the only venue me and my now husband went to go see and we fell in love instantly. Initially we worked mainly with Marissa who was always so sweet! We had to post...
pone twice and both Marissa and Mirela were amazing and understanding. Once we started planning again we worked with Mirela who was absolutely amazing. She definitely understands the stress of planning a wedding! The day of the wedding I could not believe how beautiful the reception space was. I was so nervous because of the weather and she was so reassuring that they would make it work no matter what and she did! Our server for the day was Erin and she made sure that we were never thirsty or hungry! The food...the drinks...the space...the service is outstanding! Do not hesitate to book this venue!

Stars! The entire staff is extremely dedicated and attentive to all your personal touches to make the day special. They always replied quickly to any questions we had, etc. Kaven took care of my husband and I the day of the wedding and he was also fantastic. He always ensured we had plenty of food and drinks and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything throughout the night. The entire staff is friendly and helpful no matter who you are working with. I also highly recommend the bacon station and the nutella stuffed cookies as an exit station! Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food they were eating at a wedding. Weeks later we are still receiving phone calls about the amazing food and service from family and friends. I am looking forward to having many anniversary dinners at Insignia and want to thank everyone again for making our day perfect.

lly cared about our experience. You can just tell. I'll keep it brief.. you have the whole place to yourself. Cocktail hour in the gorgeous bar area and patio - not like a catering hall but like an upscale steakhouse bar. The same fantastic drinks and the same bartenders who work the restaurant. Steakhouse appetizers - not catering hall appetizers! Dinner - again, real steakhouse food! Great choices. All top notch food. The service was fantastic. Everyone we came across was helpful and eager to make sure we had the BEST time! Oh, and you will not believe how affordable this is! I never would have even considered Insignia if my wife hadn't called just out of curiosity about pricing. Seriously....it's amazing. Finally, the space is really beautiful. Upscale and not at all gaudy or cheesy like a catering hall. Shout out to our band "Mean Machine" who made the wedding so much fun! Highly recommended!

or something different - not a traditional catering hall. Insignia was our first and only choice. Mirela was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so helpful with all of my questions and extremely accommodating with my schedule. She made the planning process a breeze and was able to bring my vision to life. We had the ceremony and reception and Insignia and we are still receiving compliments about both. The whole venue is so beautifully decorated -- it really stands out against the "traditional" wedding venues. You feel the NYC vibe without leaving Long Island. The staff at Insignia is highly efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We can’t rave enough about the amazing food and drinks at Insignia. The menu options are beyond anything we’ve ever seen at a wedding. If you are looking for an unforgettable wedding, I highly recommend Insignia.

hat we got! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect--not ONE problem! From when we arrived for our first look to the moment we left, everything was flawless. We had our ceremony there and it was so lovely. Following the ceremony, I cherish the quiet moments that my husband and I had. We were given a platter of delicious cocktail hour food and had the opportunity to enjoy our just married excitement in private. Because Insignia is a restaurant, the food was perfection. We did a sit down meal with six entrees and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Our server was Josue and he was so attentive, friendly, and reliable. He had waters ready the moment I needed it, he had new drinks in our hands the second they looked close to empty, and served us absolutely every dish available! He made great recommendations and made our day perfect. I have to share how wonderful Mirela is. Going into planning a wedding, I was very nervous based on experiences I had heard about, but Mirela eased every concern I had every step of the way. She has handled my never ending questions for six months with quick and kind responses, she maintained a fun stress-free environment, she was calming when needed, and she coordinated the most perfect day. By the time we had our final details meeting, I knew it would be the best day of my life--and it was. Insignia is an incredible venue and I highly recommend that you check it out!

anxious mess until my final meeting with Marissa, and after sitting down with her to go over final details, it was clear I had nothing to worry about. Marissa had EVERYTHING under control. My only job was to enjoy myself! I heard horror stories from friend saying they didn’t eat or drink a thing on their wedding day, which was definitely not the case for us! Our attendant, Liz, was amazing! Always making sure I had a fresh ice water (with a straw so I didn’t mess up my lipstick!), and a fresh cocktail if I stood in one spot for more than 5 minutes. She would seek us out to tell us that our food was being served so we didn’t miss it, and then when we did miss it bc we were too busy dancing, she would box everything up for us to take home. Insignia’s attention to detail is unmatched. And I couldn’t imagine working with any other team on my wedding day!

Insignia was the first and only location we visited when picking our venue. I knew that I wanted something different, but different often comes with a lot of work, stress, a large bill, and very little guarantee. However Insignia was everything...
I wanted, and nothing I didn’t all in one. What Mirela and the entire staff did that truly made our day what it was. From our first meeting to every email, Mirela answered every single one of my questions directly, honestly, and with care. There were no hidden policies or fees, and I never felt uneasy about a thing. She never forgot anything I asked for, never tried to disregard any concern, and went out of her way to make everything as easy, convenient and as straightforward as possible. A quick list of all the things Mirela and the staff did to accommodate us and make our wedding absolutely perfect: Perfectly set up all of our decor, and truly paid attention to all the details. Made extra time for our florist and their set up. Gave us our own display of appetizers during the cocktail hour and made sure we had time to eat them just the two of us. Mirela flawlessly orchestrated our ceremony procession and fixed my train before I walked down the aisle as well as secured my bustle during cocktail hour. Made sure all of our decor and personal items were together and ready to go, as well as packed up leftover food (which was amazing). They did literally everything without hesitation or an ounce of pushback. From the hostess, to the waiters, the bartenders, valet, and to our own personal attendant, every single person went above and beyond. They made our guests feel like they weren’t only attending a wedding, but that they were having their own night out where they were just as seen and important as anyone else. Our family and friends are still talking about the food. The appetizers blew away any wedding appetizers people have had before. Guests shared with us they felt that not only was the food the best they’ve ever eaten at a wedding, but that is was some of the best food they have ever eaten in general. At the bar, our guests absolutely loved that they could literally drink the best of anything they wanted, and they are still talking about the pomegranate martinis. At one point, a family member dropped a fork and as he was getting up to get a new one, one of the waiters had already noticed and replaced it for him. Our own attendant was so accommodating that not only were our champagne glasses never empty, but she made sure that they were never even the slightest bit warm, always bringing us chilled refills. Also worth noting that everyone always tells people when wedding planning is to make sure the bride and groom eats. It was impossible for us not to eat on our day. There was so much food brought right to us, and so much time for us to sit and eat that we felt so cared for. The morning after our wedding, a family member asked if anything went wrong or if there was anything I would have done differently. I had to stop and pause because I didn’t realize until she had asked, that not a single thing had gone wrong, and that there was not a single thing I would have done differently. I don’t think I could have said that if it were not for Insignia and Mirela. Our day felt as if it wasn’t just another wedding, but that ours was the only wedding.

beyond so many times. She is quick to respond to emails. She had a great vision for the space and how it will fit your wedding. We booked for Saturday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. We had a few people drop last minute because of medical emergencies and she literally was able to add the $300 to give our guests extra food for the wedding. Honestly, this place was a dream to work with. Even day of, we had an amazing server just for my husband and I who always made sure we were eating and drinking and had a fun time. When I was sweaty from dancing and said something about getting a napkin before the next round of photos, a server was right there to give me one. Absolutely incredible. I look back even months later and cannot believe what the venue pulled off. Thank you Mirela and the team at Insignia. The professionalism was amazing, the food was AMAZING, and the way you treated us and our guests was above and beyond. Thank you so much for making our day the best day of our lives!

Elegant, modern, fun, chic, exceptional service & top quality food. Planning a wedding is stressful, let me save you some trouble. Do not look anywhere else for a venue. Insignia is the place to be. When we were starting the search for a venue,...
we visited a few traditional reception halls - none of them felt like “us.” We decided to check out Insignia, and as soon as we walked in, we knew it was meant to be. From our first meeting with Mirela, she made the process a breeze. She was so supportive through the whole process, answering our million-and-one questions. She and the team were incredibly accommodating, willing to do whatever it took to make sure we were happy. On the day of the wedding, Mirela helped with last minute details, helping to setup our décor (place cards, favors, bubbles for the ceremony, etc.) and making sure every detail was covered. She even put the final touches on our wedding cake – after our florist and baker dropped things off, she added the cake topper and put fresh flowers on our cake – it came out exactly as I envisioned. During the chaos of cocktail hour & photographs, she made sure my husband and I had a few minutes to ourselves to rest and reflect; a private table was prepared for us to enjoy our appetizers. Our attendant Kaven was always nearby, offering us a fresh drink, serving our food, and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food, the gorgeous venue, and the overall ambiance of the day. It was absolutely the most perfect day!

The food was absolutely amazing, and all of the extras were well worth the fees. The bourbon and cigar bar was a huge hit with the guests. We would absolutely recommend Insignia for your wedding or for any event! 5 stars without hesitation.

mething uniquely different than your typical wedding hall atmosphere and Insignia was exactly that. We only had to visit two places to realize Insignia was the one. Not only were we immediately swept away with the gorgeous decor, delicious food and the option to have the entire restaurant to ourselves, it was really Mirela, our Banquet Sales Manager, who solidified our decision to book with Insignia for our wedding day ceremony and reception. Her sweet and welcoming, yet very professional personality made us feel like we were immediately in great hands. And we were! My husband, who is not the easiest to please, left our initial meeting so impressed by Mirela’s ability to sense our needs and cater to our personalities to a tee. She never once tried to oversell or make us feel like we had to book. She worked with us on pricing, answered each and every email (and there were a ton!) quickly and in detail, reassuring me everything would be perfect. And it truly was! She really was my go to girl for everything! On the day of Mirela coordinated everything to perfection, working with her staff and all of our other vendors on setup, scheduling and flow. Even when a few curve balls came her way, Mirela and team were on point! The food, service, and decor was outstanding! The compliments have not stopped and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! To any future couple looking for an outside of the box venue that flawlessly delivers, I highly recommend Insignia Steakhouse!

Over the next 6 months Mirela responsed to every crazy email, request and even last minute overwhelmed bride melt-down tantrum with not only an extremely prompt response but also the perfect solution. No request was ever too big or a problem. We cannot say enough good things about her. Such a pleasure. And Mirela kept it up and was right by our side throughout the reception, making sure all our needs were met and that everything ran on schedule. Mirela’s example was followed by the entire staff. Every server at our reception was beyond attentive and even intuitive to the needs of our guests. The service was just impeccable! And of course the food was to die for. It’s a week later and people are still calling and texting talking about how that was not only the best wedding food they have ever had, but the best meal they have ever had. Insignia was hands down absolute perfection from start to finish and made our wedding our favorite day ever.

Long Island wedding. We wanted a small, elegant affair to share with some close friends and family and a top notch dining experience. As soon as we walked in and spoke with Mirela, we knew we had to book our wedding here and we couldn’t have been happier. Our day was perfect. Everyone on staff was friendly, extremely attentive and so professional. I can’t say enough about the food-it is unbelievable. My guests are still talking about how amazing the cocktail hour and dinner was. As a gluten-free bride and a foodie, I was apprehensive about what my choices would be. Mirela worked closely with me and staff to make sure I had a variety of things to eat. They also accommodated guests that had special dietary needs. It is this kind of attention to detail that helps make Insignia so special. This venue is also beautiful, and the wine cellar was a nice place to take wedding pictures. Originally, we had met with Mirela and worked with her on most of the plans. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Just a few weeks before the wedding, Mirela informed me that she was not going to be available the day of our wedding but assured me that we are in good hands with Keri. As a bride, I was a little uneasy about this transition but after meeting with Keri, all of my anxiety disappeared. Keri is not only a genuinely sweet person, Keri went above and beyond to make sure this day was special in every way. I received so many compliments from family, guests and vendors on how she made every transition seamless. I would like to thank Mirela and Keri and everyone at Insignia for making our wedding day so special. If you are considering booking your wedding at Insignia, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Insignia. ~Kristi & Michael.

I don’t even know where to begin! We got married at Insignia on 7/21/18 and still have not stopped receiving phone calls from family and friends that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Over a year ago, when we began the venue process...
, we knew we wanted different. We had been to over 15 weddings before ours, all using the typical venue and wedding day timeline and it just wasn’t for us. We did visit some of the best in the business — including the Harbor Club, Carltun, Fox Hollow— and nothing even came close to comparing to Insignia. Plus — once we met Mirela it was a done deal. She’s the absolute best! So warm and down to earth — she truly cares about each of her brides and couples as if it’s the only wedding she has to worry about. Food — I will guarantee you won’t even close come to the food at Insignia. Two salad options, 5 entrees(unheard of) and three desserts. No other venue can beat that. Cocktail hour - 10 different passed apps all done butler style — which is the way to go! You can’t juggle a plate and a drink and a purse and possible be able to talk to everyone you want. Our guests loved that they could catch up with old friends and an app would come around to them! We splurged on the sushi platters and was well worth the money. So incredibly fresh and delicious. Everyone was raving! My husband and I wanted to change the signature drinks and we met Mirela one Sunday afternoon and her and the bartender made us nine different full sized ones to choose from — all on them! You won’t get that service anywhere else either. On our wedding day our nerves and emotions were so high my husband and I didn’t want to eat our dinner because we wanted to make sure we could enjoy it and Mirela and Kaven (our personal attendant who was fantastic) packed everything up — all the sides and salads and we enjoyed the next day together! I just can’t say enough!! Brides don’t make the mistake of going anywhere else but Insignia. I promise you you’ll have the time of your life and so will each and everyone of your guests! To Mirela and the entire Insignia staff — thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will see on our anniversary!! xoxo

we jumped into wedding planning mode and started visiting venue after venue, weekend after weekend, after a few months we had nothing! I remember being in tears and feeling like I would never find what I wanted. After a few months and a ton of research Insignia came up on our radar. Who would have thought.. wedding at a steak house? After visiting the venue for the first time I felt like my prayers had been answered! Finally a place I could see us getting married! And after meeting Mirela and her staff we knew this was the place we had to get married. That night I went home and read every single review... there was not one negative comment and now we know why ! She is so detail oriented and organized when it came down to the week of the wedding. Everything was discussed, and nothing was missed. She took the necessary time to answer every one of my questions no matter how crazy they were. She is extremely kind,caring and knew what to say to make me feel that everything was going to go off without a hitch! And did it! All I remember is seeing Mirela as soon as I walked in Saturday April 28th. I took my first sigh of relief at that moment and knew everything was going to be GREAT. The day was absolute perfect! I know everyone is concerned with having a day wedding... but in that venue it can't be done any other way. Everyone told me how much fun they had sitting outside on the couches, at the bar and especially out on the dance floor. There was something for everyone. Me and my husband were super concerned that we would miss cocktail hour, getting caught up talking to people and all. Mirela made sure that she pulled us aside and gave me and my husband some much needed time together and were able to enjoy every single appetizer. Sean was our waiter for the night and always made sure he had a fresh drink for us at all times! After the wedding ended we never felt like they were rushing us out.. everyone moved into the bar area and made for a smooth transition to the next part of the day!. We can't thank Insignia enough for making our wedding everything we hoped and dreamed for! We cant wait to go back every year and have our anniversary dinner!

a patient, warm demeanor and runs a flawless wedding. We had our nuptials here as well. I honestly could not believe how stunning the ambiance was. It took my breath away. The staff managed to transform the room with quiet controlled ease, from rows of chairs to all dressed tables and chairs for dining in less than an hour. The FOOD! Oh boy!! You have to understand you will have difficult decisions to make when selecting the options you want served at your wedding . Each tastes deliciously unique and presentation is sophisticated. Also, realize the restaurant layout is smartly planned. Our guests had so many areas to go to. We had an incredible DJ, and for those who wanted to take a break from dancing could easily walk back into the dining room or into the bar quarters and order any cocktail they desired (jalapeno margarita!) and take a moment to relax and chat. They could chill at the enormous wrap around bar, or sit in the sun on the blue stone patio under a pergola. The décor? Geesh!! They nailed it! I woke up to 206 texts all claiming an amazing and memorable experience. We just got married yesterday, more texts are still coming in, lol. Thank You Mirela!

My husband and I got married on 4/22/17 and it's so hard to put into words how amazing our wedding at Insignia was! We cannot stop talking about how amazing it was and both me and my husband hear on a constant basis from our family and friends ...
how lovely the event was and how delicious the food and drinks were! To begin, Mirela is a beautiful person inside and out to work with. She's so fast to respond and she really cares about her couples getting married. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at a venue that food and drinks were the absolute show stoppers and everything exceeded our expectations and was truly brilliant! We chose the buffet option so our guests could try all the different food options and so that we could have the sushi bar. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing and our guests have been raving non stop since the wedding. The venue itself is truly the best because you can transform the entire restaurant and have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all on site with it feeling slightly different. The way in which they are able to transform the rooms is absolutely stunning and our guests loved that everything was in one place and couldn't believe that the room we had the ceremony in was the same room we were now having dinner served. Other things we loved was the large spaced dance floor so it never felt cramped (we had 133 guests), the waitstaff/bartenders as they were so kind and diligent and provided amazing service to not only my husband and I but ALL our guests, the plentiful cocktail hour where the amazingly delicious food just kept coming out, and just the way in which Mirela was able to provide the utmost best service and accommodate all our requests. The space has so much beauty that it doesn't need much glamming up as it is luxurious to begin with! This also made our pictures turn out absolutely stunning!!! Mirela made the entire day go so smoothly and her and her staff just exceeded our expectations beyond belief. My husband and I absolutely loved everything about our wedding day and would recommend an Insignia wedding to anyone who wants to have a wedding that will be the perfect day for not only the bride and groom but also for every guest in attendance. We are hoping that we get invited to an Insignia wedding in the future so that we can experience the wonderful day again!

Truly and honestly, a review is not fitting. You need to experience all the amazingness Insignia has to offer first hand. I held my wedding here last weekend, and everyday since, I have been re-living each and every moment. I wanted a classy ...
and elegant affair that would leave guests speechless, and I accomplished that and much more. From the very start, the venue coordinator, Mirela was professional, warm and engaging and at the very end, a much needed voice of reason. I felt that she truly cared about making my day memorable and never once did I feel like she was too busy to answer the many ridiculous and often, repeat questions I had. She was attentive and made sure to execute every detail exactly how I envisioned. As far as affordability, Insignia provides the best value in the NY wedding market. You have several menu options, all of which include passed hors d'oeuvre's, liquor options, and a multitude of food and desserts, Mirela and her team come with the venue and are unlike any other venue coordinating team in the industry as they setup and breakdown on the day of the event. You will have your own personal server that keeps your food and drinks replenished and thankfully they pack a to-go box of all the food you wont have time to eat :) Remember to ask for the pastry's to-go, I forgot to make that request and sadly was not able to taste the delicious pastry's my guests gushed about. Be prepared for a daytime wedding; as this may be a non-negotiable for some brides, you will never notice the difference. The atmosphere is delicate and romantic and definitely feels like an evening affair. I could continue to go on and on, but like I said previously, you need to experience Insignia firsthand. If you are looking to create a unique out of the box experience, I highly recommend Insignia. You will not regret your decision. Thank you Mirela and team for making my day a magical experience.

sts have been raving about it, and almost every single person mentioned how great it was as they said bye to us that day. The staff truly went above and beyond and we've received a ton of compliments on how nice and attentive everyone was. I worked with Mirela for a little over a year and she always answered my emails promptly and made time for us if we wanted to stop by. The day of, my bakery made my cake the completely wrong color - turquoise blue instead of gray! I was willing to let it go, but Mirela called them and insisted that they pick the cake up, re-ice it, and drop it back off, all between cocktail hour and the cake cutting. Not one person besides the groom and myself had any idea that it ever happened and now I can love the pictures of our cake-cutting instead of frowning at a turquoise blue cake. Even my guests noticed how she was so on top of everything and made the whole day run smoothly. I did not have to worry about a thing - she directed our ceremony, rounded up parents and bridal party when they were needed, even found my lipstick and helped me re-apply before we made our entrance. Our head waiter, Travis, took such great care of us, constantly had a drink and a water in our hands, and also made sure that we ate at both cocktail hour and dinner! They also wrapped up a bunch of leftovers so we could enjoy it again the next day. On top of that, the space is just stunning - once I saw it the first time I couldn't even consider going anywhere else. Having our wedding here was truly the best decision we made and I would do it again without thinking twice. I could keep raving about it but all in all, if you want amazing food, outstanding service, and a jaw-dropping venue, look no further.

The bridal attendant was 100% a professional, knew exactly when to ask if I needed something, brought over appetizers, numerous entrees, and plenty of champagne and signature cocktails. I have been to weddings before where the bridal attendants smother the bride but Insignia knows EXACTLY what they are doing. There is not enough praise I can give Mirela. I hate to admit but I was known to have a hint of bridezilla and severe OCD. Attention to detail is my strong suit and Mirela did not miss one beat. The day before the wedding I came to Insignia will an enormous amount of "stuff" that needed to be set up for the reception. I wanted everything to be placed exactly where I wanted it/how I wanted it in order to ensure my day was perfect. I remember walking into Insignia the day of the wedding and everything was set up PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!! if you ever wanted to have your dream wedding, with the absolute best quality of food/drinks (I know this because my guests have not stopped raving about the entire event), without the stress knowing Mirela will take care of EVERYTHING for you, Insignia is the place. At first, my husband and I were against a day wedding but it was the best thing we could have ever done. There was no wasted time or sitting around it was literally an all day event. The day flies by so fast to begin with but having the day wedding allowed us to celebrate the day from the early morning until late evening. From getting ready to going straight to the church, then to Insignia, and then an after party. It was the best day of my life, truly.

All I have to say is WOW! Our wedding was yesterday and I am already writing a review, this is how amazing and how much I LOVE everyone at Insignia. We had 92 guests at our wedding, along with a 10 piece live band. Mirela was our coordinator - ...
there are not enough words to tell you how wonderful she is to work with. I always felt like I was the only bride she had (little did I know, she was busy handling 80 other weddings booked this year and you would NEVER know it). She answered all of my emails within no time at all. There was no task too small or too big for her to accomplish. During all the stress of a wedding, she helped me stay cool, calm, and collected with her professionalism and her passion for what she does. The food- outrageous. My guest went on and on and on about it. We chose the option that was $99/plate (I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THIS PRICE FOR THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE FOOD)which gave us 8 appetizers to be served during cocktail hour, stations dinner - filet Mignon, leg of lamb, sushi platter (constantly refilled as guests ate), mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, truffle mac and cheese, and salad. Dessert was mini cheesecakes, mini doughnut bites, mini chocolate mousse pies, cookies, wedding cake, and hot chocolate shots (we requested the shots). Like I said, the food was amazing. This is high quality restaurant food - not catering food - HUGE difference. The ambiance is classy and elegant - fire places, low lighting, glass wine cellar on the second floor - pure elegance. There is a cigar lounge outside (you can buy cigars there or bring your own) that has lamp heaters in case it is cold (my guests LOVED this area). The best part is you rent out the whole restaurant so cocktail hour is the entire bar, then the dancing room is the next room over, then the dining room is after that. I LOVED having this space and type of separation. And me and my groom were treated like VIPs!! Constantly served drinks and food without even having to ask. We were late to cocktail hour because of pictures and the staff brought us a HUGE plate of all of the appetizers and set us aside to a private table to enjoy our food before heading back to the crowd. They served us plates of dinner as soon as we sat down and had our dessert plates ready at our little table for when we were ready. All of the staff were friendly and so attentive. The only thing left for me to say is, BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! My guests cannot stop texting me telling me how amazing and different our wedding was.

OMG I don't even know where to begin. I guess a year ago from today (1/5/2015) We visited Insignia for the first time. We found it in a Brides Magazine and this place matched the ambiance we've wanted. We met with Mirela (Who is basically th...
e one of the most coolest and easy going people on earth) and she guided us through every single step the entire year. The staff is totally awesome and I thank each and every one of them because they were just cool and helpful. The day before the wedding Mirela and staff were such MVP's because I was doing a whole lot of running around (It was a bad storm passing on November 19th 2015) and I very quickly detailed her what would go where (Table decor, etc). Next day the wedding day was incredible. Not going to lie I was stressing out (as a virgo you tend to be a bit of a perfectionist) and Mirela and staff took care of everything. They asked my wife and I if we were ok, if we needed anything and took real good care of us. Our personal server Kavin was awesome. Such a down to earth person and took really good care of us throughout the entire reception. Bottom line is that Insignia Steakhouse went above and beyond with details, communication and most importantly being personable. I recommend any bride and groom to book with Insignia. They made us feel fantastic and they are really awesome. Thank you Mirela and staff at Insignia, Best, Stephanie and Joe P.S See you in November (Every Year) :)
