La-Vera Party Center

hey immediately treated us like family. Sam made things super easy for us, and catered to our needs. He was always available for questions, meetings, or anything we needed. He made the planning process very stress-free, which was a huge help on us. We knew we could count on Sam right away. We had both rooms for the night, which turned out perfect. There was plenty of space for cocktail hour, eating, and dancing. The layout of everything looked beautiful. The staff were very friendly and had great service the entire night. As for the food, I don’t know where to begin. This was by far the best wedding food we have ever had, and we think the 300 people that we had at our wedding would agree. We don’t think anybody left hungry. From the appetizers, to the dinner, to the late night snack, LaVera offered us plenty of food, and not a single thing disappointed. They are a great Italian family owned business that puts others needs in front of their own. We would like to thank Sam for making our day the best day of our lives, and Carl for reaching out to us the following days to make sure everything went as we hoped. I would absolutely recommend anybody, big group or small, to consider LaVera to host your needs!

our caterer was the best decision we made. The staff were incredibly attentive, making our day truly unforgettable. The food was phenomenal, with guests raving that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Working with Carl, the owner, was seamless; he was always available and communication was straightforward. If you're looking for a caterer in Cleveland, La Vera is hands down the best. I've already recommended them to friends with upcoming weddings.

e/dessert, late night food. Everything was top notch. Our guests raved all night about the food. This place is a home run hire for any couple looking for a wedding caterer. Not only amazing food, but great people to work with who will do everything they can for you.

e absolute best. We also had our ceremony here as well and they set it up beautifully. I highly recommend this venue!

e it as less stress as possible. We got so many compliments on the food and the service during our reception. The hall was absolutely beautiful and set up just how we would have imagined. Working with a family run establishment was amazing and I would recommend them to everyone.

ng felt as normal and amazing as could be. The food was delicious and the staff nice and accommodating. As with most halls I know of, we did have to set up all the tables ourselves the night before and tear down and pack up ourselves the night of the wedding.

to negotiate pricing. We got so much thrown in at a very reasonable price. They even provide catering and full bar service. I will definitely use them again 😊

one like family. Anthony was so easy to work with and very responsive to my many, many questions. If I ever need to plan a large event again, I will definitely host it at LaVera.

ng process. Anthony and his team took care of every detail and took so much stress off our shoulders. They set up all the center pieces and decor (they have center pieces included in the package to use as well if you don't have your own!). The food was AMAZING. They have so many great options and easily accommodated everything our guests needed in terms of food restrictions. Service was prompt and you can tell they have been doing this for a while. They are experts at running events like this and we can honestly say we had NO issues the day of our wedding. Communication leading up to the wedding was easy and we never had any issues reaching or meeting with them. Anthony and his team were so kind to meet or call and talk through ALL the questions I had throughout the months leading up to the wedding. I am beyond thrilled that we ended up deciding to book with them because it made planning and execution of the day so much easier on us. We HIGHLY recommend them for weddings and any other type of event or catering you need. We are still hearing from our guests how wonderful the reception was and that is a large testament to La Vera and the work they did for us.

of the best weddings they have ever been to. The owners are the nicest people who want nothing more than to make your day the most amazing day ever! Everything was just the way I imagined and they took care of every detail.

ore hand. I had a bad experience with my cake for the wedding reception it was not done in the middle of the bottom tier ;( my family and I were very disappointed because we LOVE cake. There was no refund given because it was gifted through La Vera's . Overall I loved LaVera's I hired a decorator and everything was beautiful and the food was bomb.com!! You cannot go wrong with the lemon butter chicken.

out anything, this is the place. Anthony and his family were amazing during the entire wedding process. He met with us and allowed us to come in as many times as we want/needed for planning our wedding or just asking questions. Anything we wanted, Anthony allowed. He made the entire thing so much less stressful. He allowed us to bring in all of our decorations a few days before. We were in the crystal room and it was beautiful! Anthony has the Chiavari chairs for all of the tables that are included in booking with him (which was an additional cost for those chairs at every other venue we had looked at prior). Another unique thing about this venue is that they allow you to bring your own alcohol, which is a huge bonus! They are also very flexible, and will extend your hall time if you choose to keep the party going. Staff assists with set-up and take down and all of the linens were included. Another benefit is that our cake was included in the hall fee and it too was not only beautiful, but so delicious! All of the food was absolutely amazing and all of our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! Anything we wanted, Anthony made happen. Anthony offers an ice bar, which we had never heard of before, but it was worth every penny. It Is a total eye catcher, and we filled it with open crab legs/claws, ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and sushi. They had even made us a plate for our table to make sure we got to try everything. Anthony even coached us on how to cut the cake when he saw us visibly struggling. He also gave a really nice, short speech during our wedding. You really cannot go wrong with this place. Everything from beginning to end with them was amazing and they helped make the entire day and process way less stressful. I would recommend La Vera to anybody.

ou bring your own alcohol which saves you $$. Anthony is very laid back and easy to work with. It’s beautiful. We were in the crystal room and got so many compliments!

napkins, the centerpieces... They were extremely flexible when any changes needed to be made in terms of timing as well. The food was absolutely amazing. We chose family style, and my guests were stuffed to the brim! The staff and owners were so nice and treated everybody like family. Great prices! They are located very close to hotels which made shuttle service easy. The crystal room is absolutely beautiful, and they did a great job of setting up all my decorations I brought along. Plenty of room for the tables and the dance floor. Thanks again!

y to work with, professional and does not pressure you at all -- which was important to us. Felt like working with family when working with Anthony. We booked the crystal room which is absolutely stunning! It was everything we were looking for – elegant, classy and just beautiful. The food was beyond phenomenal and was all homemade. Our guests would not stop complimenting us on how beautiful the hall was and how delicious he food was. Anthony and his staff made our wedding day run so smoothly that we did not have to worry about anything because Anthony had it covered. Thank you so much Anthony and everyone at La Vera for making our wedding day perfect!

eeds were met on our big day! We had a wide variety of decorations, pictures, etc. to set up and it all looked wonderful for the big event. They were easy to work with and flexible in the months leading up to the wedding. The only minor issue we ran into was that they agreed (with our lighting vendor) to plug in the light for our monogram before the reception began. The light was never plugged in, so we didn't get to see/use the monogram during the reception. Again, this was a minor issue that my husband and I only realized the day after the reception. All in all, La Vera is a family owned and operated business that prides itself on its quality service - we were very pleased with how everything turned out and our guests raved about the venue and food! Would recommend without hesitation!

y responsive to our questions, flexible, had fantastic food and affordable!!! Highly recommend checking them out!!

ryone had a wonderful time. The food and service were excellent! Everything was perfect! Thank you for making our dream come true!

iful surprise! Because of La-Vera, our reception was one for the books, not only for my husband and I, but also for all of our guests! I would recommend them for any event! Especially your wedding!

Everyone had such a wonderful time at our reception!

The food was dropped off on time and the service we got from La Vera was excellent. We were provided with an excellent package of their food that we picked up and were able to try at home. When we called someone always answered and we felt comfortable that everything would be taken care of. Definitely recommend!

s come on a Friday night to try their food for free. Other locations we were looking at were charging approximately 50+ dollars per person to try their food. Anthony always got right back to me with any questions that I had. The food on our wedding night was unbelievable! We ate family style and each meal came out promptly after the other. The guests were commenting how delicious the salad dressing, the pasta sauce, the potatoes, the beef tenderloin and the chicken were! I strongly advise you to give Anthony a call!! Anthony gave us suggestions on different vendors who were affordable and great! Instead of this being a difficult process, Anthony made it easy and affordable. Anthony also bought back some of our alcohol.

It was the best day of our lives and La Vera was one of the main reasons for that!! Thank you soooo much :)

t for the big night. Food is excellent, great menu to choose from. We did family style. The cake is included in the overall price, and is made by local bakery. It was delicious and all my guests raved about it. We also chose the option with the pastry spread, homemade desserts by la vera. That was a huge hit. The room is beautiful in its own right, and our added touched with centerpieces looked great. We got the chair cover option which really adds an elegant look to the room. We were responsible for bringing our own alcohol, which saved us a lot of money. If we ran out of a specific thing, we could purchase a backup bottle from the venue. This helped a lot. At the end of the evening all the leftover food, cake and alcohol are packed up ready to be sent home. The staff was a pleasure to work with, from the beginning days of our planning, right til the very end of our wedding night. I would recommend every bride to be to look into La Vera. It's a well known place with a great reputation.

, the cakes, and security are all included in your price. The food was delicious, the Tuscan Room was beautiful, and service was great. We got SOOOO MANY compliments on our choice of venue. We are 100% happy with our choice to use LaVera. **bonus- you get to bring in all of your own alcohol, which is a huge $ saver. **

food, and stellar service.

! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. To top it all off, we had the option to take the extra food or donate it to a local shelter.

! The food was outstanding and people are still talking about their "family style". Everything from the bartenders to the servers were sweet and very fast. Anthony made sure everything from decorations, to lighting, to ceremony room was just how we wanted. I would recommend anyone to La-Vera Party Center! If you want a fairy tale wedding like my husband and I, while not having to deal with stress. This is the way to go! Thanks again for making our night, a night that NOONE will ever forget!Jessica Leigh-Finney Brown

e else! Thanks again everyone at La Vera!!

ts are very reasonable and you get way more than what you pay for. La-Vera went above and beyond!

always responded to phone calls in a timely manner and always made time to speak with us if we stopped by to look at the room again, and again. I cannot express how awesome Tony and his workers are. The food is out of this world and the room is clean from floor to ceiling.
