Macaluso's Events and Banquets

Once again Macaluso’s delivered an all around wonderful experience from the planning and day of the event. We had our daughter’s college graduation celebration at the beautiful outdoor patio. As always the food and service were amazing. Our guests raved about the venue, food and service.

Macaluso’s is a hidden gem of a venue! It is gorgeously renovated, my guests would not stop talking about how amazing the cocktail hour/dinner was. The amount of food and how everything tasted amazing. Dessert was out of this world! This venue goes above and beyond to make sure your day is great. They are so easy to work with! They have a beautiful outside area for photo opts and for your guests to enjoy! On our wedding day the MC heard we wanted Red Bull for our drinks and went out to the store to get it just so we had it. That blew my mind! The getting ready room is huge and beautiful! We had a very large party of 12 people in that room. Everyone was comfortable! I cannot rave enough about this venue and would recommend it to anyone that needed a venue. They also hold smaller events like baby showers and bridal showers. Book macaluso’s you will not regret it!

It was "Magnificient". The party was for about 35 family members with a bunch of toddlers running around.The outdoor venue was an elegant but comfortable setting . With Fountains spewing water, Fire and water, classical Archways and columns beautifully landscaped. Then came the food . The Classical Buffet was beautifully presented and it was nothing less than spectacular. THE QUALITY AND ABUNDANCE of the food was Delicious. Every single Item was perfect. All I heard from my Guests all day was, how incredible the food was. The entire staff was so professional and took to every detail. Friendly, helpful, accomodating. Couldn't do enough. The entire management team owner Elias , sons, nephews, bro- in-laws came out to the party to check on the events progress. Elias and family were soo gracious and just a delight to speak to and deal with. The attentiveness to every detail makes Macaluso's experience second to none. I highly recommend this venue for any occassion. Your guests will leave with their best experience ever. Macaluso's truly is in a class of its own. Thank you Elias , Nat , Maroon, and your gracious wife " the real boss" ; she was so charming to meet. If you are thinking of having a party. Don't waste your time shopping. Go to Macaluso's. They will exceed all your expectations.Elegance and class in every way. Un paralleled quality and value. Impeccable service and detail. Thank you Macaluso's for a great experience. It was truly a pleasure. We must do it again ! Charles and Diane Lana and Family

We chose Macaluso's for our son's 1st Birthday. The event was amazing, as were the food and the staff. The process of booking the party was easy and the management was very helpful. Throughout the planning period, they were always there to answer questions and assist. Our guests raved about the food during and after the party. Most guests said, "I wish I ate more!" They were also very accommodating for all of the vendors, including the DJ, Backdrop, and soft play area. I highly would recommend Macaluso's for any of your special event and catering needs. They truly provide great food with an elegant and easy experience.

We enjoyed celebrating my partners 70th Birthday at Macaluso's. Food was amazing and the staff exceptional. Their professionalism and how easy to work with them was outstanding. I highly recommend this venue and will have other events there. This is a real gem that is centrally located in the heart of Hawthorne, NJ. Will I recommend this venue? Yes, I was really taken by the care they took to make my event a real success. The facility was beautiful, elegant and Valet was great!

Beautiful atmosphere for such a wonderful Bridal Shower for my daughter. Such friendly and helpful staff. The food was outstanding, (especially the steak) everyone is still talking about it. 👍👍

Macaluso's outshines any other venues! My nephew had his wedding their October 23, 1921. We could not have been more satisfied. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Every wish was fulfilled.

In search of a wedding or event venue? Go straight to Macaluso’s in Hawthorne! AMAZING!!! Out of this world food, great service and just Beautiful!!! Elias, THANK YOU!! To you and everyone that made our daughter’s wedding an event to remember forever ❤️❤️ Thank you Thank you❤️❤️

There is not enough I can say about our experience with the entire Macaluso’s staff, especially Maroon and Elias. They went above and beyond all of our expectations. The food, the venue, the service and the ambiance were exceptional. Highly recommend this venue, it is outstanding!!

LOOK NO FURTHER! I had my wedding here early this month and the food was amazing. From cocktail hour to dessert my guests and I were impressed every step of the way. All of the staff were super helpful and professional. Maroon and his team from start to finnish made all of the wedding planning super easy. I was never stressed out thanks to the Macaluso's team.

Kathleen and Ronald Pellegrino ! I want to thank Macaluso’s for doing an excellent job on our special wedding day . The staff is amazing and makes everything perfect . Thank you so much for everything .

My Fiancé and I had our engagement party at Macaluso’s on April 14th and it was an absolute dream! There is not one thing I would have changed. Elias our sales rep was PHENOMENAL! I can not say enough good things about him. From the very second I called to book to the 300 times I called, he was super accommodating! So even if you think having your event here is out of reach, call anyway, they will absolutely do their best to work within your budget. All our guest raved about the food. It was DELICIOUS !! The aesthetic of the venue is out of this world. It is breath taking from the moment you walk in the lobby, and continues to take your breath away as you walk through the hallway into the main ballroom. Our guests could not stop raving about our party, the venue, the food! 10/10 for sure! Book your next event at Macaluso’s if you want a showstopper event. You WILL NOT be disappointed. A HUGE thank you to Elias, Maroon, and the entire Macaluso’s team for making us feel like family and ensuring we had a night to remember!

Words cannot describe how amazing this team is - from Elias to Nat and everyone else. Their attention to detail and assistance and accommodations are over the top and not once did I have a negative experience or incident. I can’t say enough about Elias - he is simply a wonderful human being and genuinely cares about his guests having the best experience imaginable for what should be a very memorable day for anyone having an event there. The food is top notch and every staff member is so professional and so caring - it’s as if they are assisting their own family member. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and there is so much attention detail in every corner of that place. We had the time of our lives there that day thanks to Elias and Nat - both of whom went above and beyond for us.

I had my wedding reception here on November 27. Elias really takes care of anything you need. The food was beyond amazing, and the service was even better. Brides even have help from a bride assistant, Nawal, which really made my day night so much easier. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Elias and Ceasar both were extremely professional, and helped me through the entire event. I would love to have another event there in the future!

Where do we even start? We got married last October and If we could do our wedding all over again, we would! Maroon, Cesar, Elias and the rest of the team are every Bride & Groom's dream team. They made us feel so welcomed from the day we checked out the venue. They were very accommodating of our requests. My friends and family still rave about the food & the service. My husband can't stop talking about how he never went without a drink on his hand. We had the best time at our wedding & our day went so smooth. I would love to renew our vows in years and celebrate at Macalusos again! Thank you again, Maroon for taking great care of us! Will definitely be celebrating more events there with our future children!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! My husband and I had our wedding here in mid-October. Everything was excellent - the staff, the food, the venue, all of it! Maroon was absolutely fantastic to work with and made the planning process simple and easy. We also want to give a special shout out to Maroon’s father who went above and beyond to create an amazing menu and food selection for our guests. Elias and all of the staff who assisted us the day of our wedding were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with beautiful lighting and chandeliers. And the FOOD! Everything was plentiful, excellent quality, and delicious. The cocktail hour was out-of-this world! Our guests are still raving about it. Highly recommend Macaluso’s for anyone planning a wedding or other event.

There are not enough things I can say that would properly express my gratitude and joy with how my wedding was handled at Macaluso's. The team at Macaluso's makes you feel like family from the second you walk through the door and in a world where we are shutting people out in fear of this pandemic; they welcomed us with open arms and assurance that they would help us have the day we always dreamed of. The venue and its upgrades are GOREGOUS, the food is AMAZING, and the vendors they referred us to were top notch! Their hard work and attention to detail made our day PERFECT. Now if only we could do it all over again! Thank you all for the most unforgettable night!

I was married here in August and there are just no words to express how amazing my experience was. From my first appointment to look at the venue, through booking and all the way until day of my wedding, I received top-notch service that simply doesn't compare. Maroon was phenomenal; no matter what I needed, he made happen. I didn't have a coordinator and he helped me through so much, I wouldn't have been able to do it without him. He took the time to speak with me on the phone and meet with me in person as often as I needed. He gave me ideas and pointed out things I didn't even think to consider. We went through every part of the day and worked it all out so I could relax and feel as prepared as possible. Cannot sing his praises loud enough. The entire staff went above and beyond to make my day special. Cesar was a presence, no matter what corner I turned. Whatever had to get done, he was already taking care of it without being asked. Didn't think I needed a bridal attendant- then I met Nawal. She was by my side throughout the day, making sure I was taken care of. Literally, an angel. From A-Z the Macaluso's staff was supportive, encouraging, and reliable. Planning a wedding is an extremely stressful time and they went above and beyond in every aspect. I was missing part of my flower delivery with aisle petals, flower girl petals, and my cake topper- the staff figured it out and simply fixed it. Can't talk about Macaluso's without mentioning food. Guests are still talking about it a month and a half later. The spread that is put out is not just large in quantity, but DELICIOUS. Every single guest commented on the expansive variety of dishes as well as the superb quality of each dish. TOP NOTCH in every way. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Delicious food, beautiful grounds, A++ staff. It doesn't get better than Macaluso's and I look forward to holding future events with them.

We had our daughter's Sweet 16 on 7/1/21. From the day we decided to have this event we already knew we wanted to have it at Macaluso's because of our previous experiences there. We had attended other celebrations and have worked there as an event vendor as well. Elias welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home and the staff overall was attentive and catered to every request. All of our guests still talk about what a wonderful event we had, how good the food and service was . Our daughter had an amazing time and was treated like a true princess. Thank you Macaluso's we will be back!! Mike & Claudia Narvaez.

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Macaluso's on August 1, 2021. I've held off on writing this review because I've struggled to put into words how absolutely amazing EVERYTHING at Macaluso's is. From the moment we met with Maroon and saw Macaluso's, we were blown away by how beautiful and tasteful the venue is, and how warm and accommodating the staff was from the get-go. We had been planning our wedding since 2019, and had to postpone due to the pandemic. Maroon and the rest of the staff at Macaluso's were so extremely helpful and understanding throughout the entire process. Postponing your wedding is never ideal, but we felt so lucky to be working with Macaluso's... they made it as painless as possible! Maroon was with us every step of the way, and didn't miss a single detail. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and Macaluso's was such a big part in that. I can not even begin to explain how perfect our day was. EVERY staff member devoted every ounce of their attention to anything we needed, we were treated like royalty... but a *very* special shoutout to Maroon (our go-to!!), Nowal (a true angel), and Elias (so kind!) who really went above and beyond. Our guests can not stop talking about how amazing our wedding was and so many people have told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to (with the most epic cocktail hour). Actually, I can't even mention Macaluso's without someone telling me how amazing the place is. Macaluso's and their staff will always be a very special part of our lives and we look forward to many more celebrations there over the years. The Mousas

My fairytale wedding came true because of macalusos! I just got married there on 8/14/21 and it was a dream come true. Myself, husband and immediate family didn’t have to worry about a thing! The staff there handled everything and were so nice and thoughtful. Even the planning up to the big day, they helped with every little thing we called about. I even had a bridal assistant who did absolutely everything for me without asking. We had about 100 guests and everyone’s food came out at the same time and everything was hot. It literally was a fairytale and dream come true. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect! I highly highly recommend macalusos for your wedding!!

Good afternoon my husband David and I knew we wanted to get married at macalusos the moment we saw it, we fell in love with how beautiful everything was. Our wedding was a week ago.the food was absolutely amazing the staff was beyond helpful and made our night so enjoyable, everyone had a wonderful time, thank you for making our night special 💕

Ever since my brother got married at Macaluso’s years ago, I knew that this was the venue I would want to host my own wedding. Now it was my chance. The food was exactly how I remembered it, delicious and plentiful. Even now, months later, people are still telling me about how amazing the food was! Since my last visit there, the venue underwent a massive renovation that is, quite honestly, awe inspiring. From the white-marbled floors, to the brand-new patio and ceremony area, to the lighting in the main ballroom and bridal suite, Macaluso’s provided everything we needed to make the wedding we planned into a reality. Maroon (Matar) treated us like family since the moment we walked through the door and pulled out all of the stops when it came to what he provided for us. Not only did the wedding go flawlessly, but when it came to moving the wedding from October 2020 to June 2021, Maroon selflessly provided new dates and times without any extra hassle. The event staff (from the managers to the captains to the attendants and servers) were amazingly polite, professional, and courteous throughout the entire day. The set-up was immaculate, the timing and presentation of all the courses were perfect, and the only thing left to my husband and I was to have an amazing time. Every detail imaginable was taken care of, and the staff made sure that we ate, drank, and fully enjoyed our wedding day without a thing to worry about. There is no other place to have your wedding (or event), trust me, you will not regret it.

Don't even bother looking further for a wedding venue, just call Macaluso's and book today!!! My husband and I had our wedding reception at Macaluso's in May of 2021. Macaluso's and Elias in particular were phenomenal! From the initial meeting and tour of the facility to the countless emails and phone calls to address concerns I had with planning, Elias and his team were always patient, kind, and professional. The service and support we received from Elias as an out-of-state couple ensured that we never felt out of the loop. Elias set our tasting for when we could drive up to NJ and was knowledgeable and helpful when we were finalizing our menu. We knew having our wedding reception at Macaluso's we would be guaranteed a perfect wedding! The food at Macaluso's is divine and at the wedding multiple guests kept asking my family if the cocktail hour was the meal! Daniel and I were treated like royalty in the bridal room and wanted for nothing thanks to the care and efficiency of the Macaluso's staff. The lighting package provided by Macaluso's created a great atmosphere for the party to really get underway! The number one compliment we received from the majority of our guests was that our wedding was "like a fairytale" and that "they had never been to a wedding like this before!" Ultimately, we know that the wedding of our dreams would not have been possible without the support and kindness of Macaluso's staff, in particular Elias who we became friends with by the end of our journey. Daniel and I just want to say thank you to the Macaluso's team for ensuring we had an evening we would never forget. Anyone looking to have an event be it a wedding, birthday party, or anniversary should look no further because no venue can compete with the class, care, and delicious food of Macaluso's!!

I did my wedding reception here 9 years ago and now I just had my son’s communion here as well. Also, I have been a guest on different occasions. The people here are amazing!!! Also, you will not find a place with better selection, quality and quantity of food then this place. To top it all off the place looks just stunning! Really number one place.

If you're looking for an amazing place in Northern NJ to have you wedding PLEASE check out Macaluso's. We just had our wedding there after two postponements due to COVID. We could not be more pleased. Elias was incredible to deal with, the food was incredible and the venue is stunning. Our guests are still talking about how it's been the best food they've had at a wedding venue.and we're talking about chefs. My husband has been in the food business all his life and having the best quality food was on top of the must have. I can go on and on about Macaluso's. I highly, highly recommend this venue. Go check them out!

It's taken my husband and I several months to write our review, because it was very difficult to put into words the amazing job Macaluso's did for our small, intimate. We booked our wedding reception with Macaluso's in February of 2020 for September 5, 2020. We first worked with Alex and he was incredible. Easy to talk to and very accommodating. As we all know our world got flipped upside down in March. No one or any industry was prepared for what had occurred and what, unfortunately, is still happening. As months went by, Matt and I were still hopeful we could have the wedding as planned, but we were also realistic. We understood that the most important thing was ensuring the safety of our families. Around May we met with Elias. We were so pleased with how understanding he was. He never made us feel pressured or our hands were tied. If one thing is certain, this vendor will work with you as best as they possibly can! We ended up doing a smaller, sit down dinner with just our closest family members. They transformed the outdoor space to a beautiful reception area. All of our guests had fun, and for one day, we felt a sense of normalcy. The team made sure everything was flawless, and the guests agreed as well. The rave reviews from our guests began when they arrived at Macaluso's, and didn't end until weeks after. Although it wasn't what we originally had planned, Elias and his team made such a difficult situation become one of the most magical and memorable nights of our lives. We also thank them for going above and beyond the safety/sanitation protocols of COVID-19, and we are hopeful that our bigger reception this year will be just as wonderful.

My husband and I could not have chosen a better place to have our wedding! Macalusos is simply the best! Besides it being beautiful inside, their customer service and accommodation the whole wedding planning process is amazing! We had to postpone from April to November because of COVID and the groom being in the military. The staff at Macalusos worked with us the entire time and always made sure the process was stress free and perfect!! For us, food was also one of the most important needs for our wedding. Macalusos has the BEST cocktail hour of anyone in the NJ area. They also served an amazing Steak as one of our meal choices that our guests are still talking about. The dessert was delicious as well. The inside decor is beatitude and they just re-did the entire outside patio. Most of all, the staff ensures that’s the bride and groom are treated like royalty. They made sure we ate and got to enjoy our wedding just like everyone else. It was simply the beat night. We highly recommend choosing Macalusos as a wedding venue! We will be using them for many more events in the future!

if you’re having your wedding in NJ, you need to have it at Macaluso’s. They went completely above and beyond what a normal venue would do for a bride and groom. Maroon was amazing, accommodating, comforting, I could go on forever. His team was also great and made us feel like we were family. My bridal attendant was an angel on earth. She took care of me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. Whenever we told anyone we were having our wedding at Macaluso’s the first thing they’d say is “the food is amazing!” And that it was. Their food is incomparable to any wedding I’ve been to. Their cocktail hour is to die for. Pictures don’t do the beauty of the hall justice. Overall just amazing, I couldn’t be happier with them and I’ll forever be grateful to them.

AMAZING! From the first time we walked in to check out the venue Macalusos was beyond impressive. The team of employees are so friendly and caring. They make you feel like family. Booking my wedding was so easy and smooth because they were so organized and and helpful with every single detail. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food is out of this world. Every guest was blown away with the quantity and quality of the food. Absolutely amazing. They took such great care of us on the night of our wedding. I truly felt like a princess because they made sure everything was perfect. There aren’t enough words to express the perfection of the staff, atmosphere, and food. We are truly blown away by how great Macalusos is! PERFECTION!

I found this venue on the knot and had my bridal shower there on May 18, 2019 and it was FANTASTIC. The food, staff, service were all superb and they were great with communication. They allowed us to bring some of our decor and set up early and store it there for set up a few days early. The owners were there the day of the event and are extremely kind and ensure our day flowed well. I HIGHLY recommend! We had a larger shower- over 120 people- but the main ballroom is ideal for any event- showers, weddings!

Elias and Maroon and their team made our wedding better than we could have imagined. Everything was absolutely perfect, they made our dream wedding come to life. I would not have done anything different and cannot thank them enough for creating my dream wedding. My husband and I highly recommend Macaluso's and will definitely book future milestone family events here. Thank you so much!

Nat and Maroon was extremely helpful through the whole process. Guests were raving about the food and the amount of it . You will not be disappointed.

Macalusos was a fantastic venue for our wedding. All of our guests said they've never been to a wedding like it. The food and the service were second to none. Everything went better than we could have ever planned and we are so grateful for such an excellent venue.

Fantastic wedding venue!! My husband and I were treated to the wedding of our dreams thanks to Macaluso's. Working with Nat to plan the night was a pleasure. He was extremely helpful in guiding our choices for the reception. Our guests raved about the food! They were impressed with the amount and quality of the food served at cocktail hour and the Venetian room. The staff on the night of our wedding was attentive and friendly. We could not have asked for a better night! I would highly recommend Macaluso's to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

My husband and I got married on May 2nd. We can't thank Maroun and his crew enough for the incredible food and impeccable service. We cannot wait to come back to Macalusos again. Thank you for making out reception so perfect!

Macaluso's went above and beyond what we expected. The kindness and generosity shown to us was wonderful and greatly appreciated. The respect extended to me as mother of the bride was exceptional. After a while Nat was calling me Mama. Our entire year of planning the reception was stress free thanks to the entire staff of Macaluso's. My daughter had the wedding I had always hoped to give her thanks to Nat. Also, after visiting several other venue's, Macaluso's put together a financial package that includes every single thing you could possibly need. We still have guests calling to rave about the food, the kindness and caring of the staff.

Two weeks later and everyone is still talking about the food!!! The only thing I regret is not eating more! Elias and Maroon are very helpful and patient. They helped us set up everything and when I dropped off all of my decorations and gave Elias creative freedom he wowed me with the results! The service is out of this world and no one can stop talking about how delicious the food was! To quote one of the guests "you know the filet is good when u can cut it with a butterknife"! The cocktail hour is absolutely crazy and the meal is delicious! We got the lobster flambé for an additional charge but boy was it worth it! The show and the taste was out of this world! The Venetian hour if u have room also is top of the line! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great food, service and ambiance not to mention you are the only bride! And I have to add that Nick, the chair cover guy they recommend, is amazing!!

5 STARS!!!!!!!! What can I say about macaluso’s, they were spectacular. The food especially the cocktail hour is phenomenal, it’s all my guests could talk about all night and weeks after my wedding. The prices are fantastic for what you’re getting, all my guests imagined my wedding to be a 100k wedding and it was FAR from that. Maroon and his staff are excellent and provide the greatest level of customer service. This place is exceptional and you would be dumb to not book here!!!!!!

My husband and I knew we loved Macaluso's from the moment we walked it. It has an old world Italy feel which is exactly what we were looking for. The food selections that Macaluso's provided left our families so full they had trouble eating dessert! Overall the staff was very helpful. Days leading up to the wedding, the staff was organized, thorough, and relaxed. The day of the wedding, the staff was on point, providing us and our guests with whatever we needed. It's a 1 wedding venue and I would highly recommend anyone that wants good food to consider Macaluso's!!

My husband and I have been to several events at Macaluso's, so we knew we were in for a great event when we chose it for our wedding. We had both the ceremony and reception there, and the transition was absolutely seamless. The food was delicious - some of our guests enjoyed cocktail hour so much that they took most of their dinner to go. The entire staff is incredibly helpful and truly pleasurable to work with. I would highly recommend Macaluso's to anyone!

Macaluso's is simply the BEST!!! The Mattar family are very welcoming warm people who thrive to please you. Maroon is the best!! From the very first day we walked into the venue he went out of his way to make sure we where pleased with everything, the staff is also very kind and professional. My bridal attendant was amazing. She went above and beyond to make me comfortable, she truly made me feel like a queen. Macaluso's made our wedding day something to definetley remember! the food was out of this world, everything that i ate and tasted was stupendous. My husband and I truly felt like royalty that night. Thank you Macaluso's!!! With all our love, Victor & Mary Ann Chanduvi

I've been married for 3 months and since then, the compliments about my wedding continue to pour in. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Macaluso's treated me and my guests. My husband and I looked at several venues before deciding to go with Macaluso's. From the beginning, Joseph and Maroon were welcoming, pleasant, and extremely helpful all throughout the planning process. I was a nervous reck the day of the wedding but once at Macaluso's, Joseph and the rest of the staff helped reduce my nervousness by taking care of everything and everyone. I did nothing and worried about nothing!! I simply enjoyed my wedding to the fullest. My guest cannot stop raving about how wonderful everything was. They were very pleased with the service and ohh my.. were they happy with the food. The cocktail and Venetian hour were beautifully displayed (I was recently told by one of my guest that it was the best he has ever seen), and the quality of the dinner was fantastic!! My wedding day was everything and more than I ever imagine. It was truly a magical night that I will NEVER forget!!! For that, I have to thank Macaluso's for all the wonderful and hard work that went into making my day the most special day of our lives.

Where do I even begin?! My family and I have been coming to Macaluso's for years. The food is simply outstanding! My husband and I were so happy we chose Macaluso's for our wedding reception. Maroun, our maitre'd, was so helpful from beginning to end. We can't thank him enough! Everything was so perfect. There was not one thing that we weren't happy with. My bridal attendants were so kind and helpful the day of our wedding as well! They made sure we ate and made sure everything was great. Our main attendant was Nawel - what a sweetheart! I'm almost speechless because this place is really that amazing!!! I would recommend Macaluso's to anyone in a heart beat! Thanks Maroun and staff for making our day so special. You guys are the best!!! You will surely be seeing us again soon :-) Anna Maria & Todd

Macaluso's completely exceeded my expectations! Maroon went above and beyond what we had ever thought possible. The bridal attendant and head waitress were so friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, even when I may have not needed it. And I can't forget about the food, which was amazing. I am still getting compliments three weeks later about how the cocktail and Venetian hour blew everyone away! Our experience there was so exceptional that we intend to use their services for events we may have in the future! Best day ever!

Wow! Every aspect of Macaluso's is top notch. Some quotes from our guests the next day: "The staff was unbelievable. I've never seen anyone SO happy to take a dirty plate from me. It was like I was giving them 10 dollars or something." "That was by far the nicest affair I have ever attended." -90 year old relative My bridal attendant, Layla, was phenomenal... meeting our limo upon arrival with cold water on a very hot day, bustling my very complicated dress, and making sure my ever need was immediately attended to throughout the entire night. And the FOOD. Nothing like you've ever seen before. We got the 'Royal Wedding' package...and we're still full days later. As our DJ commented prior to the wedding, 'You walk into Macaluso's and you waddle out'. Everything ran very smoothly that day because of their professional and attentive staff.

Absolutely incredible!!!

Macaluso's was amazing!!! The food was amazing, the decor was amazing, the service was amazing. Guests at my wedding raved about the place. They were truly a pleasure to work with leading up to the day and on the day as well. I highly recommend them!

There is not enough that I can say about Macaluso's! Alex and the others at Macaluso's made our May 19th, 2012 wedding spectacular because they treated us like we were the only couple to ever get married there. We were taken care of from the day we first met until the week after the wedding when we received a thank you letter from them! Alex accommodated our MANY requests, always assuring it was "no problem". There was not one single food missing from that evening and every guest left more than satisfied. When my dress ripped during the reception, my bridal attendant, Layla, was immediately attentive by getting pins and fastening it to repair. Franco made sure were fed and always had a drink. He also packed up food for us at the end of the night and made sure all of our belongings were gathered to return with us. If you're looking for a reception venue that's experienced and extremely considerate, Macaluso's is the place for your next special occasion. Without a doubt, I'd recommend them to anyone and plan to work with them for future events.

I have to say that they made me feel like a princess on my wedding day and during the whole planning process. The staff is warm and welcoming. You will be the only party there so all attention is placed on your wedding. I have been to may venues in the Bergen County/ Passaic County areas and I have to say their food is unsurpassed. The venue is elegant and they have a bridal staircase for your entrance. We never wanted for anything on our day. It is very affordable. We had an amazing day, and it is all thanks to the hardworking and generous staff. We can not thank them enough.

From the first momemt I stepped Macaluso's I knew that is where I wanted to have our reception. We were truly treated like royalty before during and after our wedding. The food, staff and venue is outrageous. Our guests are still talking about our cocktail hour and venetian table.

From start to finish they could not have been more helpful. I had to leave all my stuff to be set up by them and they far exceeded my expectations. Family and Friends still raving about the food how good and what a fabulous selection. Price was excellent for what you got! Wait staff phenomenal all day!

I am so glad that I had my wedding at Macaluso's. I worked with Maroun who was so pleasant and accommodating. Everything was taken care of the day of the wedding and I didn't have to worry about anything. Macaluso's is beautiful on the inside and outside. I felt very comfortable with the staff. Even though I was running around the day of my wedding and didn't get to eat all of the food that was there, what I did have was excellent. Now I just need for someone I know to get married there, so I can sit down and enjoy the cocktail hour as a guest.

Fanatastic service and wonderful food.

Having our reception at Macaluso's was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We are still receiving compliments that our wedding was the best our guests had ever attended. The food was unbelievably tasty and plentiful, and the venue is beautiful. My husband and I were treated so wonderfully and thanks to the fantastic service, we didn't have to worry about anything. We were able to enjoy every minute. Everything was just perfect.
