nzo’s was an incredible place to host our wedding! We had about 80 guests, and the Gala Room was the perfect fit. It felt cozy, elegant, and full of charm. Our guests couldn’t stop...
talking about how delicious the food was, especially the vodka pasta, which became a clear favorite.
The staff was amazing. Diana in particular went above and beyond to answer all of my and my mom’s questions and even helped us with some of our DIY decorations. The pastries on the sweets table were some of the best we’ve ever had.
Everything ran so smoothly on the night of the wedding thanks to their team’s help with setup and coordination. Even our photographers mentioned how great Manzo’s is for photos because the lighting in the banquet room is beautiful.
We are so happy we chose Manzo’s for our special day and can’t wait to see our professional photos and videos. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable wedding experience.

Manzo’s surprised us with how amazing everything was. We booked because word of mouth told me the venue had delicious food that people remembered even years after. When we toured t...
he venue, we met Diana who ended up being our day of coordinator. She is such a delightful person who made sure our day went off without a hitch. She kept in communication with us consistently with quick responses via text and email for any of our questions we had. All of our vendors we chose had no issues the day of and guests would not stop raving about how fantastic the food was after. We chose the family style serving so people could get as much food as they wanted with refills aplenty. The hor dourves we got were amazing! Even the lemon sorbet dessert had people impressed. Definitely do the london broil and grilled lemon chicken for entrees. The kids meal chicken tenders were pretty sad looking but they could also have the family style food so it worked out. The bartender remembered peoples’ drinks and was such a boss at slinging drinks all night. The servers were so efficient and always made sure people were taken care of. At the end of the night we got trays of leftovers that we were able to pack up ourselves since we brought our own to-go containers.
The one thing I would say though is to call a couple days before your wedding to see when you can set up because we found out that Thursday before our Saturday wedding that we could only set up for our 5:30pm start at 3:30pm. Two. Hours. Luckily we were able to get lots of friends and family to help get it all done but it definitely stressed everyone out more than we expected. Despite that, the experience was wonderful and Diana was very apologetic for the limited time we had so she made everything work out. Thank you Diana! (And congrats on your wedding as well <3)

On our wedding day, Diana wasn’t able to be there but she fully communicated who would be there to support us. Everything was a breeze, the staff was wonderful & she also did a follow up call a few days later to check in and see how everything went. Thank you for everything!

If you’re looking to have any party, BOOK HERE! I will forever use Manzo’s not only for my events but for catering!!! I love them and the office staff are incredible. THANK YOU!!!!

She was so kind, attentive, and thoughtful it felt like I was working with family. Everyone who attended our party raved about the food and how beautiful everything looked. Manzo’s helped make this process very smooth for me and I am incredibly thankful for everything they did throughout my party planning process. The night turned out better than I could have imagined even with the unavoidable hiccups along the way and I know a huge reason for that is the amazing staff at Manzo’s!

I went to plenty of venues on the search for where to host my weddings but I am so glad I chose Manzos. My parents actually got married here 26 years ago and the service, staff, pr...
ofessionalism, and experience you get here verses other places is unmatched. Everything here was amazing- the food was incredible; which is pretty important when you have like a million people come to your wedding you want the food to be good and their food was absolutely delicious! The decor was exactly what I wanted, something elegant and simple and the sweets table was absolutely unreal. If anyone is having an event- a baby shower, wedding, anything at all i recommend Manzos. They’re like a hidden gem, the location is perfect for people coming from the city and suburbs, the venues are beautiful, the food is amazing, and can we talk about the staff for a minute? Vanessa was absolutely amazing with handling my event and me- I am the most forgetful bride ever (I forgot dress fittings and venue appointments and forgot to get a hairstylist till the week before the wedding!) but with all my faults she was attentive to my event, kept copies of what we decided on and was always available to take a call or for me to make a quick visit. I feel like if I didn’t have Vanessa’s help for my wedding it would not have gone as smoothly as it did. The wait staff were amazing as well, I didn’t know where I was going to do photos with guests and then last minute decided to do them infront of the sweethearts table with the sweetheart chairs and Hector was my last minute hero moving the chairs down for me and not to mention the fact that he made sure our table wasn’t cleared till we were ready because my husband and I decided to do our mother/son and daddy/daughter dances during dinner. Imagine starting to eat, getting on the dance floor, and then finding you’re food gone- not when Hector is around! He took care of us! The staff here are some of the kindest people in the entertainment/events industry and you won’t go wrong by having an event here. The staff, the affordability, the food, are just some of the few things that have kept Manzos a gem for events for so long. 10/10 would recommend.

ut this venue has everything, it’s beautiful, elegant, clean with big parking lot and their food it’s really good and their portions are big. My guests were commenting on how good the food was, they offer you a food tasting before the event and for the specialty items you can request to taste them as well. They offer you various packages to select, family style, individual plate style and buffet as well. They offer appetizers, hot entres after dinner, cocktail hour, coffee, tea, sweet table, some packages includes the cake. They are very flexible with special requests. The service on my wedding day was incredible, everyone there was very friendly and easy to work with. They were very attentive to provide everything for our guests. I am very happy we chose Manzo’s for our special day. I highly, highly recommend this venue.

The way they plan the event in such a timely manner never makes you feel overwhelmed. She was always available on solving any issues or questions we had. On the day of the event everyone was very supportive and attentive to our needs. They have exceptional servers always happy to assist you, mainly our server Jackeline who was always willing to make our night more special.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and congratulations on your daughter’s wedding! We’re...
so glad to hear your experience with us in 2023 was amazing, and we truly appreciate your trust in recommending our venue.
We’re deeply sorry that your daughter’s experience did not meet your expectations. As we discussed on the phone, we’ve addressed the situation with the hostess and server involved and have taken steps to ensure this does not happen again. This is not the level of service we strive for, and we’re actively working with our team to make immediate improvements.
We also apologize for any miscommunication regarding payment methods. For final payments, we only accept cashier’s checks, Zelle, or cash.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve, and congratulations again to your daughter!

ing sure we were not stressed on the day. Everyone has been telling us how good the dinner was and the dessert! We got the highest package (open bar woo!) and it did not disappoint! Manzo's doesn't have additional costs like other places. They're so open about their prices and I was very glad for that.
Trust Manzo's. I planned my wedding in three months and they helped me with everything I could imagine. Ask them about other vendors they partner with. They have a list of DJs, florists, hotels, etc. that they recommend. It's a great place to start if you're overwhelmed by the number of vendors in the area. I booked a hotel they were partnered with and they had a free shuttle for hotel guests that booked in our block!
Would book again!

I just had my wedding at Manzo’s on 12/16/22. It was really the best day ever. From the moment, we visited the venue…it just felt right. Peter, the owner, sat down with my husband ...
and I and went over their packages. Every package was affordable and they work around your budget. Peter was patient and accommodating. Great customer service! Colleen was also so sweet. Every time we went for an appointment, she was so helpful and provided tips/advice when I couldn’t make a decision. The day of the wedding, people talked about how good the food was. They loved the vesuvio chicken, the potatoes, and the pasta. What I loved was that any left over food/cake, they packed it up in to go containers for our guests. Everything was great and I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for an affordable venue with great customer service.

I cannot begin to explain how amazing Manzo’s has been to us. We just had our wedding on 10/08/21 in the crystal ballroom and it exceeded my expectations. Manzo’s worked with us wh...
en we had to postpone due to the pandemic. We maintained communication for over a year and they helped me stay organized. All of my guests loved the food, especially the rigatoni with al la vodka sauce. They are super accommodating and deserve all the praise. They even provided food for my guests with specific allergies and dietary restrictions at no additional cost. A lot of things are included that we noticed other venues charged extra for, like the LED lighting and colored napkins. They made sure everyone was taken care of but especially my husband, the bridal party, and even our parents. My dad mentioned he felt special for the service provided because they recognized he was the father of the bride. The manager even brought my husband and I a drink when we were taking photos away from everyone. I felt like a princess. Our wedding ended at midnight and no one wanted to leave. I think we finally got everyone out at 12:30 am. Plus, I left my purse and realized it when we were at the hotel so we went back and they were still there and had it safe in their office for me. Overall, just amazing first class people. They provided the definition of excellent customer service. I will definitely be booking here again for future events.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Manzo's on April 12, 2019 and it was pure perfection. From the first point of contact, the response time was quick but informative and ...
regardless of who we spoke to their attention to customer service was excellent. I can't even really explain how patient Krystyna was with us. We had a short engagement and married 6 months after getting engaged and Krystyna helped me, made recommendations, and extended so much grace when I forgot to give her the information that she needed or was delayed in getting it to her. The venue itself is gorgeous and they did not miss any details. When we visited we loved it and felt confirmation that we had found our place! Doing the tasting I almost cried over how delicious everything was. My husband and I LOVE food and as such it was imperative that our wedding meal be cry worthy and memorable for all our guest.
I shared my timeline and vision with Krystyna and she helped us to execute it to perfection for our ceremony. She, and everyone at Manzo's went above and beyond to take care of me and every person attending. Their hospitality is unmatched and we still have family and friends talking about the great service they received a month later. For example, during the cocktail hour the wedding party and immediate family had to take pictures and Manzo's had servers bring out appetizers to where we were so that we would not miss out. I was so grateful as the selections we made were sooooooo delicious and I can't thank them enough for making sure that we were able to partake. During dinner, adjustments were made for some our guests that needed a different entree (whoops I overlooked that getting married on a Friday right before Easter meant that our Catholic loved ones couldn't eat meat). Manzo's accommodated immediately and flawlessly and that night I was blissfully unaware of any issues. I was able to enjoy our day to the fullest because of their unreal hospitality. They truly are the best ever and would recommend them to anyone, any day, for ever and ever!

Our guests are still talking about the potatoes!! The roasted potatoes were a big hit. I can't say enough about this place, it made our special day truly complete. Thank you, to all the Manzo's staff.

Manzo’s was the perfect venue for us. From the minute we walked into the door Manzo’s won us over with their great wedding package, beautiful facilities and incredible service. Kry...
styna and team assisted us throughout the planning process and was so accommodating for all of our "special" additions to make our day personal for us. We felt so cared for and we were able to really enjoy our day because of the team at Manzo’s took care of every detail for us. Their staff was excellent, attentive and so kind throughout the entire night. The food was absolutely fantastic, our guests are still raving about everything today. They without a doubt made our day special day with memories that will last us a lifetime.

We had a really great experience here. We needed a lot of space for our 300 guests so we wanted a traditional banquet hall at a reasonable price. Manzo's was very affordable and it...

My wife and I got married here on October 1st 2016. I can't say enough about the staff. They are so helpful, sharp, and so great to work with. So many people told me they loved the...
food too. We got married in the Crystal room and they decorated it very beautifully. The service was great, they worked with our DJ, photographer and, videographer great. We definitely had many things we wanted customized and they were very easy to work with all the way through. Honesty couldn't be happier with them.

After visiting numerous venues, my husband and I selected Manzos for our wedding reception. We cannot say enough great things about it! The management is spectacular. So profession...
al and patient and always available to answer questions or provide some great tips. The tasting was out of this world. The food is unbelievable -- 4 months later and my guests are still raving about it. The venue staff were friendly and efficient. I had no cares or concerns on my wedding day, which is exactly as it should be, and that is due in very large part to the excellent management and expertise of this banquet facility.

We had our wedding at Manzo’s Banquet Hall in July 2016. The venue is exactly what I was looking for. The food was excellent, and there was so much of it. The guests were surprised...
that the food just kept coming out. The room was gorgeous; I especially loved the chandeliers. The venue was a huge part of our successful wedding. I would recommend Manzo’s Banquet Hall to anyone looking for a place for their wedding.

Manzo's is absolutely fantastic and we are so beyond happy with how our wedding turned out. The banquet hall itself is newly remodeled and gorgeous. We were in the Crown Room and...
the new dance floor is stunning - the original floor was a bit dated, but now it is a glossy, lustrous white that makes the room seem much more spacious and beautifully reflects all of the lighting. We hosted 112 people including the vendors, and that amount of people plus a fairly large DJ setup and photo booth filled the room up perfectly. The staff is super knowledgable and very easy to work with - I emailed them about a zillion times (just ask Briana and Krystyna haha) and they were always quick to respond and provided us with all of the information we needed. They have a variety of packages to choose from and they offer many add-ons such as chiavari chairs, table valences, colored napkins, and many other things to personalize your dream wedding. They were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process and made the big day run incredibly smoothly. The guests could not stop talking about the delicious food (we loved it at our tasting prior to the event, but unfortunately didn’t have much time to enjoy it during dinner haha) and the exceptionally obliging staff. We have been told by many of our guests that our wedding was the best they had been to in a very long time, and we have Manzo's to thank for it! We would recommend this facility to everyone and are looking for reasons to throw another party just so we can go back!

We absolutely loved everything Manzo's had to offer, and we had the time of our lives here. My wife and I checked out numerous venues, and struck out with several as they just did...
n't have everything we wanted. Being the typical groom, my two main concerns were the price and the food. We eventually checked out Manzo's, where we met Peter and his staff who were very courteous and were able to help us plan out something affordable yet classy. We then came out to one of their tasting events and that's where we fell in love. The food they served was immaculate! Our guests even agreed when they asked for boxes to take their meals home (when's the last wedding you've been to where the food was so good, you wanted to take it home?!?). Overall, an excellent venue for all budgets.

I am the maid of honor for my sisters wedding which is coming up shortly. We decided to have her bridal shower at Manzo's Banquets. This place is absolutely gorgeous! The blue c...
eilings in the hallway are stunning and the room we were in was amazing. When we walked into the room it was exactly how I pictured it to be. I was the one setting up all the details for my sister and they did exactly how I ask. The managers were so nice to work with and very accommodating to all of my crazy request. Especially on the day of the event I must of bother then 100 times, but they never seemed to mind. The food we had was so delicious. We went with individual plated luncheon and I did not expect there to be so much food, I was not even able to finish my entire plate. My family could not stop complimenting me on how beautiful the room was and how good the food was. I could not have done this without the help of Manzo's! This is definitely a banquet hall worth checking out, even for weddings!!
