est wedding ever" !!! Joe Orzo was the best matire'd I could have asked for, its as if he was apart of my family and a guest at my wedding. He made sure everything went the way it should have . From the very first meeting we connected , and he has been such a pleasure to work with, helping to create our dream wedding which ended up being soooooo much more then we could have imagined !! My bridal attendant Tanya was amazing throughout the day and night making sure me and Mark had everything and anything we needed, and even working with Tori was a pleasure !!! The entire staff here just knows weddings , and they know them well! Not once did I have to worry the entire time at Marina about a think everything ran so smoothly. The natural beauty of the venue not only outside but inside are beyond gorgeous. The food itself and the amount of food is unbeatable starting from the cocktail hour which was unreal !!!! This was the first venue we looked at and nothing after even came close the the Marina Del Rey !!! I would HIGHLY recommend the Marina Del Rey , this was the most perfect day and a wonderful way for Mark and I to start our journey ! THANK YOU to Joe Orzo and the entire staff !!!!!!

ext event at the Marina Del Rey as you will not regret it and will have a night to remember for years to come!

tail from the staff that truly made our day exceptional. They were there at every turn, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which allowed us and our guests to simply soak in the joy of the evening. And then there was the food - a highlight that our friends and family haven't stopped talking about! Every dish served was a delightful surprise, from the elegant presentation to the delicious flavors. It's not just the place or the decor that makes Marina Del Rey special; it's the people and the care they put into making every moment count. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our union.

hat you have the best day possible. Throughout the entire process Joe helped us figure it out. Being from the neighborhood we knew we wanted to get married locally, but it was better than I could have ever imagined. There is no other place like the Marina!

ount of people and he calmed me down and made sure everything went smoothly. He is professional, kind, helpful and the man you need to see if you have a large scale event. He is a life savor!

attentive and there everytime I turned around fixing my dress and making sure no one stepped on it. Joe Orzo was by our side to make sure everything ran smoothly and gave me a peace of mind so I could enjoy my night. Trish was fantastic as well. The Venetian hour was to die for! Will definitely be the most talked about wedding for all of eternity. And don’t forget the views. Great photo op for both bride and groom and guests. Tori and Joe Sevino also took part in our pre wedding planning and are a great asset to the team. Thank you to the staff at Marina!

e your wedding magical. The owner, Carl Randazzo, and our maitre’d, Joe Orzo, are kind, cheerful, and confident professionals. Carl even took the time to help us choose the beer for our welcome party and surprised our guests with delicious pastries as they arrived for the baraat procession. Joe guided our flower girls down the aisle and made sure we always had a drink in our hands. From the moment we booked MDR, we never had to worry. They extended endless warmth towards us and treated us like family. Our wedding day went seamlessly, and we couldn’t be happier. All the pastas were absolutely incredible, as was the Viennese dessert spread! Thank you so much to Carl, Joe, and everyone at Marina del Rey for the memories of a lifetime.

to my gown. I was rushed off the dock where we were told we would have an hour to take our wedding photos during the cocktail hour. When we came back to finish our wedding photos, half way through taking them the other bride came and we had to share the dock and compete for the space. They just interupted our photoshoot. It was super rude and the staff did nothing about it. They told us we would have fire pits and the other wedding got them. The Wedding coordinator Joe S was rude to my photographer and my band. I gave him a typed up paper breaking down the entire wedding and reception for him to coordinate with his people and he never did. My photographer had to literally do this mans job to keep our wedding running smoothly. He fussed at me, the bride when I asked him why he told my wedding band to stop playing for over an hour. He had a super bad attitude. My bridal attendant Tanya was a Queen and so great and so was the captain! Joe was less than desirable in character. He told us yes to what we wanted to get us to sign with them but then did not deliver on the most basic accommodations when it came to me having to compete with another bride for space and time during our weddings. It was not professional.

they recreated a magical tent and the ceremony kept going. The food was DELISH, the drinks were great not watered down like other venues. All of my guests can't stop talking about our wedding!! There was never a time when we didn't feel special during this process leading to the big day and we are grateful. We thank Carl, Tori, Joe, Savanah and the rest of the staff that made our dream wedding come true!

n more stressful with the constant mandates and changes to capacities and regulations. We had a perfect October day with amazing service and food. Our Guests could not stop raving about our event, from the cocktail hour options to the venetian hour presented on the outside patio everything was perfect. If you are planning a wedding with amazing service, great food and an amazing view than this is your location. Everyone from the owner to a busser is ready to assist and make sure you and your guests have a memorable day.

was nothing short of AMAZING. Joe Orzo was a pleasure to work with, we felt comfortable with him the moment we met. He facilitated the entire night and made sure it ran smoothly. Our bridal attendant Tanya was there to lend a quick helping hand whenever I needed. I would recommend Marina 1000x over. Thank you for such wonderful memories!

time we met with Tori and Joe Orzo until the wedding day we were not disappointed. They were so helpful and accommodating with everything we wanted. Tori went over the whole night step by step to make sure nothing was left out. She was such a pleasure to work with. Joe was outstanding. He was our Matire'd at our wedding at MDR 28 years ago. His level of professionalism and the way he executed everything perfectly has not changed since then . We connected from our first visit and had the best laughs and conversations each time we met with him. Throughout the whole night we were treated as if we were family and our guests were also treated with the same superb hospitality. Denise, our bridal attendant, made sure my daughter along with us had everything we needed throughout the night. Her focus on making sure we were all happy was just amazing. Marina Del Rey inside and out is just stunning. The view is beautiful and the food is not only delicious but phenomenal. The presentation of the Cocktail hour and Venetian hour was extraordinary. The entire staff knows how to perfect a wedding. We didn't have to worry about a thing all night and Joe made sure we were enjoying it instead. Its been a few days now and we're still hearing how this was "the best wedding they've ever been to" from our guests. Thank you to Tori, Denise, and the rest of the staff. We also can't forget Carl. It was so great to meet you and we appreciate all your help and enjoyed talking to you. But we would especially like to thank Joe Orzo. You are the best at what you do and we can't thank you enough for going above & beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our daughter had the wedding of her dreams! It was truly a spectacular night.

d for our day. Every time I called or went there leading up to the wedding everyone was so nice and friendly, everyone really makes you feel like you’re working with people you’ve known forever. Day of my wedding exceeded all expectations thanks to Joe Savino and Joe Orzo. The attention to detail is like no other, making sure that not only my husband and I had everything we needed and were happy but also making sure that each guest was happy. The level of service and professionalism is like none other that I’ve seen at the many weddings I’ve been to and I had so many guests say to me that night and after the wedding how amazing it was & how on top of everything they were. My bridal attendant was also amazing, making sure that everything was taken care of for me from start to finish so I didn’t have to worry about anything. I didn’t stress about a single thing on my wedding day, everything was planned down to the last detail & flowed so seamlessly. Moving on to the food. Where to start? There was so much food and it was ALL amazing. The cocktail hour was amazing and had so much to offer our guests. For the reception we did a pasta trio, everyone raved about the risotto! For the entree there were multiple choices, all of which were fantastic. To make sure my guests had the full experience my husband and I had a Viennese hour for dessert which was outdoors, right outside of our reception room. There were so many dessert options - cakes, cookies, a crepe station, ect. They really go all out when it comes to their food and it shows. Lastly, the venue itself. The venue overlooks the water which provided such a beautiful backdrop for photos. The ceremony was outside, right over the water & everything was set up perfectly to move right into an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. My bridal suite was right next to the reception room, making it easy to sneak away when I needed. Our reception was in the Venetian room which was set up exactly how I envisioned. Every last detail was seen to. I would absolutely recommend the Marina Del Rey to anyone looking to book a venue for their special day. I can’t say enough just how impressed I was with my experience with them!

ch made it so much easier and less stressful for us Both banquet managers, Joe Orzo and Joe Savino, made the night go very smoothly and kept us on schedule. My dress had some dirt on the bottom from taking pictures and one of the bridal attendants spent the time trying to scrub it out for me. Cocktail hour had so many different kinds of food and all the food/dinner was absolutely phenomenal. Our guests were raving about it. The sunset on the water was so gorgeous. It was picture perfect. The only thing that bothered us was that we booked this venue for the water view, but they put a huge tent up outside in front of all the open windows in the room that couldn't be taken down. We would highly recommend that you have your wedding at this venue. You wont be disappointed.

o help bring my wedding dreams to life. The Marina del Rey is stunning, but the food is phenomenal and the presentation of the cocktail hour and Viennese hour is extraordinary(-now, 3 weeks later, my wedding guests are STILL talking about about impressive it was). Everyone said my wedding at the Marina Del Rey set the bar very high and no one will ever reach that level of perfection. My bridal attendant Denise, was the most amazing sidekick to have on my wedding day. She was there for anything I could ask for and I could not imagine how I would have got through the reception without her! My parents had their wedding with Joe Savino at the Marina Del Rey 39 years ago and it was outstanding then and lived up to it's spectacular reputation today! I wish I could relive this day at this amazing venue-but it left me with memories for a lifetime!

up how good the food was or compare while we're at another wedding. The staff was more than professional especially after 'being out of the game' for so long. The entire staff was friendly, made us feel safe and didn't miss a beat throughout the entire night.

l health. At no point did I feel like we were just a number to them. We trusted his DJ recommendation (that’s entertainment)and his experience regarding food selections. They did not disappoint!!! My family cannot stop talking about what a wonderful and FUN experience the whole day was for everyone. Thank you Joe, Trish, Denise, and Tommy for making our wedding so worth the wait! I cannot say enough good things about this venue and it’s staff!

owed us the venue we knew we were in good hands, even with having to postpone our wedding from October 2020 Tori handled it with ease and didn't have a single issue which we were worried about with other horror stories we didn't have a single one thankfully. She answered every email, phone call or concern with comfort and ease especially during this time she was extremely empathic and it really comforted us. You do not need a day of coordinator with the Marina Del Rey it will be a waste of Money. Joe Orzo our maitre D was absolutely amazing with 40+ years of experience it really showed he handled the whole night with us ease. He really paid attention to any details and really made sure everything ran smoothly. Also, he took care of our families and checked in with them to assure that not only were we okay but they were as well. Tanya was my bridal attendant and wow did I not realize how much she would really be helping me from holding my dress, grabbing us drinks, sowing my dress (yes sowing). She really was attentive to myself and most importantly my mother as well who was extremely grateful for that. Tanya was extremely caring and we were so happy to have her apart of our night One of the most important things about having a wedding is the food and I will tell you no other venue will compete with how amazing the food is here , the cocktail hour and the food in general blew away our guests and they are still raving how this was the Best Wedding Venue they have ever been to and Best Wedding without the Marina Del Rey and their staff we would not have been able to have the most perfect day I was a little upset about it raining but it didn't matter because of how beautiful the inside is + they added a beautiful outside tent with beautiful chandeliers during the pandemic so we were able to still have it outside with our dream view! we can't thank you enough! We look forward to future events here :) Thank You, Lynn and Joseph Zaccaro 7/2/2021

lives. Our Wedding on May 7th, 2021 was truly the best day of our lives because of the Marina Del Rey wedding venue in The Bronx, NY. From the most delicious food we've ever had, to the nicest bridal attendant Denise, the most jaw dropping scenery for photos and overall set up of our room I could honestly say our dreams came true. Everything was so perfect we could not have asked for a more special day or place to celebrate our love for each other. Thank you for making our dreams come true! -Mr. and Mrs. Dubner

(he treated us like his family!), has an endless amount of knowledge (30+ years in the business) and he truly went above and beyond for our every single want and need (AND rescheduled our wedding due to COVID without hesitation)!!! He made our wedding vision come to life, and we couldn’t be happier! Our Maitre’d, Denise was heaven sent and her attention to detail was nothing less than exceptional! Joe O , Joe S and Tori made us laugh more times than I can count and if that doesn’t say something about the staff I don’t know what does! We left feeling as though we gained family for life. All of our guests raved about the delicious food and gorgeous views. Put your trust in this venue- you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait for our future events at the Marina del Rey! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!! Xoxo, Ashley & Franco DiMarino

t was truly the best pick for us. We’re so happy of the outcome. From the service to the food! It was the best sad it’s over went to do it all over again! Truly A perfect Day.

g on time and how to keep the wedding vibe high energy. He had a good relationship with my vendors who he had worked with before which also helped everything run more smoothly. My bridal attendant Amanda was great as well. She bustled my dress with ease when my bridemaids and maid of honor were busy eating the delicious food and enjoying the party and she was always making sure I had water/wine whichever I needed! The venue itself looked beautiful in person and in pictures! And to this day everyone is still talking about the delicious food! We could not be happier! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

as the smaller one but still rich and opulent in elegance it was absolutely stunning - blessed to have an amazing team that helped to answer my questions during the planning process and helped guide me during the day of. Denasia Gilley, Joe Orzo and Tanya. I love you guys, you were all amazing and total pros. Had an emergency because I forgot my vow booklet at the hotel and I had to think fast on an alternative option (good thing I had emailed myself the vows). They were very patient even though I was getting pulled all different directions I never felt overwhelmed because they were there to help assist. Thank you for helping me make my dream wedding a reality!

en know the way that Joe took care of everything. Not to mention- we quoted a few comparable venues in the area and not only was Marina del Rey the most beautiful, it was competitively priced! I am still getting feedback from family and friends that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to!
