The fireworks at the end of the night were amazing & the perfect end to our perfect day! Lynn was a pleasure to work with & she made sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend Rizzo's for your wedding venue!
We reserved Rizzo's for my Daughter's & Son-in-Law's Wedding Reception. We cannot express how amazing the experience was. Rizzi, Lynn and his staff went above and beyond to make the day a success. The Hall was beautiful, the food was amazing (friends & family are still... Read More raving), the service was impeccable. Our Guests were greeted by Servers as they entered with beverages, the hors d'oeuvres were unsurpassed by any other. The Servers were professional & attentive. No detail was left unattended. We were able to enjoy the day without a worry. I also understand they are doing cakes and cookies now as well. I wish I had known that previously. I highly recommend Rizzo's for any event.
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments! We are honored for the opportunity to work with you on this most special event. Thank you again for choosing Rizzo's!
Every one of my guests has told me this was the best wedding they have ever been to! It could not have been any better, the ceremony space is beautiful and needed minimal décor. The staff goes above and beyond from the bartenders to the serving staff and the management. Perfect... Read More flow from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. The cocktail space was beautiful with tall and low tables to sit at and a wonderful display of appetizers. Family style meals were a hit and no one left hungry. The serving of the food was flawless with perfect timing of all courses. Table clearing was done smoothly. The whole facility is perfect for entertaining, two outside areas with seating and beautifully landscaped all around. A personal fireworks display ended our perfect night with the serving of individual gelato and drinks. There is not one thing that needed changed. Rizzo’s is the only place to have a wedding!
OMG. Rizzo's went above and beyond. Every detail was covered and the options for an original celebration made this the best wedding I ever attended! A personal fireworks display!

They helped plan and execute my wedding day to be absolutely flawless. The food was amazing. The service was excellent. The set up was great. Our wedding day happened to fall on a day the Penguins had a playoff game (and we all know how important that is). And instead of doing... Read More whatever they wanted Rizzi asked if I allowed the game to be on. We received so many compliments we are so glad we chose Rizzo's.
Rizzo's provided our guests with incredible tasting food and incredible amounts of food. There was not one person who left our wedding hungry, and not one person who didn't comment on how good everything was. If you decide to go with Rizzo's, we highly suggest the Chicken Romano... Read More and Lasagna. In addition to incredible food, the service staff was on top of things and the kitchen manager made it a point to introduce himself to everyone when we were decorating the room. I truly felt he would have done anything to ensure our satisfaction. The banquet facility was clean, tastefully decorated for the holidays, and provided our guests plenty of room to dance and mingle. My only complaint is regarding the communication with the planner-- I feel I waited longer than necessary to find out when I could get into the room the decorate, and was disappointed events were booked overtop of each other and I was not given ample time to decorate.
