Testa's...wow, great experience. My daughter's wedding was last weekend. Everything was perfect, down to the last detail. Sarita was exceptional and ensured every detail was as planned. She is knowledgeable and professional, truly a great resource. Staff were attentive and respectful. The bartender was great...many guests expressed how impressed they were with him!! Owner involved and actually engaged at event ensuring our guests were well taken care of. Vendors associated with Testa's know the venue and the flow of the day; trust in them to create a flawless day. So glad my daughter chose Testa's.

Testa's was an absolute dream to work with and plan our wedding. From the beginning, Sarita was extremely communicative and understanding of our budget and cultural requests. During our search for wedding venues, we found it difficult to find a venue that would allow outside catering that for religious dietary requirements without paying an insane fee, but Testa's has an affordable cultural package that allows just that. They also have an a la carte system that allows you to customize as much or as little of your wedding package as you'd like. We had the flexibility to bring in our own caterer, DJ, photographer, decorator, and espresso cart and also use resources and decorations provided by Testa's. The staff was extremely professional and efficient on our wedding day. We would recommend Testa's for all your wedding/event needs and especially recommend working with Sarita for her warmth, care, and attention to all details.

sing our menu to selecting our flower arrangements. They made it easy with their package of DJ, cake and flowers and saved us a ton of time and effort. Everything about the decor was beautiful. The vendors they work along side with are incredible, and my guests were delighted. The absolute best was the food!!! Three months after my wedding, my guests still talk about how it was the best food of any wedding they've ever been to. Everything on the menu was amazing! My husband and I have nothing but great memories of this amazing day. Thank you to Enzo and Sarita for the incredible service! I recommend this place 1,000 percent.

A venue I don’t see mentioned much, but we had the absolute best wedding this Saturday is Testa's Banquet Facility! Literally the perfect venue at a fraction of the cost of some of...
the more well known locations in the area like Aria and Aqua Turf - which don’t get me wrong are stunning, but often overdone in my opinion. Not only Is it not overused, which gives it its own charm, it’s family owned and you feel like family from the time you book- never just a number. Enzo and Veronica are extremely flexible and accommodating, answering any and all questions I had no matter how crazy. When I got COVID 11 days before my wedding I didn’t have to worry because Veronica was on top of it.
My guests and family cannot stop raving about the food, flowing drinks and overall service. The aesthetic is also unmatched. We were initially concerned considering we had a larger wedding ~190 guests and we’d never attended an event here but this was the PERFECT space. Not too big to feel overwhelming and not too small to feel cramped. We highly recommend Testa’s for any of your event needs.

han 5 stars we most certainly would! From the start of our wedding planning, Enzo was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, kind, and informative. Enzo was very responsive, answering the many questions I had while planning a wedding during a pandemic. His responses were always timely. Fast forward to wedding day, and again nothing but a positive experience. The decor and room set up was done beautifully! It really looked gorgeous and truly matched my vision of what I wanted my ceremony/reception room to look like. Both Enzo and Veronica did an awesome job from the beginning of the night to the end. Everything flowed so smoothly, despite my worries. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were not only with the taste, but the portions as well. Enzo and the rest of the staff took great care of us and our guests all night. If you are looking for a beautiful; yet affordable venue with delicious food and attentive staff, Testa’s is the place for you. Thank you Enzo and staff for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

ne complaint that I was quite upset about. One of my coworkers had ordered the vegetarian meal which was suppose to be the eggplant parm, but instead she was served a bowl of veggies. When asking the server he said that that was the vegetarian meal. So I am upset that my guest never received her meal and a little upset Testa's did nothing to fix this issue. This was my only issue with them.

y time we called. She made us feel secure that she would make sure our day was perfect, and in fact it was. They decorated the place just how I pictured it. Everything was set up when we arrived. And she made the our day that much special by making sure everything was perfect and one less thing for us to worry about. The food was delish. But not having to stress about the big day, was the icing on top and that was thanks to ASHLEY!
