The Venetian Catering & Special Events

ough wedding venues are crazy overpriced in general, that room was a deal compared to all the other venues we saw for the amount that the venetian supplies you with. The building is beautiful, and everyone working there is a professional. The food is amazing and in abundance. I believe Maggie was our Maitre'd, and Carolina was my bridal attendant. They were both absolutely amazing. My only regret is that I was so stressed that I barely ate or drank anything. I can't wait until I can go back and enjoy someone else's wedding there.

d until we left. Anything we needed was done instantly by our Maître D' or bridal attendant. The service was exceptional! All my guest had nothing but great things to say about the staff and their service.... and so many great comments about the food! By far one of the best cocktail hours and dinner food for a catering venue! I will 1000% recommend this venue to many people and hoping to have another amazing party there in the future!!

hey facilitated changes every time I called, no questions ask. We finally did the graduation party with exceptional service on September 2021.

eous the Venetian was. And how the food was the best food they ever had. The service is amazing and they take such good care of you. I love them there.

was delicious! Can’t wait to be a guest at a wedding there in the future !

cstatic to have the Venetian host our big day. But with the events of 2020 it was anything less than exciting! Starting in April when I knew I had to rebook my July 2020 because of NJ restrictions, they strung me a long saying they could potentially still have my wedding in July. Then we had back and forth phone calls where they were willing to rebook and asked me to pick a date any date to find out later it wasn’t available or they’d call back and say those dates I chose in the spring and summer I was not allowed to have. I wound up being given 3 dates to choose from; 2 being on Fridays in Lent. When we tried to get a refund, They refused even though they couldn’t accommodate my wedding with the restrictions. We wrote to the owners and the BBA and still got no help but they tried to negotiate. They said I had to rebook in 2021 and no dates were ideal as I wanted to use the outdoors. I had to settle on March 12. As March approached, my father fell very ill and we had to cancel. I wrote and called the owners to explain my circumstance that I was not canceling due to covid restrictions still, but my father would not be able to attend my wedding. We needed the refund to help with my dad’s care. They responded with ‘they were a business that dealt with hardships too.’ I am disgusted by this multimillion dollar business that compares hardships of an ill father to not making AS MUCH money. They had no empathy towards a bride who couldn’t have their big wedding day and also was losing their father. They asked if I wanted to do it in the summer, even though a year ago 2021 summer dates were off limits to me. I was not thinking about postponing a wedding as I took care of my dad and watched him wither away. My father passed away a week ago prior to the new wedding date. They kept a portion of our money and were not empathetic at all. I had small vendors refund my money in such difficult and trying times. I will not recommend this venue as the business managers and owners were shrewd and not sympathetic at all.

with rebooking their weddings with their venues. The Venetian is the most miserable venue to deal with and they are not giving me an answer with my wedding 2 months out. They don't care about all the vendors I have to cancel, they don't care about invites going out, they care about moving my date and charging me anywhere from $7,500-$15,000 to do it. I have asked about 100 times when they will let me know that my event cannot happen and I have been told it will be "when the owner decides". I will tell anyone who will listen AVOID THIS PLACE. What is supposed to be one of the happiest times of my life is being made miserable and stressful by a money driven venue that doesn't care about people.

Venetian is still refusing to give us a postponement date for next year. I’ve been reaching out to them since April, even wrote emails to the owner and still gotten pushed around. With my wedding in less than 2 months I still have no info on what to tell my guests or vendors. Planning a wedding is already stressful but to go through this is beyond words. I’m frustrated and disappointed in the customer service we’ve gotten from this venue. NOT ACCOMMODATING AT ALL! Not worth the money and headache. I wish this on no bride!

ION from start to finish! From the food to the service, I've never experienced anything like it before. Choosing the venue was the easiest decision I had to make during the entire process because I knew there was no other venue that could even remotely compare to the Venetian. My guests still rave about how much food there was and how AMAZING it was, how attentive and efficient the service was, and how stunning the rooms were. My bridal attendant & maitre d' were phenomenal! Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL and we are so happy! My husband and I get so excited for any chance we get to go back to the Venetian for any event...it has become our special place. THANK YOU to the entire staff at the Venetian for making my dream wedding a reality!!! - Mr & Mrs Murro

ion of the reception itself was outstanding. Their Bridal Attendant, Carolina, was so considerate and made sure my wife was always taken care of. Our guests are still talking about the amazing cocktail hour and the truly incredible food from the dinner. The ambience of the Grand Ball Room was exactly what we wanted and the addition of the LED Lighting package and Screens helped further enhance our special day.

your bartenders, everyone was beyond amazing. The food, atmosphere, and staff are over the top and I could not have been happier on my wedding day. Every guest at my wedding was in awe of how amazing everything was and it is truly thanks to the Venetian. The venue is beyond gorgeous and once you has in every staff member and people who work in the office to help coordinate your big day, it is truly amazing at how great they all are. Toni Ann and Norah in the offices were so helpful because I was an out of town bride. Christina my was amazing and was there for me at every second i needed her. Filipo our mater Dei was awesome as well. Look no further this is the best place to have your dream wedding.

gorgeous and the cocktail hour was phenomenal - the biggest selection of food and so delicious! The Venetian staff made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of - they even packed up desserts for the bride and groom to take home since we were too busy dancing to eat them! The bridal attendant and Maitre D also went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

the package that we needed for our quantity of guests. Our day of coordinator, Felipe was absolutely amazing and made sure that all of our guests were having a great time and that the reception ran smoothly. I was highly impressed with my bridal attendant who did more than I expected (i.e. handling the long train of my dress). The only negative experience I had was when we had a completely different person handling our day of details appointment, and she wasn't as friendly when answering questions and understanding out needs. We ended up getting better explanations and changing things when we met up with Nora again the week of our wedding. Be prepared to visit at least 3-4 times to get all of the details and finances taken care of (if you live farther away). If the food at your wedding reception is important to you, look no further. ALL of my guests raved about the quality AND quantity of food that was available and they all loved the cocktail hour as well as the main courses. I was a little worried because we didn't get any extra packages i..e. seafood but there was more than enough food and everyone left happy.

glove service The Venetian offers to its clients. We were able to witness the amount of staff they had on hand to setup the cocktail hour and how beautiful the cocktail hour was displayed. This venue has, in my opinion, the grandest ballroom in the TriState area. The Venetian Palazzo room is immaculate, the pillars leading down the corridor to the waiting area of this ballroom sets the tone. The attention to detail in this room is incredible, in my honest opinion there is no flaw. From the marble floor to the high vaulted ceiling you will feel very grand. George and Nora assisted throughout the process of contemplation and helped us with all of our needs prior to reserving the date. Barbara was extremely helpful in reviewing the menu and selecting our cocktail hours, and main dishes. Our bridal attendant is the very best, and that is an understatement, beyond helpful, caring and respectful. Our Maitre D on the other hand was a bit upsetting. At entry he demanded $200 and had very little coordination with us. Both myself and my wife went to the Bridal attendant for all our needs and questions. Aside from our matire’d our wedding reception was an absolute success. Thank you Venetian, George, Nora, and our bridal attendant for all of you attention to our wedding reception.

y and every need. And Barbara’s service was exquisite. Our guests can not stop raving about our wedding. The food, the Viennese room, the service... everything was impeccable. I wish I could relive that day every single day. Thank you again to everyone at the Venetian for making our dream wedding come true!

s. Everything the Venetian puts out is truly quality. They also allowed me to be creative with some of the pass hors d’ ouerves I really wanted (Pinterest inspired). The staff was flawless and the entire venue is absolutely stunning. All of our guests were completely wowed. Our high expectations were not only met, but truly exceeded! Aneta was the best bridal attendant and Felipe was the perfect maître d’ to execute every aspect of the wedding. Definitely request for them! The Venetian is the best!

Our day was perfect from start to end and our venue played a large part in this! I literally spilled an entire espresso martini down the front of my dress...the bridal attendants jumped into action, and my mini meltdown lasted all of about 10 minutes because they got it all out! I was in shock. They stayed by my side the entire night, yet not once did I notice that they were there. Someone would magically pop up to hold my drink, or help me change my shoes. I cannot say enough good things about their staff. I would highly recommend anyone to get married at the Venetian. They are the best in the business, and true professionals at what they do.

we were going for. The staff was very helpful throughout the whole process. Someone was always available to answer all of my questions. The day of the wedding was spectacular. Our bridal attendant, Aneta was nothing short of incredible! She was my shadow that night and made sure that everything I needed was right there when I needed it. I told her that we wanted to make sure we stayed hydrated, so she kept our waters (and our alcohol too) coming and even followed us to the dance floor with waters! She sewed a piece of my dress that was coming loose, got me whatever I needed throughout the night, and literally anticipated my every need. She was amazing, as was the entire wedding experience at the Venetian. Our guests loved that they could have shots, I know a lot of vendors don’t allow shots. Our guests loved the amount and quality of food served. The desert was unreal. Everything was honestly amazing.

n honestly say that it was the best venue I have ever been to. Our maître d (Felipe) and bridal attendant (Aneta) took amazing care of us. I cannot begin to describe the level of service of the staff. Anything that we needed, we had, immediately. Not only did they take fabulous care of us they took amazing care of our families and our guests. They throw the best party in the world. Our family and friends keep raving about the food, service, room and all around whole experience. Worth every penny. Thank you to the entire team at the Venetian for an absolutely FLAWLESS experience! -Daniel & Alana Fossati Wedding- April 20, 2018

d! And the staff ran like a well oiled machine! The entire venue blew me away! Thank you so much to everyone at the Venetian!

sts impressed. The amount of food you are given is nothing I've ever seen at any other wedding. The ambiance is breathe-taking. Both room are beautiful but I'm bias to the Grand Ballroom. Trust me if you pick the Venetian you will not be disappointed. The only thing that will disappoint you is when the night ends =( Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable. August 12th, 2017. Dana & Vincent.

oyalty! There was always someone making sure we were okay and didn't need anything! They went above and beyond when making us feel special!

ding day my veil had been ripped and I was sad that I wouldn't be able to wear it. HAVE NO FEAR, my bridal attendant & savior had a needle & thread and sewed it back together flawlessly. Then my husbands suspender broke & she pulled out safety pins to fix it. She was like my shadow the entire night (not too much so that it was annoying). She made sure we always had the drinks we wanted steadily available & made sure we ate. I have not heard one single complaint from any of the guest that attended our wedding. I don't believe that there is a venue out there that can top the elegance and professionalism found at The Venetian. Thank you to everyone at The Venetian for making our wedding day so perfect!!

uch a small space so I will highlight the most important parts. The food is out of this world. The cocktail hour is second to none. You get everything. Most places make you choose stations; The Venetian gives you EVERYTHING. Our Maitre D, was phenomenal. They made the night run so smoothly. Everything was perfect and we had no issues. Angelina was my bridal attendant. She is the most amazing person I have ever met. She fixed wardrobe malfunctions, brought us everything we could ever ask for, and helped us maintain the timeline of the day. Every time I turned around she was there with water, a drink, a bite to eat, different shoes, and ready to take on the challenges of a wedding day. We are so grateful for her an attribute a lot of the success of our wedding to her. The dinner was delicious, even though I didn’t eat it until the next day. (They boxed it up and sent it home with us! Thanks!) Every last selection was hand crafted for us. Our guest were so impressed. If we could make one suggestion to you as a bride and groom, do the Viennese Hour. It is worth it. Our guests were not expecting the glass walls to open up into the most spectacular dessert display. They were mesmerized! WE were mesmerized. There was nothing they could have done to make our wedding a more perfect day. They did everything. We chose The Venetian because we knew to expect perfection. They created an unforgettable, perfect day for our family and friends. Our guests have been raving about our wedding ever since the day and we are so thankful for the absolutely perfect day that they helped to create. There are no words to thank them for everything they did to make our wedding beautiful. It is not common to hear that a wedding went perfectly, but ours did. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day.

with George that was spectacular. When we arrived on the party day, we were greeted with our own personal attendant, Michelle. She catered to our every need. The cocktail hour service was fantastic. The guests commented on how attentive the staff was and catered to their requests. When we moved into the Grand Ballroom, there was a server at every table who attended to the needs of our guests. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The bartenders were friendly and recommended drinks for our guests. Osama was our maitre d'. He was calm, professional and attentive. He gave us suggestions and helped us coordinate the flow of the night. The night could not have been better. To top it off, guests were ecstatic about the hot donuts, gelato, and coffee on the way out . Our guests can't stop raving about the party. To the CEO, Jim, thank you for keeping your promise of providing quality food and excellent service. Definitely the best venue that we have been to in Northern New Jersey. We are looking for a reason to return...sweet 16 party, wedding anniversary, or something that brings us back to the ambiance we experienced. Best party ever!

pinion, but with the hand passed ordevoirs as well. Our wedding was around 330 people, and everyone was raving. My bridal attendant was just amazing. She made me feel so comfortable, and took care of everything. She kept reminding me to drink water, and walked us through everything. Our matredee Osama was fantastic, and we even revised our day of schedule ever so slightly per his suggestion. The dinners were all amazing, the dessert trio, and they packed up anything we didn't eat for us. The cherry on top was the (totally unkown) jelado and donut bar afterwords. I don't know if everyone gets this or what we did to deserve it because there weren't any other weddings going on, but people are still talking about everything. The final details manager Baraara and the booking manager Nora were both also excellent. Every detail we talked about from exact stage set up, to separation of nonalcaholic and alcoholic to all the trimmings were done exactly as we requested. All the handpassed aps we picked were all also exactly right. It couldn't have been better. All my cousins (who all got married before me) and my siblings are saying it was the best wedding they ever attended. Also, yes, there are 2 weddings taht can technically go on at the same time, but everything is so separated it is nothing to worry about. However, it was a nice bonus to be the only one (perks of a winter wedding). Thank you to everyone, it was truly a dream.

our to Viennese hour. The final touch that my guests and I loved was as they walked out they received donuts, Starbucks coffee and gelato ice cream to go. It was a night full of surprises. Additionally, I was contemplating getting a day of wedding planner but with the Venetian you honestly don't need it. They handled it all and left me to just enjoy it all. Great staff & service! Highly recommend.

to die for and the Palazzo room was absolutely stunning. Our family and friends had an amazing time dancing the night away and upon leaving were treated to hot donuts, coffee and gelato for the ride home (not like anyone had room). We will never forget our wedding at the Venetian and look forward to being invited there as a guest as MR and MRS DeVito!

e around to my Coordinator AB to the wonderful bridal attendents that helped me from the second I walked in to making sure I didn't forget my dinner and fresh doughnut on my way out! The food was amazing and the Palazzo Room is beyond gorgeous! I cant think of anything I would change if I could! It is definitely a two thumbs up kinda venue! I hope I can come back and enjoy it as guest one day especially during the amazing dessert hour!! Thank you again to all of the staff and hope to see you soon!

nd detail for focusing and celebrating the purpose of the event, which is to highlight the couple and their love. Maybe I;m just a purist but it felt like a show venue more than a wedding venue.

and answering all of my many questions over the course of two years. This venue is well maintained, beautifully ornate and highly sophisticated. I was going for a very classic, romantic vibe, and this venue captured all of it. Many guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Highly recommend.

uffed after the 1.5 hour cocktail hour, they still enjoyed delectable dinner choices. The service is also unparalleled. Anetta, my bridal attendant was nothing short of astonishing. She made sure that my husband and I were taken care of from the minute we walked in the door. She made sure we were fed and had drinks. She fluffed my dress when taking photos and corralled the bridal party and family members. Our night would not have been the same without her. I cannot offer enough praise. Osama and John, the managers were also fabulous. John is hilarious and Osama was very helpful. They made sure everything was taken care of all night. I cannot give enough praise of the entire team at the Venetian!

ur package with Michael who was so helpful and kind throughout our booking experience. Upon arriving at our wedding we were greeted by Osama our maitre d and Michelle my bridal attendant. Osama controlled the flow of our evening and I felt no stress at all. My bridal attendant Michelle was by my side every step of the way. I can't begin to explain how amazing, wonderful, and fantastic she was. She helped with every aspect of my wedding and made my wedding run so smoothly that I enjoyed all 6 hours of our wedding. THANK YOU MICHELLE!!! I received rave reviews about the food, staff, and the ambience. Choose the Venetian and you will not be disappointed.

of everything and you don't have nothing to worry about anything. You're treated like royalty on the day of your wedding with personal attendants at your service making sure that everything is going smoothly, as well as making sure you don't miss out on any of the food or drinks. Highly recommend the Venetian dessert hour! We continue to receive compliments from our guests about how incredible everything was!

rything you want it to be. I would never have imagined having our reception anywhere else. The room is beautiful and large. The ceilings made a huge difference for the kind of affair we wanted to throw. The food is top-notch and the service was outstanding. Everyone we met from start to finish was fantastic and always so helpful. You may think is too expensive to have your wedding here, but compared to other places we looked at, they absolutely give you the MOST for you money. The only thing you can add is the Viennese Hour (which is a must!!) and their Seafood Extravaganza. We did both and it was so worth it. We have no regrets. You get what you pay for and what you get is impeccable service, amazing food, beautiful restaurant, and the time of your life!!! We love the Venetian and look forward to coming back for future events. Thank you all so much!

aving about The Venetian. We have been to ALOT of weddings and they blow all the other venues out of the water! Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

ike superstars until the very end! Thank you so much for providing and catering to our wedding and meeting our every need. Michelle (the bridal attendant) was fantastic. She was there for our every need. The maitre d was great also and walked us through everything. Nora was wonderful throughout the planning process- Super friendly, genuinely sweet, and organized. The Venetian is a top notch venue of class and elegance! I could not have pictured a more beautiful wedding venue. Thank you. Simply Amazing!!!

!) they catered to our every need. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the entire staff, especially my bridal attendant and maitre'd. Here is a rundown of our wedding: 1. Number of Guests 270 2. Grand Ballroom 3. Full cocktail hour from 6-7:30 (was supposed to be 6:30 but guests arrived early, Venetian gladly accommodated) 4. First course (split plate), intermezzo, entrée 5. Reception and Viennese hour until 12:30 Major takeaways- My wedding was run like a well-oiled machine. I really don't know how else to explain it. Everything was planned down to the last detail. The staff wore ear-pieces. We saw everything before it happened; we were escorted to cocktail hour, the ballroom, and the Viennese hour all before they started so we could see it all. I swear I felt like the President (...kind of). I can promise you there is no comparison to the spread of food offered at both the cocktail hour and the Viennese hour at any catering hall in New Jersey, probably even the tri-state area. Full disclosure--I can't tell you much about the bar because all of our drinks were brought to us and I mostly had champagne, but they made a mean (and fresh!) mojito as one of my signature drinks. The other drink we chose was a Man-Mosa. When we approached the Venetian about it, they said they had never heard of it before. We told them the ingredients and, voila! They nailed it. If you're on the fence about choosing the Venetian, get off and go for it! Sure, it wasn't cheap, but "worth it" would be an understatement. Thank you again to the Venetian for making our special day so memorable. I can only hope our family and friends have their weddings here so we can continue to enjoy it!

vice is beyond outstanding. Carlos the manager is excellent. I wish I could have another event their.
