The Villa Barone Hilltop Manor

ICK, VINNY, ROB, MELISSA AND STAFF MADE OUR WEDDING DAY THE GREATEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. FOOD IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A WEDDING AND THE VILLA BARONE EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, NO OTHER VENUE WILL EVER COMPARE TO THE VILLA BARONE. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL AND CATERED TO ME, WIFE AND GUESTS AT ALL TIMES. VILLA BARONE HAS SPECTACULAR GROUNDS AND THE FIRST LOOK PICTURES AT THE LAKE WERE AMAZING AS WELL. WE ALSO GO MARRIED AT THE VILLA BARONE AND I JUST HAVE ONE THING SAY ABOUT THE CEREMONY, WOW!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR SPECIAL OCCASION AT THE VILLA BARONE HILLTOP MANOR, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! I WOULD LIKE THANK NICK, VINNY, ROB, MELISSA AND STAFF FOR EVERYTHING THEY DID FOR ME AND MY WIFE ON OUR WEDDING DAY. WE WILL SEE YOU GUYS SOON FOR OUR NEXT SPECIAL OCCASION... LOVE CHRIS AND LEA MEMON

nd helped me with my train all night. They packed us all our leftovers, a tier of our cake, and had all our things ready to go at the end of the night. The Villa Barone is very efficient and everything went off without a hitch, even when we had to move the ceremony indoors only an hour or two prior. Everyone said that the food was amazing, the venue was beautiful, and the workers were friendly and accommodating. Many people said, “Best wedding we have ever been to.” Prior to the wedding, we dealt with several different people, all who were equally knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. They had excellent recommendations for food, decorations, and other vendors. Everything went so smoothly the entire day of our wedding and we did not have to worry about a single thing. They handled everything in stride and are really a top-notch venue. I could not recommend the Villa Barone any more!!

ist me in the entire planning process. They helped my vision come true and gave me the wedding of my dreams. The night of, my guests were blown away by the quality and amount of food. They are still talking about how it was the best wedding they have been to. The service was amazing. Rob and Rachael were incredible. Rob ran everything perfectly and was so on top of timing and the execution of the night. Rachael was there for my every need and anticipated what I needed before I even asked. I truly could have not asked for a better night. Thank you for making my wedding everything I could’ve hoped for plus so much more! You guys went above and beyond to make my special day perfect.

helped us make our wedding the best day of our lives. From the first look at their gorgeous lake side venue to the outdoor ceremony next to their beautiful waterfall, I can truly say everything was perfect. Nicky and the entire staff were so wonderful to work with and we are so grateful for everything they did for us!! Truly amazing customer service that can’t be beat.

d to move the date. Every promise they made to ensure our wedding day was perfect, was delivered and some. The owners and staff are top tier, great people who throw a great party and make you feel like family. Food is incredible and the service impeccable. Special shout out to Nicky, Vinny, Johnny, Luigi, Rachel and Victor!!

nce is easy, i was treated as family and not just a customer. 2 days after the event and having time to reflect my daughter and son in-law were still raving about the special day!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHEDif i could give them 10 stars i would!!! THANK YOU Villa Barone i am one happy father.

azing. I especially appreciated the matre D Luigi and bridal attendant Maria for all they did.

to 10/24/21. The process of changing our wedding date with them was so efficient and great! It really made planning a wedding during a pandemic so much better. The staff is absolutely WONDERFUL! A special thank you to Vinny and Nicky for turning our dream wedding into a reality. Everything was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. And of course a big thank you to our maitre d Luigi and our bridal attendant Luciana. They both were so amazing and professional. We really felt like royalty that night thanks to them! Booking The Villa Barone Hilltop Manor was the best decision we made!

erstanding. He answered all of our questions, multiples times even given the different family members who joined us. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, but we were kept up to date on any news or changes that were happening. They helped us reschedule our date and really gave us the wedding of our dreams! We met with Stephen the week of our big day to go over the set up and final details. He had amazing suggestions and was able to really fulfill all of our requests despite changes outside of our control due to COVID. He was able keep me calm despite the anxiety I was experiencing and really fulfilled the dreams we had for our day. From the moment we arrived until boarding our bus back to the hotel, it was an incredible night! Our guests could not stop commenting about how amazing and attentive every single staff member was, especially Stephen and our bridal attendant. They worked so diligently to accommodate all needs from dietary restrictions to the ever-changing needs of young children. They helped me take off my veil and bustle my dress, in addition to a last-minute bustling fix on the dance floor, which were so helpful! They knew what they were doing and made what could have been a tricky wardrobe change effortless. They were so unbelievably helpful with our vendors and photographers/videographers and even supported them so that our photographs would be even more amazing! The food was incredible and plentiful as well! Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious it all was! Some guests even thought the cocktail hour was our reception space because of how beautiful it was. They were floored when they went up to the grand ballroom! It was just stunning! Every detail was meticulously thought out and put together to make it feel as though you were walking into a fairytale. Every moment of our night was well planned and thought out, so that we never felt as though we were missing any part of our big day! We could not stop smiling that night because it felt like a fairytale and we will forever be grateful to the staff for making our dreams come true!

on the experience and knowledge they have for the industry. While there touring they were upgrading the lobby’s interior which of course sold us even more on the elegance this venue has. Fast forward till now, certain events have accrued and the wedding is being cancelled , when I called to cancel ( 7 months before the weddings. Date), I was told we’d get a call from vinny then we were instructed we would have to sign a release form , which they emailed over. Here’s the defining moment for a business and how they handle things, we had questions about the release form and signing off on catering damages and not being able to post negatively on social media , you see we read our contract very carefully and understood that we were putting down a deposit to hold the date of the venue, however we had made two subsequent payments after that initial deposit, in the release form we were told we were forfeiting all money given to them. We wanted clarification because this is not what we understood the contract to mean.. Johnny called us back and after a lil going back n forth was very unprofessional. Telling us we can try to call a lawyer but it will cost us more, than what we’ve lost, and that if we don’t sign the release form we are responsible for $30,000. Side note the total cost of our reception was under $20,000 . Johnny continues to get loud and argumentative, saying he’s loosing money then so are we. I work in the wedding industry, and I’m appalled by how he handled speaking to us and how he threatened and treated us.. They have amazing reviews for when things go great!! But it’s the times when things dont, that show true character of a business .

itre d Robert packing up ALL of the reception dinner and desserts for my husband and I to take home with us at the end of the event. We felt like royalty the entire way through. Every moment was perfectly calculated and accounted for and they worked with my planners very seamlessly. Now that it’s obvious how fantastic the service was, I’ll move to the venue itself. The ceremony area was nothing short of breathtaking. I didn’t have to spend much on flowers for the ceremony given how beautiful the ceremony grounds are already. And the reception hall was so grand and spacious that again, I felt simple decor would do the trick. As for the food, my guests could not stop raving about our cake and how full they felt even after cocktail hour! My husband and I will forever relive this day and so will our guests. THANK YOU Villa Barone , Nick, Vinny, and everyone else for taking such good care of us.

have waiters that really care about everyone enjoying themselves. They really took care of my nephews wedding . You won’t be disappointed,this is a win , win .

booked our wedding prior to Covid and unfortunately had to reschedule twice. We made multiple visits, and phone calls with the staff leading up to the wedding, and they always made themselves available to answer our questions, and accommodate our requests. Vinny, Stephen and Johnny were all so accommodating and easy to work with through such a challenging and uncertain time, On the day of our wedding, Alexis and Steven were our attendant, and maitre d. They exceeded expectations and were so on top of everything with timing, and sequence of events. The wedding went exactly as planned, but it was beyond our expectations. We truly are grateful for the exceptional level of service this venue provided. As for the food…wow. Just…wow. Absolutely delicious. Quantity and quality. There was so much food. We did not get to do a tasting before the wedding due to covid and we were truly blown away by how delicious everything was. Some of our guests thought the cocktail hour was dinner! The cake was phenomenal. The flavors were exquisite as was the texture. So delicate and delicious. Our Guests were raving about how amazing the food was and were shocked by the Vienesse Hour. Absolutely everything about this venue was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. We could recommend the Hilltop Manor at Villa Barone to absolutely anyone. We had heard from so many of our guests that this was the greatest wedding they have been to. We cannot wait to come back for somebody else’s wedding as a guest!

ing. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about how perfect everything was at the Villa Barone for our wedding reception. Hands down would recommend them for any wedding, other options do not even compare!

xiety immediately relieved. Nick was always attentive to our needs during the planning and helped guide us in the right direction to planning the most perfect day. We were fully comfortable with putting all of our trust with the Villa Barone family while planning our wedding during these hard times and they took the utmost care of us throughout the entire process. The venue itself is breathtaking and so spacious! Once inside the building or on one of the terraces upstairs, you forgot you were on a main road. The décor is beautiful, the rooms and bathrooms are immaculate and moving from room to room within the building was completely enjoyable. On the wedding day, the staff was completely attentive. Our Maître De, Robert, and bridal attendant, Luciana, were the best and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to run the show on our special day. And the food was absolutely exquisite. Everyone was wow’ed by the abundance of delicious and eclectic array of food at our cocktail hour and throughout the rest of the night. It is safe to say that no one left the reception hungry or unsatisfied with the food. We were definitely recommend using the in-house vendors. Get Down Entertainment and RunwayFoto were did an excellent job and helped make our day even more special. Our guests left the venue smiling ear to ear and we have heard by so many that this was the best wedding they have ever attended. When reading reviews at wedding venues, it is easy to think that most reviews will be good because you would hope every bride and groom enjoys their wedding day. But when we say we would recommend you to have your wedding at Villa Barone, we absolutely mean it. We are sitting on cloud nine remembering this day and how perfectly everything went and are figuring out how and when we could host another party there again!

d with every detail throughout the night and never skipped a beat. Between setting up and organizing our ceremony, to making sure my husband and I had a chance to eat, to setting up an amazing after party the list could go on and on. You can tell that everyone who works here genuinely loves what they do and because of that they are all equally extraordinary at making sure every detail is taken care of. They make you feel like family and any stress or anxiety I had from the morning went right out the window the second I walked through the doors. My bridal attendants Lucia and Maria were there to help me every single step of the way and I have to say my dress (which I was the most nervous about) is truly thanking them for that. The food is unmatched to any other venue I’ve been to and my guests could not stop raving about how impressed they were (for a big Italian wedding we all know how important that is). I put all my faith and trust into these guys and they truly exceeded all of my expectations. All their desserts are in house so they are fresh and even better than a bakery. Vinny and Ashley helped design my wedding cake because I wasn’t sure what I wanted and when I saw it I was was blown away. Rob our maitre d cannot get enough accolades. Before I could even think to ask him a question he was already on it and the ceremony and party went without a hitch. The amount of calls and texts I got from family and friends who attended was out of control, it made every penny worth it, knowing that every single person couldn’t say enough of how incredible everything was. Being in the industry myself I have been to almost every venue in the area, and without any hesitation or doubt I can genuinely say that the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor is by far the greatest venue out there, these guys know what they’re doing and you will not be disappointed !! Thank you to the entire staff, you are all AMAZING and I am so beyond grateful for everything that you all did for my husband and I!!! I wish I could give 100 stars!!

. We were extremely impressed with their venue settings, food options, and commitment to service. We were ready and excited to celebrate our big day in May of 2020. As many wedding couples experienced last year, COVID completely disrupted and altered any and all wedding plans we had for our May wedding day. My wife and I were absolutely devastated to have to cancel our wedding only weeks prior to our originally scheduled date. There was so much uncertainty, confusion, and quite frankly fear, about what the next steps would be, what would happen, and if we ever would get to experience the wedding day we always dreamed of. Fortunately, the only saving grace throughout this entire process was that we chose Villa Barone as our wedding venue, and led by Vinny, the staff and employees of this remarkable wedding venue redefined what it meant to provide outstanding service. During the absolute chaos which was the summer of 2020, Vinny remained upbeat and positive for us, allowing us to reschedule (and once again cancel) our date three times before settling on May 2021 (exactly on our one year anniversary!). We had heard true horror stories from other wedding couples about all of the issues they were having with their venues, and we already felt so blessed that we did not have to experience that. However, their commitment to treating us with first-class service did not simply end there. The day of our wedding was everything we ever could have dreamed of and more. The presentation and decorations for the ceremony, cocktail room, and main banquet hall were stunningly perfect. Many of our guests thought the cocktail hour was the actual dinner because there was that much food provided! Steve and Rachel were excellent to us all night, making sure we had everything and anything we could have wanted. At the end of the night, countless friends and families told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and it is all thanks to Villa Barone! I hope that anyone reading this understands that this is much more than just a wedding venue review - but rather a true testament of gratitude to the exceptional people who work at Villa Barone. Many venues have beautiful settings and delicious food, but if you want to be truly taken care of and treated like family, then Villa Barone is the place to go. We would highly recommend them without hesitation to any future wedding couples, we promise you will not be disappointed! Love, Nolan & Kristina P.S - Be sure to get the venetian dessert table - it is 1000% worth it and everyone will be talking about it weeks after your event!

ng I’ve ever gone to! From the food, to the beautiful ballroom, to the AMAZING Viennese hour which is SO WORTH IT - everything was absolutely spectacular and I wouldn’t change a thing about that day. Nicky, Johnny, Vinny are incredible - they are well oiled machines who know how to put on a wedding. Our matrie d Rob was fantastic and my bridal attendant Rachel was amazing. She truly was a God send that day! Steve D is also fantastic. He makes you feel so comfortable and truly cares about what he’s doing. Highly highly recommend over and over!

re seen as necessities to Villa Barone and were simply included in their wedding packages—from ice sculptures to thrones and a stage for the sweetheart table to premium food choices. The wedding day itself was nothing short of spectacular. Prior to it, many friends warned us that the day goes by so quickly and you’re so busy that you don’t get much time to enjoy it. For our wedding, Villa Barone did a fantastic job of making this seemingly common warning unnecessary, for we both always felt like the guests of honor. We had plenty of time to eat, dance, and say hello to all our guests because the Villa Barone staff made sure that whenever we had to leave the ballroom for pictures, we returned promptly without missing anything. Another thing that stuck out to us on the actual wedding day is how smoothly everything ran. Villa Barone’s staff was in constant communication with one another to ensure that every component of the reception—from the cocktail hour to the final dance—happened without a hitch. While it may sound cliche, Villa Barone and its staff truly have weddings down to a science. When it was time for toasts, everyone had champagne in their glasses. When it was time for the pasta course, all of the salad plates had been already cleared. When it was time to cut the cake, the DJ was notified in advance so that he could end the current dance set and make the proper announcement. While these things may seem minor or even insignificant, they are all things that the two of us have witnessed go wrong at other weddings where the staff members were not as diligent and efficient as those at Villa Barone. Speaking of staff members, the entire staff was kind, professional, and deserving of praise, from the busboys to Steve, our maitre d'. Dozens of family members and friends have reached out to us over the past two weeks since our wedding. Every single one has said that it was the best that they have ever attended. We deeply and profoundly agree. Villa Barone made our wedding perfect in every way imaginable, and we wholeheartedly recommend them.

with. After meeting with Nick and his staff at Villa Barone Hilltop, we knew this was the place for our wedding day. We left feeling like we were family, and we just met them! Our original date was July 11th 2020. We all know that never happened. We were able to switch our date to July 10th 2021. The process of switching and communicating was so easy. The communication and professionalism from the entire staff is incredible. Before arriving to our reception, we were able to take photos at the lake front property. Absolutely beautiful!! From the second my husband and I walked off our party bus, we were greeted and welcomed by the amazing staff. The service is top of the line, like nothing we have ever seen before. Shout out to Rob and Rachel for making sure everything ran smoothly and making sure everyone was happy and taken care of. Our reception was held upstairs in the grand ballroom. Our guests are still taking about how amazing the wedding was. From the food at cocktail hour, the service, drinks, the main meal, and dessert. They said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. At the end of the night, Nick asked us how everything was. I started to cry. ( Happy tears) I was honestly at a lose of words because everything was just that perfect!! To the entire staff at Villa Barone Hilltop, THANK YOU for making our wedding day so magical.

lace we wanted to have our wedding. The service was spectacular, the venue is beautiful and the food is out of this world. Words cannot describe the appreciation we have for everyone at Villa Barone, especially Nick, Vinny, Rachel and Stephen! Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget. With love, Michael and Kristina DeMeis

guests raved about the food and were surprised by the large portion sizes. We worked with Steve leading up to our wedding and he gave us a bunch of great vendor recommendations who we did use since we weren’t from Mahopac. All were top notch. Anytime I had a question- Steve always made sure to follow through. On the night of we had Rob as our matre’di and he made us feel comfortable the entire time and kept checking in to make sure we were happy. Alexis was my bridal attendant and she was great! My floral arrangement was so heavy and she was so kind as to hold it in between all the pictures. In a crunch she was able to bustle my dress and attend to anything I needed. Johnny and Vinny are absolutely fabulous and made us feel like family since we started working with them. Aside from the staff the venue is gorgeous. I honestly hope I know someone else who gets married here so that I can attend as a guest. But if not, I know if we dropped in to say hello that we’d be welcomed with open arms. Get married here. They make you feel like family.

e our wedding a few times and despite so many postponements, Gianni and Vinny gladly worked with us to ensure we had a date and made the entire process so smooth for us. The staff at the Villa Barone are the absolute best. Vinny is absolutely amazing and was so helpful throughout our entire process. Before our wedding date we went over how we wanted everything to look for our big day and Vinny made sure everything was better than what we had discussed. Also absolutely everything we provided the staff with for our wedding was used and at the end of the night everything that had to be returned to us was returned in pristine condition. As soon as we arrived to the venue on our wedding date I was assigned a bridal assistant, Rachel, who was so amazing. So many people have told me that the bride and groom usually don’t eat at their weddings but Rachel made sure I ate during our cocktail hour, dinner and she even put desserts aside for us from our Viennese table. Not only did she ensure we ate but she made sure to pack food and desserts for us to take home. She truly went above and beyond the entire night. Rachel made sure my dress and hair were fixed for pictures and she even bustled my dress when I was ready. Steven our maitre’d also went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had drinks of our choice and making sure the night ran smoothly. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about Steven and Rachel and about the Villa Barone staff in general. The Villa Barone staff also made sure that a family member of mine had puréed food all night. I was told that the staff was so attentive to this family member making sure that they enjoyed absolutely all of the same foods and desserts all of our other guests were having. We will be eternally grateful to Vinny, Gianni, Rachel, Steven and all of the staff at the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor for ensuring we had the most amazing wedding! Thank you!

changed the world. We literally found Italy in New York and couldn’t be more happier with how things turned out. These people treat you like family. Thank you to Vinny, Steve and Duffy for your outstanding service. Special thanks to a wonderful young woman by the name of Gia. I was the first bride that Gia was in charge of and let me say, it was a honor to be the first. She was so sweet and attentive. Thank you to every person that had anything to do with our night. You guys made everything seamless and provided impeccable service. I love you all for what you have done for us. A million thank yous would not be enough. ❤️

and bridal assistant Alexis were there the second we needed them for anything and made sure we were having the best time. The food was so good. Literally everyone is still talking about the delicious food and how the quality of the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding. The culture had to be my favorite thing. The way all the vendors worked together was so amazing. It was like they were all family and they were all there to celebrate us while having fun in the process. It felt like they were having an amazing time while also keeping it extremely professional. If you can’t make up your mind or your detailed oriented like me. Stop looking for a venue and go meet with Nick. You won’t regret it.

ad table a little different then normal and they went out of the way to make it happen, exactly as I asked!! Family and friends kept calling us the day after to let us know that the food was great and they had an awesome time. Thank you Nick and staff! We couldn’t have done it without you!

mily and I felt that they would do anything for us to make our vision real. Fast forward with planning a wedding through the pandemic I was confident we would be able to have a wedding on our original date in May 2021. Once reception halls were open back up Nick and I were in constant communication discussing our options on how to make this the wedding of our dreams. Any silly call or email was taken and gotten back to quickly. The day of our wedding when we arrived to Villa Barone Hilltop Manor, Nick introduced to our maître d’ Steve and my bridal attendant Rachel and they were AMAZING, as well as Nick himself checking to make sure we were okay. Tending to our every needs big or small. The night went so smooth, and we had guests raving for weeks now. This will not be the last time the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor sees us, we will be happy to return here for future events!

d and I were supposed to get married in May 2020. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding twice. It was a very stressful, uncertain time. Everyone at VBHM was extremely patient, understanding, and always willing to help, even if it meant me calling to vent or ask questions that no one had answers to at the time. We finally had our wedding on April 30, 2021 and it was the better than we imagined. Our guests are still raving about the food, cocktail hour, being offered seconds at dinner time, etc. The owners have been in the business for a very long time and it shows by the quality of service and the attentiveness by the staff. Our maitre d, Steve, and bridal attendant, Rachel, were phenomenal. I wish we could do it again!

ure we were comfortable and were certainly not pushy whatsoever. They offered us so much and gave us the perfect wedding I could ask for. My husband and I were not very happy with our Maitre D, he was very, very pushy and seemed to not really care about much other than finishing the wedding to set up for the next one which made us feel rushed. Not to mention all of our things were taken from the Bridal Suite before our wedding was over and thrown in a closet without us even knowing and I had to walk through the other event coming in, in my wedding gown to go retrieve my things. After the wedding and after we got back from our honeymoon (which we left for early the next morning), we went through all our belongings we got back from Villa Barone. Just about everything was carelessly thrown back in the boxes we gave them in, my glass decor was thrown in the boxes, not even wrapped, out of the boxes they all came in on top of not even getting some of those boxes back. The bag that my white cloak was in that I used for photos had blood stains on it. The cake cutter and server we used to literally just cut our cake, which was a gift to us by a great friend, was completely scratched and obviously not taken care of - it looks as if they were thrown or rubbed up against something in the kitchen. The glass dome pictured below, which I made, was not returned to us at all, it's still missing. One of my themed characters was broken because it was just thrown back in an open box with other things on top of it and not the box it was given to them in - its head is hanging on by the smallest bit of plastic, and can be turned almost all the way around, it was never like that and I have a video of that as well. We have photos of everything. We contacted Villa Barone once, twice, three times. One time being told by john he would get back to us, another time being told by Vinny he has to speak to John and other times people saying they will relay the message which probably didnt happen and we still have heard nothing from them. This is just a very disappointing experience. We paid for a beautiful wedding which we got, but our property should have been handled with the same care as they handle their venue.

d to ask for a thing, she knew exactly what I would need before I could even think of it. Everyone there helped make my vision of what our wedding reception would be, a reality. The food was incredible! I HIGHLY recommend the Venetian hour; it is unlike anything I have ever seen. At first we were a little unsure about having it, but Johnny said it's an experience and we won't regret it and he was right. All our guests were raving about the Venetian hour; it truly is an experience unlike anything we have ever seen. We can't wait for any one of our friends to get married and have their reception at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor so we can experience a wedding there again.

as an absolute fairytale. 320 people and they didn’t bat an eye at timeliness or catering to everyone individually. Gianni, Nicky, and Vinny are exemplary humans who will go above and beyond to give you an unforgettable event. Steve and Bravo bring the magic to life as your maitre’d’s. The entire process was reassuring instead of stressful, compassionate instead of based on business. I would choose VBHM all over again, every single time.

ve and amazing through out the entire wedding planning and night of. I can not say enough amazing things about Villa Barone. The food was also absolutely amazing. We received numerous comments about how incredible the cocktail hour was. If you are looking for an amazing staff that makes you feel like family from the day you book your wedding to the night of, this is it!

it an easy and fun process. The night of our wedding everything was perfect. Vinny made sure everything we had visioned came to life, it felt like he did not leave our side the entire night, even though he was all over making sure everything was running smoothly. My bridal attendant was incredible and made sure I had everything I needed and could want. The food is absolutely incredible! Your guests will not leave hungry as the amount of food at cocktail hour is enough to fill everyone up, and then comes dinner! All of our guests are still raving about the food over a month later. The venue itself is gorgeous and the outdoor space makes you feel like you’re in the Italian countryside. Everything about the venue is PERFECT and we left just as we entered, feeling like family.

how much I adored and appreciated the staff throughout the whole process. Vinny, Steve, and Lauren are absolute wedding experts, and attended to every question and need we had with smiles on their faces. The food was delicious, and I’m sure no one went home hungry (there’s enough offered in cocktail hour alone to feed everyone, but then it keeps going!) We even had leftovers to enjoy the day after the wedding! There is no reason to look anywhere else. You will not be disappointed!

re absolutely amazing the night of our wedding. They were so attentive and helped guide us through the night. Everything ran smoothly and our guests raved about the food, kind staff and overall atmosphere. When our shuttle left without us at the end of the night, we were welcomed by the staff to stay and wait an extra 45 minutes until another shuttle came back for us. Thank you so much for helping to create a night to remember!

ple but more like family, we knew this was the venue for us. Our wedding was perfect thanks to the incredible staff who made sure everything was what we wanted and more. A special thank you to Nick, Vinny, Stephen and my bridal attendant for the night, Alexis who was so attentive and did not leave my side during transitioning and posing for pictures. They made sure we had everything we wanted all night. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. All of our guests are raving about what a great time they had, delicious food and wonderful staff. Let alone how beautiful this venue is. I could go on and on...thank you for making mine and Rick’s wedding more than we could have dreamed of. Love, Mr. & Mrs. Richard Juan

came time for the actual wedding day Nick and his staff were beyond amazing from the minute our car pulled up to the venue . The bridal attendant was waiting to take my bouquet and hold my dress for me (which was a lot of dress) and ready to give my groom and I whatever we wanted . Our cocktail room looked like the reception room it was that gorgeous (people at our wedding actually thought it was the same room) and the food during this time was one you could not get anywhere. I’m a true Italian which means I may know a thing or two about food so believe me when I say The amount of choices our guest had was unbelievable and the taste was out of this world (something you need to try in person!) The reception room we had was the upstairs one which they remodeled and it left our guest speechless ( exactly what I wanted ). Our maitre d was there constantly for us refilling our drinks, our food and just overall making sure it ran smoothly. If there was an issue we didn’t know about it because they were that good in taking care of it. I know you don’t know me from adam but trust me when I say If you want a wedding that your guest will talk about for years to come Villa baron hilltopmanor is the place to book it. Thank you to Nick and his entire staff for making our wedding the one to beat and for making our night sooo special !

big day. They treated us like family and made us feel comfortable and at ease. They didn't have to sell us on the venue, the venue speaks for itself- marble floors, grand ballrooms, elegant chandeliers, beautiful waterfalls, delicious food, and more. We met Stephen at our menu tasting. He introduced himself as our maitre d and said he would be there for our every need on the day of the wedding. He wasn't kidding!!! I can't say enough good things about Stephen. He was incredible. He was always nearby and made every effort to make sure the day was exactly the vision we described to him. I'll never forget standing by the dance floor with a perplexed look as I was searching for my mom. He caught my eye from across the dance floor and mouthed "Are you ok? Do you need anything?" He was incredible and really felt like a friend by the end of the day. We were so thankful for his kindness and still don't understand how he attended to us so gracefully while also simultaneously working the room. He really brought our vision to life with such an upbeat attitude and thoughtfulness we'll never forget. Lauren was our bridal attendant and she was extraordinary!!! We met her when we went to drop off menus, cake topper, and other wedding supplies at the venue prior to the big day. She was so kind, sweet, professional and really made me feel comfortable right off the bat. I don't know what we would have done without her that day. She had a way of predicting what we would want/need before we even asked for it. I remember getting off the party bus into the venue. She greeted me from the entrance and told me she'd be taking us up to the bridal suite. I asked if she could bring my mom there and she said "Don't worry Ally. I already brought her there." She was absolutely incredible even helping me get my shoes off and bustling the train of my dress. I had nerves at times about being in a large crowd and she calmed my nerves with a humor and positivity I could only have dreamed of. The venue when we arrived was pristine, stunning, elegant, exactly the vision I had requested. Everything was just how I wanted it and the service was out of this world. My friends and family are still raving that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. Other compliments were the staff was kind and the food was the best they have ever had! Every guest was raving about the food. I have friends saying they want to get married here for the meatballs at the cocktail hour alone!!! The Viennese Extravaganza had everyone up on their feet. No one could believe the spread and the room went crazy for it. I was truly blown away by every little detail of this wedding. Villa Barone Hilltop Manor is absolutely beautiful and immaculate inside and out. I couldn't be more grateful for how special they made our day for us. I highly recommend this venue!!!!

us! Great customer service from everyone here! My bridal assistant Lauren was the absolute sweetest woman on earth and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The waiters and staff laid on everyone hand and foot and the food was outstanding. Thank you to everyone at Villa Barone for a great experience! Will definitely recommend to all friends and family for any event!

e that our event was seamless and BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend Villa Barone Hilltop Manor for the following reasons: aesthetically pleasing, cleanliness, EXCELLENT food, theatrical interludes such as our champagne toast and our Viennese hour, EFFICIENCY and professional and caring staff. It was just simply BREATHTAKING! The bridal attendant, so sorry I can’t remember her name but she was AMAZING, of all the staff members she’s the most unforgettable. For a nervous bride planning a wedding on her own for the very first time they helped me to execute a true FAIRYTALE WEDDING. To this day people are still talking about our fairytale wedding. You won’t have any regrets by going with VILLA BARONE HILLTOP MANOR. Special thanks to Vinny, Nick and Gianni. You guys have a truly amazing staff and venue.

ding at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor. It was amazing, spectacular, incredible, over the top, jaw dropping (literally) and more than we could ever even dream of. Nicky, Johnny, Vinny, Stephen, Lauren and the whole Villa staff went above and beyond for us on our special day. They made us feel so relaxed (which is not easy to do to a bride) about the reception. Everything was taken care of without us even having to blink an eye or ask for something to be done or worry about anything- they were just simply amazing. The food..?? Well- guests did not leave hungry, that’s for sure. Cocktail hour was packed with food to satisfy everyone’s tastes and more. The food was unreal. We even had people ask if that was it- meaning they were full and didn’t expect a dinner afterwards too. Dinner was out of this world. Between the eggplant tower, pasta course, and main entrees- you couldn’t go wrong with whatever you ordered. Viennese Hour was to die for. There was something there for everyone! The selection was incredible and it tasted amazing too. The presentation was spectacular. Everyone was so happy with the food. If you’re looking for a stress free experience, amazing staff, incredible food, and a unforgettable wedding- Villa Barone Hilltop Manor is your venue! <3 The Sinapi’s

nts were phenomenal. Lauren showed us around the grounds the day before to see where we would take our pictures & she was exceptional. The sweetest women ever! And I can’t forget Rachel, she was the attendant I had the night of our wedding . She was absolutely tremendous. Everywhere I turned she was right there. Holding my train, my veil, my flowers, giving me water. She is an absolutely. amazing person. Our whole wedding night was exactly what we expected and more. Nicky did exactly what he promised and he delivered us the best service. The Villa Barone quickly just became family in my book & anyone that is planning a wedding, this will be the FIRST AND ONLY venue, I will recommend to them. And I say ONLY because all they will have to do is meet Nicky. Once they meet Nicky they will understand why we stopped looking at venues & chose this one.

ry step of the way. Anything we needed he had it. Lauren was the nicest person. She was by my side every second of the day. Anything we needed or wanted we got. I couldn't have asked for a better places with better people. the staff, food, venue was magical. If you need a venue stop here, you won't find anything better.

. And the staff goes above and beyond. Everyone we worked with and interacted with was incredible. It was a perfect experience.

making us feel very at ease about the planning process. We come from from very traditional families and they completely understood our cultures and customs. All of our food was beyond delicious and the amount of food was insane! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was and how much of it there was. They also baked our cake which was another thing we didn't have to worry about and the cake came out delicious! Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the owners, Steve and Lauren who attended to us all night long. They even sent us home with a ton of food and dessert that we definitely enjoyed once we got home. We highly recommend the venue to anyone planning their wedding or any event!

ything will be great. It was beyond great, it was absolutely AMAZING. I had over 300 guests and I heard all that night, the next day at breakfast and am still getting messages on how great the wedding was. (Some the best they have been to). Every aspect was flawless, the decorations, the food, the service, the homey feeling. I literally was not worried about a thing the whole night. Our guests were full and happy. Lauren was my bridal attendant and she was GREAT! From the beginning, helping me with any questions I had and the day of the wedding she went above and beyond and always with a smile!! Steven was our Maitre D and he was nonstop making sure the night went smoothly. He did an AMAZING job!! I'm not really sure how but as much as he was running around he was still making sure everything was okay with us. When I asked for something there was no hesitation from anybody. All the vendors they recommended we used and it was the same with all of them, nothing out of place and if so they figured it out quick. You do so much planning and there is a lot of time and effort that goes into having a wedding and I truly feel like every single person who works at the Villa Barone genuinely cares and that is what makes them so wonderful. All the staff was great and accommodating! Vinny and Nick helped us so much throughout the whole process and never without smiles! They make you feel like you are part of the family and it shows. Prior to our wedding I only been to this venue once and since we got married there I have a feeling we will be there more :) Easy to talk to, eager to please, welcomes you with open arms, reliable, caring, genuine and truly the nicest family & workers I have met <3 It was the best night of our lives and I would trust and recommend Villa Barone Hilltop Manor to everybody! Love them!!!!!! Thank you for everything!!<3 Ashley & John R.

re night, i felt like a true princess thanks to them. I had a disney themed wedding and everyone made sure that all my dreams came true. Every day since the wedding i wish i could rewind time and re live the day over and over. Looking for as many reasons as i possibly can to go back there, not only did they help me plan the wedding of my dreams, but they put so much time and pride and thought into everything, Im italian, so family is a big thing to me and towards the end i wanted to start calling Vinny, uncle vinny, they treated my husband and I like family. They showed nothing but class and respect. They suggested THE BEST VENDORS! i am so happy i went with everyone they suggested. i could honestly go on forever on how amazing they were, thank you Villa Barone for making all my dreams come true. You all made my day perfect, and you started mine and andrews life together perfect! It is a night we will never, EVER forget!

ent we walked through the doors. We were treated like a part of the family from each and every person that works there. Anytime I called with a question or concern, they were right there lending a helping hand. But that was only the beginning. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect, in fact it was Magical! The lakefront was amazing. They even allowed us to take our engagement pictures there last year. We did our first glance at the Lake Front. They provided a cooler filled with waters and Beers for our entire bridal party. The property is absolutely breathtaking, we can't wait to see how amazing our pictures came out. As soon as we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by Lauren my bridal attendant and our Maitre D' Steven. They brought us up to our bridal sweet and made sure we weren't missing anything. Lauren was amazing, she made sure I was calm all night long, and that my dress looked flawless and amazing. Steven made sure everything went as planned. He even made sure our parents and bridal party had everything they needed. They were both simply amazing. I have never been catered to like that in my life. I felt like a princess that entire time, and I owe that to Lauren. VBHM is the one and only place to have your wedding. The food is delicious and amazing, the entire staff is there every step of the way, the environment is welcoming and warm. The entire place is overall simply amazing. To Vinny, Nicky and the entire staff at the VBHM we can't begin to thank you all enough. There are no words that can express how grateful Yan and I truly are. Our guests are still raving about how amazing our wedding was. Everyone keeps telling us this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we owe that to you guys. Thank you for such an amazing wedding! xoxo

s wonderful to us and our families. We cannot say enough wonderful things about them and cannot thank them enough for such a perfect day

ir child come true...Villa Barone exceeded those dreams tenfold. The food, service and ambiance were spectacular. Almost every guest has called/texted declaring it was the best wedding they have ever attended...and we have the owners and staff of Villa Barone to thank for those compliments. Our photographer was so impressed he stated, of the hundreds of weddings he worked, he has never dealt with a staff so friendly and professional. The cocktail hour was beyond incredible and the seafood display truly amazing. Five star reviews are not adequate. I always said the best wedding I ever went to was my own...it took 39 years, to the day, to attend one better. My husband and I are eternally grateful that wedding was our daughter's. We walked into the venue last year as strangers and left Saturday feeling like family..for that is the way we were treated. Don’t waste your time visiting other venues, you will find none better than Villa Barone Hilltop Manor.

yond. As a bride you have high expections for your wedding, the second you walked through those double doors every expectation is met and more. They make you feel like family and take care of you as you were one of them. It’s hard to find great food at a wedding venue, Espcially coming from a restaurant owning family but when I sat down and ate I felt as my grandmother was back in the kitchen making everything from scratch.

that came up, they tackled so spectacularly, I didn't even have a chance to worry about it. Everyone of our guests was blown away and we're still getting calls about how much they enjoyed it. I cannot recommend them enough! We also highly recommend the Viennese table! It was AMAZING.

the park. I cant even explain how amazing the night was! the food was incredible and the service was exceptional!! This venue was the first and last venue we saw. We felt right at home everyone was so kind! I'm from queens so it was a little out of the way for my guests and none of my guests ever went to Villa Barone HillTop manor, after the wedding there was absolutely no complaints about the distance. Everything was so perfect that it doesnt even seem real! I will forever book all my upcoming events in this location ! Thank you Villa Barone Hilltop Manor staff you made my dream come true!

way. They made suggestions for the big day we never would have thought of on our own. They worked with our vendors to make sure everything would run as smoothly as possible and were accommodating in every possible way. On the day of the wedding Steve and Marissa made sure every little detail was taken care of. They guided us through the whirlwind that was our wedding day so we wouldn't miss a thing. We can't recommend this venue enough. You won't find a higher quality of service, food, and decor anywhere. Thank you to the whole Hilltop Manor staff! On a day that flies by in the blink of an eye you managed to make every minute memorable and relaxing.

e :)
