Venuti's Ristorante & Banquets

with everything. We had the best night of our lives! We would highly recommend Venuti's to everyone.

le—so helpful, organized, and on top of every detail. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly, and I can’t thank her enough for all her support and guidance. The food was outstanding—our guests are still raving about it! Every dish was cooked to perfection, and the presentation was beautiful. Compliments to the chef and the entire kitchen staff for delivering such a memorable meal. Venuti’s truly exceeded our expectations and gave us a wedding day we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for amazing service, delicious food, and an unforgettable experience.

booked our wedding in the larger room with the windows and a terrace. This room also includes access to the cocktail room which is awesome to have multiple rooms for guests to have more space to move around. The food is also excellent and large portions- our guests definitely did not go hungry! Our event coordinator was Ciara and she was so easy to work with from start to end! She set up our decorations perfectly for us and made the reception space look absolutely breathtaking! She is not only friendly, but also hardworking and organized. I would not want to work with anyone else. We 100% recommend Venutis to others! You will not regret it ♥️

email promptly and put me at ease through all my questions and worries leading up to the big day. The entire event ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was phenomenal—our guests are still raving about it! With 175 guests, we had plenty of space, and the rooms were set up beautifully. If you’re a bride looking for a stunning venue with top-notch service, I highly recommend Venuti’s!

ce, the decor, the service, the drinks and of course the food, were all incredible! Ruby is a saint! She made every moment of planning with her enjoyable, relaxed, exciting and fun! Her professionalism was confident and comfortable to work with. Her knowledge of the wedding industry as a whole, as well as, Venuti’s services and amenities helped guide us through the planning process with such ease and grace. She made every silly little request that we had happen for us on our night and we are forever grateful to her! The room had the perfect ambiance with the huge gorgeous windows and the ceiling lights dimmed just right. The food was absolutely amazing! The amount of platters that came out for our cocktail hour made sure our guests all got to try each appetizer (if you don’t know what beef Wellington bites are, I suggest you find out!). The soup was the perfect thickness and the salad was divine! Then comes the entrees where our steak/ salmon/ chicken options left us happy and full. Each option was cooked to perfection! Our guests have raved to us about the food, with many planning on coming back for dinner and/or for their own banquet hall events. Frank, the owner, was so personal, warm and kind. He made us feel as though we were part of the Venuti’s family! We look forward to many trips back to this spectacular venue. We could not be happier for choosing Venuti’s as our wedding venue!

rk with and accommodating. Our guests had the best time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! xox

that the food was outstanding, that the venue was stunning, etc. The staff are so attentive and well trained! Our food was steaming when it got to our table! That does not happen at your average wedding. And it was so delicious multiple guests left with leftovers! When is the last time you saw that at a wedding? Ciara, we cannot thank you enough! You made planning an absolute breeze and we had zero stress during our engagement. To the other brides and grooms reading this, go with Venuti's. You will get the best bang for your buck with no run around and an absolutely stunning wedding.

dding with them we have consistently heard only great things about them and the quality of their food and service . We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue is, and also the quality of food. Our guests were raving about how delicious everything was. Venutis even wrapped up our guests leftovers so they could bring them home to enjoy the next day. Ciara Rivera was our coordinator and she was fantastic. She was so sweet and knowledgeable and made everything so easy on us! She did a fantastic job and was truly a pleasure to work with. Everyone on their staff is just wonderful to work with and so professional. I would highly recommend Venutis for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

t our wedding and it’s been 2 months now

d to be moved out of the way. The food is AMAZING! Enough said here. I love food and our guests did not leave hungry. Get the focaccia bread!!! We had the BEST time celebrating and we were in great hands because Venutis really took care of us.

l is absolutely beautiful from the double staircase to the ceremony room, and banquet room. We could not have received better service from the crew with us that night, they kept a close eye on how we were doing, but our guests and vendors as well. The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE and having the option of allowing our guests to order their meal when they sat down was amazing. Love that alcohol and our cake was all included and made a lot of details a lot easier. We would choose Venuti's over and over again and cannot state how much we enjoyed working with this team.

as first-rate. They accommodated our special requests and truly made us feel important. We felt that we had excellent communication with Ciara and we highly recommend Venuti’s as a wedding venue. The detailed notes they took and executed for the day of set up was done perfectly. We plan on going back for anniversary dinners! Thank you, Venuti’s!

f the wedding; our coordinator just had to show up and put everything out into place! On top of being helpful and professional, the food was out of this world. All of our guests raved about both the quality and the quantity of the food provided. The late-night pizza was also AMAZING.

Thank you!

going to be perfect and well taken care of by the team. Everything from the decor to the food/cake and set-up was perfect, all we had to do was literally show up and party! All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Ciara was there every step of the way and answered allllllll of my questions. She is so kind, patient, accommodating and on top of things. I am so happy we chose Venutis for our special day and can't wait to eat at their restaurant!

, the attention to detail is amazing, we didn’t have to get any extra decor because Venuti’s is beautiful to begin with, especially the grand staircase as soon as you walk in-trust me, it’s breathtaking. Next, the food was amazing, our guests would not stop telling us that it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding! There were many options to choose from, from the appetizers all the way to desserts. To put it simply, we love food so this was a huge plus for us! Lastly, the staff were all very kind and celebrated us like they were apart of our guest list. They all knew the exact details, even the small ones, like having our own cocktails and giving us time for one last dance. But the best person on that team is Ciara, she absolutely made our wedding dreams come true, and stopped at nothing to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The biggest thing she did for us was when it came down to our final details, there was a major miscommunication between us and the previous employee in her (Ciara’s) role, something we were not prepared for and we were in a pinch to get it resolved, but Ciara fixed it with no issues, no questions asked, and we are forever grateful for that. She has had to deal with my constant questions, but she always did with a smile and quick response, wedding planning was very stressful for me, but she made it extremely easier, again I am very thankful for that. We will definitely be back at Venuti’s, whether it’s just for dinner or another huge party! We, as well as our guests, love Venuti’s and want to thank them again for an absolutely amazing night!

the anxious bride I was at seemingly all hours of the day. She was flexible with my ideas and also had offered many great ideas of her own that we used. We weren’t sure who would be breaking down some of our DIY decor at the end of the night and she was over accommodating, finding someone on the team to help us. My husband and I said if we did our wedding all over again, we would no doubt choose Venuti’s again. We would recommend pictures by their beautiful entrance staircase and getting the pasta course instead of soup! Our cake was included in our package and was absolutely incredible and beautiful. Oh and there is ice cream included in your dinner course! The only regret from the day is not saying "yes" when our attentive waiters asked if we wanted a refill on our pasta dish! Just everything is 5 stars and would 100% recommend.

as wonderful to work with she made everything super easy for us and the day went off without a hitch. I sincerely suggest taking a look at Venuti's when you are considering venues for your wedding!!

op talking about how good the food was. Highly recommend Venuti's for your wedding.

k with any budget. I had both my bridal shower and wedding reception here and all my guests still talk about the amazing food. Some of the highlights were endless appetizers, a classy martini bar with knowledgable bartenders, and a champagne tower. I am a covid bride, rescheduled both shower and wedding 3 times and I cannot thank Venuti's enough for their patience and understanding during this time. Most importantly I want to thank their associate Ciara for her professionalism and guidance through my whole experience. It was a pleasure to work with her and she made the whole process seamless. I cannot recommend Venuti's enough for any couple wanting the full experience ! https://lauren-ashley.com/italian-influenced-chicago-wedding-at-venutis-banquets/

O much great tasting food and awesome bar package! The main reasons I went with Venuti’s over other places was I loved the beautiful space it offered for a reception, the food was delicious, and the package included a 6 hour open bar, which is really good compared to other places, who usually only offer about 4 hours. Ciara handled the booking and coordinating for our reception and she was AMAZING!! I can’t say enough good things about her! She made the whole booking process so easy and she explained everything so well and answered the million and one questions that I had had. She was so accommodating and willing to work with us, our budget, and guest count. She was the best at helping us deal with the struggles that COVID through into our planning process and completely took the stress away when dealing with the unknowns and uncertainty during the time that was leading up to our big day. I can’t imagine booking our reception with anyone else but Ciara, especially during COVID times. She was so great at getting back to my emails in a timely manner and was always willing to help answer any questions. She was also so flexible when dealing with constant changes I made throughout the planning process. Venuti’s also handled everything we needed as far as setting up of even the little things like guest book, place cards, etc. as well as tear down after the reception was over. It was so nice knowing that we, the bride and groom, were not responsible for those things, since you normally have a million other things to do and worry about. I loved the champagne greeting they offer to your guests as they arrive and the cute cocktail bar that was included during cocktail hour. We were able to customize some of the names of the cocktails which was super cute and fun! Every detail of our reception was absolutely beautiful and the food and drinks were some of the best I have ever had out of all other weddings I’ve been to. Your guests will definitely not leave hungry! I had so many friends and family tell me how our reception was one of the nicest and most elegant weddings they have ever been to! We had so much fun on our big day and wish we could do it all over again! I wouldn’t hesitate to book your wedding here at Venuti’s, you will not be disappointed!

he is was so responsive and she made sure that I was always pleased! She always went out of her way to accommodate any requests I had! Ciara was such a major part in making my wedding run smooth!! Highly recommend!

tly. I loved everything about Venuti’s, my guests could not stop raving about how great the food and service was. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a classic venue. Also you can’t beat the open bar that is open the entire night!

tions. Our first meeting and tour was with Ciara. The second we opened the doors to the breathtaking grand staircase, I personally was sold. It was everything I envisioned and more. Ciara showed us around, luckily to our benefit they had it set up for a wedding so we were able to see what it would look like for us. From the second we signed the contract to the end of the wedding night Ciara, the owners and the entire wait staff went above and beyond. I couldn’t be more grateful how easy she made the process as well as how well she worked with all of my vendors. When we made an appointment for the food tasting, I was blown away. We ended up choosing the preset menu, which worked in our benefit to not have to keep track of who was ordering what. Ruby, made the most adorable menu cards that were identical to our invitations. We went with ordering appetizers, which were just scrumptious. Most places don’t offer nearly as great options. The entrees were incredibly divine. For dessert, we chose tiramisu as well as our wedding cake. Bonus, the wedding cake came with the contract of the venue from The Baking Institue, where Margo made my dream come true. Lastly, to end the night we offered Venuti’s late night snacks to our guests; venuti sliders, pizza and fries. This was such a great option for people to grab a quick snack before departing. Aside from an amazing reception we also had our ceremony in the Vita. This was just perfect for us, quiet, small just beautiful. My absolute favorite part of the evening was our first look. Ciara was able to coordinate my request on the staircase. It was such a magical heartwarming moment I will always remember. The privacy of walking down a grand staircase to your husband for that intimate moment was incredible. This venue was everything I’d dreamed of and then some. To Ciara and the entire staff at Venuti’s, thank you for helping create the perfect day. We will forever cherish the memories made that night. Michele & Sean Karli Xoxo

s we're raving about how delicious their food was. And Karen and the hospitality staff are SO wonderful. They we're so accommodating and wonderful to work with while we planned our wedding! I can't say enough amazing things about this venue!! Everything was a dream here!

for the first time and was floored by the beauty of the ballroom. I attended a second friend's wedding in 2015, which confirmed that the delicious food (which included steaks cooked-to-order for every guest), beautiful decor, friendly staff, and high-class presentation I experienced the first time around were not a one-time exception. Venuti's provided the most elegant atmosphere and one-of-a-kind food service I'd ever experienced at a banquet hall, and I knew after attending those two weddings that one day I'd have my own wedding there. Over time I took for granted the uniqueness of the venue and the quality of the food as I spent many nights dining in the restaurant and weekends having a drink in the V-Lounge while listening to Julian Jumpin Perez. It wasn't until I walked through the ballrooms with my soon-to-be In-Laws from Florida that I again came to appreciate the Venuti team's attention to detail. My wife's family was blown away by the ornateness of the decor and the warmth of the ivory exterior stonework, the elegance of the venetian curtains hanging over the ballroom windows (which make the room open and come alive), and the one-of-a-kind marble staircases at the main entrance which brought them back to their time growing up in southern Italy. They don't have venues like this in Florida, and seeing the look of astonishment in my father-in-law face - a man of few words and fewer compliments - made me re-appreciate how truly magical Venuti's is. Thank you to Frank, Karen, Paula, and everyone else for making our night so special for our family and friends! We'll see you soon for dinner. - Nicholas and Maria

originally planned 2020 wedding was cancelled. The Venuti's team stepped in and saved both our Wedding Day and Rehearsal Dinner. The attention to detail, thoroughness, professionalism and level of fun they brought helped us to be able to take a deep breath and know that this time everything will work out. The venue itself was not only beautiful, but so clean. Truly, the utmost safety and cleanliness measures are in place throughout. The food was out of this world -- we opted for the 'Guest Choice' entrée option including a 12oz Filet Mignon, Chicken Franchese, and Orange Roughy. Guests loved having the ability to choose the entrée day of. We received nothing but compliments on the entire meal though -- you have to get the Ziti with Vodka Sauce too! I can't speak highly enough of our experience and everyone we encountered there. After all the stressors this year brought us, it was amazing to still be able to have the wedding of our dreams thanks to the Venuti's team! Will forever be grateful to you all for helping make our vision a reality! Thank YOU!

spitality, to making you feel like family! You definitely are a priority with them. They truly are amazing! Ciara has been like my best friend with all the planning, I could email her any time of the day and she always reply’s back and is so happy to help. Meeting the found owner of this place made it 10 times better! They definitely know how to treat you. Best thing yet- THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!!! The biggest thing I wanted was good food because everyone Remembers that! And Venuti's food blew my expectations on how good they were! Definitely isn’t regular frozen banquet food. They also had multiple servers at each table to ensure everyone eats at the same time! With my wedding being postpone from August to November, Venuti has been by my side through it off with ensuring me either way I’ll have the wedding of my dreams. I seriously can not thank them enough for all the support the given my fiancé and I! They truly are amazing!!!

re day and we cannot thank her enough for all her help to make it everything we wanted. Their customer service all around was excellent! Our pictures are stunning because of the beautiful staircase and the lighting in our ceremony and reception rooms! Our guests were raving about the food and service! It was the perfect night! Karen and Ruby at Venuti’s are the best and will go above and beyond your expectations! The service, ambiance, and food are second to none! We love you Venuti’s!!!!! ❤️

s ever due to the great staff and venue.

. She is super helpful and the entire staff is extremely buttoned up. Our wedding turned out beautiful and was such a memorable time thanks to their help!

s 5 star, exceptional, and delicious. How they do it I don't know, but to serve 200 people piping hot cooked to perfection food, that's a neat trick. And all our guests said the food some of the best they ever had. Venuti's did an absolutely perfect job for us. I cannot give them a higher recommendation. You should 100% check this place out for your wedding.

e beyond happy about our day and our pics and video were beautiful!! I get happy all over again every time we look at our pictures

Ciara was amazing to work with and made sure everything went according to plan. Food was great as usual- just overall such a great experience! We will definitely use Venuti’s for future events in our family!

e times. Venuti’s offered some great package inclusions like a martini bar, champagne greeting, floating candle centerpieces and a premium open bar. Also, the bar was open during dinner which was great! The food was one of the best parts! All our guests were telling us how delicious the food. They also provided boxes for guests to take home their leftovers. They offered us two free tastings (one before we booked and one after) which was a big PLUS. I 100% recommend!

ing staff. Ciara (the wedding coordinator) is fantastic. She was on top of everything before the wedding, responsive and was patient as I would pepper her with various questions in the year leading up to the wedding. The staff on the night of was wonderful and attentive and the reception room turned out beautifully. We are so happy we decided to go with Venuti's for our wedding reception!

, and both rooms were set up beautifully and smoothly. Our wedding coordinator was Ciara and was amazing help throughout the whole process. Whenever I had questions I was able to email with her and receive an answer in a reasonable amount of time. She was able to meet with us in person on multiple occasions and was very professional and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing! We had our rehearsal dinner in the restaurant and Frank was very helpful and provided a lot of information to any questions. The food, the ambiance, and the people are all amazing here and is the perfect place to have your wedding. If I had to do my wedding over again, I would pick Venuti's again and again.

ytales. She was amazing to say the least. She immediately responded to each of my last minute changes with absolute professionalism, understanding, and readiness to take on the task, as were the staff! I was in awe of my surroundings, as were my guests! The food was amazing and the cake was perfect, both delicious and exceeding all my expectations. I wouldn’t look anywhere else and I’ll be sure to recommend this absolutely phenomenal team to everyone I know! Thank you again for perfecting this experience and ensuring my happiness every step of the way.

omplaints! Ciara, you were amazing throughout the entire planning process and made everything come together perfectly! THANK YOU!!
