From the moment we booked our wedding at this venue, Joe P was an absolute dream to work with. He guided us through every single detail with patience, kindness, and so much knowledge. As a DIY bride, I came with a million questions and specific touches I wanted to bring to life, and Joe never once made me feel like it was too much. He was accommodating in every way possible, right up until the very last minute, and even after the wedding day, helping us with cleanup and pickup of our materials. That kind of support is truly rare, and I’ll forever be grateful for it.
The food tasting was one of the highlights of the planning process. It wasn’t just “come in and try the food.” They created a full mock mini wedding for us, complete with a DJ, décor, and the full experience. It was such a fun, memorable part of our journey and gave us a real feel for what the wedding day would be like. And the food… absolutely phenomenal. Everything was so flavorful and beautifully presented. My guests raved about every bite, and even the kids couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the food and all the choices they had. When the children are excited about wedding food, you know it’s something special!
The staff on the day of our wedding was just as incredible. Everything ran smoothly and perfectly on time. My guests kept commenting on how attentive and kind the servers and bartenders were, and I couldn’t agree more. They were professional, warm, and on point in every single way, which made the entire day flow effortlessly.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Joe and the entire team made our wedding not only unforgettable for us but also for every single guest who attended. If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares about every detail and treats your day as if it were their own, look no further.

Very professional and accommodating venue! We had around a 200 guest list for our wedding and we received overwhelming positive feedback on the food and service of the venue. Nicole was the wedding coordinator we worked with and I cannot sing her praises enough. Not only was she patient with all our questions, but she worked hand and hand with our vendors to ensure a seamless day. I would recommend this venue 1,000x over if you want all your planning condensed down into an easy to manage process. Having food, drink, cake, linen and service all in one place doesn't get easier than this. I could go on for days but as a recent bride, I know these things made my experience stand out.

Our reception was in the garden room which was beautiful. Highly recommend

We simply cannot say enough about the Villa. Nicole and her team were some of the kindest, most knowledgeable individuals we had the pleasure of working with during our engagement....
They were patient, kind, and understanding throughout the planning process and were quick to answer our many questions ahead of our wedding day. When our special day finally arrived, our guests were blown away by the beautiful grounds at the Villa and the selection of food that was served. The Villa offers incredible catering packages that allow couples to truly customize their menu, and the event staff truly do everything they can to match your vision. Our ceremony in the outdoor gardens went perfectly thanks to Nicole and her expertise in making sure that everything runs smoothly. Absolutely would recommend the Villa to anyone who is looking for an all inclusive venue with great food, exceptional service, and stunning backdrops for all of the special photos that are captured on your wedding day.

ke family in the end. He was available for all my questions (and boy were there a lot) and always had time for me. The wedding tasting day was lovely as well since it was a great opportunity to show our families the venue and what an event looked like in it. We used the upstairs room and outdoor terrace for the cocktail hour which was a great space for our 170 guests. The hit of the cocktail hour was the sushi so when my husband and I arrived late and didnt get to taste one, Joe personally brought us over 50 rolls to our sweetheart table during our reception. Our maitre d' was phenomenal and the bridal attendant assured that we were well fed and always with a drink in our hand. I am definitely hoping to use this venue for a smaller event in the future since we had such a wonderful experience using them. The price is right, the food is phenomenal and the venue is gorgeous! Highly recommend!

(This is unheard of for an October wedding in the Hudson Valley.. especially with 6 months until our wedding) Joe was super informative, answered any questions I had promptly. He was also very honest which we appreciated. Not only Joe was great, but everyone you talked to was fantastic. The food was incredible, service was excellent, location was perfect.

We were able to use the back lawn to take beautiful photos as well. I even had a bridal attendant to help me and that made the day go even more smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and all our guests complimented the venue extensively. Would absolutely recommend.

Our entire wedding was help at Villa Borghese. The bridal suite was roomy and beautiful and made for gorgeous getting ready pictures. It was so nice to have a room to hold all of our things and use to freshen up. We had our ceremony outside in the garden which was gorgeous, our cocktail hour was upstairs which gave guests plenty of room inside and outside plus amazing food and drinks that our guests are still raving about, and our reception was in the grand ballroom. It was beautiful with the lighting and dance floor and everything about our wedding was smooth and professional. Our guest cannot stop talking about how our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to and I honestly believe a big part of that is because of where we had it. I would recommend Villa Borghese to anyone. It was the perfect day in every way.

Villa Borghese can accommodate every detail you have in mind. We chose to have both reception and ceremony here, allowing us to enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces. The venue is perfect for your dream wedding photos, outside, up on the terrace or inside by the white marble fire place. I can't imagine having had my wedding anywhere else.

We were very pleased with all aspects of working with this venue and their food was excellent. They offer an affordable winter wedding package for those on a budget and looking for a great deal. Honestly we have zero complaints and nothing but compliments for Villa Borghese.

She also spoke with the chef to ensure there were vegan options at the cocktail hour as well as the reception. She was phenomenal and such a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend the Villa Borghese to celebrate your magical day.

The food was delicious, and we are still hearing about how great everything was - and especially what a wonderful cocktail hour there was! Service was exceptional and the staff handled everything. Everyone was very accommodating to our requests. The bridal suite was beautiful and looked brand new. We wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding reception, and appreciate the attention to detail and effort the Villa Borghese put into our wedding day. They are truly professionals at what they do, and made the reception part of the day as easy as possible for us. Thanks again to everyone at the Villa! We recommend this venue a hundred times over.

Every time we visit, the staff always treated us with kindness and love. Villa Borghese is the perfect place to have your big day celebrations, they are professional, understanding, and amazing, they will help you make your dream wedding come true.

We did have one table at the wedding that had a rude server but all in all they stated they had a great time.

ress free. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the outside pergola was where we originally planned to have our ceremony, but being that we decided to get married in October, on a Friday night, the sun was setting earlier than we had hoped. The day before the wedding I spoke with Paul and told him to use his judgement in terms of the outside ceremony, if it was going to be too dark by 630 then we can have it inside. I didn't know until we arrived right before the ceremony that it was in fact moved indoors and I it was more beautiful inside than I think it would have been out. Our reception room was split to accommodate the ceremony and I don't even think anyone even noticed that we were back in the same room later. The staff did an amazing job and was on top of everything you needed. I would absolutely recommend having your wedding here!

Best way to describe my experience is, absolutely perfect! I have zero complaints for this venue. My wedding was on April 22, and the weather was even great but we had our ceremony...
indoors. The day of the wedding we had some rowdy groomsmen and we are thankful Joe was extremely considerate with dealing with them. Paul was able to sneak in the late guests before I walked down the aisle. Our cocktail hour was in the downstairs room and although we did not attend, we received a ton of food in the bridal suite. All of our guests said the cocktail hour was amazing. The reception was also perfect. Food was timely and delicious, and the attendants kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Even the affiliated vendors (La Delicioza - Bakery & The Marriott - Hotel) were wonderful! Throughout the entire process Joe was extremely accommodating and responsive. DO NOT think twice about booking this venue - just do it! You will not regret it. My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more. The Villa exceeded my expectations!

onfirm what each entails. We had two dishes (that I noticed) that were described one way in their brochure but delivered differently on the actual day - including the added mashed potato bar, which was described to have sweet and white mashed potatoes and fixings, missing the sweet potatoes.

Overall VB was easy to work with and their costs are very reasonable for what you receive. Both my husband and I are Italian American, and having certain foods, large cocktail hour...
, large Venetian hour, etc. was incredibly important to us. There is really not another venue in the area that is going to give you the quantity, quality, and type of food you want if you are looking for that. After the coordinator that we were working with left, we worked directly with Paul, the owner, in the final stages of our planning who was always accommodating and clearly wanted to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. There were some small missteps in service during the day of but Paul managed his team appropriately, and was incredibly apologetic when we sat down at our sweetheart table and discovered that only one of our personal toasting flutes was there. Apparently a staff member had broken one when setting the table and didn't tell anyone. Upon discovery, Paul immediately asked if he could go out and buy one during the reception. We were not 100% sure what to expect as we had not personally attended any events at VB and are used to larger venues in NYC/NJ but decided to go ahead based on their strong reviews. Overall they really did a wonderful job, accommodated everything we asked for, and 6 months later all of our guests are still talking about our reception.

All our guests were very pleased with the atmosphere and the food! Everyone has been raving about the food! I would recommend this place 100%. My husband and I had the best day ever!

ocktail hour AND the dinner. Not only were they absolutely beautiful during they day but they really were amazing at night too. Everything was perfect. I couldn't be happier. My wedding was August 20th, 2016 and I know for a fact that everyone had a great time. If I could do it all over again I would still pick Villa Borghese each and every time!

I always knew that if I got engaged, I would want to get married here. My sister got married at Villa Borghese 6 years ago and everything was so beautiful. It was the same for my J...
uly 8 wedding. The venue was even more beautiful than I remembered with all the updates they did. The food, everyone raved about afterwards! I really couldn't have asked for anything better. We originally planned to get married outside but with the pending rain and heat we decided to move everything inside. It still looked amazing! The people at Villa Borghese were so accommodating. They made sure we got everything we wanted to make our day perfect. Specifically Jennifer who was absolutely amazing at her job! She made the whole "stressful" process not stressful at all. Always communicating and helping in any way possible! She's so down to earth and fun to be around! Also, my waiter Miguel was so awesome that he made sure I had a drink in my hand all night, didn't even have to ask! If anyone is looking for a venue to get married I HIGHLY recommend Villa Borghese. The prices are reasonable, the place is so elegant, the people are incredible, and the food is amazing! It's really hard to find all of that in one anymore!
