About this vendor
In addition to our classical stone gazebo perfect for an elegant outdoor ceremony, Villa Cesare boasts three elegant event spaces, all with flexible configurations to accommodate various audience sizes. Our largest rooms, the Venezia and the Roma, can host up to 400 seated guests in each space, or open up to one large room for up to 800 guests. These larger rooms are ideal for wedding receptions, concerts, large corporate events, seminars and workshops. For groups of 100 or less, the Palermo room is the perfect size to host more intimate events such as small wedding receptions, baby showers, birthday parties, meetings, reunions and luncheons.

helpful and accommodating to our needs. We had one minor lapse in communication, but they were willing to accommodate & work with us on the issue. So the bride got what she wanted for her day. Overall it was a great experience & I would definitely recommend this venue to future clients.

Everything here was perfect, we simply couldn't stay away. We had our wedding shower in the smaller room, our bridal suite to get ready the day of in the smaller room, the ceremony...
in the back gazebo, and the wedding reception in the Roma room. All of the pricing was incredibly fair and great for our budget as well as the staff from Erica, who helped us plan our big day, to the bartenders, and the servers. All of our guests were extremely pleased here and so were we! Not to mention the great food! Seriously, look no further than here for any wedding needs!
My wedding was beautiful and for the most Part went without a hitch. however I had 9 guests contact me the day after the wedding all with stomach issues (including myself) , and mo...
st said they stopped eating their food because after a few bites noticed their food wasn't fully cooked.. When I went in the following Monday to get my decorations, I told one of the ladies there. She then proceeded to go ballistic on me. Stating that's unacceptable, that it would never be her food, and then continued to blame me!! She said I gave my guests heat stroke by making them sit outside in the heat for 20 minutes and that's why they had stomach issues.. But ..some of the guests that complained about stomach issues didn't even go to the ceremony. So yea. I would've given 5 stars but since I was so disrespected i gave a 2. I will never step foot in there again.
The wait staff was not very friendly but that was my only complaint with the entire process. Kim and Andy were both great and the food was Amazing! Kim was very accommodating and...
helped alot.
We had our wedding May 18, 2013. Villa Cesare may not have the most up to date venue, but they are very good for the price. The base pricing for family style dinner and open bar ...
starts at 38.50 but after we had our add-on's like seat covers and 8 at each table instead of 10 it was more like 41.00 a plate. The food was wonderful, many comments were made by guest. We had the tender pot roast, roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, polish sauerkraut (people who live in the area will know its good because the hall gets it from Micsh's in Calumet City), fried chicken, Salad, and Chicken and dumpling soup. We tried to take some pictures outside with the pretty pond and sunset, but the mosquitos were terrible (wish they would spray). The Restrooms look like they are from an 80's high school movie (pink and very outdated). Really would have liked a bridal suite, they let my wedding party and I use a janitorial closet to store my bridal bag in. However, the Foyer of the Hall and outdoor gazebo made for some very beautiful pictures. There also was a very large delay between the salad and the main course. It ultimately delayed the dancing portion (we had to also remind the hall to turn down the lights and take the cake away). But despite those few things, our guests were very happy. I think guest really just remember the food when they judge the venue anyway. That was important to me. Too often I have gone to weddings and yeah they have a nice bathroom but the food is terrible. This is not the case for Villa Cesare. You get delicious wedding food for a good price (the catering is done by Popalano's in Lansing).
Everything was wonderful and my guest had a fantastic time and the food was wonderful. I did learn they have let go of their caterer of 23 years to go in another direction and my w...
edding there would be one of his last. If you are looking at the villa for he food it may not be what you are expecting in the future.
They were very accommodating. I called with questions many times, and they were always willing to answer them. They let me come in and decorate and worked with me to make the room ...
exactly as I wanted it.
My husband and I picked this hall because we heard the food was great and the scenery was beautiful. Well, friends were right, the food was amazing! And, the scenery where we got...
married (in the back under the gazebo) was beautiful. However, the manager(s) at the hall were VERY rude. After we booked and I sent out our invitations, she calls us and tells us that she booked another ceremony at 5:30, when ours was scheduled for 5!! Now, there is only 1 gazebo and 1 area to take pictures. I wanted to take pictures outside and not be rushed during our ceremony. And, I also didn't want to intrude on the other couples ceremony, that's not fair to them either. So, I went in the next day with my mother in law to just ask some questions of how they planned for it to work. Well, I barely got any answers. But, the next day I get a phone call from the manager, Kim (who was not there the day I came in) and she spoke to me like I was a child. She said that she should NOT have been BOTHERED at home with something as silly as that! She just told me that, "Everything will be fine, I already told you that. I have been doing this for 25 years." She was SO RUDE! It made me feel like I can't have any questions or concerns. I am paying GOOD money for your services, you should be able to answer my questions. I truly believe it's not the manager or the hall itself that keeps people coming, but it's the chef, Jack, that keeps Villa going! He is an excellent chef and took very good care of us on our wedding night. He was polite and worked with us! We went there for a mother's day brunch and he came and introduced himself to us and showed great enthusiasm for our upcoming wedding! I was very happy with the night of the wedding. And, the wedding night did turn out wonderfully. It turned out the other couple got married inside instead, so we didn't intrude on them and vice versa. I just wanted both of us couples to have a memorable experience.
I loved everything about Villa Cesare. The staff makes you feel like part of their family from day one. The food is absolutely incredible! My room looked better than I had even dr...
eamed it up to be. The price was unbeatable, and the service that evening was wonderful! Everyone was so nice and wanting to help in every way they could. I highly recommend them!
