The absolute most beautiful venue. From the ceremony outdoors, to the cocktail hour in the chandelier room, to the spacious and newly renovated reception room… this venue is flawless. The hydrangeas in the back were absolutely stunning and were the perfect backdrop for all of our photos. We also loved the white bridge that was such a unique fun spot for photos. We worked with Margherita, as our maître d’, who was spectacular at bringing our vision to life. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in preparation and day of. Casey was her second in command that day and she was on top of everything from start to finish. Two absolute gems. We had a private last dance in the chandelier room that will forever bring tears to my eyes. The food was absolutely exceptional from cocktail hour to starters to mains… all staff at every bar were also incredible. Drinks were fabulous! The absolute best venue. Stunning & perfection from start to finish. Villa Venezia made all of our dreams come true 🩷🩷🩷🩷

We had the most amazing experience at Villa Venezia for our wedding! From the moment we arrived for our tour, we knew it was the perfect place. Sara, the venue coordinator was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully landscaped gardens, elegant interiors, and a breathtaking ceremony space that made our day truly magical. Our guests were equally impressed, with many commenting on the picturesque setting and excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding experience and to ask for Kayla and KC to be their maître D. Those ladies are amazing, attentive, and very helpful.

Villa Venezia is absolutely amazing. My brother got married there 5 years ago and the experience was so perfect I had to go back when it was time for me to get married. Margherita was our event coordinator and is the most available, accommodating, personable, extremely knowledgeable professional who treats her brides and grooms like family. The venue is so elegant and stunning, the food is exceptional - my guests are still raving about the quantity and quality. The staff are organized, friendly and efficient, making the day run seamlessly so that there is zero stress on the wedding day. I always recommend the Villa to anyone planning their wedding!

We got married at Villa a month ago. We worked with Sara from our first tour to our final details and she was the absolute best! She was honest, helpful and reassuring and was so easy to get in contact with (and I had many questions). I'll be honest, I was nervous that the renovations were happening, because we were so in love with how it looked at our tour, but all of the renovations really came out beautiful - however, looking back, we did have a few hiccups on our day due to the renovations. Kayla and Nick were our maitre D's and they really helped the evening to run smoothly. They even brought food up to our bridal suite for cocktail hour so we could just have some time to chill together. Other than that, the food was delicious, and we wouldn't have wanted our special day to be anywhere else!

I got married at Villa almost a week ago and it was the best day of my life. The staff, including my wedding coordinator Sara and my maitre d’ Kayla were accommodating, kind and did everything in their power to make my wedding day special. Sara was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process at Villa. She was absolutely wonderful and put me at ease when I would get nervous over how things were going to go on my big day. My guests were very impressed with the food, space and staff. They could not stop talking about how great the cocktail hour was! Kayla was also so wonderful. She agreed to come into villa earlier in the day so my bridal party could get ready and take pictures. She was constantly checking in on me to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. From start to finish, it was an incredible day. Thank you so much villa for everything!! It seriously was the best day ever!

We had our wedding here in June of 2023 and it was truly incredible. The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly and attentive, and everything went so smoothly. We had our ceremony under the willow tree outside and our reception in the ballroom and they were both set up so beautifully. The venue was stunning inside and out, and they worked so hard to make sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted for our special day. We truly can not say enough about this place! Special thanks to Sara, Nicole, and Nick for making our day so special! (Photos by Karina Mekel Photography)

The venue was stunning. The planning process was completely done by me. Margherita was my event coordinator and that was the biggest disaster. The food served at my reception was not the same food that we chose from our tasting. Our contract included valet parking ( nobody was there to park my guests cars), strawberry champagne toast (no strawberries), my guest book was left in the main lobby and I hardly had anyone sign it. They ran out of soda at my cocktail hour. My mother was seating the guests for the ceremony. My cake was destroyed and burned and that was kept from me until a week after the wedding. For such a beautiful venue, I think we received less than par from the staff. I contacted the owner to share my complaints only to be told that Margherita was a professional and she denied all these mishaps. Brides beware. Looks are very deceiving

Villa Venezia was the perfect wedding venue for my November 5, 2022 wedding! The staff is all extremely professional and made my wedding day perfect! Sara was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my questions. My wedding day was perfect! Guests were able to go outside during cocktail hour and were raving about the food (which is delicious). The cocktail hour is unbelievable, many guests saying it was the best cocktail hour they have ever been to. I highly recommend Villa Venezia to any bride looking for a beautiful elegant wedding venue!

Me and my husband had our wedding on October 15, 2022 . The venue was absolutely gorgeous! The staff was incredible and the food was out of this world. Sara was a joy to work with over the last year and a half. She understood our vision completely and made our dream wedding come to life! I highly recommend this venue for your wedding or any occasion

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this incredible venue! We stumbled upon Villa Venezia on a drive and when we stopped and met Margherita for the first time we could not wait to go back and have our official meeting with her and see the entire venue! We signed our contract at that meeting because no other venue we had looked at compared. If you get to have Margherita as your coordinator than consider yourself lucky because she truly is the best. She is responsive, attentive, personable, understanding and professional. When we had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 Margherita made the process so easy for us and we are so glad Villa Venezia had our date open! She answered all of my questions and concerns leading up to the wedding day and was beyond accommodating to our wants and needs. Margherita and staff truly brought our dream wedding to life, and our families and friends cannot stop talking about how wonderful our day was, how great the staff was, and how delicious the food was! If you asked me to give you one word to describe our wedding day at the Villa I would use the word Dream because it truly was just that. From the outdoor ceremony space by the willow tree, the beautiful waterfalls, the breathtaking chandelier room where we had cocktail hour, to the ball room for the reception, the venue is truly and uniquely beautiful. If we could do it all over again we would it was absolutely perfect! Margherita, thank you will never be enough to express how grateful we are for all of your help in making our day exactly what we dreamed it to be, for being so attentive throughout the entire planning process and the day of and for making us feel like family!

We can't say enough great things about this special venue and the wonderful people who helped bring our magical day to life, but we'll try. My husband and I originally planned to have our wedding at the Barn at Villa Venezia, but ultimately had it at Villa Venezia, and we are so glad we did (even though the Barn is beautiful too!). If you are fortunate enough to have Margherita as your coordinator, consider yourself lucky! She was absolutely amazing: patient, understanding, and responsive throughout the whole process, everything you can hope for and more. Kayla was right by her side and fantastic as well. We had our cocktail hour outside in their gorgeous patio and the reception in the stunning chandelier room. Our guests kept complimenting how great the food was and how beautiful the grounds were, and still do to this day. The staff are professional and the food arrived in a timely manner, cooked to perfection. They all worked together beautifully. Robin (from StartupStaging) also helped create an unforgettable ambiance (so hire her!) The owner Franco is just an amazing person as well - hardworking, kind, and understanding. He has an uncompromising vision for his venues, and made himself available to us to help bring our own vision to reality. He went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% happy with everything, and for that we are incredibly grateful (if you read this, thank you Franco, Margherita, and Kayla from the bottom of our hearts!) We feel so fortunate to have had chosen Villa Venezia as our venue, so don't think twice!!! -Vanessa & Chris

Margherita and her staff made my daughter's wedding day a spectacular experience. Margherita was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly and excited for us from our first meeting even before we had decided on a venue, right up to our daughter's wedding day. Margherita (pronounced like the drink) was always professional. She has a wonderful sense of humor which made us all feel at ease. It is obvious she has a lot of experience taking care of brides and grooms. Margherita bent over backwards to make sure the bride and grooms wishes for their wedding day were just what they dreamed of. It was a rainy day but we were determined to have the ceremony outside with the stunning landscape and beautiful fountains. Her amazing staff changed over the ceremony space three times between rain drops without a grumble or complaint. I am still getting phone calls from our guests raving about the venue, the food and the service. My husband and I can't thank Margherita and her staff enough for making our daughter's dream wedding come true, for being so easy to work with, for taking care of every detail and problem solving with a smile on her face.

I highly recommend Villa Venezia and the staff, especially Rachael! The outdoor setting is absolutely beautiful and perfect for an outdoor ceremony and makes for amazing pictures. We used the small ballroom for our cocktail hour, which is a gorgeous white room with high ceilings and a stunning chandelier. It was amazing and everyone loved the food! The larger ballroom was perfect for our reception and we had a great night celebrating with all of our family and friends! Rachael and the Villa Venezia staff made sure everything was perfect and were there to help through every part of the night! The environment was very welcoming and I don’t have a single complaint!
