Villa Venezia

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

This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! We are so happy we were able to have our wedding here. The staff knew what they were doing, they were all friendly and well organized. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you to not only a beautiful venue but a staff that keep the whole day running smoothly. Absolutely amazing and super thankful for our beautiful special day!!!

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!

I highly recommend that place if you want to have fun and celebrate you, your friends, your family and all your beloved ones. Service is Beyond excellent , Coordinations, settings,Decorations, especially the food is so good. The whole staff are above everything especially the owner himself and his daughter amazing . His daughter is a sweetheart and a very helpful lady. My wedding planner ( Rachael) made my wedding perfect in a month as I was rushing . She definitely knows what she’s doing and she didn’t forget a tiny detail . She was such a great help to me. The police is very clean and following all the COVID-19 precautions. Customer service is amazing . Villa Venezia made my day unforgettable and my guests Extremely, happy . It’s a very successful place to celebrate any type of occasion thank you

I attended a wedding on Saturday 12/26 and it was absolutely STUNNING! You would never guess the wedding was planned in a months time!! All the staff at Villa were professional, friendly, & safe (COVID times). It was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever attended. Rachael is absolutely incredible & I wish I had her for my wedding. Thank you to everyone at Villa for an amazing time!!!

Grateful for the Villa Venezia We had the perfect fall day! We can not thank the staff enough for helping us have the "best day ever." Rachael made us feel like we were family, so easy to talk to and any question/issue we had she took care of it. She made sure everything went as smooth as possible on our day. And on the evening of our wedding, she was constantly there if we needed anything and visible the whole night making sure everyone, not just us were Ok. Our guests can't stop talking about how beautiful the venue is, one said the place was "immaculate", another said "hats off to the chef the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding" . Thank you for giving us and our guests a day we will never forget it!

I can’t begin to put into words how amazing everyone at Villa Venezia is. I worked with both Margherita and Rachael and I can’t say how nice and helpful they were! They helped plan our dream wedding and worked with us through everything that’s going on now. Such a beautiful venue and such an amazing staff to work with! I really can’t say enough good things about them.

A huge thank you to Margherita, Franco and the Villa Venezia staff for all of their hard work. From the beginning Margherita was amazing with communicating and helping us with ideas. She is very patient and kind. Its been almost 4 months since our wedding and were still getting calls and texts on how amazing the day was from the food, drinks and decor. Thank you again to Villa Venezia for hosting our magical day.

I have attended a few events at Villa Venezia over the last few years and I have always had a good time. I finally had the pleasure of using them for our daughters christening. Margherita and Rachel are beyond fantastic event coordinators, they are super easy to work with and made sure our day was perfect! Rachel even handled taking care of all our vendors really making the day so effortless. In the past I was part of a bridal party there and had a huge mishap with my dress Margherita didn’t even flinch and instantly pulled out a sewing kit and her and Sabrina sewed me into my dress!!! If they can do that for just a bridemaid you can only imagine the attentiveness they have for their brides! The food is fantastic, our cocktail hour was awesome. Aside from being and absolute gorgeous venue, the entire staff were professional and courteous. Villa Venezia by far exceeded our expectations and truly helped made it a wonderful day celebrating our baby girl with friends and family!

Where to start- Absolutely impeccable on everything, we could not have asked for better!! Our guests are still talking about it!! could not have had it at a better venue, Villa Venezia went Above and Beyond of what we could have ever asked for! We have been in the area for over 25 years and have been to almost every venue in the area and not one matches up to this, the food was Amazing and the service was impeccable!! I could go on and on!! But I must say our coordinator Margarita was Amazing we could not have done this without her, she was organized, attentive and added so many Great ideas to make it Xtra Special !! We could not have made a better decision than to have it at Villa Venezia, we are forever Thankful ❤️ -Theresa & Frank

Couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Margherita made us feel so welcomed and understood every detail we wanted and more since day one. The service is outstanding and very professional. All our guest left happy and amazed at the quality of service. The food and drinks were amazing. Would choose this venue over and over again if I could! Thank you so much Margherita and the Villa Venezia team for making our day so special.

A top notch venue. All my quests raved about the food, service & venue. As the bride I could not be happier with the venue. The service is impeccable from the beginning planning stage all the way through the last detail of the event. Ours hosts Margarita & Rachel was attentive to our every need and made sure our day was perfect and indeed it was.

Villa Venezia is THE BEST OF THE BEST, 5 STAR, top of its class, ballroom and event venue! THE VENUE: The first thing that hits you with awe when you enter the property is the beautiful water fountain positioned in front of the building! As you walk through the front door into the grand foyer, you can't help but notice the stunning architecture and decor! Not only does this property boast a beautiful white, marble floor, grand ballroom with custom uplighting and 2 beautiful marble bars, Villa Venezia also has a stunning, custom lit, extravagant chandelier ballroom with a marble grand stair case and marble bar! The chandelier ballroom flaunts scenic views of the Villa grounds, with seasonal landscaping, block patio, floral gardens, a water fountain with a tasteful white bridge, and the most amazing willow tree. SERVICE: Margherita and her staff are simply amazing. They are organized, courteous, attentive, and execute any event to perfection! Our wedding guests were floored by their attention to detail and service! Margherita's leadership and her staff's commitment to excellence truly made for a flawlessly executed wedding reception! THE FOOD! OMG! THE FOOD! The chefs prepared a feast for our wedding, including action stations, hot chaffing dishes, cold salads and crudites, passed hors d'oeuvres, and the most spectacular dinner options starting with salads, a lemon sorbet intermezzo, and table-side ordered entree's which included chateaubriand, grouper, chicken almafi, and vegetarian penne primavera! By evening's end, no one had the slightest of room in their tummies for cake! OUR RECOMMENDATION: If you're considering an event venue in the Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen, or Hudson Valley Area, my wife and I highly recommend this extraordinary venue. We had searched the Hudson Valley, Northeast PA, Connecticut, Southern Tier NY, and North Jersey areas far and wide. Villa Venezia and their staff were the only one's that met our standards and expectations. Thank you Villa Venezia for making our wedding day and reception a day for all to remember.

This venue is amazing and their crystal room is absolutely breathtaking! With this venue you get so much for the price and the food is out of this world! My guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing their dinners were. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

Our wedding was Friday 12/7/18 and my husband and I, along with all of our guests cannot stop talking about how flawless the night truly was. Villa Venezia is not only gorgeous beyond words, the staff is perfect. Madison, our events coordinator had been nothing short of helpful and caring throughout the entire process. Throughout the day, she made sure everything was perfect, even sewed the best mans button back onto his tux! She truly made us feel like we mattered. She has the most kind and genuine soul and it made the entire night and planning process feel so personal. I couldn’t imagine starting the rest of our lives together at a more amazing place. My heart is exploding with how wonderful it all truly was. I wish we could do it all again at Villa every weekend! Our deepest gratitude towards the whole staff, it was the best night of our lives together so far.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Villa Venezia was a dream come true! The decor, the location, the staff, the garden, the ceremony, the reception, THE CHANDELIER! - we can keep going! We just recently celebrated our wedding on November 3rd and we still can’t stop talking about it. Madison was the BEST! Since the day we met her she was nothing but the sweetest, most helpful, sincere person we have met! She played a huge role into making our wedding day come true! We were aiming for an outdoor ceremony in their beautiful garden but because of high winds and rain the morning of, we brought it indoors which turned out gorgeous and intimate. Cocktail hour was delicious as expected with so much to eat. Madison and the whole Villa Venezia staff was awesome and so catering and we thank them all! If you are even thinking about having your wedding or need a beautiful space for an event go check out Villa Venezia first, then you’ll know what we are talking about! Cat & Dan

The Villa Venezia was So AMAZING.. They treated my husband and I like family they accommodated with us and worked with us so much.. I was never stressed about anything going on at my venue.. Margarita our Maître d’ was So loving, caring, very positive her vibes were outstanding.. She was apart of my family by the end of our journey. On top of that the venue is breathtaking everything is elegant, fresh and new.. Our Guest was Blown away when with the venue and the food. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING from the staff to the food and the decor of the place itself.. I love the Villa Venezia would def recommend to anyone!!!😍😍😍😍💞💞💞☺️☺️☺️☺️

We just had our wedding here on October 14 2018. This place was better than I could ever imagine. The place was beautiful and the grounds were amazing. I would recommend this place every day and twice on Sunday . Madison the event planner and maître was so good I still feel as though I didn't tip her enough.

I got married here on September 21, 2018 Madison was our wedding coordinator and WOW she was out of this world! I didn't feel any stress of planning a wedding! she did basically everything! She even gave me recommendations for all of the vendors to make it really easy and smooth for me! We had a food tasting before our wedding to make sure we had food we knew we would enjoy and honestly the food from Villa Venezia is out of this world! If you come from an Italian family you will appreciate the food here (; Madison and Margherita also made sure my bridal party had all the cocktail hour food in the bridal suite for us in case we missed out on the food 😍This venue is extremely clean and breathtaking! I am very sad that the wedding is over and will find any excuse just to go back here and eat! I haven't found any other venue in the TRI STATE area that came even close to the beauty and elegance of this venue <3 If you are looking for a venue for any occasion and want it as stress free as possible and affordable as well this is your place!!! I can't thank you enough Madison for being the BEST wedding coordinator!

Villa Venezia provided us with the most spectacular wedding day exceeding our expectations! We held our ceremony as well as our reception at the Stunning venue . Our day was flawless thanks to Madison Gomeo who went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was fulfilled to perfection! She was beside us every step of the way from the moment we chose our date up until to our wedding day. I was hopeful in having an outdoor ceremony under the willow tree so Madison made sure we had a plan A, B & C in case of poor weather. Thank goodness she prepared because rain was not in the forecast so our florist went ahead decorating the gorgeous willow tree with hanging orchids, crystals and butterflies. It was a stunning backdrop. Rose petals were sprinkled down the asile and Madison had everything set and ready to go when an hour before the ceremony the skies opened up and down came the rain. We had to move the ceremony last minute inside the staff worked so quickly and efficiently with the change of plans. I was so disappointed that all my florals were already set up outdoors so Madison had the team sweep up as many petals as possible and cut down the tree's florals and quickly made me a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony . It was all last minute due to the weather but Madison was determined to make sure we had the BEST DAY EVER and she was absolutely successful! Our ceremony was so special, my entrance was down the grand staircase and was just perfect. I thought I would be disappointed but I was overjoyed with how it all came together. The cocktail hour was amazing and our reception was simply the best! Our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue, phenomenal food , amazing service and extravagant Venetian hour! I would recommend the Villa Venezia and Madison Gomeo to anyone looking to have a unforgettable wedding!

What an incredible wedding! We cannot thank the staff of Villa Venezia enough for making it the perfect day. We got married this past June and everything was incredible. Our guests thought the food was amazing and the venue was beautiful. We got married outside the venue and it was picture perfect :) I'd like to specially shout out Madison - she was nothing short of spectacular to work with! So quick to answer all of my questions. It felt like I was chatting with a friend rather than planning a wedding! Highly recommend!

I was engaged for a year and had to change my venue and replan my wedding in just 6 short months. Villa Venezia had my date (6/23/18) available and after my visit and meeting with Madison I felt like everything truly happens for a reason. My wedding day was more beautiful than I ever could of imagined. First of all the ballroom at Villa Venezia cannot even be compared to any other of the venues in the area. It is absolutely breathtaking. We lucked out and the rain held off and we were able to have a beautiful ceremony outside. My guests to this day continue to point out the excellent service received from the staff at Villa Venezia. The food is incredible - and there’s a whole lot of it! Everyone was so accommodating. Madison- literally made all my dreams come true- my day was flawless! Villa Venezia Drew and I cannot thank you enough- your hardwork didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for making our wedding day our best day ever!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Villa Venezia and the staff! Margherita, the event coordinator, made the process very smooth from the beginning stages of planning. She was always available to answer questions or guide us in decisions. All of our guests raved about the food, service, and beauty of the venue. We are so happy that we celebrated our marriage at Villa Venezia and would highly recommend it to others!

My husband and I got married at this venue on 5/18/18. Where to begin? Start to finish, our day was perfect. Margherita, our coordinator, was with us every step of the way to help plan our perfect wedding. From the moment I met her, I was comfortable choosing Villa Venezia because she made me feel so confident that she knew exactly what she was doing! She also worked with us to cut corners where we could to stay within our budget. On the day of, she was with us reminding us to eat & stay hydrated, without being overbearing. She was easily available by phone or email any time I had a question (which was often!) And, she went out of her way and even made one of the decorations on our sweet heart table herself!! Everything on the day of ran SO smoothly, without any unexpected speed bumps! Our ceremony began 5:30 on the dot, as planned. Guests raved about the cocktail hour and the food, many told me it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to. I highly recommend Villa Venezia, without reservation, to any couple searching for their perfect venue! Thank you, Margherita, and the staff at Villa Venezia, for making our dreams come true!

My husband and I recently were married at Villa Venezia on May 26th, 2018. When planning our wedding from North Carolina, we traveled to New York (since that is where my husband and I are from) and fell in LOVE with Villa Venezia! It was not only the venue, which is absolutely GORGEOUS, but Margherita is one of the sweetest and most genuine people we've ever met! On our first visit, her and I just clicked. She saw my vision for how I wanted our big day to look and BOY did she and the staff at Villa Venezia deliver! The food was to die for, the ceremony space and reception space were so beautiful and I am very happy that we decided to use the chandeler room as our dance floor, the separation of the dining room and dancing room was a huge hit! We have been told by multiple people that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to have it! We had been in correspondence through email for almost all of the planning process but when I was in town, I tried to stop by to go over more details, taste the OUTSTANDING food which would be served, and a month out, plan the last details of linen colors, uplighting, and when to drop off decorations the week of the wedding. Margherita was amazing and went above and beyond, even calling Cest La Vie (which is owned by Villa Venezia) to schedule massages for my mother and I a few days before the wedding! She was such a pleasure to work with and was there to help with any questions/concerns I had. I highly recommend Villa Venezia and their staff for your wedding!

With the stresses of planning the biggest event in your life Madison and the staff at Villa Venezia were a god send. Taking the stress right off of our shoulders no job was too big or too small for the staff to handle. The venue is the perfect amount of glam and elegance. The food, our guests are STILL raving about months after the event. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, the Villa Venezia is the TOTAL package! The service is stellar, so take it from us after visiting the over 50 catering halls in the Hudson Valley area this is by far the ONLY catering hall to have your special day!

We recently just had our wedding at the Villa and it was the most incredible day. Madison, the event coordinator, was always willing to help every step of the way and go above and beyond to make it perfect for us. She continued to calm our nerves throughout the wedding planning process and made sure to answer all my last minute bridal questions. Believe me I had a laundry list of things to be done and she made sure everything was set up exactly how we asked it to be done. I assure you that you will not be disappointed when you book here. Every single guest that we spoke to told us that the food was amazing and it was! The food was prepared with the most amazing spread having everything you could ask for and everything was delicious. We highly recommend the lamb & duck! The staff was incredibly attentive and I couldn't have asked for better day. Franco and his team are wonderful and paid attention to all the little details that we had asked for. There were so many people on staff to make sure that my husband and I were attended to and everything went off without even a minor glitch. It truly was the best day of our lives. We would highly recommend the Villa Venezia to ALL!!

Words cannot describe how amazing Villa Venezia and their staff are!! My husband and I instantly fell in love with the venue the moment we walked in!! Not only is the building itself gorgeous, but so is the outdoor garden where we had our ceremony. The food is absolutely wonderful, definitely not the typical "wedding food." The best part of all was the AMAZING staff. I cannot thank Madison enough!! She took care of everything during the planning process as well as the day of! Madison went above and beyond, and put all of our stresses at ease. She understood my vision for the day and absolutely nailed it! This place cannot be anymore perfect, I highly recommend!!

Our wedding was september 8th and it was nothing short of amazing! I mean where do I start- everything was perfect! My husband used to deliver to the venue and he told me I had to come check it out. Once I walked in I knew that this is where we are getting married- babe I'm canceling all the other showings. And the decision was made:) Margherita was great; very attentive and honest, she was a pleasure to work with- Madison was also great, at the rehearsal getting everyone together and making it so easy. The day of our wedding was beautiful- the grounds were so pretty- initially I wanted to have the ceremony under the willow tree but so happy we decided to do it on the concrete section they have.....The food was - OH MY GOSH - delicious! Everyone still talks about it! If you are on the fence on where to celebrate your big day with your friends and family; the Villa Venezia is the place to do it! You can literally have any kind of decor you want and this venue will still be incredible. So a huge thank you to Margherita and the staff for making our day so perfect, beautiful and special! Love P. & J.

My husband and I got married in August 2017 and knew right when we got engaged that we wanted our wedding at the Villa Venezia. Their staff is so professional and made our day truly magically. Margherita and Madison helped us with every aspect of our wedding. They made the process smooth and flawless for us. We were so happy with how wonderful our wedding was thanks to the Villa V. team. A very special recognition to Margherita as well who went above and beyond for me. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend the Villa Venezia, you will not be disappointed. Our wedding is one for the fairy tale books.

From the moment I walked through those doors I looked at my fiance and said this is it. The venue is BREATH TAKING, I just had to have it. Margherita is a gift from GOD. She made the whole planning process so easy. Her opinions were great and there is simply not one negative thing I could say. Day of the wedding was a dream. My guest were at awe on how accommodating the servers were and how freaking amazing the food taste. Almost all of my guest came up to me and said this was the best wedding they have ever been to. They made my day!

We had our wedding at Villa Venezia in July 2017. I don't think there are enough compliments I can give to this venue for anyone to understand how Absolutely incredible and perfect it was for our wedding. The grounds inside and out are absolutely stunning and gorgeous for photography. Even though our ceremony was at our church the majority of our pictures were taken at Villa Venezia. Margherita was soooo helpful and understanding throughout the entire process. From the moment we met her we knew she would be so easy to work with and was very down to earth, which helped make the planning process that much less stressful and enjoyable. She really catered to us our day of by even helping make sure she prepared plates for us to make sure we ate at cocktail hour and dinner which was so helpful since there is only so much time in the day to do everything and socialize with guests. The tasting was out of this world and the food was absolutely incredible, prior to our wedding people who had been were raving about the food. The cocktail hour had so many stations and choices for everyone (and setup and presentation was AWESOME) and buffet style dinner was also perfect with a large variety and super delicious. Also they recommended the bakery we used Pastry Garden which everyone raved about the cake as well, and cakes from there and a few other bakeries were included in the package which was fantastic. Honestly I am sooooo happy we chose to have our wedding at Villa Venezia and so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to with the venue, food, and DJ we chose. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VILLA VENEZIA !!!

I'm not even sure where to begin. My husband and I got married here at Villa on July 22, 2017. The day was nothing short of amazing! We had booked our date back in 2015, but with the constant contact with Margherita I never had a doubt or worry in the back of my mind. We have had so many compliments about of venue from our guest. Ranging from the beautiful layout of the ceremony space, to amazing food at Cocktail hour, and who could forget about the beyond perfect service during the reception. All my girls and I got ready at Villa and when we arrived there that morning everything was fully in order and champagne was in hand. I don't think I could even begin to thank Margherita and her staff for all the attention to detail they gave to make our day 100% perfect. After we had gotten home the following day that one thing that my husband and I kept saying is that we hope one of our friends or relatives gets married there now just so we can be a guest!

Highly highly recommended!!! Madison was our Event Planner & she was awesome. She was always available to answer any questions we had & assisted us with ideas when needed. She was there every step of the way from the first tour of the venue, to the food tasting, the rehearsal, the entire day/night of the wedding, & even the day after so we could pick up what was left behind the night before. We can't thank her enough for all her effort & taking care of us on our big day. The venue is beyond words as well as their food. They provided so much food & everyone loved it. They are very accommodating & we'd do it all again at the same place!!

Simply Amazing!!! We cannot say enough positive things about this place. The food was delicious, the venue is beautiful, and the staff were incredible. Margheritta was an absolutely pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted. The wedding guest all raved about how amazing the food was and how elegant the venue is. My husband and I cannot say thank you enough to the amazing staff at the Villa Venezia!!!

Our wedding was a dream come true and it was made possible by the amazing staff at Villa Venezia. Before looking for venues, my husband and I stressed on how we were going to keep on budget. After we visited a couple of places, my father actually stumbled upon Villa Venezia. Afterward, we went to see it and fell in love. Franco and Margherita listened to our concerns about being on budget and were supportive the entire way. They were never pushy or forced us into things we didn't like or need. Now that the financial part is out of the way, let's talk about the venue itself. It is breathtaking and stunning. It does not look like the typical venue and its not. The decor is beautiful. And the food... Oh my word. Guests are still talking about their meals and our cocktail hour. It was an amazing night and I still think back at how lucky we were to find this place. I highly recommend Villa Venezia.

My husband and I got married at the Villa Venezia on June 10, 2017 and choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made. I found their listing on the Knot on a whim after the previous venues we had visited were a total bust. I fell in love with this venue after looking at the pictures on their website. When my husband and I went for a visit we didn’t even get through the doors and knew this was the place where we were going to get married. We worked with Madison throughout the whole planning process and I can’t say enough good things about how caring, professional, attentive, and overall fantastic she was. On the day of the wedding I can’t even begin to explain how fantastic Franco, Madison, and the entire staff were. When I first walked in to get ready before the ceremony, everything was set up and I was blown off my feet. The whole place was absolutely breathtaking and looked so much more beautiful than I could have ever imaged. All of the food during our cocktail hour and dinners were mouth watering. We had around 250 guests and every single one has continued to rave about how fantastic the food was and how there was no way anyone should have left hungry. We added pizza as a to-go station for the guests as they were leaving for the night and that was just the icing on the cake. Our guests were floored at how fantastic the Villa Venezia was with how beautiful each room was, from the bathrooms to the bridal suites, and how great the service was. I honestly cannot say enough good things about how phenomenal this place is and how beautiful our night was. I could not have asked for a more perfect day and everyone at the venue went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. They have our utmost respect and I would highly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work and thank you for making our wedding day a day that we will always remember! - Christopher & Jaclene Poley

We had my sister's bridal shower at Villa Venezia this past weekend and it was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. From the first moment we walked into the place we fell in love with it. For one it is absolutely gorgeous. The room was breathtaking. Madison was our event coordinator. She was amazing from the first time we even spoke. When we had our initial meeting with her we just loved her. She was so sweet, professional and so accommodating. The shower couldn't have been any more beautiful. The food was excellent and the service was phenomenal. Madison and the staff at Villa Venezia truly made my sister's bridal shower absolutely everything we hoped for. Thank you for making her day so special.

I would like to give a huge shout out to Villa Venezia venue and their staff. I loved this place so much. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true. Everyone had great things to say about the staff .How the staff make them feel welcome and very pleasant with the services. How the cocktail hour was full of delicious food and drinks. Food was delicious. Yes it was. If I had to do my wedding again , I will definitely would be here in Villa Venezia. Thank you to the owner and his assistants for taking care of every detail , having patient and making sure everything was in order. Thanks a million for everything on my wedding day. Great staff, great food, perfect venue. Love it. From, Mr. and Mrs. Powell, May 20, 2017

This place is BEAUTIFUL. I didn't even know it was 10 mins from my home. I went to see it reluctantly and FELL IN LOVE. It's amazing, staff is great. They really work to make sure you have a great event. My wedding is in a few months but I am very happy with the care I've received.

Our wedding at the Villa Venezia on September 3, 2016 was absolutely magical and exceeded every expectation that we both had. From our initial meeting we knew this was the place where we wanted to exchange our vows and celebrate with all our friends and family. When you take one step inside the Villa Venezia you will understand how beautiful and breathtaking this place truly is. The decor on the inside and outside creates a beautiful ambiance for a wedding day. The white floors and elegant chandeliers create a very peaceful and romantic feel. We got married outside and could not have dreamed of a more beautiful day. A lot of our pictures were taken outside also and the well manicured lawn and giant willow tree make for the perfect back drop. Margherita was our “go to girl” from the very beginning. She was always there to answer any questions, provide recommendations to us throughout our planning process, and calm any nerves about decisions. She recommended a lot of our vendors to us and we were not disappointed in any of the choices we made. Madison was also SUPER helpful and patient with all our questions and concerns. These two ladies make a great team! The food at this venue is the absolute best in the Hudson Valley. Our guests are still talking three months later about how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We have been to quite a few weddings at other venues in the area and they don’t even come close in taste compared to the Villa Venezia. The cocktail hour was one of a kind. One of the best parts about choosing this venue is that they make you feel connected, welcomed, and one of a kind on your special day. All the team members at this venue went out of their way to help out and ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. From the moment you arrive til you leave the staff members will take care of you and your guests. We didn’t have to worry about anything the day of our wedding. We would absolutely recommend the Villa Venezia to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding day. We promise you will not be disappointed. A huge thank you to Franco, Margherita, Madison, and all the other staff at the Villa Venezia, xoxo Danielle and John Ingrassia

From the first day we walked in, I fell completely in love with this venue. The venue is exactly what I was looking for. It has a breathtaking chandelier and beautiful white floors. The venue has an upscale modern look to it. When we met with Margherita, she made us feel like family. The staff was emensly professional, personalable, and adapted to our needs. Margherita and Madison made sure we had the best time and were very attentive. The food was amazing, and I just can't say enough about how stunning the venue is! We got married on 10-22-16 which turned out to be a rainy and very cold day. They were able to make the ceremony indoors on short notice and it turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I truly felt like a princess walking down the isle. Food was the most important to us, and this place did not disappoint! Even weeks after the wedding we have friends and family telling us not just how much food there was, but how Good it was. Everyone had an amazing time! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!!

My sister had her wedding at Villa Venezia and it was phenomenal! With a bridal party full of wedding vendors, we all had high expectations for a wedding and the Villa Venezia exceeded all of them! Us, groomsmen were able to come in and get ready before photos. We were greeted with a friendly staff upon walking and who were just as excited as we were! Having their ceremony under the willow tree made it truly memorable! The event coordinators were with us every step of the day. We utilized the larger ballroom and having the dance floor in the center of the ballroom made it impossible for guests to stay seated. The food was amazing! They were able to make a vegan dish for my sister and all the other choices were amazing. I had the sliced chateaubriand which practically melted in your mouth! Nobody left that wedding hungry, but if they did, there was fresh baked cookies and coffee for take out. It was the perfect end to the night. Villa Venezia knows how to throw an amazing wedding!

My cousin had her wedding at Villa Venezia last month and it was beautiful! If I could get married all over again, I would do it here. The venue itself was beautiful. From the all white dance floor to the many chandeliers that coat the ceilings. It can make any occasion feel glamorous. The staff was very attentive and made us feel like family. While doing photos outside, the staff brought out food so none of us missed out on cocktail hour. Margherita made sure our family was happy. She was so wonderful from lining us up for the ceremony to packing up our signs and candles at the end of the night. For any engaged couples, I fully recommend having your wedding at Villa Venezia! I can't wait til another family member or friend gets engaged, I would love to be a guest here again!!

Let us premise our review by saying that we have a vast insight into many venues around the area because of our professions in the wedding industry. When the time came, it was an immediate no brainer where we would host our own special day, Villa Venezia! We will try our best to keep this short even though we could write an endless amount singing the praises of Franco Fidanza and his staff… There are a few key elements that set this venue in its own lane: their food, the interior of the building, the grounds, their impeccable attention to detail, the family like bond between the management and staff and the professionalism and high quality service that was extended to our guests. Did we mention the food?! It’s been two weeks and we still have guests begging us to just have a simple back yard party as long as Villa Venezia can cater it!! We personally eat wedding dinners almost every weekend of wedding season and we’ve never come across a spread that is as abundant or as high quality as Franco’s. The cocktail hour alone could have sufficed for the entire night! We had a few dietary restrictions and the chef, Mike made certain to go above and beyond our expectations making sure every single thing that was sent out of his kitchen was perfection. If someone told us that a wedding venue could be crisp, clean, and modern - yet homey and welcoming, we wouldn’t believe them until we walked into Villa Venezia. It is elegant and timeless. With the rooms they have to offer, there are so many choices on what you could do with that space no matter what you envision on your wedding day. Same with the grounds! You can have your ceremony on site either on their brand new stone patio or under their romantic Willow Tree. Everything is so well manicured and no matter what time of year it is they always have different flowers bloomed! You’re minutes from huge hotels and the local major highways yet you feel tucked away in your own private world. Now Madison… She is the best – now let us repeat – THE BEST Maitre D’ imaginable. She is so sweet, courteous, and just lovely. Her attention to every detail was amazing to say the least. With our experience, you can imagine how neurotic we were with the planning process. Madison never missed a beat. Even though it’s a big plus that they only have one wedding going on per day, she made it feel like we were the only wedding that entire year. Everything was centered around us and what we envisioned for our fairy tale wedding. No matter how many times we emailed, she would respond within hours and would be so eager to help us. No other venue offers the same intimate interactions we experienced at Villa Venezia. The day of our wedding literally EVERYTHING was perfect.. every single detail. If anything happened to go wrong that day, we couldn’t even tell you because we didn’t notice and we knew that the staff had it covered. To Franco, Madison, and each and every staff member: Thank you for making our dreams come true!!! And thank you so much for treating our family and friends like guests in your own home. Xoxo Mr. & Mrs. Bernstein

My wedding day was perfect! Margherita was an absolute joy to work with. She made me feel like family and that made it easy to put complete trust in her. Margherita and her staff went above and beyond all my expectations. Months later and guests are still telling me that my wedding was the best they have ever been to. Thank you Villa Venezia !!!

Villa Venezia was the perfect venue for our daughter's Sweet 16. Everything from the food, attention, and great service from everyone from the wait staff, cooks, bartender, Margherita, Madison and Franco and everyone behind the scenes, were so pleasant and friendly. We fell in love with the chandelier room from the moment we saw it!! We are so glad we chose it because everyone can't stop talking about how beautiful Villa Venezia is! We can't wait to plan our next celebration in the gorgeous chandelier room.

My daughter had her sweet 16 party at Villa Venezia on September 10, 2016 and I must say it was absolutely beautiful. The venue is gorgeous and the food is delicious. Marguerite and Madison helped us take care of every detail. The whole staff was very professional and accommodating to all the guests. I would highly recommend this place for your future events. I want to thank the whole staff of Villa Venezia for helping to make my daughters sweet 16 a wonderful experience.

This review is waaaaaay over due! Our wedding ceremony and reception were held at the BEAUTIFUL Villa Venezia on April 29th, 2016. Everything about this venue is AMAZING!!! The aesthetics, the food, and most importantly the quality of service!! There is no venue that compares, trust me i had two years to research! The owner Franco takes pride in his business and it shows! He worked with our budget, our vision, and even was present along with Margherita on the day of our wedding to make sure we had everything the way we wanted! Where else do you get that?! If you are reading this review, your search should stop here! Villa Venezia is truly one of kind! My husband and I are so happy and grateful to have had such an amazing wedding experience! We will be back there again in our future for sure!

A step further, my wife and I are both 30 years old, dating for 10 years. :) FRANCO, Margerita and the entire Villa Venezia staff- THANK YOU - especially from us, as well as every single one of our guests.

It is difficult to find a way to begin this because every piece of our wedding was perfect! We owe it all to the Villa Venezia. From the first day we walked in and met with Margherita we knew we were in the right place. Her and Franco took care of everything we asked and much more. Despite being one of the most beautiful venues we have seen the food was beyond restaurant quality. The entire staff worked throughout the night to make sure our guests wanted for nothing. We have not stopped hearing praises from our guests. If you are considering any event the Villa Venezia should be at the top of your list!!!

Oh my Goodness! Where do I begin? Mavis: 8/15/15 My fiancé and I had a number of venues to visit and Villa Venezia was #2 on our list. We met with Sher Singh, who was amazing during the interview; everything was explained and presented in detail. We were sold; that was it for us; no more venue search! Our Wedding at The Villa Venezia, was truly one of a kind. As one guest exclaimed, it was beautiful, classy and elegant! We had an onsite wedding on August 15, 2015, and four months later, our friends and family are still ranting and raving about the quality of service and the delectable food. We are from the Caribbean, and the staff allowed us to bring the alcoholic beverages we needed to serve our guests, and to create our signature drink. We had the best team of professionals to work with, ever! They were instrumental in helping us execute the wedding day we dreamt of. My friends couldn't believe how calm and stress free I was during the entire planning process and on my wedding day. Thank you Villa Venezia for a job well done! Martina and Alex were phenomenal; Martina was at my side throughout the event and catered to our every need. You and the entire staff truly exceeded our expectations! We are very pleased with our experience at Villa Venezia. Again, a heartfelt "thank You!"

I just had my wedding at Villa Venezia on 4.2.16. Not only was the venue amazing, but the staff and the food was too! I have gone to weddings where you have a wonderful venue but the food and service stinks. NOT IN THIS CASE! The staff was very attentive to my needs throughout planning my wedding, up to the big day. They were quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had, and the service on my wedding day was great! If there were any problems, I had no clue about it BRIDES THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!!! There professionalism is the best I have experienced. We had an onsite wedding, and it made me speechless it was so beautiful! I can't say enough about this place. My family and friends are still talking about the food, service, and what a beautiful wedding it was. Thank you Villa Venezia for making my wedding day a dream come true!

There are two words that describe the perfect wedding reception in the Hudson Valley...VILLA VENEZIA! When our daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie Petruccio & Christopher Del Bene, were searching for a place to have their wedding reception nothing was “just right” until we came upon Villa Venezia. Upon entering the grounds we saw an Italianate villa, impressive and not overly ornate with a well landscaped parking area and fountain setting an elegant tone. The black and white tiled floor, tasteful drapery and crisp white walls, accented with a colorful floral arrangement and a staircase that led to a walkway surrounding the open lobby space were only hints of what was to come. The cocktail area was warm and relaxing and opened to a side patio . Glass-paned doors opened to the main dining room, a jewel-like space with subtly colored walls and a shining, tile floor that reflected the light from the tall windows. The table linens, and chairs complimented the space. Ample bar locations would provide quick service for guests. We were shown what was to be a formal garden, suitable for photographs and additional outdoor gathering and told that more construction was being planned on the main building which would be finished by our event to provide even more space for guests. Menu options were discussed, a typical “day of” event schedule was described and costs were offered upon our inquiry. No pressure, no hard sell only undivided attention during this visit. Villa Venezia would be their choice. Fast forward one year and Villa Venezia is complete, inside and out. We return to see a space even more impressive than before. A dazzling, second ballroom/cocktail area featuring a soaring ceiling from which hangs a large, sparkling chandelier is accessed through a draped archway from the main space. A dramatic staircase leads down from upstairs spaces devoted to the bride and groom. The room is lined with floor to ceiling windows which look out on the, now complete, formal garden and large patio space. In a word…Wow! Finally, the day comes and after a beautiful church ceremony, we arrive at Villa Venezia! Champagne awaits guests who arrive, my wife and I are immediately greeted by Margherita and Alex. The bride and groom arrive and the cocktail hour begins. Margherita arranged for a tent to cover the outdoor side patio which serves as a wine and champagne bar - beautiful! The food, plentiful and delicious, as we were told by guests again and again and the bars had signature drinks at the ready as well as requested beer. Guests entered the main dining space and were invited into the ballroom to see the bride and groom make their entrance down the staircase! The evening continued flawlessly. Dinner, every selection delicious, personal attention to the bride and groom as well as the parents…we were often asked if there was anything we needed or wanted. Music, dancing, dessert service - everything was as promised and more. The staff at Villa Venezia - Margherita, who saw to the details and planning, made sure that we received everything we asked for, Alex and Martina who saw to anything anyone needed or wanted - was perfect! Franco, the owner, made sure this was the memorable occasion it should be for Stephanie and Chris. We cannot thank everyone enough for making this a special day for Stephanie and Christopher Del Bene. What a great way to begin their life together! - Mr.& Mrs. Steven Petruccio

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Villa Venezia. Our same sex ceremony and reception there was perfect from the start of the planning process to the time we left at the end of the night. The venue is modern and beautiful with it’s white glass surrounding, breathtaking lighting fixtures, and up-lighting which can be set to almost any color for an unforgettable ambiance. The new addition to the building is bright and just as amazing as the rest of the venue space. The most impressive and appreciated thing about this venue was the service and treatment by Villa Venezia’s owner and staff. During the planning process we had so many questions and ideas about our wedding day. Franco and his staff answered our questions and did everything possible to make our day special. They were so flexible and so easy to work with! The day of our wedding at Villa Venezia went off without a hitch. When we saw the ceremony, cocktail, and reception areas we were overwhelmed with how awesome everything looked. We tried to think of every detail and the venue was the main component. The food was never ending and so good! We had so many options to choose from in order to build the perfect menu for both the cocktail hour and reception. Each dish tasted better than the next. Throughout the entire night Franco, Martina, and Alex were asking if there was anything we needed in addition to insuring that our guests were enjoying themselves. Our guests are still texting, emailing, and calling us saying that they have never been to a wedding like ours. The beautiful venue, spectacular service, delicious food, and the owner’s and staff’s flexibility to add all of our personal touches led to the wedding event that we had always dreamed of!! Thank you Villa Venezia for a day that we will always remember!

We were overjoyed with our experience at this venue. The staff were very attentive, in particular Alex and Martina. They made my day spectacular and that's all a bride can ask for. I was truly pleased and my guest were too. The location is perfect. The venue is well-kept and the service was amazing!

The Villa Venezia is an outstanding wedding venue. We had looked at many different venues before we arrived but the Villa was by far an ideal fit for us. From the second we pulled up and saw the fountains and the beautiful architecture of the building we knew we had found the right place. The lobby, cocktail area, and ballroom are simply stunning. I really enjoyed working with Margherita and Martina. Martina was amazing at the tasting and was able to answer any questions we had about the menu. I was also very happy when Margherita joined the team. She was extremely helpful and on point with every detail. She didn't overlook any details and any concern I had she addressed immediately. The food at the Villa and the assortment of food is outstanding. My guests were amazed by the cocktail hour. The main course was just as delicious! Also the setup of the ballroom is great because it allows for all of your guests to see what is going on. The projection screens allowed us to make the wedding our own. The size of the ballroom allowed my guests to dance the night away. The pacing of the night was also wonderful. The duet course was on the table when the guests walked in so they could eat and get right to dancing. The night of the wedding Martina was phenomenal. She was consistently taking care of the bridal party bringing over drinks and food. From the moment we arrived to the end of the night I never had to worry about food or drinks. It was a night that I will never forget. My guests continue to tell me that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The beauty of the place, the quality and quantity of food, the amazing waiters and bartenders, and the quality staff made it a day to remember. Also the grounds outside were beautiful for pictures. Thank you very much Alex, Franco, Martina, and Margherita for making my wedding the best day ever!!!
