From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank Villa Venezia enough for giving Philip and I the wedding of our dreams. There truly are no words that can fully express how grateful we are for the way our wedding day turned out. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we were in the most incredible hands.
The food was absolutely exceptional, the service was flawless, and every detail was executed beautifully. Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing everything was, from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and the incredible service. Villa Venezia went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we had ever dreamed it would be.
But behind all of the beauty and perfection of the day was someone who deserves recognition that words almost cannot capture: Margherita.
From day one, Margherita was by my side. She was there for every question, every little detail, every moment of uncertainty, and every last-minute thought that came with planning a wedding. She never made me feel like I was bothering her or asking too much. No matter what I needed, she was there. She made me feel heard, cared for, and, most importantly, completely taken care of.
On our wedding day, Margherita was the reason everything felt so seamless. She was behind the scenes making sure every detail was exactly where it needed to be, anticipating things before I even knew I needed them, and somehow making everything happen without me ever having to worry. She allowed me to truly be present and enjoy the most important day of our lives instead of stressing over the little things.
But what makes Margherita so incredibly special is that she never felt like just our wedding coordinator. Somewhere along the way, she became like family.
There are people you meet during important moments in your life, and then there are people who become part of the memory itself. Margherita is one of those people. She brought so much warmth, kindness, patience, and genuine love into this experience. I will forever remember looking around on our wedding day and knowing that someone who truly cared about us was making sure everything was perfect.
She is truly the magic behind Villa Venezia.
Philip and I will forever be grateful that Villa Venezia was the place where we began this next chapter of our lives, and we will be even more grateful that Margherita was the person who helped guide us through it. She took what could have been an overwhelming process and made it feel effortless. She made us feel like our wedding wasn't just another event, and she cared about it just as much as we did.
If you are considering Villa Venezia for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book it. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the entire experience are truly exceptional. But if you are lucky enough to have Margherita by your side, you have something even more special. She is the kind of person you hope to meet during one of the most important moments of your life.
Thank you, Villa Venezia, for giving us our dream wedding. And Margherita, thank you for giving us so much more than that. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, your dedication, your heart, and for making us feel like family.
We will never forget what you did for us, and we will forever look back on our wedding day with the biggest smiles knowing that we celebrated the beginning of our marriage in the most beautiful place, surrounded by people who cared so much about making our day perfect.
With all of our love and gratitude,
Gabrielle & Philip

Everything about our wedding at Villa Venezia was absolutely perfect from start to finish! We truly could not have asked for a more beautiful venue or a better experience.
Our coordinator, Margherita, was absolutely incredible. Working with her over the past year was such a pleasure, and she made every step of the planning process feel seamless and stress-free. She was so attentive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it would be.
The food was amazing, and the outdoor scenery made our ceremony truly exceptional. Every inch of Villa Venezia’s renovation is absolutely breathtaking, and the entire venue provided the most beautiful backdrop for our special day.
Our wedding night was truly everything we had hoped for and more. I honestly wish I could relive the night over and over again! From the stunning venue to the incredible service, every detail was perfect.
We cannot thank Villa Venezia and Margherita enough for making our dream wedding come true. We will forever be grateful for the memories we made there and would recommend Villa Venezia to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue! ❤️

From the moment we booked Villa Venezia until the very last song of our wedding night, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The venue itself is absolutely beaut...
iful, but what truly sets Villa Venezia apart is the incredible team behind it.. Every single staff member was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was—every course was delicious, beautifully presented, and served flawlessly.The bartenders were outstanding, keeping the drinks flowing all night with great energy and friendly service.They truly helped create such a fun atmosphere.
The highlight of our experience, however, was working with Margherita. She is simply one of a kind\. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but from day one, she made us feel supported, heard, and completely at ease. She is organized, responsive, knowledgeable, and always one step ahead.No question was ever too small, and no detail was overlooked. She genuinely cares about every couple she works with, and it shows in everything she does.
On our wedding day, everything came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and that’s because of Margherita and the incredible Villa Venezia team.They allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every single moment without worrying about a thing.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers amazing food, exceptional service, an incredible atmosphere, and a planning experience that is truly second to none, look no further than Villa Venezia. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate the best day of our lives.
Thank you, Margherita, and the entire Villa Venezia family, for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. We will recommend you to everyone we know!
Ps - make sure you request Tiffany as your bartender!

envisioned. The gorgeous glass chandeliers perfectly complemented our classic style and created such a beautiful, romantic atmosphere.
The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Sabrina did an incredible job throughout the planning process, making everything feel organized and stress-free. Margherita was an outstanding maître d’ and ensured our wedding day ran flawlessly. Our bartender, Taryn, was fantastic and kept our guests happy all night. Sophia and Henry were wonderful as well, providing exceptional service and making everyone feel so well taken care of.
One of the biggest surprises was how beautifully the venue photographed it was even more stunning in our wedding photos than we imagined. Every corner of Villa Venezia is picture-perfect.
We also truly appreciated how accommodating the venue was with our guest count and how willing they were to work with us throughout the planning process. Their flexibility and professionalism made the entire experience even better.
If you’re looking for a timeless, elegant venue with an incredible staff that truly cares about making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Villa Venezia enough. We are so grateful we chose them for our wedding and would do it all over again!

We had an amazing experience with Villa Venezia for my Daughter's March, 2026 wedding. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
A special thank you to Margherita...
Rotundo, who guided us every step of the way. From our initial tour a year in advance, to tastings, planning, and making sure every detail was perfect. Her communication, organization, and support made the entire process stress-free.
My daughter wanted a Harry Potter themed wedding that still felt elegant and tasteful, not overdone. Villa Venezia helped us achieve that perfectly. The result was magical, sophisticated, and beautiful.
The day of the wedding ran flawlessly. Guests raved about the food, from cocktail hour through dinner, and the service was outstanding. The staff also made sure the bride and groom had time to relax, enjoy their food, and truly take in the moment.
The venue itself is stunning, clean, modern, and perfect for photos, even for a March wedding.
We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Villa Venezia to anyone planning a wedding!

ny setup to the reception flow, every detail felt magical and perfectly orchestrated. But what truly made our day unforgettable was Margharita, our amazing venue coordinator.
Margharita was an absolute rockstar. She went above and beyond every single step of the way — answering countless questions, keeping us on track when we fell behind, and handling every little hiccup before we even knew it existed. On the wedding day, she was everywhere at once: making sure we ate (thank you!), keeping the timeline smooth, wrangling guests with grace and humor, and somehow still managing to check in with us to make sure we were okay.
Our day ran flawlessly, and we know that’s because of her. She truly cared about us and our experience — not just as clients, but as people. We can’t imagine having gone through this process without her.
If you’re lucky enough to get married here, know that you’re not only getting a breathtaking venue, but also the most supportive, dedicated, and kind team — with Margharita leading the charge. We’re forever grateful!

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!

ot 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

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!!!

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 meet...
ing 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!

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!

rgherita 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!

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 be...
autiful 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.

ond 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.

ecently 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!

erything! 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!

ess 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!
