Beautiful, Intimate Wedding Reception at Vivo Restaurant
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Vivo Restaurant on October 10, 2026, and we couldn’t be happier with our ex...perience!
We were looking for a venue with an intimate, warm, and almost homey feeling, perfect for fewer than 50 guests. We didn’t want anything too grand or extravagant, but rather a cozy space with a beautiful indoor-outdoor setup where our family and friends could feel comfortable and enjoy the celebration. That’s when I found Vivo Restaurant on The Knot, located in Bayside, Queens.
The location was perfect for us and our guests. It was only about 15 minutes from our church, and having a spacious parking lot was a huge plus in New York City! It saved our guests the stress of having to search for parking.
Our package included everything from hors d’oeuvres and appetizers to the main course, dessert, and an open bar. Kevin, who was in charge of our event, even offered us a food tasting, which exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how good everything tasted!
The staff were attentive and prompt, and we appreciated their initiative in helping with the decorations early that day. Since we had a DIY wedding reception, having a venue that was accommodating and flexible meant so much to us. What we appreciated most was their willingness to work with us and help bring our vision to life.
Overall, Vivo Restaurant gave us the warm, intimate celebration we had hoped for. We are truly grateful for their flexibility, great food, and the care they showed in helping make our special day memorable.
To any couples looking for a cozy, intimate venue with a lovely indoor-outdoor atmosphere away from the usual city hustle and bustle, we highly recommend Vivo Restaurant. It was a wonderful place to celebrate such a special moment in our lives!
