Very lovely venue for wedding. They have a great food selection for cocktail hour & main dinner. I took off 1 star because the main entree didnt come out till 9pm as they had to take orders between 7:45pm & 8:00pm. The meal for the children wasnt mentioned so my granddaughter was ordered an adult meal until Mother of Groom made the servers aware.

Another great family wedding at The Venetian! Everything was perfect and our Server, Alexandra, was very attentive, careful and prompt and clearly demonstrated The Venetians high standard of service. Food was excellent and presentation so unique. Even though there were over 300 guests in attendance we never felt crowded or rushed in the Palazzo Ballroom (which has 786 capacity). The live band was great as were the acoustics. Even the parking lot is spacious and had so many valet attendants to avoid long waits. As a result we had a very memorable experience.

Loved having our wedding reception here! Absolutely beautiful venue. Great food & drinks with lots of options. Thank you so much to Nora for working with us for over 2.5+ years during the planning/postponement/rescheduling process. Thank you to A.B., Barbara, and the rest of the event management team for your help with all of the details. My bridal attendant Agnes was so sweet and always proactively ready to make sure I had anything I requested. Overall, it was wonderful to finally see our dream come true :) Thanks so much again for everything!!

Valet service gave me pause. My vehicle was not parked and was left idling for more than 10 mins. How I found out, had left an item in my vehicle. Gave valet my ticket #, per valet unable to locate my keys.Then I looked to where I was told to park, my vehicle was sitting in location where I last left it.Concern, if I did not retrieve my item from my vehicle, would my vehicle still be at the Venetian?There were no cars needed to be parked when I was out there. Strong concern, vehicle still there?I asked valet when will my vehicle be parked, valet said soon.I stayed to make sure. It took valet several more minutes to decide if valet will park my vehicle. Once valet realised I was not going back inside, valet then went to park my car.

Fron the outside I never imagined how absolutely amazing and huge it would be on the inside. The food was absolutely incredible at the cocktail hour and dinner reception. The Christmas/ holiday decor was beautiful...all of the staircases were adorned as well.

Beautiful venue spot with tons of rooms for different parts of the event, clean bathrooms, and tons of lovely areas outside for taking photos.I attended a beautiful wedding at this venue and I was amazed by the area. There are tons of parking available, both valet and not. Theres also lots of rooms inside. We went from one room of having breakfast and waiting for the ceremony to another room where the actual ceremony was held. Then everyone went to the grand ballroom for the actual reception, which had a door leading to outside that had a waterfall type of sculpture along with nice seats. There was also lots of space on the dance floor!As for the food, everything was amazing. The event that I attended early in the day and so the breakfast served in the morning consisted of delicious pastries. The cocktail hour had a huge assortment of different foods ranging from fried calamari, paella, pastas, raw seafoods and even sushi. The options were endless and the flavors were great. There was a set menu for the reception but every item was delicious as well.Overall, this is a beautiful spot to hold an event. The only con was that the ceremony was in a pretty tight room but that could have been how the hosts wanted it.

Dias with thrones for the bride and groom. Opportunities for photos inside and outdoor waterfalls. Easy to get to using Google Maps.

Beautiful experience at the Presidents Ball for The Liberty Board of Realtors ! Ive been at the Venetian many times and it was always a wonderful experience. Tonight was great! Valet service was great && super quick to pick up the car in the cold weather. The venue is clean & beautiful!! Large plants throughout the venue with beautiful chandeliers through out. Large women’s bathroom with a seating area to refresh ! The waiters & waitresses were quick & professional. Drinks were strong and food was fantastic ! Cocktail hour was wonderful with sushi, lamp chops, chicken veggies & more. Appetizer & salad were wonderful as well. Mozzarella and prosciutto. Green salad was served inside of a large slice of cucumber! Fresh salad with great dressing. Dinner choices were great 2 meats and 1 fish. I chose the steak, asparagus & mashed potato’s as seen in picture ! Thank you for a wonderful night Liberty Board && Venetian!!! You never disappoint !!!!

Good looking venue but as a photographer working here for a wedding client - they are terrible. The wedding client opted out of paying for plated vendor meals which in itself is not cool but (whatever) Ill live. FELIPE, the maitre d for that wedding told the photo+video team and the band that we also couldnt eat cocktail hour food. You know, the food they always have too much of and ends up getting thrown away anyway. 👎👎I hope you got a raise, Felipe.

Review №43

Decent wedding venue for what it is. Down side is that because of its size & capacity, they host more than one event at a time (on most occasions) which caused confusion and lack of customer service.As always, food was decent and people were friendly but, wedding party was what made the event truly special.

This place is spectacular. Some may assume that if it is in Garfield that it may not be a high standard establishment but it is extremely opulent inside. The food was fantastic and the service was great as well. We will definitely return here for future events and you should take a look at this location for various activities!

What a beauty! The building itself is breathtaking. Exquisite place to hold a wedding reception and to have professional photographers take great photos. The ballrooms hold thousands of people, if not even more. My commencement was taken place here and it’s definitely THE place to celebrate. High ceiling with mouth dropping diamond chandeliers. Now that I’m thinking about it, I’ve actually been at the Venetian twice for a special event. The food was delicious and elegant. I must also add great portion of food served. I HIGHLY recommend Venetian! It’s a classy place for any occasion. I absolutely LOVE IT and am hoping to visit Venetian again.

Review №91

Where do we start, from our initial consultation we knew this was the spot, not only because of the beautiful venue, but mainly because we were able to witness the impeccable white glove service The Venetian offers to its clients. We were able to witness the amount of staff they had on hand to setup the cocktail hour and how beautiful the cocktail hour was displayed. This venue has in my opinion the most grand ballroom in the TriState area. The Venetian Palazzo room is immaculate, the pillars leading down corridor to the waiting area of this ballroom sets the tone. The attention to detail in this room is incredible, in my honest opinion there is no flaw. From the marble floor to the high vaulted ceiling you will feel very grand. George and Nora assisted throughout the process of contemplation and helped us with all of our needs prior to reserving the date. Barbara was extremely helpful in reviewing the menu and selecting our cocktail hours, and main dishes. Our bridal attendant is the very best, and that is a understatement, beyond helpful, caring and respectful. Our Maitre D on the other hand was a bit upsetting. At entry he demanded $200 and had very little coordination with us. Both myself and my wife went to the Bridal attendant for all our needs and questions. Aside from our matire’d our wedding reception was an absolute success. Thank you Venetian, George, Nora, and our bridal attendant for all of you attention to our wedding reception.
