    The reception we had at La Villa was fantastic! The space was large enough to hold our party of 190+. The food we were able to choose which was great. The team that handled our room and everything were very professional and helpful. Trust them with knowing their space. The party once it started never stopped and it was a spectacular night all around. We couldn't have done it without La Villa's manager, Christine, and the guys who set things up day-of. Highly recommend them for any function!!

    Everything about this banquet hall is beautiful!!! I had my Bridal Shower here and was very pleased. The food is what is the best here. I have never received so many compliments on food...appetizers-->bruschetta, eggplant parmesan, caprese salad, shrimp cocktails...salad-->a really nice salad with walnuts and a sweet berry sauce; very unique and tasted awesome...pasta-->to die for...and lunch-->steak and lobster with twice baked potato. Nothing here tastes like typical banquet food and they just updated the carpet and walls; very chic and modern. Definitely a beautiful hall. Service is great too. On top of everything and very quick. Definitely would recommend.

    The food is great.. The staff is great... The room is very nice, I had 168 people and still had room to move.. I don't remember the the bakery where they get the cake but wow..It is 47.00 head, and you don't have to worry about people not getting food.. The open bar is in the 47, and the bar tenders did a great job.. The testing of the food is all so in the price, u can bring up to 7 people with you... You won't be sorry going with La Villa....

    I loved LaVilla. The website needs to be updated, but the food is wonderful, the service is great, affordable. My only big issue was our wedding cake was included with our package (was created by an outside vendor), it was not good. I would recommend bringing your own cake.

    La Villa is an excellent venue for a wedding. They work with you on all sides of what you are needing. There is great parking with their 2 lots. The food is excellent and Chris (owner) makes your day so special!

    La villa has great food all my guests young and old all raved over. Gwen was super helpful friendly and accomidating. The staff were all so professional and made sure everything ran smoothly. The staff at la villa are truly the nicest people and there is a reason they have been around so long. Maybe old school but that's why la villa has generations of customers who return.

    Ceremony and reception

    I have been going to La Villa for almost my whole life. I love the food and the staff. They made my husband, my kids, and I feel very special. The bartender even made sure I drank some water between my drinking. He even kicked out wedding crashers!

    We had a ceremony/reception at La Villa that was fantastic! Their space was cozy enough to hold our party of 100. The food was great and served family style and like a buffet, people could have as much as they wanted.

    The rehearsal dinner was amazing, they gave us a small room in the back and decorated it with my wedding colors. I almost cried because I had not planned on it and it exceeded my expectations. They even tossed in free appetizers, which were phenomenal.

    The only two issues I had with La Villa was the day of set up and being able to get a hold of someone when I needed to. La Villa raised the bar in phone tag for me. I felt like anytime I called, they were busy or had to call me back. One time they returned my call at 11 pm, the next day I called when they opened, then again at 2 pm and still didn't get ahold of someone until 4 pm.

    As for set up, we were only allowed one hour to decorate. Hair and make went a lot faster than we thought and my wedding party arrived two hours early to find that nothing had been set up or done. It made our mothers panic, worry and create some hell. I would advise that if your wedding has a unique flare to it, you might want to find another venue that will allow you the proper time to make sure it gets set up properly. We got extremely lucky that 16 people were able to bust their ass in the small window we were given to get the job done.

    After set up I will say the staff that handled our room was very professional and helpful. I trusted them with knowing their space. Once the party started it never stopped and it was a spectacular night all around. We couldn't have done it without La Villa's manager, Christine, and the guys who set things up day-of.

    Extremely disappointed for the amount of money we spent!

    On 6-11-22. The party room floor was not cleaned after the first event. The bottom part of my wedding dress was very dirty. We order Bow Tie pasta with vodka sauce. We got dried bow-tie pasta without the vodka sauce. we paid open the bar till 9 pm They tried to close the bar earlier. And try to charge us what we already had paid for the event.
