This place can be hosted with a number of events of your choice, private party, drama set, you name it, it will happen and be taken care of by the facility. On my first visit, I wasn't expecting it to look so eye appealing, but stepping in sure answered that question. The room is fairly large with plenty of seating and also a balcony with tables along with a bar - pretty cool if you ask me. With it being very crowded, there are two stair wells to move foot traffic along quickly. I like the decorations all around the room, especially the disco balls that were hanging (a big fan of disco, no joke). It's awesome just taking it all in. The room looked very clean for our event, and I highly recommend booking them for any event if your choice. *Parking is provided on the street and also a parking area just east of this building. Also, the Dramatic Hall is located on the 3rd level via elevator or stairs.*

I'm reviewing this venue exclusively as my experience as a guest/vendor…read more Came here for a clients wedding which is also a friend so I got to experience both aspects: being a vendor and enjoying some things as a guest. First off, I have to say this, I've never seen anything like the Dramatic Hall. It sure lives up to its name. Seriously so much drama and it surely is a photographers playground. It was the perfect atmosphere for a Sunday wedding. Can't say enough how much I enjoyed photographing a wedding here. Everything was so royal and "extra" without being too over the top. The lightning truly was my favorite as well as all the industrial/modern feels. Love the disco balls that hang elegantly as well as the two stairs that wrap around. It's such a fun, different space for any occasion but especially for a wedding. Parking's not the best but they have street parking available nearby. Sunday's it's free so that's a plus. If you're looking for a different kind of venue this is your spot. You will love all the drama and fun it has!

Oozing pillar bliss, this Villa Barone, (not to mistake this as the location in Throggs Neck) offers the most sought-after destination for meetings, weddings, social events- even hubs' grand niece's Sweet 16th we attended on a rainy Sunday. This Mahopac location has a grand bar as you enter and several function rooms that you can book and customize to suit your event based on your party size. The girl's family picked a room for about 100 people comfortably with adequate space to fill large oblong tables on each side of the room and a dance floor in between. The family brought their own decorations to zhusz up the space to their liking. Food options looked fresh and the fish in lemon sauce rocked big time. Simple, but for a party hall, it was done right and so was everything else that was hand-served buffet-styled. The family picked this space for a reason because they feel it's a radiant and beautiful space that made their event a hit.

Beautiful is an understatement. This place is amazing, the the service is incredible.read more

I was very impressed with the room setup, as it was a big room with chandliers, nice tables and chairs, and looked very beautiful for an event. Even had an upstairs part where one can hang out if a person wants to. We met with a person who is no longer working there, but she was very nice. There are lots of options if one is planning a party: there are breakfast/brunch options, a buffet option, and a sit down option.We would have done a sit down option, which included salad, pasta, fish, steak and chicken dishes. (ask for a sit down menu for specifics) Including options like an open bar. She did a good job answering all our questions and concerns.Also just a small feedback, they should have samples of food around so that a person planning the party knows how the food tastes. While we encase our trust in them to make good Salmon for instance, i think it would be benefical for all party planners to know how the food is. We also checked the restroom, which was clean, and was big and roomy. It is also a little more on the expensive side. While we decided on another venue, I really liked this one despite not really being on the water, but having a small waterfall from the view of the window. Maybe good for another event in the future!

The buildings look brand new, the lawns are well manicured, the rooms are simple (no coffee machine!) and totally quiet, and the place is HUGE. However, it looks like operations restarted recently and the hotel is not operating at 100%. For instance, while they do serve a good breakfast buffet, there is no restaurant to eat at other than a cafe that only serves beverages and snacks and closes at 2 pm. Also - and this is my favorite part - the hotel was 99% empty when I visited! That was such a trip! I walked and walked and saw almost no one, except for maybe two employees and a small group that seemed to be having some sort of corporate event nestled in a far away corner of the very large premises. I felt like I was in a feel-good episode of the Twilight Zone. I'd go back just to walk around the empty grounds. It was so cool!!! A very surreal experience that I enjoyed very much. Oh - I did eventually run into the bartender and ended up chatting with her for a few hours. She was lovely!

Our rooms were ready right when we got there so that we could drop off our bags. Food/drinks were plentiful throughout the entire conference; every time there was a break from our talks, there was a wide array of snacks set out for us outside the main auditorium. The food during the main meals was also pretty good. The accommodations were pretty nice as well. They have a lot of nice indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings. There are lots of beautiful spots on the property to walk around and enjoy the nature scenery. Overall, I had a fantastic conference experience here!

That was far too long, some people in my group didn't even see them because they had to work the next day and were forced to leave by 10:00 pm. However, the venue was outstanding, for 50 dollars they served a beautiful and delicious buffet of food and apps that was outstanding. Absolutely delicious and served hot and fresh. They kept refilling the food until everyone ate. They served Chicken Marsala, sausage and peppers, egg plant rollitini, salad, baked potatoes, and the app station was packed with delicious charcuterie and cheese. The drinks were great and at only 6 dollars each they don't break the bank. The DJ was really good playing some great dance music and the staff were friendly and professional. I would definitely go back to this place again.
