    My friend got married during COVID here. The wedding hall is so big that everyone on my livestream mentioned that it looked empty even though there were about 100 people in attendance. The food was your average wedding food. The bartender was very sweet! Also, social distancing guidelines, temperature checks, and masks in the halls is all in order.

    I am the director of a young film festival... and we just had our first year's Award Ceremony at Macaluso's in Feb 2023. I encourage anyone reading this not to only consider this wonderful venue for weddings and bridal showers... not a filmmaker that attended did not say that this wasn't the greatest Award Ceremony they had ever attended.... and we had very active filmmakers attend from across the country and around the world. In some ways having our event here really "put us on the map" and I intend to have it here going forward, for as long as they will have us... amazing food, attentive staff and decades of experience and pride... thank you Macaluso's

    I recently attended a wedding at Macaluso's. The establishment sits high above the street, so you feel like you are pulling up to a castle! Complementary Valet service was available to park our cars, which was nice since we were dressed in formal attire.The venue is decked out with chandeliers, candles, fireplaces and art, which are slightly dated. The cocktail hour was loaded with choices, and the open bar was certainly handy, though the drinks were tiny. The food as a whole was *meh*, lacking flavor and excitement. I had a NY strip steak that was over cooked and bland. I heard other people discussing the same quality of their food. Generally, the servers were lovely and welcoming, but you could tell that they kept the event on a strict timetable, it felt very rushed. Personally, I would want a wedding to feel more free-flowing and natural. If you are the kind of person who wants to be kept to a timeline for your special day, this place is for you. They will have you PROMPTLY out at 11pm.

    As a first time visitor to this highly-praised event venue, I couldn't have been any more impressed. The décor, the service, and most importantly the food lived up to all the expectations that I had coming in to the place. My work holiday party was held for the first time this year at Macaluso's and I think it's going to continue to be held there for years to come based on all the positive comments from everyone I spoke to. For a place to hold hundreds and hundreds of party revelers and still maintain a great sense of elegance is no small feat, but Macaluso's was able to pull it off with grace and style. Boy what a treat it was to celebrate with coworkers and enjoy all the hard work this past year. The place may not be the biggest venue I have been to but its space utilization is perfect. The main ballroom has a huge dance floor and plenty of space to accommodate a couple hundred guests. The décor is Italian elegance mixed with French flare. You instantly knew it was going to be a classy party as soon as you walked in. Connected to the grand ballroom was another area where the buffet was set-up. Selections were simply too many to recount and the food served was nothing short of perfect. Everything was scrumptious and I ate every bit of food on my plate until not a single morsel was left. At first I felt so awkward for doing such thing but then I realized that I wasn't the only one who pretty much licked their plate clean. Perhaps that's the biggest compliment I can give--I would have actually licked my plate clean had it not been for my coworker stopping me! I understand why many people list Macaluso's as a favorite place to hold events. I can only imagine how amazing a wedding would be here. If my holiday party experience was any indicator, any bride would find this place the perfect venue for her special day. Perhaps when I attend a wedding here I can see another side of it, but I have no doubt based on my one visit they will blow any event out of the water.

    Attended a Summer wedding at macaluso! The reception was held at this location... from the outside it looked like a small little Italian restaurant...but the inside looked so big and elegant... the entrees span all the way to a three course sit down dinner with a full open bar and dancing into the night.... I really enjoyed the buffet of appetizers...very delish... The only thing I had a problem with would be the seats were located a mile away from the buffet....made it extremely hard and difficult to get another plate of food.. I thought the decor was nice... Pretty elegant... The center pieces were cutes...kept me entrain all night... The service was great...but I felt hurried because they keep asking me if Im done with my food... first dance for the bride and groom....a father/daughter dance for the bride and her father... possibly a mother/son dance for the son and his mother...and then everyone joins in and partying it up... during the reception...the bride and groom cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite...towards the end of the reception... the bride did the bouquet toss every single or unmarried women went crazy for it... Tip: chocolate fountain!

We hit it off the first time we met at his New York office, and we knew we would have a great time working with him. From the beginning, he tried to understand our overall vision and aesthetic for the wedding. He gave us great suggestions for how to transform a hotel conference room into a really beautiful, opulent space (which he did!). He draped the entire room in white flowy fabric and put hundreds of candles in the one floor-to-ceiling window wall of the room. He found these amazing gold candlestick holders for our high centerpieces which ended up looking phenomenal. He and his staff were great on the day of the wedding and got everything where it needed to be on time both at the church and at the hotel. The ballroom was set up beautifully, and we were in awe of the transformation. Mitch was really patient with the many, many questions and requests my wife and I had over the months leading up to the wedding, and he didn't try to oversell us on things we didn't want or need. He has an easy, relaxed manner that puts you at ease. We felt very comfortable that he and his team would deliver. And they absolutely did. Just look at the pictures :) Thanks Mitch!

    I cannot recommend Jacque and Lifetime Events by Jacqueline highly enough! From start to finish,…read moreJacque went above and beyond to create an unforgettable winter ski getaway and an incredible 50th birthday celebration at Whiteface Lodge. Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths. The list of what she managed is endless! What truly stood out was Jacque's professionalism and calm confidence throughout the entire process. Even when things were uncertain, she never wavered. Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, organization, and grace under pressure, Jacque at Lifetime Events by Jacqueline is the one. She turned my vision into reality and exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thank you Jacque!! Keisha Grant-Heslop
