She was organized, calm, and on top of every little detail so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

We had a small wedding ceremony in Savannah, GA and decided to have our wedding reception a few…read moremonths later in Ohio due to the lockdowns. Since the moment we contacted Vell's through the days after our event, this venue did everything they possibly could to accommodate us. They worked with us on dates, they gave us so many menu options, they kept us up-to-date of all the restrictions going on in the state (we were planning from states away.) We changed a few things on them and they could not have been nicer about it. The food was amazing and the venue was beautiful. All our guests had everything they needed and everything went off without a hitch. Not only was it an amazing and beautiful event but it was also very affordable. We told them our budget and guest list and they gave us an option that worked for us. Also, everything was super clean and we have had no problems with the virus since our event. Can not recommend this place enough. Talk to Dee. She will make the wedding reception of your dreams come true!

Susan and her team catered our networking event for local translators and interpreters last April…read more(2017). In addition to suggesting several possible venues (and we loved the venue we used - Putter's on Rt. 18), she met with us ahead of time to discuss the food. We decided to do food stations of various cultures - Mediterranean, French and Asian along with a dessert table. The presentation was gorgeous, and everyone raved about the food. Susan and her staff set it up and left one team member to oversee things and restock as needed, who was very friendly and helpful during the event. We are doing the same event again next month, and Splendid Fare was the obvious choice.

I was somewhat stunned to see a negative review of Splendid Fare. We have worked with Susan and…read moreher team multiple times at our own events, and have experienced her services at probably 50 events over the past 20 years- ranging from private dinner parties in Akron's finest homes, to weddings and anniversaries, to fundraisers. Every menu is thoughtfully planned, beautifully prepared and professionally served. I have watched Susan's staff stick around long after the party to attend to details - whether it's soaking a client's fine napkin to eliminate a wine spot, or making sure a kitchen is spic and span. Her staff is always well trained and friendly, and they will all go to almost any length to assure the success of an event. Her reputation as one of Akron's finest caterers is well deserved, and trust me, you'll be in good hands.

We were blown away by the recent renovations and the multi use space that was offered to us for our meeting. Plenty of rooms for us to have our main meeting plus break out space. The AV was top notch and user friendly plus the prices were great! The location could not be beat as it was walking distance to all of our evening events, dining & lodging. The staff was super hands on in ensuring that we had the best possible event and even went out of their way to help find/set up local vendors for during the meetings. Overall I'd highly recommend the Onesto Lofts for anyone looking to host a unique meeting in Stark County!

Friend baked Italian baked goods and Santangelos was happy to set them up. Many caterers won't serve or touch any food that isn't theirs.

Hors d'oeuvres were excellent, with the pineapple chicken being very tender and juicy. Service and cleanup were great. Fast, without feeling rushed. Will use again.

They said "the knives are in a different building" The bartender working couldn't be less thrilled to be there. He was annoyed every time you walked up and had to get off his phone to help you. The potatoes they served with the prime rib were black and overdone. They were disgusting. I would never come back here for a meal.

I can't speak to the pricing or helpfulness of the staff, but the space itself was great. It's clean and spacious and the decor is comtemporary. The layout is better than most as well.

They came to the venue in time to set up, fire up the oven and start serving right at the scheduled time while the rest of us were off rehearsing. Scott needed no direction from me other than "where would you like me to set up my serving table?" It was the easiest event I ever hosted. All of the pizzas were all unique and used many topping combinations from standards like pepperoni to unusual like Thai chicken or spaghetti and meatballs. Everybody enjoyed trying the different options and picking their favorites. Buffalo chicken wing and the one with mashed potato were mine but I heard others rave over the seafood Alfredo that I didn't try (far more options than one belly can handle!) There was quite a bit left over too, which reheated very well. Also included was a delicious salad, cheese stuffed breads and wood fired cinnamon rolls for dessert. It was all delicious and nobody went away hungry. For me, the best part was that Scott did all the work and I was able to relax and enjoy watching the pizza production and sampling the tasty results just as though I was one of our guests. Scott and his team worked very hard to give us great tasting food and a fun atmosphere and I would definitely hire them again.
