    My job rented out a section of this venue for us. It was our bank's employee appreciation party. The staff: They were friendly and very helpful when we needed to take pictures of our colleagues. The food was great and was spread out on one side of the venue while the other side was for us to sit, eat, and dance. They had the drinks in the far back corner for us and the DJ was in the front center. Overall: This was actually a pleasant experience for our first time attending this venue.

    Came here for a wedding. Valet parking only . The grounds and the inside of the venue are appealing, it doesn't have that run down look that many venues in nj do. The cocktail hour had a range of stations ranging from Chinese, American, Italian. The best things I tasted were the short rib ravioli, lobster ravioli, and spicy tuna roll. The worst would be the bao buns which were too sweet, and the cheeseburgers which were over cooked. For the main event, the crab cakes were substantial but could use less mayo, the lemon sorbet was refreshing, the short rib was tender but lacked a lot of flavor. For our particular table and surrounding tables it was hard to tell if the waiter was inexperienced or just not good. He read the menu off of a handwritten paper, came back and asked guests what they're order was again and got it wrong, never came back with a majority of our drinks even after asking over again, but the worse thing was not everyone at our table got our mains. It came to a point that everyone was almost finished and a guest never got their food, we had 3 people flag him down. Service was, it could just be him, horrendous. Overall, it's a beautiful venue with good food.

    One of my favorite venues in north jersey. They execute really well for weddings. Cocktail hour was very lavish and delicious. The ballrooms are beautiful and spacious. My favorite part was the Viennese - literally like a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

    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. There's 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.

    If I had to describe The Venetian in one word it would definitely be elegant. As soon as you step inside you feel like you're transformed into a beautiful different era decorated to the nines. Any event I've ever been to here has also been ran incredibly smoothly. From the valet to the servers everything is always on point. I've never been here for a wedding but I can imagine it's spectacular. The huge floral arrangements in the hallway, the way the halls are decorated, it just feels rich and elegant. The food is also always delicious. They go above and beyond for their cocktail hour. It's always a home run. Fresh and delicious and with so many options. If you ever have the chance to attend and event here, do it. If you're looking for a venue, I highly suggest checking them out.

    I had recently visited the Venetian for a tour for to check out the venue for my wedding ceremony and reception. I had a couple of tours scheduled and this was my first one. They have a covered awning at the main entrance which is great especially if there is inclement weather. And they have a large parking lot. Upon entry, you enter the foyer and its so spacious and beautiful. There is a stunning vased flower display in the center and definitely a place where I saw guests taking pictures. We waited while waiting for their event coordinator to begin our tour and just quicked wandered the foyer area. There was a giant staircase and a lovely indoor fountain. We were shortly welcomed by Elizabeth and begun our tour. She showed us around the foyer and asked what our plans are, how many people we were expecting, and when we were looking to host the party. We started our tour downstairs and she showed us the cocktail hour room. It was a spacious room in which a variety of stations would be available and some passed appetizers as well. There was also a nice outdoor space that would be available but it was raining that day and didn't get to look outside. We then walked across the hall to the ballroom. They have 2 ballrooms--and can host 2 parties at once. We had viewed the smaller of the 2 ballrooms. It was a spacious room and had a big dancefloor--which was a plus! There was a nice staircase for the wedding party entrance which I really liked. We also saw they had some uplighting that Elizabeth had showed us as well and the variety of colors that they could be based on our color scheme which was nice to see. I also LOVED the beautiful crystal chandeliers. We had then went upstairs and saw the ceremony space. The ceremony space was a beautiful white room and had rows of chairs for the guests-- I had envisioned soo many ways to decorate that room. We then also saw a nice holding room and the groom and bridal suites. Elizabeth had then brought us to the office and showed us their event package that showed menus and explained the costs. She was very thorough with explaining everything. After our visit we took a quick visit to the garden in the front and there was another beautiful fountain and gazebo which are perfect for wedding photos. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and thought the Venetian was a beautiful venue. Elizabeth was wonderful and was able to answer our questions while we were there.

A quick heads-up: on Google Maps it's listed as Ceviche 517, but the sign on the building says Tavern 517, which initially threw us off. We were circling around until we decided to just trust the physical address--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the name didn't even matter anymore. The decor is stunning--definitely has an upscale, Instagram-worthy vibe with a modern lounge feel. We might've come a little early because the place was quiet when we arrived, but that worked in our favor as we got to settle in comfortably and explore the menu. Drinks were a mixed experience. We tried the margarita flight, which included coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry. The coconut and passion fruit margaritas were absolutely delicious--fresh, balanced, and memorable. The strawberry, however, was a big miss--tasted like kid's medicine and no one at the table could finish it. We also ordered a drink called something like Chicola--it had ginger ale, lime juice, and some type of liquor, and unfortunately, it was another one we couldn't get through. The flavors just didn't mix well, and everyone at the table agreed it was a no for us. On the flip side, the Perfect Mule with a strawberry twist, the Henny Mojito, and a bold and fun drink called No Sheets were much better received. Menus are displayed on sleek tablets, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the in-house menu offered way more options than what's listed online. And the food? Absolutely excellent. The Tallarín Saltado with vegetables was beyond delicious--we placed it in the center so everyone could dig in. The ceviche flight was fresh and flavorful, and the jalea (a fried seafood platter) didn't last long on the table either. One friend had the larger ceviche bowl paired with a mojito and already asked to come back just for that combo. Even the kid's arroz chaufa with chicken impressed us, with a big enough portion for leftovers. If there's one thing that fell flat, it was the atmosphere--at least early in the evening. When we arrived, the music playing sounded like retro video game tunes, but thankfully it transitioned into upbeat Spanish hits, including some great bachata that gave the space some energy. All in all, despite a few drink misses and a quiet start, this spot is a gem. The food alone is worth the trip, and we're definitely planning to return--next time a little later in the evening to hopefully catch a livelier vibe!

    I loved this place and will be returning soon!…read more Made it in time for happy hour and tried their margarita and sangria. My fave was the passion fruit margarita.

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party!

Not only will it…read morecost you a lot more-these people are watching your every step like hawks-to the point where it becomes uncomfortable-they already have tons of cameras so the fact that they are on top of you while you're trying to focus on your party is so uncalled for. Going back to the fees-the deposit is $300 which they keep until your party is done and most likely you wont get it back because if you go over the 5 hours you rented the hall for they charge you $200 PER HOUR. I ended my party an hour before so that I could stay in the 5 hour frame but we took just one extra hour because of all the cleaning we had to do. The 5 hour rental is including the time you need to clean up and if you don't clean up to their standards they'll keep your deposit too. So basically you rent the hall for 5 hours you party for 3 and clean for 2 hours? because trust me one hour isn't enough time. They make you sweep and mop the floors too. My family and I left this hall spotless-which they witnessed-(remember-HAWKS) and they still charged us an additional $200. I would have understood if we were still partying but no we were cleaning up this entire place. Oh and let me back track-they also only give you two hours to set up so if you go over the 2 hours-you need to pay $50 (cash only) for every additional hour. Oh wait there's more-if you're serving alcohol or your guest bring alcohol you need to pay an additional $150 dollars.
