Married on sept 27th 2015, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Tosca Marquee. I worked closely with Dawn and Emir and everything came out beautiful ! We had 130 guests attend and dawn made sure everything was set up prior to the ceremony and everyone was on point. Emir took over for the reception. Pros- one stop shop, I didn't have to go back and forth with different venues or churches to get what I wanted. They communicated very well about timing and making a schedule on what was to happen at what time and they helped me stick to it all. Loved having the ceremony downstairs, cocktail hour upstairs and reception back downstairs Decor is very modern and beautiful. The lighting was great and the ceremony was perfect. Everything is pretty spacious Food!! Everyone still tells me how great the food was and the amount of food given ! A lot of people thought the cocktail hour was it and were so full by the time the reception started...that's how much food was given ! Staff members were very attentive to my guest but especially to my husband and I.. which I appreciated because we paid for it all lol Loved that they have a bathroom for wheelchair bound/elderly people at the reception hall. My husbands 2 grandmothers attended and would not be able to walk down the stairs to the regular bathroom. I was able to bring all my items in storage bins 2 days before the wedding and kept it in a closet. I just had to label everything. I had 1 bin for my items. One for decor and one for favors. I loved that because it took away from my worries the day of. All I had to bring was my dress and veil on the day of. I was able to show up at 11, get my makeup done, get ready take my pics and relax before my 3pm ceremony. Also, everything was exactly how I wanted it! Valet parking was a big pro for my family and guest! Personalization- they cater to any personalized detail you would like! Just make sure you bring the items and they make it happen Cons- Stairs are very slippery ! Our best man and my mother in law both slipped down the stairs. No service or wifi in the bridal suite. Had to make calls to family who were running late and could not do that without going upstairs. I did not want my husband to see me so I could not make the calls. I had to send my maid of honor or my mom upstairs to make calls for me. The biggest con for me was the communication with vendors. I used Alex for floral/centerpieces, Contis for cake and the minister all recommended by them. They all did a great job...The minister was on point with everything & was fantastic! You can tell she has been working with them for many years. With Alex, I feel he did a great job but communication between Tosca and alex made me feel like a middle man. I wish they would set up a meeting a month prior to finalize details with vendors and myself just to make sure everyone is on the same page verses me relaying messages. Contis was very good as well but again, communication...The cake was great and the delivery was on time. My issue came from tosca. I told them we would have a 3 tier cake and also a sheet cake delivered. But Apparently no one knew about the sheet cake the day of... it looked like another box they use for mini cheese cakes. Many of my guest complained that they did not have cake So at the end of the night I asked Emir if he knew why that was when we had a extra sheet cake that should have served more then enough people. He told me they didn't serve it and were not aware. So I had to come back the next day to pick up the huge sheet cake and serve it to my family. That would have been avoided if they would have a finalized meeting about timeline and details with both myself and the vendors. Even vendors not recommended by them... our dj, photographers and videographers were family friends who did not speak much English. I tried to set up meetings with all of them but toscas time never worked so I had to come and show them around and translate everything that was going to happen...but of course, there were things I could not answer like the sound system details and dj set up. Luckily one of the videographers spoke English and they were all able to communicate and translate the day of. Everything worked out for the day but just a few things to keep in mind to communicate with them about if you are planning to have your wedding here. Our day still was pretty great!

Just had my wedding at tosca marquee 4-10-15, words cannot describe how happy I am with the results. They did an excellent job with keeping everything organized, and making sure all our needs were taken care of. Food was fantastic! The bridal attendant was incredibly nice, and helpful. I have received many complements on how great the venues staff and food was.

Check out the photos to get better idea, because in this case a picture is worth more words than I can fit on this sight or you're probably prepared to read. Run-on sentence done. That's how excited this lace made me. Swanky spanky. Our prom celebration was on the roof. It was one of the classiest proms we've had in the year I've been a teacher. The roof venue make you feel as though you're living the high life. Add the bang up job the place did in providing the table setting, and the awesome food, you have a night to remember.

Planned on trying the Tosca Cafe but since it seems to be permanently closed tried the Marquee. Place was nearly empty today, of course it was close to 2pm for a late lunch. Enjoyed the ambiance on the rooftop. Service was good, they were on top of everything. No issues there. Had the lunch special of Caesar salad, half chicken parmigiana sandwich followed by a cannoli and coffee. Salad came out quickly, not overly drenched in dressing. It was good, but not great, but it is only a salad. The chicken parmigiana was tasty, not over cooked. Not chewy at all, overall tasted very good. Finished off the meal with a mini cannoli and coffee. They hit the spot. Both had a rich flavor and tasted great. I am now curious to check it out at night from a roof top perspective. Hopefully soon.

My husband and I just has our wedding reception here this past Friday July 11th. Let me begin by saying that from the moment we stepped foot at Tosca exactly a year ago today we were treated like royalty. Emir the Banquet Manager was beyond friendly and courteous. E definitely made my journey for the year that much more smoother and less stressful. From helping to choose linens to lighting to food tasting and of course the actual day I was treated like a true Princess. The staff was amazing the food was delicious and the venue is beyond our wildest dreams! Definitely will recommend to my friends :).

I am very late at giving Tosca their review... but better late than never! I went to Tosca for my baby shower party, I wanted my baby shower to be elegant and classy and I did not want to worry about family members cooking food or having a huge chair I would not like to seat on anyway -. - (I was far from a regular pregnant women and yes I wanted to throw myself a baby shower because I am that much of a perfectionist ) lol don't judge me! Anyway, I searched a few places and then was referred by a co-worker to look into Tosca Marquee. The pictures on their website were beautiful which made me call and book an appointment to come in to see for myself, I instantly fell in L-O-V-E!!! Let me mention that the price- yes is a bit expensive but if you really analyze what you are getting you wouldn't think twice... I was offer catering, any color choice of table cloth and table napkins (they did not have to be the same color) cake table, gift table, a bar with a bartender, and the centerpieces (they have a few choices), let's not forget the endless amount of service from waiters and waitresses on top of the event planner making sure everything is going as plan. The best part of this experience was that I was not at all exhausted or stress, I was more pleased that everything went as planned, my family and friends were impress and were having such a good time. My baby shower was one of the best experiences I ever had and Tosca helped me make it that much special. So thank you for the experience and I will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for a venue as elegant and classy and let's not forget professional. Thank You!

Married at Tosca Marquee 6/18/16, Ceremony upstairs and reception downstairs in their Gallery room for 70 of my guests. The venue was highly recommended by my Fiancé family and a girlfriend that held her wedding reception there. Tosca was one of the few venues that would accommodate a min50+ guest count wedding. First impressions of the venue, small yet modern with GOOD food and knowledgeable management. I originally started working with Dawn but Emir and Samantha did help me throughout the process, always friendly and available to answer any questions. Samantha became my go-to manager towards the end. From the day we signed the contract until the morning of my wedding, Tosca managers came across as efficient. I didn't hire a wedding planner. The 'planner in me' wanted to take on the decorating task. After months of research I knew what I wanted. I did hire help for some of the décor (ceremony backdrop and specialty linens). I was told, my vendors would be able to come earlier in the day for set-up since there were no events prior to my wedding, which started at 6pm. I dropped off two boxes the night prior to the wedding, containing decorations. From the entrance picture, to lanterns, to menu cards ects. Samantha reassured me everything will be taken care off as long as everything was labeled, which it was. I even included a spreadsheet with details of all the wedding décor/vendors. I had two issues the day of my wedding, which left a bad experience. First disappointment, I walk in 40mins prior to my wedding and NONE of the ceremony and entrance décor handed to Samantha was in place. Samantha seemed overwhelmed, handling her staff and the decor task. I couldn't understand why things were being put in place Half hour prior to the event, especially since there was no event prior to mine. To my surprise a lot of my guests were on time, so many got to see the unfinished/chaos in the entrance and the ceremony. What made it worse was that my other vendors were also setting up. I expected everything to be set an hr prior to the event but wishful thinking? My fault for not emphasizing this? My second and biggest disappointment was the cocktail hour, it was a fail. My guests had no sense of direction; there was no management on site to prevent my guests from coming downstairs. The hors d'oeuvre were to be served butler style, I was later told there wasn't enough food. There were only two waiters passing around 5 pieces of hors d'oeuvre at a time and one bartender for 70 guests! This wasn't what I was pictured. Throughout the night it was clear, they were understaff. I didn't get the feeling they were on top of things or of me. The few times I needed a staff member I had to go on a search. What's the point of administrative and bridal assistant fees? I believe they underestimate the needs of a small wedding. Dinner was excellent, good portions. Over all I wouldn't recommend Tosca due to their lack of management and staff on my wedding day. It certainly made them look unprofessional. They failed me, I trusted in them and did not hire a planner thinking they would be able to handle my event, sadly they didn't.

Just had my wedding at Tosca Marquee in July 2017. I had the ceremony in the rooftop garden and the reception in the gallery. When working with Dawn, I thought that I'd have all my future parties here - not sure that's the case anymore. The room was set up beautifully - I just needed to bring flowers and a back drop. I added a few touches such as menus and gold sequence covers for the sweetheart table but it would have been just as perfect without it. The line staff, maitre-d, servers and bartenders were incredible. I want to leave the place five stars but two items left me thinking that management was not prepared for a small wedding with 70 guests. 1. The wedding planner I worked with for months was not there and nobody acknowledged the fact.. It was stressful to know that the team did not have a full understanding of the "plan". Horrible decision by management not to connect with me to advise that they needed to go over the schedule - instead they played it by ear. 2. The isle runner was not ready and they did not have scissors to cut it, therefore guests sat waiting as the song replayed awkwardly. The tent made the rooftop extremely hot and they did not turn on the fans which were just sitting there (lack of time as they were running late with set up?). Food was delicious, 1 bartender for 70 people and the drinks were all heavenly. I cannot say enough about the staff that made sure I was happy even when the management team dropped the ball. If it wasn't for them it would have been a 0 star review. There's valet parking. ...

http://youtu.be/iKz10NINUmQ Wedding-September 26, 2015. ceremony & cocktail hour-rooftop reception-ballroom. Pros-Overall, the venue was perfect! Provided all of the linen, glassware, utensils, cake stand & centerpieces. Great customer service. They set everything up with the help of my event planner. They cleaned up & packed all of my belongings & held it after the wedding. They gave input & helped with organizing my timeline for the day of. Dawn was at my wedding & helped keep things on schedule. Our plates were served for dinner as well. Cons-The food was amazing. However, some guest complained that the food was cold & some didn't even eat.I mentioned it to one of the waitresses. During the cocktail hour, our bridal party was downstairs taking pictures. The bridal suite was prepared with refreshments, however, we didn't get to have any of the h'orderves that were being served upstairs. Drinks were served but only 3 small plates were brought down for almost 20 people. My husband & I didnt even taste the food we selected for cocktail hour. We also only had 1 waitress downstairs for us, which was probably the reason we only received drinks & not H'orderves. No elevators, which you should consider if you have any elderly guest (that was something i didn't think of when booking the venue). Two grandmothers had a very hard time getting to the roof top and coming down. If you're having a buffet style dinner, make sure the wait staff is letting guest know when it's time for desert & coffee as well. Hardly anyone knew coffee when it was served towards the end of the night. I also didn't know we had a great cheese spread, which I also didn't get to enjoy. There was 1 bartender the entire night for 92 guest. During cocktail hour, some guest waited a long time to get drinks and many times during the reception, long lines were formed at the bar. Many guest said that their waitress didn't inform them that they could serve them drinks throughout the night.
