We had our wedding booked in the grove, initially for July 17th, but because of covid that couldn't happen. We rescheduled for next July but after much debate decided to do a backyard ceremony instead 2 weeks ago. We had contacted Banchetti's many times and after many games of phone tag finally went over to talk about getting at least part of our deposit back. The contract we have is for 150 people minimum, which obviously isn't safe or allowed, Banchetti's has spend $0 on us, have spent 0 time on our wedding, and have plenty of time to rebook the date. Due to the pandemic we were hoping for at least part of our deposit back but they have refused. They gave us a gift card for part of the deposit to use there and flat out kept the rest, but as an RN I don't feel it is safe to repeatedly visit the restaurant and risk exposing their staff and other guests. Many companies have been understanding and given refunds but beware before booking anything here, they are absolutely not willing to give anything back or even discuss it. Don't risk your wedding or event here!!!
We had our wedding at Banchetti's 9/2017, we had an amazing experience with everyone there! They helped us decide from start to finish with what we wanted and helped to follow up and guide us through the process! We chose stations and received many compliments about how wonderful the food was! The wait staff was very helpful with everything and we definitely recommend them, we had a wonderful time!!
Our wedding was magical and the food and service was delicious and welcoming! Thank you for everything!
Just got married in the Grove on 9/8. The weather looked like it was going to be cold and rainy but they had tents set up outside ready to go so we could still do our ceremony (luckily the sun came out an hour before & weather ended up being perfect). It was slightly chilly but with the heat lamps you wouldn't have noticed. Through the entire planning process everyone at Banchetti was easy to work with. When we had dropped our decor off the day before, I gave Tammy the coordinator a couple pictures of how I wanted some things to look and told her the rest just to display wherever they saw fit. She did NOT disappoint. The Grove looked even better than I could have imagined (almost brought me to tears when I saw it all decorated). We did the stations package and got many compliments from our guests on how it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had. Banchetti is so reasonably priced and so accommodating I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue.
The food was excellent but at the end of our night I felt like they rushed us out.
Banchettis was awesome to work with! From making payments to all the appointments I was very happy ! Everything was beautiful! It was perfect only complaint was my cake was left out and melting before cocktail hour even started when my moh told them they brought it into the fridge only to then bring it out again with a huge dent in the side, that was in all my pictures. I'm really easy going so I wasn't that upset. It the fact they never followed up or apologized didn't sit well with me . Also one of the meals were supposed to go to a different table as people moved seats, which we had notified the waitstaff, the meal was never brought out and guest waited 40 mins for food, but again understandable as it could of been confusing ... Other then that tho the staff management everything was awesome and I would recommend this venue to all friends and family . It was beautiful, everyone complimented the food as well as the venue . Very happy with my choice !
Had a wonderful wedding at Banchettis. The food and staff were great!
The staff were consistently high performing - always going above and beyond, making sure we were pleased. The food was amazing and everyone enjoyed their experience here. They took great care of us, from the first meet!
Banchetti's is a great place to have a wedding reception. The staff is wonderful, and are more than willing to help you with anything (they even answer the million and 1 questions you may have without hesitation)! We chose to have a buffet style dinner and it was the best choice! Our guests raved about the food and continue to talk about what a beautiful night it was. Thank you to Claire and Carol for helping us throughout the planning stages and for being there the day of to ensure that everything went smoothly. Ben was a great "go to" for anything we needed right away that night, too. Also, to pull it all together, it was great to see the owner, Mike Rizzo, there making sure that we were satisfied with everything. Our wedding would not have been the same if we did not have our reception at Banchetti's!
I was very impressed with banchettis, they had went above and beyond with their service. There was a little miscommunication with the candy buffett I had (it was supposed to be covered until a certain time) but the owner graciously called to have it filled up again and payed for it again, talk about customer service. Everyone raved about the food and how good it was. The gazebo was beautiful, I honestly can't say anything bad. Will definitely recommend
We used Banchetti as our wedding venue for both the ceremony and reception. The grove area was absolutely beautiful, and the perfect size for our 120 guest wedding. The great thing about using the grove for the wedding and reception was that you get so much space! Your guests can use the grove area AND the reception area during dancing and cocktail hour! The space had a nice gazebo and all the surrounding trees made it very private.
Food was fantastic, price was great, and the staff was good. A few things could have been better. When we initially booked, we weren't given our "wedding folder" which included a timeline. So we missed our 2 month appointment, and Benchetti didn't call us until 3 weeks prior to the wedding to schedule a meeting. And during the reception, they lost my toss bouquet, so we didn't get to do that. But overall, those were minor things.
The team at Banchetti's I feel like they did a great job in making sure every detail of my reception was perfect to make it such a great success! They were always willing to help and work with me. The Grove looked great & the guests had a great time. I heard many compliments on the food! I could not have asked for a more caring staff to make the planning so easy or make it such a memorable day.
We had our sit down wedding reception at Banchetti's in October 2012 in the Rose Room. The room was beautiful. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was, from the soup, salad to the entree. We had prime rib, salmon and chicken riviera and everyone was pleased with the food, especially the portion size. We also ordered our wedding cake from Banchetti and it was delicious and absolutely beautiful. I was very pleased with everything on our special day and would definitely recommend Banchetti Banquet Facility to have your wedding reception.
My wedding was September 22nd, 2012.
I booked the Rose Room, my reception started at 5:30pm. 140 guests expected.
The space was perfect. I could see every table and it felt cozy but over crowded. The food was excellent and I wished I had asked to take home a "doggie bag" to eat later. We had a buffet. The stuffed pork loin, carved ham and roast beef were PERFECT! Yum!
I had left instructions and talked to several of the staff up to the day. They had placed my 3.5 x 5.5 feet picture of Nick's Lake behind the head table on tall cocktail tables as I had asked. It was just what I hoped for. I can't wait to see it behind us in the photos. The food was served in a timely fashion, the clean up was quick as well. The bartenders had awesome personalities.
We had Irish Danced before dinner and I am so glad that they were flexible in keeping the floor clean and free until we were done before dinner. The bar was special, we had a keg of Sam Adams October Fest, a case of apple wine, and a sparkling wine at the head table added to our tab. They also substituted Jim Beam in for Jack Daniels per the groom's request.
I only have a couple gripes but I could have done some of this myself so I will take half the blame. My 10 solar lanterns that were used in the centerpieces were not left by a window to charge and thus didn't light up during the reception. I wish someone had paid more attention to detail and noticed that before I did. BUT I could have done that I suppose. The day before there seemed to be confusion when I dropped my centerpieces and decor off. I had made an 11am appointment and I dind't get to talk to anyone until 11:45am which wasted a lot of my time since I got there early to unload. I just wanted to drop go over everything one last time and run. I think it would be best if only one person handled all my changes and requests. I had seen 3 different coordinators during my year of planning. Though if you have ask for anyone I favor Ben.
It was a wonderful time and I'm glad we chose Banchettis.
My son's reception was held at Banchetti's and all the comments we heard about the food were excellent. The cake was also made at Banchetti's and it was wonderful!!
The only minor glitch was that his wife's family had arranged for appetizers to be served at 5 p.m. The room was not ready until about 5:15 which made it difficult for our older guests. Because we were not involved in the cost I cannot rate the value.
I loved my outdoor wedding ceremony at the Grove by Banchettis. It was absolutely beautiful!
We had the time of our lives in the rose room at banchettis. Great food, good service, minor techniqualities but a great time was had by all!
Banchetti's was absolutely great overall. The staff was great, the building and services were very nice, and the overall bang-for-your-buck value is second to none. Worth checking out.
Banchetti's is a lovely banquet hall...the people are sincere, understanding, and helpful. The outside grove was beautiful and so was the potential rain location, but to top it all off the FOOD was great!!!! Food and Music and key factors to your wedding day, so thank you Banchetti's!!
We used banchetti's for my shower, They shower was beautiful!!! The food was great, we had brunch food and it was all wonderful and we had a lot of options. The mimosas were awesome too! I would just say to double check all details the day before the shower because some things seemed to be unclear but once we talked about it again it was perfect.
food is pretty good here. better than most wedding food.
Had a great time, reception was in the grove. The grove is beautiful at night with lots of candles. Had a few minor hiccups , but brushed them off and enjoyed the night. Everyone raved about the food.
We chose the Grand wedding package that was offered. We had our reception in the beautiful outdoor Grove. The food was great, the service was great...the overall experience was wonderful! Thank you Banchetti's!!
food was good but they should have coffee and tea with their package.
I cannot say enough good things about Banchetti's. Everything was wonderful. The owner was onsite making sure that everything was perfect. He even went into the kitchen to prepare the dinners for myself and my husband. The staff was marvelous, making sure every detail was perfect. The food was amazing, even my hard to please mother-in-law was happy with everything. I couldn't have had a better wedding reception. We had the tiki bar add on and every one loved it. All my friends and family have been saying it was the classiest and nicest wedding they have been too. If class and good food at an affordable price is what you are looking for this is the place to go.
We had our ceremony and reception at Banchetti, in the Grove, in June 2011. It was perfect. The food was great (we did stations, but substituted a seafood station for the mexican or oriental)... Everyone kept commenting on how good the food was. The service was awesome, especially our head waitress she was right on top of everything and kept checking in with us without being annoying. The staff decorated everything perfectly and set up our center pieces, favors, guest book, etc, perfectly, and packed everything up nicely at the end of the night (without rushing us or making us feel like they wanted us gone). The owner and 3 different managers made contact with us throughout the night, which was nice. Overall we had a great experience with Banchetti and I definitely recommend them. I have never been to the inside rooms... But I LOVED the Grove. It is a risk with the weather, but it was sooo nice out there. It made it less banquet-ish and more unique and fun. And for the price, compared to other places around, you get sooo much. We had a 5 hour open bar, 4 appetizers (2 hot and 2 cold); for the stations we had a meat station with 2 carved meets and rolls; an italian station with 2 pasts, 2 sauces, veggies to go in the pasta, caesar salad, and meat for the pasta; and the seafood station, with 3 things (there were lots of choices for the seafood and also the meats for the other 2 stations, and a ton of appetizer choices). With gratuity and taxes, it was around 50 a person (and we upgraded the bar to top-shelf).
I am so happy I chose to have my wedding at Banchetti's. They were so professional and knew exactly what they were doing. There was not a single time that I felt the need to worry or that they were doing something wrong. It is a beautiful place and their food is wonderful!
personal attention excellent food had a great time
