The Palazzo was absolutely phenomenal! I cannot recommend it enough and I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. My husband and I visited about ten different venues before deciding on the Palazzo. The food was amazing! We decided on family style and ordered the Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Mamma Asunta as our mains and everyone was raving (still months later). I've been to a lot of weddings at various venues and this is by far the best banquet food I've ever had. In fact, it's better than most restaurants. This is a newer hall, I think they celebrated their 9th or 10th year so everything is clean and new. The bathrooms were immaculate. And again, the staff was so great. The floor manager for our room checked in with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything and I can honestly say that the day was perfect. Emails were answered fast and they were able to accommodate some cultural things we wanted to add. We were 100% confident before our wedding day that The Palazzo would make sure everything ran smoothly and we were right. Thank you!

Beautiful hall, amazing good, and excellent service. As soon as my groom and I arrived in the hall with our wedding party the manager had drinks already waiting for us with shots. He was beyond helpful and wanted us to have the best night ever. The bridal suite was so nice to have our own bathroom and area to put our things. There was one other fairly large wedding in the other 3 rooms and we couldn't even hear their music, the walls are really sound proof. The dance floor was nice and large. Our guests loved the family style and the food was hot. Overall I would highly recommend checking this place out

Palazzo was an excellent place to host a wedding. Beautiful and clean venue, incredible helpful staff, and very close to my wedding ceremony. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best night - for example, my husband and I didn't get a chance to try the rice balls during cocktail hour so during dinner they brought three fresh plates of them to the head table. This was only one of the many things they did to go above and beyond. I'd 100% recommend.

We were not impressed. Our meat tasted old, it was very chewy. Greenbeans and salad was what our table ate. The cake was cut way to soon and left out to dry up in the back. The waitstaff made us feel rushed, constantly reaching over us while we were eating...are you done? are you done? taking plates, glasses while we were still eating. Very annoying. The lights needed to be dimmed, felt like it was daylight all night. The photo booth had a poor selection, with mostly hats, with lice being a concern WHY all hats? Two guys behind the bar were very nice but the man standing against the wall all night (assuming the owner) made us feel uncomfortable watching us eat.

My husband and I (along with all of our guests) could not stop raving about this venue. The decor is amazing and the food was delicious. We received so many compliments on the food and the service. The staff was very polite and prompt in their responses to any questions we may have had. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great banquet hall.

Jacob & I had our wedding here on May 7, 2016 and it was absolutely perfect. Everyone at the Palazzo is a pleasure to interact and work with. Heidi and Lindsay and amazing at their jobs and went above and beyond to make our day perfect! The food was out of the world amazing, all of our guests commented on how awesome it was. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and perfect! We are so happy we had our reception at the Palazzo Grande and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a classic, elegant venue with amazing food!

Jimmy and his staff really get weddings. Every step of the way was planned perfectly. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic and the hall is beautiful and spacious. We had a 400 person wedding and the hall felt like it could hold 600. Everyone has a lot of space between tables. The price is well worth what they charge. We did family style roast sirloin au jus and chicken. Both amazing. We had our wedding the day after thanksgiving and the Christmas decorations were so elegant and added so much to our wedding photos. Sign with them!!!!

the food and service here is amazing!! I would highly recommend the banquet hall!

From the first moment we walked in, Lindsay was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all of the services that the Palazzo had to offer. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. The tasting at Da Francesco's was tasty and a great way to pick our menu. We had our wedding on a Friday here and it was worth it due to the "extras" that they throw in for Friday weddings. I would absolutely recommend that you check this place out!

Our wedding was on a Saturday night in September with cocktails at 6pm. We had 300 guests. While the venue is a little pricey, it's worth it since it's fairly new and very modern. You don't need to use as many elaborate decorations since the hall itself is beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. They also let us stay an additional 30 minutes without charging us for the time since our DJ was able to stay. I'd recommend this venue to any brides planning a wedding in the future.

Kyle & I were so happy that we decided to have out wedding reception at the Palazzo Grande. Everything was fabulous, their good is out of this world! People still talk to us about their meal. The setup for the hall was done wonderfully, we brought in our own desserts and paid a little more for the palazzo to set up and they setup an amazing dessert display. Lindsey is absolutely awesome to work with. I promise you will not be disappointed if you chose the Palazzo to host your wedding! :o)

We had our wedding reception at the Palazzo Grande at the end of April and were extremely happy with everything Lindsay and her team did for us. The facilities looked beautiful, the food was fantastic, and everyone had a great time!

What an amazing staff! Everything was amazing! All of our guests loved their food and my husband and I were even sent home with some extra food for us to snack on after our reception! We had such an amazing time and look forward to going to other events there in the future!

The Palazzo has the most amazing catered food I have ever eaten. There are so many choices of food and ways of serving the food. My husband and I had our food served buffet style and even that was very tasteful. The actual venue was amazing too; there was lots of room for our guests. It wasn't too crowded like most halls. The staff at the Palazzo were very helpful and accommodating. I am very glad we found them for our reception and catering.

I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our reception. Everything was beautiful, staff was friendly, and the food and drinks were awesome.

The Palazzo is such a beautiful venue! Lindsey and Jimmy were so awesome to work with!! They made everything super easy and were really accommodating! I can't say enough good things about them or the venue itself. The food was SOOO good! We received tons of compliments!! Everything was perfect!!!

The Palazzo was amazing to work with for our wedding venue. Lindsay was a wonderful coordinator to work with and answered my questions throughout the whole process even after we booked. The wedding day went very seamless and we got so many compliments on how delicious the food was. Aside from the entrees, The Italian meatball appetizer was a huge hit...I still hear people rave about the food! The hall is still fairly new so it is clean and modern. I was nervous at first that more than one wedding can be booked in one night...The wedding was on the other end of the hall, and you couldn't even tell another event was going on. My only negative is that when I did drop all my stuff off a couple days before to set up, the girl that wasn't my coordinator had me debrief her on where stuff went...and she didn't write anything down and the kids table got the champagne favor instead of the soda favor...minor issue, but the night was wonderful and all the servers and the bartenders were great. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Very good service and the food was delicious. One big negative is the fact that they start picking up the plates very soon; guests were not done finishing one plate and they would bring the other. When people were dancing their plates were gone and the tables were cleaned up. This happened even though I made sure to tell them that I don’t want them to remove the plates until they are empty or guests say that it’s ok to do so. That was a big disappointment but other than that the hall is beautiful and the staff was very professional and their service was great.

Our experience at Palazzo Grande was nothing less then amazing. The food, service and management was great. Lindsay was a lot of help and great to work with.

We just had our wedding reception at Palazzo & everything was wonderful. All of our friends & family are still talking about how amazing the food was. Palamino Pasta was a hit! Lindsay was SOO helpful with planning our wedding. Every little detail was so organized and she made me feel so at ease up until the day of the wedding. They were very accomodating for our Albanian/American wedding. They have a special Albanian menu, and also catered to our needs for other cultural traditions. It is an absolutely gorgeous venue & would definitely reccommend it!!

Overall everything went well, and on schedule. But the hall did loose our cake cutting set. But to fix the mistake they also bought us a new one.

The Italian edding soup is reason enough to have your reception here! I am 100% Italian and I swear it is the best I have ever tried. We had the steak/chicken combo, and the steak melted in your mouth. The rice balls and calamari are also a must have! They are wonderful. In addition to amazing food, he hall is absolutely beautiful. I especially love how they have a spacious bridal lounge with a big bathroom in it, so you have your own private room for the whole night (very convenient especially if you are trying to pee in a giant wedding dress!) and there is this amazing staircase in front that you can take some great pictures in front of too. Plus the manager (or maybe owner? his name was Jimmy) came up to us several times throughout the course of the night to make sure we were pleased. The service was top notch just like the food!

Gorgeous venue, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic price! The Palazzo Grande was by far the most beautiful venue I saw while doing research for my wedding. Lindsay and the staff were wonderful. The price included food, open bar and the tip!

We loved the venue for the type of wedding we were doing. We are very happy with our event coordinator from the Palazzo(Lindsay Simms). The partner was also very easy to work with. Food was excellent!
