I got married in July and finally have a spare moment to leave this review. I’m so happy with my decision to have my wedding here. I actually had my prom here in 2008 but they’ve revamped in every way since then. I had such a great experience from planning to the day of! They were so flexible and accommodating about set up and timing and changes and all of that. They also made the day of relaxing for me! I wasn’t stressed at all. I never hired a wedding coordinator but this venue comes with one! Gina was great! I actually tear up righting this as I recall how awesome she was. I get compliments to this day about the food, my friends say it’s the best wedding food they’ve had. Hot, fresh, homemade.. all of that! They were also obsessed with the cocktail hour food. The chefs name is Chris. He really can accommodate the menu to exactly what you want, in every way. Doug is the owner, he was great too! So patient with us, as I know not the easiest bride. He spent a lot of time with us, and responded to each and every email of mine! I had such peace of mind from this during a stressful time. My best decision was to have my wedding here, and I’m the queen of indecisive decisions so there’s that. Thanks a million!! Reviewed on 17-01-2024

The Amber Room is the best venue in the Eastern NY / Western CT. There is just so much to say! Their location was very convenient for our local guests in the Tri-state area. We also had many guests traveling by plane and this location was very convenient for arrivals in NYC, travel by train with many hotels near by. Quality and value were not matched by the other venues we toured for my son’s wedding. Pricing was fair, there were 3 package choices to choose from but there was plenty of flexibility for my son and daughter in law to customize their special day. The food was fantastic! We did a buffet which the staff handled beautifully. It moved fast and efficiently. Everyone raved about the mashed potatoes! Meat was cooked perfectly. I cannot thank the entire staff enough. They were always there to help during the entire planning, the days before, with the event’s set up and during and after the event. The staff was most gracious, in taking care of the needs of my elderly mother and my 1 year old grandson … as well as everyone else. Everyone we worked with was professional and friendly. Made you feel you didn’t have to worry or stress out. And the venue is beautiful. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The only thing I am sorry about is that the event is over, I wish we could replay and repeat! All in all a perfect day and evening, and I truly mean that. Our guests had only compliments for the Amber Room. Reviewed on 24-12-2023

The Amber Room was absolutely FANTASTIC for our December 2023 Winter wedding! I loved how professional everybody involved was. What I loved the most in terms of planning was their TOP TIER communication skills. Katie was ALWAYS super on top of the event with promp emails, calls, and meetings. Katie is such a professional event planner and always made us feel comfortable, safe, a LOT less anxious and overall, she is just amazing at what she does! Her whole team too! The Amber Room is a beautiful place for any celebration and we are so proud that it is in our own hometown, what a Greater Danbury Area gem! Food was delicious, drinks were great, wait staff was kind and on top of it. We are so happy we booked our special day with them, for real! Thank you Amber Room!! Reviewed on 14-12-2023

We booked the Amber Room in December 2022 and were married there on 10.13.23 and it was a literal a dream come true. Doug (the GM) and Gina (our Banquet Manager) were tremendously professional, accommodating, thoughtful, responsive, and understanding throughout the whole planning process. They gave us their suggestions and experiences to draw from while planning and just about everything day-of was on time and went off without a hitch.They had just finished redoing the ceremony site and it was absolutely gorgeous for our outdoor ceremony. The property lended itself beautifully for our first-look and bridal party photos.Many guests raved about the delicious food, especially the butternut squash and the mini risotto balls.My husband and I had a designated staff member bringing us anything we needed, and she even assisted with bustling my skirt.The cell phone service is terrible, but they do have WiFi and that was a complete non -issue for us since it meant no one's phones went off during the ceremony.Between the care, attention, and quality of service we received, we definitely got more than our money's worth and we are so glad we went with them for our big day.

My husband and I cannot thank everyone enough for making our dream wedding come true on 10/7/2023! If there's one decision you have to make for your wedding to be perfect then choosing Amber Room Colonnade is the decision you need to make. Katie was amazing helping us plan every step of the way and made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. From her fast response to emails, all-encompassing checklist of choices and true dedication to her work I knew right away we were in good hands! Gina was our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond through every process including meeting with us multiple times prior to our big day to make sure our wedding was exactly how we envisioned. The day of was so busy and Gina set up our ceremony area, entry way and reception room perfectly and exactly as I hoped. I had many personalized items and Gina made sure they were all placed perfectly, and everything looked beautiful. Due to rain, our original plans had to be changed, but everyone was so prepared that everything went as smoothly as if nothing had ever changed. Patty was great assisting my husband and I all night with anything we may have needed to make sure we were happy. Choosing The Amber Room Colonnade was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding day! I even saw Gina a couple of weeks later for another event and she was so kind and made my Mom, sister and I truly feel like family. We can never thank everyone enough! Reviewed on 08-11-2023

My husband and I just got married at the Amber room. The knot and wedding wire reviews were very important and helpful to us when we were deciding on our venue. We would highly recommend the Amber Room. From the start we knew we were in good hands. Katie was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. Katie responded throughly and timely to all of our questions and concerns. Katie helped us through our wedding planning time and made it a lot less stressful. The planning was so flexible. Ashley was just as amazing. She helped us with the day of planning and rehearsal dinner and tasting. Everything went so smoothly on our big day because of Ashley. I knew I didn’t have to stress because Ashley was on it! Whatever we needed, she was there. Everyone was so easy to work with at the Amber Room, so personable, we never had a doubt about anything because we knew we were in great hands.

If I could celebrate my wedding at The Amber Room again, I would in a heartbeat!! My husband and I actually had booked with another venue but they were unexpectedly closing. However, luckily we were told that The Amber Room had our original wedding date available and we were then introduced to Katie who had said \"Maybe everything happens for a reason\" and now looking back she was totally right, it may have been a blessing in disguise. Everyone at The Amber Room was an absolute dream to work with! We had an outside caterer for our wedding and they too agree that the crew at The Amber Room is a great team. We also added on the photo booth which everyone had a ball. The Amber Room tiered wedding cake was very delicious! I can go on and on but if you're considering to have your wedding at The Amber Room we 1000/10 definitely recommend! Reviewed on 21-09-2023

I recently had my wedding here at the Amber Room, and at first I was hesitant to have a wedding in the same venue I had my prom 15 years earlier, but I am SOO happy we ended up choosing them. We mainly worked with Katie during the planning process, and let me tell you- she is so sweet, professional, knowledgeable and made every decision feel like an absolute BREEZE. I honestly felt stress-free the entire 10 months of planning all thanks to Katie! She was always readily available and answered every e-mail right away! Melissa and Doug were so friendly and helpful along the way, too. Ashley was there guiding us through the wedding day and made my anxiety almost nonexistent! Huge shout out to the chefs as well, because our guests are still RAVING about the cocktail hour dishes and the entrees! I also chose the Amber Room because they include almost everything in their packages which made planning SO easy and fun. The ceremony and cocktail hour tent were absolutely beautiful as well.

We do not have one bad thing to say about the Amber Room. We got married yesterday & I couldn’t wait to write this review. This was the first place we toured and felt like family immediately. The planning process was seamless & even though our original coordinator went on maternity leave, everything was still handled with such care you wouldn’t have known there was a staff change. The owner Doug was so kind & helpful. Our banquet manager, Ashley, was the best to work with. Anything we needed, she was there. Helped me with my nerves the morning of & was so attentive.

When I spoke to Doug on the phone and he said to me that the Amber room is not cookie-cutter emphasizing of course every venue says that.

Everyone complemented the food, also the staff. Having been to other venues and other parties that I’ve thrown not only for my children and for myself.

Doug followed through on every single promise and then some! We had to make so many changes on short notice including the day before due to weather and every concern and change we had to make was met by so many options from Doug. He never made us feel like we were stuck even when some of the changes had to be made due some of my own mis-planning. Even after we were paid in full and full locked into our contract he always made me feel like I was in total control. He also had a connection to vendors and help as needed.

Covid restrictions made planning a wedding such an uncertain and stressful situation and we ended up meeting with Doug about a month before our wedding day to see if he was able to do an emergency switch for us. Doug was quick to react and respond and made sure we were able to keep our original date and made the process smooth and easy. The day of the wedding the entire staff was fantastic and more than willing to make any accommodation we asked for and made sure we had everything before we could even think to ask.

Katherine LoPresti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 First I would like to say that out of all the reviews I will be posting now that my wedding day has come and gone, I take this one very seriously. We could NOT have gone with a better venue for our ceremony and reception; they cared about making our wedding day spectacular as if we were family. We worked with Doug from the very beginning and he is absolutely amazing. He embodies excellence in every way a bride and groom to be needs leading up to their wedding day and the day of. If I called or emailed (no matter how many times or how often) he was always happy to hear from me and happy to answer any and all questions. As a first time bride I had many questions and things I envisioned would be a part of my wedding day and The Amber Room Colonnade wanted us to have it all, they worked with our budget and told us exactly how we could have everything we wanted. Now let’s fast forward some months and talk about our wedding day. Our wedding day was suppose to have terrible thunderstorms and hail, which was a disaster for a bride dreaming of an outdoor summer ceremony since before I met Doug and he knew it. He waited until the very last second before making a final call, even after I agreed to move the ceremony to a dry location the afternoon of, and decided to surprise me with an outdoor ceremony upon arrival anyway because he knew how important it was to me. I meant it when I said they want you to have it ALL. Perhaps Doug can control the weather too? Although if it were to rain there was a plan A, B, and C in place! Our guests told us and are still talking about how much fun our wedding was and hands down one of the best weddings they have gone to in a long time. I have Doug, Gina, and their team to thank for that. The Amber Room Colonnade takes so much pride in ensuring the very best and I’m not just talking about their service, or their beautiful location, but the FOOD as well. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious and our guests were trying to take every bit of their leftovers (if any) home with them; compliments to their chef! Right before our wedding day I asked Doug for signature cocktails as well, which he happily did for us; they were beautiful, tasty, and packed a punch. They are always keeping up with current food trends and their efforts have not gone unnoticed by me, my new husband, and all our guests. We loved our espresso/cappuccino station during dessert, the craft margarita bar during cocktail hour, our beautiful and delicious four tiered wedding cake, additional dessert platters, and the end of the night bacon, egg, and cheese to-go station. The quality and excellence of food provided during cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert was taken above and beyond by all the food/drink “add ons” we wanted as well. It will be a night our taste buds will always remember. Thank you to all at The Amber Room Colonnade for making my dreams and ideas a reality and for making this process so easy that I made all my married friends jealous. Thank you as well for taking care of all our friends and family and coordinating with our vendors while ensuring that my husband and I were fed and happy all night. You all will always be remembered by us for being a vital part of the best wedding we could have ever asked for. You treated us like family and made our wedding seem like a top priority with so many personalized touches that only The Amber Room Colonnade could do. Reviewed on 30-07-2019

Cindy Clarke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 Always a planner now a bride ——I have waited way to long to write this review given we got married May2018, but I’m glad I finally got to it. As a planner I knew what venues were available in the greater Danbury area. But I knew with no hesitation I was going to select the Amber Room Colonnade (ARC) for our big day! The decision was easy. Some have asked me why... 5 things : REAL customer service, on-site decor options, ability to cater to diversity, flexibility, ability to work w/ your budget, and the ability to understand logistics and execute their customers vision. Bottom line The ARC gave us a perfect wedding experience. We could NOT have been happier with the end result. SPACE:With the ARC the foundation is there so I only had to focus our time, money, and creativity on making the space ours w/ all the final touches. No covering up decor from the late 80s or 90s or earlier-yikes! FOOD & DIVERSITY :Their food is freshly made! From appetizers to main entrees&desserts. Nothing “frozen fresh” No sir! Chef and his team make EVERYTHING from scratch! More over it was important to us with 3 cultures represented ... we wanted to express each-in the food. And they nailed it! Our guests raved about cocktail hour. SERVICE-Gina and Staff were on top of everything. True professionalism no one their cell phone or looking miserable. & They were so accommodating and engaging. Everyone working all the time. CAKE -was amazing! Monica created a masterpiece. She listened to what we wanted it was Beautiful work - freshly made on sight! LOGISTICS-they did what We asked and supported our vision and I didn’t have to ask twice. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Alisha&Doug were with me every step of the way. We never felt like a number, or had to be tolerated. They took the time to work with us. You could tell there was a true sincerity in their actions. OPTIONS: With their never ending list of professional vendors it was a one stop shop planning. IF you are busy but want a running start... Ask and you just might receive! FAMILY: ARC are a family so when you work with them - we felt like part of their extended family. They were friends, they were confidants, professionals.... just wonderful.

People especially looooved the fried cauliflower (his added choice); I personally have an addiction to the bacon-wrapped scallops.The venue itself is beautiful, especially with the new renovations.

Kennedy Jattan Jr.(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2017 A Five Star review is a joke in terms of rating the Amber Room ... a minimum of 15 stars at least is where the rating bar should start at!! Jess and I (Ken) had such an incredible experience there! Let's begin with the man that made it happen, Doug ... He's literally the reason why we chose this venue. From past event memories, the decor wasn't something we were fond of and didn't think to book there but Doug insisted we take a look and man are we grateful! Everything was upgraded. Everything. Wall color, lighting, carpeting, flooring, both men and women's bathrooms, bridal suite, front lobby, door knobs (maybe not door knobs but you get the point) ... So the venue looked great enough to consider. We were kinda on board at that moment. And then Doug started to speak lol. His genuine demeanor and eagerness to help make our day special was beyond anything we've experienced. A real desire to help. That's what he gave to us, that feeling of making someone happy. A commitment to make sure we were taken care of ... that's rare to find. He's so great in fact, that after we finished talking (we had two other appts for venues that day), he told us to take a look at those venues and get back to him with our thoughts. He set the bar so high and no one else came even close. So, we immediately called him and booked!! Not only was the venue superb, the staff was fantastic!!! Olga, Gina and the entire crew were phenomenal. They literally tended to our every need. Anything we wanted, it was there. Glass of water, family member for photos, extra plate ... I mean you name it. Selfless and attentive. Simply put, perfect. No stress about where to be or what to do, they had our backs the whole time. And fronts and sides and tops and bottoms!!! Lol ... OH! And the food!? Worth every penny spent. Just wanted to make sure that's understood! We know this review may seem long but it's worth it. We could probably use four more thousand characters.

Shana Cloud(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-11-2017 I got married the day after Thanksgiving in November 2017. We met with Alisha in August and planned everything in 3 months. Needless to say, that timeline is VERY tight. Alisha and Brad made it feel so easy, calm, and seamless. I was the opposite of a bridezilla - I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO PICK FOR ANYTHING. Alisha was super patient and kind; helping me through every small step and giving advice to help make our day perfect. And it was PERFECT. Since our wedding was in the fall, we did both the ceremony and reception indoors; and were able to find just about every additional vendor we needed through the Amber Room. Our JP had a relationship with them already, and we used their DJ and photobooth package. All of my guests made a point to tell me how great the food was. #risottopears TRUST ME.There are plenty of areas to catch great shots for your photography (a deer made a cameo in mine), so no need to travel for the wedding photos. The Bridal Suite was awesome. My makeup artist was able to set up two stations for touchups with no problem. I also have a baby on the way, so everyone was super attentive to giving me snacks and whatever non-alcoholic beverages I needed throughout the night.

She was responsive, no matter when I called or emailed; but above all she was always pleasant and offering a smile! She went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. During our site visit she was very thorough and prepared with all the details. The contract negotiation was smooth and I felt like I was getting a great value. Alicia & the Amber Room did not disappoint. The tasting was perfect and our favorite foods were incorporated into the day-of hors d'oeuvres selections. The planning process was seamless with Alicia and we were so blessed to have had her. The West Ballroom for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was absolutely stunning. The outdoor ceremony location has a natural runner with the beautiful stone pathway, and we got married right under the trees. There's even a water fountain! All of the outdoor spaces for photos were gorgeous! A special thank you also to Gina, our banquet manager, who picked up right where Alicia left off and executed the wedding flawlessly. A couple of other highlights about our wedding at the Amber Room: 1) The cake- it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! 2) The food- our guests are still raving about how delicious all of it was! 3) The service - from the service we received as the couple to the service all of our guests received, it was great! We didn't received any complaints. Our guests still tell us that our wedding was the best one they've ever been to. That is in large part to the Amber Room, so from the bottom of our hearts we thank you and your team! We could not have asked for a better wedding. You cannot go wrong with booking this venue. You get more than just the beautiful location; you are ensured a team that will dedicate themselves to making sure your special day is memorable, enjoyable, and stress-free! Reviewed on 15-10-2017

We knew from our first meeting with Alisha, that we were in good hands. Alisha, Brad and the rest of the staff were so accommodating throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect! Our guests have not stopped talking about the food!

Kimberly Grogan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-08-2017 We got married at the Amber Room on August 5, 2017 and after the amazing experience we had, we would wholeheartedly recommend.First, the Amber Room itself is in a great location. It is ten minutes away from hotels and shopping which was perfect for us and our guests. The inside has been recently remodeled and everything from the ballroom to the bathrooms looks clean, beautiful, and elegant. Though I didn’t get to see the outdoor space during cocktail hour, all of my guests commented on how spacious it was and how lovely it looked. While the grounds aren’t the most breathtaking for pictures, they are certainly adequate and we were able to get a lot of great shots. One of parts we loved most about the Amber Room though is the food. Traditionally, I feel like a lot of the weddings you go to serve food in two ways - mediocre food in large quantities or tasty food in small quantities. However, the Amber Room’s food was truly the exception to this. Their food was out of this world and the variety and enormity of the spread they put together was like nothing we’ve ever seen at other weddings. The day after the wedding, my family literally started writing up a list of all the delicious food we ate because we were blown away by it. To name a few (seriously only a few), there was everything from beef empanadas to coconut shrimp (must dip in pina colada sauce!), from lobster risotto balls to sliders, from beef skewers to bacon wrapped scallops, from broccoli quiche to clams casino. My guests are still raving about the food and how delicious it was and how every time they turned around, there was a plate of new tasty treats coming their way! Dinner itself was also fabulous. Portions are very large, but not at the expense of quality. And even with the big portions, most plates I saw getting picked up looked like they had practically been licked clean.Another great part about the Amber Room was the people you work with. Alisha was our main point of contact throughout the process and she was lovely. All of our interactions were always prompt and professional. She is friendly, flexible, and totally willing to work with you on whatever you need. On one occasion towards the end of our planning process, I had mixed up the date that we were supposed to meet with Alisha and when I called to let the Amber Room to let them know I was running late (after already driving for 30 minutes to get there), Dan informed me that we didn’t have a meeting and that unfortunately Alisha wasn’t in. Nevertheless, Dan and Gina said that they would be very happy to meet with us instead. During our meeting, we felt as though they were equally as pleasant and accommodating. And, their willingness to fit us in for a meeting despite my mistake really says a lot about them. On the night of our wedding, Gina was our coordinator and she did a great job of making sure our night went smoothly without ever being intrusive or overbearing. For the reasonable price, you are getting A LOT for your money - lovely, accommodating staff, delicious, plentiful food, and a beautiful, convenient venue. What more could you ask for?

Dorothy Ghiorzo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2018 Absolutely gorgeous and amazing venue!!! The Amber Room is such a beautiful and meticulous place. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Thank you Alisha, Olga and all of the staff of the Amber Room. We had the perfect wedding and we were well taken care of by all of the staff.

Jason Ojeda(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2017 Let me start by saying if there was a 6th star or Elite Star or something like that, they earned it.We had our wedding planned at the Matrix for 09/10/2017. Unfortunately they went bankrupt and the wedding coordinator actually recommended to go to the Amber Room and speak to \"Doug\". We took her recommendation.Doug - he has a sense of ownership, urgency and (1) thing most businessmen lack is heart. Heart into what he does. He never stops smiling, keeps constant communication, very confident and MOST importantly, I didn't rent the Amber Room, I rented Doug! He ensured everything was in place, on time and to perfection in our eyes. Doug, I personally thank you again on this review for truly making our dream come true. Regardless the person, state or year, I will ALWAYS recommend the Amber Room for everything and anything possible because of your services.Gina - She was our banquet manager ensuring everything is going smoothly the day of the wedding. She checked on us literally, like every 10 minutes to make sure we were not in need of anything. I'll give some examples: we were assigned a personal attendant who made sure our glasses were never emptied, a flame for every cigarette I smoked, kept everyone away while me and my newly wife enjoyed our dinner and followed us to ensure we were short of nothing. Gina accommodated lighting, assisting with seating the guest with her team and her team worked effectively with her leadership. Outstanding leadership Gina and commitment to our wedding.Lastly, the establishment is BEAUTIFUL, celestial! If you want to the see the pictures, follow me on IG or FB to see for yourself. Seeing is believe. The front entrance is high class. The landscaping is something from Twilight (the movie). The whole area is big and open for party pictures and amazing background for your photographer to take. Inside, the whole place was re-modeled with new carpet, seats, paint, lighting... everything. I know this because I had my Junior prom, Senior prom and few other events but it never looked this NEW. Other places are nice, but the Amber Room is sexy. There is nothing above sexy folks.I just want to thank Doug, Gina and the entire staff of The Amber Room once again for making our dreams come true with your service and venue.Jason Ojeda and Jennifer Ojeda Reviewed on 14-09-2017

I honestly cannot say enough great things about the Amber Room! I had my wedding on Memorial Day Weekend 2017 and it was more than I could have ever imagined! My now, husband, is stationed in North Carolina, so trying to plan a wedding so far from home was a bit challenging, but Doug made everything so easy and stress free for me. He was accommodating and listened to my needs and wants for my big day and tried everything he could to make it magical! The venue is truly stunning with a modern and classy feel. My guests will NOT stop talking about all of the delicious food, from cocktail hour to our surf and turf entrée and of course the most delicious wedding cake! Brad and Gina were such a huge help in making the room look so beautiful and perfect to exactly how I wanted the centerpieces set up, to the name card table and everything in between. Monica did our Wedding Cake and I had only met with her one time and showed her a picture of exactly how I wanted my cake to look like, and I was more than impressed. My cake was beautiful and more than I expected, let alone how moist and delicious it was. To this day, my guests still talk about that cake. It was truly the best experience I have ever had working with the Amber Room. Doug was there every step of the way and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to hold one of the best days of my life! My wedding was amazing, and it was honestly and truly because of how amazing the Amber Room was and how Doug, Gina, Brad and Monica catered and cared about making my day perfect!

Matthew Gallo(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-04-2018 Do not skip this review. We have so many compliments and praises to sing about the Amber Room that hopefully this review will do enough justice to have you stop by and meet the staff. After planning a wedding, it is obvious that customer service means EVERYTHING and the Amber Room Colonnade proved to be Five star.We had our wedding at the Amber Room on 1/14/2017. We chose the Amber Room because they were refreshingly different than the other 15+ venues we visited in CT/NY(many of which our friends were previously married). The amber room was modern and classy. The impressive reception room was large yet still made the wedding feel intimate. The dance floor was beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous overhanging dark bronze tiled ceiling and crystal chandelier. The absolute highlight and pleasure for us was working with Doug Polistena in planning our winter inspired wedding. He provided imaginative suggestions and options for each of our rudimentary ideas and actually enhanced our vision. They did a great job setting up our centerpieces and decorations for the wedding day. Furthermore, Doug and his staff were available and responsive to our needs. Our guests arrived to a beautiful front entrance and greeted by a locally hired valet service (which is a must during the winter). The cocktail hour was a big hit with mini grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters and other creative passed horderves. Friends and family were sincerely blown away by the reception room that included lounge furniture by the dance floor. One of the biggest hits at wedding is a new age modern “photo booth” called the Magic Mirror. I was never one for pictures but we loved the way the giant interactive touch screen mirror re-invented photo booths. Doug’s attentiveness, attention to detail, and stress free persona made planning our wedding fun and exciting instead of a chore. Doug was able to guide us when we needed help and proved to be a reliable source for recommending some great vendors. The ability of the Amber room to create our vision of a winter theme was beyond impressive.All the best, Matt and Cathy Gallo Reviewed on 09-02-2017

When we met with Alisha she asked us what our budget was and worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted that day. We got married in October and the venue was gorgeous. We could not have gotten married on a prettier day or on prettier grounds. Alisha, Gina, Olga, and the whole staff made sure we were beyond happy and made our dreams come true.

We researched multiple venues first but after careful consideration we decided the Amber Room was absolutely perfect. I come from a 100% Portuguese family & the Amber Room is the only caterer that allowed some Portuguese influence from the outside - some appetizers & desserts. But honestly, without these additional apps & desserts, our guests said there was too much food, which in our culture is exactly what you look for at a wedding. We met with Doug several times over the course of a year & he was always available & always responded to emails & questions very quickly. The reception was absolutely flawless - the entire staff is beyond amazing & organized - we literally didn't have a single thing to worry about. We brought all of our sweetheart table props, favors, hand made menus, etc. a few days before with the intention of setting everything up the night before. But when we arrived, everything was already complete. The details and hard work that went into our reception went above & beyond anything we could have imagined. People are still talking about how this was the best wedding they had ever attended. Food was plentiful, delicious, and everything was super organized and in a timely manner. Olga is outstanding at her job - organized the bridal party the entire evening. Doug is beyond outstanding at his job - organized and detail oriented. Gina is also incredibly hard working. Huge kudos to Chris, the outstanding chef. And Monica, who baked our amazing cake and went by a couple photos I sent Doug for ideas.

It looked elegant and beautiful. The food was also a hit! I still have people coming up to me to talk about how amazing the food at our wedding was.

Besides the great service, the food was phenomenal. SO many people could not believe the abundance of food at cocktail hour, and the quality of steak we had for dinner.

Reneta Chavis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2015 The Amber Room exceeded me and my husbands expectations!!! Prior to visiting the Amber Room I called with a list of question to find out more about this venue. I kept this staff member on the phone for 45 minutes asking multiple questions. The banquet staff was sooo helpful! They answered every question and had patience with me and my questions. After hanging up the phonr o had to go visIt this venue. I feel in LOVE with The Amber Room Colonnade. Meeting the staff in person was beyond amazing! After my husband and I left the venue we both dreamt about the venue and we knew this was the place for us. They made our wedding day a dream. I was a big planner and there were a lot of extras I wanted with my wedding. Doug, and the staff made sure to help all of my dreams come true. I decided to have my wedding outside and was concerned about my bridesmaids heels going into the ground as they walked in the grass. Doug and staff brainstormed and had a floor put down just so my bridesmaids could walk down the aisle comfortably without their high heels slipping into the grass. I would make weekly lists and call to ask questions that Doug and his banquet staff had already either taken care of, or had ideas to offer me for different ideas regarding the wedding. Prior to my wedding my husband and I sat down with the Amber Room staff and went over every single detail of my wedding. From food, to prayers, to who was walking in and when. My husband and I felt so relieved! We had a stress free wedding with amazing delicious endless food, and we chose a venue that made our dreams come true. After our wedding it feels like we are family with the staff at the Amber Room. If you are looking for a venue that goes the extra mile to add the personal touch then I HIGHLY recommend The Amber Room. You will NOT be disappointed. Reviewed on 29-10-2015
Rosemary Espinal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-11-2015 Amber Room Colonnade has been beyond what I expected it to be. I am an upcoming bride (getting married in 10 DAYS!!!! EEEKK!!) And let me tell you how amazing the people at Amber Room are. First off let me say that coming into this whole wedding planning madness, I was put under a LOT of stress, my fiancé and I had just closed on our first home and we spent a lot of time looking at venues that fit our NOW very small budget. Amber Room was the only one that fit our needs. Doug and his team have been working above and beyond to accommodate and most importantly, to make sure that we enjoy the process of planning the wedding (without the stress). Even though our wedding hasn’t happened yet, I feel calm and confident that everything will turn out exactly how I envisioned it, and that confidence only comes from the great service you get from Doug and his team. I am so happy we chose to have our big day at The Amber Room. It has made this experience that much more enjoyable. So thank you Doug and your fabulous team for making this process stress free! :) XOXO Reviewed on 27-10-2015
Neal Patel(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-07-2015 My wife and I had our wedding here back in July 2015. The venue is beautiful and very spacious. The grounds have so many great photo locations. We had a Hindu wedding. The staff was on top of things we didn't even think about. Everything was on time. We never realized how much the staff at a venue would help out. The day schedule was made weeks in advanced by the General Manager and Banquet Manager. We had the Amber Room provide the breakfast menu. We had outside catering for lunch and dinner. The kitchen staff was very helpful and ensured a smooth experience. The food came out on time. We had the venue for a whole day and did not have a single problem throughout the whole event. Transforming the Amber Room from breakfast to lunch to dinner went very well. All of our guests loved the experience. Reviewed on 27-10-2015
Julie Janofsky(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2015 When the Amber Room said they could customize our wedding they went above and beyond to deliver a magical evening surpassing our expectations. My husband Bart and I got married at the Amber Room on October 3, 2015. We didn't want a cookie-cutter traditional wedding, but rather a cocktail-styled party with food served throughout the night and a classy nightclub feel. From our first meeting with Doug all the way through to the end of the reception with Olga they didn't leave a detail unturned. They took their time to understand our vision and brought it to life. We were supposed to get married outside, but due to inclement weather from a hurricane they turned the tented patio into a romantic ceremony site and were able to change the space, full of guests, into a fancy cocktail hour seamlessly. We continue to hear how great the food was from our guests who were especially impressed with the quality and variety of appetizers during the cocktail hour. Our reception continued inside where large tables were mixed with lounge furniture and food stations were scattered throughout the room. We were super impressed by the cake, which was made on site. It's rare to have a wedding cake that is both beautiful and delicious but the Amber Room did both. From a bride and groom prospective… The planning process was made easy and even fun thanks to Doug. The event staff the night of the wedding was always right there to help, very attentive but never overwhelming. We cannot say enough good things about the staff, whose professionalism was through the roof. You could tell how much pride they have in putting together an amazing event, and how much they really care about their clients. We would HIGHLY recommend the Amber Room to anyone… from the most traditional to the most outside the box. Thank you again to Doug, Olga, Gina and the entire staff. Reviewed on 21-10-2015

My husband and I held our wedding at The Amber Room in September of 2015. We could not have made a better choice. The venue itself is lovely – with beautiful, well manicured grounds, stone terraces and plenty of unique picture opportunities. \r\rEnough cannot be said about the General Manager, Doug. He took care of us as though we were family – throughout the entire process and right down to the tiniest detail on the day of our wedding. For example, we had purchased a personalized runner, which we ended up not being able to use as we decided to get married outside in the grass. Doug made a point to find an alternate use for it – ultimately hanging it behind our cake himself. It made for a beautiful backdrop and was a special added touch we did not anticipate. His thoughtfulness was extraordinary. \r\rWe, and our guests, also cannot stop talking about the food. Our guests were remarking about it all night. The chef, Chris, is a master of his craft. The variety and quality of the passed hors d'oeuvres was exceptional and the main course was served to perfection. We had several entrée choices and all were superb. Many guests ended up taking food home as they were so full but didn’t want such delicious food to go to waste. The Amber Room was also flexible enough to create a personalized appetizer course for us. \r\rThe pastry chef, Monica, is also a hidden treasure. Our wedding cake was as delicious as it was lovely, with one of the most unique fillings I’ve ever tasted – our guests are still asking where they can find it! She also created pastry trays with the most delectable little treats including cake pops, mini tarts, éclairs, and custard cups – all of which were truly amazing. \r\rIn short, the team at the Amber Room was not only supremely talented but they were warm, welcoming, flexible and truly dedicated to creating a memorable experience for us and our guests. \r Reviewed on 05-10-2015
