My daughter had her wedding and reception at LaBeLaVera. I have to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had with a venue. They were professional, kind, helpful, friendly and most importantly reasonably priced for all that you receive. Everything was beautiful. I most definitely recommend them. Sam and his staff went above and beyond. Reviewed on 13-06-2023
Marina Frandanisa(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-12-2022 AMAZING. Hands down the best wedding food of all time. Carl and Holly are the best to work with. These two and their team went above and beyond for us. Appetizers, main course, cake/dessert, late night food. Everything was top notch. Our guests raved all night about the food. This place is a home run hire for any couple looking for a wedding caterer. Not only amazing food, but great people to work with who will do everything they can for you. Reviewed on 23-02-2023
Melissa Michael(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 I booked this venue specifically cause I knew it was the best! I’ve been to a couple weddings here already and they’ve been around for quite a while for good reason. The food is the absolute best.

Paige Posante(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2021 Anthony and the entire team at Lovera was so amazing to work with. We were one of the many couples that had to change our date. They were so accommodating and understanding and made it as less stress as possible. We got so many compliments on the food and the service during our reception. The hall was absolutely beautiful and set up just how we would have imagined. Working with a family run establishment was amazing and I would recommend them to everyone. Reviewed on 06-06-2021
Danielle Crook(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-08-2020 Got married at the end of August 2020 (prime COVID time). La-Vera was so easy to work with and did amazing work. Even though we did have restrictions we needed to follow, the wedding felt as normal and amazing as could be. The food was delicious and the staff nice and accommodating. As with most halls I know of, we did have to set up all the tables ourselves the night before and tear down and pack up ourselves the night of the wedding. Reviewed on 07-04-2021
Imani Phifer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-02-2020 I sooo highly recommend this venue for your wedding or any event. They were very devoted to helping my husband and I get the vision we wanted for our wedding. They're even willing to negotiate pricing. We got so much thrown in at a very reasonable price. They even provide catering and full bar service. I will definitely use them again 😊 Reviewed on 18-04-2020

Tara Hopkins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2019 We recently used La Vera Party Center for our wedding reception on 10/4/19 and we cannot say enough good things! When we booked with La Vera, I felt an immediate ease in our planning process. Anthony and his team took care of every detail and took so much stress off our shoulders. They set up all the center pieces and decor (they have center pieces included in the package to use as well if you don't have your own!). The food was AMAZING. They have so many great options and easily accommodated everything our guests needed in terms of food restrictions. Service was prompt and you can tell they have been doing this for a while. They are experts at running events like this and we can honestly say we had NO issues the day of our wedding. Communication leading up to the wedding was easy and we never had any issues reaching or meeting with them. Anthony and his team were so kind to meet or call and talk through ALL the questions I had throughout the months leading up to the wedding. I am beyond thrilled that we ended up deciding to book with them because it made planning and execution of the day so much easier on us. We HIGHLY recommend them for weddings and any other type of event or catering you need. We are still hearing from our guests how wonderful the reception was and that is a large testament to La Vera and the work they did for us. Reviewed on 25-10-2019
juliet walker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-11-2018 We got married on November 17, 2018 and it was the best wedding! Everytime we see someone who attended the wedding they are raving about the food, atmosphere, and saying it is one of the best weddings they have ever been to. The owners are the nicest people who want nothing more than to make your day the most amazing day ever! Everything was just the way I imagined and they took care of every detail.

Tabitha Taylor(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 Anthony is amazing and works well with you he is very understanding and accommodating with what ever he can help you with. They pay for your cake but be sure to do a taste test before hand. I had a bad experience with my cake for the wedding reception it was not done in the middle of the bottom tier ;( my family and I were very disappointed because we LOVE cake. There was no refund given because it was gifted through La Vera's . Overall I loved LaVera's I hired a decorator and everything was beautiful and the food was bomb.com!! You cannot go wrong with the lemon butter chicken. Reviewed on 08-10-2018
Stephanie Strelnik(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2018 We had our wedding at La Vera 9-8-18. We cannot say enough good things about this place and the wonderful people there. If you want to have a venue where you don't want to worry about anything, this is the place. Anthony and his family were amazing during the entire wedding process. He met with us and allowed us to come in as many times as we want/needed for planning our wedding or just asking questions. Anything we wanted, Anthony allowed. He made the entire thing so much less stressful. He allowed us to bring in all of our decorations a few days before. We were in the crystal room and it was beautiful! Anthony has the Chiavari chairs for all of the tables that are included in booking with him (which was an additional cost for those chairs at every other venue we had looked at prior). Another unique thing about this venue is that they allow you to bring your own alcohol, which is a huge bonus! They are also very flexible, and will extend your hall time if you choose to keep the party going. Staff assists with set-up and take down and all of the linens were included. Another benefit is that our cake was included in the hall fee and it too was not only beautiful, but so delicious! All of the food was absolutely amazing and all of our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! Anything we wanted, Anthony made happen. Anthony offers an ice bar, which we had never heard of before, but it was worth every penny. It Is a total eye catcher, and we filled it with open crab legs/claws, ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and sushi. They had even made us a plate for our table to make sure we got to try everything. Anthony even coached us on how to cut the cake when he saw us visibly struggling. He also gave a really nice, short speech during our wedding. You really cannot go wrong with this place. Everything from beginning to end with them was amazing and they helped make the entire day and process way less stressful. I would recommend La Vera to anybody. Reviewed on 04-10-2018

Alainee Calo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2018 Choosing La Vera as my reception venue was the single best decision i made for our wedding. It made everything easy! They include the food, the bartenders, the cake, the linens and napkins, the centerpieces... They were extremely flexible when any changes needed to be made in terms of timing as well. The food was absolutely amazing. We chose family style, and my guests were stuffed to the brim! The staff and owners were so nice and treated everybody like family. Great prices! They are located very close to hotels which made shuttle service easy. The crystal room is absolutely beautiful, and they did a great job of setting up all my decorations I brought along. Plenty of room for the tables and the dance floor. Thanks again! Reviewed on 24-06-2018
Stephanie B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-12-2017 Recently had our wedding this past December at La Vera Party Center. It only took 5 minutes after meeting Anthony to know La Vera was the right hall for us. He is so laid back, easy to work with, professional and does not pressure you at all -- which was important to us. Felt like working with family when working with Anthony. We booked the crystal room which is absolutely stunning! It was everything we were looking for – elegant, classy and just beautiful. The food was beyond phenomenal and was all homemade. Our guests would not stop complimenting us on how beautiful the hall was and how delicious he food was. Anthony and his staff made our wedding day run so smoothly that we did not have to worry about anything because Anthony had it covered.

Annie Ayers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-08-2017 We recently had our wedding reception in the Tuscan Room at La Vera Party Center. The food and service were great, and Anthony and his staff worked hard to ensure that all of our needs were met on our big day! We had a wide variety of decorations, pictures, etc. to set up and it all looked wonderful for the big event. They were easy to work with and flexible in the months leading up to the wedding.The only minor issue we ran into was that they agreed (with our lighting vendor) to plug in the light for our monogram before the reception began. The light was never plugged in, so we didn't get to see/use the monogram during the reception. Again, this was a minor issue that my husband and I only realized the day after the reception.All in all, La Vera is a family owned and operated business that prides itself on its quality service - we were very pleased with how everything turned out and our guests raved about the venue and food!

Other locations we were looking at were charging approximately 50+ dollars per person to try their food.\r\rAnthony always got right back to me with any questions that I had. The food on our wedding night was unbelievable! We ate family style and each meal came out promptly after the other. The guests were commenting how delicious the salad dressing, the pasta sauce, the potatoes, the beef tenderloin and the chicken were!

He is very accommodating and will work hard to make things perfect for the big night. Food is excellent, great menu to choose from. We did family style. The cake is included in the overall price, and is made by local bakery. It was delicious and all my guests raved about it. We also chose the option with the pastry spread, homemade desserts by la vera. That was a huge hit. The room is beautiful in its own right, and our added touched with centerpieces looked great. We got the chair cover option which really adds an elegant look to the room. We were responsible for bringing our own alcohol, which saved us a lot of money. If we ran out of a specific thing, we could purchase a backup bottle from the venue. This helped a lot. At the end of the evening all the leftover food, cake and alcohol are packed up ready to be sent home. The staff was a pleasure to work with, from the beginning days of our planning, right til the very end of our wedding night. I would recommend every bride to be to look into La Vera.
