Mary Hargrove(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2020 Our wedding day Oct 3, 2020 was an absolute success! We made the absolute right choice in choosing Mariani's Venue. We rearranged this entire facility to make our magical dream a reality and it all happened. Mr. Mariani got up early mornings and stayed late nights to help make all of this happen. All the excitement got Mr. Marini's wife and the staff involved. The staff was the best. I still get calls on how delicious the food was. Our experience at Marianis Venue os one we will rememner forever. We will recommend this Venue to all couples in the days to come. Reviewed on 27-10-2020
Liza Dwyer(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-03-2020 Didn't like how the owner was rude the day of the wedding, added little extras on for a cost (like the outside chairs and only telling us this a few weeks before the wedding), food wasn't that good at all especially for the price, was sexist (claimed that ironing was a woman's job), claiming we'd have tablecloths would be cleaned and steamed by the time we were there to decorate but they weren't. It took us hours to get the tablecloths wrinkle free with the iron (that we brought from home- didn't even have a steamer to use). Reviewed on 30-05-2020
Lisa Oxendine(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-11-2019 Mariani's Venue is a beautiful location for an event. My daughter's wedding was held in the back courtyard of Mariani's Venue on 11/23/19. The view was stunning with the fountain spraying water over the lake. Inside for the reception the indoor waterfall was soothing and added a great spot for photos in addition to the staircase leading from the mezzanine area. All of our guests loved the food and upscale atmosphere. Days later we continue to receive positive comments about the stunning appearance of the venue and the food. Mr Mariani is great to work with. He strives to reduce stress by anticipating ways to remove challenges that tend to be a part of event planning and hosting. He clearly explained the contract and there were no unexpected fees. His staff was also great to work with before and during the wedding and reception. I highly recommend Mariani's Venue for events. Reviewed on 25-11-2019
Alicia Fontenette(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-04-2018 The venue is breathtaking!Mr. Mariani was very accommodating to our needs and went the extra mile. The only issue I had was the confusion about dinner. I was originally told to not worry about getting a head count, but then I was told I needed a count...about a week before the wedding. Even with the headcount, several guests had to wait over 30 minutes to be served. Other than that, this place is amazing! I would do it all over again and encourage anybody else to use Mariani’s Venue. You will not regret it! Reviewed on 18-06-2019

Sophia Salzano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 I had my wedding at Mariani's and it was absolutely perfect. The staff was quick to serve our food, which was delicious! The bartender made our drinks perfectly. What blew me away was that the food was included in the price we paid! We couldn't find that with all the other venues we looked at. We had our wedding outside in front of the lake which made for beautiful pictures. We had the option to hold it inside incase then weather was bad.The whole process of paying and planning was flawless and stress free. Mr. Mariani was very quick to respond and answered all of our questions we had within just a few minutes!! Mr. Mariani is a very sweet man and was running around taking photos of my wedding!! Which I think is awesome!I recommend anyone planning a wedding to hold it at Mariani's. Reviewed on 24-10-2018
Renee Boyd(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-06-2018 I am very pleased with Mariani’s Venue. I had my wedding there June 30, 2018. The manager was very helpful and kind to me! We had a Cinderella horse carriage ride me into the wedding and it was the icing on the cake! I couldn’t of picked a better venue! The food is excellent! He lets you have full control of decorations. There is a cash bar available. I suggest getting the $25 champagne he has available for you and your wedding party! If you do get it, I promise you’ll want to get another bottle! That’s coming from someone that hates champagne. I fully recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Pembroke, NC area. Reviewed on 04-07-2018
Kathleen Hallberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-04-2018 I just had my wedding there on April 21st. It was beautiful. The food was excellent, the space was perfect, and everyone simply loved everything about the venue and the food. Mr. Mariani was so accommodating to allowing me and my wedding planner to visit the venue several times before the wedding and was absolutely professional and nice. I am not a rich person, but having my wedding there made me feel like I spent a fortune on my wedding when in actuality I didn't. His price included everything available and was a price that I could afford, and no hidden fees or extra charges for anything. I would highly reccomend this venue for any event you might have. You won't regret it. Reviewed on 24-04-2018
Kristina Hudson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-12-2017 Let me just start by saying that Mariani's Venue is hands down the absolute perfect place to hold your wedding or really any event you may be planning. Not only is it a great deal as it includes a beautiful venue with many different beautiful places to take photos inside and out. it also includes 3 choices of food that were so delicious it left us wanting 2nd and 3rds!! If that is not enough please know that Mr. Mariani goes out of his way to accommodate and make sure that your day is special. We ran into a major snag with my daughters wedding when the food we have ordered for the cocktail hour never showed up. Mr. Mariani went above and beyond by frying up to giant batches of chicken wings for our guest to enjoy while waiting for photos to end at no extra cost to us. If you are looking for a great place with great food and service at a really great price, this is the venue for you!! Reviewed on 04-12-2017
Anonymous (wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-02-2018 We held our dad's 75th birthday party and retirement party at Mariani's restaurant in November. We had lots of room for the 100 guest in attendance. We actually could have hosted up to 300 people easily. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was gorgeous. The outside area is really awesome too! It has a little pond beside the restaurant, perfect background for gorgeous wedding/prom pictures. My dad was so excited and all the guest seemed truly pleased. The price for the venue was the best value I found anywhere and the cost including the food was cheaper than I could have done on my own. Thank you Mariani's for being such great host! I'm going to recommend that our class reunions be held at this location simply because of the courteous hospitality we were shown. I also like the way you answered my questions about the facility as well. Reviewed on 14-12-2016
Kelly Jackson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-09-2012 This venue is exquisite! There is great space on the inside and I absolutely love the patio area in the back. The food is excellent and Mr. and Mrs. Mariani and Sam are great to work with. If I had to do it all over again (which I definitely don't plan to) I would choose them over and over again. Mariani's Restaurant did not disappoint! Reviewed on 29-09-2012
