I was here for my sister's wedding last weekend. Let me start off by giving my honest opinion as a wedding coordinator. Ive seen it all. This place is a very basic, and generic wedding venue. The staff was not friendly at all. The food was absolutely aweful. The potatoes were hard and unseasoned. Asparagus/green beans were hard. Salmon was mushy and bland. The steaks that came out looked extremely unappetizing and had a wet look to them. They were pale and not cooked properly. Even a simple wedge salad was bad. We were eating the kids chicken tenders, thats how bad it was. The quality of the food is absolutely poor. Down to the ranch dressing, it tasted like the cheap grocery store brand. I'm shocked at all the reviews on here and their Google page. For couples who want an upscale atmosphere to celebrate their big day, this is not it. The carpets are aweful and the room looks drab and rundown. The only positive thing I can say is that the bartenders are generous with the alcohol and the drinks were strong. I will not be recommending this place for any future clients. I wish I was able to leave 0 stars. Reviewed on 10-09-2023

Michelle Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2019 Had my wedding reception her June 29th 2019. Everything was run smoothly and perfect. It rained, and they didn't hesitate to last minute use their indoor parlor to let us get pictures done. Guests told me the food was amazing, they kept raving about the salmon. Staff was phenomenal. A great affordable party for us on the best day ever! Thanks Gus and team!! Gus is very knowledgeable in the wedding industry and was very helpful and trustworthy. He worked great with the rental company I hired to do our decor. We rented the Roosevelt room which was so nice and lots of space for our 120 guests or so. Buffet was delicious. Cake was delicious and included in package! We did butter cream with vanilla and cream cheese filling. soooo good. Just be advised that they are a bit strict with certain decor and ideas - they will not put their facility in danger of any damage whatsoever. So nothing can hang from ceiling, no candelabras lit (unless enclosed by glass), no sports-related activities allowed inside. Reviewed on 06-09-2019

James Chandler(groom)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 We loved the venue and staff upon our 1st visit. We emailed the Maitre'd a few times with no reply regarding questions, so we emailed the owner and made 2 calls to get a response. About a month before the wedding again my wife emailed the Maitre'd to discuss the food since we haven't heard from them. We were under the impression we would have a tasting but they don't do separate tastings you have to come to a group one & pay $35 a person. We misunderstood but the attitude that came from Meredith the Maitre'd was uncalled for! She spoke to my wife as if she was an idiot! For the rehearsal again just very short & rude. She toured the room with me while my wife was downstairs even though I said can we please discuss this with her & then rushed through the rehearsal and left when we still had questions. The day of the wedding it was even worse. She was yelling & kept disappearing. At one point she looked at me and my wife while doing pictures and said \" are you going to keep taking pictures or go enjoy your cocktail hour\" I'm not sure why she thinks its professional to speak to clients in this manner. Our one table was wrong & I personally asked her to get the 2 chairs that were missing she never came back so after 15 minutes of my boss standing I went & located 2 chairs myself. Even her staff was complaining. She was rude to our vendors & guests. She seemed like she wanted nothing to do with our wedding! My wife hid herself when the guests showed up because we didn't know where to go and yet again where is Meredith. After the ceremony she took my wife's picture of her deceased mother and put it face down on a random table when we had a whole memory table set up so my wife grabbed the picture and placed it where it belonged. Worst part we were the 1st wedding so there was no one else being attended too. As the night started to end she actually argued with the maid of honor because they mistakenly took our etched wine glass that said Mrs. & she argued they did not have it and the glasses are the glasses they supply. The maid of honor said it's missing & can you please just look we are standing right next to the kitchen what is the big deal. This continued for another 2 minutes until she just went and looked and there is the GLASS! As we leave two of the waitresses get into a fight! We left so quick to just get away that we didn't even get our cake. My wife wrote a review not including ANY of the above complaints because she honestly just wanted an apology on the way we were treated in regards to Meredith. The owner called and apologized and said she is going through some things but it’s unacceptable and offered to send us a pastry platter for any upcoming holiday parties we may have as an apology. We were happy he called & wanted to move on. I'm assuming Meredith did not appreciate our review and decided to continue her ignorance. She disputed the review which is just ignorant. But to make matters even WORSE she actually had the AUDACITY to call our DJ and request he write a rebuttal to our review and say we were lying so she could have the review deleted permanently. He couldn’t believe she was bullying him into lying so she could delete our review. I mean why go to that extreme to have a review deleted? We now have to send check receipts to the website to prove we actually booked with Presidential! My wife worked so hard on this wedding and to have it turn out like this and be treated like this is disgusting. Reviewed on 08-11-2018

Leah Fishbourne(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2017 We loved everything about Presidential from the very first meeting which was checking out the venue and discussing costs, an overview. I was in a horrible accident three weeks before our wedding. Our wedding date was significant to us because it was the date we met 14 years ago. Changing the date wasn’t an option on our end. Gus and Meredith both offered a date change but we declined. From the day they heard about the accident until the day I walked into the the venue in my wedding dress they were more than accommodating. Everything was beautiful for our wedding day. I was able to use the elevator to go up to our reception room and all of our guests cannot stop talking about the food, the beautiful set up and environment and how great the service was. Thank you Gus and daughters for making our day magical!! Reviewed on 20-01-2018
Stephen Norris(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 The Presidential was everything we wanted for our big day, and more. We booked a couple years in advance to prepare for our finances, and they were very accommodating by keeping us at that year's rate. Gus and Meredith went over all of our options, explaining exactly what came with the package, and answered all of our questions by phone and e-mail whenever we needed them. The food was simply amazing - my wife and I refused to miss out on cocktail hour mingling, and we were assigned an assistant for the night who brought us snacks, dinner and drinks whenever we needed them. The meats, veggies, hors d'ouvres, well drinks - everything was above and beyond our expectations. While we were intending on using the gazebo for an outdoor ceremony, our weekend was unfortunately hit with rainfall. Gus was ready during the week, and prepared a spot in one of the unused banquet rooms with a beautiful set of covered chairs and altar area. I can't recommend the Presidential enough. Visit them and see for yourself! Reviewed on 05-09-2017

Crystal Moll(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2015 From the initial meeting, the updated communication, to the wedding day itself; every part of our experience with Presedential was positive. Gus really does his best to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and secure in going with his family's company. His daughters were also very good at seeing they meet your expectations. The venue itself was beautiful! As soon as you walk into the building and then into your designated room there is a wow factor! We saved a lot of money by choosing this vendor. Everything is all inclusive aside from a photographer and DJ. We had a great experience with Platinum DJ's Mike Pitti, one of Presedential's preffered vendors. We had our own photographer and our own centerpieces made by a close family friend. We also brought our own essentials (cake topper, knives, sign in book, card box, personal photos, etc) that the crew at Presedential laid out for us. Our ceremony items were repurposed and the food was pretty decent although I didnt have much time to eat while running around greeting guests! Presedential did make sure the bride and groom were served first and continuously asked that we were okay and feeling satisfied. We felt like king and queen. Out of all the stressors leading up to our big day, Gus and his team were not a stressor in anyway. In fact they made us feel very comfortable and were there for every step of the process. We could not have asked for a better day!! If I could recommend any vendor it would be Presedential Caterers for your wedding day. Dont waste your money with other greedy vendors. The process is so beautiful through Presedential! Reviewed on 02-06-2015

Paula Barilotti(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-08-2013 From the time I first stepped foot in the Presidential to check out this venue for my daughters wedding I knew this was where we were going to spend their special day. I really felt welcomed when Gus the owner made us feel like we were the only wedding there that day. He is very thorough with how him and his family run your party. he is very very organized and made everything perfect. it was a smooth sail from start to finish. From the food to the flowers it was so great. I have a friend who had their daughters wedding there about 5 years ago and recommended us to them. Their other daughter was getting married and chose the Presidential for her venue and I couldn't figure out why she would want to get married the same place her sister did. Well by the end of the night I knew exactly why. I will recommend Gus and his family at the Presidentail Caterers to anyone! Reviewed on 28-08-2013
Victoria Clair(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2013 I can't say enough about how wonderful Presidential Caterers was for my wedding! Gus was kind and accomodating. We met several times to go over details. Each time Gus was flexible and offered advice for various situations or details we hadn't considered. Additionally, Gus's daughter who is the pastry chef for the venue offered to make a very unique cake we requested for an additional fee. We were very happy with the result and have received numerous compliments about the venue and the cake already! Even our photographer said she had never seem a cake like ours! I'd also like to add that the portions were very generous for dinner and I heard from guests that there were plenty of appetizers during cocktail hour. The dessert table was my favorite part though!!

Rebecca Jochum(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-07-2013 My husband and I had our wedding reception at Presidential Caterers on July 6, 2013. It was a perfect venue for our big celebration. The bridal party was welcomed during cocktail hour with food and drinks. Meredith even helped my sister bustle my complicated dress without having to ask. Presidential Caterers is a family run business and they were all honest with us from start to finish. They know what they are doing and can be trusted to make your event as smooth as possible. With any big event there are things bound to happen that are unforeseen but Gus and his family helped us roll with the punches because they've done this so many times before. I recommend Presidential Caterers to any bride and groom looking for an accomodating, affordable, honest, delicious, family-friendly venue for their wedding reception! No regrets, we enjoyed every minute :-) Reviewed on 13-07-2013

shari cardillo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2012 My husband and I were married on 9/15/12. We had our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Presidential Caterers. What an amazing day we had! From the moment we called for our first appointment, to the end of our Wedding evening, everything was PERFECT! Gus and his entire staff were so helpful through the entire process. He always made me feel at ease when my stress level was at its highest point. He always assured me that everything was going to be GREAT, and it was. The venue was beautiful and the food was AMAZING! The price was right too! Our guest are still telling us how much fun they had and how wonderful the food was. The Dessert Table was incredible. There were so many elegant desserts to choose from, you didn't know which one to pick first. We had a live band, and the room was a perfect size for them and the sound in the room was awesome, our guests danced all night. Presidential Caterers also has beautiful areas for photos, inside and out. Our beautiful wedding day will always be cherished because of our Family, Friends and Presidential Caterers.

Megan Collier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2012 We knew as soon as we walked into Presidential Caterers that we would have our wedding at this venue. As a matter of fact, we didn't even look at any other venues after meeting with them. Presidential is family owned and operated and their extensive experience in the wedding reception industry positions them as a trustworthy, honest and genuine venue to do business with.\r\rI love that Presidential staff was swift to respond to all of inquiries. Sometimes, being a Bride, it can seem like we are being asked so many questions by our families, and Gus and his staff where there to answer every single one.\r\rThe Presidential does host multiple weddings on a staggered schedule, but you would never even know. They treat you as if you are the only event they are hosting, with an extensive staff exclusively for your room, a banquet manager, and Gus and his family are present through the entire event. I've worked in events and entertainment for years and I've never seen or experienced anything quite like it. They make you feel special, heard and the center of attention. They also assure that you and your Bridal Party have your own attendant and are waited on from beginning to end.\r\rWe had a very clear budget for a guest list of about 200 people and Presidential was able to come in at a very affordable price. The all-inclusive nature of their wedding package was beyond our expectations. Not only did it save us money, but it removed so many tasks from our planning list. From food, to centerpieces, to the wedding cake, we were just beyond thrilled with everything that Presidential Caterers provided us with!\r\rOur guests were also very very impressed with Presidential Caterers menu. The food was SO delicious. The Dessert table was enormous and the table settings looked gorgeous.\r\rIf you want to host an event that you, your family, and your guests will remember for years to come, go with the Presidential and you will be beyond thrilled with the celebration of your marriage!!!

Sandra Porzill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2012 The Food\rMy husband and I jokingly consider ourselves “food snobs” because our favorite activity is going out to fancy restaurants and cooking from scratch at home. I have even taken classes at the International Culinary Institute to become a food critic. Our biggest concern about finding a venue was that we were afraid that we were going to be disappointed by the traditional “rubbery chicken.” Presidential could not be any further from that!! \r\rAll of our guest were absolutely delighted at how juicy and succulent all of the proteins were, how the side dishes were not overlooked and had great seasoning, and how extensive and delicious the appetizers were, etc. Our guests went out of the their way that night to tell us it was one of the best meals that have had in a long time, let alone at a wedding. To add icing on the cake, even the people in our family who were very picky eaters loved the food. The dessert table was included which never happens in other venues and it really made our wedding look and taste that much more impressive – and OMG was it good! \r\rAccommodating Service\rWe had bought a special cake topper that had a bridge on it and the pastry chef Jen completely customized our cake so that we could use it and it looked more beautiful than we ever imagined it could. I wanted the head Chef to add fresh basil and sage to some of the dishes as garnishes and they were happy to do it and included it at no extra cost! The owner Gus was also sooo helpful and answered all of my questions and let me take a look around every time I went in there for a meeting. I couldn’t be any happier at the end of the night at the food servers too, and we loved that we had our own personal waiter the whole night. \r\rThe Atmosphere\rThe pictures on their website do not do them any justice. The place is truly beautiful and more than impressive inside. Everyone said “wow” just as they were walking in. With the price of everything being included… flowers, apps, soup or fruit, salad, entrees, booze, cake and a pastry table, I can promise that after looking at seriously about 30 other venues, nothing compared to the grandeur of the location or the taste of the food, and absolutely none one else could touch Presidential on the value of the price. \r\rWe looked at a lot of other venues before we looked at Presidential Caterers; I guess we saved the best for last! I would highly suggest having your wedding there! Thank you so much to everyone there!!!! The day was a dream come true!!! :) Reviewed on 01-08-2012

I wish I could relive it over and over again, and if I did, I would choose Presidential! \r\rIf anything went wrong, I didn't know about it.

When we visited Gus approximately one year ago, he greeted us with enthusiam and professionalism. He was so wonderful and helpful, and provided us with a wide variety of selections from everything to flowers, table settings, food, wedding cakes, as well as information on disc jockeys and florists. (Gus even gave us a taste-testing evening. We were able to choose what we wanted for our 7 courses - which wasn't easy. The food is delicious and beautifully presented.) Gus had all the answers to our questions. He has been in the business for years, and knows what he is doing. My family has been doing business with Gus for over 40 years, and will continue. My daughter's wedding was just lovely and at a price that was affordable. Presidential Caterers is just a beautiful, magnificant venue. The bridal suite at the top of the long, winding staircase was just perfect - we loved every minute of our gala event. Gus and his staff treated us beautifully.

If you're looking for something a little different, this is NOT the place. The worst part is, you'll feel like all has been worked out and the owner is like your surrogate father, and then he'll turn ruthless shark and he'll do it the week before your wedding and you'll end up paying considerably more than you thought because you have no other choice and he won't care because he knows you have no other option.
