BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!! Buona Sera Palazzo with Mike at the helm is an awesome combination. By all accounts, we had an exceptional wedding for 180 people Aug, 2015. The venue is spectacular. It’s new, its beautiful, has a massive chandelier and a large dance floor and it was a great value. Every single detail of our wedding was perfect. All of our guests were blown away by the food and have not stopped talking about how delicious everything was. My husband is a chef so he is very critical about food and he did not have one single complaint. People were amazed at the variety and amount of food during the cocktail hour. Mike and the entire staff are very friendly and easy to work with. I had several vegetarians, vegans, and guests with gluten allergies and Mike was able to make every single one of them happy. Mike made every step of the planning process run smoothly. He was always just a phone call, text message, or email away with the answer to any question we could possibly think of. He had so many great ideas and little pieces of advice that I would never have thought of on my own. No questions went unanswered and all our requests were accommodated. On the day of the wedding, he made sure the bridal party remembered to eat and when he noticed that my husband and I were too excited to eat he packaged up two full dinners for us to take to our hotel. He also made sure to save a handful of pork roll sandwiches from our To Go station for my husband and me. The sandwiches at the end of the wedding were a huge hit and all of our guests loved them! If you are planning a wedding, you should contact Mike. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and the facility and staff were excellent! Overall, I literally could never have dreamt of a more perfect wedding and I would definitely recommend this venue to any future bride.

As one guest said to me, our wedding at Buona Sera Palazzo was actually MORE THAN 5 STARS! PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY! My guests cant stop talking about the food and neither can we! Before we even booked our wedding, Mike insisted on a tasting which was out of this world. He let us customize every aspect of our wedding but also offered helpful tips along the way. From cocktail hour, to the reception, to our dessert bar and wedding cake, the food was beyond our wildest dreams -- in fact 3! guests told us that their filet mignon was better than the steak at a local upscale steakhouse -- we agreed! Overall, our wedding was literally beyond our expectations and will have people talking for years to come. The service was impeccable -- Michael, our maitre d, made sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout the night from before the ceremony to our final goodbyes. Through out the process, someone was available to answer any questions we had and we were treated like family every step of the way. Besides the incredible food and impeccable service, the venue is jaw dropping and our pictures are stunning! We wish we could do it all over again! Thank you for making our dreams come true!

We cant say enough about Buona Sera Palazzo... Mike, Megan and the entire staff is absolutely amazing... They are so easy to work with and made time to answer all my questions. We were blown away the minute we walked inside... From the food, to the service, to how perfectly decorated the room was- it was incredible! I didnt even make it to the bridal suite without the staff congratulating me by name. I didnt even sit down before Jen came in with a huge smile, introducing herself and asking what we needed. There was never a second that our drinks were even half empty or we didnt have a plate of delicious food in front of us. The food was unbelievable- I wish I could say we tried everything but there was SO much. As we walked over to table by table, people were raving about the food. We received numerous compliments about every aspect- the food, the staff, the bar, the ambiance, Megan and Mike. Not one person had anything negative to say. Our guests left saying this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our bridal party left jealous that they did not have their wedding here. We dont think we will ever be able to thank them enough for again making this a night we will never forget.

Our wedding was May 20th it was absolutely amazing not 1 issue. From the moment we walked in we knew we were having our wedding there. It was our 1st and last stop. Mike and Megan made the process totally painless from that day til the day after. Nothing I asked for was ever a no their answer was ALWAYS YES!!!!! The food was endless and amazing!!!!! We had a peanut allergy a dairy allergy and a vegan and they personally took care of all of them. Our guest are still complimenting on how they were impressed that they took a temperature for their filet mignon and it came out perfect and the lobster was cooked perfectly..... for an occasion over 150 thats incredible. We are still getting calls about the cocktail hour the main dinner Venetian hour and the to go station...... my wedding cake was FABULOUS it wasnt dry it wasnt skimpy it was flavorful and just melted in your mouth.... I cant wait to eat it again on my first anniversary !!!!! The service was impeccable and they couldnt do enough for Carl and I. We really felt like part of the family and will have future occasions there for sure! They are attentive, detailed, and warm. Im going to miss them until the next time xoxo Carl and Jen

Our names are Abby and Gene we got married on May 14, 2016 at the Buona Sera Palazzo. We can honestly say this venue made our special day become a fairy tale. The staff is extraordinary , they are very respectful, helpful, professional, and very kind! I never experienced a staff like this one, they are one in a million! I was a nervous bride, Mike and Meghan took care of everything and calmed me down every step of the way , there are no words to describe the staff here. The Palazzo is a gorgeous place for a any event, but picture perfect for a wedding. Their food is amazing, which our wedding guests are still talking about. The feedback from our guests were more directed to how great and attentive the staff was, how beautiful the Buona Sera Palazzo was , and like we say before how amazing the food was. I would highly recommend the Buona Sera Palazzo. It was better then we ever imagined our wedding to be. - Love the happy newlyweds

Loved loved loved our experience with Buona Sera Palazzo & staff. We had gotten married on May 29, 2016. From the beginning to the end of our journey to our wedding day was seamless & perfect! Big Mike & Megan ensured everything went off without a hitch. They were warm & caring & made sure we had everything we needed. The day of the venue looked exactly how I pictured it in my head. Everyone that attended our wedding said that it was one of the best weddings theyve been to! We wanted our wedding to be one big fun party & they did just that. The food was excellent, the drinks were on point, the music was great, & the staff was always attentive. We will for sure be booking parties with them in the future at their other venues (Buona Sera Restaurant in Red Bank & The Berkley Hotel in Asbury Park)! Thank you Big Mike, Megan, & the staff for helping our wedding become what our dreams were made of!
