“I cannot say enough how amazing from start to finish our experience was with Salvatore's in hosting our wedding reception! Marco, Renata, and all of the serving staff were incredible off the bat. We hosted a 120 person reception on December 10th, 2022 - our cocktail hour start at 5PM and went to 6PM, we had 4 passed appetizers (initially I was worried this wouldn't be enough and that we needed an app "table" of sorts) but it was plentiful. The servers were constantly coming around offering up different plates and they were great. Starting off the cocktail hour I had a little hair malfunction that kept me up and the staff were so kind as to stop by me first to provide a bite before heading out to serve the guests - so thoughtful! The bar was never crowded and you had no issue getting a drink with this size of party and staff provided. Dinner was served promptly and piping-hot, family style per their suggestion. I received so so so many compliments on the food afterward and on the choice to go family style! It really encourages people to talk to one another at the table as they pass around the plates. I was a bit worried having a bunch of former D1 athletes that they wouldn't be fed enough but there was much to go around and more than enough to satiate the booze that followed. The tiramisu was an awesome dessert option for me as I am not a big wedding-cake person. We also had a few of Salvatore's preferred vendors as well - Sholeh Munion coordinated and Okyne Media Lab provided a pianist/saxophone duo for cocktail hour and a DJ. Remarkable vendors to work with and obviously Salvatore's chose wisely when they included them as preferred! After the dancing and drinking had finished, we packed up and headed down the street to top off our night with our younger friends as Gaslight Village (2 minute walk down the corner). The area is super convenient to host a reception - our room block was at The Drake and people had no problem at all taking ubers/lyfts from the reception to the hotel. 1000000/10 overall experience, I would pick them over and over again given the chance!” (read more) Paige in September 2021

“My wife and I recently got married at Salvatore's and (I know I'm biased, but) it was was the best wedding I've ever been to. People kept commenting on how beautiful the space was, the food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were all so kind and helpful. Back when we were first searching for a venue, Salvatore's was the clear choice. The moment we walked in, we fell in love with the ambiance. Marco was so helpful and professional throughout the process and went out of his way to make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of. If I could give a sixth star, I would. Tens across the board. Anyone looking for a venue with personality and class shouldn't pass Salvatore's by. ” (read more) Chris in September 2021

“My husband and I could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our dream wedding. Salvatore’s is the best of the best! Renata and Marco are some of the nicest, most accommodating people you’ll ever meet. They were beyond helpful, patient, thoughtful, and selfless. Marco and Renata’s quick accommodations due to changes in our family’s health will never be forgotten. They even made sure to save us some appetizers and tiramisu! They made sure we had everything we needed, throughout our whole wedding planning journey and of course the day of! They were so responsive to our emails and phone calls. We truly couldn’t be happier. The food and service was out of this world. We received tons of compliments about Salvatore’s from our guests. Salvatore’s is a hidden gem!” (read more) Claire in April 2022

“When looking for a venue, we had many things that were important to us: Atmosphere, Location, Affordability, lgbt friendly, and somewhere that didn’t require us to do a lot of extra leg work. We wanted our wedding to be and to feel upscale, and to be beautiful and Salvatore’s delivered flawlessly on all counts. We had a small 50 person wedding which post Covid is referred to as a micro wedding. Marco helped us with each phase of our wedding from the tour of the venue and walk through of what is included, from our tasting which was so so fun and delicious, to the excellent vendor recommendations. Fast forward to our wedding day, we had their amazing coordinator Renata who went above and beyond to make things run smoothly. Everyone says that not everything will go perfectly on their wedding, but they must not have had their wedding at Salvatore’s. Our day was so flawless… with a smaller guest count, we got to spend time with each other, we got to enjoy the delicious food, and our guests literally danced all night . The space was absolute perfection and we could not have asked for a better day. Our only regret is that we will only get married once! Thank you to Salvatore’s!” (read more) Danielle in September 2021
