Damian Sent on 11/13/2023Unforgettable Memories at Marina Del Rey
Our wedding reception at Marina Del Rey was everything we hoped for and more. The venue itself was stunning, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt just right for our special day. But it was the impeccable service and attention to detail from the staff that truly made our day exceptional. They were there at every turn, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which allowed us and our guests to simply soak in the joy of the evening.
And then there was the food - a highlight that our friends and family haven't stopped talking about! Every dish served was a delightful surprise, from the elegant presentation to the delicious flavors. It's not just the place or the decor that makes Marina Del Rey special; it's the people and the care they put into making every moment count. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our union. -

Marina Del Rey was the last venue we visited after recommendations from friends. Immediately upon arrival we enjoyed the beautiful lobby and peaked at the outside ceremony area. Moments after we were met by Joe Orzo who gave us a full tour of the entire venue. We booked that same day and couldn’t have been happier.
Working with the venue to schedule appointments, or ask questions was easy. There were prompt responses and flexibility to come in on our time.
In the days leading up to the reception Joe takes the time to carefully explain each step to ensure a flawless day for all involved.
Our Ceremony and Reception included everything we asked for and more. We were given so much help by every staff member as well as our bridal attendant Carla who worked so diligently to ensure we always had food or drinks available!
Our guests raved about the view outside, the ambience and decor in both the ceremony and reception room but most importantly everyone LOVED the food. There were choices to satisfy everyone and everything was delicious.
We were so happy by how smooth this entire process and day went due to the dedicated and exceptional expertise of Joe Orzo and everyone at Marina Del Rey. We couldn’t have dreamed for a better venue or team for our most important day. -

A dreamy wedding
From the minute we entered Marina del Rey, my husband and I knew we were getting married there. With its waterfront venue and views of the city skyline, Marina del Rey is exceptionally beautiful - but it’s the people who work there who will make your wedding magical.
The owner, Carl Randazzo, and our maitre’d, Joe Orzo, are kind, cheerful, and confident professionals. We had a fusion Hindu-Western wedding – a multi-day event with multiple uncertainties (COVID, rainy weather), but we trusted their experience and our event was better for it. Carl even took the time to help us choose the beer for our welcome party and surprised our guests with delicious pastries as they arrived for the baraat procession. Joe guided our flower girls down the aisle and made sure we always had a drink in our hands. From the moment we booked MDR, we never had to worry. They extended endless warmth towards us and treated us like family.
Our wedding day went seamlessly, and we couldn’t be happier. All the pastas were absolutely incredible, as was the Viennese dessert spread! Our guests kept saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to, and we agree - it felt like a dream. Thank you so much to Carl, Joe, and everyone at Marina del Rey for the memories of a lifetime. -

Marina Del Rey by far exceeded our dream wedding. From the time we sat with Carl to the day of the wedding the customer service was stellar!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It rained on our wedding day but you would've noticed they recreated a magical tent and the ceremony kept going. The food was DELISH, the drinks were great not watered down like other venues.
All of my guests can't stop talking about our wedding!! There was never a time when we didn't feel special during this process leading to the big day and we are grateful.
We thank Carl, Tori, Joe, Savanah and the rest of the staff that made our dream wedding come true!

Bianca C. Sent on 10/10/2021My wedding was perfect thanks to Marina Del Rey!
I booked my wedding at the Marina right after my first meeting with them. My husband and I sat down with Joe Savino from the beginning who broke down everything for us from start to finish. Joe was so accommodating in working with what we wanted for our day. Every time I called or went there leading up to the wedding everyone was so nice and friendly, everyone really makes you feel like you’re working with people you’ve known forever.
Day of my wedding exceeded all expectations thanks to Joe Savino and Joe Orzo. The attention to detail is like no other, making sure that not only my husband and I had everything we needed and were happy but also making sure that each guest was happy. The level of service and professionalism is like none other that I’ve seen at the many weddings I’ve been to and I had so many guests say to me that night and after the wedding how amazing it was & how on top of everything they were. My bridal attendant was also amazing, making sure that everything was taken care of for me from start to finish so I didn’t have to worry about anything. I didn’t stress about a single thing on my wedding day, everything was planned down to the last detail & flowed so seamlessly.
Moving on to the food. Where to start? There was so much food and it was ALL amazing. The cocktail hour was amazing and had so much to offer our guests. For the reception we did a pasta trio, everyone raved about the risotto! For the entree there were multiple choices, all of which were fantastic. To make sure my guests had the full experience my husband and I had a Viennese hour for dessert which was outdoors, right outside of our reception room. There were so many dessert options - cakes, cookies, a crepe station, ect. They really go all out when it comes to their food and it shows.
Lastly, the venue itself. The venue overlooks the water which provided such a beautiful backdrop for photos. The ceremony was outside, right over the water & everything was set up perfectly to move right into an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. My bridal suite was right next to the reception room, making it easy to sneak away when I needed. Our reception was in the Venetian room which was set up exactly how I envisioned. Every last detail was seen to.
I would absolutely recommend the Marina Del Rey to anyone looking to book a venue for their special day. I can’t say enough just how impressed I was with my experience with them! -

This venue was excellent since the moment I went inside. Joe who is one of the owners was the best and I even hired Secruity. Her name was Gina and she was great. The staff and servers were the best and on that day I truly didn’t worry about anything. I would rate the venue %100. -

Dream Wedding!
My wedding day (8/7/21) was so beautiful at the Marina Del Rey-Every time I think of it, it leaves me speechless because it was absolutely perfect. From day 1, Joe Savino and his team were amazing and I could not have asked for a better venue to help bring my wedding dreams to life. The Marina del Rey is stunning, but the food is phenomenal and the presentation of the cocktail hour and Viennese hour is extraordinary(-now, 3 weeks later, my wedding guests are STILL talking about about impressive it was). Everyone said my wedding at the Marina Del Rey set the bar very high and no one will ever reach that level of perfection. My bridal attendant Denise, was the most amazing sidekick to have on my wedding day. She was there for anything I could ask for and I could not imagine how I would have got through the reception without her! My parents had their wedding with Joe Savino at the Marina Del Rey 39 years ago and it was outstanding then and lived up to it's spectacular reputation today! I wish I could relive this day at this amazing venue-but it left me with memories for a lifetime! -

We chose the venue Marina Del Rey for our wedding ceremony and reception on August 3rd, 2019. Marina Del Rey went above and beyond to exceed our expectations and making our wedding day the definition of perfection. Joe made sure all of our catering needs were beyond our wildest dreams. The scenery itself and the view made the most beautiful pictures. The staff made sure all our guests needs were met and exceeded. Marina del Rey is the best location for a wedding with its unparalleled view of the Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridge, cocktail hour from food all over the world, desserts that could last a lifetime, entrees that are just delicious, and beyond beautiful rooms. Our wedding day was perfect and yours can be too. -

Amanda Sent on 08/14/2018My husband, John, and I at our dream wedding at the Marina del Rey on July 7th - all because of the amazing staff. We did not have to worry about one thing. Tori calmed all of my pre-wedding jitters from the moment we met her during our booking process. At our final meeting, she went over literally every second of our reception to ensure we were not missing a thing. Both Joes worked the night of our wedding and helped every guest feel special. Our bridal attendant Denise made sure my husband and I had anything we wanted - from quickly bustling my dress so I wouldn't miss any of the the fun to food and drinks. She wrapped up our dinner so we can actually enjoy it the next night. The Marina is the place to go if you want top-notch service and a venue that will go above and beyond. We were able to have fireworks and extended the night with a Viennese hour - both of which were highlights of the night. The Marina gave out to-go trays for the Viennese hour since a lot of our guests were already full from the extensive cocktail hour and delicious dinner. Many guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
My husband and I kicked off our wedding year by celebrating New Years at the Marina and now we plan on doing this every year as a tradition - especially after the service we received at our wedding. -

Angela Sent on 07/27/2018This is long overdue, but I got married at Marina del Rey back in February and could not have asked for a better venue!
Joe Orzo and his staff go above and beyond any expectation you have. They're professionalism and honesty throughout the planning process really put our minds at ease for the big day. Our Wedding day turned out exactly how we envisioned it and it is all thanks to Joe and his team at Marina del Rey. They not only took care of our needs, but our guests as well. Our families and friends are still raving about the food and the service, not to mention the location! The Bellagio room is spectacular, along with those bridge and Long island sound views!
We had such an amazing time at our Wedding, we can't wait for someone we know to get married here so we can't enjoy it all over again! -
