    Unforgettable

    Ashton and Jackie were amazing. Paula did an awesome job with her floral design and the whole team brought us a memorable experience in less than twelve days which was unbelievable. We're so thankful for choosing Salvatore's.

    Salvatore’s Events & Catering's reply:

    Amir and Sahar, you and your family are so special to us! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. Everyone and everything looked stunning! We so enjoyed watching your vision come to life.

    Can't wait to see you next spring for the anniversary party! Until then, cheers!

    Elegant Day, Smooth Timing, Delicous Food , Great Service 🙌

    We were nervous when we were choosing our wedding venue as we knew we would have somewhere between 330-400 attendees. However, once we did the tasting (amazing) we knew their staff was equipped to handle our big day! Our wedding at Salvatores Events and Catering was an absolute dream come true! The venue displayed elegance, setting the perfect tone for our special day. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Timing was impeccable, and the food was not only hot but had amazing flavor, leaving all our guests impressed and satisfied. Thank you, Salvatores, for making our day truly unforgettable!

    P.S. We loved being able to drop all of our centerpieces and decor off far enough ahead of time for the big day, that was such a huge help and I cannot express my gratitude for Josette during that time, she is amazing and professional 🙌

    Salvatore’s Events & Catering's reply:

    Your pictures are so beautiful! Thank you for choosing Salvatore's. We can't express how much we enjoyed working with you, your family and friends.

    A day to remember!

    I am the third sibling in my family to have their wedding at Salvatore's and am so happy with that decision! We worked with Christina to plan the big day and she was wonderful! Any question I had, she was there, and any detail I wanted to change (no matter how last minute) her ultimate goal was to make my vision come to life, and would alter what she could, to do so. All the meetings and communication were in the perfect timeline leading up to the big day. The room was set up perfectly, the workers were very catering and the food was outstanding! I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over, and having it at Salvatore's plays a big part in that. I also worked with Paula Salvatore for my flowers. I requested a bouquet that Paula said she had never done before, but knew how much they meant to me. When Paula personally delivered my flowers to the room we were getting ready in, I was over joyed with how stunning my 11 long stemmed calla lilies looked to hold at my wedding. Thank you Christina, Paula and the whole team at Salvatore's for making my wedding day one to remember!

    Salvatore’s Events & Catering's reply:

    Amie, you and your family are so special to us! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. You looked stunning! We loved your wine bottle guest book and hope you are enjoying them each month :)
    Thank you!

    Value for Quality

    When we first started looking for a wedding venue we didn't even think we would be able to afford Salvatore's since they are so established, very popular in the area, and beautifully decorated. Much to our surprise they were VERY reasonably priced. From the get go all the staff was helpful. My only criticism was that the original wedding planner we signed with left but we weren't notified. We found out when we tried to contact her but were informed by another staff member that someone else would be taking over. Day of went very smooth, staff was extremely polite and attentive. We did a lot of our own decor and the staff set everything up for us as requested. Would definitely recommend Salvatore's for anyone looking for a beautiful, classy, elegant reception at a reasonable price as well as conveniently located!

    Salvatore’s Events & Catering's reply:

    Congratulations to you and Vanessa!
    Thank you so much for sharing this information. Janet, your original wedding coordinator did retire. She was really amazing and we miss her everyday but glad she is enjoying retirement. I'm glad we were able to follow her incredible ways and deliver a great wedding experience.

    Cinco de Mayo

    We had the most magical day with Salvatore’s for my cinco de mayo wedding. The venue went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. We were even able to use one of their other restaurant areas to take our first look pictures and they turned our Amazing!

    Salvatore’s Events & Catering's reply:

    Katie - your wedding was so much fun! We loved that you were able to use Perla and can't wait to see more pictures! We also really loved your favors - Jarritos!
    It was a pleasure to work with you and your family. Thank you!

    Fantastic Wedding Venue 9/3/2022

    I decided to look at Salvatore’s for our venue based on other reviews I had seen on WeddingWire. It was a fantastic price compared to other wedding venues that were similar, I loved that they offered other services as well. Janet was my wedding coordinator, she did an awesome job she was very accommodating and responsive with all my requests. I appreciated her recommendations which were a big help. We also used Paula Salvatore for my flowers she did an amazing job and also had her do our decorations. We had the ceremony outside on the premises and Paula had decorated it beautifully. We did the buffet for the dinner service and the food was amazing and all my guests raved about it. They did a champagne parade which was awesome, many guests remarked on how much they liked it and never seen that at a wedding. Location is very convenient near the thruway and adjoining Delavan Hotel for our out of town guests.

    Amazed Bride

    What a beautiful amazing venue. Great location, easy transition from ceremony to the reception. The staff was accommodating and efficiently they made the process from beginning to end, smooth, simple and most importantly stress free. The food was incredible, and the presentation impressive. Our guest had so many positive things to say about their meals. The night started and ended perfectly, I am beyond happy with our experience. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the New York area, this is it. No need to look further.

    Wedding 6-25-22

    When my fiancé and I first booked our venue it was owned by someone personally, during the pandemic it was bought by Salvatore's and I was so worried my day was going to go to shambles. But after getting in contact with Christina, their Event Coordinator, I felt so much better. She was so attentive, very responsive and accommodating. When it came to the day before my wedding, Christina's staff set my venue up EXACTLY how I wanted it-down to the very tiny detail. The day of my wedding it went so smooth. The staff was attentive and caring. They helped with every question and any concern in a very kind and professional matter. The food was amazing, the drinks kept flowing and my guests had the time of their lives. The Brickhall in the Hollow was the most beautiful venue and it is HIGHLY recommended.

    An amazing experience

    We met with Janet (our coordinator) last august. From her warm welcome I knew this was going to be venue. We took a tour of the ballroom and some of the areas for photos. We also decided to have our ceremony here as well. I honestly fell in love work this place.

    Janet was amazing every step of the way and addressed any concerns that we had. When she wasn’t available someone else from staff helped. The bar tenders are a delight, the wait staff was kind and on point. The food was excellent. My family and friends enjoyed themselves and we’ve had many comments about how classy and beautiful it was. I highly recommend Salvatore’s for your wedding needs.

    Outstanding!

    The Brickhall and Salvatores took the stress of planning a wedding off of our shoulders! They were available to coordinator and offer guidance at every turn along the way. Through recommendations for DJ's, room accommodations, , setting up a timeline, finalizing the meal and countless emails, Salvatore's never skipped a beat in helping us plan. Meetings were easy to schedule and they heard exactly what we wanted to create the day of the wedding and they made it happen! We are so grateful to Salvatore's for making our wedding everything we hoped for!

    Book the Brickhall!

    We were able to book, plan and enjoy the wedding of our dreams at the Brickhall in under 4 months and we couldn't have done it without Christina and the team at Salvatore's. They were extremely flexible and easy to work with. Our family members are still raving about how delicious our prime rib was!

    Exceptional!

    Working with Janet made my vision come to life. She was quick to respond to my many questions and offered to set up meetings so I could look at the room and get a feel for what I wanted. We spent almost two years working together due to the pandemic and she always made me feel like I was her first priority. The venue was beautiful.

    Perfect weddings DO exist

    Janet Ciminelli & Salvatore’s as a whole were truly a pleasure to work with every step of the way & made our wedding feel like a complete dream, a fairytale. Being one of the brides who had to reschedule our original wedding due to Covid, Janet made the transition seamless, we didn’t feel overwhelmed or miss a beat. They say “something always goes wrong when it comes to a wedding”… but that is not what my husband and I experienced at all and we know Janet Ciminelli & Salvatore’s were a huge factor in that too. Communication was excellent, they are responsive & pay attention to every detail that matters to you. They are excited for you and happy to see you!! We couldn’t thank Janet Ciminelli & Salvatore’s enough, our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect in every single way. We would highly recommend them to EVERY future bride & groom!! We couldn’t have had a better, more magical experience!

    November Wedding Review - Bella room

    We chose Salvatore's for our wedding reception venue and we were thoroughly impressed from the minute we inquired! While planning during Covid, there were a lot of venues that did not get back to us but Salvatore's did. They have their own full-time event coordinators and you can tell they are in the business of helping you plan your perfect event. We worked with Janet and could not say enough good things! And when Janet was not available, we were easily able to speak to another coordinator. Janet was there to answer all of our questions, meet all of our requests, and very efficient with follow-up. What really sold us was how inclusive the packages are at Salvatore's; things that would have cost extra at other venues were included in the package we chose. It was nice to not have to worry about those things - like the champagne parade and toast, a fun and unique experience to Salvatore's. We also really liked that even though Salvatore's is a large venue and can host multiple events in one evening, our wedding had it's own kitchen and wait staff that were only focusing on our special event. The Salvatore's staff always made us feel welcome and special and grateful for choosing them; all things a bride and groom want to feel like planning their wedding! When our original ceremony plans fell through, Janet helped us and offered up a number of different options on site, and we ended up with our ceremony at the Garden Place Hotel courtyard and we are so glad that we did, it was absolutely beautiful! You can really tell that Salvatore's has a lot of experience hosting large events and weddings, their food is always delicious, they are willing to meet special requests and make adjustments as needed and they have so many options to make your wedding day just the way you want! They have room options and packages for a variety of budgets and guest list sizes. Also, there are countless places within Salvatore's to take photos! We cannot thank the staff at Salvatore's for such a special day! The day of our wedding was flawless and as perfect as can be, and I know a large part of that was due to the professionalism and efficiency of the Salvatore's staff. If we had to do it over again, we would not do anything differently!

    Best wedding reception ever!

    Seriously! Salvatore’s was nothing but amazing to my now husband & I. Yes I am sad to say I was one of the COVID brides who had to move her wedding but Janet & Salvatore’s were both incredible about it. When we didn’t 100% make our decision yet she still held our back up date for us until we decided to postpone. I had my dream fairytale wedding & could not be more happy we chose here. I am huge into Halloween so us having to postpone was upsetting but being able to have it the night before Halloween made it a little better.
    We have received so many compliments about how amazing our wedding was & it was the best wedding they have been too. Now let’s go onto the most important part the food. Everyone was raving about how amazing the food is. Those meatballs were to die for. The asparagus was my absolute favorite thing I have ever had. Our flowers (and centerpieces & the decorations) were done by Paula & they were absolutely gorgeous! The location is absolutely gorgeous for photos (the staircase, all of the themed decorations, & everything else). Also they give you a free hotel stay at the delavan (we chose to upgrade to a suite for only $50 extra & it was the best hotel room we have ever stayed in).
    There is so much amazing things I could say about Janet & Salvatore’s.
    But seriously if you are looking at venues this will be your perfect wedding venue just like it was mine.

    Salvatores/Amore

    We host our wedding receptions at Salvatore's- the facility was beautiful! Though they offered many options to decorate I provided most of what we used. The staff was great with displaying all the items I had brought a few days prior and asked questions to make sure everything was handled. We extended our bar and they kept us updated with the changes. It was easy to contact the staff with questions and our day was wonderful! 10/10 recommend! (Get the steak!! ;) )

    Salvatore’s Italian Garden

    My husband and I just got married at Salvatore’s in the Venetian Ballroom. Our event coordinator was Janet and she was absolutely amazing; she was responsive, professional and knew what she was talking about. I booked this venue pre pandemic and was so worried nothing was going to work out. Janet went about and beyond to make sure our vision was brought to life. Our ceremony was set to be outside and due to weather we changed it inside last minute and it all worked out. I felt like my ceremony room and reception room complimented each other very well and will make for amazing pictures! The food was incredible and the champagne parade was so fun. All night I was complimented on how stunning the venue was by our guests. The best part it, the Ballroom speaks for itself so you don’t need to spend hundreds more on decorations if you don’t want to. I felt like I was heard at Salvatore’s and I wish I could do it all over again!

    INCREDIBLE, seamless, stress free experience working with Salvatore’s!! (& Christina specifically).

    Working with Salvatore’s for our wedding was such a great experience for us both. We planned our wedding in LITERALLY less than 6 weeks & it magically all came together, thanks to Salvatore’s and Christina Weber (our coordinator for the event). We had a vision and it was delivered perfectly. Questions were always answered promptly, Christina was only a phone call/email away, and everything was impressively organized. I was constantly changing my mind, adding new details in, hiring more vendors, etc. and i was so so impressed with how everything stayed orderly and no detail/information was ever missed. Salvatore’s provided the venue (Brickhall is BEAUTIFUL & exceeded my expectations), the food, the bar, and the service staff - which made things SO much easier for us. The food was extremely well done & there is so many options to fit any couples price point / taste. Everyone was coming up to us after saying how good the food was (especially considering it was made for 120 people at once!) - people also commented on how many weddings they have been to with terrible food and for ours they ate every single bite .. !!! The service staff was also amazing. Many guests also approached us to say how knowledgeable, kind, and helpful every staff member was. They made every step of the evening move so so smoothly!! I have not one single bad thing to say about working with Salvatore’s / having our wedding at Brickhall. I highly recommend to all!!

    Wonderful Experience with Salvatore's

    We recently had our wedding at Salvatore’s and it was everything we could have dreamed of. We worked with Janet and she was wonderful from the moment we first met her last year. Our wedding was planned in its entirety during the pandemic and Janet was there for us every step of the way. From different restrictions and what we could do, she was so accommodating. She was also so supportive with how we were feeling. Thankfully, we were able to have a full wedding reception with passed appetizers and a dance floor. We loved our appetizers that we chose (cheese tray selection, beef on weck crostini, and loaded baked potato bites). And the food was absolutely amazing! We chose the Chicken Française which was paired with sliced tenderloin of filet. So many people at the wedding told us they loved the food and one groomsman reported he wanted to “lick the plate clean”. Our captain, Jennifer, who took care of us all night, was wonderful! I felt like before I could even ask for something she automatically knew what I wanted. The champagne toast was so cool and everyone loved that as well. Honestly, everything went off without a hitch and I had the best wedding I could have imagined. I am sure that a lot of that had to do with Salvatore’s and if you are considering them, I would highly recommend that you go with them. They were great!
