We chose Macaluso's to have our Granddaugters Christening Party . It was "Magnificient". The party was for about 35 family members with a bunch of toddlers running around.The outdoor venue was an elegant but comfortable setting . With Fountains spewing water, Fire and water, classical Archways and columns beautifully landscaped. Then came the food . The Classical Buffet was beautifully presented and it was nothing less than spectacular. THE QUALITY AND ABUNDANCE of the food was Delicious. Every single Item was perfect. All I heard from my Guests all day was, how incredible the food was.
The entire staff was so professional and took to every detail. Friendly, helpful, accomodating. Couldn't do enough. The entire management team owner Elias , sons, nephews, bro- in-laws came out to the party to check on the events progress. Elias and family were soo gracious and just a delight to speak to and deal with. The attentiveness to every detail makes Macaluso's experience second to none. I highly recommend this venue for any occassion. Your guests will leave with their best experience ever. Macaluso's truly is in a class of its own. Thank you Elias , Nat , Maroon, and your gracious wife " the real boss" ; she was so charming to meet. If you are thinking of having a party. Don't waste your time shopping. Go to Macaluso's. They will exceed all your expectations.Elegance and class in every way. Un paralleled quality and value. Impeccable service and detail.

Thank you Macaluso's for a great experience.

It was truly a pleasure. We must do it again !

Amazing venue must book!

My Fiancé and I had our engagement party at Macaluso’s on April 14th and it was an absolute dream! There is not one thing I would have changed. Elias our sales rep was PHENOMENAL! I can not say enough good things about him. From the very second I called to book to the 300 times I called, he was super accommodating! So even if you think having your event here is out of reach, call anyway, they will absolutely do their best to work within your budget. All our guest raved about the food.
It was DELICIOUS !! The aesthetic of the venue is out of this world. It is breath taking from the moment you walk in the lobby, and continues to take your breath away as you walk through the hallway into the main ballroom. Our guests could not stop raving about our party, the venue, the food! 10/10 for sure! Book your next event at Macaluso’s if you want a showstopper event. You WILL NOT be disappointed. A HUGE thank you to Elias, Maroon, and the entire Macaluso’s team for making us feel like family and ensuring we had a night to remember!

Absolutely perfect

I just had my wedding here on 8/14/21 and it was a fairytale. The staff and everyone there were amazing. The food all came out hot and at once for 100 people. I had a bridal assistant and she was right by my side for anything I needed the entire night. Everyone at Macaluso’s are very professional and caring. They all helped everyone with whatever was needed. It was a perfect wedding and I couldn’t of asked for more!!
