Most things were great

Most things were great, the food was out of this world, the drinks were well make, the decorated room was breathtaking, the staff was helpful and professional all night.

The only thing that was not perfect was that we specifically asked many times to not be sat "Jesus style"-one sided at a long table as I have anxiety about being centered in large groups. We unfortunately were sat Jesus style

Excellent experience

As a previous staff at Sala San Marco, I decided to do my wedding there. The service is excellent, the kitchen is clean, the owner is really nice to deal with and the food is delicious. I highly recommend this venue for weddings or any other event.

Stress Free

All of the staff at Sala San Marco went above and beyond with making sure our day went off without a hitch. I would recommend to all our friends and family for events. We were super happy with everything. Michelle was also very accommodating last minute which took so much stress off my plate. I can't thank them enough!

Excellent and covid 19 safety 1st

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding event on August 15 2020 at Sala San Marco.

Our event was amazing and beautiful. The staff were great and sufficient. Always made sure my guest were content and had everything they needed. Michel the wedding director was a great help during my wedding preparations and during the pendemic. She kept me up to date on the pandemic health and safety protocols and guest list.
The venue was A+ so was the food. The stuff chicken was delicious, the broccoli soup was very flavorful... It was just delectable 😊
My venue was well decorated and ready when I arrived. Was I ever happy. The bathrooms were always cleaned and checked every 5 minutes or so and the staff kept their distance at all times and only one wedding was happening that night... Which to me, was very important during the covid 19.
My husband and I are so happy that we were able to celebrate our wedding at the Sala San Marco during this hard scary time but yet we were not going to let covid win. Every one followed the protocols and Sala San Marco made sure of it as well. They even accommodated our price during the covid which was a blessing from Michelle and owner ❤️ blessed

Thanks Michelle and the team.
Without u guys, our wedding would have not been done this year.. ❤️

The best day because of the best venue !

My husband and I got married a year ago at Sala San Marco and we can’t gush about how positive our experience was from start to finish. Tony and Jessica made all of our dreams come true and treated us and all of our guests like royalty! The hall was always beautiful but now more then ever with their modern renovations it’s truly breath taking and you won’t need to be spending most of your budget on decorations! I food and drink is like NO other, everything that we picked with the suggestion from Tony and Jessica was cooked perfect and we still to this day get so many compliments on our food ❤️
