Testimonials

Dear San Carlo,
Thank you so much for everything you did to make our October 6, 2012 wedding perfect!  The room was beautiful and we couldn't have been happier.  Everyone raved about the food, especially the steak, penne vodka and vegetable lasagna  the vegetable lasagna was so delicious even the strict carnivores adored it.  The chef did an amazing job! Also, our thanks to all of the staff.   Everyone was so kind and helpful.  The room was set up exactly how we wanted it and the bridal suite was beautiful.  We would gladly have another event at the San Carlo and have raved about you to everyone.  Thank you again.  You really made our wedding day perfect.

I recently attended a sweet 16 party at this catering hall as a guest of the parents.  I was completely blown away by the spread this establishment put out.  This sweet 16 more closely resembled weddings I have been to.  The absolute attention paid to detail was unbelievable, everything from the food to the decor was perfect! By far the food was the star of the night, absolutely delicious!  What all the partygoers truly appreciated was how well balanced the menu was.  The chef complimented the kid-friendly foods such as sliders and mini pizzas with adult-friendly food such as veal saltimbocca and penne vodka,  thus making everyone happy! The dessert hour had a waffle sundae station and a chocolate fondue station, perfect for kids and adults. The service was great as well, staff was so friendly and attentive.  The room was set just right for a party that was approximately 1/3 adults and 2/3 teens; elegant enough for the adults, but not too mature for the youngsters.  Sassy, sexy and of course sweet! All in all what a great catering hall, food, staff, decor, excellent! I would definitely recommend The San Carlo to anyone looking for a great banquet hall to host their special occasion.Emily G.

Let the San Carlo make your next event not only memorable, but unforgettable
