Villa Borghese Caterers

Not the best wedding spa ever. Never told guests that the chairs they sat on for the ceremony had been painted that am with oil paint. Guess what everyone had on their asses when they stood up.

I was at a wedding there this pass weekend. It was a hot humid rainy afternoon. Just before the ceremony the sun broke out for the perfect setting for the wedding. As we sat out in the garden with astro turf, ok good fake grass but still kind tacky. The evening was off to a lovely start. Until we all stood up for the bride and discover the venue had just painted the chairs set out for us! 40% of the guest were cover in paint! What a crazy idea, they had even painted the vinyl seats. Don’t use these idiot they have no idea how to run a business or that they are dealing with someone un replaceable day. I hope the bride got a big discount.

We had our parents 50^th anniversary party here and it was fantastic. The staff took care of everything for us. The owner Joe and master of ceremonies Miguel made sure we had everything we needed. The room was beautiful, food was great, the DJ they recommended was one of the best we have heard (Carroza?) and overall service to get a lot of different parts and pieces set up for that day was perfect. We will definitely be using the Villa again for any future family functions.

I had my wedding at the villa Borghese 9÷12÷15. When my husband and I arrived at the villa the lobby was packed with our guest and guest from a different wedding. I found out later that eveing that the villa was having three weddings. There was no one in the lobby to greet us nor our guest. My husband and I were told that our guest would be served our signature drink and other refreshments if they arrived early but no one was offering any drinks to the guest. Myself and my husband were standing in the lobby waiting for someone to export us to the bridal suite. Imagines bride looking lost in her long gown waiting to be able to go to the suite to freshen up and get something to eat. Finally after 45 mins of standing the lobby after my husband complained did someone say «it’s been really busy today.» Really? This isn’t something I want to bear when it’s the most important day of my life! Finally we were escorted upstairs and our guest were told where cocktail hour was being held. Shortly after we were greeted by our Matrie D Miguel who was very nice and you can tell he was working really hard to get our room setup how we wanted it. We specifically told the Villa that our place cards were being used as wedding favors and we wanted the mini wine bottles to be placed inside of the ballroom later to find out they were placed outside of the room. My husband and I left the room to go up to the bridal suite to retrieve my shoes when I seen a few bottles left on the table for guest who did not show up to later come down to see those bottles were missing. While my husband and I were walking upstairs to the suite we seen people looking at the bottles that were not our guest. My assumption is that the took them as we had no bottles given back to us at the end of the night. Our dinner was served to our guest extremely late. The Villa Borghese’s service was really lack luster. I do not think they should host 3 weddings at a time as they do not have the staff to handle so many people and a wedding is a special moment were it should be valued as that. It’s not a random party. To put the icing on the cake when we booked with the villa the first invoice they sent my husband and I they had my husband’s last name spelt wrong which I called immediately and Paul Porco assured me that it would be changed in the system. When we came back from our honeymoon there was a survey waiting for us with our last name spelled wrong. So much for caring for someone’s wedding and changing the name in the system. I would not recommend the Villa Borghese to anyone who is getting married as you would not feel special on the most important day of your life.

I highly recommend this venue, especially for weddings!!! If you’re looking for a perfect venue for your wedding this is THE place. There is no comparison to all other wedding venues in the Hudson valley. My wedding was absolutely fantastic! It was everything I dreamed of and much much more. The food was incredible– all of my guests absolutely loved it and still remember how great everything was! From the beginning when searching for a venue, Villa Borghese truly stood out above the rest of the venues we looked at. The owner, Paul went above and beyond for us and it was apparent that this was no special treatment; this is the way e does business. He treated us with the utmost respect and attentiveness. He is a true professional, very experienced and knowledgable. I was assigned two maitre’ds that were excellent– Matt and Heather. They were right there to keep our meals warm and made sure we ate and had anything and everything we wanted without being noticeably there. The cake that was included in the empower package was beyond my expectations. Everything was really fantastic.

Beautiful venue, had the perfect wedding that I always dreamed of here at Villa Borghese! The staff is amazing and guides you every step of the way. The food is top notch and the service is great! I highly recommend this venue for your wedding or any other special occasion. They truly exceeded our expectations and if we had to do it all over we would choose them again!

Very disappointing. My wife and I attended a Sweet 16 party here and it was just awful. The cocktail hour was passable but as for dinner: Our table was last to be served the first 2 courses so it only seemed fitting that we would be served our main course while all the other tables were finished. To boot, I ordered the chicken and it arrived as cold as ice. I was just about to motion to the waitress when I looked down and pulled out an 18 inch blonde hair from my plate. Being that my wife is a brunette, I felt I had cause for concern. I showed this to the manager and he offered to replace my dinner with a different entrée. I requested the prime rib and the same chicken dinner was brought back to me, only reheated. I sent it back again stating that I ordered the prime rib and it never arrived.
Needless to say, for our daughters Sweet 16, we went to Ceola Manor and received hundreds of compliments.

The music for the New Years Eve event was great… However The drinks are watered down, and very bad. (I believe watering down the drinks is against the law) The food is mediocre. The only thing works about the event is the DJ and I give them 5+ stars.

I had my wedding at Villa Borghese! It was the most amazing experience of my life! I am so happy that I had the honor of working with the Porco family. I have recommended many of my friends to have their weddings there!!! I think they are the most wonderful staff in the HV. Everything was done to perfection and I am still taken back by how wonderful my day was. The food was perfect & everyone loved the service. I wish I could get married again and again just to experience such greatness!

Service was terrible. We can here for mother’s day brunch buffett. We had a reservation but showed up 30 minutes early but they promptly seated us which was the only good thing about the day.
They seemed to be low on food the whole time. Their fried seafood was too dry. The waffles were also so hard. The ladies running the dessert fountains were constantly touching the food without any gloves on — taking cookies to put on the tray without any care of germs.
We waited at least 15 minutes to order drinks and we were all on our 2^nd round of food before we got our drinks. Trying to get the check and trying to pay was also an issue. My mom reminded my dad to leave a tip and at that point, I told them not to… why? Because service just sucked. Banquet serving is easy and shouldn’t be this hard — trust me, I was a banquet server for 6 months full time.
Do not come here.
