Pazzo's @ 311

Having my wedding in Pazzo's was a dream come true! It was magical and just beautiful! All my guests were awed and most of them commented that it was the best wedding they ever attended. It has everything I could ever hope for---unique, city-esque, an outdoor feel, elegant but not too stuffy. I am also thankful for Faye and Carmen. They were very helpful in planning our wedding and so accommodating to what we needed & wanted. I was so happy they said yes to having a 1/2 chicken and 1/2 prime rib duo instead of what they initially offered in their packages. My friends and family loved the open bar! The food's really good! The bacon and scallops are divine! So is the prime rib! My only regret is I didn't get to enjoy my wedding food as much as my guests. We were so busy mingling with everybody and being the center of attention. It would be awesome if I could be a guest in someone else's wedding lol! I highly recommend this place!!!

Great spot for Italian dishes. Try the risotto  with four cheeses.

If I could give Pazzo's a 3.5 star I would.  We had our wedding here 10/13/12 and it is a BEAUTIFUL venue.   We received so many compliments!  Also, the day of food was amazing.  Everyone raved about it.  Also, the day of Fay was wonderful.  I had a TON of work/an out of state work conference the week before my wedding and a lot of the last minute details were left to my husband...who isn't really detailed oriented (aka the seating chart) Fay and her team added more tables last minute when we realized that the seating chart was a bit wacky.  All the last minute details were added with ease!

I knocked down stars for the pre/post wedding day situations.  At our tasting the food was HORRIBLE!  At that point it was too late to back out but it really left my grandma/mother in law/husband/myself worried about what we were going to get on the day of.  I also had some major family situations happen and whole groups of people were not able to attend my wedding bringing my guest list down.  Also, I had a group of family in AA and I felt like I was constantly being pressured to extend the open bar.  I had to mention multiple times that I did not feel comfortable with that at all.  Before the wedding, I felt like our wedding was not important because we didn't have the 150+ guest list.   I know they were completely booked up most Fri/Sat/Suns for the whole season, but it didn't seem like I had any help 4-5 months out when I knew I would have more time to get everything together than the 2 months before the wedding.  It would take a while for emails to be returned and some times it wasn't Fay who responded, but another lady (maybe the manager?) who wasn't very helpful or nice and started leaving a bad taste in my mouth for the venue.

Also, post wedding one of my bridesmaids lost her slip and my efficient left his ceremony book at the venue.  I have called twice and sent an email asking if those items are in fact there and if so if we could pick them up and have yet to hear any response.    I also had some cards missing, however, I am not sure if they were stolen or lost and still there since I am not getting any response from the venue itself.  Which is a shame because my photographer took some AMAZING shots of the venue that they could use when pitching it to future brides.

Over all the DAY OF was wonderful! Day of food was good!  Service was good the day of!  I do have to shout to the wonderful bartender/the lady who served my husband and myself dinner.  She was a real pleasure and made me feel so special.  I am really sad that in the craziness of the day I did not catch her name!!  The venue is beautiful and definitely  NOT a standard reception hall.   I also thought their prices were a good value compared to every where else.  I was just disappointed with pre/post wedding communication.
