My family attended for the New Years Eve ball. It was awesome. There was this server who was not even our server who worked so hard (Mickey) and one of the organizers (Michelle) was incredibly helpful at a key moment of the evening (in addition to getting us a great table). We also loved that the music had French and Italian elements. A bit more of both would certainly have been appreciated by the way the crowd reacted. The 5 course meal was great. A thought for improvement: The cash bar…I won’t take the coffee martini again. $80 for 6 drinks is fine if the quality is there but, it was not. Bottom line: strongly recommend this venue for events. Especially if you have minors. This event is already on our short list for future years.

This is a fantastic venue to have a wedding or party at. Working with Michelle was such a pleasure. She really helped guide us through the process and made sure we didn't miss anything for our big day. Their team were great and made sure to check in with us all throughout the night. Words aren't enough to say how much we'd recommend this venue. Thank you so much!

We booked Sala San Marco for our wedding in September 2025 and can’t express enough how happy we were with the experience. Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with, and made our planning process incredibly smooth. She was prompt with her responses and provided us with ample support and guidance. We went with the South Asian buffet and the food was amazing!!! We had so many compliments from guests on the food! Joel was our day-of banquet coach and we can’t emphasize enough how taken care of we felt. On your wedding day, you want to be able to relax and not worry about any logistics, and he truly made this possible, handling all the coordinating and inevitable hiccups that came along. Thank you to Michelle, Joel, the bar staff, in house caterers, and the entire staff for making our wedding what it was! ❤️

For the past few years (except for the pandemic) the Christmas reception of the non-profit organization, which my daughter belongs to, has been taking place at the Sala San Marco. I have nothing but good comments for this place. The reception room is beautiful and grand. The catering company used are excellent. The food is good and plentiful. Their real key assets are their staff who is very pleasant, professional, quick, polite and friendly. As you can see, the family has become a fan of the Sala San Marco.
