Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

it depends what you are looking for, for example one wedding at a time. it can also depend on how much you want to spend and your budget. call up places you like and see if they have your date available, if you have one in mind.

good luck! there are lots of people to help you on here.

Thank you

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

I went to a wedding there and overall, it was nice. However, it took FOREVER between courses and we did not eat dinner until midnight. I have heard this complaint before about Russo's. The food was good but not good enough to wait that long!

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

I have heard nothing but Raves about the food. There are many 07 brides getting married there. I think you should post the question on that board.

I am SOOO *not* a food person but even I will tell you that generally you leave Russo's 5 lbs. heavier than when you walked in because of how good the food is and because of how much they serve.

I'm going to Russo's next month for a 50th anniversary party...it will be the same set up, same food..cuz you arent really allowed to change the menu.
I live very close to Russo's and I've been there a lot of parties, no complaints, food is great...Their cocktail hour blows everyone out of the water-

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

As you could see i'm also a Russo's bride and I can honestly tell you that they put on one of the best weddings in all the 5 boroughs. The amount of food that you get at the cocktail hour is unbelievable and most importantly the quality of the food is exceptional. I have been to Russo's many times and I never once tasted anything that I didn't like. After your guests are stuffed on all the food from the cocktail hour they get to choose from 11 entrees and the venetian hour is amazing. You will have everything from chocolate fountains, to NY pretzels, fresh waffles, zeppoles, doughnut machine, ice cream cart etc etc etc. We're getting married 7/7/07 and we officially booked a few days ago so if i were you i would schedule an appointment with a Banquet Manager to make sure your date is available. If you have any questions feel free to FM me. Good Luck!

The food at Russo's is the best "wedding food" I have ever had. DH's family has a huge sons of Italy function there every year. The only thing (no flames, please!) is that it is very busy, with lots of weddings coming and going. This year one bride had a hard time trying to get in the door, have photographers take her picture, all b/c the entrance was just so busy. I think my BIL accidentally stepped on her gown, too! As for food and service, though, this place is wonderful. The cocktail house is absolutely amazing.

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

I just got married there and it was unbelieveably amazing!!! The food of course is fabulous and the service is impeccable! Everyone raved and raved about Russo's. There are two rooms where they have weddings (they have a smaller room but I don't think weddings are generally held there).

I was the only bride b/c the other wedding was cancelled, however they bumped a christening to the Renaissance room (I was in the Tivoli room). I did see the other guests-but I guess it would be different if it were a wedding.---I guess you can't help the overlap sometimes.

Anyway, I've never heard one complaint & everything was amazing. If you book ask for Tracy as your Maitre' D. She was really great---She even steamed my gown before the reception and cleaned all of the stains!

Good Luck!

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

I've heard nothing but rave reviews for that place. The food I'm told is out of this world. Good luck to you.

Re: How is Russo's On the Bay for a wedding?

DH went there for a business related event, not a wedding, and came back raving about it, he loved the food,the look of the place, everything.
