Just had our wedding at LaVera - working with Anthony and the rest of the team was first class! The wedding and reception all in the Crystal room went off perfectly and the food was delicious! Great experience from day one of starting the planning stages to execution! Would highly recommend holding events or weddings at LaVera for a top of the line wedding and extremely reasonable prices! Thank you to the team at LaVera for making our memorable night so great! Mike and Kristin!
Tony and his team were fantastic to work with, they gave their all and we at Dream Event Services truly appreciate their patience, efforts, and time. The wedding and reception went off without a visible hitch and thats all that matters. The food was good and plentiful.
It is apparent this sandwich sat around for hours. The edges of the corned beef was hard and so were the french fries. I couldn’t eat it as a sandwich because the bottom slice of bread was extremely soggy and broke apart. So expensive and so disappointing. When they put the order in my car, they new it was not fresh. Never again!
Insanely awful food...had to spit out the broccoli 🥦..oversalted and spiced....instant mashed potatoes had this metallic taste...beef ok...as wS the chicken piccata..salty..dont have your wedding here....even the cake and oetit fours .....BLAND....JUST SAYIN....so I got drunk
Had my wedding reception at La Vera on 10/23 and couldn’t be happier. The food was AMAZING! We got so many compliments. I loved how they served my husband and I so we didn’t have to stumble through the buffet line. They were easy to work with the whole time, very responsive to emails and phone calls with lots of questions. I think they offer an amazing service for their price, I highly recommend them. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding reception!
This party center is great. We attended a lovely wedding reception-dinner on a Friday night.It was wonderful.... and more than what you would expect.The food, music and dance floor accommodates the entire family and friends.I was impressed with the bar and drink service as well.
Very nicely maintained Party Center. My cousin got married and had reception there. It was a true fairytale atmosphere. From the chandeliers to the drawings with lights hanging from the ceilings. There was a stage and setup was done in a timely fashion after wedding and clean up the staff was very helpful in providing the bride with what she needed. Sufficient amount of room for a little over 100 guest. I think it would have been enough for the 150 limit. Nice dance floor. Although it rained she still took some beautiful pictures in front of the waterfalls.
I booked La Vera for my wedding and i was thrilled with how it all came together. Stefani was my point person and she was so helpful every step of the way. The venue is so lovely and the food was out of this world delicious. Family and friends cant stop talking about what a great time we all had and La Vera made it possible.
La Veras provided the experience of a lifetime for my daughter and son in laws wedding. The food was excellent and in large abundance. They were very accommodating and put that extra touch in their service that made the awesome..... please consider them when looking for your next venue
I can’t thank Anthony and his team enough for hosting our daughter’s wedding last weekend. They were professional from start to finish and made our night so much fun. Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. I am so sad it is over, but our great memories will last a lifetime.
I had my rehearsal brunch catered by them for my wedding this past weekend and everything was fantastic we got so many compliments on the food! Their team is always so great to work we always order their weeknight meals and holiday specials so I just knew everything would be perfect for this! The Carmel French Toast Strata is definitely one of my favorite brunch items!
Attended a wedding here... The staff working the event were great, you could see their smiles through the masks. They were quick to help and kept the space very tidy. The only things I did not love was the mirrors that made the room seem dated and the lack of sound insulation from the hall next door in which you could hear all of their music.
This place is absolutely amazing. I came to Toni with a vision and he made my vision a dream in 6 months. The wedding food was amazing and the cake was just as amazing. I am so please and happy with the way my wedding turned out I would do it again 100x with the la Vera staff and family.
We were so happy with how everything went the day of our wedding (ceremony and reception). We were planning from out of state which made things a little complicated but Anthony always tried to work with us to set up meetings while we were planning to be home. We asked him for a lot of advice s to what people typically do and he had great recommendations. They include so much when you book with them that it makes your day go very smoothly. We used a lot of their preferred vendors, they worked so well with LaVera that we didn’t need to be concerned about coordinating with them. The food is outstanding!
Just had my wedding here on 9/28/18. Everything was top notch. If your looking for a venue, look no further. Cant tell you how many people came up to me to tell me how good the food was and how much of a good time they had. Anthony was great to work with and made everything so much easier. Would highly recommend. Everything was great!!!!!!!!
One of the best venue halls and catering companies in all of Cleveland! Now in its third generation of family ownership, they are professional, easy to work with, and will do whatever it takes to make your event special. It was also HALF THE COST of the 2nd least expensive reception hall my wife and I looked at for our wedding!!! We couldn’t have imagined our wedding reception being any better, and many of our guests said that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! An absolute must book if you have a wedding or large event to plan
LaVera catered our wedding at Orchard Hills Center and did a wonderful job. Carl was super easy to work with and followed up with us many times regarding our wants and making sure everything went smoothly. He also contacted our wedding planner at the venue so we did not need to stress about details the day of. The people at our wedding raved about the food!
Recently had our wedding this past December at La Vera Party Center. It only took 5 minutes after meeting Anthony to know La Vera was the right hall for us. He is so laid back, easy to work with, professional and does not pressure you at all -- which was important to us. Felt like working with family when working with Anthony. We booked the crystal room which is absolutely stunning! It was everything we were looking for – elegant, classy and just beautiful. The food was beyond phenomenal and was all homemade. Our guests would not stop complimenting us on how beautiful the hall was and how delicious he food was. Anthony and his staff made our wedding day run so smoothly that we did not have to worry about anything because Anthony had it covered. Thank you so much Anthony and everyone at La Vera for making our wedding day perfect!
Pleasant decor and i loved the mirrors. Clean restroom. Big dance floor. Comfortable chairs. Courteous staff. I dont know if they are part of the La Vera catering or not. There is a spacious bar also. Plenty of parking. Pleasant outdoor ambiance. Appropriate for a formal event.
Attended our baseball league banquet here. The room was very large and set up well. The host and hostess were pleasant and quickly cleared our plates when done. Since there were many children at this event, I liked how they had drinks(pop) already prepared for us to just come up and take rather than having to stand in a line and wait.
Words cannot express the gratitude my husband and I have for all the work Anthony and all the staff did to make our wedding reception wonderful. They were so easy to work with, very responsive to our questions, flexible, had fantastic food and affordable!!! Highly recommend checking them out!!
Attended our friends wedding tonight at the party center and it was gorgeous. The outside area where you walk in , the hallway, and the main party center room and even the bathrooms were immaculate. The cavatelli and lemon chicken were unbelievable. The staff was very attentive and our drinks were always full. I highly recommend La Vera party center for any type of event!
The food was over salted; the pastry seemed like it was day old & very dry; the French toast was more like milk bread with a tough crust. Very disappointed in their food. I hate giving them such a low score however that was my experience. Much, much room for improvement 😇
Went for the Fish Fry, not a good experience. Fish was old, nothing had any flavor. Mac and cheese was hard and undercooked. Staff was not nice at all, acting as if we were bothering them. Coffee was watered down, and the desert was store bought and disgusting. I cant say anything positive about the experience.
We recently had our wedding at La Vera. Anthony Jr. took care of us from the first time we called to inquire about their location for our wedding to hold ~240 people. Anthony let us come on a Friday night to try their food for free. Other locations we were looking at were charging approximately 50+ dollars per person to try their food.Anthony always got right back to me with any questions that I had. The food on our wedding night was unbelievable! We ate family style and each meal came out promptly after the other. The guests were commenting how delicious the salad dressing, the pasta sauce, the potatoes, the beef tenderloin and the chicken were! I strongly advise you to give Anthony a call!!
At 655 pm they took my $ 24.00 4/2 fish dinners. Not saying they stop at 7pm and there was no desert. No coffee. Sticky Mac n cheese. Runny mashed potatoes and no baked fish only soggy fried fish. Only plus was a fresh salad one salad dressing and great soup. Lotta money 4 soup and salad.
La-Vera Party Center did amazing during our wedding this past weekend. The Staff was amazing, and Anthony was there to make us feel comfortable and kept telling us to just have fun! The food was outstanding and people are still talking about their family style. Everything from the bartenders to the servers were sweet and very fast. Anthony made sure everything from decorations, to lighting, to ceremony room was just how we wanted. I would recommend anyone to La-Vera Party Center! If you want a fairy tale wedding like my husband and I, while not having to deal with stress. This is the way to go! Thanks again for making our night, a night that NOONE will ever forget!Jessica Leigh-Finney Brown
LaVera did an amazing job hosting our schools 325+ person gala event in March. The entire staff was accommodating for just about every request. Chef John should be complimented for his preparation of the beef tenderloin and chicken - not one complaint. Carl went as far as to bring in an AV person to be sure our presentations went off without a hitch. Anthony and his family were attentive and friendly and made our volunteers feel at home and our guests feel welcomed. The LaVera team worked with us and made sure the evening was one to remember. 100% satisfied and would recommend LaVera without hesitation.
This place is amazing, the service was so professional and they staff was so kind they presented themselves in the most professional and polite manner I would recommend this place to anyone not to mention the cleanliness of the womens restroom now that is something that I look at when on outings and I can honestly say that it was like walking into heaven so pure so white and so clean, I give this establishment a 10 star rating THANKYOU TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AND OWNERS I WILL BE BACK!
So I talked to a guy named Anthony and told him the date I wanted to get married. We set up a time/day for me to come look at the venue. I arrived only for his ass to tell me the date wasnt available. So I waisted my time and gas for him to tell me that. Im pissed!!! NO, I wouldnt recommend this to any of my fam or friends.

2022-07-22Nothing but a positive experience. Had my wedding reception here…La Vera offered everything we needed, and the staff was very accommodating, pleasant, and easy to work with.

2022-07-11I went to a wedding this weekend and was surprised how much the quality went down. Our salad was old and turning brown, food cold, and the broccoli was not edible due to the copious amount of salt. The broccoli burned when you ate it. The staff was extremely nice and the place was decorated beautiful. Plates were cleared in a timely manner and the staff smiled and welcome us. I just wished the chef would have tasted the food and maybe shifted through the lettuce. Iceberg isnt too expensive to replace.

2022-07-14We absolutely loved what Carl, Holly, & the rest of the team at La Vera did to make our wedding day so special. The set up was gorgeous, the help was super friendly and prompt, the food was warm and absolutely delicious, and everything was so organized. We have had endless comments about how amazing the food was, how fantastic the grazing table was, and countless other compliments of this wonderful company. We can’t thank La Vera enough!!

2022-05-15We recently had my daughters communion gathering of about 70 people. Anthony and his team went above and beyond to make this very special event memorable. Food was spot on and the staff was very accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend La Vera to anyone considering a special event.

2022-08-21Just want to say that La Vera Party Center is such an amazing place from the workers to the owners. I am the Groom from 8-13-22. I’m so happy we choose La Vera. Anthony has been the best and even his son works his butt off to make your wedding day that much more amazing I would recommend La Vera to Anyone they are nothing but amazing!!!! One thing I didn’t like that had nothing to do with La Vera itself is the DJ we had. He was rude, pushing, and hitting on our guests, he got my mother in laws name wrong and her last name, along with my nephews and sisters. We have it all recorded. I wouldn’t recommend this DJ or his company. Absolutely Unbelievable Entertainment Is Terrible. Deric, horrible people person. Wouldn’t recommend him to anyone pay the extra money for a DJ. I give him a 1 outta 5. Zero if I could.
