When I became engaged in June, 2007, my fiance Vincent and I began a journey which would culminate on September 27, 2008 with the most spectacular event we had ever experienced. Although we had seen many other venues, as soon as we met Jose Russa and saw The Palace, we knew that this was the place which would host the most important day in our lives. When we met Michelle Malave, we felt that we had the "Dream Team". Jose and Michelle worked tirelessly for many months to insure that our wedding would be like no other. Any questions, phone calls, and emails (and there were many) were answered promptly, professionally, and cheerfully and with such personal interest, that, over the course of time, we have grown to feel that these two people are our extended family.
When we came for our tastings, Steve and Evan outdid themselves. Every morsel was scrumptious and presented so beautifully that the entire meal was a culinary delight. Alan Fried and Jacob were knowledgeable beyond their years with their helpful pairing of wines for each course and we appreciated it. My father is a wine aficionado and he was very pleased with all of the wines we chose.
Finally, during that last stressful week before the wedding, we met Anthony Panchery, and we knew we were in capable hands. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff conducted the event as smoothly as a symphony, attentive to even the tiniest details. Latonya, our bridal attendant was terrific! We expected perfection. The reception exceeded even our expectations! The cocktail hour, wedding feast, and Viennese tables were culinary and visual masterpieces!!! Our cake was not only magnificent, but just as delicious on our one year anniversary as it was on our wedding day.
For weeks after the wedding, we were inundated with phone calls, letters, and emails from relatives and friends telling us that our wedding was the most wonderful event they had ever attended. Two of our friends have since had their receptions at The Palace and people are still raving about their experiences as well.
