Excellent food and service for my wedding
My family and friends had an excellent time. They raved about the cocktail hour. Joe was there to help us throughout the whole event. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They thought of everything when it came to helping me with my outfit in the bridal suite and packing my things.
You won't find a better Facility!
From begining to end this facility is top-notch & worth every dime! Food was excellent & so was the service. I felt special & was waited on hand & foot on my special day. Thank you Joe Racca, Priscilla & Jenna the young lady who took care of me & my bridal party. Excellent & sparkling clean facility! They pride themselves on customer service & it shows? 5 Stars Love, Donna & Maverick Gaither
Dream Wedding Venue
Russos exceeded my expectations. My Wedding was absolutely beautiful. I had my ceremony in the garden which was stunning. My pictures were amazing due to the beautiful garden, waterfall & gazebo. If you want that fairy tale wedding Russos is the place. Oh did I mention we entered our reception by coming up from the floor?! Yes amazing
