We hosted our wedding dinner at DeGidio’s following a small courthouse wedding. We had 130 guests. I cannot rave enough about the DeGidio’s staff and their venue. Their communication from the beginning was prompt and so helpful. Their venue is spacious but cozy, the food is delicious. But the best part - their staff is unmatched. Our bartenders were so kind and friendly, they ensured all of our needs were met and checked on us multiple times throughout the evening. We’d host another event there without question, we truly had a wonderful experience and our guests had nothing but stellar things to say, as well!
