VILLA BARONE HILLTOP MANOR

Words can't express how happy we were with the service at the Villa Barone. Our wedding was absolutely fabulous. The food A++. The staff very kind and welcoming always.

If i could have rated them higher i would have. I can't even say enough about the service and quality of work they put in. They truly enjoy what they do and there work shows it! If I had to do it all over again i definitely would book with them again. My husband and I loved it so much we are going to go there ever year for our anniversary to enjoy there ala cart dinners on Thursdays. Thank you everyone at villa Barone hilltop manor for making my wedding everything I could ever dreamed of! :)

Everything was perfect!!! My bridal attendant was...

One special venue and vendors Whose doors never closed because of Hurricane Irene Equals Priceless memories for the bride, groom and family *There is not enough space on this page or in a book to honor the owners, Gianni & Nick, and the staff at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac, NY to thank them all for the professionalism, kindness & warmth that were displayed at all times to the bride Angela Gibbons-Esposito, groom, Christopher Esposito, Lucia, John, John E. Gibbons (mother & father & brother of the bride) and guests during Hurricane Irene. The food was mouth watering, the drinks thirst quenching and the ambiance fit for a King and Queen. We have to go now because we have been shouting it from the rooftops to anyone who will listen. What a class act and no one can top them for sure.

I dont even know where to begin. Everything was AMAZING from start to finish. The hall was beautiful, the food was outstanding and the staff ON POINT from start to finish! Christina was my bridal assistant and she was my best friend for the day. Anything i needed she was there. Nicky catered to everything we needed. The Villa went above and beyond for us and i would recommend them anyday! Thank you all for everything you did for us. Our day couldnt have been any better xoxo JD & Rosanna

The Villa Barone Hilltop Manor was above and beyond our expectations. Throughout the planning they promised to make our wedding perfect and they followed through with that all the way. The food, the staff, the room, everything was amazing. About 10 minutes into cocktail hour they lost power in the entire town and 5 seconds later their backup generator was up and running the place like nothing happened - and it did for the entire night! That alone was worth every penny! Thank you Nicky, Vinny and Robert for making our day so wonderful!

Simply amazing. From our first conversation with them till our actual wedding day, they were always professional and attentive. Till this day, my guest are still raving about all the food and the services Villa Barone provided. I want someone to have a wedding there so Icahn return as a guest and enjoy everything again.

They treat you with white glove service. You feel like you are family. You don't need to worry about anything which relaxes you knowing you are in good hands. Johnny, Rob, Vinny, Christine were all very helpful in making our special day the most talked about wedding that our guests have ever been to. I highly recommend this venus if you want a peace of mind and exceptional wedding to remember.

Let me begin by saying that this review could not possibly do the Villa Barone justice! You have to see it to believe how amazing the venue and the people are here. We did our booking with Nicky but by the time the wedding came along we knew everyone there on a first name basis, even Jaqueline at the front desk! Everyone was willing to help and cater to us from day one! Room... We went with the upstairs room because we had almost 300 people and I love the chandeliers!! It truly looks like a ballroom! You also have a private patio for your guests if you choose that room. Bridal Attendant... Billy Jo was amazing! She told us exactly what to expect for every part of the wedding (walking in, first dance, greeting guests, everything!!!) She was always a step behind me filling my glass, fixing my dress, or taking good care of the cards people were handing us. I didn't need my bridesmaids for anything. She helped me go to the girls room and bustled my dress without any help or hesitation! I had a second dress, the first one was a ball gown, the second was a form fitting one that tied up the back. Again, with no help she had me change in minutes. I truly felt like a princess!! Thanks Billy Jo!- Nicky give her a raise ;) Vendors... Nicky helped us choose the most amazing vendors (which I will be writing reviews about them in the near future too!) All the vendors I chose (flowers, dj, photographer)have worked with the Villa Barone and I couldn't have been happier with ALL of them! Food... Well this was one of our priorities!!! When we booked we asked for two things, great service and good food, and Nicky promised us both and pulled through with more than we could have imagined!!! We had gone to a wedding a month before there and my very particular (somewhat hard to please) mother did not like the choice of dinner selections and became very nervous about the food. We went to Nicky with her concerns and at our tasting he said he would have the chef cook all night for us until we found the dishes we were satisfied with. It didn't take long to choose what we liked (filet mignon, crusted filet of sole, and our favorite the stuffed chicken!!!) When we got to the wedding my Dad (who's Greek and in the restaurant business as were so many of our guests) came up to us and the first thing he said was that the lamb was delicious!! He talked about the lamb before he congratulated us lol! Everyone raved about the cocktail hour, especially the shrimp (so glad we added it)! The cake was beautiful and delicious! My only regret was not taking some home! I only got to taste the one huge piece that my husband shoved in my face. The viennese hour was insane!!! Everyone raved about this too! The display they put on is memorable! We decided on the chocolate fountain last minute and I am so glad we did! It looked beautiful! Tasted good too! And on top of everything, they came around with samples of each of the dinner options for everyone to taste if they still had room! My husband and I didn't really get to eat very much so Billy Jo packed us the chicken and steak and thank god she did! We ate it when we got back to our hotel and it was delicious even cold! Service... Rob was our maitre'd and was excellent! He was so attentive of us and of both of the main tables (the mom tables)! There wasn't a glass empty or a napkin not folded all night! Some of my guests also commented on how attentive the wait staff was, so I know they weren't just catering to us! They were catering to all of our guests. Nicky was there all night. Even Vinnie and Johnny came to see how things were going. It's a family business and you feel like family when you deal with them. I wouldn't hesitate to have more of our family functions there in the future! I could go on for hours about our experience with the Villa Barone! The bottom line is ...our wedding was amazing all because we chose the Hilltop Manor!!! The only thing that went wrong was that it went by too quickly. I am still on cloud nine! To all the staff at the Villa Barone...I can't thank you enough!

We were married on July 8th, 2011. After the ceremony, the skies opened up and it began pouring. We reached the Villa Barone safely and waiting for us outside with umbrellas was the Matre D, bridal attendant and other workers. From the moment we stepped off of our party bus, EVERYONE at the Villa Barone made us turn torrential rain into a rainbow. The entire night was absolutely perfect from beginning to end! Not only was my husband and I treated like royalty, but our parents were as well. Family members and friends are still raving to us about the food that was served to them that night. They cannot stop raving about how outstanding it was! I had a very specific way I wanted the room set up and when I walked into it that night, it was absolutely EXACTLY how I envisioned it. It was perfect! Overall, my entire experience from the planning stage to our actual wedding day was absolutely perfect! I want to give a special shout out to Vinny, Rob and Billie Joe who made sure our day was so special! I HIGHLY recommend the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor for your wedding reception!!! Thanks so much for making our day perfect!!!! :), Nikki and Kevin

The guys at the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor are AMAZING!!!!! They took control of everything so I didn't have to worry about anything!! Before I could even think about something it was DONE! They surpassed my expectations, I am extremely happy with everything they made my day amazing. No other hall can compare :)

I just had my wedding at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor 3 weeks ago and it was AMAZING!!!!! Everyone was so great there! The food was amazing!!!! I never think wedding food is good, but this really was!!! The viennesse hour is amazing!!!!! We got so many compliments on the wedding. The space is beautiful and the view is great!!!! There are so many opportunities for pictures at Villa Barone. The staff is just amazing, so helpful and very nice!!!! They are on top of everything!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Villa Barone for your wedding or event.

The Hilltop Manor was a wonderful choice for our wedding. Every detail and request was accounted for and made our wedding day go off without a hitch. I highly recommend The Hilltop Manor for every special event! The food, desserts and drinks are all delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how normally catering hall food isn’t very good but at The Hilltop they cleaned their plates. Every dessert and coffee station was amazingly scrumptious! The staff is welcoming and always helpful. Thank you to everyone at the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor for making our wedding day perfect, special and memorable!

Robert and all the staff at Villa Barone were fantastic!!!! they helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to make the day everything we wanted. They made sure it was all about me and my husband. The staff helped us find vendors and the food cake and the whole day was perfect. Our ceremony they made romantic and breathtaking with there grounds and amaizing views from the hills to waterfalls, fountains, gardens to there beautiful lake house on mahopac lake. we loved everyminute of our wedding thanks to Robert and the villa barone staff

The Villa Barone Hilltop Manor.....where do I even begin?? They only can give 5 out of 5 stars on here...but I would rate them an 11 off the charts. There just doesn't seem to be enough words to describe how outstandingly wonderful they are! From the very begining from our first meeting, to the whole planning process, and right until the very end of the night. They were the most flexible, understanding, caring and professional people I have ever had the absolute pleasure to have make my DREAM wedding come true!! They totally worked with us within our budget, and didn't try to "sell" us anything we didn't want or couldn't afford like some other vultures out there do. Vinny and Nicky...you were superb! You and your staff treated me and my guests like we were family. I don't even think the word "NO" is in their vocabulary, because there was no request that was denied us. Everyone was absolutely BLOWN away by everything from the littlest details down the the major events, food and the atmosphere. Even our guests who regularly attend big "New York style" weddings said that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to! Everything was planned and timed perfectly!! We didn't feel like we missed a thing, which is something you hear most couples complain about with their weddings. Well, not here. My advice to any brides out there looking for the best wedding they can possibly have....go to the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor, you will NOT be disappointed!! Thank you again Villa Barone, with my deepest and most sincere grattitude. You made my dream wedding come true. :) Love, Alicia and Rob

We had our summer wedding at the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor, and mainly worked with Nick. This place was a dream. We had our ceremony outside and the reception in the second floor hall. We actually booked before they did some renovation to the place and everything was finished as promised. Nick worked closely with my husband and I to come up with a tailored menu which the guests still talk about. My father has been in the restaurant business his whole life and the food and service was well beyond his expectations. We also opted for the Viennese tables and all I can say is WOW!!! I couldn't believe this wedding was mine! Again, what a dream. The venue itself has so many different areas to take photos and our album came out phenomenal because of the variety of scenery. The staff at the Villa Barone felt like family and friends, and I have nothing but raving reviews for the entire experience beginning to end.
