I admit, I've been a fan for years. When I decided to check them out for my wedding I was hoping for the best. And WOW, did I get it! They recently did some amazing renovations that made it beautiful, which was a lovely surprise. I had a lot of complicated things I wanted done and they kicked butt stepping up to do it all, even figuring out a work-around when something I planned wouldn't work. The room for the ceremony was gorgeous and they somehow got all the seats in. They let me do some set-up the evening before when we came for the rehearsal for things like family pics of loved ones to remember.
They handled passing out the stunning flowers from Sunset/Stein Florist on Sunset Road in Willingboro, NJ. to the bridal party like pros.
I'm disabled, and needed to come in using the handicapped ramp, but didn't want to be seen until I came in to walk the short distance down the aisle. They put a curtain at the short hallway there, so I could get ready in private. They work with a fabulous DJ, named Terry O'Sullivan, with whom I spent many hours crafting just the right music to create a stunning atmosphere. He was very generous with his time and knowledge. And clearly knew exactly how to do things.
And the food and the service were top shelf! The hot hors d'oevres served by circulating staff were a bit hit. The prime rib was to die for, and I got good reports on the veal milano. I ordered the salmon, but forgot to say I wanted it rare. The wedding coordinator, Danielle, was so responsive that she noticed I wasn't happy, and asked if she could do anything. In a trice I had a new piece of salmon, perfectly cooked. The staff was perfect. The food was yummy, we were all surprised by how delicious they made the penne with vodka sauce. The ice cream dessert to be served with the stunning cake from J&B Bakery in Burlington, was everything they promised.
And when we were done, a flood of staff descended on the room to pack up everything we needed to take with us and pass it out to my new husband in the parking lot near the ramp, making it super easy for us to get packed and get home.
YES, THE NEXT TIME I HAVE AN EVENT IT WILL BE HERE. I've been to other "halls" for big affairs, but they truly can't hold a candle to the experience we had at Carlucci's Waterfront, where Rosaria and Danielle, and all the staff, make you feel like family.
PS. The improvements continue, with new spacious restrooms...
Read moreCame here on a Sunday to celebrate my nephew’s conformation. We had a party of 9 with reservations for lunch. When I arrived the hostess was warm and welcoming. Our table was ready. We arrived a few minutes early so we decided to sit at the bar to have a cocktail until the whole party arrived. The bar tender sparkle was attentive and welcoming. We got our drinks and she gave us great information about the restaurant and great suggestions for drink and food selections. Drinks were fabulous and was great to chat with someone who takes pride in her her work and where she works it showed and her suggestions were spot on. Our party all arrived and we were promptly seated. We had a beautiful table that was facing the waterfront which was perfect on this beautiful day it was great seeing boats come up n down the creek. Our server “bob” immediately came over and took drink and app orders. He also had great information n suggestions and was very accommodating to our party and answered all our questions without annoyance. In a short time all of our drinks were delivered and then our apps. We enjoyed the seafood tower and the crabmeat bruschetta was amazing. Everything was fresh and tasty. Bob was a fantastic server always around taking care of table refreshing drinks but never a bother or felt like he was hovering. A perfect balance. We enjoyed all the apps and then put in our entrees. Lobster tails were fresh cooked perfectly n delicious. The steak was prepared to perfection on my request. My family and I had a great time and made a memory that will last. The atmosphere is inviting and classy. All areas were clean including bathrooms. This was my first time coming here and was off a recommendation n. I glad I chose this restaurant to host such an important family event. We all had a great experience and I would recommend to my family and friends. I will be back for dinner and am looking forward to the new 4 season patio that my will be opening soon. If you looking for great food delicious drinks and excellent service. I suggest you give this a try you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a great experience an bob and sparkle you both were amazing! Thank you!! I did not receive anything for this review nor was I asked to leave a review I just am a believer that good service is not that common anymore and when found should be rewarded. ...
Read moreWhat can I possibly say about this place?! Not enough great words to describe how amazing they are and how they exceeded my high expectations. We decided to have our small and intimate wedding here without ever stepping foot into the venue. We looked at their photos online and decided this would be the perfect place for us. We initially dealt with the phenomenal Rosaria. We came in and she generously gave us over an hour of her time without ever rushing us. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and we walked away feeling so confident in our decision to have our wedding there. She was so sweet and warm and truly made us feel so happy to have made the decision to book with them. A few weeks later, we decided to have a date night at Carlucci's to taste the food and experience the ambiance. We were NOT DISAPPOINTED!! We were instantly greeted by Rosaria who treated us like family and sat us down right away. She introduced us to Danielle. She was so personable and polite and made sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. Fast forward to a few weeks before our wedding on June 23rd, I was in touch with Rosaria and Danielle who were both very invested and super involved in my planning. Danielle made sure to keep communicating with me with any updates and questions. She made me feel so at ease and was super patient with me. I was also introduced to Ashley and BOTH Carlos. In my previous experiences as a wedding vendor (I'm a bridal makeup artist), it is typical to only have one point of contact, so I was a little hesitant to work with anyone other than Rosaria or Danielle. However, everyone at Carlucci's made me feel like I truly had a whole team behind me. Everyone was super involved and dedicated and they never skipped a beat! I was always made to feel confortable and confident that they would make sure that EVERYTHING was meticulously and intricately completed to my liking. To be honest, everyone and everything at Carlucci's surpassed my (very high) expectations. The food and service was amazing and all of my wedding guests were beyond pleased with everything. I can't recommend them enough whether you just want to have a romantic dinner or an extravagaevent event, or an intimate wedding or celebration...this is the perfect place for it all! Thank you guys so...
