Wedding Bells: Kris & Mark

We managed to snag Angelo and Vinci’s a few months ago. It was a bit scary, looking for a place, ’cause every site was booked for our wedding day - Saturday, August 27.

I remember my friend Stacey taking me to this Italian restaurant when we were in high school and still skating.

from their website:““Established in 1971, Angelo’s and Vinci’s Ristorante is a family-run establishment with a festive, theatrical, highly decorative Italian atmosphere that makes any meal a celebration! Prepare to be transported as you dine on delicious dishes (made from old Sicilian recipes!) amidst the art of the great masters, cherubs, statues, an Italian town square complete with storefronts…even a few monsters in the wine cellar!�?

We chose the Sicilian Room - it just looks cooler than the Romeo and Juliet Room. We managed to reserve it for 75 people - the banquet coordinator made an exception for us. Guests cans skip going through the restaurant - by using this separate entrance.

Our package comes with the cake, DJ, all-you-can-eat buffet and all-you-can-drink bar…..there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
