Had an amazing time! The environment was great and musicians did a phenomenal job. Definitely recommend especially for a date night! I will be attending more in the future.

Aria is a up and coming event venue. The growth in Aria from day 1 planning to the wedding day is record breaking. For us it usually meant something changed most of the time for the better. The result was a day we will never forget. Aria does now require a coordinator or event planner. We did not have that requirement and were happy to save money on that part. But we agree that it is very beneficial and will help the whole process run even more efficiently. Aria feels like an escape from the world. Its beautifully hand painted murals set the design for our wedding which were blush, gray, green, gold colors with floral outline designs throughout everything from our save the dates to our thank you notes. The rose garden at Aria is a treasure for fairytale photographers like ours Casie Weathers. There is the option of also being married there, which does allow you to save time on travel from the ceremony to the reception. We wanted to be married in our church, so we decided to have our reception at Aria. The Wedding night went so smoothly. All the staff were nice and at one point it looked like a well-oiled machine during the dinner service. A song from beauty and the beast was playing. It is the song be our guest. It seemed like the staff was dancing/serving to the music. It was magical. Aria does have an in-house florist, which we went with Sahar with Surena Design. She is an artist as well. She took our dreams of long tables with bud vases and candles running down the center and made it real. She was able to work with allergies which made it harder for her and she not only made it work she nailed it. While the site and the people are amazing, Aria is known for the food. Your guest will love you even more for selecting a meal that is a masterpiece. We highly suggest you and your partner select different options to be able to dine on mouthwatering goodness. Eat! They will send the leftovers home with you. Everyone who attended could stop talking about all the details and how beautiful everything was and how amazing all the food was. We are so happy with our choice to go with Aria because at the end of the day the wedding was beautiful and nothing crazy happened day of. Again, we would like to thank the whole team for everything The Camps

I recently hosted a 40th Wedding Anniversary party for my parents at Aria, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Firstly, the venue itself is beautiful. The space was perfectly suited for our event with cocktail hour in the lobby and dinner in the formal ballroom. What truly sets this venue apart is the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the initial inquiry to the day of the event, they were professional, attentive, and accommodating. Every request was met with a smile, and they worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was taken care of. The catering service exceeded our expectations. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the menu, and the staff ensured that everyone's dietary restrictions were accommodated. Overall, I highly recommend this venue for any event. The combination of a stunning space, top-notch amenities, and outstanding service make it the perfect choice. I can't thank the team (Negin and Miguel) enough for making our event truly unforgettable.

We used Aria for a training. Aislinn and the whole staff were responsive and courteous to us. The venue is beautiful with subtle middle Eastern flare and design. It is surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery. They provided delicious meals and again, courteous service. While we didn’t use this for a wedding, it is also beautiful for weddings and other parties.

Aria Events and Catering did an amazing job with our holiday party for 185 people! The venue was elegant and the service and food were absolutely wonderful. They were so helpful in getting all of the details just right. We received so much positive feedback that we've already booked next year's party at Aria!

My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th Anniversary with 130 of our closest friends and family at Aria Events and Catering. You feel the excitement as you enter the gorgeous blue and gold tiled doorway and enter into the open lobby area. We were greeted by the Aria Team of Kazem, Negin, Aislinn and Miguel. This energetic team made us feel at home and over a cup of tea they led us through the process of selecting the venue, flow, menu, drinks, audio, etc. They met our every request in regards to dietary restrictions and special seating. The night of the event we utilized the lobby area for cocktails and appetizers. Then on to the amazing Grand Ballroom complete with hand painted murels on every wall and incredible crystal chandliers!!! We chose buffet and Giorgio’s Hospitality Group headed by Igor and team cooked there on site to provide a beautiful and delicious meal. Giorgio actually provided the food for our wedding 25 years ago so it was very special to have them as the caterer for this special event. Their service and food quality is the best! Thanks to the Aria Team and Giorgio’s Hospitality Group for giving us a beautiful evening we will remember forever! You made the process smooth and easy - 5+ stars to you all! We look forward to future events at this amazing venue.

Look no further- Aria Events and Catering has you covered! 4 event spaces that include a ballroom with a mezzanine that is perfect for a cocktail hour followed by dinner, an outdoor event space called The Garden with a built in stone stage, and a secondary space for a more intimate event for 150 guests or less. Oh and sharing the Head Chef of Parizade puts the icing on the cake!
