Sue Vaiana made my life so easy. She was there to provide service with everything I needed. She wowed my guests. They are still raving about my wedding and the food that never stopped coming.

The quality of service offered by the team at Nicotra's is beyond anything we could have hoped for. Each team member went above and beyond to dedicate their time to our wedding day and the end result was magificient. Sue in events was such a pleasure to deal with. She has such a positive upbeat attitude and liked to think outside the box which was important to us. She was readily available to help with literally any and all requests we had. Jeff attended to our event and made sure our room was 100% perfect by the time we entered it. The food came out on time and the service provided by his team was top knotch. The food in itself was outstanding! So much variety and so very delicious! All of our guests complimented us on how great their food was. Mr. & Mrs. Nicotra were also present which to us was such a nice touch. As very busy people they took time from their hectic schedules to be a part of our day and that in itself showed us how serious they take their business and how much they ...

We wanted to be a part of the rooftop atmosphere without having to be in the middle of the whole crowd so this worked out perfectly. We also had a bridal attendant Jennifer. She was literally at my side the whole night. I have never been personally catered to so well in my entire life. No task was too big for her and the best part was she was so nice!! We literally have not one negative thing to say about the venue, the staff or the food. They exceeded our expectations and have made our wedding day not only a great memory for my husband and I but but also to all our guests that attended. I strongly suggest you host your next event here.

Everything was amazing at my wedding. I wanted for nothing and the staff was exceptional. My wedding planner Sue and maitre d Tom were absolutely amazing and more than accommodating. I couldn't have asked for better service. Mr. and Mrs. Nicotra stopped bymy wedding to make sure everything was going well. They even gifted us amazing pj's that were personalized for my husband and I. I loved every second of my wedding and would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

Our expeirence at Nicotra's Ballroom was perfect from beginning to end. Working with Jennifer Finch to plan our wedding couldn't have been any easier. The entire day far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have been happier.

I loved everything about Nicotra's Ballroom from the beautiful grounds and outside space to the amazing attention the staff gave all of us. I would have every occassion here if I could.

Nicotra's Ballroom is responsible for the best day of my life. Sue Vaiana guided us through the entire process from start to finish---she answered all our questions quickly and professionally. Her team was incredible. I cannot express how happy I am that I went with Nictora's Ballroom over any other venue we could have booked. They made everything as easy as possible for us---they helped with the timing, the attendants helped us so much throughout the day with any tiny thing we could possibly want. Any need we had was met before we even knew to ask for it. The food is incredible and you get incredible value for your money. The ceremony area is beautiful, our guests were never wanting for anything. The reception was off the charts and Sue worked with our DJ so that he knew when everything was happening and when to get things going and when to tone it down but people were jumping up and dancing the whole time. The parisienne dessert display put all of our guests over the edge-... Read more--they couldn't believe there was even more and that everything was so artfully done----oh man, let me just say----chocolate FOUNTAIN!! Everything about the food was spectacular! None of our guests could possibly walk away from our wedding hungry no matter what their diet restrictions. As soon as the wedding ended, every guest I talked to, whether they were in their 20's or their 60's said it was the best wedding they had ever been to----I know I worked my butt off but I have to say that if it weren't for Sue and her team it would not have been even close to as awesome as it turned out to be because there was so much going on in the background that we didn't have to worry about anything and the team made our wedding smooth as butter. I loved having our venue as part of the hotel where our guests stayed for the most part--the hotel room/restaurant/bar and the club, Above, were also incredible! I would recommend this place to anyone who asked!!! You will love it!!!

I don't even know where to start with Nicotra's...the food is amazing, the chef can make whatever you want, most of our menu was custom made....mini Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, skirt steak, lamb, I could go on and on. The staff is ridiculous...you take a sip of water BOOM here comes someone to fill up your water glass, they keep an eye on everything, and there was not one hiccup or issue the entire night. The grounds offers so many photo options and is well taken care of. Liz, our bridal attendant was amazing, she made sure we ate, drank, she was even like a body guard at times making sure that we had time to take a breather and weren't constantly stuck talking and not eating. She even set up our bridal suite room to something that you would see out of a movie...flower petals, candles lit everywhere, cookies! We got so many phone calls afterwards expressing how much people loved EVERYTHING! Lastly, none of this would have happened if it wasn't for Sue, our event planner, I almost wish... Read more I could have married her (don't tell my wife). She was so knowledgable about vendors, steered us in the right direction with everything, knew when to push when she had to and is such a genuine person. No matter when you email her or call, she'll be right there for you. To this day if I'm ever in Staten Island, I call/email Sue to see her and talk. Such a great place! Definitely check it out!!!

This was an amazing venue. Throughout my planning process everyone kept asking if I was stressed and I wasn't at all. The Hilton/ Nicotra's Ballroom assigns you an event planner that helps you throughout the entire process. Shainah was my coordinator and she was amazing. She helped me with everything from picking my vendors, to organizing the breakfast for the following morning. Every time I needed help she was only an email or phone call away. For my wedding day I had a bridal attendant Brianna who took care of my every need the entire day and even sewed my dress when the bustle hook broke. Vito was our maitre d' he was so organized and made my night go amazing without a hiccup. The Nictora's have an amazing staff and beautiful venue. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to any bride that does not want to stress.

Our wedding at Nicotra's was AMAZING!!! Our wedding planner was Sue and she was such a pleasure to work with. She answered all of my questions in a timely fashion ( and there were MANY questions!!) and was always very accommodating with all of the special touches we wanted to have at our wedding!! We had our ceremony outside in the gorgeous gazebo. Our cocktail hour was in the beautiful Trevi Garden. The food was beyond delicious! My bridal attendant Brianna was amazing as well. she did everything from holding my train down the aisle to wrapping up our left overs and putting them in our room for later. All of the staff was super friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. Our friends and family are still talking abut how beautiful our wedding was!! We were provided with a complimentary suite the night of our wedding and came back to find our room lit with candles and scattered with rose petals! We even received PJ's and personalized pillowcases from Mr. & Mrs. Nicotr... Read morea as a wedding gift! My husband & I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day!

My husband and I got married at Nicotra's Ballroom on Labor Day weekend. Everything from the venue itself to the service was wonderful. The staff was so professional and accommodating to our every need. The outdoor gazebo was perfect for an outdoor evening ceremony and was absolutely breathtaking (with minimal flowers needed). There is a bridal swing, fountain, and Chinese garden, beautiful for pictures as well. My bridal attendant was always by my side and had anything you could possibly need on your wedding day in her pocket! We stayed in the bridal suite, which was spacious and very comfortable, and may I add, a 3 chair vanity that the hair and makeup artists really appreciated. We had a Russian style wedding where "Russian Elite Caterering" catered the whole event; this was a huge plus when choosing a venue for us. Overall, Nicotra's Ballroom and the Hilton Garden Inn are a perfect place to celebrate your wedding day. The additional option for friends and family to stay overnig...

Our wedding at Nicotra’s ballroom was everything and more then we could have imagined. Sue was our events coordinator and she went above and beyond our expectations. She was always just a phone call away whenever I needed something no matter how ridiculous it was. The food was excellent and even now a month later our guests are still raving about it. For any one that is getting married here I highly recommend getting Jen as your bridal attendant and Jeff as your Maître D. Jen was there for me the entire night helping me with anything I needed. They also sent food up to our room after the wedding in case we didn’t get to eat. Nicotra’s was the first place we looked for our dream wedding and we knew this was where we were going to get married. Everything was perfect.

OMG, love this place for more than one reason. The obvious, my wedding was beautiful. The staff was amazing Pre, during, post wedding. This place is like a resort, you need to not go anywhere else, not even for pictures, its so beautiful. Nicotra's is the wing of the Hilton Garden Inn. New bridal suites were beautiful. and they have everything you need on site, from Rehearsal dinner at Lorenzo's to couples massages (to take stress away) at Grottos Spa.

Love love love. That is all I can say. From the moment we stepped into Nicotra's my husband and I knew this is wehre we were getting married. We met with Andrea who is the sweetest person that you will ever meet. She was always a phone call or email away during our 15 months of planning. She never hesitated when I sent her an email with a laundry list of questions. At our tasting we met the Chef and he suggested a different way he wcould prepare one of the entrees so it was to our taste. When we arrived at Nicotra's we were met by our bridal attendant Bri, LOVED her! I have heard of horror stories of how bride's didn't like their attendant at other locations but Bri was on top of everything. Everything the night of our wedding was fantastic - the food was exceptional, the service was top notch, and not a thing was out of place. My guests were truly blown away. I couldn't be happier. We received a stay in the bridal suite that night and by the time we went up to our room all our package... Read mores and extras were neatly packed up and put in the room for us. There were even containers of food for us to pick on. Mr. Nicotra and his wife even stopped by during the reception to check on us, they are wonderful. I hope to be invited to a wedding a Nicotra's!!!

I had my wedding at Nicotra's Ballroom on February 19th and I can't say enough good things about this venue. I worked with Jennifer, who answered all my questions and helped greatly with our wedding planning. With 75 guests, we decided to have the cocktail hour in a small portion of the ballroom and the reception in the Tea House. If anyone else is considering this set up, I would highly recommend it. Both rooms were beautiful and the Tea House looked amazing, with four tables set up on each side of the room. I was hesitant at first because i'd usually see the Tea House set up for a cocktail hour but the room is so big, we could have fit many more guests comfortably. The main reason why we chose Nicotra's Ballroom was their reputation. One time while visiting the venue, Mr. Nicotra met with us and showed us every banquet room in the venue. He knew we were having a small wedding but took the time out to answer our questions and give us his feedback. Having a winter wedding I was also... Read more concerned about choosing a location that would be dependable in case of a storm, and Mr. Nicotra put all our worries at ease, explaining that during the event of bad weather, he can have his staff stay at the hotel overnight so everything would be up and running for our wedding. After booking the venue, I was so relaxed and had one less thing to worry about. During the night of our wedding, both the cocktail hour food and dinner was amazing. Friends and family continue to say great things about the food and the venue. The Tea House looked beautiful, and the weather was surprisingly so nice that we were able to take outdoor pictures on the property and at the gazebo. One of my husbands sisters young friends thought the cocktail hour was the dinner and was amazed by all the food she saw throughout the night lol. I didn't think we'd be able to afford a wedding at Nicotra's Ballroom and i'm glad we made the visit to the venue- this was one of the best choices we ever made. I highly recommend this vendor and can't thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect.
