Villa Croatia @ The American Croatian Lodge

responsive, went above and beyond to meet all of our requests and make sure our day went amazing. Everything was reasonably priced, the food and staff were great, and the whole night went off without any issues. The hall was beautiful too! I highly recommend working with Tina :) if she had been there from the beginning, wedding planning would have been a breeze!

roughout the entire process! Food was great too!

r this venue and was promised so many things and when it came down to the big day nothing went as promised or even as stated in the contract. I initially made a down payment and then Tony Radan kept calling every 2 weeks asking for more money even though the agreement was to have it all paid 2 weeks before the event. He went on about how he has to pay his workers and they are tight on money that month and such. He was so desperate for the cash that he would call and say if you can bring $2000 today by 4pm I will deduct $1500 off of your initial price. All of a sudden it started sounding sketchy. I ended up doing it and then he started calling again asking for more money. Don't trust this guy or his family they are thieves. Now the big day is here first thing when I arrived the hall was extremely dirty we were told that they had a crew that would clean up throughout the night after any events we dropped off center pieces for the tables I was promised 55-60 tables come to find out 49 were set out. Was told the other tables will be set out which never were. Next our head table was supposed to be on stage, they placed it on the dance floor. When I asked to have it moved the father started cursing and saying are you serious that's a lot of work. I said never mind I will move the 3 tables myself. Later on when my guest started arriving and the food arrived Tony promised we would have plates, silverware, napkins, etc. at the buffet line for our guest. I get a call in the middle of taking pictures with my wife saying hey your guest don't have plates. I had one of my guest at the hall talk to him to bring out the plates and silverware he promised. It was embarrassing and he continued to ruin the night even more. My wife ended up getting injured on the dance floor because there was liquid spilled and not a crew in sight to clean up in these types of situations. She ended up dislocating her knee and had to be taken to the ER around 11pm. Per my contract I had the venue until 1am. Immediately after my departure for the ER Tony Radan, his father, and his brother started telling my guest to get out the party is over and they started using vulgar language towards them. I ended up having to call him from the ER because my guest were upset and telling him a contract is a contract and my Wife and I would like our guest to continue the party because everything was going to be ok here. He finally was like ok 1am is fine. At the end of the night as my family started cleaning up they noticed things were missing. Tony's father had hid some of the beer and wine that was brought in, they never returned the cake stand that was rented, also there was some dessert that never made it to the dessert table. I have been trying to contact Tony for 5 days now and he will not return a call or a message. I can go on an on about how Tony Radan and his family ruined our reception night but I will leave this here and hope that any future couples and families are aware of this man and his family's wrongdoings.

tting married on a Friday in order to have the Main Ballroom (we had 250 guests). It was just gorgeous with the wall lights, and we had a great amount of space... most of all, I love the HUGE dance floor! Tony was simply the BEST site coordinator. He was so professional and eager to accommodate us. The dinner was family style, and we selected several dishes from their menu to be served. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food and the wait staff! I love the "Old World" charm here, and each staff person really treats you like family. Simply the BEST experience!
