Came for the Thanksgiving Buffett at 1:30pm, the food was not good. Turkey was basically scraps, unbelievably dry and no turkey gravy. Ran out of mashed potatoes and never restocked, mac and cheese had a layer of oil sitting on top, yuck! Nobody working the carving station. Sushi plate that looked like someone dropped it and put it back on the table, again, never restocked. Coffee pots empty. Over all a horrible meal and a VERY disappointing Thanksgiving meal.

My husband and I had our reception at LaMalfa over the weekend and all I can say is... WOW. From the first appointment to the reception itself, Marty and his team took care of us, answered every question, and made us feel comfortable. I never dreamed that we could afford a venue of that caliber, but even with the silver package, upgraded bar, and many other details, we got the best bang for our buck. Our guests have been gushing over the food and drinks for days.
We cannot thank the LaMalfa team enough for throwing us one heck of a beautiful party!!! We would recommend this venue to anyone!

We've been to the party cntr 3 times. This last time, Mothers day, was disappointing. The roast beef, turkey, and mashed potatoes were all very dry. I will say the sausage and peppers was delicious. They had a lot of side dishes, mostly salad types. I call it fillers to make up for not having enough main dishes. I also think that at $40-$45 a person you should not have to pay extra for pop. Liquor and wine yes, but not soft drinks. The center itself especially the washrooms were clean and absolutely beautiful.

Our Alumni Football Club at Lake Catholic had our event last night (1/25/20). The staff at LaMalfa starting with Marty LaMalfa, Jake, Steven, the bartenders and servers were all so accommodating. We highly recommend LaMalfa for any event. The ambience is top rated, service outstanding, the food was excellent and the audio visual equipment was superb. Marty added additional hors d oeuvres and stopped by our event to ensure all was well. There was another event going on next door and there was plenty of parking. We will definitely be back for our next event at LaMalfa. Good job!

I booked LaMalfa Party Center a year ago for my 40th high school class reunion which took place on June 29, 2018. Marty LaMalfa and his staff were a pleasure to work with on this event. Renee was very helpful and cheerful in all my dealings with her; she genuinely cared about how I wanted the evening to go and you could tell she loves her job. Marty added bling to the event with the crystal bead curtains and greenery to the table settings. Erica pitched in by adding charming crystals to the tabletops. The food from start to finish was incredible, the bartenders were top notch and very efficient, Greg, our banquet captain was very attentive, the servers and set up crews were amazing as well. From the beginning to the end, the night was magical. Thank y'all for making Riverside High School Class of 1978's 40th class reunion a night to remember! It truly was awesome!

The owner is rude and does not handle complaints professionally. He made changes to a wedding I was in recently to accommodate his friends. Did not notify the bride or groom of the changes the bridal party happen to notice it while getting ready. When we Questioned the changes and the inconvenience to the wedding and the other event that was moved we were given the ridiculous excuse of it was a corporate decision .
They also allowed other people from other events going on at the same time to enter our event freely and help themselves to food and beverages. They were not stopped by the employees. The bride and groom and their families had to ask to have the uninvited guests removed.
I would not recommend this place to anyone for any event.

Marty and his entire family are always friendly, courteous, efficient and very professional..They will always accommodate your requests without hesitation.. I have attended many events there from New Year's Eve to reverse raffles and weddings. My hubby Billy and I had our wedding reception there in July of 2000. Marty and his staff did an excellent job of fulfilling every one of our wants and needs that day! Our friends and family still talk about it today, sayibg it was the best reception they have ever been to! The selection of food is always amazing and delicious!

We have been attending their New Year's Eve party for 7 years. Very disappointed this year. I could not cut through my beef and the pasta was too spicy. The wait at the bar was horrible. We waited in line for the 10 o'clock snacks all that was left was nuts. The band and the DJ only played 3 slow songs after dinner. Missed dancing to 2 of them because my husband was in the line for the bar. The DJ played too much modern music, such as rap. Couldn't get to the bar in time for champagne. This year it was not worth the money. I can say the deserts were good. For $160 we expect more than good deserts
We will be looking for somewhere for next year.

I had my wedding ceremony here in June 2016. I live all the way in North Carolina. Even with me living so far, they were very helpful and informative. I did all of my planning via email and over the phone. (It helped that I had prom here, so I pretty much knew what it looked like!!). When it was time for our ceremony, they took the time out to meet me and shake my hand. I felt like they cared about ME and not just the money I was giving them to have my wedding there. They really try to make your day/event special. Thank you to all of you that helped me plan my special day from miles away!

2020 Easter Brunch was cancelled and attendees are not getting refunds. I was offered another event that I am not available or interested in attending but denied over 500.00 refund. If the Mother's Day Brunch is cancelled you will also be out of money. Be aware.

We recently had our wedding at LaMalfa this past Saturday, July 21st. Everything went smoothly from the planning up to the ceremony and reception. Marty was very helpful and insightful with the planning and on the day of the wedding. The staff took care of everything for us so we didn't have to worry. The venue looked amazing and so was the food. Well my steak was a little overcooked for my taste but that's because I like mine blue/rare. But overall LaMalfa is a great venue with great food and service. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to hold a wedding or another big occasion.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at LaMalfa. My husband and I had our wedding reception there in October 2016. We had an awesome experience from day one after we met with Mr. LaMalfa until the big day. They took care of absolutely anything we requested and went out of there way to make the day everything we dreamed of. They were so well organized throughout the entire planning process and they took care of absolutely everything. All we had to do was ask and whatever we needed was taken care of promptly. We could truly put out trust in Marty LaMalfa and actually enjoy the day without stressing about the little details. All of our guests loved the venue and we did not hear a single negative comment following our reception. The food was phenomenal and no one went hungry. If you're looking for a venue with elegance, fantastic food, courteous and considerate staff to take care of anything you need or want I would highly recommend LaMalfa!

I had my wedding here on June 23rd this year. We had 150 guests or so and were in the bigger room. LaMalfa is great about being a one stop shop for the reception. He handled all details and set up of the room including tables, lighting, food, desserts, bar, and even an ice sculpture. For as much as you would pay to separately contract out all of those details I only had to deal with LaMalfa. His attention to detail is second to none. He knows how to make a reception look and feel elegant and everything was perfect. Food was very good especially hors d'oeuvres. My guests also loved the bar service. The bartenders were all very nice and apparently funny too which is a plus at an open bar for them to be so great with all the drinks they had to make all night.
Overall, this was the easiest option for me to get an extremely nice reception. It is not the cheapest reception hall in the area but in my opinion it is worth paying more for the service and food you get with LaMalfa. Huge bonus that he handles all details too .
Only watch outs is there is the possibility to have 3 other weddings there and there are temporary walls set up, you honestly couldn't hear the other weddings and there are plenty of bathrooms so that's not an issue. Also minimal outdoor space if that's important to you. Hotel is attached and you get a discount so that's another nice point but rooms ran out for last minute guests for me so they stayed at hotels right down the street. If you want to customize things beyond lamalfas packages you also probably need a wedding planner to set up or just have family do it because you get access the day before in the afternoon so it's a tight window to do it yourself .

RoomsFood was just okay. The beer selection was not good only 3 on tap, Miller lite, Labat blue and Flat tire IPA. The liquor was not top shelf. The hot aorderves were excellent. The set up for a wedding was not good. Two separate rooms you could not see or hear what was going on.

2018 Easter Brunch $55.00 per per person and I had to chase down the server to inform her all four coffee dispensers were empty, there was over a 20 minute wait for waffles, a line was forming for clean silverware and to top it off the food was like luke warm.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at LaMalfa. Everything went off without a hitch. They really pay attention to all the little details that go into a wedding day. Marty and his team took care of everything so we didn't have to worry about anything. Our guests could not stop talking about how great everything was: the space, the food the bar, the service. We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding here!

I myself have enjoyed 2 Commodore's Ball Events in my Honor. It is true that you get what you pay for, But At LaMalfa, You Get More. From the Ice Carving to the Admirals Appetizers to the Flaming Coffee Bar to the Sparking Deserts. Mr. Martin LaMalfa personally executed every detail to perfection. Special Thanks to the Lovely Event Planner and her staff. The All Suite Hotel topped off the weekend. Whether it is a Wedding, Corporate, Fundraiser or Special Event, nothing compares to the Elegance, Quality, and Value of LaMalfa Centre. Thank You.

My husband and I recently stayed at Wingate by Wyndham at La Malfa and we had a wonderful experience. Upon arrival, there was one guest ahead of us being checked in, we had no issues loading our luggage on the luggage cart and waiting no more than five minute to be checked in to our executive suite. The front desk personnel was very chipper and helpful as to letting us know the amenities that were available during COVID. We were pleased to find out that the pool was available, and even though they had two volleyball teams that had recently booked with the hotel we would hardly even know they were there. The front lobby was immaculate. Beautiful furniture, creative lighting, and we could vaguely see the attached banquet hall. The actual room was larger than expected. The entry gave way to a office area perfect for my daily work. The room had two separate televisions, kitchenette, couch, beautiful wall mounted mirrors, closet space, a large COMFORTABLE bed. Please read fluffy pillows galore. I am definitely one that likes to be able to put my belongings away. I found the room to have lots of dresser drawer spaces as well as the standard bedside nightstands. Ample lighting in the room, helped me with my office work later in the evening. And those volleyball teams, we never noticed them when my husband and I went for our dip at 10pm. The pool accommodated our schedule staying open late. The pool area in and of itself was very well kept. It had small water foutains drawing attention to the sides. water jets located in the stair area. Nice seating poolside. and even though there was snow on the ground outside, it was well over 80 in the swimming area. I highly recommend this hotel. It was well worth the money spent. Very clean, very well kept, and high spirited employees. I do see myself going back there in the future.

Mother s Day brunch was very disappointing! My husband and I treated our children, spouses and grandchildren 14 in all. Needless to say, it was not a memorable experience. We arrived at 12:30 hoping to still have hot fresh food. Plate stack was empty, food trays were not kept up, most cold, undercooked sausage, sticky utensils, some food trays empty, no rolls left, deserts were a mess, and unappetizing. No water on tables, had to pay for soft drinks, and absolutely nobody walking around to be of service to you. Our dirty dishes piled in the middle of our table until finally an employee came by and proceeded to scrape all the dirty dishes into one plate. So wrong on all levels. I was still eating at that point and could not believe he was doing such a thing. I thought LaMalfa was a classy place, not by what I witnessed. Did I mention one of the servers at the carving station laughed and said she didn t know what she was doing. WOW!
