Wonderful Experience at Aria
— An Eventective User

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.
Retirement party

My wife organized my retirement party after working for IBM for last 40 years. The guest list were close to 100 people. It was a blast, thanks to my wife's amazing organizational skill. My retirement party was held at Crystals room. Dinner was served family style to each table with dance floor in front of room. The food, audio, video, dance stage, staff (Aislinn, Neghin, Miguel and Igor) and service overall was top notch. We have two family members that are vegetarian and that was taken care of as well. The staff was very accommodating. Our overall experience was 5 star. I would have an event there again.
Thank you. Mike.
