For our guests, service and quality are always our absolute top priorities. To ensure that we are always creating flawless food, we do not offer buffet-style options.

Part of our process while planning your event is offering a food tasting. It is designed for you as the bride and groom. You will have the opportunity to taste each of the items on our menu to make the best selections for your event. We cannot promote the level of service we are so well known for without providing it for you to test out on your own before your very special day. We strongly recommend that all of our guests take the time to visit Vetro at some point during their process as well to better understand the quality of our food and menus.
We can do a hospitality hour with miniature sandwiches, cookies, pastries, and fruit. The full open bar will be open and coffee, cappuccino, teas, and espresso will be served for any early comers. We are in the works of making a separate hospitality area for all the guests, again something to look forward to in the future as we are consistently growing as an establishment.
