“We held our wedding reception at Bar Marco, and it honestly exceeded our expectations. Shelby was fantastic to work with—she coordinated everything in the weeks leading up to the event over email, and was just as great on the actual day. The food was outstanding—our guests couldn’t stop talking about the pesto pasta and salad. The staff was incredibly attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, which made the day feel effortless on our end. The space itself is stunning, filled with natural light and ideal for photography. They even helped coordinate with our florist and set up the arrangements, and the final result was absolutely beautiful.”
“Bar Marco was an exceptional venue for our wedding, and working with Shelby and the entire team was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Shelby was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and easy to work with. On the wedding day, I didn’t have to think about a single thing. Shelby and her team handled all setup, logistics, and flow seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The level of care and professionalism was unmatched. The food was absolutely insane, in the best way. During photos after the ceremony, the kitchen staff brought us snacks in the yard, which was such a thoughtful and memorable moment. And somehow, those chicken tendies were genuinely the best we’ve ever had. Our guests are still talking about the food, and how it elevated the entire experience. The space itself is warm, beautiful, and full of character. I can honestly say I walked away from wedding planning one of the very few people with no wishes that anything had been done differently and that is entirely because of Bar Marco and their incredible team.”
“We had our wedding reception at Bar Marco and it was perfect. Shelby made the planning process so easy, and the staff went above and beyond on the day of. The food was incredible and our guests are still raving about it. The service was warm and seamless, and the space created the exact atmosphere we wanted: intimate, fun, and special. We could not have imagined a better place to celebrate.”
“Hadn’t been here for dinner in a while and decided to bring my mom for her birthday. The dining area is quite small so I would recommend a reservation! We were seated and greeted promptly. I started with a cocktail which was tasty. For starters, we ordered the focaccia, sformato, and the arancini. The focaccia and arancini were good, but the sformato was the standout. Would definitely recommend ordering if you’re there for the spring menu. For entrees, I had the bolognese bianco which was delicious and just the right amount of richness. My mom had the lamb orecchiette which she said she enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the rosemary hazelnut pana cotta, it was just the right amount of sweetness and something unique. Overall a great meal.”
“Great cocktails! Intimate and cozy vibe. Good service, food was tasty. We will go back.”
