Why La Casa Pasta’s Event Spaces Are Perfect for Small Wedding Receptions
Finding the right venue for your small wedding reception means balancing intimacy with elegance, and authentic charm with professional service. At La Casa Pasta, we've been hosting small wedding receptions since 1978, creating celebrations where your closest family and friends can truly connect over exceptional Italian cuisine in spaces designed for memorable moments.
What Makes Our Spaces Ideal for Intimate Wedding Receptions
Small weddings deserve venues that feel personal, not oversized or impersonal. Our Giuseppe Room holds up to 80 guests and sits adjacent to our main dining room, giving you privacy while staying connected to the restaurant's warm energy. The marble floors and brick accents create a casually elegant atmosphere that feels special without being overwhelming.
Flexible Spaces That Grow With Your Guest List
We accommodate weddings from 15 to 100 guests, depending on the room and season. With over four dining areas, both private and semi-private, we can match the space to your celebration. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for 20 or a reception for 80, the room feels just right for your group.
No rental charge applies to our private rooms, though food and beverage minimums do apply. This approach means more of your budget goes toward what matters most, the food and the celebration itself.
Service That Focuses on Your Celebration
We provide event coordination services, giving you a dedicated contact who understands wedding timelines and family dynamics. Planning a small wedding often means wearing many hats, so having professional support for the logistics lets you focus on what matters most.
Need flowers or entertainment? We coordinate with our preferred vendors, streamlining your planning without limiting your choices. Audiovisual equipment is available for an additional fee with advance notice, perfect for toasts, music, or sharing photos with guests during dinner.
Italian Cuisine That Brings Families Together
Since 1978, we've specialized in authentic Northern and Southern Italian recipes that create the kind of meal families remember. Our catering menu includes everything from antipasto and bruschetta to substantial entrées like seafood cannelloni and chicken parmigiana. All packages can be tailored to your budget and dietary needs, with specialized meals available for restrictions.
Our dessert menu offers traditional Italian options like tiramisu and cannoli alongside modern favorites. Outside cake is permitted with a cake cutting fee. Dessert wines are available to complement your celebration.
Conclusion:
After over 48 years of hosting weddings, we understand that small receptions need flexibility, personal attention, and food that creates lasting memories. Featured in News Journal Reader's Choice Awards and Delaware Today's Best of section, La Casa Pasta has earned the trust of families throughout the region.
