Event Menu Options

The food served at your party, reception, or banquet can make or break your celebration. Too many wedding and events venues overlook the importance of the food, content to serve guests subpar dishes and relying on formulaic, uninspired menus. But not us. Lake Valhalla Club event menu options are crafted for each individual occasion by our Executive Chef. 

Your celebration deserves a menu that really stands out, with dishes that your guests will love. Let’s start personalizing your menu and planning your event. Contact our Event’s Specialist today at 973-794-6568 for details and to discuss your options.
