Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rizzo’s Malabar Inn, Crabtree

A wedding at Rizzo's Malabar Inn in Crabtree comes with an Italian family table behind it. Besides the restaurant, the family runs a separate reception hall and banquet facility with three decorated ballrooms and outdoor patios set in landscaped grounds, so your wedding photos and video can move from the patios to the dance floor without leaving the property.

You can hold more than just the party here. The hall lists an on-site ceremony along with the wedding reception and rehearsal dinner, so the whole wedding day can stay in one place. The outdoor patios are the natural spot for pictures of the two of you and your wedding party while guests settle in, and each of the three ballrooms is professionally decorated, which gives your photographer a finished room to work with.

The hall holds events from 50 to 250 guests. It has a built-in audio and video system with screens and projectors, handy for a slideshow during dinner, and your wedding videographer will want to ask about it before the toasts. A newly designed lobby and new restrooms keep guests comfortable between courses. The food is the family's own Italian cooking, and wedding prices are given on request. Rizzo's also caters at other venues if you fall for the menu but need a different room.

• Call to schedule a visit to the reception hall and ask about dates.
• Ask which ballroom suits your guest count and where a ceremony would be set.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the patio for pictures.
