La Banca Brings a Wedding and Event Venue to 268 Genesee St. in Downtown Utica
It gives downtown Utica another option for weddings, showers and company parties, run by a family that has catered locally for more than 30 years.
La Banca is a new family-owned venue for weddings and private events at 268 Genesee St. in downtown Utica, according to the Utica Phoenix and an Oct. 21 Daily Sentinel report.
Owner Jordan Morgan Durr grew the family catering business after her father, Dave Morgan, died in 2023. He started Kitty's more than 30 years ago. Along with the hall, La Banca offers menus built around each event, charcuterie carts and a cannoli-stuffing station. Off-site catering is handled through Eat Well Food Services.
An exact opening date, pricing, capacity and parking details weren't published. To plan an event, contact La Banca at 315-733-2665 or through labancautica.com.
