Venues & Event Spaces near Grand Island, NY

“The food was excellent for the most part. Chicken finger sub was delicious, though for hot it wasn't very hot. Fries were crisp and outstanding. Mozzarella sticks were great.

The decor and the music bring played were both good choices. Definitely a must go to place.”

“I've been to every business that provides this experience in Buffalo. This is the most immersive and impressive. We had a great time, Anna was a great host who let us figure things out on our own and beat the room with pride.”

“Getting married here is super simple- it's perfect if that's the type of wedding you are seeking. Everything is straight forward - it's like a one stop shop for wedding needs. The chapel is a nice intimate setting, and the location serves as a place for beautiful photos to commemorate your special day. Our family really enjoyed it. Plus, after the wedding you, are already in Niagra Falls to share your time as newly weds.Elope Niagra really made our ceremony special and memorable. Even enjoyed parking at the dock and seeing the mighty Niagra River and the USA on the other side-its a gorgeous location.I'd recommend it for those who want something special but without all the hassle of wedding planning, yet still getting something really wonderful. The wedding details are all taken care of, and any thing you have to do like paper work, is easily explained and any questions you may have easily answered.There are different packages for different needs -we chose a ceremony in the chapel and photos. It went smoothly.In regards to choosing a special day, all four seasons would hold significant charm for different reasons-we had autumn as it's the season we met ❤️. Can really see the appeal of this service any time of the year.”

“We love the BPO Pops series but are exhausted with the stress of parking! We have gone 1.5 hrs early and done the shuttle but in the cold you may have to wait quite sone time! We have enjoyed many family events and don't want to do the dinner! I guess we are just going to bow out as we age! Unfortunately, we wanted to have our grandkids to more events!”

“I had a fitness events here a few weeks ago and everything was outstanding. The atmosphere, service, and working with Ali was all incredible. Our group loved it, too. THANK YOU!!”

“This is a wonderfully affordable place to let the kids run and bounce the day away, Play U is also good fun and is connected via an activity hallway that is filled with great things for the under 13 crowd.”

“This was the first time I attended a concert at Babeville in Asbury Hall. It was a General Admission event with VIP seating for just the first seven rows of floor chairs.The venue was very historic looking, with lots of wood. The balcony is very cool. They don't serve food, but serve beverages at an upstairs bar. They also have a smaller bar in the basement. The stone work is also really cool down there. The men's bathrooms seemed to have enough capacity to reasonably handle the rush at Intermission.The sound in the room was not bad, but it was a bit muddy sounding. There were warm and cold sound spots scattered through the room.There isn't really onsite parking at the location, so you have to look elsewhere. There are a variety of bars and restaurants within a few blocks, so plenty of before & after gathering places.”

“Vincenne was a joy to work with, professional and personable. The venue was spotless, the restrooms immaculate and decor updated and versatile for all occasions.”

“Gorgeous space right on the water. Our guests loved it. The AC is a huge plus in summer time. Owner is very organized and on top of things. Would definitely host here again.”

“This Edwardian building has some fabulous architecture, and now houses the Ukrainian Cultural Center. We stopped in for some food (the proceeds going to the Ukrainian support the Ukrainian people during the war), and got to see the bar area with it's vaulted ceilings. The bar is staffed entirely by volunteers, and has a neat selection of Ukrainian beers. The food was also made by volunteers, and we needed a translator to order! Everything was great, and the people were all welcoming.While the area isn't the greatest, they do have a parking lot on the east side of the building which can get packed, but offers fenced off-street parking.”

“This is a great community space with pop-up vegan markets, special holiday events, and commercial kitchen space for rent for fledgling vegan businesses. I came for the Valentine's Day market as well as their special St. Patrick's Day vegan reuben event. There's a small shop in the front of the building with the event space behind that and the kitchen behind. What a great addition to the growing Tonawanda vegan scene! A stone's throw from Guud and Evuul and the a hop, skip, and a jump to the Vegan Grocery Store.”

“I love coming down here with my 2 sons. They have food trucks & restaurants up & down the street . They have outdoor seating for some restaurants. They have a big chess game which is cool to play.Idk if they still have the big checkers or not to play . Big seats to Lounge in,There was a ping pong table that me, and the boys always played on ,Amongst other games to play on the sidewalk and a huge chalkboard for people to write things down on, but what they love about Niagara Falls . It's just a fun atmosphere whether you're just going there or if you're on your way to see the Falls or after you leave the fall sit down and just relax or just play some games or get something to eat.”

“Really well organized venue for the recent 18U volleyball Grand Prix. There was plenty of parking and the courts were well lit. The only complaint was the lack of food options at the venue (selection was very limited).”

“I've done my share of event planning over the years from small one hour events to actual conferences, and I cannot say enough about how exceptional our experience here was! I have learned that hotels really nickel and dime you, and when you work for a non profit that takes a hit financially every time you run your big event every year, it gets kind of old. We had our room block across the street at the Sheraton and conference here. The location was perfect in the heart of Niagara Falls and a short walk to the falls. Tom, Kayla, Mark, and the staff we worked with could not do enough for us! The prices are reasonable, well more than reasonable if you're comparing them to an event at a hotel, the staff exceptional, and this place has everything you need for your event's needs! I highly recommend having your next event here.”

“Had to stand outside a very long time to enter the building to play bingo. But when we finally got in, we had a very fun time with the family. There’s a small snack bar. I think the pizza was from Mr Pizza, popcorn was very good just like the movies and they also had alcohol for over 21yrs and pop and water for everyone else.Parking was a little hard.”

“I had my wedding here on 2/24/24 and could not have asked for a better experience. The venue was gorgeous and the staff was phenomenal. Everything ran smoothly and was laid out exactly how I wanted. Dan is the best coordinator I could ever want. He made sure everything went off without a hitch while staying behind the scenes!”

“Really cool place to hold a party, bachelor party or large gathering. There is a lot to do here horse shoes, bocce ball, wallie ball net, basketball court and lot's more. Only complaint is it gets HOT in there.”

“I first came to ArtPark to see the Arkells play a few years back.I loved the concert because of the artist but I thought that it was really spectacular on a beautiful summer evening to be looking west over the Niagara River Gorge and have this wonderful outdoor facility where you can listen to live music.This is part of a much bigger property and I almost want to say sort of a nature conservation area.When concerts take place at the main grandstand they usually bring in a fair amount of vendors in: food trucks and alcohol.It's a amazingly chill crowd with lots of security and it is very well run by volunteers.I've since been back one more time to check out another concert and I have to say things continue to improve. They continue to bring in more mainstream artists I can see the popularity of this when you growing.Another neat fact is that the city of Lewiston has a wonderful main strip with a lot of cool restaurants bakeries and it's really quite picturesque.It's really worth checking out a concert I'm going there for a day, there are not many venues like that around.”

“It was a pleasure to visit the Buffalo Home show at the Buffalo Convention center. The ease of navigating through the center was great. The Convention center exterior looks great as well.”

“Honeymoon Suite concert on 9/30.Advise you to arrive early to get better parking (since no onsite lots are available).PITT system was great. Sound was a little muddled though. Not sure how it was in the back.Overall a good experience, BUT be forewarned, the Men's restroom is downstairs AND it has NO TOILET (only 3 urinals). Not sure how they pull that off?”

“I've been a an titanium Elite member for approximately 15 years. When I approach the desk I was not recognized as a elite member. The lady was super nice and very kind. However if you're not greeted based on your status Marriott has a policy where they'll give you $50.

I had requested extra soap lotion towels and feather pillows. Of this request none of them were in the room.

I did request a late check out and when I checked in she did state that have been approved. The facilities overall were nice and comfortable and what I've come to expect from Fairfield properties.

Side note: in the breakfast area in the mornings it was mad chaos. Food was everywhere people were acting like animals. So to avoid from being in the "mosh pit", I avoided breakfast both mornings. Bless your employees hearts that they have to put up with that chaos and cleanup. They need a raise or something more than regular pay.

Overall my stay was pleasant just what I needed and I appreciate it.”

“Great Bartenders, pizza/coat check girl outstandingUpstairs bar when Patons exceeded lowered level limit, bathrooms at both levels, spavious outside smoke areaSizeable Merch area”

“Dan, the outstanding manager, was polite professional and catered to my needs. Something you don't see regularly at neighboring business'. Our experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to go again. Great place, great food. Definitely going back.”

“We attended a wedding here and it was very good. It's an amazing space. The food was good, but the service was slow. For a 5pm wedding, the last tables were being served at 7:50pm. At that point some of the entrees had been sitting for a bit. Though at 24 tables, it was a very large service.”

“I was at Aloft Buffalo Downtown for Roswell's Cancerchella. The hotel was very accommodating, fun, and very comfortable. Their bowling alley was a lot of fun and the XYZBar had great drinks and was very comfortable to socialize in. It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights with the rooftop bar judging by the line of people waiting for the elevator up. The staff did well to work around some of the rude and pushy customers. I highly recommend staying at this hotel for a nice visit in downtown Buffalo!Rooms: The rooms are fun, trendy, and in my opinion a little nicer than your average affordable hotel. My room was on the 12th floor and had a beautiful view of Buffalo and Lake Erie. The bathrooms and showers were nice and spacious. There wasn't really much for a dresser but instead a place to put your luggage with a couple of small drawers underneath. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet at night. There was also a small table and some seating in the room.Safety: I felt pretty safe at this hotel. You need card key access to get to the hotel floors via elevator. However when I left my room this morning someone had attempted to tamper with the card reader to my door, and the cover was off of it and laying on the ground. My door was deadbolt though so I didn't have to worry about someone breaking in. A few other doors had this happen to on our floor, so i just notified front staff when I checked out. There was ample security in the lobby and the bars, and I felt completely safe during my stay!Walkability: This hotel is very walkable where it's located in downtown buffalo. There are plenty of things to do within walking distance, including the theatre district.Food & drinks: The food catered for our Cancerchella event was fantastic! The drinks at any of the bars were delicious and typical pricing.”
