“This place is absolutely Amazing. We took the two hall one for the men’s one for the women’s. And it’s absolutely the best decision to go to the villa. stuff were really good and helpful. Everything was as they say, I will give it 10 star. The owner was one of the greatest people the you can meet “ friendly, helpful, understanding, caring. he cares about the wedding to be great more than anybody else. thank you The Villa Banquet Center.”
“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 have done quite a few balloon setups at this venue. They are always easy to work with, the staff there is so professional and polite. They have a beautiful facility.”
“As a wedding vendor in the industry over 14 years, I have to say that The Avanti Mansion is truly my gold star venue!! From their incredible staff to their culinary creations, in addition to the beautiful space inside and out, it's a 10/10. I am beyond excited when I learn that one of my couples has chosen this location. ❤️”

341 Delaware Ave, Buffalo“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.”
“From the very beginning the customer experience was exceptional. From introduction to being shown around to making decisions to just the overall experience was hands down the best we have ever seen. We'd like to thank jermey and his team personally for going above and beyond no questions asked. Thank you to the marygold for making our dream wedding come true”

44 Prime St, Buffalo“Had a fabulous time Ice skating @ Canalside. Rentals were $5 per person. Admission is $8. Lockers $1.Pros: beautiful landscape.Friendly people willing to give out free lessons.Cons: they were out of many sizes of skates due to the demand of people coming in. Skates were hit or miss. Some were good condition, some were completely mangled.Long waits for rentals (so bring your own!!)Parking is sparse unless you are okay with paying ($5-$20).Overall, I would come again. Probably not on the weekend since parking is tricky & the crowding on the ice makes it hard to find your rhythm.”

“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.”
“My son and daughter-in-law recently celebrated their wedding at CCC, and it was an extraordinary experience. The venue has been meticulously restored and updated, boasting a breathtaking interior. The food was simply divine, and the wait and bar staff provided exceptional service throughout the event. From the perfectly cooked filet mignon, chicken, and salmon to the delightful salad, vegetables, potatoes, and hors d'oeuvres (including coconut shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, and bruschetta), every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch.The team at CCC, comprising Kevin, Alison, and Kim, was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail was attended to. The spacious dance floor added to the fun, and the dining room's exquisite chandeliers created a truly elegant atmosphere.Along with the beautiful rooms, one of the highlights was the outside veranda and patio, which allowed all guests to unwind and enjoy the event in a comfortable setting of their choice. CCC has truly mastered the art of combining timelessness and elegance in a wedding venue, making it one of the best-kept secrets in WNY.”

5020 Main St, Amherst“The price is good with a Hayat membership, the rooms are spacious, the bed is comfortable, and it is 30 minutes away from the waterfalls by car. Free parking and electric car charging are available, but! Breakfast is the worst I have ever had! Canned cheese and jam, paper plates, and artificial eggs that are not fresh. Breakfast is important! Hotels need to know this. Room cleaning was not good. Hair in the bathroom and bedding were not arranged well. There is no room service in the hotel ?”

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!”
“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.”

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.”
