Avanti Mansion

I am the mother of bride and I am so pleased to write a review that our daughter's wedding a beautiful and exquisite affair. It met all of our expectations and beyond. Every person at Avanti was wonderful to work with, the food was outstanding, the service was excellent and most of all the staff was courteous and helpful to every person that attended the wedding. We have no regrets about the entire evening. The attention to every detail was outstanding. I would highly recommend Avanti for any bride that wishes to have a true fairytale wedding.

This is the BEST place for a wedding!!! Everyone we worked with was so helpful, kind and caring. They really made us feel so special. We couldn't have wished for anything more. The place is so beautiful! My photographer said it best, "This place was built for weddings!." The service throughout the wedding was unbelieveable. They truly thought of every detail!! The food was AMAZING! All of our friends and family are still talking about what a fantastic wedding it was. Words cannot even express how grateful we are to the Avanti Mansion for making all of our wedding dreams come true!!!!!!

I cannot express how happy I was with Avanti Mansion! My wedding was absolutely beautuful, Cheryl and Kelly are awesome planners, and ALL of my guests raved about the food. I had the best wedding I could have dreamed of, and it was all because of Avanti. Do yourself a favor- don't even consider any other venues. This one is IT.

We had an amazing wedding at The Avanti Mansion on 9/30/11! Food, service, everthing was fantastic!

The Avanti Mansion was amazing! All of our guests were so impressed with the food and service!

The staff at Avanti Mansion helped us throw a beautiful reception-style party for our parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was a stunning party! The food was delicious and far from the typical banquet facility fare. It was elegant and the service impeccable. We could'nt be happier.

We had our Ceremony and Reception at the Avanti Mansion. We couldn't be happier. The location, food and staff were amazing. The office staff of Kelly and Angie were outstanding. They were always there when we had questions. The staff was always right there when you needed something and never hesitated to get it. Our guests told us that the food was plentiful and beyond their expectations! Thank You Avanti for giving us a wonderful wedding. A couple friends of ours have already booked their wedding for next year with you! Thats how impressed they were.

Avanti Mansion stands above their competitors, hands down. I have been in the wedding industry for over 10 years and they are top notch! They are not your typical "cookie cutter" wedding. They are far more than that. Your wedding is customized, but you do not pay customized prices. Our guests are still calling us and our parents saying that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. That was the biggest compliment we have ever had! Their food was top notch and everyone raved about it! Everything was served hot and in under 15 minutes! Make the right decision and book your wedding with Avanti Mansion today!!!!

The Avanti Mansion did an amazing job with my Wedding. The food, music (DJ Kenny), EVERYTHING was just perfect! Cheryl, my DOC, was wonderful and made sure everything went smoothly; from the Champagne Greeting to the S'Mores, it was the most perfect day of my life. I would highly recommend the Avanti Mansion to fellow Brides. Thank You!! Greg and Jessica

We were married August 13, 2011 at The Avanti Amore. We can not thank Cheryl who was our wedding planner & the whole staff for a perfect day! We were married outside in the garden-which was set up beautifully. The service was the best anywhere-very attentive! The food was amazing everyone was so pleased. We are extremely happy & honored to have been able to host our wedding at The Avanti Mansion with the most impeccable staff--specially Cheryl! We would recommend Avanti to any & everyone! Tim & Kristin Howard

I only have wonderful things to say about the Avanti Mansion. Everyone at the mansion went above and beyond to make my wedding day a truly special day. It was more than I could ever dream of! The staff was very professional, patient and accommodating. The whole day went according to plan, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. The food was delicious and we received numerous compliments about how great it was. The fine attention to detail really showed. The mansion provided a bridal attendant (Barb) who was there to help with anything my husband and I needed. She was wonderful!!! It was great to know we didn't have to worry about anything the entire day. I would reccommend this venue to everyone getting married. It is a beautiful facility and the decor (both inside and outside) is breathtaking! It is evident that the staff at the Avanti Mansion has a passion for what they do. They truly made our day perfect!

My husband and I were just married there June 2011, and it was absolutly beautiful!!! The planning was smooth, the staff was wonderful and I really trusted them with everything from start to finish! The wedding was a blast!!! Food was amazing!! Laurie was outstanding!!! I have no complaints!!! I did not experience any of the things other people have stated. Most of all my now mother in law is very hard to please and she was just that VERY PLEASED!!!

Our wedding was at the Avanti Mansion and we are so thankful we decided on their venue. Their staff made our day adsolutely wonderful. Every detail was perfect and our guests have all said its one of the best weddings they have ever been to. We recommond Avanti to everyone we can, they made it over the top. Our wedding will be a day that we will never forget!

Our wedding at the Avanti Mansion was perfect! I had worked in the wedding/banquet industry for about a decade before starting to plan our wedding and I’ve become pretty fussy. We looked at many facilities in the area and we came to the Avanti and booked their new facility based on blueprints and the building turned out beautiful! Laurie was the only person who I felt comfortable with handling our wedding reception in comparison to the other places we looked at. Laurie and her staff were so nice and so accommodating—they even let customize our menu to allow us to add in our own personal touches. On our wedding day, we decided to do our professional photos right on the Avanti’s grounds and they turned out gorgeous. The staff followed all of my setup instructions (which was quite lengthy) to a “T” and were very attentive to us the entire evening, anything we asked for, we got. It was so nice. We also love that our guests are still talking about how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been too—the food was incredible, the facilities were beautiful and having our guests raving was our goal, but Avanti made it effortless. Our only regret is that we didn’t eat more!

Avanti Mansion is the perfect place for a fairytale wedding!! The food was amazing! Everything was right there for you, Ceremony, Reception, and Photography was all right there!! And they did our cake too!! which was AMAZING!!! The girls there were so attentive, caring and would really do anything to make your dream day come true! Anything my husband and i needed they were there finding a way to do it.. even if it might not look possible. We couldntve found a better place and been so grateful for All their hospitality! i could not suggest a better place than the Avanti Mansion!!!

We held our wedding and reception in the Amore Ballroom/garden last month. Overall, we were very satisfied with the end result. The garden was gorgeous and the ballroom was set up perfectly...exactly as we had wanted everything. During the planning process, everyone at Avanti was extremely patient with us, as we changed our minds a lot. They were very helpful and gave us good advice during the entire planning process. We mainly worked with Cheryl and Angie. Both were pretty quick with getting back to us when we e-mailed or called the Mansion. As our wedding date approached, they e-mailed us check lists to remind us of things we needed to take care of. On the actual wedding day, we could not have asked for things to go any better. The bridal suite was convenient and a great place for the bridesmaids to take pictures before the ceremony. The entire day ran so smoothly. It was perfect. If anything did go wrong, it was taken care of before we even knew it. We used Avanti's officiant (Pastor Dave) and DJ Kenny. Both were awesome to work with. We have received TONS of compliments on our reception music. Our guests also raved about the hors d'oeuvres. --Elizabeth Petryk

We just got married on August 20, 2011 at the Avanti Mansion in the new building. we choose to have cocktail hour in the library and our reception in the Amore Ballroom, two absolutely beautiful rooms! We had booked this venue before its completion, so I was a nervous wreck waiting to see the finished product and was MORE than happy with the outcome. while this was extra, it was 100% worth it. I had read a few negative reviews of the Avanti Mansion (which made me a little nervous) however we had NONE of those issues...it was a dream come true from start to finish! The bridal suite was huge and the decor both inside and out was breathtaking. The staircases alone sold me! An absolutely grand entrance (and beautiful pictures)! The food was incredible and service was wonderful! We received many compliments from our guests on the venue and the food! Everyone at a table got served at once (so no one had to wait which was great)! We had an on site bridal consultant (Barb) throughout the whole wedding that helped out with everything from when we arrived to packing up and leaving. From bringing us appetizers in the bridal suite to drinks throughout the night (because we were so busy) she was wonderful. The staff was fabulous to work with especially cheryl, who we worked with us to plan the entire day! My only regret is that it went by soo fast! Anyone in search of a venue for their wedding, I would highly recommend looking into the Avanti Mansion!

Communication is key!! If you are a good communicator your time planning your wedding will be smooth and a memory to truly remember!

With everything said and done the wedding day could not have been better. People rave about the reception and the food still months later (live grill with steak and chicken). We had about 225 guests and Laurie was able to book an extra tent (that was perfect fit and looked like it belonged) without hesitation so we could fit our live band/dance area/coctail area that we wanted. Wedding photos can be done all on site and will be perfect. Reception was best party we have had in a long long time (thank you Mo Porter Band). Bartenders were hard working and always smiling. Highly suggest booking the extra bar in mansion(well worth minimal fee). Ceremony was perfect. Every inch of the huge property was immaculate the day of. People walked around whole time to view. Realisticly- weddings cost money so do not expect venue to be a "bargain". Without personalizing anything, it would still result in a perfect day for any couple. Adding personalizing touches will cost money, but avanti staff will do it for you. You will have to go through avanti for most add-ons outside of flowers/small decorations. There may be some restrictions on some ideas, but understand that they host weddings ever day of the weekend. These limitations may frustrate you temporarily. Yet, these frustrations will be over once you arrive your wedding day, everything is perfect and you wouldnt change a thing. You know the wedding saying that there is always something that goes wrong on you wedding day, but no one will ever know except you? Well, it is not true. Not a thing went wrong the whole night. The staff has a true passion for weddings and we came out believing that is was NOT just about a money making business. It was about producing a beautiful wedding. Thank you Laurie and rest of staff !

We got married at the Avanti Mansion on July 30th, 2011. We had our ceremony outside behind the Amore Ballroom, our cocktail hour took place in the library, and our reception was in the Amore Ballroom. I cannot even begin to describe how amazing and perfect our day was! The Avanti Mansion staff was outstanding! Absolutely nothing went wrong. From the moment the girls arrived at 4:00pm we were treated like royalty. The bridal suite host, Barb, was incredible!! She took care of me all night long and was as sweet as could be. The ceremony was outstanding. All of our guests raved about the appetizers served during cocktail hour. We had the deluxe sit-down dinner option and it was incredible. The food was delicious the servers were professional, quick, and extremely friendly. The ballroom looked perfect! The staff set it up exactly like I asked them to. I really cannot put into words how amazing and perfect our wedding was. I would highly recommend the Avanti Mansion to everyone I know -- especially the Amore ballroom. We worked exclusively with Cheryl and she is absolutely amazing! She is friendly, professional, and will go out of her way to make all your dreams come true. We had two planning meetings with her, they were each one hour long. We had a planning meeting about six months out and then again about two months out. Cheryl was excellent at answering phone calls and emails throughout the wedding planning. We paid to have Cheryl with us all night long and it was money that was very well spent! She worked hard all night to make sure everything went perfectly! I highly recommend Cheryl!!!! The Avanti Mansion is certainly not the cheapest place in Buffalo to get married, but they are up front about all the pricing and if you want a gorgeous and perfect wedding then I think it is money well spent! Our guests were seriously impressed and so were we. I honestly couldn't have pictured our wedding day going any better. THANK YOU AVANTI MANSION STAFF, ESPECIALLY CHERYL & BARB! -Jonathan & Amanda Hoffman-
