Avanti Mansion

we were never disappointed from the very first time until the very end. All of the staff that we worked with were nothing but AMAZING. We are still hearing from our wedding guests about how amazing EVERYTHING was and how absolutely beautiful the entire venue was. From the food, drinks, service, and the beauty of the entire space!! Kelly helped us through the planning process and was always SO helpful and gave her insight into helping us plan our special day. At any time we had questions she was always readily available and responded to us so quickly! Colleen was our event manager the day of, and she was absolutely AMAZING too! The day of, we had nothing to worry about and we knew we were in great hands. People ask us how everything went, and if anything the day of our wedding went wrong, and we have never been able to think of anything to say! And we have nobody but the staff at Avanti to thank for that!!! It was truly the most beautiful and spectacular day of our lives. And we recommend Avanti Mansion and their staff to everyone we know that is planning a wedding! Thank you Avanti for making our wedding truly the BEST day of our lives! ❤️

nue spaces, each one more beautiful than the next! We got married at the garden venue and it was stunning!!! From the very first meeting with Avanti, the planning process was seamless and easy. You are paired up with a wedding planner/coordinator. This was a LIFE SAVER and such an awesome benefit of choosing Avanti Mansion. The wedding planner helps out so much. They answer all your questions, meet with you throughout the wedding planning, recommend vendors, and so much more! We had Raquel and our wedding would not have been what it was without her! She was fantastic. We used her as our day of coordinator too!!!! Raquel answered all our questions (and we had A LOT), she put my mind at ease so many times and made the planning process so easy. The day of the wedding went so smooth, with no issues, all due to Raquel. It gave my husband and I the ability to sit back and truly enjoy and take in our wedding! When you book with Avanti, you are in THE BEST hands with their staff. Each package has a lot of beautiful decor included, which makes the wedding planning so much easier. It’s truly an all in one package!!! The food is AMAZING!!!!! Our guests are STILL talking about how delicious all the food was. They also have an in house bakery chef who did our wedding cake and dessert table and it was all delicious as well! Again, our guest are still talking about the food and desserts. The bartenders were quick and the drinks were super yummy!! All the displays (food, dessert table, drinks, table decor, ect) is set up beautifully with such attention to detail. Seriously stunning! The entire staff is so organized, professional, and sweet. You literally feel like you’ve been friends with the staff forever, that’s how comfortable they make you feel! Our wedding was truly so fun and all our guest had a great time too and it is 100% because of the amazing service we had at Avanti! I cannot recommend Avanti enough!! If you are thinking about booking with Avanti, do it. You will not regret it!! And if you’re lucky enough to get Raquel, thank your lucky stars because she is THE BEST and will make your wedding so magical and carefree!

or could not have been more calm and patient with me through the whole process. She put my thoughts and interpretations of romantic story book theme into real life. The cooking was by far the best wedding food we've ever had, our guests were blown away. Special shoutout to the stuffed mushrooms and vegetable lasagna. Worth every penny!

food was and how beautiful the venue was. I always received a timely and friendly response when emailing the venue and my coordinator (Kelly). Day of, Kelly was very attentive, bringing us food, drinks and taking care of all of the behind-the-scenes details that made the day so wonderful. I would highly recommend Avanti to anyone! Edited to add: The Live Grill was a huge hit along with the Donut station and Late Night Buffalo Buffet! Toy Bro's was the DJ (preferred vendor) and kept the dance floor packed all night and did a fantastic job MCing the wedding!

you never feel lost. The service, the food, and all the "little" things Avanti does really makes the day special, and the assistance you get makes it so you can truly enjoy it. Beyond that, the space is gorgeous, has all the amenities you could ask for, and we heard multiple times from various guests that this venue truly was "perfect." We agreed! If you are on the fence, choose Avanti, you will not be disappointed.

lping a girl like me, who had never even been a bridesmaid before, organize a reception. The food was fantastic, something very important to my Italian family. The ambiance was romantic and elegant, exactly the vibe I was hoping for, with plenty of seating for my older guests. Their team was accommodating and friendly. I never felt uncomfortable or awkward with them. I would definitely recommend this venue for anyone hoping for a romantic wedding to start off their loving marriage!

eautiful and the food/drinks are great! Highly recommend having your wedding here! ❤️

of the best meals they've ever had, the team made sure everything was seamless. Raquel was a godsend and offered us so much help, advice, direction and coordination throughout the entire wedding process. we could not recommend this venue enough!!

ridal suite and exclusive use was so worth it. Absolutely recommend!!

d the food was to us. Our day of coordinator, Jessica Z., was so helpful, and we really appreciated having her there for our special day. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Book it!

ized character of the coordinators. There are a few packages offered and they are very inclusive - meaning you don't have to outsource much unless you want real flowers (they do offer centerpieces!), a photo booth, etc. They also provide a list of preferred vendors with whom they work often and that's where we found our photographer who knew where to capture all the right pictures. The coordinators leading up to the wedding met every question and request with thoughtful, thorough response and delivered a beautiful set up the day of. We had cocktail hour in the library and then transitioned into the ballroom for the reception - the transition was absolutely seamless for our 230 person wedding. During cocktail hour we had hors d'oeuvres and then the dual plated entree sit down for dinner - two months later I still have people reaching out to talk about how it's the best wedding food they've ever had and I cannot agree more, everything was absolutely sensational! My husband owns a restaurant for which he is also the chef and he was blown away. Finally, the service staff. I cannot rave enough about the exceptional customer service provided by Arrika and the rest of the staff. Accommodating, attentive, PLEASANT - there are not enough words to describe how well our guests and ourselves were treated up until the moment we left. They went above and beyond to ensure the best experience for us and they delivered. I highly recommend this venue to everybody!

el dismissed. Any time that I needed to get in touch with someone at Avanti, I received a response almost immediately which was super impressive. Being an out of town bride I was nervous about logistics, but everything went seamlessly because Avanti runs a tight ship and pays attention to every small detail! The food tasting was over the top in the best way possible. Such a fun event, and it was nice to be able to talk with other brides and share ideas. The food was top notch. My guests raved about the cocktail hour spread. The fire pits and patio off the ballroom were a perfect hangout space for non-dancers. We were able to bring lawn games too. Our photographer took a picture from the top of the stairs of everyone at our wedding, which I loved! The to-go coffee station was smart, and even included little donuts. I was able to drop off all the decor for my wedding several days before, and they helped set up way more than I expected! From start to finish, nothing but amazing.

ite hostess Cassandra was amazing all night long making sure we always had what we needed. We got married in the library courtyard and reception in the library. The spaces were amazing and perfect for our 88 person wedding. The food and drinks were amazing, and guests were raving about them. I would definitely recommend Avanti. The Avanti planning team has many meetings with the couples and answers any questions very quickly!

ese Garden venue is nothing short of epic and perfectly set the mood for our fantasy themed wedding! Kelly was amazing to work with and generously allowed us a second tour to see their garden and tent in-person since we initially booked in the winter. Avanti is so much more than just a venue; they are an award-winning caterer and also provide full bar service, a cookie/milk bar, and have options for additional food stations. Depending the day/season of one's wedding they also offer additional perks! Our wedding was June, 23, 2023, and as it was a Friday wedding we received a free evening food station as well as a sizeable credit towards stationary purchased through their partner vendor. We also took advantage of their Wed & Breakfast deal where us and some of our wedding party spent the night in the beautiful historic mansion. It was wonderful not needing to drive after a night of partying and being able to be with everyone again first thing in the morning! One piece of advice I would like to offer to anyone booking with Avanti is that if you plan on getting dressed on-site and having a first-look/group photos captured before the ceremony, schedule to arrive at least 3 hours before your ceremony time. We only had 2 hours and cut it very close due to dress malfunctions. Anything can happen and it's best to give yourself as much time as possible. Avanti Mansion is a true gem of Western NY and I hope more couples are able to celebrate the wedding of their dreams there!

as far as I know, our day went smoothly. The only thing that didn't go as planned was the weather. We were planning to be in the garden but it rained and we had to move inside the tent. We were very sad about this but they did a great job of making it look beautiful for our ceremony and brought in a white flower wall. Our day of Coordinator was great too and made everything go as planned. We also stayed in their mansion with some of our wedding party and it was so beautiful and nice to not have to deive anywhere. It truly was the best day of our lives.

e day of. They take care of everything !! (: They offer the food, the venue, the decor, the planning, the execution, tear down and set up! The whole package deal!! If you haven’t already book here because I’ve been telling everyone HOW AMAZING MY WEDDING DAY WAS BECAUSE OF THEIR TEAM! (:

ut how amazing the food was. Couldn’t recommend the avanti mansion enough!

nue , to the food , and how the staff were accommodating us and our guests ! Our wedding planner Raquel helped us out through tout the entire thing and was always just a phone call away if we had any questions . She was great and made gave us exactly what we envisioned our day to be ! If I could give her / Avanti Mansion more than 10 stars I would lol . Thanks again Raquel you're the best!!!!

enue itself is beautiful and was perfect, and the food was amazing! After our day, we got soo many people commenting on how great the food was!

was so romantic! Our wedding planner was absolutely amazing, and the staff was incredible. If I could, I would get married over and over again here. This venue (including the bridal suite!!) is breathtaking!

lanning process and was so helpful with any questions we had. She also did an amazing job as our day of coordinator to keep things stress free for us! All of our guests keep telling us how great the food was and that they had a blast. If you’re in the planning process I would recommend setting up a tour at Avanti!

eally helped to make our day so seamless with several special touches and great attention to detail. The space is beautiful and very unique for lots of different photos around the property. We were in the Amore ballroom and between the ballroom, outdoor patio, and ceremony area, I can't wait to see all of our different pictures from our photographer! Our guests told us they had an amazing time and that the food was fantastic- something you don't often hear at weddings. My only wish was that we could've stayed there longer to continue celebrating. We love you, Avanti!

s perfect!! We chose Avanti because of their packages that include food, bar, centerpieces, decor, ceremony venue, and more! We had very little prep that we had to do on our part which eased the entire process and made our wedding even more special because we were able to enjoy every moment, from the initial appointment to the food tasting and the wedding itself! Kelly, Sabrina, and Ashley were amazing to work with leading up to and during the wedding. Becca was the best suite host and Triniti was so fun at the bar!! Thank you to everyone involved to make our day so special!

best wedding they've ever been to. The food was incredible and the venue was beautiful. Cannot recommend highly enough!

ssfree, no fuss day. And Raquel and Avanti delivered. She listened to what we wanted, presented all options available but didn't push us to upgrade things we didn't want. The day of the wedding, the staff were so accommodating, taking care of everything we needed and paying extra special attention to me and my husband, and our immediate family. And the food was incredible!! Probably the best wedding food I've ever had. Thank you Raquel and Avanti! You really helped make our wedding perfect!

und making sure everyone was good! Absolutely turned out beautiful and made our dream wedding come true.

f food, their hour devours were so tasty and adorable, good menu options. I also loved how inclusive it is, they take care of dishes/cutlery, have centerpieces you can use, chairs/table easel for seating chart, etc all there so you don't have to worry about those things. All the staff was friendly and professional, they did a great job of making sure we got to eat our own food bringing us food/drink during cocktail hour, etc. However, they don't allow you to the venue until 2 hrs before, this was very stressful. they have a beautiful bridal suite that you can't even use for anything more than a quick photo prop because there is not time to actually get ready I'm it. We had to show up with hair makeup done, just got dressed there, used the champagne and bridal suite for a few photos and then we did first look. It was a scramble to take a few photos before the ceremony (we didn't want to waste all of cocktail hour on photos) and get final touches like arbor flowers, signs, etc all set and then guests start showing up 30 mi before (so really you only have 1.5 not 2 hrs). Other than the 2 hrs before being tight stressful, the rest of the planning and venue was beautiful and we would recommend, it is a beautiful venue with good value for the price and they do a great job overall.

olleen is truly a wedding expert and was so patient with us while we were nailing down all of our details. Rachel was an absolute rockstar on the day of and really made sure everything went smoothly during our reception. The venue is gorgeous and has a variety of photo opportunities both inside and out of the property making it perfect no matter what time of year your wedding is. I’m so incredibly thankful to have had our wedding here; our guests are still raving about it! Weddings are always expensive but the Avanti experience is worth every penny!

d family to be prepared for something unplanned to happen during the wedding, and the unexpected really did happen for us. One of our elderly guests had a medical emergency during our reception (they are okay now!). We had no idea what to do, and Colleen was so professional in helping us continue the evening once they were cared for. She worked with our vendors to extend our night at no extra cost to us, which was something Avanti was not obligated to do. 10/10 recommended this venue and team to work with!!

ery first tour, all the way through to our wedding day. Our event coordinator was always available for us and was there to answer whatever questions we had. She truly helped us execute our vision and even had recommendations for us to make our experience even better! When we arrived to the venue on the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. Our event manager for the evening had everything where we needed it to be, so there was absolutely no stress for us. The only thing we needed to concern ourselves with was to have the time of our lives with friends and family. Which was easy to do because we had a suite manager who literally catered to my husband and I! That was something I truly was not expecting. She always made sure we had a drink in hand, brought us our own tray of hors d’oeuvres to enjoy away from the crowd, and was even there to help bustle my gown when my maid of honor was struggling to do it herself! We did not have to ask for a single thing. She was on top of our needs the entire evening. I can truly say that any couple who has their wedding with Avanti will not be disappointed! They go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect! Not to mention the extra perks you get when you have your wedding in the off season! For the rest of my life, when any new bride-to-be asks me where they should have their wedding, I will be screaming “Avanti Mansion” from the rooftops. Thank you Avanti for making our wedding day beyond perfect!

essional. Everything went smoothly without any hiccups. Many guests complimented the food saying it was the best they have ever had at a wedding. Colleen was super helpful during the planning process. She was quick to answer any questions, suggested ideas and supported our own ideas that were a bit outside of a traditional wedding. The banquet manager the day of the event was also incredible. Ensuring that my bride and I were well taken care of as well as the rest of the bridal party. 10 starts out of 5 would gladly recommend Avanti to any couple looking for a beautiful venue, with amazing staff and a well coordinated event.

mall detail in the photos but one that my parents greatly appreciated, haha. Another awesome detail was the plants that were flowering on the terraces - they looked so beautiful! As a couple doing wedding planning for the first time, sort of on our own, it would not have been possible with Avanti's list of recommended vendors and their combined food/venue/reception service.

nd attention to detail was 5 star. I highly recommend them.

ke my dream wedding a reality. She was very communicative always responded to email within 3 days and super accommodating. We wanted a venue that took care of the details. Avanti does that and more. They have different tiers with many options to choice from. We were still able to add extras like Hayburner IPA on tap, an iced coffee station, and extend our coffee hour. Everyone said how delicious the food was were still receiving compliments from our wedding guests. We stayed on property in the mansion after the wedding with some of our bridal party which was super convenient and a lot of fun. The rooms were perfect. The mansion also has beautiful spaces for the bridal party and groomsmen to take getting ready photos. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for our photos. The day of the wedding the event team is awesome. Everything was organized and handled so I didn’t have to worry. The event manager coordinated everything with my vendors. The tent has beautiful lighting and there is plenty of space. I choice to do my own centerpieces and ceremony decorations which the staff had set up for my reception. It was truly beautiful. I can’t thank them enough for making my special day so magical. I highly recommend Avanti Mansion for all your event needs.

e had staff following our wedding party around as we took pictures, continuously bringing refreshments, despite us being out of the way at the accompanying mansion. They made every effort to accommodate our special day, and in turn made it even more special in the process. I could not recommend the establishment enough.

ing. The food was fantastic, and our guests had an amazing time.

we had to worry about on our day! Throughout the entire day as well as the rehearsal the team made sure we were taken care of as well as our bridal party. Guests consistently told us how beautiful everything was and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! A huge Thanks to Colleen our Wedding Planner for all of her hardwork and Leo for the most amazing food. We wish we could re-live our day all over again!

y positive from the day we signed our contract. You do have a planner that you work with, but their whole planning team really does work as a team. We were working with one planner who left Avanti about 6 - 7 months before our wedding, and the transition was seamless. We didn't have any issues with the change in planner and didn't need to go over any details again. Kelly was fantastic and got us over the finish line leading to the big day! And Erica on the day of was also fantastic! She took care of us all day and we loved her. The Japanese Garden and the Garden reception venue were stunning. The way the guest seats in the Japanese Garden for the ceremony are built into steps on a hill is unlike anything we had seen before. The reception was beautiful. The bar is beautiful and the dance floor is set up perfectly allowing for a good flow at the reception. The flower chandelier above the dance floor is amazing and I loved that detail. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about the venue - both ceremony and reception - being wonderful and the staff being extremely professional and pleasant. The food was so good! We highly recommend the Live Grill option, it was all delicious! The only thing that I wish was done differently was our dessert service at our sweetheart table. We didn't think to ask for this, so maybe this is on us, but we would have loved to have a dessert plate put together for us from our dessert table. We didn't ask and by the time we realized we hadn't checked out our array of desserts, it was mostly gone. But if that is the only thing we would have changed, it speaks to how great of a venue and team Avanti has. Overall, you cannot go wrong by choosing Avanti for your wedding or other event.

responsive at every step of the process. Day-of the service was great and everything went smoothly, not only that but we had several guests tell us Avanti was the best food they’ve EVER had a wedding which was so amazing to hear! I would highly recommend Avanti to any engaged couples looking to plan their perfect day.

ase. The wedding planner we originally had was fantastic but we had to postpone our planning due to COVID. When we went back to planning in 2022 the staff had changed and our wedding planner was no longer with Avanti. Our new wedding planner was Raquel. Raquel was a decent wedding planner but didn't really go above and beyond like the original wedding planner did. What was nice was that she was very clear on everything that was included for free but not very specific on what costs extra. I admit the tacked on prices were listed in our proposal but we're never vocalized and I feel like that was kind of shady of Avanti and our wedding planner. The vegetarian option was under the "special meal" extra cost even though it was offered and they charged us also for double chicken. I think charging $330 because a few more people don't want the pork is ridiculous. Plus they were gonna charge us $200 to put curtains up because they put our sweetheart table in front of a window that has a view of the parking lot! The tacked on prices that we were not verbally told about was not professional or fair. Other than that our day was perfect Arrika our event manager and Lauren our sweet hostess were absolutely God sent and made everything run smoothly and exactly how we wanted. Food was phenomenal everyone raved about it. And even afterwards they whole cleanup team did everything for us all the tables and decorations they took care of and packed up for us which was so helpful. So on Arrika and Laurens part couldn't have asked for better. All in all it was a perfect day and Avanti was the right choice despite the rules and regulations they have.

ven to the point where they noticed we didn’t have much time to eat our dinner so they packed us up two separate dinners and put them in the mansion where we were staying to have later on that night. They also gave us champagne, bagels, fruit etc for the morning after. During the wedding they quite literally waited on us hand and foot and always made sure we had a drink and anything else we needed. They even went as far as to get a golf cart and drove my mother in law all around the grounds since she has MS and has difficulty walking, but she didn’t miss a thing because of them. They are as close to a one stop shop as you can get for your wedding and for any other brides who don’t have family in town to help with the wedding planning like myself I really can’t recommend them enough, they were life savers. I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful wedding or perfect day and it was all thanks to Avanti’s incredible team!

would be and more!

Avanti mansion and their staff.

rb from start to finish! The food is fantastic! Our guests are still raving about it a month later!!
