I cannot say enough about our Wedding at Avanti Mansion on 3.7.25. Jessica was exceptional. She really went above and beyond to make our day so incredibly special.
The food was out of this world. Everyone has been raving about the dual plate, and all the hand passed hors d'oeuvres. The food kept coming out too. They did not skip a beat and no one left hungry!
The decor of my dreams was brought to life. I walked into my evergreen castle filled with pinecones and plenty of greenery. It was beautiful and cozy. I cannot say enough good things about Avanti Mansion. I would recommend them again and again.

My husband and I got married at Avanti Mansion on 8/24/24. From the second we walked in for our tour in 2022, we knew that this was the place we wanted to have our special day. And 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! ❤️

My husband and I got married at Avanti mansion (Sept 2024) and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Avanti and their amazing staff!!!!
The venue itself has three different venue 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!

Avanti Mansion and the planning team were amazing! We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom/garden section of the property and I could not be happier. Raquel our coordinator 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!

We had our wedding in the Garden Venue this past July. The venue, staff, food and atmosphere were exceptional. We had a perfect day and still have guests talking about how good the 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!

The Avanti Mansion was an IDEAL place for a wedding reception. No only was the staff super helpful and friendly, but they walk through the entire process with you along the way so 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.

My now-husband Mike and I had our reception at the Avanti Mansion on July 6th, 2024. We had such a beautiful day and there is nothing I regret. The Avanti Mansion was amazing at helping 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!

We had the best possible experience getting married at Avanti this spring; every venue available is so uniquely gorgeous (exclusive use is worth it), our guests said dinner was one 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!!

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!

From the moment we stepped foot into The Avanti Mansion my husband and I were enamored. The venue itself is beautiful and we were immediately taken by the professionalism and organized 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!

Avanti was beyond amazing. Raquel answered all my questions, tried to accommodate all my crazy ideas, but also gave me honest feedback about what would be best without making me feel 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.

Avanti Mansion was amazing for our wedding day! We got married 10/6/23 and it was probably the least stressful day possible for us. Our coordinator Raquel was wonderful, and our suite 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!

Avanti Mansion provided the two most important things we sought in a wedding venue; an iconic location for both a ceremony and reception, and delicious food! Avanti Mansion's Japanese 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!

Avanti made our wedding day so special! From the very beginning, Raquel, our event planner was so great with answering all my questions quickly via email. The food was amazing, and 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.

We got married at Avanti Mansion a few weeks ago and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Raquel, one of the wedding planners on staff, was incredible to work with and really 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!

My husband and I got married on July 21, 2023 at Avanti Mansion in the ballroom. It was everything we imagined and more! From the food, to the patio, and the service, everything was 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!

Avanti Mansion was the first venue we looked at when planning our wedding. After meeting with Raquel, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We wanted a very simple, stressfree, 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!

Our wedding at Avanti mansion was beautiful and we are so happy with how our day was and will treasure this day!
Their food is amazing for wedding venues, we got many compliments of 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.

The Avanti Mansion is THE PLACE to have your wedding! It is hard to put into words what a wonderful day we had. The venue, food, and staff were incredible from start to finish. Colleen 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!

Colleen and the Avanti team were great to work with! The food was amazing, the library and ballroom were stunning, and the staff at Avanti is so kind. I was told by many friends and 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!!

My husband and I just got married this past weekend, and it was a day we will never forget. Avanti was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment we arrived for our very 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!

Avanti helped give me the best day of my life! We had our ceremony in the Japanese garden and had our reception in the tent. All the staff were very courteous, polite, fun and professional. 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.

Avanti Mansion in the fall is gorgeous! We got married in the Japanese garden and had the reception in the tent. Kudos to them for painting the buildings nearby white!!! It was a small 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.

My husband and I both knew we wanted to get married outside and absolutely loved the garden venue at Avanti Mansion. It’s absolutely stunning! Colleen was our planner who helped make 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.

Me and my wife had our wedding and reception at the Avanti Mansion, and it was truly amazing. The locale is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was truly top notch. We 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.

Absolutely stunning venue! Our wedding coordinator Rachel was quick to respond, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning period prior to our wedding and during our wedding. The food was fantastic, and our guests had an amazing time.

So thankful for the entire Avanti Team! All of our questions and any concerns we had were always answered quickly. They helped set up and take things down so it was one less thing 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!

We couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding! Some people told us of restrictions or some pain points, but we did not experience any of that. Our experience was completely 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.

We had a great experience using Avanti Mansion as the venue for both our wedding ceremony and reception. The planning and pricing was so simplified, and our planner Colleen was so 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.

First of all Avanti was absolutely stunning. We loved it from the first time we saw it in 2020. We had our tour in the library and instantly fell in love with the sweetheart staircase. 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.

We had our wedding at the Avanti mansion despite hearing some bad reviews, and I am so glad we decided to go with them anyway. The service they provided us was beyond phenomenal, even 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!

My husband and I live in California, but were getting married in Buffalo where he is from, so it was really important that we found a venue with good communication. Working with the Avanti Planning Team was an exceptional experience because they are in frequent contact, remind you of upcoming dates, respond promplty, and answer any/all questions. They really work to make your day exactly what you want to be. The day of the reception we got to use the bridal suite upstairs to freshen up which was perfect before the cocktail hour. Everyone there was super helpful and got drinks for the wedding party as soon as we arrived. The Amore Ballroom was so beautiful from the napkins (choose from a variety of colors), uplighting, candle centerpieces (rented from Avanti), and table arrangements. We also opted to add the outdoor patio & bar which was a huge hit! We got tons of compliments on how nice it was to have some outdoor space. Addtionally, we got lots of compliments on how good the food and table wine was (we opted for the tuscan chicken and steak dual plate , salad, bread, and potatoes + cabernet/chardonnay for table wine)! Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience. Super organized, very beautiful, and delicious food. Thanks so much for making our day unforgettable!

We were originally supposed to be married here in June of 2021 but because of the uncertainty of the pandemic we made the decision to postpone until July 2021. We had the absolute best day and could not have asked for a better venue. Communication throughout the entire process was amazing! We did lose a $1,000 deposit because we had to postpone but that was not anyones fault and we completely understood given the circumstances. We started with Angie helping us and when she was no longer available Kelly was so quick to get on board and knew every part of our wedding and was absolutely amazing to work with. We had planned for our wedding to be outside in the Japanese garden but when a sunny day turned gray 40 minutes before the wedding she was SO quick to switch everything over and make sure everything was equally as beautiful. My now husband and I are so thankful for choosing this amazing venue and could not have asked for anything better. Food was absolutely amazing and guests were talking about it for weeks afterwards!! 10/10 would recommend this venue to anyone!

Avanti and their team were amazing!! Everyone we met was so nice and accommodating to everything we wanted for the wedding. The setting is great because you can really incorporate any theme you want, we went with a fairy/whimsical theme, but we could totally see the venue fitting with so many other themes, as well. For such a beautiful setting, it’s also surprisingly affordable. The basic plan includes catering and many other cool features. The wed and breakfast was also a very romantic space that was so worth it. I highly recommend booking your wedding with Avanti!!

I am so impressed with the Avanti Mansion. Our consultant was Colleen and she was so patient with all my emails and phone calls, she responded in a very timely manner and kept me up to date with everything needed for my reception. They were open to meeting with me whenever I needed and I felt very supported along the way with planning and receiving advice on what couples typically do. I was so impressed with them the week of my wedding and the day of they really treated my new husband and I well and kept us supported and accommodated through the night. Colleen and Julie and the rest of the staff should receive 100 stars if I could give them that.

Finally, we were able to get married last Dec 2021, as we postponed the celebration last Sept 2020. But still got married. We had our civil wedding too with Avanti Mansion, but just ceremony, to our original venue, which is the Japanese Garden.
Colleen is our planner. Very helpful and accommodating. Answered all our questions, during the pandemic, and the change of plans. On our wedding day last 2021, we avail a day of coordinator, since we don't want to be stressed on that day, and might need some help. Colleen, however is not available on that day. But Kelly is. And she's so helpful too. Especially during the weeks to our wedding day. We couldn't ask for more. She executed it properly, for all the things we asked. We got married in library venue and had our reception at the ballroom. It was so amazing. We had a wonderful time, and the place is newly renovated, looks so great and it sync to our motif. Food, desserts, drink were great. Our guests had a great night too. Communication was never a problem with them. To Colleen, Kelly and the staff of Avanti Mansion, thanks so much for making our wedding celebration an amazing night for all of us.

My husband and I got married here this past August of 2021 outside in the Japanese Garden. Avanti could not have made it easier or more special, especially Colleen who was our wedding planner. Both Colleen and the entire staff were great and super helpful all the way up to, and including, the day of our wedding. If we could do it all over again I would still pick Avanti!

In February of 2019, we met Angie at Avanti Mansion. She completely sold us and we immediately put down our deposit for our 2020 wedding. Well, COVID had other plans and our 2020 wedding could not happen the way we envisioned it would so we postponed it to later in 2020 but still things were not better so we decided it would be best to move it to July 2021. We were not pleased with the rules they had in place when postponing, but we kept a positive mindset as our main goal was to get married! Angie was VERY supportive and tried her very best to make sure our wedding was the wedding of our dreams. She organized our rehearsal and gave us plan A: outside ceremony (which we wanted) and plan B: inside ceremony. This was because there was rain in the forecast. The wedding day finally arrived and it was raining but Angie made the best of it and found piping and put a drape to accommodate our flower arrangements. Angie was there the day of the wedding even though she did not have to be and that made a world of difference and showed how much she cared. The wedding was beautiful and the food was delicious, our guests couldn't stop talking about the food. No wedding is perfect, but it's what you make of it! Thank you to Angie for making our wedding so Amazing!

My Bride and I selected this location for our August 2021 wedding. Our wedding was very small with no dinner on site (About 40 total people including the wedding party). We had few requests for that day that we had coordinated with Angie. We practiced the procession the day before the wedding. On the wedding day, Angie was not going to be there.
1. The officiator from the Avanti came to me 5 min before the ceremony saying that she wasn't sure if we had a viable marriage certificate and that she'd continue with the ceremony and work out the legality later. We'll, I had the marriage license for 60 days, but they only asked about it 5 min before the wedding telling both me and my bride that the license may not be valid because it's out of state.
2. We had asked at rehearsal if the music would be loud enough, but it wasn't. We couldn't really hear the music as we walked down the garden aisle.
3. The young woman placed in charge that day had no clue what we had planned for the day. She asked questions and got things wrong, or just didn't pay attention.
4. They didn't even set up a microphone under the tent for announcements and the sand ceremony which occurred under the tent after the ceremony.
5. An email to Angie after the ceremony providing this identical feedback had not been answered.
The Avanti Mansion is a beautiful location, but they need staff that know what is happening.

10/10 would recommend!!!!!! Angie was Amazing throughout the entire process from October 2019 until the day of. She made the entire process seem so smooth and my questions were always answered within a day at most. We had a lot of guests who have not been to a wedding at Avanti in a bit, and they could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! I especially want to say shout of Avanti for accommodating our guests with dietary needs. One of my guests who is gluten free said it was not only the best meal she had at a wedding, but this was the first time staff came up to the table to see who was gluten free and made sure she received the correct meal. She mentioned a lot of the times venues forget about the special meals. Overall everything really went so perfect on such a perfect day. I will continue to recommend Avanti to everyone looking for a venue. They have it down to a science!
I lastly want to do a huge extra special thank you to the suite coordinator Haylee. WOW she was amazing!!!! She was part of the fun, but made sure every request was filled. I had a lot of the bridal party as well as guests come up to me and say how awesome Haylee was to work with. She dealt with a lot of misc requests and last minute items, but handled it
with a smile on her face. She always asked what else she could do, and that created a LOT of peace of mind.
There is not one thing I could say that could have gone better. It was absolutely perfect.

Getting married during a pandemic was not easy. Working with Angie WAS easy. She continued to accommodate our ever changing needs while COVID requirements were changing. The communication was outstanding as we had constant questions. She truly wanted to make sure we ended up with the most beautiful day, and we did just that.

We had our micro wedding postponed and I had no issues rescheduling and working things out with Avanti Mansion. Staff were very professional from planning to on-the-day execution. We love all the details - it was simple and organized, beautifully set-up, just the way we are dreaming it to be. On top of that, we love how they are all welcoming and nice!

We had our civil wedding with Avanti Mansion last September, and we're just happy we chose them as our venue. We were supposed to have our wedding with family and friends, but because of pandemic, we have to postponed it to next year. We constantly email Colleen, our wedding coordinator, with regards to our wedding and pandemic, of what our options will be. She's very helpful and detailed when answering all our questions. We decided to get married in Japanese Garden with just ceremony, and our photos just looks awesome in it. We are looking forward to our traditional wedding next year with them again.

We had our micro-wedding in the library 10/3 and it was amazing! Everything was beautiful and so intimate with 50 of our closest friends/family and I wouldn’t change anything about it. Our coordinator Colleen managed to make wedding planning during a pandemic so much easier and stress-free! I was even 30 minutes late to my own wedding after a transportation hiccup but the staff made our ceremony seamless as if I wasn’t even late... the day ended up being perfect!
