As soon as we saw La Galleria we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff is extremely friendly and professional! The venue is strikingly beautiful, but not gaudy o...
r over-the-top. We recommend La Galleria to anyone in the Buffalo area. They were so easy to work with and were such a great help in making our day the most memorable and amazing.
La Galleria was the most picturesque and charming venue for our October wedding! Cherie was so helpful and flexible every step of the way, we really lucked out with this venue. Not...
only did she set aside a plate of appetizers for myself and my husband she also ensured that my Mom was able to enjoy the apps as well (which were delicious).
Everything from the ambiance to the outdoors ceremony to the beautiful fall foliage was as wonderful as we hoped it would be. You will not regret getting married here! Our guests all raves about the food too! Bonus points that the Bridal Suite was spacious, well lit and we were able to get amazing getting ready pics with the decor already in the room.
Choosing to have our wedding at La Galleria was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning!
Our favorite menu items were the “goat cheese stuffed strawberries”, “ch...
icken breast stuffed with brie and cranberries”, and the “sour cream and cheddar mashed potatoes”!
The creamy brie station was a great decision. We had so many of our guests raving about it throughout the night. I didn’t get a chance during cocktail hour to make it over there and I forgot we had even added it! I mentioned this to Cherie near the end of the night and found out later that she packed up a significant portion of that station for me to take home. I also was too busy/preoccupied during dinner to eat, and later found a meal had been packed up for me by the staff!
The Taco Bar was one of the reasons we were originally considering LG and it did NOT disappoint! We also opted for the candy and ice cream bars, which were both a big hit with our guests! But, if I can recommend any of the late-night bars, it would be the taco bar, for SURE :)
Cherie/La Galleria was so flexible and responsive throughout the three years it took to plan, unplan and replan our wedding! Being able to reach out via both phone and email made planning so convenient! Not all vendors offered this much flexibility in communication. When we first got engaged, I wanted so badly to hire a wedding planner, because the thought of planning a wedding was so horrible to me. But I am so glad we didn’t spend the money, because I forgot CONSTANTLY that Cherie was the Event Director and NOT a wedding planner. She. Did. Everything.
La Galleria offered various centerpiece options (including lanterns and table numbers), which we decided to use and LOVED how it turned out. The venue itself is so beautiful and has so much character that the lanterns and table numbers alone were perfect without overpowering the beauty of the venue. Cherie and the La Galleria team also took care of all the set-up and tear down, including place cards, etc. and packed everything away much more neatly than how we dropped it off!
Jill and Amy also went above and beyond. A little thing I didn’t even think about was that all the bridesmaids had to line up and rushed out of the bridal suite right before the ceremony. My dad was already downstairs, and I felt a little overwhelmed for about a split second and then Jill (who was our bartender later in the night), was up in the suite offering to help me down the stairs, holding my dress, etc. It might sound like such a small detail, but in the moment, I cannot tell you how much that meant to me and how much it helped calm my nerves!
Amy came out so many times to bring apps to the bridal party and myself during cocktail hour photos! It was wonderful to have a plate of all the apps at the head table during dinner, but I was still so grateful to be able to have some during the “obligatory photos” during cocktail hour! Without Amy, I wouldn’t have gotten to take advantage of the goat cheese strawberries! :)
Everything about La Galleria was amazing, but the best part was that from the start of planning until the end, every interaction with anyone at La Galleria felt like chatting with/hanging out with friends and family. Nothing felt transactional. And the care and effort that the entire staff put into our day was so evident and so above and beyond anything we could ever have expected.
Thank you, La Galleria Team, for everything <3

the kitchen staff did an amazing job accommodating special requests and dietary restrictions. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for an amazing event with all the little details handled for you.
Cherie and the entire staff at LaGalleria were awesome to work with. Cherie was always there to help and answer questions even when we booked over a year in advanced.
We loved th...
e rustic look of the venue and the outdoor space that was there for the ceremony and for guest to use during the reception. It was truly an “all inclusive” venue, which was great for me. They had options of center pieces, table numbers, card boxes and I’m sure more if you ask.
The day of was perfect. The staff, the food, the ceremony was better than expected.
La Galleria is phenomenal! Cherie and her team made sure the day flew by perfectly smooth! The venue space is also beautiful and they have many stunning backgrounds for photos! All...

La Galleria was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding with family and guests. The intimate, rustic setting made everyone feel comfortable and was exactly what we were hoping f...
or. The food was incredible and months later, we still get compliments. Delicious appetizers, perfectly cooked entrees, and generous after dinner pizza and wings- no one left hungry.
Cherie and the entire team were kind, attentive and wonderful to work with. Despite COVID forcing us to reschedule our wedding, Cherie was with us every step of the way, working to find a new date, and customize the menu and drink selections to meet our budget. On the day of the reception, we especially appreciated the servers who paid special attention to our older family members.
We can not recommend La Galleria highly enough!
We had a great experience having our wedding & reception at La Galleria. The layout of the venue was perfect…we got so many compliments from friends & family. Cherie was always on ...
top of things & very quick to respond to any questions we had during the planning process. We did most of our planning from out of state & with constant regulation changes thanks to COVID, she made sure we could still have the wedding we imagined.
Our wedding was originally scheduled for November 2020 and Cherie was amazing at helping us reschedule and our new date was August 2021. Cherie was extremely helpful during entire ...

Our wedding at La Galleria in September 2021 was a wonderful experience. We had both the ceremony and reception at La Galleria, and we loved having both the outdoor space for the c...
eremony, and the indoor space for the reception. Cherie, the owner and Event Director, was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We received positive feedback from our guests in terms of the food and how beautiful the venue was, and everyone had a great time. We are so grateful we chose La Galleria for our wedding, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in the WNY area.
I cannot say enough about La Galleria. Everything was amazing. Cherie was amazing and beyond helpful. Being a bride is beyond stressful and Cherie was right there with me along the...

The food was amazing, the venue was affordable and beautiful, the staff was helpful.
Long story short. 10/10 recommend. I would for sure use them for any large event
La Galleria is such a pretty venue, it doesn't really even need additional decorations. However, they have an inventory of decor that couples can choose from. If you do bring your ...
own decorations, they will set up and take down for you. The wedding coordinators are awesome and very experienced. The entire staff at La Galleria makes everything so easy and stress-free.
My husband is in the military so we were planning from 800 miles away. La Galleria was quick to communicate and always willing to answer questions. Their experience and professionalism are evident in ever aspect of their service.

Cherie was wonderful in helping us plan our wedding at La Galleria. She coordinated so well with our vendors throughout the planning process and was willing to do whatever she could to help us have our dream wedding!
Throughout the pandemic, Cherie was reassuring about the constantly changing wedding rules. She helped us come up with backup plans for every possible scenario. She wanted the best for us and for our wedding day!
We had the most amazing experience at La Galleria. The staff was professional, the food was delicious, and our family and friends loved the beautiful venue! I would highly recommend La Galleria for any event!
La Galleria was the first place we looked at, and when we walked in and saw how beautiful it was we knew this was our place. Cherie and her team were so helpful with every detail o...
f planning, including rescheduling our date. She was always very responsive to the numerous emails I sent her. Also, having the ceremony and reception in the same location was very helpful for our many out of town guests, and helped in making the day as stress-free as possible. The staff on the day of the wedding was attentive to everything we wanted, checking in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were fully enjoying the day. Many guests commented that the buffet was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We’re so thankful for their efforts - it was the best day!
The la galleria was great! We originally had our wedding set for 2020 but of course with covid we decided to reschedule. Cherie was amazing! She always got back to us quickly and w...
as more than accommodating. The venue was set up beautifully for the wedding! They also have a gorgeous bridal room that was great to get ready in. A wedding coordinator was included in our package and was a lifesaver on the big day! She was so kind and checked on the groom and I multiple times. She even held our drinks while we took photos. The food was also great and everyone had such a good time! I highly recommend the la galleria to any bride!
We booked La Galleria for our original wedding date before COVID. When COVID hit they kindly rescheduled our same wedding date for the following year. Cherie was wonderful and kept...
in close touch during the whole planning process! She was incredibly helpful lending ideas and guiding us through the whole process. The venue was beautiful and our guests had many complements about the food! Even though it rained on our wedding day we were still able to have the perfect ceremony with beautiful photos. Would highly recommend!

ted and said it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding!
Let me start by saying we are a Covid couple. Our wedding was originally planed for 4/4/2020. We all know that didn't happen. During the most frustrating and difficult time Cherie ...
was there for us. She would email just to check in and see how we where doing. We eventually had a small wedding at La Galleria on 8/17/20 and it was the perfect night. Every detail we wanted was executed perfectly and we got to enjoy our day. We could not have ask for a more supportive and helpful staff every step of the way. These people care for you as a couple, crying with you when you are the most frustrated that everything you planed for over a year fell apart to celebrating with you on the best day of your life, they will be there.
Our wedding at La Galleria was amazing! They had fanominal service, my guests can't say enough about it, servers were attentive with food and drinks, no guest was forgotten. The fo...
od was excellent and came out hot and perfectly timed! We were able to have our ceremony there as well with a gorgeous backdrop! The venue itself is beautiful and very clean, there is also a bridal suite for you to get ready in or just chill for a minute. We are so happy to have had our wedding at La galleria, they made our "covid wedding" not feel like it was all about the pandemic. My husband and I are so happy we didn't postpone, la galleria gave us our dream wedding even amongst the chaos going on in the world.
La Galleria created the best day for my husband and I to celebrate our marriage with our loved ones. My husband surprised me with a wedding reception after we had eloped. The staff...
at La Galleria was beyond helpful to him as he planned this big surprise, and they put care and love into every detail of the event. Cherie was amazing in helping him with the planning process, and she was present throughout the wedding for anything we may have needed. From the decorations to the food, I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful day. I look forward to using this venue for our future event needs, as I know everything will be handled and taken care of with the utmost dedication. Our wedding reception was the most special day of my life, and I know we have La Galleria to thank for that!!
The facility worked out ideal for us. We hosted a wedding celebration for around 45 guests. Our room was just the right size, not overwhelming. The settings in the two banquet r...
ooms is so beautiful and natural. They have beautiful brick walls and arched brick entrances, wood walls and greenery. Classy and comfortable. Our layout worked out very fine, our staff members that day were very professional and attentive. The event coordinator was very helpful, had great suggestions when needed and had a great feel for our needs. All around, it was simply ideal for our celebration.
Our wedding was in October. Aside from the cold rainy weather everything this venue did for us was absolutely amazing. They did everything within their power to make our day so spe...
cial. The guests all said that the food was the most amazing food they ever had at a wedding, and I must agree. The prim rib was the best. We wanted to have the ceremony outside, however, the weather interfered everything was brought inside. I was worried about this factor, that the switch over from ceremony to buffet would be very noticeable, but the very opposite occurred. The staff was swift and very professional at making this day so perfect. Thank you all at La Galleria.
Having our wedding reception here was one of the best decisions we made!
My husband and I visited several vendors around the Buffalo area when looking for where we wanted to have ...
our wedding reception, but once we visited La Galleria we both really felt like this was the place for us. And we're both so thrilled we booked with them!
First, the venue itself is unique and beautiful! It was large enough to fit all of our guests, but it still felt so intimate. Also, I can't say enough about Cherie and Gabriella. I am currently a graduate student, so I planned my wedding while in school. They offer so much help with organization and planning, and that truly took a great deal of stress and work off my plate. Working with them was fantastic. I never had to wait for a response, they were more than happy to help me if I had questions or needed clarification on something, and they really treat you like family. They are what I would call wedding professionals, as they are so knowledgable! And they really helped me think about details that would have never crossed my mind!
Additionally, the food was phenomenal. Some of our guests (including myself) have some dietary restrictions and they were able to accomodate those with no problem at all. We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food (and we did too!).
There's still so much I could say, but what I appreciated was that what was important to you and your family, they made important. We felt like we were around family, and that our day was as special to them as it was to us. If you're looking for somewhere to have your ceremony/reception, I'd definitely recommend making an appointment with them. I cannot say enough about how positive our experience was!
La Galleria was the PERFECT venue for us! They were professional, compassionate and personable and made sure that our wedding was perfect! We frequently worked with Cherie who was ...
always there to answer our questions and make suggestions when needed. The staff was friendly and professional, the venue looked amazing and the food was DELICIOUS. We had not one complaint about our wedding at La Galleria and they were accommodating for all of our needs. We were overly happy with our experience at La Galleria and heard nothing but good things from our guests. We highly recommend La Galleria!
Just had our wedding here about 2 weeks ago, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
The ladies know what they're doing, are super accommodating, answer emails and phone calls promptly and ...
are great at making sure your day is as magical as you want it to be!
We had the most perfect day, we honestly couldn't have asked for any better! They were great at making sure the day/night went in a timely manner and made the whole night so smooth!
My husband and I were so impressed with everything and would gladly recommend La Galleria to anyone for any event!
We loved it!!! Thank you so much!
We held our wedding at La Galleria on 7/22/17 and everything about our experience with them was amazing. Prior to our wedding the staff was exceptionally helpful, communicative, an...
d responsive. On the day of the event the staff at La Galleria made everything run seamlessly. We are still receiving compliments about how amazing our venue, the staff, and the food was at our wedding.If you are getting married in the Western New York area look no further!
We had our wedding here on New Years Eve 2016 and I've wished every day since that we could repeat it all over again it was so perfect! From the moment we first contacted La Galler...
ia we knew they had something that no other place we had looked at had: real people who were just as excited for our wedding as we were. They answered every single email as close to immediately as you can get (considering most of our emails were late at night while trying to plan). We changed our colors and center piece ideas probably 100 times and each time they told us we were more than welcome to bring some ideas over and see what everything would look like on the tables/in our room. We had a hard time finding/deciding on some vendors so they gave us lists and contacts for all of them to help us get through our decision making.
The day before our wedding they went immediately to work to get tables set up so we could see them and take pictures and make sure it was all how we dreamed it to be and let me tell you, it was magical. They listened to every single detail we mentioned and always with a smile. It's been almost 2 months since we got married and we still have people going on and on about how gorgeous the hall/room was, how friendly all of the staff were and, the biggest one, how absolutely amazing the food was. We had brie stuffed chicken and apple brandy pork (he got one and I got the other so we could share) and we couldn't stop eating and we were stuffed by the end of the meal.
I could spend all day saying amazing things about La Galleria but I'll leave it with this... Even if you already have a place in mind or already fell in love with another place, just take a few hours and check out La Galleria before you commit anywhere else. They're friendly, fast, accommodating for everyone and make it their mission to make your day (and even the months before!) as absolutely stress free and perfect as it could possibly be.
A huge, huge thank you to La Galleria for helping to give us a night we will never forget!
Cheri and Gabriella are amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the atm9osphere of the venue, the grounds, and of course the awesome food. I loved having our wedding there...
and would recommend to anyone!
La Galleria was the perfect place to have our wedding ceremony and reception! The hall we had our reception in was beautiful with brick arches and a long wooden dance floor leading...
from the bar out to the backyard. The backyard contained the gazebo we used for our ceremony and the perfect amount of seating for our guests. There was also a tent to cover the seating for guests in case of rain or excess sun (no rain for us!). A sizable area of woodland was within easy walking distance of the gazebo too, giving us the opportunity to take some scenic pictures; it was nice to have it all done right there and not have to get in a limo to drive from place to place. Lastly, there was a getting ready room that fit me, my bridesmaids, mother, and photographer comfortably. La Galleria made it really special by serving us champagne, cookies, and other treats to help calm our nerves before the big moment!
When it came down to getting everyone coordinated (aka the bridal party and vendors), our banquet coordinator did a great job of getting everyone's attention and very professionally handling any concerns from our vendors. I worked with a couple of the banquet coordinators during the year leading up to the wedding and they were both very kind, helpful, and timely when handling our arrangements (entree choices, payments, seating, etc.). On the evening of the wedding, they continued to execute by helping us get ready and making sure we were satisfied during our dinner.
I would highly recommend their Premium Sit Down package which came with an open bar and of course a sit down dinner for our guests. All of our guests absolutely loved the food and the bartender and wait staff did a great job keeping the venue tidy throughout the night. Most of our guests caught me before the end of the night and took the moment to say this was a wonderful venue and complimented me on my decision to have my wedding there. I completely agree and believe without a doubt that La Galleria will continue to provide excellent, professional, and reasonably priced wedding packages for years to come.
I had gym wedding in October and have been planning with la galleria for a little over a year! They know what they're doing, they stay calm and they are very lenient in letting you...
do and or bring in what you want (pictures, decorations, sweets, deserts, etc). Their food was amazing, tons of compliments on the food by my guests! I had my ceremony outside and the gazebo outside la galleria is just beautiful! My wedding came out so perfect and a big thanks to La Galleria! I deff recommend this venue, they have good prices as well:)
That's one word that describes my wedding, PERFECT!
The team at La Galleria did an absolutely amazing job to make the whole event go off without a hitch.
Julie and Cherie w...
orked so hard to make sure my ceremony & reception went smoothly. If there were any hiccups, they were not visible to me. I couldn't have asked for anything different. The staff they had working that night were polite and helpful and were always visible if you needed anything.
The food was absolutely amazing! I had so many guests come up to me and tell me how impressed they were with the food.
The room itself is just beautiful! La Galleria really seems to care about making their venue some place a person would like to have their wedding. They're constantly updating things, new chairs, table linens, etc.
If you live in the Buffalo area, I absolutely recommend La Galleria, you will NOT be disapointed!!
Had a wonderful experience with the staff at La Galleria. They were supportive and helpful from when we first put a deposit down on the site up until our wedding day. We had lots...
of kinks to work out for the day (50mph winds and rain) but Sherry was extremely helpful. The location is beautiful, it's arches inside and the wonderful outside gazebos make for great photos and weddings. Loved our experience with La Galleria and would suggest it to anyone.
