We recently had our wedding at Salvatore’s and it was everything we could have dreamed of. We worked with Janet and she was wonderful from the moment we first met her last year. Our wedding was planned in its entirety during the pandemic and Ja...
net was there for us every step of the way. From different restrictions and what we could do, she was so accommodating. She was also so supportive with how we were feeling. Thankfully, we were able to have a full wedding reception with passed appetizers and a dance floor. We loved our appetizers that we chose (cheese tray selection, beef on weck crostini, and loaded baked potato bites). And the food was absolutely amazing! We chose the Chicken Française which was paired with sliced tenderloin of filet. So many people at the wedding told us they loved the food and one groomsman reported he wanted to “lick the plate clean”. Our captain, Jennifer, who took care of us all night, was wonderful! I felt like before I could even ask for something she automatically knew what I wanted. The champagne toast was so cool and everyone loved that as well. Honestly, everything went off without a hitch and I had the best wedding I could have imagined. I am sure that a lot of that had to do with Salvatore’s and if you are considering them, I would highly recommend that you go with them. They were great!

I can’t even begin to express how incredible Salvatore’s is. They truly went well above and beyond anything I could have hoped for our wedding. Everyone that we worked with was so accommodating, anticipated our needs in advance, incredibly frie...
ndly, and overall exemplified amazing customer service. In particular, Janet and James were such a joy to work with, made sure that every detail was perfect, and ensured our wedding was so enjoyable and stress free. Just one example of how great Salvatore’s is (although I could talk of so many instances)- the strap on my dress broke and completely unprompted, a server brought me a little sewing kit to help fix my dress. I didn’t tell anyone that my strap was broken and they went out of their way to help me. Salvatore’s made our wedding a great experience. On top of the unparalleled service, the venue is so beautiful and well decorated. The food was amazing as well! I am so glad that we had our wedding at Salvatore’s. I have heard many wonderful comments from our guests about our wedding. I could go on about how great Salvatore’s is but they have an excellent reputation for a reason- they truly are the best! I highly recommend them to everyone I know and will definitely use Salvatore’s for any events we have in the future.

We definitely recommend spending the night or weekend at the Delavan Hotel. It was so convenient for ourselves, as well as our guests to have rooms right there! My bridesmaids also got ready in the morning with me in our Harriet Suite. Additionally, we used the gorgeous outdoor ceremony space for our first look prior to our ceremony. And the Bella ballroom was a beautiful room for our reception. Our guests raved about the food, and particularly loved the champagne parade prior to dinner. Thank you, again, to everyone that helped make our day so special. And we cannot wait to be able to spend future anniversaries with Salvatore’s! Photos by Megan Ann Photography

She completely took the reigns and helped me move forward with everything making it as easy as possible. I will forever be grateful for her.

One of mine and my husband's favorite memories will always be the way the banquet staff kicked off our wedding reception with the champagne parade (our we even put photos of them in our wedding album) Mrs. Salvatore created a beautiful little bouquet for our flower girl that she can keep forever. I cant thank them enough for everything. I recieved so many compliments on how great the food was. Thank You again to all of the planning staff at Salvatores, forever in my heart ❤ we plan on spending our 1 year anniversary at Salvatores as well.

so sat down with the florist at Salvatores who designed our flowers just the way we wanted them. On the day of our wedding, everything went as planned. They set up our ballroom as instructed and even went the extra mile to set up some further fall decorations. The bar was well staffed for quick service for our guests. During our reception, they performed a champagne toast which was a special touch. Dinner was served promptly and the food was delicious. The whole experience with Salvatore's was wonderful and we would recommended them to anyone looking to have a wedding or event.

d, and we could choose to stay there and work with the new company, or come with her to Salvatore's. Honestly, we loved Janet so much and felt so comfortable with her taking care of everything, we moved the wedding to Salvatore's. They took us in with open arms, made sure we had everything that we were getting at Glen Oak, and more. It was on shorter notice but they were still able to accommodate us and provide all of the same menu items, even if they were not on the Salvatore's menu. We got a complimentary suite for the night, and free shuttle transportation to the airport the next morning for the honeymoon. We got to use the house centerpieces, free of charge, and bring in some other items to jazz them up. We were able to bring in homemade cookies and sweets. The bartenders and servers were awesome - very attentive and polite.

was billed for things that my mother had already paid for and had to keep correcting the spelling of my name on everything (it was almost right on the wedding day.) We booked the hotel rooms at the Delavan for my parents and in laws far in advance but when they got there-neither of them had rooms! My mother booked a room with two beds but they only had a room with one bed left. Kind of messed up her plans. Also, on the day of, I was surprised to not hear from an event coordinator at all. When you book your wedding with them they say you have your own personal wedding planner but I didn't find that to be the case. I had my ceremony at the Garden Place Hotel and the janitor that was working was the one that helped answer my questions and get things organized. Overall, leading up to the wedding there was a lot of confusion and frustration. The reception was held at the Delavan. It was wonderful. The food was AMAZING, wait staff were so fast, beautiful place for a reception. I was very happy with how that part went.

My husband and I are so, so happy that we decided to have our wedding reception at Salvatore's. Since we were planning our wedding from out of town, we looked at many different venues around the Buffalo area and Salvatore's was the best choice...
we could have made! Surprisingly it was actually one of the more affordable options for us. The venue itself is beautiful, but even more important to us were the people we worked with throughout the whole planning process. We worked with Janet who was super helpful from the start. She was flexible in meeting with us whenever we were in town and was always easy to reach by phone or email. She was very responsive to our requests for special accommodations/meals for certain guests, and took a lot of our stress away. We also decided to work with Paula and Orlando for our flowers and decorations, which worked out perfectly! They were comparably priced compared to other florists we had looked at, and actually offered way more than we expected. I had a general idea about color scheme, flowers and centerpieces, and Paula made it happen - she even ordered lanterns for us to use! Paula's and Orlando's suggestions were invaluable and really made the whole day and night look beautiful. They even came to the church before the ceremony to make sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes and set up decorations/pin boutonnieres on the guys. We had a wonderful time at the reception, the food was delicious and served quickly, and the wait staff was friendly, flexible and responsive throughout the whole night. Most of our guests also stayed at the attached Delavan hotel the night before and the night of the wedding, which was convenient, affordable and beautiful. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that we would not have changed anything about our wedding, and we would 100% work with Salvatore's again! They were personal, professional, and really made us feel like family.

I would highly recommend her to anyone that is getting married there. The venue was beautiful and was perfect for all of our photography wishes. Last but not least, the food was OUTSTANDING. Salvatore’s is one of the only places in the Buffalo area that you can get that much quality food for an affordable price. We would do it all over again!!!

When my wife and I got engaged, the first thing we wanted to book for the wedding was the reception venue. We went to about a dozen different venues across the Buffalo area in search of the place we thought would be the most accommodating for ...
our guests. The most important thing was that our guests had a great time, and never felt wanting anything. To us, this meant a fair package price, accommodations for our out of town guests, great ambiance in the ballroom, craft beer selection at the bar, wine with dinner, excellent food, and a nice large spot to dance (visible to every table). Salvatore’s knocks it out of the park in every single box we wanted checked. One of the first things that can take a potential venue off your list is the price. Salvatore’s was almost (if not the most) affordable venue that we looked at during our entire search. They have one hotel right on property, as well as another hotel they own that they provide constant shuttles to and from. Their Amore ballroom was absolutely stunning. We were speechless when we saw it set up the day before our wedding. Salvatore’s allowed us to purchase any craft beer we wanted to provide to our guests; we ended up getting a west coast IPA and a summer ale to go along with the two domestic beers included in our package. It was honestly surprising how many people would come up to us and tell us how outstanding the food was that night. I personally think that the food is probably the thing that people will remember most about the venue, and I couldn’t believe how many people absolutely raved about how good everything tasted. We had four passed hors d'oeuvres as well as a cheese and fruit station during the cocktail hour before the 5-course dinner started. The bottomless wine with dinner is perfect for the guests who forget to refill their drink before the bar closes while everyone eats. The steak was amazingly tender and delicious, and the chicken was excellent as well. Nobody will leave hungry after that meal. Even the vegans were impressed with how everything on their menu tasted. For dessert, we had cheesecake, wedding cake, and the Salvatore’s dessert station (where the cheese and fruit display was during cocktail hour). Lastly, the dance floor was placed perfectly in front of the head table, with the guest tables surrounding it in a U-shape so everyone had a great view of the guests that were dancing. Working with Krystle was an absolute pleasure. She was always quick to answer any questions we had about the reception, and we had nothing to worry about the week and days leading up to the wedding—she made sure everything was taken care of. She was upfront and honest about what everything would cost us (including our craft beer) and made sure we were in full understanding about how the night at Salvatore’s would flow. My wife and I truly could not be happier on our selection of Salvatore’s for our wedding. If we had to do it over again, we’d book there again without even hesitating. Every single aspect of the night was perfect, and it couldn’t have been done any better than what Salvatore’s did.

n't have a worry in the world when my big day rolled around because of Josette and the Salvatore's team. My husband and I chose to get married at Salvatore's for many reasons, the price being a huge factor. I was pleasantly surprised to see how affordable our wedding at Salvatore's could be when I compared venues. Another big reason we chose Salvatore's is that they allowed us to get married and have our reception immediately following the ceremony without having to transport our guests to another location. We had a lot of out of town guests and knew that the Garden Place Hotel and The Delavan Hotel would accommodate our numbers perfectly. Additionally, the hotel shuttle from the Garden Place to the restaurant was perfect and saved us hundreds of dollars, since we didn't have to book our guests' transportation to and from the hotel. Our florist, Paula Salvatore, had great ideas and was very reasonably priced. My flowers, especially my bouquet and centerpieces, were breathtaking. Throughout the planning stages, the Salvatore's team was right there to field questions and make our ideas a reality. I loved having a "one stop shop" for our wedding.

Salvatores Italian Gardens was FANTASTIC! They made having a wedding a little less stressful as they took care of so many tiny details that weight on a brides mind.

o my needs, as well as my bridesmaids. I was so proud to be able to treat my wedding party to the outstanding service that Salvatores tailored just for us. The decor was so beautiful, it was all like a fairy tale! It set the stage for a night I'll never forget. The food was prepared meticulously, and the wait staff, as well as the bartenders were so attentive and accommodating. I am so proud and honored to say that i had my reception at Salvatore's, it was a night of hospitality that i was able to share with our family and friends! I am so gracious and humbled by the attentiveness and impeccable level of service shown to me by everyone involved in the planning and production of my wedding reception. I'd recommend Salvatore's to anyone for all occasions!

ephen Weigold’s) Wedding Reception which we hosted on Saturday, September 24th, 2016. You and your wonderful staff attended to our every need, and everything was exceptionally superb. From the moment we scheduled our daughter’s Wedding Reception with Josette we realized that this was going to be a Wedding Reception that would be extraordinary in every way. Josette’s supportive kindness, guidance and professionalism was very much appreciated as some of Deborah’s many conversations with her took place while she was in the hospital most of last year. Both Josette and Krystle have been extremely helpful with all the planning and answering our many questions right up to the evening before the reception. First Krystle called us and then Josette called us personally, and told us she moved us from “The Venetian Ballroom” to “The Amore Ballroom” out of concern for our son’s disability with having to be wheeled around in his wheelchair. Deborah is also disabled as well as some other guests, and this change in ballrooms was greatly appreciated. Josette handled the moving of our table layout and other details that we will probably never realize, and everything was perfect as if it had been planned that way from the start. This meant so much to us. Mr. Salvatore we also extend our sincere thanks to Jennifer, your lead wait-person from your banquet team, for her excellence in serving and managing our Wedding Reception. Jennifer introduced herself to us at the beginning of the cocktail hour and told us “to not hesitate to let her or any member of her staff know if we needed anything.” We were extremely pleased with the special attention, overall excellence, professional courtesy, and speed of serving our guests. The special presentation of “The Baked Alaska” was awesome! All of our guests have been extremely complimentary about their absolutely delicious meals and excellent service that you and your staff provided. When the reception was over Jennifer and her staff helped us gather and pack our table decorations which was very much appreciated. Please also extend our thanks to Jeanine Panzica for all her assistance in reserving our personal rooms at your beautiful new hotel, “The Delevan”. She was extremely helpful, kind and professional, answering questions and offering to be of service. Jeanine also reserved a block of rooms for our guests. It is our understanding that some members of the wedding party stayed at both “The Rose Garden” and “The Delevan”. Our accommodations, as well as the bride and grooms were excellent in every way. With our sincere thanks; and please extend our thanks to your professional and exquisite staff. Warm Regards, Joseph & Deborah McGahan

Everyone at Salvatore's is helpful. They truly want your event to be the best day ever. We received so many compliments from family and friends. They said the food was absolutely delicious and they couldn't get enough of the bartenders. I had multiple guests tell me that the bartenders remembered their drink order for the night which made the line at the bar move quick and everyone happy. When I walked into the venue for the first time with everything decorated, my jaw dropped. It was better than I could have imagined. The staff at Salvatore's decorated the room so nicely and it was truly breathtaking. My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding or better wedding coordinators. Salvatore's went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and one that we will always remember.

while those dancing could feel the beat. The banquet manager I worked with that night was very attentive. Krystle, who I worked with prior to the reception, was extremely helpful. She promptly responded to e-mails and phone calls. She answered all the many questions I asked. I was able to see the room the morning of the reception to be sure that all was set up correctly. Several concerns that I raised were promptly addressed. The room looked great when the guests arrived. I would advise paying the extra money for the full length tablecloths. They make the room look more elegant and formal. So glad I decided to add them the day before the reception. I would recommend Salvatore's Banquet Facilities to anyone!
