The Avanti came highly recommended, and certainly did not disappoint. Angie and her team of professionals provided numerous food, vendor, and venue options, and above all, flexibility as our event went through some late changes. The team was extremely consultative, professional and supportive right through our wedding day. The food and grounds were spectacular and we are still getting compliments two months post the wedding. We would highly recommend the Avanti - they made the process ridiculously easy! - Dave & Caroline Re

I've had the pleasure of attending several events at this venue and you will not find a better more beautiful experience than Avanti Mansion. The chef creates delicious food unlike any other in Buffalo, NY. The staff is friendly and strives to make every event a memory that will last a lifetime. During these difficult times (pandemic) it has assuredly been extremely painful for newly engaged couples waiting to start the rest of their lives. Don't let that rush of emotions fill you with negativity. If you love one another - there should be no rush - take the opportunity to patiently wait for your amazing day, even if it's offered next year. Avanti Mansion will make the day special and create memories that will last your lifetime together. Be Happy!

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 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.

Staff is timely and responsive, informative, and their packages include so much. I do not feel stressed in wedding planning and trust that they will make my special day smooth and spectacular.

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 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!

The whole event was absolutely perfect. Every detail was thought of and we were treated like royalty

We cannot say enough good things about the Avanti Mansion. From our very first email the entire staff was incredibly responsive and willing to help and answer any and all questions we had. We immediately felt cared for by the venue, and we knew we had to book. Once we were officially paired with Angie as our wedding coordinator, who is just the sweetest person. She was incredibly supportive and helpful from the first day to the last. Her knowledge and recommendations helped make everything go smoothly and easily throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. We loved working with her! Wedding planning is often a stressful experience that people dread, but that was truly not our experience with the Avanti Team. It felt like everything was taken care of for us, and we knew we were in good hands. They gave excellent recommendations for DJ and flowers, and had great insights into how to best navigate the entire planning process. They really are pros! On our weddi... Read moreng day, it was like we had an entire support team at our fingertips. Everything was taken care of and anything we needed was immediately provided. The day was executed absolutely perfectly - it was truly everything we could have wanted. We can't thank the entire team enough - we had the perfect wedding!

Avanti has amazing staff that sitting down with you and goes over all the wedding options. They provide a detailed brochure with all the plans and venues to fit all budgets. The venue is gorgeous and has in-house catering and decorating.

The Avanti Mansion was a dream come true venue. It was drop dead gorgeous and they truly went above and beyond to make the day special. The day of the wedding went so smooth. Constantly we were approached by staff asking if we needed anything and we’re bringing us food during cocktail hour because this venue understands how crazy it is for the bride and groom to see all their guests. They helped make the process so much easier.

We booked our daughters October 2020 wedding two years in advance. As mother of the bride, I was present at each meeting with Colleen Hullings from the Avanti Mansion except for one because I was too sick following my chemotherapy treatment. When the pandemic hit, we had already put $3000 down and they wanted $6000 more. We agreed on an extension to see what the state guidelines would allow going forward. When it didn't seem to be getting better, we asked to downsize to 50 guests for safety. They agreed but said they would book another wedding at the same time even though our contract included exclusive rights to the venue for our date. We reviewed all of the options offered, and determined that none of them were safe and asked for a partial refund of 50%. They in turn, convinced my daughter that she had to sign a cancellation document forfeiting all of her rights and our deposits. When I contacted them by email, I said I thought they took advantage of my daughter's inex... Read moreperience in these matters. I called it shameful and mentioned that we may seek legal council if appropriate. The Avanti management became extremely uncooperative and refused to speak to us, unless through their lawyer. The lawyer was nasty and unprofessional and refused to speak to me because my daughter was the "client", even though they had no problem cashing MY checks for the deposits or speaking to me previously. Now they are claiming in their replies to our reviews that I was vile in my communications...simply not true. So they are dishonest as well. My daughter was married at our wedding planner's shop with about 10 people present...all of our other vendors have been great. The Avanti only cares about their pocketbook. Do yourself and our community a favor and go to a venue with a heart that cares about it's customers...not this one!

We were expecting a reception of our dreams that turned into a nightmare. We were scheduled to get married on May 30th but due to covid, and after weeks of trying to get a straight answer from someone at Avanti, we were finally able to reschedule until August 22nd. June came around, not a single email updating us on their situation, and we were in the exact same situation as the May date. At this point we have had months of trying to schedule and reschedule vendors, updating guests on a situation we don't have any control over or any useful information, and we had a very small wedding, maybe 15 people at the church, already on our original date. Planning a wedding/reception is stressful enough but planning more than one has been very stressful on myself and my wife. Avanti tells us we can only have a reception with 50 people when they knew we were planning on around 200, and who knows what other restrictions would prevent the reception we had planned. They give us awful options to res... Read morechedule but we are just done with the whole situation and the lack of information coming from Avanti. Avanti is unable to provide us the reception we agreed upon but refuses to refund any money of our deposits. Would absolutely not recommend them to anyone.

We were supposed to get married here in May of 2020. Due to the pandemic and this venue being closed they ended up forcing us to reschedule. We ended up rescheduling to August (not because we wanted to, because we were told we would not get any refund if we just cancelled and we had $9 000 invested by this point. A few weeks before the August wedding we still did not have any info on how many people we could invite, what the procedures were, or if they could even perform the wedding.... At that time and throughout the process, communication on their end was very poor and at one point they even refused to speak with me (the bride), my husband or family by phone. We could not go through with this with so much uncertainty so close to the event. They still now to this day have $9,000 of ours and did not preform any event. You guys made this so hard and stressful for my husband and I during these unprecedented times and continue to do so by not returning our money. In my opinion, I woul...
