June 2024 Wedding

Our experience with the Hotel Lafayette. was truly amazing; every detail was meticulously handled to perfection. From the moment we contacted them, the team was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that our vision was brought to life seamlessly.

After originally planning the location and wedding the hotel was going through a change in management companies. I was quite concerned about keeping the date and rooms with a new management company. The manager Nicole however, was incredible! She managed the sale seamlessly and stayed in constant contact with me to let me know how things were progressing and that there were no issues. She helped me book several specific rooms and accommodated several special requests; she and her staff were very professional and kind, and we highly recommend this hotel.

All of our guests that stayed at the wedding commented on how great the hotel and the rooms were. There is a lot of character in this hotel, and it is a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location near downtown Buffalo, and walking distance to many great attractions and locations. When booking at a boutique hotel you sometimes are concerned about the amenities and room sizes. This is not an issue at the Lafayette, the rooms (including standard rooms for guests) were all great sizes, and were very well maintained and cleaned. The bridal suite is especially great, big enough for hair and makeup to be done, and includes a balcony overlooking Lafayette square, which is a great touch. The Marquis room where we held the ceremony and reception was great! It has amazing architecture and we had to do very little in terms of decorations. Some good lighting and centerpieces are more than enough to make this room come to life and be gorgeous. We had about 115 guests, and there was way more than enough room in the Marquis, plenty of space for dance floor, social booth, and audio booth in the room. We highly recommend this location for your ceremony and reception.

Reflecting on our wedding day, we can't help but feel grateful for the dedication and hard work of Nicole and the Hotel Lafayette staff. They played a significant role in making our dream wedding a reality, and for that, we are thankful. To future couples looking for a great location, we highly recommend considering the Marquis Ballroom at the Hotel Lafayette. for a truly enchanting experience.

Perfect Wedding Weekend!

We had our daughters's wedding at the Marquis De Lafayette Ballroom. It was absolutely perfect! We worked with Marie and she was awesome! She was always very responsive with emails. Very accommodating when we wanted to meet up to go over room set up or show my daughter's new in-laws the room when they came into town. The day of staff was fantastic. They had the room set up exactly as we had wanted. It was perfect! I had many guest telling me how great the staff was. The head bartender was fantastic..making great drinks all night long. The food was delicious! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff made the night perfect. I really can't say enough about the whole experience. It was perfect!

The staff of the hotel, valet, and their communications with Pearl St. Catering are amazing! I was in the Roosevelt Suite for the night prior and the night of my wedding and it exceeded every expectation I could have possibly had! Thank you soo much for being professional, helpful, courteous, and helping make my wedding beyond perfection!!
