Awesome!! Best Day Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got married on 10/22/2022!!! My experience was amazing! From the time I booked the venue until I said farewells at my wedding! Max and his team were patient, kind and extremely helpful! Going in I had no idea what to expect, but they certainly paved the way and made my day even more special! I can't thank them enough for all the help and support!

Best venue ever!!

Astoria is truly amazing! If you’re looking for a venue that genuinely does it all, please choose them. My husband and I were both juggling demanding jobs and had very little time to handle the details of planning a wedding. Max and his team stepped in like true professionals — they took care of everything. From the cakes, the decorations, the drinks, the food — every detail was handled with care and excellence. Honestly, we really just showed up and they made the magic happen.

Their team is patient, organized, funny, and incredibly supportive. Even during a winter storm, they showed up in high numbers and made sure our wedding was nothing short of phenomenal. The level of care, professionalism, and dedication they bring is unmatched.

I’m forever grateful for how seamlessly and beautifully they made our day come together. Astoria is absolutely the place to be for your dream wedding!

Perfect from start to finish!!

Our wedding at Astoria Banquets was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Max and his entire staff were amazing! Super attentive, professional, and kind throughout the entire process and especially on the day of our wedding. Everything ran so smoothly, from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. The venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the drinks! We received so many compliments on how stunning the space was and how seamless the whole night felt. We’re so grateful to Astoria Banquets for helping make our day everything we dreamed of and more. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to host their special event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This is one of the most beautiful venues I have had the pleasure of performing a ceremony in. The venue is very clean and neat. It is a family owned business and the staff treats everyone like they are part of their family. They take care of everything down to the smallest detail. They are very professional and always remember that it is all about making the bride's dream come true. Go to their website or visit the venue and see for yourself Rev Giovanni
