Incredible December Wedding

My daughter's wedding was absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, service exceptional and they were incredibly accommodating. I could not come up with one negative.
Austin and his staff left nothing for us to worry about. We booked the Silver Arrow band and they were so so worth every penny. A few friends told me this was their favorite wedding venue, they said they went to a wedding that turned into a Motown concert. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
Austin and staff, I can’t thank you all enough for all your hard work and professionalism
Silver Arrow Band, you are all incredibly talented and were instrumental in making this wedding everything we could have hoped for and more
Thank You Again!

2024 Fall Wedding @ Asbury Hall (Babeville)

Weddings can be stressful, especially when this is the third wedding that we (parents) have planned for our adult children. I wish we had known Austin Scaccia sooner! The Venue (Asbury Hall), Planning/Suggestions/Guidance (Austin), and Catering (again Austin and Exquisite Catering) was top notch and very professional throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding/reception. We can't say enough about how smooth the process and attention to every detail that Austin provided was. The reception meal was absolutely outstanding!!! We have provided very nice wedding/receptions at two other high end Buffalo area Venues for our other two children and this was by far the best! Thanks again to Austin Scaccia for all his guidance and help through the process and for exceeding expectations on the day of the event! We highly recommend!

Amazing from start to finish

If you are debating having your wedding here, do it. I cannot think of one annoying or difficult thing I had to deal with when planning my wedding at Babeville. All of the reviews about Austin are true- he is extremely helpful and professional. All of my random and sometimes silly questions were answered within hours in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day of, we were able to use Babeville as a starting point for pictures while they were still setting up. We had drinks and snacks available throughout the day. The actual wedding was magical. The staff made sure I always had a drink in my hand and saved food for us while we took a few pictures during cocktail hour. If I needed anything throughout the night one of the staff members was there to help or deliver. And definitely do the after party!! SO worth it.

The best experience from start to finish

My daughter recently had her reception there. The experience was superb thanks to Austin and his staff. The guests raved about the food, the service and the venue. Austin is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when assisting you in the planning. Execution of the setup of the room was superb. No need for a wedding planner the day of. Austin stayed the entire night right up to the wrap up of the after party at 2 am. I would highly recommend this venue and Exquisite Catering.

Just perfect

I wouldn’t change a thing about our experience with Asbury Hall and Austin and his team at Exquisite Catering. The food was incredible, the service was amazing, the venue was unique and absolutely beautiful (the cafe bulb lights and uplighting are a must), and everything went SO smoothly thanks to Austin’s coordination. It was one of the greatest days of our lives, and we got non-stop compliments about what a great event it was. I might get divorced just so I can get married at Asbury Hall again.

Book them now

What can I say about Austin and the team at the Babeville that hasn’t already been said? The food and drinks? Perfection. The venue? Gorgeous. The staff? Considerate and hard-working. The prices? They give you more for your money (the Sanctuary Package) than other comparably priced venues in the Buffalo area. We booked Asbury Hall in January 2020 before the pandemic hit. When it did, Austin was supportive of whatever we wanted to do – be it having a small wedding or waiting out the storm so we could have our big bash – which is what we chose. He kept us informed, was always willing to discuss changes to the reception details, and gave clear instructions about payments, vendors in the area, and how things were going to work on the day of. The wedding day was flawless thanks largely to Austin and his staff doing exactly what we planned, and more. I have lost count of the number of guests who have told us that this was one of the best, if not THE best, wedding they had ever attended. If you want a venue with good food with lots of options, a large space that you can make your own with a historical touch, and the privacy that comes with a single-event space – this is for you. When compared with the many banquet hall facilities in the area, there is just no question that Babeville wins.

Could not have asked for a better experience

Austin and his team were fantastic and flexible throughout our wedding planning process, and especially at the event. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The venue is gorgeous and our friends and family had the best time. The after party was well worth it and gave everyone time to eat and unwind after the wedding.

Our wedding was a dream!

I cannot say enough about Asbury Hall. Our wedding day was a dream from start to finish. The building itself is stunning and had all our guests impressed with it’s historic charm (most out of towners!), but the venue’s coordinator Austin was really the MVP of the entire affair. He was so patient with me and all of my questions and put me at ease. He knows weddings so well and I was so impressed with him and our set up. He kept steady communication going with us throughout our year and a half of planning. The catering was excellent and our servers and bartenders were amazing. Many of our guests contacted us the day after to tell us how much fun they said, and several said it was the best wedding they’d been to. My new husband and I HIGHLY recommend this venue!!!! Do not hesitate! Thank you Austin!

Amazing!!!

From start to finish planning a wedding at Asbury Hall was the best decision we could have made!
Austin (the coordinator) is AMAZING and with you every step of the way. Any questions or concerns you have he is available to address with you.
Austin and the staff are spectacular at making your vision come alive - from food to decor to logistics. No surprises, no confusion- straightforward and pleasant to work with.
The night of your wedding will go by so fast, but they will still be with you every step of the way to remind you of important items (ex. Dinner will be served in 15 minutes or dancing with your parent in 10). They pack up your items and have them ready to go for you by the next day.
Get married and celebrate here- you won’t regret it!!!

The perfect venue

I could not have imagined my wedding anywhere else. Asbury Hall was perfect in every way and the staff was amazing. My husband and I moved to Rhode Island after we were engaged so we were planning the majority of our Buffalo wedding from out of town. Austin was amazing, he is so responsive and tentative to all of our questions and concerns we had along the way. Him and his staff at Exquisite Catering made the day run so flawlessly. They know exactly what they are doing and it shows. Every staff member we interacted with was so courteous and kind, and genuinely happy to be there for our day. The food was AMAZING! The staff gave the wedding party their food right away so that my husband and I could make our rounds while our guests ate. SO happy we got to eat because everything was so delicious and all of our guests would agree. I cannot say enough of how perfect and smooth our day went and the same with all of the planning that lead up to it. Austin volunteered to drive us to our hotel that night because we figured we could walk the half block after the reception, but failed to realize how much stuff we would be carrying with us! So so thankful for that offer! Asbury Hall was an amazing venue and I cannot rave enough about the staff and Austin. They truly made our day perfect and I am forever grateful for everything and everyone there!!
