Incredible Wedding Experience
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott in June of 2026 and I could not say enough good things about the entire experience. We worked with Jenn and Emily and they were beyond amazing to work with. They were so responsive, kind and helpful with everything. They made the whole process feel so easy from planning to the execution day of. I couldn't believe how affordable the wedding packages were compared to other venues in Buffalo.
The food was delicious and our guests loved the signature cocktails. We also got ready in the Presidential Suite and it was so beautiful and spacious, perfect for doing hair and makeup. The team at Marriott truly made us feel like VIP's and I could not recommend this venue enough!

Bridal shower of my dreams!
I hosted my bridal shower here, and it was everything I could have asked for and more! The staff was incredibly accommodating and worked with me to create a custom farmers market inspired menu. Everything from the food to the drinks on the day of was absolutely fantastic. They helped make my bridal shower so special and memorable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Great wedding and team!
We had two of our three day cultural wedding at the Marriott! The team was extremely professional and organized, price was very reasonable and the new renovations were a huge improvement to the ballroom. The team is extremely responsive and kept track of all of our details, which was a lot! We got compliments on the food especially the salmon. Also the presidential suite is amazing for your bridal party to get ready. I would definitely recommend the Marriott Harborcenter for anyone looking to have their wedding in downtown buffalo, conveniently located by the water for photos!

Beautiful Venue for Our Holud Celebration!
We had an amazing experience hosting our Holud ceremony at LECOM Harborcenter in Buffalo, NY! The Pan-American Ballroom felt bright, polished, and wonderfully spacious, with its elegant finishes, warm lighting, and open layout creating a welcoming atmosphere for our special occasion. Our colorful decorations brought the room to life, filling the ballroom with vibrant hues and festive energy while leaving plenty of room for guests to mingle, dine, and enjoy the celebration comfortably. The buffet was beautifully presented, and the inviting aromas and carefully arranged dishes made serving dinner feel effortless. The dining area was organized and comfortable, while the beverage stations were convenient and thoughtfully set up for guests throughout the evening. Our family and friends enjoyed the lively atmosphere, delicious food, and generous space to celebrate together. Everything came together beautifully, making our Holud a truly memorable event for us and our families. We highly recommend LECOM Harborcenter to anyone looking for a beautiful venue for a wedding, Holud, or any other special celebration!

Emily b and the team excel!
Emily Buchholz and the team at Marriott LECOM HARBORCENTER did an exceptional job for us. We were in town for a family wedding at a church in Buffalo with the reception at a nearby event space. Our guests occupied a total of 35 rooms. Some of us stayed at the Marriott for five nights, most for two, some for as few as a single night. All of us enjoyed first-class service from the teams at the front desk, the restaurant, the concierge lounge and the get-ready space, in which the ladies indulged in a wonderful breakfast and lunch while having their makeup applied and hair done. The staff is professional, polished and friendly. No detail was overlooked. Special requests were cheerfully accommodated. The hotel itself is well-located in the canal-side area. I look forward to my next stay at the Marriott LECOM HARBORCENTER.

Wedding July 2026
The Marriot was an absolutely joy to work with from the very start of searching for a venue they stood out against the rest. Jennifer was a joy to work with and is as detailed and thoughtful as every bride dreams for someone to be when it comes to wedding details. All of the staff were lovely there and I truly was able to relax the day of my wedding.
Our family and friends still are saying 2 months later how great the food was and what a wonderful time they had.
