I cannot say enough amazing things about Kotecki’s and their staff. I’m a perfectionist and I’m terrible at making decisions so those qualities together made wedding planning ridiculously stressful for me. Looking back, I genuinely cannot imagine working with anyone other than Kotecki’s.

My husband and I looked at MANY venues prior to Kotecki’s but there was always something we didn’t like either about the venue itself (e.g., no windows, no outdoor space, too “banquet hall-y”) or the person we met with (e.g., not personable). Our meetings generally lasted maybe 15 minutes or so. Then, we met with Kotecki’s… we left over an hour later and we were sold. We knew that these were the kind of people we wanted to work with and trust with our wedding.

As wedding planning progressed, we got to know the Kotecki’s staff more and more. Long story short, I corresponded with Kate back and forth more times than I can count addressing my concerns and indecisiveness and I ultimately chose to let her and my florist (Blossoms N Treasures) basically take the reigns as far as décor, design, etc. because I didn’t know what I was doing and couldn’t actualize my ideas. I had way too many tabs open on my computer with contending centerpiece ideas, cake toppers, seating charts, etc. and I became very overwhelmed. We saw our room (the Cecilia room) multiple times prior to our wedding when we stopped by Kotecki’s for meetings, to drop stuff off, etc. so I honestly wasn’t anticipating having any sort of emotional reaction to seeing the room on our wedding day. The moment I walked into the room, I honestly started to cry. Somehow after expressing the jumble of ideas in my head, Kotecki’s executed the most beautiful reception I could’ve ever imagined. They absolutely transformed the already beautiful room into the perfect space for me from the stunning seating chart (which they made) and welcome area to the linens to the floral arrangements to the uplighting and everything in between.

They were so accommodating and always went above and beyond. There were times during the planning process that I started to doubt what I was doing so I asked to swing by to yet again check out the space and talk through things and they would always be welcoming and help calm my nerves. I quickly learned that they don’t accept anything less than perfect from themselves, which was reassuring to me.

The outdoor space was beautiful. Our wedding day was HOT so their A-frame tent was perfect to provide a cooler place for people to sit and socialize during cocktail hour (but it would be great for a rainy day, too). Their gazebo, waterfall, landscaping, and surrounding trees created a picturesque atmosphere.

Before our wedding, whenever we said our reception was going to be at Kotecki’s, nearly every single person would respond, “Their food is so good!” I must say, they weren’t wrong. From the hors d'oeuvres to the late night snacks, everything was cooked & plated perfectly and served promptly. People may not remember (or recognize) that I upgraded to higher quality napkins but they will always remember how delicious their meal was.

I know I’m biased, but it’s 3 months later and people are still telling us how much they enjoyed our wedding and how beautiful it was. Since day one of planning, I was worried about having regrets about our wedding day decisions and I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a single thing; it was perfect (and I have Kotecki’s to thank for that).

We had our wedding reception at Kotecki’s back in 2018. Kate worked with us every step of the way to ensure everything would run smoothly and helped my vision come to life. We all loved the food, atmosphere and service.
When looking for a place to host my baby shower last summer (2023) we knew Kotecki’s would deliver! We were able to use the giant tent outdoor space and it was the perfect spot. Food was once again delicious and staff was helpful and friendly!

If you’re looking for an amazing wedding venue in WNY, look no further. John and Kate were always available along the way to answer any of our questions or concerns. They made sure the food tasted great and that our big day ran smoothly and on schedule.

Because of the COVID pandemic we were unable to have our wedding & reception at Kotecki's (very sad 😢). John was so accommodating and gracious to offer us a full refund after he had to shut down again. We were certainly blessed! We definitely hope to plan an anniversary party there so we can actually experience and enjoy all that Kotecki's has to offer with all of our family and friends!!!

I don’t even know where to begin to describe how AMAZING of a venue Kotecki’s is. Everything from the atmosphere, food, music, decor, location, and all the tiny details in between - we cannot say enough great things. John and Kate are absolutely incredible and are amazing at what they do. My husband and I knew right when we walked into Kotecki’s that we found our wedding venue and over the last two and a half years the two of them have become more than just our “wedding venue managers” and instead good friends - they truly make you feel like family right when you walk in the door! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and I am SO thankful we had them to work with - always made sure we were taken care of, did whatever they needed to reschedule our date, and always put our minds at ease to ensure we’d have the perfect day and it truly was everything I imagined it to be.

Our guests still rave over the food (filet and chicken cordon bleu for the win!) and their in house DJ had our entire wedding on the floor dancing all night long. Our wedding night was absolutely magical, John and Kate were so attentive to every detail and made sure not only myself and husband were taken care of all night long, but our guests as well. Kate even came to the rescue to bustle my wedding dress at cocktail hour! The outdoor patio was an added bonus to our entire event - John added so many final touches weeks, and even days before our wedding and everything outside on the patio was absolutely beautiful & Kate transformed all the decor inside to everything I pictured it to be! We will never forget how special they made us feel as the bride and groom & their help in making our big day a night we will never forget. We are so grateful for their efforts and outstanding professionalism; I truly wish we could hit rewind on our weekend. Would recommend their service a thousand times over!

We started our reception site search with a few non-negotiable expectations: Quality food, appealing venue, and a reliable source of insight to help guide us along the way.

To say that we Kotecki's Grandview Grove surpassed all of those expectations is an understatement.

John and Kate do an incredible job making sure everything is exactly the way you want it. They helped us walk through options and were able to predict how the majority of our night would work in detail. With their help and creative experience, we had beautiful centerpieces, something we had struggled with mightily, and something which doesn't normally fall on the shoulders of the reception site. The food was incredible; far and away the best we have ever had at a banquet facility (a sentiment shared by the entirety of our guests). The service was phenomenal and their team was professional and efficient and ran without a hitch.

They made our big day easy. They surpassed our expectations. Plainly, they made our big day perfect.

My wife and I can not recommend their services or facilities enough.

John and Kate were great in helping to plan our wedding. John was great in helping us to think up ideas to make our day special. As it goes with planning a wedding, there were lots of emails and details and changes and they did a great job handling it all. Their staff was extremely helpful the day of and during the rehearsal. We had a plate of the appetizers on our table for dinner and they were super attentive to make sure we had everything we need the day of. We had DJ Jammin' James and he was great as an MC and DJ, and a super sweet guy to work with.

My husband and I got married 9/21/19. We started planning our wedding almost 2 years ago. From start to finish everything was perfect. John spent two hours with us at our first meeting making sure all of our questions were answered explaining absolutely everything to us! He even made sure he has additional staff on hand if our meeting ran over which it did. But he was prepared. Everything in between our first meeting to our last in which we talked over all the game plan for that day was wonderful. Kate was there to guide me and answer my questions and also calm me down when I was panicking! John and Kate were amazing. They communicated effectively and timely throughout the entire process. Day of, everything was BEAUTIFUL and they went above and beyond adding fine little details to make sure our day was magical. The food, wow... it was phenomenal. Our appetizers were great. My favorites were the crab cakes and bacon wrapped scallops. DELISH. We had dual plated chicken and filet, with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was mouth watering good and cooked to perfection. Words cannot describe how amazing Koteckis was and I will recommend them over and over again. 10/10😍

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Kotecki’s on the 20th of July.

From the very first contact to say John and Kate have been amazing would be a huge understatement. Their responses were always prompt and extremely helpful!! Their interactions customer service and friendliness were a huge part in us selecting Kotecki’s which we had never before heard of as our venue!!

After meeting with John and Kate to view the venue we selected Kotecki’s as our venue and were super excited!! This venue is beautiful both inside and out and can accommodate weddings small and big both inside and out!!

We had our wedding inside the Natalie room and everything was absolutely gorgeous!! The day of everything was perfect down to every last little detail we had discussed prior with Kate and John!! They sure went out of their way to make sure staff had everything set up perfect for us!!

We selected the roast beef, charcoal roasted chicken, red bliss mashed potatoes, glazed carrots and penne pasta with sauce in family style fashion!! Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was top notch!!

Our guests were all raving days after about how much they loved our wedding reception and how it was the best they had been to in awhile from the top shelf bar selections to the delicious food service, beautiful atmosphere and rocking DJ and dance floor!!

We Highly recommend this venue for your upcoming wedding and would chose them again 1,000,000 times over!! Thank you again Kotecki’s for helping us celebrate or marriage and giving us more than we could ever dream of and more!

The venue search stopped after visiting Kotecki’s. We toured the grounds with John and fell in love. John was spectacular. He made planning easy (even with our thousand questions) and was always available. He promptly answered our emails and anytime we needed to drop by he was there. With a mixup on our beer selection John personally ran out to buy the correct beer for us AND did it under 10 minutes, I am not exaggerating. Going above and beyond is his specialty. Both rooms are gorgeous and the outside space is breathtaking. We were able to set up the day before our wedding and go in and out, use the space, as we needed the entire day. It was super accessible! Everything that was a part of our wedding and Kotecki’s...was simply amazing.

The food.... oh man... the food was absolutely delicious. Every guest had a clean plate by the end of dinner. With the duel entree, there was plenty of food. The appetizers were exquisite. Dinner came out on time and accommodated the picky flower girls with some delicious chicken fingers. We used the in-house DJ and danced the whole night. DJ Johnny K kept everything on time and swift. He played anything we requested and gave us a plethora of chart topper songs to choose from.

I cannot say enough great things about Kotecki’s or John and Kate. They run an amazing establishment. Absolutely recommend to any future brides and grooms. I would get married a million more times and choose Kotecki’s every time!
