We Couldn't Have Asked for a More Perfect Wedding or Planning Experience!

There will never be enough words to explain how amazing La Galleria is and how grateful we are to the Event Director – Cherie, and the entire La Galleria team! Planning (and replanning) a wedding during covid wasn’t easy! But we still feel that even with having to plan and replan so many times, our experience with La Galleria throughout May 2019 – April 2022 was so much easier than any planning experience we could have had with any other venue, even in non-covid times.

La Galleria communicates via both phone and emails. We found some of our vendors ONLY communicated via phone and this made things very difficult when you just have a quick question. Due to covid, our planning took place over three long years, and Cherie just seemed to always telepathically know all the right times to check in. She was never, EVER overbearing (as we found some vendors to be), and she was so incredibly responsive.

Regarding set-up, take down and even adding decorations – La Galleria had it covered! They had various centerpiece options available (including lanterns and table numbers). After planning and un-planning so many times, I couldn’t be bothered to keep looking for centerpieces. We used La Galleria’s options and LOVED how it turned out. The venue itself is so beautiful and has so much character that the lanterns and table numbers alone were perfect without overpowering the beauty of the venue. We brought place cards and a few extra touches to be placed directly on the table, along with other items (cardbox, seating chart, etc.). I just dropped everything off the day before and the staff arranged ALL of it! They even distributed all the place cards according to an order list that we just dropped off. It took so much stress out of the day. They also packed everything up for us after the wedding. They did it so quickly, I didn’t even notice it happened! I literally didn’t lift a finger. We looked at a few venues where we would have been responsible to pack everything up (and set up) ourselves and I am so grateful that was not the case at La Galleria!!

As for the food - my Maid of Honour, after having been to 5 more weddings since ours took place in early spring, has voted our wedding at La Galleria to have had the best food of the wedding season. She also volunteered that information; I didn’t even ask her anything about the wedding to prompt that!

The “strawberries stuffed with goat cheese” were one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life. When adding them to the menu, it seemed like such a simple app, but it was so much more complex in flavor than I could have ever expected! DO NOT SKIP THESE!

When we first started planning, I wasn’t sold on the idea of dual plated entrees, but I am SO GLAD we went with this option! I normally would always choose beef over chicken, as would most of my friends, but the “chicken breast stuffed with brie and cranberries” was amazing and I loved that our friends and family who normally opt for beef got the chance to experience that chicken! I DEFINITELY recommend this option (and make sure to do the sour cream/cheddar mashed potatoes)!

Everything about La Galleria was amazing, but the best part was that from the start of planning until the end, every interaction with anyone at La Galleria felt like chatting/hanging out with friends and family. And the care and effort that the entire staff put into our day was so evident and so above and beyond anything we could ever have expected.

Thank you, La Galleria Team, for everything

Perfection

We choose La Galleria for our ceremony and reception. Everything was close to perfection. Cherie coordinated the entire day for us and made it go smoothly. Our day was truly better than I ever imagined it could be. We got married in front of the rustic barn doors and I promise it’s worth the extra money! It’s absolutely beautiful in the summer time. We didn’t even buy decor because they provide beautiful greenery and decor on the tables. It’s a perfect venue! We had 140 guests and everyone fit comfortably. After our wedding we got so many compliments on how beautiful our day was. Plus you get a bridal suite 2 hours prior to your ceremony!

Absolutely Seamless!

Our wedding was amazing! With the help of Cherie and her staff we were able to have an amazing day and not be hung up on the details. They took care of everything! The indoor/outdoor venue is exactly what we were looking for and it was a beautiful day! I appreciate all the coordinating that Cherie and her team did to make the day seamless.

Incredible!

La Galleria was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding with family and guests. The intimate, rustic setting made everyone feel comfortable and was exactly what we were hoping for. The food was incredible and months later, we still get compliments. Delicious appetizers, perfectly cooked entrees, and generous after dinner pizza and wings- no one left hungry.

Cherie and the entire team were kind, attentive and wonderful to work with. Despite COVID forcing us to reschedule our wedding, Cherie was with us every step of the way, working to find a new date, and customize the menu and drink selections to meet our budget. On the day of the reception, we especially appreciated the servers who paid special attention to our older family members.

We can not recommend La Galleria highly enough!

Cherie is outstanding!

Setting up our wedding with LaGalleria was so easy. Cherie was open to our ideas and was willing to work with us on every little detail. She of course had some great ideas of her own. The results were a wonderful, classy wedding that our friends are still talking about.
Everything was well thought out. The venue was amazing, the tables perfect and the food was great! Thank You Cherie and Staff.

Fantastic venue! Cherie the head planner was there for me every step of the way. The venue is gorgeous to begin with, but the staff is what makes it top notch. My guests raved about the food all night which was amazing. Would 100000/10 recommend La Galleria!

Highly Recommended!

Our wedding at La Galleria in September 2021 was a wonderful experience. We had both the ceremony and reception at La Galleria, and we loved having both the outdoor space for the ceremony, and the indoor space for the reception. Cherie, the owner and Event Director, was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We received positive feedback from our guests in terms of the food and how beautiful the venue was, and everyone had a great time. We are so grateful we chose La Galleria for our wedding, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue in the WNY area.

Fell In Love at La Galleria

We fell in love with La Galleria when we first came for a tour! It is the perfect mix of elegant and rustic! We loved the hanging lights, brick arches and the ceremony areas outdoors.

Cherie was wonderful in helping us plan our wedding at La Galleria. She coordinated so well with our vendors throughout the planning process and was willing to do whatever she could to help us have our dream wedding!

Throughout the pandemic, Cherie was reassuring about the constantly changing wedding rules. She helped us come up with backup plans for every possible scenario. She wanted the best for us and for our wedding day!

We had the most amazing experience at La Galleria. The staff was professional, the food was delicious, and our family and friends loved the beautiful venue! I would highly recommend La Galleria for any event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
