Wedding of my dreams

We recently had the pleasure of having our wedding at Rich’s and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. I worked with Maureen the event coordinator and she was awesome. She always answered my questions in a timely matter and always made sure we were happy.

The venue itself is stunning. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and the ambiance was magical. It truly felt like a dream come true. We brought in our own decorations and the venue staff placed it in the exact places I wanted it and it all looked perfect.

The food was out of this world. We opted for a plated dinner. Usually wedding food gets bad reviews but out guests were raving about the food. The chef and catering staff clearly take great pride in their work.

The service was top-notch. The team at Rich’s went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. The staff was attentive, professional, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire event, making us feel like VIPs. We had multiple people from the staff come us to me and my husband and made sure we had a drink in our hand. They even packed away all our our decor and stuff we had left behind in the bridal suite and had it ready for us to the next day.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you’re looking for a venue that offers exceptional food, amazing service, and a truly beautiful setting, look no further than Rich’s . It was the perfect place for our special day! We have been getting non - stop texts and calls about how amazing our wedding was.

The BEST all in one venue!

Rich's is the absolute best!! It is hard to compare to anywhere else, we knew it was our venue from our first visit! It is hard to put how impressed we were into words!
From the very beginning Maureen and her staff were so welcoming and were so easy to communicate with! Our first venue meeting was supposed to happen in the winter, but when a blizzard hit Buffalo, Maureen was comforting and quickly worked with us to reschedule a time that worked for everyone! Once the weather cleared up, we got a tour and met with Maureen. She spent hours with us as we asked questions and looked through photos of different ideas of how the space could look and different options they provide! Rich's has everything on site! An incredible caterer- we heard from everyone how great the food was days later, a wonderful bakery, beautiful centerpieces, table settings and linens, a safe and secure wedding party space/bridal and groom suites--options to keep them together or two separate spaces if you choose to do a ceremony there! They have a ceremony space too!! They have a safe and secure parking lot that is easy to get into, and a secure room to keep all of your personalized items safe before and after your big day. They have it ALL! Not only do they have it all there, the staffing is unmatched! The entire night they handled everything! We were so relaxed and could have so much fun! We were never asked anything besides "Can I get you anything? or "Is there anything you need?". They know exactly how to do things, when to do things, and what to do during any moment! Rich's also provided a local hotel liaison to help coordinate any room blocks or hotel stays for the weekend! The amount of support and professionalism shown by Rich's staff is incredible. They truly made the whole process seamless!
Maureen worked with us through the whole process, she answered our late night emails from 2 years out to 2 days out with a kind, comforting and professional tone. She had excellent recommendations for other vendors. She was truly wonderful and exceeded all expectations! We could not have been more grateful that she was with us on our special day!
The food, the space, the ambiance, Rich's is phenomenal! We had the most PERFECT day all because of Rich's incredible staff and venue! We would choose Rich's again and again and again!!

The perfect wedding venue

Working with Rich’s for our wedding was simply amazing. Working with Maureen was fantastic from going through all the details of the day to answering all my random questions to making sure the big day went off without a hitch, Maureen and Therese were simply wonderful! The venue is beautiful and the food is fantastic! If we were to do it all again, we’d choose Rich’s in a heartbeat
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
