Timeless Elegance

This venue is easily one of the most gorgeous venues in Buffalo. The intricate vintage details have been lovingly maintained throughout the building. You can get away with minimal decor because the venue speaks for itself. The lighting in the terrace room is nothing short of ethereal.

Beyond the stunning architecture that transports you and your guests to another time, the staff at the Statler is top tier. Our event was handled with great care and extreme attention to detail. The planning process was aided by the hands of several knowledgeable professionals with a genuine passion for weddings.

They say you don't remember much from your wedding day because it goes by so fast, but the experience at the Statler was unforgettable from start to finish.

Amazing, Organized, Professional

The Statler was far from what I always pictured my wedding venue (I always wanted a rustic barn) but in the absolute best way!! We originally working with Hannah who was so helpful in getting the ball rolling, answering all our questions, and ensuring me that it would be absolutely beautiful. My husband always wanted a venue like the Statler and I am so glad I listened to him. Even when we had to switch coordinators, Hannah and Alex made the process absolutely seamless and we never felt any confusion and constantly felt like a priority to both of them!! The food, drinks and service the day of were just as amazing!! I, and several family members have food allergies and they accommodated every one of them without any issue. People have always told me about what people remember at weddings-food and music and we struck gold with both. We loved their willingness and professionalism in dealing with all our outside vendors as well! The Statler could not have been a more perfect venue!

Look no further than The Statler for your wedding!

Every couple should be so lucky to plan their wedding at The Statler. From the very start, working with Erin has been nothing short of incredible. She’s responsive, thorough, and kind, bringing a warm touch to the daunting nature of the wedding venue search.

And then there’s The Statler itself. Walking in, you immediately sense the rich history and beauty of this Buffalo landmark. It has clearly stood the test of time and is absolutely beautiful. Within five minutes, my fiancé and I both turned to each other and said, “this is where we’re getting married.” When you know, you know! The venue exudes charm, elegance and class.

If you are looking for the place for your special day, look no further than The Statler. The entire Statler team goes above and beyond to bring joy to the wedding planning process. They are flexible and willing to work with you in every way possible to make the wedding of your dreams a reality. We can’t recommend The Statler enough and are excited for our upcoming celebration!

Amazing Venue and Service!

Highly recommend this venue, they did a phenomenal job at accommodating our wedding wish list! Everything was so beautiful and we could not have asked for better responsiveness and flexibility from the Statler staff. Hannah was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for and ensured everything went smoothly for our wedding day. Erin was also extremely helpful. This is the best wedding venue in Buffalo, very close to hotels and great restaurants and bars.

Golden Ballroom Black Tie Brilliance

When I say The Statler Golden Ballroom was the most incredible and breathtaking wedding venue we could have ever dreamed of, I truly mean every word. From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was something special—but what they delivered on our wedding day far exceeded even our highest expectations.

Our wedding hosted 250 guests, which is no small feat for any venue. But The Statler executed it with absolute grace, elegance, and precision. The entire evening felt timeless, classy, and truly magical. The space itself is stunning—grand, historic, and immaculately maintained. The architecture and ambiance set the perfect backdrop for the most important day of our lives.

One of the standout elements of our experience was the staff. Every member of the team—from our event coordinator to the servers and bartenders—was attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our celebration seamless. The accommodations they made for us were thoughtful and personalized, and they made sure we never had to lift a finger the entire night. Their professionalism and warmth allowed us to relax and be fully present in the moment.

And the food... Every single guest raved that it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding. From cocktail hour to dinner service, everything was prepared and served flawlessly. Our meals were 10/10, and not a single bite was anything less than perfection. Everything about it was just delicious.

Logistically, the event ran like a dream. There were never lines at the bar, the dance floor was packed all night, and the flow of the evening was effortless. Our guests were entertained and cared for, and the joy in the room was palpable from start to finish. As the bride, I was over the moon—every detail was just as I imagined, if not better.

If you’re considering The Statler for your wedding or any large event, don’t hesitate. It is more than just a venue—it’s an experience. Our night was unforgettable, and we will always be grateful to the team for helping us create such beautiful memories.

Everything we could have ever wanted

The Statler provided everything we imagined our wedding could be. The space is stunning. Hannah was excellent at coordinating all the moving pieces. We did not need a wedding planner as she provided everything we needed. Food and service were exceptional. Highly recommended to anyone looking to have their wedding in downtown Buffalo.

Love Love Love

We hosted our wedding at the Statler in July, and it exceeded expectations. The Terrace Room, an absolutely gorgeous space, it had plenty of room for our 100 guests, and the cocktail space within the lobby was perfect. The Statler event coordinator, Hannah Lasher, was very hands-on and worked so well with our wedding planner Sarah (Good neighbor events) to address every handled every detail of the day, which reduced our stress and allowed us to focus on enjoying our wedding. We highly recommend The Statler for anyone wanting a well-run wedding or event in a beautiful historical setting.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
