My husband and I did a ceremony for our 15 year anniversary, I’ve planned a lot of events including my actual wedding, The level of service here was top notch. Nothing can compare to how much the staff cared.

If you are in the Buffalo, NY area and are looking for a venue I HIGHLY suggest the Tonawanda Castle. It is a beautiful, historical building. We had our ceremony and reception there and continue to get compliments about it. It is spacious and there is a lot of room to relax as well. They do their own catering and the food is AMAZING. Kelli, our wedding coordinator was a savior and so experienced.

The Tonawanda Castle is truly an all in one stop, on our approaching big day. With a detailed tour of every square inch, along with a sit down discussion of budget and options available, we ended up booking the same day!

The Tonawanda Castle couldn't have been a better fit for us. From the day we toured the venue to day we picked up all of our items after the wedding, the staff could not have been any more helpful or supportive, The staff was incredible! Any question, no matter how many I had, was answered in a immediate fashion. Lindsay, Teena, Kelli and Rich make an amazing team as well as the entire staff. We had numerous guest reach out to us after our wedding to compliment us on the venue with the most wonderful comments about the staff. Our guests were impressed with the attentiveness of the wait staff and the quality of the entire meal and drinks. From the time our guests walked in the front door for our ceremony, they were welcomed with a drink, then enjoyed an amazing cocktail hour with great appetizers then were welcomed into the ballroom. The staff was so accommodating to our guests. Food was out of this world and the attention to detail the staff provided was outstanding. Our guests also complimented how "neat" it was to be able to explore all the rooms of The Castle, Not only did our guest have a fantastic dining experience (we received compliments such as "better meal they have ever had at a wedding") but a reception venue full of history. The Tonawanda Castle far exceeded our expectations (We have very high expectations by the way!)
The Tonawanda Castle provided us the best back drop for all our wedding photographs and video as well. The building is so rich in history, architecture and has so many little details that really made all of our memories in pictures and video make you just say WOW! The Tonawanda Castle literally made our Fairy Tail come true! Thank you Lindsay, Teena, Rich, Kelli and the entire staff for the best day of our lives!

We worked with Teena and Rich and I cannot day enough good things about them. Firstly, the food was amazing. Very accommodating to food allergies!!! You cannot beat the quality of the food! Teena is amazing. Always willing to answer any questions and suggest things! The decor was breath taking. We used the castle for both ceremony and reception and it was beautiful.

My daughter and now son-in-law chose Tonawanda Castle for their wedding ceremony and reception. WOW! Amazing venue! I can't thank everyone at the Tonawanda Castle enough, especially Lindsey and Teena. As the mother of the bride and organizer of the wedding, they worked with me and my family through it all. Weddings are a lot of work and stress, but the Castle took care of everything, down to the smallest detail. I literately dropped off the center pieces and decorations for the reception and they set everything up perfectly. They allowed me to hang a garland from their archway in the ceremony room without a problem. They offered to put it up for me,but I'm a little O.C.D. with stuff and wanted to do it. Areas were clean. Food was epic! All the guests commented on the freshness and originality of the Hors d'œuvres. The cocktails and drinks were NOT watered down at all. I have been to other weddings where it tasted like they watered the liquor down. Not at the castle. Guests commented on the great drinks the bar tenders were serving. I received nothing but compliments from the wedding guests about the service, food and uniqueness of the Tonawanda Castle. The staff at the castle worked with the DJ and photographer to keep the timeline moving flawlessly. My daughter and son-in-law did not do a dry run rehearsal the day before the wedding, so it was chaotic before everyone walked down the aisle UNTIL Teena organized everyone and got the job done without a problem. So grateful for Teena. The staff at the Castle treated us as if we were family, went over and beyond what would ever be expected at a venue. They made the night magical. Even lite the sparklers at end of the night
Wedding guests came from LA, Florida, NYC, Washington DC, PA and other parts of NY and Canada. They all said it was worth the trip to see such a beautiful wedding in such a beautiful setting.
THANK YOU to everyone at Tonawanda Castle.
You made my daughters special day perfect!

Our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect! Rich went out of his way to make sure our food was just what we wanted. The decor was just the way I dreamed. Wait staff were speedy and very polite. Plenty of space to get ready on site. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Photos came out amazing, You won’t be disappointed.

I would recommend the Tonawanda Castle to anyone! From the first time my husband and I visited the castle and met with the team there, we knew that was where we wanted to have our wedding. The team was great to work with - responsive, helpful, and definitely experts in their industry. I knew that all I had to do was tell them how I wanted things and that they'd take it from there. On the day of, it looked better than I could've even imagined. The day before the wedding, I was having an issue with one of my vendors. They could tell that it was really stressing me out, and they had a relationship with the vendor. They were kind enough to get on the phone and straighten it out for me, which wasn't something they had to do, but they did. The food was amazing - I still have people tell me how great the food was. Rich is a chef and lets you come up with your own menu. He literally told us "whatever you want, I will make it." We had no limits in terms of menu which was really awesome. You also get the entire castle to yourself on the day of your wedding which was convenient and nice not to have everyone crammed into one of our parent's houses or a hotel room getting ready. Myself and the bridesmaid had an entire floor, and the groom and groomsmen also had their own floor. Both floors are huge.There was 12 of us in the bridal suite at one point and we still had a ton of room and didn't feel crammed together. The Castle itself is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about having their wedding there.

We had our wedding on April 14th, 2018- the night we had the surprise snow/ice storm! I have to say that choosing Tonawanda Castle was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. Firstly, the staff are all amazing. Lindsay was so great through the entire process- whenever I had questions she would always get back to me quickly and had all the information I was asking about. Rich is so passionate about food and he made a completely custom brunch (for dinner) menu for us that was absolutely amazing. Teena is a great event coordinator and everything was set up even better than I could have ever pictured it. The service staff that took care of us and brought us food and drinks all evening were great too. I did not have to worry/stress over anything the day of. Everything went wonderfully, despite the surprise April storm. I would 10000% recommend the Castle. The staff are pros and can help make your dream wedding come true.

We chose the Tonawanda Castle for catering after looking at reviews, and were not disappointed with our choice. Rich was very flexible with the menu, and he created some really interesting and delicious stations for our guests at the Botanical Gardens. The food was amazing! Teena was our coordinator for catering, and she was always prompt and professional with her replies - she made it a stress-free evening!
