About this venue

Set in North Tonawanda, New York, Wurlitzer Events is a wedding venue with three distinct event spaces. This unique location combines its historical background as a notable organ manufacturer with a modern, industrial aesthetic. It is ideally suited to couples looking for an eclectic wedding venue with ample room for customized design. Each event room is a blank canvas, waiting for someone to put their own unique spin on it.

Facilities and Capacity

Wurlitzer Events offers a choice of three spaces to host their celebration. The Wurlitzer Room on the first floor can accommodate events of up to 300 people. It comes with an illuminated patio and garden area, where guests can take a short break and breathe fresh air while enjoying the glow and warmth by the firepit. The second floor is home to the venue’s two other event spaces. The Tower Room is ready for groups of less than 150 for a cozier atmosphere. Lastly, the Recital Room is an intimate setting, available for ceremonies with up to 85 attendees. Both the Wurlitzer Room and Tower Room come with their own private get-ready rooms. High ceilings and wide industrial windows throughout make this building feel airy and spacious and let in copious amounts of natural light. An outdoor gazebo on carefully kept grounds can be used for a romantic ceremony or intimate pictures.

Services Offered

The events team at Wurlitzer Events can support couples in their wedding planning by helping out with the details. Setup and cleanup can be provided by the venue. Bar service at the Wurlitzer Building includes bartenders, as well as house liquors and wines. Chairs, tables, and a dance floor can all be supplied by the venue. The experienced in-house chef offers couples a variety of menus to choose from, whether they want a laidback buffet-style meal or elegant hors d’oeuvres. Tableware, including linens, is available from the building. Each event room contains a microphone and podium for touching speeches, and TV screens can also be arranged to display videos or slideshows. A chocolate fountain can be an additional decadent feature for your celebration.

Highly Recommend

The Wurlitzer and my event coordinator Ali were amazing. I had my ceremony in the upstairs ballroom and the reception in the downstairs ballroom. Ali was super helpful in my planning process, was super responsive to my many emails, and set up my decor exactly as I wanted. I have nothing but good things to say about the Wurlitzer as the building is beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, the downstairs bridal suite was super convenient, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They were also flexible with the dietary issues of my guests. I would highly recommend the Wurlitzer.

Fall Wedding

We decided to have our fall wedding at the Wurlitzer building. We needed a venue that had ceremony space and an all inclusive reception area. The patio was perfect and the ballroom was spaced out to fit our smaller wedding. Working with Ali made the wedding planning process easy. There was open communication. Any questions we had were answered promptly and thoroughly. She worked with any requests we made as far as allowing different food options for allergies and letting me bring in fun ideas to jazz up the reception. She was very organized between the few times we met with her, multiple emails, and day of the wedding every detail was correct. Theresa assisted the day of the wedding and did an incredible job! The guests said the food was fantastic. Bartenders were great with no lines for the bar. Ambiance of the entire venue was perfect. We were able to drop off decor a few days before the wedding and picked up a few days after the wedding which was immensely helpful. Would highly recommend the Wurlitzer for any sized wedding!

Wedding Review

I could never recommend a place or staff more than the Wurlizter. Don was beyond accommodating and kept me relaxed and at ease during our wedding planning. He was always there when we needed hi via phone call or email and I never felt like I was bothering him. He truly went above and beyond for us and made our wedding reception the most beautiful experience we could have asked for. The food was incredible and people are still raving to us about it. I will never not recommend the Wurlitzer to all of our family and friends. Ali was incredible as well and helped Don make our space beautiful--I couldn't have pictured it better in my head. The space itself is gorgeous and spacious. My wedding was close to 300 people but there was still plenty of room for dancing, no lines at the bars and never felt crowded for even a second. From someone who has a fear of trusting the process Don, Ali and the Wurlitzer staff gave me no reason not to. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with the Wurlizter. 1000/10.

Thank you Wurlitzer Events!

I am writing as a "Mother of the Bride"who had great hope that my daughter and future son-in-law would have a beautiful wedding reception. EVERYTHING exceeded my expectations, and I feel intensely grateful to all the staff for the care and thoughtfulness that was put into their work, making that day special.
Ali, who coordinated the event and worked with us throughout the planning process, was professional and a great resource. It was apparent that the staff and workers are professionally trained, as everything went so smoothly. It was exciting and fun to see how beautiful the room looked because of careful attention to details in the set up. Guests had high opinions of the food, and the menu options. Finally, I must mention how accomodating and careful Ali, the servers, and the kitchen staff were regarding the special needs of my young grandson, who has serious food allergies. Thank you Wurlitzer Events for an unforgettable and wonderful night!

Wedding 9/6/24

The Wurlitzer is a beautiful venue for a wedding! We had our wedding on 9/6/24 on the first floor room and had our rehearsal dinner the night before on the second floor room. Both rooms are amazing and spacious! I can’t say enough about the food both days. Our guests still talk about how amazing the food was. We had a buffet for the rehearsal dinner and surf/turf plated for our wedding. Ali was our wedding coordinator and she was phenomenal! I would work with her over and over again. Her attention to detail is incredible! My husband and I said for our next event we will definitely be reaching out to The Wurlitzer and Ali! Our wedding vision was brought to life and everything looked amazing! I will always recommend this venue location. Ali and The Wurlitzer staff at both the rehearsal dinner and our wedding ceremony were on top of everything. Everyone was so sweet, kind, and helpful and made us feel so good knowing everything was taken care of.

book your wedding here!!

We actually booked a different venue originally and four months later, they called everyone who booked with them to cancel. We decided to contact the Wurlitzer as our backup based on recommendations from coworkers and we are SO glad we did. Don was so responsive, and blocked off our date before we even came to tour. He didn't even know about our previous venue canceling. The best thing that could've happened to us was our first venue canceling. We loved it way more than the first one. Don was extremely great to work with and we appreciated how flexible he was. We also felt like the Wurlitzer was the only place that truly wanted us to have a great wedding, and didn't just want to nickel and dime us for everyone. The price was affordable, staff was great, food was hot when it came out and delicious and the space is beautiful. HIGHLY recommend you book your wedding at the Wurlitzer!

The best wedding experience

I truly don’t even know where to begin! My husband and I knew instantly after our tour of the Wurlitzer that this was the venue for us! Not only because the space itself was stunning but because of how comfortable Ali made us feel. We had the honor of working closely with Ali over the last 2 years and I can’t think of a better person to trust our wedding with! Her attention to detail goes unmatched and she genuinely cares about her couples. She always kept in mind what our vision was and did everything in her power to give us our dream wedding! When I tell you the level of shock my husband and I were in when we walked into our reception space.. absolutely unreal and perfect in every way. I get goosebumps thinking about how perfect everything was! Every single person who I have talked to has raved about how good the food, bar and staff were, all of which were very important to my husband and I. For anyone looking for a venue for any sort of event, the Wurlitzer is the place to be! You are guaranteed a beautiful space, good food and phenomenal staff!

I loved everything about our day so much that I had to send Ali a message immediately about how perfect everything was and how grateful my husband and I were for her! The Wurlitzer will hold a special place in our hearts forever and we can’t wait to host future events there!

Calling all future brides BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE!!!!

I cannot say enough, how wonderful Don and the team at Wurlitizer are! From the first meeting to the night of our wedding Don was on top of everything. Every detail was executed and no matter what was happening every employee that we encountered took the time to congratulate us and check in. Don communicates regularly and is honest and transparent. This venue is beautiful by itself but when you layer in a team that is truly dedicated to exceptional service it truly makes a difference.
