    Book them now!

    I don’t even know where to start with our review of Classics V. They were AMAZING from start to finish. We began planning our wedding in September of 2020 in the middle of covid. Christina and Anthony were so helpful in every step along the way. Every detail was handled beautifully. Classics V was accommodating to our last minute upgrades and changes. They had the timing of the reception down to a science. It was fantastic! And the food? AMAZING. I would recommend Classics V to anyone planning a wedding in the WNY area!

    Fairytale Wedding

    Our son and his Beautiful wife were married at Classics V Banquet & Conference Center last weekend. They could not have picked a more perfect establishment to have their rehearsal and wedding at! The owners, Danny and Lisa May, and two of their children Anthony and Christina met with them at least 6 times and quickly responded to their many phone calls and emails, to be sure that each and every detail was exactly how they wished, along with so many ideas that were shared by the owners to be sure that it was exactly what they hoped that their dream wedding could be. Their recommendations of other services, like the Bakery for their wedding cake, Limo Service, and DJ for their music were so appreciated and all were fantastic. They had a delicious "Celebration" package for their rehearsal dinner, which included things that are special to the Buffalo Area, like Roast Beef Sliders, Chicken Wings, and pizza, which were all prepared by their youngest son Adam. Complimented by Paula's Donuts and a Beautiful Chocolate Fountain surrounded by Biscotti, mini treats, and an array of fresh fruits. You could clearly see that the May Family has a passion for the service they provide!


    The Banquet & Conference Center was remodeled completely in March of 2021 and it was absolutely gorgeous! What impeccable taste from the lobby decor, to the Banquet Hall lighting and beautiful floors!!! It looked Amazing and was the perfect setting for a Fairytale Wedding. They chose to have their ceremony in the Terrace Room with a Beautiful Backdrop placed in the front, surrounded by windows which brought in the perfect amount of light. The Owner Lisa, organized the wedding party and gave the right cue during the whole ceremony for the Groom, Usher's, Bridesmaids, and the Bride and her father, which really put everyone at ease. Anthony, set the whole ceremony with the music as well as to be sure all guests were greeted and everything flowed properly. After the ceremony, we crossed over to the Banquet Hall and entered the Adam David Room for delicious Hors D'oeuvres while the Bride & Groom and wedding party left for pictures.


    All of the guests where then seated in the Anthony Daniel and Christina Maria Rooms which were combined together for their Reception, before the wedding party was announced. What a Gorgeous Setup, you could see everyone looking in with Amazement at how Beautiful the Banquet Hall looked with their new Renovations and Sparkling Ultra Modern Chandeliers. Each table was set up so tastefully with pretty candles in water filled glass center pieces surrounded with Ruscus and Gold Chargers. The chairs were wrapped in linens and pretty gold bows. The whole setup looked just stunning!!


    The service was fantastic with constant attention and the assortment of entries from the Cesar Salad, Prime Rib, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Pasta Primavera, and Garlic Smashed Potatoes were so tender and unbelievably delicious and also, all prepared Adam. All of the guests were raving about their dinners, the service, and how beautiful the banquet hall looked. They also had a photo booth for guests to enter, take some fun pictures, that were then placed in a photo album that the family and guests could write down well wishes for the bride and groom.


    We were so impressed by the many times Lisa, Anthony, and Christina met with, answered so many questions throughout their entire wedding arrangements, and during the wedding rehearsal, rehearsal party, wedding ceremony, hors d'oeuvres and wedding reception, they were all present to be sure that everything was set up exactly the way they had wanted and was Absolutely Perfect.


    What a Beautiful Banquet Hall complimented by Delicious Dining and Fantastic Service, with a promise that we will have many more family weddings, showers, and parties at this fine establishment! They deserve 10 Stars!!! Thank you so much for making their day so Special and Absolutely Perfect!!!!

    Beautiful Wedding!!

    We just had our wedding at Classics' V this past April and it was absolutely magnificent! The service and management is truly top notch. We met with Lisa, Christina, and Anthony several times prior to our wedding in order to go over the details. We reviewed seating charts, personalized our menu, dropped off supplies, and ran through just about every wedding preparation detail that you could imagine.

    Additionally Classics' was just completely remodeled inside and out!

    The menu selection and amount of available varieties was tremendous. Everything that we had chosen for our menu was absolutely delicious. The chef Adam, did a fantastic job and did not forget a single detail. The service and servers were incredibly kind and we were never left wondering where they went.

    This venue and it's staff have 35+ years of experience in the wedding and banquet industry and it shows. They know weddings and wedding planning like the back of their hand and don't miss a single detail. We could not have been happier choosing Classics' as our wedding venue, and our family and friends have not stopped talking about how awesome every aspect turned out!

    Perfect COVID Wedding

    Perfect! We took months trying to find the perfect venue for our wedding and the main banquet hall was also just remolded! To start, the staff was very accommodating and understanding when it came to planning. Lisa, Christina, Anthony and Rob were wonderful. Lisa and Danny planned several meetings with us to go over any questions, comments or concerns. Anthony helped us with decorations and what fit our idea the best, he was very creative! Christina was very reassuring and at times when we were unsure would also give us incredibly helpful suggestions. The management team works well together! During COVID, we were given updates as they progressed. The staff made sure we had a safe and fun wedding despite the gloom of the pandemic.

    Our rehearsal dinner was held here the night before the wedding. They let us go over the details and line ups as many times as we needed. After, we had food and dessert that was delectable! Dan was very helpful with clearing away plates, keeping our drinks refilled and any questions we had.

    For our ceremony, we held it in the Terrace room. The windows gave plenty of natural light and the arbor they had was the most gorgeous back drop. From the lanterns they set up for us to the aisle runner, it was all perfect. Though you hardly are focused on the decorations while you're walking up the aisle, it all was magical.

    For photos we went to a local area suggested by staff called Glenn Falls Park which was a perfect backdrop and close by! Due to it only being 12 minutes away, the guests had just enough time to eat the delicious hors d'oeuvre served by staff. The staff also set up our cocktail hour guest book and writing prompts for more entertainment exactly how it was requested.

    When we first arrived to the banquet for dinner, they had a plate of all of the hot hors d'oeuvres which were phenomenal (especially with how hungry we were after the ceremony and pictures). Dan and Laura helped us get our plates from the buffet to the table so we didn't have to carry it and I could focus on not tripping on my dress. Adam is an expert chef - out of all of the weddings we have been to, this by far was the most appetizing and heavenly meal I had at any of them.

    The décor was gorgeous. Everything was arranged as we had planned with them preciously. The lighting on the walls added such a nice touch and glow. The drink station was out of this world. They had several different types of base drinks (lemonade, raspberry tea, soda, etc.) and then add ons (fresh fruit, maraschino cherries, etc.). Not only did it looked elegant, it tasted fantastic.

    Anthony set up the photo booth for us! Two strips printed for every session, one for the guest to take home and then one for them to place in the photo album. In the album they then wrote something next to their photo for us. At the end of the night we had another memory to be able to take home with us!

    I will forever be grateful for every member of this staff who made our day so wonderful. It was an amazing wedding and we would have missed out if we had gone anywhere else. Thank you all for your amazing work.

    Incredible

    Classics gave my daughter a wedding far beyond what she could have thought or asked for, seriously! I am beyond thankful for the thoughtfulness, attention to detail and absolutely incredible service. There isn't a finer place that you could go for your child's wedding! Thank you Classics!

    Covid bride

    My husband and I were married at Classics v yesterday. We had our ceremony in the beautiful remodeled main building and reception in the terrace building. We worked with manager Christina who was always polite and professional. This venue provided a personal experience and we never just felt like another wedding. The staff during the reception were attentive and made sure we were always taken care of. Even during a pandemic classics v made my wedding planning not stressful and perfect. We recieved endless compliments about the food and staff. I cant imagine how perfect this venue is when we are not in the middle of a pandemic ! I would highly recommend clasics v

    Amazing and beautiful!

    We had our weeding back in August and it was beyond beautiful thanks to Classic V and their staff! We had some guests that had special diet needs and they went above and beyond for those guests! Everything that I had brought for favors and center pieces were put together just as we asked! They are amazing to work with! Food and prices are just as great!!!

    The staff at Classics were phenomenal and made planning for our wedding with them so easy. It started at our tasting, when they realized one of the people with us had Celiac and made a great gluten-free meal for him that night. They did that for all of our guests - they were so accommodating for our guests with allergies (and there were quite a few!), and all of the food was delicious with great choices. The staff themselves were wonderful - friendly, professional, quick, polite, knowledgeable.... We worked a lot with Christina and some with Anthony, who helped us stay on time and prepared; the night of our wedding, the rest of the staff were the same and helped everything go so smoothly from set-up to clean-up. They were fantastic to work with!

    Classics V management truly has made our wedding day unforgettable. Anthony in particular worked with us from the very beginning. He was very accommodating and detail oriented. He had the perfect ideas for what I envisioned our wedding to be like. He came up to us at our reception multiple times to make sure we were having a good time, comfortable to the temperature, had full drinks, etc. I could not be happier. I will recommend this venue to everybody I know. The food was amazing too. I had chicken cappellini, and my husband had NY Strip Steak. Everything was beyond perfect.

    Classics V was the perfect wedding venue for us. They were incredibly accommodating and answered all of our requests quickly. They let us mix and match our menu and we had the most delicious mashed potato station! We used the Christina and Anthony rooms and the were set up and decorated beautifully! They were willing to speak with me several times the week of the wedding and were available for drop off and safe storage of our items the days leading up to our day. We couldn't have been happier!

    Classics V is fantastic! They were so flexible to all of the last minute changes that occur just before the big day. They also thought of everything, including things that would have never crossed my mind. Working with them eased my mind tremendously as I never had to worry about a thing. I was given a very clear timeline at the beginning of the process of what they would need and they guided me through the whole process. I also had many guests tell me how impressed they were with the food and the service. The night was perfect because of how organized they were. The staff worked very diligently to make sure everything went right and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I highly recommend Classics V as they are very experienced and will give you the reception of your dreams!

    Classic V was the perfect choice to host my reception. The staff from day one was over the top friendly and professional. They help you with EVERYTHING !!!! Things I completely forgot or didn't even realize I had to do...they helped. That's just the beginning. They set up everything beautifully, and it just wowed us all. The food was DELICIOUS !!!! We started off with a nice salad, followed by steak, chicken, or vegetable lasagna. I know some of our guests were hesitant to get steak, as many places don't cook it the way they like it.... However, everybody said it was cooked perfectly. The chicken was moist and just fell apart. The groom and myself (bride), opted for the lasagna...it was AMAZING !!! We were definitely thankful for a fun-filled, amazing evening. One we will never forget !!! Thank you Classic V staff !!!

    I shopped around for venues. This was my last stop and I fell in love! The owners were so accommodating and very friendly. They worked with me every step of the way. We even got to bring our parents and sample the food before picking out our menu. Not many places have that anymore. We also were allowed to go and practice our dance there. During the reception when my husband and I were greeting everyone, the waiters brought us hors d'oeuvres because they knew we couldn't move!

    Classics V is the best venue in the area. The prices are reasonable and the business office staff are top notch. We had some last minute changes we had to make and they took it in stride. We wanted to have some special items at the wedding and they found them and then supplied the items. We also had to extend the bar for the wedding and they charged a very reasonable rate. They also offered a 1/2 and 1 hour extension for the bar.

    The food was awesome from appetizer, to main course, to dessert.

    The service staff were very nice and professional. We've used this venue a couple times and will continue to use it in the future since they have it all. Never a bad experience even when I was a guest there at someone elses event.

    Do not book until you've looked at this venue.

    Our wedding was perfect because of Christina and Lisa's outstanding service. I am a very detailed person and they exceeded my expectations! My family did not need to help with any decoration or service of any kind...just enjoy the celebration. Everything was even packed and ready to be picked up the next day! Thank you so much for all of your hard work...our day was truly perfect because of you!!
