Absolutely wonderful

They were absolutely fantastic! They accommodated me and helped me through the process since I was an out of town bride. Their Meadows room was more than enough and the food was fabulous!

You will not find better than Joseph's!

We just recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Joseph's on 9/16/22 and I have nothing but amazing things to say about them! Rich & Debbie are the most accommodating and nice people we worked with for our wedding. We had our ceremony right outside the Meadows room in their garden which was BEAUTIFUL! After the ceremony we were able to take pictures on their grounds, the entire property looks amazing! The Meadows room is decorated so beautifully (I put some pics but it really does not give it justice). The room felt magical! The entire staff (servers, bartenders) were wonderful and so nice throughout the whole evening. The food was out of this world and I wish I could go back and eat it all again lol! We truly had the best night of our lives there and I wish I could relive it over and over again. The place is beautiful, the price was amazing and I am so glad I chose Joseph's!!

Best venue in Buffalo

Joe and Debbie took care of us and made sure everything was perfect for our special day. Food was amazing as always! Thank you both for being patient with us!

So happy we chose Joseph’s

We just had our wedding at Joseph’s on June 25 2021. We were in the Grove room which was awesome! We loved the glass window walls and that they were able to be opened to get fresh air and a nice breeze. (Especially because it was 80+ out that day). We also loved that with the Grove room we had access to being able to use all the outdoor activities that they had and we were also able to bring our own outdoor games as well! So all out guests had a fun time. Not only did we all have something to do the food was amazing and the desserts as well! We couldn’t be any happier with our choice in choosing Joseph’s to have out wedding! Richard and Debbie were very helpful and awesome as well! They were both very responsive and didn’t mind answering an dumb question my mother and I had through out the whole planning experience. They both knew exactly what they were doing and helped guide us through everything and have great advice. So glad we chose this venue!

Beyond expectations

Debbie and Rich couldn't have been more accommodating. We got married during Covid. We were just going to get married by justice of the peace until we ran across the micro wedding package Joseph's was offering. We started with one micro wedding package and we're able to switch to another without any issues. Debbie worked with us every step of the way and was great. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious and service was awesome. The package included the officiant, cake, appetizers, full bar and 2 meat plated dinner and background music. They also offered photographer and Dj for a small additional price. We were able to have both our ceremony and reception in one place . We couldn't have been more pleased. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed if you decide to go with Joseph's Grove and Catering. My wife and I loved everything about them and this venue

This venue and the people who provided the service were amazing. Joseph's planner walked my daughter and myself through the whole process. They took into consideration all my craziness planning my daughter's wedding. They provided patient, professional assistance. The day of the ceremony was amazing they provided refreshments for the girls as they set up all the centerpieces,etc Which was not included however they kindly offered it at no cost. We also had a friend in a wheelchair and their waitresses walked with her and her guest carrying their food back to their seats. They did this with minimal distraction , in fact I was unaware until I was told by our guest. Also the food was amazing ! People we raving all night long. The set up, the lighting, and all the outdoor activities were great. We used the Grove and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! I feel like I definitely received my moneys worth...actually more than my moneys worth! Thank you Joseph's for making Kelsey and Ricky's wedding the most memorable day for all of us!

A 5 star rating does not come close to describing our experience! We were very pleased with the various vendors for our wedding, but by far our favorite choice was Joseph’s!

Beyond the venue itself, we chose Joseph’s as our wedding reception venue for two reasons: the food and the owner/service. Both far exceeded expectations.

Owner/Staff: Rich was amazing to work with, being available to answer all of our questions. His vast experience makes him extremely prepared to handle any situation. He was always very honest with us and was never out to get us to spend more money for less important things. The staff was absolutely wonderful, extremely professional and personable. Rich was there the wedding day to make sure that everything went smoothly, and it went perfectly. Without being asked, employees stepped in to assist older guests who were unable to move well by getting their plates for them.

Food: The #1 thing that people will comment on and remember (good or bad) about wedding receptions is the food; Joseph’s still has our guests raving about the food well after! The food was unbelievable! We had attended a Joseph’s taste testing and really enjoyed the food, but the food at the wedding was even better! Countless guests came up to us on the wedding day and after, raving about the food. The biggest compliment came from a guest (who is a great cook and is very opinionated on food quality) who said that the food at our wedding was the best food at any wedding he has ever been to. Another guest said that he loved Joseph’s food so much that he will strongly advise his daughter to make Joseph’s her reception venue.

There are many beautiful wedding venues in the area, but the service and food that Joseph’s provides will not be met by any of them! Joseph’s is professional, kind, concerned with making sure everything goes wonderfully, and simply the best. We highly recommend Joseph’s to every couple looking for an ideal wedding venue!

Joseph's Catering has been wonderful from the very first day of our meeting for a quote up until our wedding day. Rich was the most professional caterer we met while shopping around and we booked them before we even had a tasting. We did eventually have our tasting and we knew we made a great choice. They worked with us on the menu and allowed us to make changes. On our wedding day the food was amazing but it was the service that put them over the top. The servers and manager were so amazing the day of. I would recommend this caterer for any event especially a wedding.

Everyone at Joseph's was wonderful to work with and they always took the time we needed to answer our questions! They made all of the plans for our wedding day easier and helped go through what we needed. Shelly was extremely helpful on the phone and in person when going over details. On the day of the wedding, Shelly and Rich were so helpful and truly kind. Rich knew exactly what to do and when and made the whole evening feel like a breeze. I am so grateful that we had our wedding at Joseph's Country Manor!!!

The pictures posted do not even do this venue any justice. Everything from the quality of service, to their flexibility with how we wanted things to go, to the food that they served which tasted absolutely amazing, we couldn't have picked a better venue to have our wedding! The owners, Rich and Debbie, worked so well with us and were very accommodating to our needs. Debbie, who is very crafty, did all of my centerpieces for me. They turned out just how I envisioned them and it also took a lot of stress and time off of my shoulders! She also helped me with a few other things including my arbor for the gazebo that we were married under and some decorations. We went to two of their public tastings before deciding on our menu and had a hard time picking because everything was absolutely delicious! We choose to have our rehearsal dinner at Joseph's since our ceremony was taking place there. My husband and I really wanted our guests to have fun at our wedding, especially when the wedding party goes off and has to take pictures. If you choose to have your wedding at their grove location, you have the option to use their small play ground (which is good if there are kids), a sand volleyball court, basketball court, putt putt, and horseshoes. We also brought some games of our own such as corn hole and kan jam. We got married 7/15/17 and haven't stopped getting feedback from our guests on how much they loved the venue and the food. I attended a wedding at Joseph's prior to ours so I have had the opportunity to experience this venue as a guest and as the bride. Both experiences had far exceeded all of my expectations.

The pictures online do not do this place justice. I recently had my wedding reception here, it is a BEAUTIFUL space. The perfect venue for a rustic wedding. Many people commented on how beautiful the space was. All you need is centerpieces. No need for futher decor. The food was amazing!!! And it was wonderful that the staff helped get food for myself and the groom. The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend Joseph's for any event. And the prices are very reasonable!!!

What an event! I couldn't have asked for anything more special. Joseph's helped with all of the details that I wouldn't have even thought of! They were my wedding planner, caterer, and vendor all in one. The food was delicious and we are still hearing compliments! We had an outdoor garden wedding and Rich and his team even opened the entryway doors while the music played for our big entrance! Couldn't have done it without them.

We had my daughters baby shower in the Meadows room which was beautifully lite from the ceiling with plenty of room for activities, socializing and eating. The food was delicious which we had the brunch with Ham done to perfection, crispy bacon fluffy omelettes, hash brown potato, french toast/syrup, salad, fresh fruit salad, rolls, danish. The staff was attentive to our needs with refilling the punch bowl and refilling coffee as needed, and cutting up our two cakes we brought. I would highly recommend this facility for showers, weddings or family gatherings

Recently my husband and I got married at Joseph's Country Manor in the Grove room. From the first meeting with Rich to the goodbye Saturday night everything was amazing. Rich, his wife Debbie and their staff were so attentive to what we wanted from the food to decorations. Especially when I tried going out to decorate after getting my makeup done, and Rich told me he had it all taken care of..and he did! We couldn't of asked for a better staff and beautiful venue to be married at. All the guests raved about the food especially the chicken piccata and the tortellini alfredo oh my goodness SO good! And their signature pink drink is so yummy. The guests enjoyed the games they could play during cocktail hour. It was all so much fun! We can't thank Rich and his staff enough for helping us have such a wonderful day! If you choose the Grove room or one of his other rooms to have your event in or even if you have them cater an event you're sure to get the best quality food and service!

Thankyou for reading! Mr&Mrs.Palm

We had a guest list of about 120 and Joseph's accommodated everyone and went above and beyond. The ceremony was like a fairytale and the event staff treated us like royalty! Everything was absolutely perfect. And a special thanks to Richard Joseph for driving us to our hotel when our limo broke down. Now that deserves a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! Fantastic venue and couldn't recommend Joseph's more!

We had our wedding in the beautiful Meadows room on october 17, 2015. Rich and Shelly made sure everything was set up perfect for our dream wedding! we had such a wonderful time! It looked so wonderful with all the fall accents! The food was absolutely superb! We heard nothing but good things, and are still getting compliments about how delicious the food was! The staff was great and quite accommodating. I wish we could do it all over again! Thank You Joseph's!!!!!

I wish I could give this more stars then 5. Not only were they the cheapest venue when we were looking for our dream location for our wedding but they were so accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. They always got back to us in a timely matter and made sure all questions were answered. Shelly the receptionist was amazing to work with and extremely nice and willing to help in any way. Rich was also one who went above and beyond with meeting with us during the week and making sure our outside vendors gave us good business. I like to call this venue a buffalo secret because not many of our guests knew about Josephs having a venue some only knew about the catering. We were able to pick from a large menu the food we loved and wanted. There were so many compliments about how good the food was and how they never had such enjoyable food at a wedding before, most people leave weddings hungry but everyone said they had the perfect amount of deliciousness. We were married in the meadows and had a buffet with carving station. The bar was very accommodating with choosing the booze and the bar tenders were amazing there was never a line waiting for the drinks! The scenery was beautiful and pictures turned out amazing! Again I cant thank everyone at Josephs for helping us with our perfect day! I would recommend anyone to have there wedding or any party there!

I had my wedding here over this past weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The service was wonderful and professional, food was amazing, and there were no problems. Leading up to the wedding, I had many conversations with Rich and Shelley and they always did their best to provide everything I needed. The staff at Joseph's helped give me a perfect wedding and I am so thankful! My guests raved all night about the excellent food, beautiful location (I chose The Meadows room for my reception, and had the ceremony outside in the flower garden), and all the fun they had well into the night. I would highly recommend Joseph's to any newly engaged couple looking for a place to get married.

My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at Joseph's Country Manor and Grove. We had the reception held in the Grove area, which allowed for a beautiful covered area for our guests to eat dinner and dance and an outdoor area where they could play games and enjoy being outside. From beginning to end, we could not have been happier with our choice. Anytime I had questions or concerns about the wedding reception, I was easily able to get in contact with Joseph's. There was always someone there to talk to me and answer my questions. During the wedding reception, the staff was so wonderful. They asked questions to ensure that our guests were happy and taken care of. In addition, the food was fantastic! All of our guests have told us how wonderful our wedding was, how beautiful the venue was, and how great the food was. My husband and I could not be more thankful and happy that we decided to go with Joseph's. We will definitely be coming back in the future!!!

We were very happy with every aspect of service from them. Everything was done with professionalism. The serving staff was courteous and stayed on top of things. And the food was fantastic. The strip steaks were done just right and were not overdone. I would use them again for certain.

Joseph's was such a beautiful venue for our reception. They were very easy to communicate with and fully dedicated themselves to making our wedding as memorable as possible. The food was beyond delicious (I wish I had leftovers!), their signature drink (frozen whiskey sours) were amazing, and the service was top notch. If I could get married all over again, I would chose Joseph's without a doubt. I highly recommend them!

We had our wedding at Joseph's and couldn't have been happier! The food was great, the room was decorated beautifully for Fall. Their prices were reasonable. Rich was very pleasant to work with and went above and beyond with our requests. The layout of the room was perfect for having almost 200 guests we were not cramped at all. Many of our guests were from Buffalo and had never been to Joseph's and they loved it too. The only thing I may recommend is 1 or 2 more bartenders, we had 2 total and I think it would have been better to have 3-4 behind the bar. Besides that everything was flawless. I would highly recommend.

The venue was perfect as we chose the Grove which provided inside and outside use. The food was magnificent as was the service. "No" was not in their vocabulary. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joseph's Catering to anyone looking for any type of an event.

Our experience with Joseph's was perfect from start to finish. As an out of state bride, whose also a perfectionist, I was very concerned about picking a reliable venue. Joseph's went above and beyond any expectation I could have ever set. Initially, we got into town very late on our first trip up to meet with Rich. Rich staying until past 9pm at night to meet with us- far beyond business hours. His meeting made me feel so comfortable. He laid everything out on the table, no hidden information/prices/or details. He made us a quote sheet that had all of our requests so I could easily see the break down and costs of everything. Once we decided to commit to Joseph's the planning process was effortless. Shelly responded very promptly to all of my calls and showed me kindness and patience while working through details. They give you flexibility with the planning that you never have to break a sweat. They all coordinated during planning and the day of to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. The space was beautiful--Their landscaping, decor, and cleanliness was remarkable. They were pruning and sprucing up the flower beds around the gazebo and gardens the day before our wedding! They bent over backwards to make sure everything looked the way I wanted. Our food was phenomenal I was thrilled at the quality of all our meal selections. We received nothing but compliments and positive feedback from all of our guests. I cannot recommend or speak enough praises about the Joseph's staff and service. They are a wonderful family owned business whose focused on making your day a dream come true- not cutting corners! They are a reputable, wonderful company and I am blessed to have found them. I can 100% recommend them for ANY event. I feel strongly that their food, prices, service, and communication will beat any other venue in the area. If considering Joseph's have no hesitation- get yourself in for a meeting and I know you will feel the same way I did.

Joseph's catering service and country manor was the best venue I have ever been to. Not only does it have a beautiful country feel but the food was nothing less than outstanding and the bartenders were out of this world amazing! Not to mention the wonderful Shelly who helps make the process as easy as possible! Being the bride I had so much adrenalin I couldn't feel a single drink I consumed the entire day. After mentioning that to the bartender he made sure to give me a drink with a little kick so I could loosen up more. It helped so much! The only issue ( if you can even call it that) that we came across was, upon arrival to the cocktail hour the table numbers were not put out for the guests. Our best man mentioned it to one of the staff and before you could blink your eyes they fixed it! Not one guests even noticed! My now husband needed coffee when we arrived and they did not hesitate to meet his needs. The day before our wedding our photographer cancelled. We informed Joseph's and they did everything in their power to help us find one. Though we did not use their photographer it was so comforting knowing they did everything they could as soon as they could. Oh! Let's not forget about the price! Joseph's is also the most affordable venue I've come across in buffalo, ny. They did not add random fees after giving us a quote, nor did they hesitate to add anything we asked for even after the finalization date!
If you want to make the wedding process as easy on yourself as possible, do yourself a favor and check out Joseph's. They also have more than one facility on the property for reception options as well as an area to have a ceremony! This is the only venue worth the money in buffalo. I guarantee it!

Joseph's was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have been any happier! No one had booked the outdoor area and we were able to take pictures out in the grove as well as at the basketball court. It was nice to have pictures taken at a basketball court since that was how my husband and I met. Rich communicated with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with everything and to make sure everything went according to our plans. We had white glove service to get our meals and we had a bartender who wanted to make sure we always were happy. I would recommend them for anything! Rich and his staff were remarkable from when we were looking at the facility to signing the contract, and throughout the entire process!!

Our experience with the Joseph's was exceptional. this was my second wedding, so I had previous experience - they were professional, worked with us on every detail and made the process as stress free as possible. It's been two weeks and our 160 guests are still raving about the venue, the service, the food, and the staff! They offered suggestions, but did not push - and were willing to go the extra mile to see that we had what we needed. The ceremony and reception was everything we hoped for and more - and that in great part was due to everyone at joseph's. we would highly recommend them!

We had our ceremony and reception at Joseph's Country Manor and Grove. Our ceremony was in the garden area, just outside the Meadow's room, and it was absolutely beautiful...no need to leave after the ceremony to take pictures somewhere else. Our pictures in the garden area are so beautiful! Everything was PERFECT. The Meadow's room is already decorated so pretty, that there is really no need to do much more. The dance floor is large and the table area is spacious, as well as the huge bar! We did a buffet for dinner and the food was SO delicious. The bartender took drink orders for the head table during dinner, which was awesome. Overall, Joseph's was easy to work with, very responsive, professional, and friendly. I definitely recommend Joseph's Catering to anyone looking for a perfect and affordable wedding day!

We used Joseph's Catering to cater our wedding at Woodlawn Beach State park. When we first met with Rich, we were impressed by his professionalism, his honesty, and his knowledge of wedding receptions.

Along the way, we ran into some problems with the Town of Hamburg and the operators of Woodlawn Beach. The liquor license was given to another banquet facility. We were able to keep Joseph's because we had an existing contract with them. Due to the change,we had to pay more per person (to the Town of Hamburg) and had to have a manager onsite from the other facility. A representative from Joseph's Catering called us and went over all the changes so we were sure to understand. They also sent us a letter detailing the changes.

We also had some miscommunication between Woodlawn Beach and Joseph's as to who would set up the reception. After much back and forth, Rich settled our worries and came in early the day of the wedding to personally make sure the reception was set up correctly. He also apologized to me in person for all of the miscommunication (although it was not their fault!)

We had a buffet style reception. The food was very good; we had many compliments from our wedding guests on how much they enjoyed the food. They had many options to choose from for the buffet, and everything we decided to have tasted hot and fresh. The buffet was also displayed beautifully, especially the fresh fruit salad and the salad bar.

Rich was a delight!
Once we finalized on our venue (Ellicott Square Building) we immediately contacted Joseph's Catering. As one of the preferred caterers for the venue, I knew I wanted to work with a caterer who was familiar with the space - this is critical in events! Joseph's had also catered one of my sister's weddings 12 years ago so we knew we would be in good hands. My fiance (now husband) and I reached out to Rich and were pleasantly surprised on how responsive and accommodating he was. He was eager to create a unique and custom menu for us which met all of our expectations. We held a stations style reception for our wedding with 3 different main stations. He was extremely willing to take all of our menu suggestions and incorporate them.
We had rave reviews about the food - not only the taste but the selection and options available. With an assortment of passed and stationary items during cocktail hour - 3 stations (salad, pasta and carving) a desert station (by Buffalo Cakery) and a late night nacho station - our guests never went hungry.
I would HIGHLY recommend Joseph's for any event catering needs. Rich was a delight to work with and he made everything so easy!
Thank you again!

I have nothing but praise for this vendor. The service was great and the food was phenomenal. Guests have come up to me telling me it was the best wedding and best food they have ever had. I definitely recommend this as a reception site.

I just love Josephs. Over the years I have attended several weddings here and also my 2 proms. They are great to work with. The hall is beautiful and has many great places to get pictures. The best part, their food! It's delicious to say the least!

We had our wedding at Connecticut Street Armory and had Joseph’s do the catering. After meeting with a few caterers, we were instantly impressed with Joseph’s because of their great value, their friendliness, and their flexibility to offer what we wanted. The venue did not provide tables/chairs/linens, so Joseph’s handled the rentals and setting it all up. That was a huge relief and helped substantially. Considering there was no refrigeration or kitchen on site, I was nervous about the food quality. But, there was no reason to worry – everything was delicious and we received lots of compliments. I would highly recommend Joseph’s for offsite catering and think they are amazing!

Great all around! We got married in the gazebo and had an all-day reception in the covered patio area. The staff was amazing, helpful, & organized. The grounds with volleyball, mini-golf, horseshoes & more were so much fun. The food was great & all of our guests said they loved our wedding!

The food was amazing! I keep hearing after the wedding how much our guests loved the food. Josephs make you feel so special during your wedding. We choose a buffet style and they actually come up to the buffet with the bride and groom and make their plates for them. It was such a nice touch and I didnt have to worry about falling with my food in my dress!

Joseph's Catering catered my wedding in my backyard on Sept. 4. They set themselves up, served a wonderful, hot dinner and left behind no trace of being there! (except for the full bellies and compliments from my guests) They responded to all my questions and concerns immediately. Starting with Rich Joseph for the planning, David Joseph at my home working, Tom prepping the food, the wait staff and set up crew, I highly recommend Joseph's Catering. Everyone was so nice!

We had a reception for my daugher's wedding in Aug. 2012. The food was very good. I was especially impressed when I asked a server if she could bring out a dinner for a couple that came to the reception late because their car broke down. This was after they had cleared away the food. This kind gesture certainly made this couple feel welcomed at the reception. I also liked meeting with Richard Joseph who took the extra time with us to explain options and therefore helped us in making a decision on getting the best possible value.

Micro-wedding was everything we wanted

My wife and I had our Micro-Wedding there. Debbie and Rich were super helpful throughout the entire experience. After our original venue canceled our reservation on very short notice, they worked really hard at Joseph's to get us the date we wanted, and work out all of the details we requested, and they were very responsive and flexible with everything. With the pandemic making everything seem impossible, they really made our wedding amazing, and we would recommend them (especially their micro-wedding services) to anyone.

The staff at Joseph's is terrific. They are patient, understanding and enjoyable. Our reception was held in the grove portion of their grounds and was just perfect! Our guests enjoyed volleyball, mini-golf, basketball as well as mingling, chatting and dancing in the pavillion area! They were accomodating to my menu requests and the food was spectacular and plentiful. There was truly not one single flaw in my entire reception and i'm very grateful to Joseph's professionalism and very, very pleasant staff for that!

From the moment we met with Joseph's Catering, they made us feel like the vision we had for our wedding was not only attainable but was within our budget. They were honest, caring, and made sure that our wedding turned out better than we could have ever imagined. They were open to our suggestions but provided us honest, trustworthy feedback. Our guests RAVED about the food and bar service! We had a buffet with 285 people. Everyone had their food within 15 minutes and many went up for seconds because the food was so good! We also rented table and chairs through Joseph's which worked out great. They were able to set up the day before which helped with all other decorations and logistics on the day of the wedding.

I used Joseph's catering service for my off-site wedding reception in June 2010.

I was very pleased with Richard's responsiveness and helpfulness during the planning and pre-wedding process. They had a lot of options to choose from-and were helpful in terms of streamlining our selection process (for example: including our table/tent rentals with the food bill through a partner vendor). They were knowledgable about everything I asked. Rich always made himself available to answer any questions, which gave me a real peace of mind.

Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, we ran into some pretty serious hiccups: First, the staff didn't arrive nearly early enough to give themselves time to get set up. Fortunately, my brother-in-law (who works in catering) rounded up the troops (my bridal party) and was able to get things like my cake table, gift table, placeholder table, up and running. Second, the staff arrived with NO wine or champagne. Both items were included in my contract, confirmed just the day prior, AND paid for in full. They ended up using my grandmother's private wine supply (which they reimbursed her a very small sum for). They purchased champagne at a local shop at the last minute...not giving them enough time to serve it into my guest's champagne flutes for the toast but rather just plopping it in the center of each table. Fortunately, my family and friends sorted these things out and I wasn't even aware of them until I returned from my honeymoon and they told me.

Other than those significant issues, the food was great!! Probably the best buffet meal I've ever had-beautiful presentation and so yummy. The catering staff were very friendly and attentive, as well.

In sum, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this catering service for an off-site wedding reception...I get the impression that they're much better at doing things on their premise and these issues I dealt with wouldn't have occured had we used their venue.

I picked Joseph's because of their prices, their reviews which all said that they went above and beyond, and my initial conversation with the owner. The pictures do not do the Meadows room justice, and it looked absolutely perfect on my wedding day. Once I was booked and my deposit was in, I found that they lacked professionalism and tact. I was treated condescendingly for asking about different options and ways to save money, because my fiancé and I paid for the wedding entirely on our own and had a huge amount of family coming. Things that I was initially told would be no problem were later denied to ever have been said, and they made me feel like my every request as a paying customer was a huge favor that they were doing to me. That being said, all of my guests loved the dinner and the atmosphere at Joseph's, and the food was amazing.
