    Perfect wedding day!

    The columns banquets was the perfect venue choice for our reception. The staff was absolutely amazing helping us to set up decorations and making the room look magical. The food was delicious and we had guests saying it was the best wedding meal they’re ever had. Jess, the banquet manager took the time to meet with us multiple times before the big day to ensure we got everything we needed and she was there for our special day and made sure everything ran smoothly! Our wedding was a truly unforgettable day and it wouldn’t have been made possible without their help.

    Effortless

    The Columns Banquets was by far the best banquet experience I have ever had! They are extremely professional, went above and beyond on my requests and I felt like the took good care of me and my husband but also my guests. The food was excellent, the ambiance top notch, and the price very fair for all the accommodations. I would recommend it to any one! Hopefully, we get to use them again on future events and celebrations!

    5 star service all around

    The columns is your place to book, my husband and I got married 9.15.23 and from beginning to end we had an amazing experience. Jessica was our coordinator I cannot say enough about her she made sure our vision came to life and she was so knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. Although we worked with Jessica we also worked with a number of staff who were also incredible. When I say 5 star service it really is, all my guests had so many great things to say from
    the service to the food to the beauty of the venue! I wish I could live my day all over again, the columns truly is a dream venue!

    Outstanding

    I can't rave enough about The Columns.
    We are beyond happy we decided to book them for our wedding venue. So communicative, attentive, accommodating & the packages to choose from are reasonably priced! Everything you can imagine for a wedding is included or you are able to add on! I had no worries leading up to the day or day of as Jessica was SO easy to work with & made sure everything was perfect. The staff set up and took down decor I provided. The staff was ON POINT when it came to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of between drinks, food or anything we needed all night. Jade the coordinator was amazing, she brought platters of drinks and appetizers to the wedding party as we took pictures for cocktail hour.
    The grounds are so beautiful, you don't even need to add your own flowers or decor. truly a 12 out of 5 star experience.
    Thank you Jessica, Jade & all staff!!!

    10/10 Recommend

    Our wedding at The Columns was perfect. Jessica and her staff went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we dreamed of. The food at The Columns is one of the main reasons we booked the venue. Everything was delicious. The grounds are absolutely stunning for ceremony and pictures.

    Perfect Day

    Jessica and team at the columns are incredible. Every detail was executed perfectly and they took all the stress of decorating/timing off of our hands! I couldn’t recommend them more.

    Can't recommend them enough

    I had my bridal shower at The Columns yesterday and it was perfect. The staff was so accommodating with needing to postpone twice during COVID. They were always so responsive and empathetic to a difficult situation.

    When we arrived the room was already set up exactly as I had requested and the staff was so attentive to me and my guests throughout the event. The food was also delicious. They even boxed up some food for my fiancé to take home when he arrived at the end to help take our gifts home.

    I can't say enough good things about The Columns and would highly recommend them for an event as small as a 15 person party or as big as a wedding.

    Bridal Shower

    I had my bridal shower at The Columns in August 2020 during covid, and I cannot say enough good things about them! Originally, they had the best shower package we could find in the area (coming from an event planner). It included so much including mimosa and punch, gorgeous centerpieces, and more! When covid came, we had no idea if we would even be able to host the shower. The Columns was helpful throughout the entire time and dealt with everything better than we could have imagined. They ultimately said no matter what we wanted to do was fine even if we wanted to cancel and get our money back. They put us in a larger room, spread the tables out how we wanted, and more! People are still raving about the food and how it was one of the most beautiful venues they've seen, and a few of my guests even said they want to get married there one day! Thank you so much for everything you guys did for us and made this stressful time that much easier. I'll recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for any type of event venue!

    Perfect Venue!!!

    The best decision I made! First, the place is stunning! From the gorgeous interior to the beautiful backyard patio! We were fortunate to have cocktail hour outside where our guests could take photos outside on the patio. Second, their banquet manager Heidi and her team were extremely easy to work with and gave extraordinary service! I received so much feedback from our guest that the service was incredible! The food was brought out in a timely manner from the most polite servers! Third, the food is amazing! They offered a variety of options for menus and everything tasted incredible leaving it hard to chose which would make the final cut. We had the perfect experience with The Columns and I highly recommend to any couple for their reception venue!

    Beautiful Winter Wonderland

    Heidi with the Cloumns was great to work with. I called and messaged her all the way up to the wedding and she always answered promptly. The venue looked beautiful they left their winter decorations up! It was a winter wonderland, without being Christmasy. Everyone loved the food. They even did me a favor and served my dads slice of cake with a candle for his birthday.

    Insanely happy we chose The Columns for our reception!

    We had a nightmare of a time choosing a wedding reception venue, but once we found The Columns, everything was perfect. Heidi, Candace, and the whole team were so helpful/responsive from start to finish, and we had guests coming up to us during our reception/still have people coming up to us now saying that they felt like they were the ones getting married because the staff was so attentive. The food was amazing, the lobby served as a perfect last-minute backdrop for bridal party pics (the weather on our wedding day was gross!), the ballroom space is absolutely gorgeous, and everything comes at a fantastic value. We can't recommend The Columns enough!

    Heidi and the team at the Columns are amazing. They take care of every little detail. The grounds and building is beautiful and well kept from the reception rooms to the bathrooms. Every room is very elegant and tastefully decorated. They provide a locked bridal suite for the bride and her party. I had no worries about the safety of my belongings.

    The staff is so helpful and polite. Heidi is the best, she is just on top of everything and handles any issue quickly and professionally. We were even upgraded for no charge to the east ballroom with the huge windows when there were no other events scheduled on our wedding day. The food is absolutely excellent! Every dish is cooked perfectly and I have gotten nothing but compliments from all my guests.

    We had our daughter's reception (May 27, 2018) and everything was perfect. We had 350 guests so we were concerned about the timing of getting food served and the bar backing up but the staff was spot on. Definitely had the staff to handle it and they were all amazing. We received so many compliments on everything about the venue. Heidi was such a pleasure to work with! We were so pleased and could not have asked for anything more!!!

    Just had a wedding last week (March 31, 2018) for our daughter and it was just perfect. Heidi and her staff were great! Everything was taken care of from the minute we arrived. They are very organized and attentive to whatever you need. The wedding took place right there and reception followed immediately after. Cocktails from 5-6 and then dinner. The food was very good , I think everyone had enough to drink and they put out coffee and desserts later on. Our decorations were set up on the tables just the way my daughter wanted. The servers were efficient (white gloves) and polite. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day experience. I had been to the Columns for a few banquets before but never for a wedding. They truly go the extra mile for you. I would highly recommend them.

    I am the proud father of the Beautiful Bride! On October 20, 2017, my daughter Melanie married Eric Zenicki and the reception was held at The Columns Banquet room. Many months went into the planning of her special day, and "Special" it became! The day before the wedding, we took all the decorations, centerpieces, etc., to the Columns where we met with Heidi Conschafter and Candice. We had explained to them how we wanted everything set up. I even gave them pictures along with instructions for setting up various displays. When we arrived at the Columns the next day, about 45 minutes before the start of the reception, my wife and I were "Absolutely Amazed" at how "Everything" was in place just as we requested it to be! Every centerpiece, which was a decorated lantern that was set on top of a 12" x 2" round wood slab, was placed perfectly centered on each of the 16 tables! They even made sure that each battery candle in each lantern was turned on! Our seating label display consisted of 85 small pumpkins and labels with the Guest name and table number tied to each stem. Each guest would take the pumpkin with their name on it, as a favor, and proceed to their assigned table. The Columns staff placed the pumpkins on the display shelves in alphabetical order for an easier find! Every guest made it a point to let my wife and I know just how "Absolutely Beautiful" everything was! The food was "Absolutely Delicious" and the service was "Over the Top Outstanding"! To Heidi, Candice and the entire Columns staff, we Thank You again for your Extreme Professionalism in making Melanie and Eric's Special Day a Most Memorable One! ... Sincerely, Bob (and Cheryl) Schmitt

    From start to finish, Heidi and her team at the Columns were absolutely wonderful for our wedding day! They were always very easy to get ahold of, everything went absolutely perfectly the day of, and we are still receiving compliments on the food and atmosphere. The facility itself is gorgeous and was perfect for the elegant/ classic wedding style we were going for. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Heidi was great to work with. We got married 9-16-17 everything went smoothly. food was AMAZING, we did the split dinner of filet and chicken casino. We got introduced during cocktail hour on the patio which was fun, then we got to take some group pictures with the fountain and gardens. We were in the Dorian room with 85 people, I thought this was the perfect size, the dance floor wasn't overwhelmingly large and awkward, just right! I highly recommend the Columns to anyone looking for a venue. We looked at 10+ venues and the Columns had the best bang for your buck and was a more cozy feel than some of the larger venues. The only downside is that there aren't hotels right near by, but Uber and Lift work great too!

    Heidi and her team went above and beyond to make my daughters wedding reception perfect. The servers were profession and courteous. We had a sit down dinner every plate served was piping hot (187 plates) and the food was Delicious . The ballroom and courtyard were amazingly beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone!

    The Columns is THE best venue in WNY in my opinion! We looked at so many places before we picked the Columns for our wedding and we don't regret anything! Working with Heidi, Candace, and Ron from day 1 was stress free and they do an amazing job! We didn't worry about anything one bit throughout the whole wedding planning and on our special day. They are very organized, very professional, and so nice! They really help make your dream wedding a reality! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the set up of everything is perfect, and the patio is definitely a plus! The fire pits were a huge hit with our guests. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing all of the food was---literally the BEST banquet food I have ever had. All of our guests agreed and raved about it all night. Our serving staff was amazing and very attentive. I don't have any complaints about The Columns! I'd have any event there again in a heartbeat!
