Amanda Sent on 06/24/2024Best day ever-june 8th, 2024
Our wedding day was so magical thanks to the Columns. The food was incredible from the appetizers, to the full course dinner, to the late night Buffalo station. Jessica & her team really CARE about making your day special and are there every step of the way. They are so kind, professional, and amazing to work with. People have been raving about our wedding for weeks now! The outdoor cocktail area is beautiful and the inside venue transitions into a classy reception room. We loved all of the details of our special day and Columns did amazing at making it all come together! Thank you again! Please see our attached photos! -

The Columns is by far the most superior wedding venue in Western New York. The managers and all of the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams. They pay attention to every detail and never miss a beat.
The food was the best wedding food I've ever had and my guests are STILL raving about it!
The ceremony space is beyond gorgeous and I can't wait to see the stunning pictures from the garden in the courtyard.
I cannot recommend the Columns enough to everyone. It is insane how much value you get for the price. Thank you for giving me the wedding of my dreams! -

Brianna Sent on 09/30/2024Amazing!!!!!
Where do I even begin. Our wedding was September 28th 2024 and it was the most incredible experience working with The Columns. From the super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff members, to the most beautiful venue, and to top it off the best wedding food we've ever had! Jessica was amazing helping us out all along the process, and Sam did a fantastic job making our vision come to life! As well as keeping the night running smoothly and making sure everything was perfect. Without them we don't know what we would have done. A side from that, the rest of the staff members, bar tenders, and servers, everyone was such a delight to work with. The Columns was an absolutely breathtaking venue that was well within our budget for the amenities you get in return. We were amazed at all you receive with the packages they offered. Seriously cannot recommend them enough! If you're looking for a beautiful, elegant venue, DELICIOUS food, the best staff members, and the most beautiful wedding you could imagine, look no further! Thank you again for helping us make our wedding the most incredible experience! -

Patricia Sent on 08/16/2024The Columns Wedding Experience
This was our third and last child to get married so we are very experienced with the process. The Columns is by far the very best venue we have ever dealt with. They are accommodating, flexible and extremely helpful. Their food selections are numerous and delicious. The Columns offers both indoor and outdoor wedding photo areas that are elegant and beautiful. We had rain on our wedding day so many of our pictures were taken indoors and look beautiful, but when the rain stopped, we took additional pictures outdoors to take advantage of their pristine landscape. Our guests commented that it was the best meal and wedding venue they have ever been at. And we agreed! We were extremely satisfied with the professionalism of all the staff members. A special recognition to Jessica and Jamie who made our experience with The Columns so wonderful. Thank you! Dennis and Patricia August 3, 2024 Wedding. -

As soon as we saw the venue we knew it was the place for us to get married! Jessica was helpful from the very start, any email or phone call was always returned in a timely manner. The day of the wedding was more than I could have ever imagined! Jessica and her team were AMAZING! Any question we had or request it was taken care of immediately! The grounds were stunning! The cocktail hour outside was stunning! My family and friends loved the hand passed hors d’oeuvres and bar being outside. We moved inside for the dinner and reception and the food was AMAZING! We had multiple guest asking for to go boxes for the steak! It was so good! They are still talking about it! The room looked amazing! Overall I highly recommend that you have your wedding here, Jessica and her team will make your day go as smooth as possible! I want to relieve the day!!! Thank you The Columns team! The wedding was amazing! The wedding of my dreams! -

We are a couple in our 60's, and it was the bride's first wedding. We had a crowd of 140 guests, mostly professional colleagues and friends. Everyone complimented us on the professionalism of the staff, the servers, and the food. The banquet manager was extremely helpful in the planning phase with helpful insights, and on the day of the wedding helping with keeping things moving along smoothly. We had a maitre'd who was available the entire evening to assist with everything related to the food and beverage service. This beautiful venue was perfect for our outdoor ceremony and cocktails before dinner. We then continued the party with live music, dinner, and dancing until midnight. Weeks later people are still talking about our wedding as a night to remember. It was the wedding of our dreams! -

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. -

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!!! -

Kaitlyn Sent on 10/11/2020Can'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! -

Ashley Sent on 05/29/2019Perfect 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! -

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. -
Katie Sent on 10/09/2017Heidi 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!
