    Hello there. After taking some time to reflect on this past weekend and trying to put my emotions…read moreto the side, I wanted to write to tell you about our experience with 500 Pearl. From the time we had signed our contract with AnnMarie Taft then Dianne the wedding was over we have had nothing but issues and hurdles to overcome. I have written bullet points to write out our struggles. Beginning with Annmarie Taft Got us to sign after pressuring us to pick a day saying that the days are filling up then disappeared Turns out she left-No one told us even after multiple emails I had to finally call the venue after months of trying to contact and then they told us she was no longer our coordinator then we were paired with Dianne after meeting with Dianne, things Annmarie promised could not be followed through on such as gold chairs per Dianne Working with Dianne Unorganized and unavailable Before Wedding Kept mixing us up with the other couple getting married Asked us what we want on marquee sign which was for the other wedding Kept forgetting details we have already discussed with her via email and in person After multiple errors during emails i sent a neurotic itinerary/day diagram of every little detail and she (in email) messed up table arrangements placing my parents in the back of the room we have also had multiple in person meeting that she came completely unprepared for and met us with a blank stare Rehearsal dinner Officiant had to take over running through the ceremony because Dianne kept messing up the order and did not know how it should go was asked multiple times this night by myself, my party and my officiant if the wxyz bar would be quiet for our ceremony and was met with "oh absolutely!" waited three hours (until 1130 pm) to get extra pillows and blankets for the bridesmaids Walked into our rooms multiple times without knocking Day of the wedding Woke up to realize that neither the upstairs shower in the girls room or the downstairs shower in the guys had hot water so didn't have enough time to shower before events Couldn't find our decorations or cookies although they were dropped off that day, had multiple excuses Couldn't find the 3" candles I had brought in and put in the storage room she told me to put them in Told us she couldn't help us day of wedding because she was giving a tour unable to get into conference holding room (Iocked) to grab our stuff after first look, Dianne nowhere to be found front desk unable to unlock due to not having keys to unlock it for us and didn't call anyone to help (left without our stuff) After first look Dianne sent bridesmaids to the limo, did not relay to groomsmen, did not relay to groom and I all waiting in the lobby looking for bridesmaids/ Dianne nowhere to be found, front desk had no idea where dianne had the limo park. Groomsmen running around looking for limo couldn't find dianne delaying us for photos Nowhere to be found when needing coordinating she needs an assistant and a headset so she can communicate with all areas. There should be NO calling the front desk to find her Ceremony in the exchange room: told us that the bar would be closed . The curtain would be drawn to the ceremony room to make the big entrance and shut when the ceremony went on-didn't happen . It was so noisy at the bar no one could hear our vows. Very sad and unprofessional. it was extraordinarily loud and so embarrassing my officiant wanted to stop the ceremony Due to the noise volume during the ceremony she told me she'd give me a mimosa bar for breakfast knowing that I'm expecting a child and can't drink We were told there would be staff in the lobby and at the elevator to guide our guests to the ceremony and guide our guests to cocktail hour by Ann Marie and Dianne. There was a small sign that we noticed when touring with Ann Marie in the lobby stating there was a wedding. No sign for us, no ushers for us. The groom and I had to go around to our guests to help them get to cocktail hour When our elderly family members who walk with a cane asked for directions for the ceremony. The front desk told them the stairs are "right there." Placed seating chart on wrong side of the room Messed up head table seating (i fixed during cocktail hour) Locked the keys to our cardbox inside the box Gave us no walkway to enter the reception Desserts were put out during cocktail hour instead of after dinner. My mother in law had to hunt her down and her answer is we always put them out now. since when is a dessert table placed out BEFORE dinner Our cake sat out the entire night. Before leaving the venue I had to ask multiple times for them to wrap up our cake and put it in the fridge (buttercream frosting needs to be refrigerated) was told "we'll get to it" The cherry on top Promised us an interior suite for the night of the wedding and put it under my sister and her boyfriend's name instead, My now husband and I ended in a regular room. i highly regret choosing 500 for my venue

    I stayed at the Westin Buffalo for a work trip and was extremely pleased! The hotel is beautiful,…read moreand the room was large and very clean. The location was central to everywhere I needed to be for work. I asked the front desk staff for advice for nearby places to eat and they were helpful. I didn't get a chance to check out the hotel's restaurant but I did spend some time working in Jake's, the lobby coffee shop. The service was great and the employees helped me figure out the best WiFi so my Zoom session went well. Both check in and check out were smooth with staff taking care of any issues that came up. I'd definitely plan to stay here if in the area again!

    Wonderful so far!! Check in was nice and the hotel is very nice. We have a King jr suite and it is…read morespacious. My only complaint is that we have our 9 month old puppy and they have no green space for a dog to go out. We walked down to the Embassy Suites ( a block) and they have a wonderful lawn area. Otherwise there really is nothing for a dog to go out and that is not ideal , especially in the middle of the night, it of course is not safe nor do you want to be in the city center with a puppy at 1:00am. There is a courtyard with a green space for dogs but we were told dogs couldn't go in. We are here for a few nights so we will see how it does. Update- because of the lack of area for any dogs I highly recommend going to the Embassy a few blocks down. We are leaving a day early because of this.
