I have 4 daughters. My oldest daughter got married on September 3rd 2023. She had her sisters plan…read moreher wedding and even pick the venue, which was to be a surprise to her, on the day of the wedding. I had suggested to the girls to choose Buducci's, on the recommendation of a friend. This wound up being a HUGE mistake! We met with Vincenne last year, to discuss pricing and other details. She gave us a price and said that if we booked at that time, we would be locked in at that price, so after some phone tag and some time passing because she was out of town, she was provided a deposit and we booked. She also said if there was no event going on the day before, that we could decorate a day ahead. As we got closer to the date of the wedding, we contacted her. We were told that the price had gone up. The girls just let that go, even though we were supposed to be "locked in", and attributed it to covid, and seemingly everything costing more now. She said that there wasn't an event the day before the wedding but that she would not be in town so we couldn't decorate the day before. Since we would be decorating the day of, we asked if we could have the girls get ready there, that way we would save time and do it all at once. She agreed until A FEW DAYS before the wedding, she informed my girls that we could decorate the day before because she made arrangements to "accommodate us." Great! But we still needed to get ready there because we had our timeline situated and it didn't account for transportation and we told the photographer, hair and makeup we'd be doing it there. When we verified we would still be getting ready there, she said no, she ASSUMED that meant we'd be getting ready at home. This was because Vincenne was now attending another wedding the day before and, while she kept insisting she was accommodating us, it became clear she was trying to accommodate no one but herself. No one would be there to let us in. When my daughter told Vincenne that this would be a huge inconvenience, since everything had already been planned, she got quite snippy with my daughter on the phone, telling her she hadn't even spoken to the bride yet, and hadn't received a check yet. My daughter reminded her, that this was a surprise for the bride, and also told her that she would be willing to bring her a check right then and there, if she would only give her an exact TOTAL, which she had not given as of yet. Then Vincenne said just give it to her on the day of the wedding. When my daughter spoke to her again, she said we could get ready the day of, at a business that is right next door to the venue, but made sure that she complained to my daughter that it would be a huge inconvenience for the owner of that business for us to use the space. She then also said that we could in fact decorate the day before, but she would have to pay someone to be there while we did so. Who cares!! Don't go back in your word and then complain when you have to somehow accommodate!! Then, here we are, the day of the wedding. We had the venue until 11:00 p.m. but at 8:30 there is Vincenne, taking down tables in the corner, suddenly the bright lights go on, making it look to our guests like it's time to "close up shop!" The open bar time frame had just ended and it switched to a cash bar. Well we had 3 people standing in line to get drinks while Vincenne had the bartender taking down our dessert table, so there was no bartender!!!! Our guests just went and sat down without getting a drink. In our videos of our family on the dance floor, we have Vincenne rolling her cart in the middle of the video collecting things off the tables. I would not recommend this venue to my worst enemy!! In my 67 years, I have NEVER come across anyone running a business, that was so unprofessional, rude and ignorant!! I had read a few reviews saying that she had unexpectedly shut down events and made people leave. But since we saw more good reviews than bad, and it being recommended by a friend, we decided to go with this venue. Like I said ... HUGE mistake!!! Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place!

Toy bro's was one of the recommendations from Avanti Mansion. We had them for our ceremony, reception, and also booked their Photo Booth. They made sure the processional music went smoothly, and started playing the songs at the exact time I asked them to. During the reception, they played songs our guests didn't really know - but that's more my fault of not being more specific of the crowd/demographic's taste in music during the week before consultation. Tip for those still planning your weddings: give genres and SPECIFIC artists you want the DJ to play throughout the night! The absolute highlight of everyone's night was the Photo Booth, which was manned by Jeff's dad, Chris (?? It was loud and hard to hear - sorry if I got his name wrong!). He was so sweet giving us ideas on how to pose for the different shots, made sure everyone got a copy of photos, put together the ENTIRE scrapbook for us, AND made sure everyone signed/write a message for us. The scrapbook was we filled from front to back with messages and photos, and it's something we will cherish and look back on for the rest of our lives. As a couple not from Buffalo, Toy Bros were super easy to work and communicate with even without being in person.

Yesterday evening, I was looking forward to spending a lovely time with family while enjoying a…read morebeautiful dinner at The Terrace, part of the Marcy Casino complex. In attempting to do this, I was breaking with tradition, as I routinely gather with family and friends at the Curtiss Hotel or The Richardson Hotel, ...being accustomed to their consistently phenomenal customer service. You can hardly imagine my disappointment and embarrassment with the treatment my guests and I received from the host/receptionist at The Terrace. From the moment we entered the venue, we were dismissed as vagabonds, even though we were elegantly dressed. My family, and I, accomplished purveyors of the arts, haute cuisine, and world travelers, had found ourselves brutally insulted and our value as guests to the venue, diminished by the arrogance and classless attitude presented when we requested to be seated for dinner. By the way, the place was nowhere near capacity in reference to already seated guests... in fact, it was pretty empty. We were told it was requisite that we needed to make on-line reservations in order to be seated and served at a table... no exceptions! An empathetic waiter and waitress, overhearing our predicament, tried coming to our rescue and suggested we may consider being seated at the bar. We were told the menu was the same whether we were at the bar or a table. When this waiter and waitress kindly tried to accommodate us with the suggestion to consider sitting at the bar, the host met their eyes with a glance of total defiance. We were so uncomfortable at the prospect of continuing to manage sitting at the bar, with only one table available for four people, coupled with that the discernible feeling of not being wanted at the venue overcame us. So, we proceeded to default to one of our usual venues, where class, accommodation and elegance always reigns, that being the Richardson. We will never risk giving that host at the Terrace the opportunity to show such disrespect to us again! I hope this review has others considering an alternate establishment that maintains the dignity of their visitors rather than disrespecting and disregarding it!

This is a gorgeous space for weddings, parties and a variety of events. This review is from the point of view of an attendee and not a renter (I've never rented this space before), so keep that in mind. The building is setup with multiple floors and is split into multiple rooms which are basically super comfy lounges. There are fireplaces and a gorgeous deck on the top floor that overlooks Hoyt Lake. There are multiple bathrooms as well as open spaces where a DJ and a dance floor can be setup. Whether you're looking to host Buffalo's next big party or are looking for a personal venue for a wedding reception, The Marcy Casino is definitely a space you should explore! It's beautiful.

Syrie is responsive to emails and texts, has an unwavering sense of professionalism (even when faced with difficult family members), builds off of any and all creative ideas, and delivers a final product that will make your heart stop. She had the perfect balance of listening to and acting on all of our ideas, but also knowing when to tell us that something may not work, and that is so needed in wedding planning. She is also very well respected in Buffalo by all of the vendors - every time a vendor knew we were working with Syrie they all responded with a similar "oh, your wedding will be great because you have Syrie on your side." On top of it all, she is just an absolute pleasure to work with - she is funny, witty, and so personable. Our pandemic wedding was only possible because of her. If you have the good fortune of being able to work with Syrie, you'd be crazy not to.

Not bad. Just nothing special. What always stands out here is the service. Today we asked one of the servers, jeff, if the coffee was ready yet. He said no but then reappeared a couple minutes later with a fresh pot from the kitchen. He reacted the same when someone mentioned (jokingly) they wished they had a mug rather than a cup he appeared again with a mug! This while also trying to set up service for about 20 other tables. Thank you Jeff for going above and beyond! Makes such a difference in a dining experience especially when the food was average. Too busy catching up with friends, forgot pictures! 2023-27
