“We had our son’s wedding at Villa Banquet Center and honestly couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. The hall was super clean and the decorations were great,, the waitresses were amazing, and the whole night went very smoothly. Zack, the owner, and Nora, the manager, were both wonderful to work with from beginning to end. They were easy to reach, accommodating, and really helped make the day feel special and stress free for our family. We’re very grateful and would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning a wedding or event.”

“Wow...we have nothing but GREAT things to say about Avanti. If you're looking for a venue that includes food, bar, desserts, and decor all in one place, Avanti is a venue to highly consider. They're transparent about their pricing and although the initial price tag can seem startling, the price you pay is very comparable to other venues when all is said and done. Our coordinator, Raquel, was our rock throughout the entire planning process. The whole Avanti team was very responsive to our inquiries, and we didn't have to lift a finger the day of our wedding. Our guests have also not stopped raving about the food, drinks, and quality of service. It was the best venue we could've asked for!”

“A beautifully renovated old church turned music hall by Ani DiFranco. I have seen everything from alternative country and rock to Americana, jam bands and jazz. The acoustics are excellent. They have a bar on the first floor near the stage and in the basement. I've seen some of my favorite bands there over the years and tickets are usually very reasonable. Parking is ample. Just wish the seats were more comfortable. A lovely place to see a show of any kind.”

“This venue is really amazing! My daughter had her wedding there and the ceremony and the dinner all took place in this wonderful grand hall. After the ceremony took place there was plenty of room for dancing and a DJ. The guests then ate at the tables along the sides, and in the pictures you can see the adjoining room had a terrific bar where the deserts were served.”

“Got married last week 9/13/25 at Kotecki’s! We had our entire wedding outdoors and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. I’ve always wanted to have my wedding outdoors and there’s truly no better place to do it! Kate and her team went above and beyond to make my vision a reality, and were constantly checking on us through out the night to make sure we were good and had drinks! Also made sure everything was happening on track with our schedule which I really appreciated. Food was great too! I wish I could relive it all over again. Get married at Kotecki’s you won’t regret it! Great family business!”

“We had our wedding celebration here. We were looking for a venue that wasn't too expensive or inclusive, because we wanted to save money where we could. Many of the venues we looked at wanted venue fees plus a food and beverage package, or choose from a list of caterers they work with. Dnipro was far and away the most accommodating venue we came across.

We rented the hall and adjoining lounge upstairs, and they staffed the bar and had someone working the door for us. They allowed us to bring our own snacks and get pizza delivered halfway through the party. They let us bring in a large screen TV so we could show the Sabres play Game 6 on two TVs. We asked for a cash bar, and the bartenders worked their tails off to make sure our 150+ crowd always had drinks. With an event this big, you expect something to go wrong.... But nothing did. Every one of our guests had a blast, and many commented on how beautiful the venue was. You can tell the staff there genuinely care about the space and the organization, and they treated us with so much love and care. We could not have asked for a better venue, it was exactly what we were looking for.

If you're looking for an event space, we cannot recommend Dnipro enough. On top of the incredible hospitality, your funds go to a great organization run by genuinely lovely people, and you're supporting an important cause.

Thank you to Lukia, Adia, Stefan and everyone else who helped us with our party, you made our special night so memorable and meaningful ??”

“My family went here to attend a special award ceremony from the City of Buffalo Firefighters.

The convention center was very clean and the food was excellent.

My only wish is that the main entrance was cut off due to street or building construction. Made it hard to drop off and pickup family members who have limited mobility.

Otherwise we enjoyed our visit.”

“Had an awesome night with coworkers after a Bisons game downtown, -- just a short walk from the ballpark. Austin was a fantastic host who made us feel like we owned the place.

This spot is perfect for playing games, watching sports, and kicking back with drinks in a casual atmosphere. We played golf for hours, had drinks and even played our own music. The price is unbeatable for everything they offer.

Whether it’s a work happy hour, birthday, or just a random night out, book this place. You won’t regret it.”

Appetizers were fresh plentiful & interesting variety. Wait staff walked around with different appetizers. Tables full of cheese crackers fresh fruits perfectly arranged and very tasty.

“Celebration of Life Lunch – A Beautiful Tribute and Thoughtful Experience

The Celebration of Life lunch was a truly moving and well-orchestrated gathering. From the moment guests arrived, the beauty of the space set the tone. The venue was warm, elegant, and welcoming—with natural light, tasteful decor, and a peaceful atmosphere that created a perfect backdrop for honoring a cherished life.

The buffet lunch was exceptional. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with a generous variety that accommodated all preferences and dietary needs. Everything—from the fresh salads to the comforting main dishes and thoughtful desserts—was clearly prepared with care.

The staff deserves special recognition. The workers were attentive, professional, and incredibly kind. They ensured that everything ran smoothly, refilling dishes promptly, keeping the space tidy, and checking in discreetly to make sure guests had everything they needed. Their presence made the event feel effortless and allowed everyone to focus on what mattered: remembering and celebrating a loved one.

The combination of a stunning space, excellent food, and outstanding service made this a truly meaningful and comforting experience. It was a beautiful way to say goodbye, surrounded by love, memories, and community.”

“I was at Aloft Buffalo Downtown for Roswell's Cancerchella. The hotel was very accommodating, fun, and very comfortable. Their bowling alley was a lot of fun and the XYZBar had great drinks and was very comfortable to socialize in. It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights with the rooftop bar judging by the line of people waiting for the elevator up. The staff did well to work around some of the rude and pushy customers. I highly recommend staying at this hotel for a nice visit in downtown Buffalo!Rooms: The rooms are fun, trendy, and in my opinion a little nicer than your average affordable hotel. My room was on the 12th floor and had a beautiful view of Buffalo and Lake Erie. The bathrooms and showers were nice and spacious. There wasn't really much for a dresser but instead a place to put your luggage with a couple of small drawers underneath. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet at night. There was also a small table and some seating in the room.Safety: I felt pretty safe at this hotel. You need card key access to get to the hotel floors via elevator. However when I left my room this morning someone had attempted to tamper with the card reader to my door, and the cover was off of it and laying on the ground. My door was deadbolt though so I didn't have to worry about someone breaking in. A few other doors had this happen to on our floor, so i just notified front staff when I checked out. There was ample security in the lobby and the bars, and I felt completely safe during my stay!Walkability: This hotel is very walkable where it's located in downtown buffalo. There are plenty of things to do within walking distance, including the theatre district.Food & drinks: The food catered for our Cancerchella event was fantastic! The drinks at any of the bars were delicious and typical pricing.”

“Had to stand outside a very long time to enter the building to play bingo. But when we finally got in, we had a very fun time with the family. There’s a small snack bar. I think the pizza was from Mr Pizza, popcorn was very good just like the movies and they also had alcohol for over 21yrs and pop and water for everyone else.Parking was a little hard.”
