Astoria Banquets and Events Venue was an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with for our wedding. All through the planning process, their communication was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and detailed. The venue itself is truly glamorous and elegant, yet versatile enough to suit any couple's style. The bartenders, wait staff, and coordinators provided incredible service, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our special day. In fact, Max at Astoria was better than any wedding planner we could have hired. For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday. We got married at Astoria on a Sunday in February, and the price per person was a steal, especially since the venue included everything we needed aside from a DJ and photographer. Overall, Astoria Banquets and Events Venue provided us with the most beautiful wedding, all while keeping us well under budget. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and beautiful venue!!

The Haley Mansion was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication style was outstanding - they were always available to meet with us face-to-face, were incredibly responsive, and showed genuine kindness throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was exceptional. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of traditional elegance and unexpected modern touches. Whenever we encountered any problems or challenges, the Haley Mansion team was quick to present alternative solutions, and they even provided us with a day-of time keeper to ensure the ceremony ran smoothly. We loved working with our wedding coordinator, whose bubbly personality was everything we could have hoped for. The only thing we wish is that they had allowed her to stay with us on the day of the wedding, as she was the one we were expecting to be by our side throughout the entire event. Overall, the Haley Mansion exceeded our expectations in every way and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our special day absolutely perfect.
