Samuel's Grande Manor - Williamsville, New York

We hosted Christian Central Academy's annual gala fundraiser at Samuel's this past fall. We were thrilled with the venue and it's newer decor. There was ample space for our 200 guests, including space for our silent auction time in one of the adjacent rooms. The staff were friendly and very accomodating. From our vendors (AV guy, valet parking team, jazz band, etc.), Samuel's worked well with everyone to help ensure we had a successful evening. Also, the most common praise we received from a followup survey we sent attendees was how great the food was. We highly recommend Samuel's for large events. In fact we have already booked our gala for next year!

Choosing Samuel’s as our venue was the best decision we ever made. Right from the beginning we fell in love with the space, we even moved our wedding date up from October to August so we could take full advantage of the outdoor fountain bar.

There are no words to be able to fully describe how wonderful working with Mark was – he answered all of our questions, took us on as many tours as we wanted, and really made us feel confident in our decision. The planning process was very stress-free on our end which made it so much easier to enjoy.

Renea was our captain on the day of and thanks to her everything ran so smoothly and on schedule. She took my scribbles of centerpieces and transformed the space into something more beautiful than I could have imagined.

I spent the whole day on-site thanks to the beautiful bridal suite, which helped our timeline significantly, and provided a quiet space to be able to relax and take in every moment. Bonus – there was a groom’s suite as well!

Samuel’s worked seamlessly with our other vendors as well and we were able to drop off our items earlier in the week so there was one less thing to worry about the weekend of.

Then there was the food – absolutely incredible. From the cocktail hour appetizers to the main courses, everything was perfectly timed and delicious. They even accommodated our request to have some of the cocktail hour appetizers brought to the bridal suite so we could have a moment to ourselves and enjoy the food as well.

We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding day and we owe it all to the team at Samuel’s!

Samuel's Grande Manor went above and beyond for our wedding. Mark and his team were absolutely amazing. They had every detail down and made our day so magical. I cannot recommend Samuel's enough for your next event! They made sure we had everything we wanted for the day, and checked on us and our guests throughout the evening. They are an awesome venue!

Great place for an event. My hubby's best friend was married here and it was a beautiful outside wedding. The staff did a great job serving,but there were a few that were very unprofessional and didn't seem to be able to handle their job responsibility without getting frustrated. The food was not to bad. Could be much better. Not seasoned very well. When it comes to the look it's beautiful and the desserts we're very tasty.

What a beautiful place to have a wedding. Inside is elegant and well taken care of And the out is gorgeous with fountains and lovely spots to enjoy the atmosphere of the night. Great food tops it all. I loved the prime rib it melts in your mouth and the chicken cordon bleu was good as well. Baked Alaska topping the eating experience. The service was set up like a machine they are very experienced in running an event.

This Is A Classic Place. I Actually Sang Here With A Group From High School Way Back When. Came Here Tonight To Hear Jason Ricci and The Bad Kind. Wonderful Show. Jason Kills On Harmonica and The Band Is Superb. When They're In Town Don't Miss Them. The Room Is Large And Sounds Good. Go Here And Enjoy.

Dear Mr. Charles Pezzino, Mark Fromholt, Renea & the entire staff at Samuel's Grande Manor-
I want to start off by saying thank you to you all, especially Mark without whom this event would not have been possible. From start to finish, he was there to answer questions and work to accommodate our needs within a reasonable budget. He was patient, kind and had a wonderfully calming influence during times of stress. He took the load off of me a number of times as I planned this out of state wedding, by working directly with vendors (food, mandap) to finalize important details including placement of mandap within dimensions of the hall.

I am a Buffalo Native and currently living in South Florida. My husband and I spent over a year looking for a wedding venue in some of the finest resorts South Florida has to offer. None had the warmth, hospitality, and professionalism (including responsiveness) of Mark Fromholt. Both he and the organization are an excellent reflection of what the city of Buffalo represents and I am honored to have been married here.

Our event was a multiple day indian event with a garba/sangeet on Friday, traditional Hindu ceremony on Saturday morning and cocktail hour with reception on Saturday evening. The venue itself is stunning post major reno with a lovely palette of greys, crystal chandeliers and wide range of downlighting color options. Our guests enjoyed the multifaceted nature of the venue including its open and airy nature with preserved intimate feel. The floor to ceiling windows provided an excellent view of the garden during both our ceremony and wedding reception and provided us with the most stunning of event backdrops. Special thank you to Renea who used her artistic skills to bring the event decor together with her special touch. Special touches like the Alaskan Flambe dessert presentation were unique touches to the event. In summary, I would highly recommend this venue and its staff without reservation. We have no regrets on our choice!
