    We love the Wurlitzer

    We are so happy with our decision to go with the Wurlitzer for our wedding. Don Warfe is the absolute best and was so accommodating to literally every request we made. All of our guests were so impressed with the food, the service and the beautiful venue.

    Highly Recommend

    The Wurlitzer and my event coordinator Ali were amazing. I had my ceremony in the upstairs ballroom and the reception in the downstairs ballroom. Ali was super helpful in my planning process, was super responsive to my many emails, and set up my decor exactly as I wanted. I have nothing but good things to say about the Wurlitzer as the building is beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, the downstairs bridal suite was super convenient, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They were also flexible with the dietary issues of my guests. I would highly recommend the Wurlitzer.

    Perfect from start to finish

    My husband and I got married at The Wurlitzer on 9/25/21, and I literally can not say enough about them! The ENTIRE day of my wedding I was so stress free because everything was taken care of. They set up my centerpieces (they also packed them up at the end of the night!), set up the ceremony room, Ali was always around to answer questions and to help move the day along. The staff during the reception was incredible. Everyone was so friendly, and so willing to help out with anything anyone needed. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL, and fit our vintage themed wedding perfectly. AND THE FOOD! Everything we ate that night was delicious. Tammy was our original coordinator and she was absolutely amazing at answering my 7,000 questions. I loved everything about this venue, and I'm so happy I got to spend my special day here.

    Best WNY Wedding Venue

    I want to start by saying this has to be the best wedding venue in WNY. We were able to have our dream wedding 5-15-21. Don and his staff went above and beyond to make our day absolutely amazing. The food, atmosphere, and service was top notch. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding. All through Covid when we weren’t sure if our day would happen, Don remained calm and supportive. We are being told by many people it is one of the best weddings they ever attended. Thank you Don & staff!! We are forever grateful.

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thank you NIcole for the kind words. I'm so happy to make a small part of your day to be what you dreamed of. And of course, it goes without saying, dealing with kind and wonderful people make it a pleasure to work with.

    The perfect New Year’s Eve

    Don at the Wurlitzer was such a pleasure to work with. He was so easy going and accommodating during the planning process. He responded to all of my questions in a timely manner and made sure everything went off without a hitch. The food was amazing - all of our guests agreed. And the venue itself is beautiful! We were so pleased with everything. Thank you Don and staff!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    Where do I even start. Don you rock. You made our whole wedding planning process so simple & stress free. Thank you for giving us the most perfect day of our lives. If we had to do it all over again we would choose Wurlitzer Events in a heartbeat. The food was phenomenal, the staff and service was exceptional. Most importantly our guests all said how great of a time they had.

    Our day went off without a hitch!!

    From the minute we walked into the Wurlitzer I knew my wedding had to be here. It was confirmed after talking to Don who made our entire experience amazing. He answered my questions promptly, was accommodating with our requests, and ensured our day went off without a hitch. I would 10/10 recommend this venue to future brides. It will not disappoint!!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Hi Elizabeth,
    Thanks you for the kind words and taking the time to write a review! You have no idea how this helps future brides with making their decisions. You and your now HUSBAND were great to work with!

    Greatest day!

    The Wurlitzer took care of us from the moment we met with them. Everything went smoothly and above our expectations. The appetizers, bar, and food was phenomenal. Don was amazing to work with as well. Thanks for making our dream a reality!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thanks Mary and it was definitely a pleasure to work with you on your wedding! Your organization helped make my job so easy! Thanks!!

    Our dream wedding at Wurlitzer

    We got married at the Wurlitzer Event Center on July 5th 2019. We had explored a number of different venues before making this decision. I am also in a wedding band so I have performed in practically every wedding venue in Western New York. With all this as comparison I can confidently say that the Wurlitzer Event Center is by far the nicest and trendiest venue for any wedding or special event. And that's not where the benefits end. The staff and accommodations are unparalleled with any other venue. Unlike every other venue which has a defined set of protocols which limits your ability to create your dream event, Don Warfe and his team at the Wurlitzer set no limits to your imagination. They will accommodate you as best as they possibly can. For us they bent over backwards to accommodate our unique Multicultural wedding. It was really thinking out of the box for them. They even agreed to take my recipes and cook Bulgarian food for me. What other venue would agree to do that? They were willing to accommodate us with time, decor, the menu, and the best prices we could have gotten anywhere! The guests were so impressed with the food, that even six months later I am still hearing about how they have never had food this good at any venue. We have been so impressed with our experience, that we not only recommend this to others, we booked the same venue for our church Christmas party. What a success that was! The staff at Wurlitzer have beautiful Caring Hearts that look to make any event a dream! If anyone has any reservations, I would not hesitate to be used as a reference or to give Don Warfe and Wurlitzer Events Center our highest recommendations. They made our Dream event come true! Thank you for the hard work!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Maria! It was a great wedding and I really loved working with you and Joe. Having a multi-cultural wedding was "out of the box" for us and we really enjoyed the difference that was brought to the table. I am so thankful for the review and the continued patronage. Thanks again!!

    Did an amazing job for our wedding

    When we first went to check out this venue we knew we were a small wedding and were told that the upstairs room would be a good fit based on our size! We checked it out and liked the room but didnt feel like it was quite for us. I asked if we could see the downstairs room and we knew this was the venue for us. We took one good look at the first floor room and thats all it took! We told the venue we want this room and to go over the options. We asked about having the ceremony outside on the patio and was told that we can do that! Well all went well the communication remained good throughout the whole time and come time for the wedding. The day of there were a couple small hiccups from our wedding but they continue to be courteous and correct the hiccups and make things right! But i still recommend this venue; everything came together beautifully and i wouldnt have gone anywhere else! All of our guests raved about the food the venue made! And of course drinks were good too! Our main contact has been just amazing and extremely flexible and very willing to help! Glad we got in to this venue for our wedding! Now this place is the place to be for getting married! I understand why! I am glad we got that opportunity!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thank you Carrie for your kind words and taking the time to write such a nice review. The small hiccups happen at most every function, dealing with them professionally, without notice to the guests is what catering is all about! Thanks again!!

    Amazing in every way!!!

    Hosting our wedding at the Wurlitzer was the best decision I’ve ever made! The venue is absolutely stunning, clean and modern with an industrial flair that sets it apart from your average wedding venue. The manager, Don went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us and let us customize every detail we wanted. The food was amazing, which is saying a lot since I married a chef! The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. They set up before the wedding and tore down afterwards. They were amazing!!! I would recommend this venue to everyone for any type of event! They truly appreciate your business and make you feel welcomed and like part of their family. They made our day so special and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us! If you don’t use Events at the Wurlitzer for your next event you are definitely missing out!!!! I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thank you Tommie Jo,
    It was such a pleasure to work with you on your wedding, both ceremony and reception. You made our venue look amazing, your attention to detail helped me so much. And a side note of thanks for letting us use your photos for our ads.

    Events at the Wurlitzer

    The Wurlitzer team was excellent to work with! Don was more than accommodating and every need was met. No does not seem to be in his vocabulary. The event was excellent and we will be back in May for the wedding of our younger daughter. We are anticipating another memorable evening based on our prior experience.

    Highly recommend for a wedding venue!

    My husband and I booked our wedding reception with Don at the Wurlitzer Building while the venue was still under construction. Working with Don was seamless to plan our perfect wedding day. Together with our guests, we were so impressed with everything about our wedding reception - the food, the service and physical appearance of the venue. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding reception venue or even just space for a party of any occasion. We are happy with our choice to work with Don!

    Great Wedding Venue!

    We were so happy with the service we got when working with Don and the entire team at the Events at the Wurlitzer. It seems like Don works countless hours each week to make sure every event goes off without a hitch. He was the main contact for our event and seemed to have a solution for anything we asked him to do. We thank him for everything he did to coordinate our day and make it run so smoothly.

    When we walked into the Wurlitzer on the night of our wedding, we were in awe. We went for a vintage theme and walking into the tower room at the Wurlitzer felt like we were walking into a 1920s speakeasy. It was perfect!!!

    Beyond that, in the past couple weeks, We've had guests tell us that the food at our wedding was the BEST FOOD they have ever had at a wedding. The food is tender and not overly salty like other banquet food. We have also had guests tell us that our bartenders were fantastic. We actually didn't drink much at our wedding (too busy having fun), but guests have told us that they asked for something fruity and were given one of the best drinks they had ever had.

    All in all, Don and the entire team at Events at the Wurlitzer delivered! The venue fit into our theme and we enjoyed every moment at our wedding! Thank you so much!!

    Wurlitzer Events's reply:

    Thank you Arielle,
    Your wedding was beautiful and so much fun! I loved the fact that you allowed me to help you with the "New York" style wedding. The dancing was off the charts! Thanks for the kind words!

    Historically Modern, Beautiful, Amazing.

    The Wurlitzer was a beautiful setting for our November reception. The food was amazing, the space clean and well kept, and the staff beyond professional. Don and his team made our day perfect. We had attended a wedding here prior to booking our own, and knew as soon as we got engaged that this was the venue for us. We loved the patio just outside the space with string lights and a fire pit - which proved to be a popular spot for some of our guests even during the chilly November evening. Our guests raved about the food and our final guest list of 250 fit perfectly in the room - even with a full band, remembrance table, and more ( I was very concerned about feeling cramped, but the space was just right with a perfectly sized dance floor). A system glitch did cause us to have to change our date early on, but it was caught close enough to signing our contract that it didn't cause issues with other vendors. Also, not all of the details we provided the team to set up were put out (small detailed items), but we were the only ones who knew that it didn't happen, so it wasn't something that affected our guests' experience, which is what it's ultimately about! This venue also had a special family tie for us - as a great-uncle used to work at the building in it's first life as a piano factory. This venue is the perfect combination of old world industrial meets modern design. It could stand on it's own without much additional decor, but could also be a blank slate for any theme. Love it and can't wait to attend more events here as guests!

    June Wedding

    My husband and I had our wedding at the Wurlitzer in June after having to change our venue due to a delayed opening date. We could not have been happier with the Wurlitzer. Don was amazing in helping us with all aspects of planning, the food was awesome and the venue was gorgeous - we got so many compliments from our guests. The only minor negative comment I have (the reason for the 4 stars of service) was for the bar staff; I believe our wedding was the first big event there that served alcohol so I’m sure they were still working out the kinks as far as bar service. Overall, I highly recommend the Wurlitzer. We actually recommended the venue to a friend who is getting married next year and she chose to have her wedding here!

    Great!!! 5 stars!

    We loved how everything turned out with our wedding here. Both the upstairs room and downstairs is beautiful and the downstairs accommodated our 220 guests. The outside patio was such a special addition and perfect for our sparkler send off. It has an industrial chic kind of vibe I didn't know I would be interested in but it was all very elegant. Let me just talk about the food for a second...EVERYONE commented about how amazing it was. Overall we are so happy with how everything turned out.
