Reviews for Lucarelli's Banquet Center

We used Lucarelli's off site catering. We did there stations dinner set up and an open bar. We had prime rib, roasted turkey, a potatoe bar, live pasta station, salad bar, and coffee bar. The food was absolutely amazing. They arrived even before we did to get the tables dressing and set. When we were done with our ceremony one of there bartenders were right there to get us drinks if we wanted them. They were very professional, but were friendly enough that they just seemed like more of our friends. I would choose Lucarelli's again for any catered event I may plan!

Lucarelli's was a huge reason that our wedding went off without a hitch. We did not use their facilities but instead had Lucarelli's cater the wedding off-site. They were prompt, had everything set up perfectly and the food was delicious! We had a buffet for about 200 people and everyone raved about the food and the excellent service. Mike Lucarelli was very responsive as was Linda who was in practically constant contact with my Mother dealing with logistics! Overall I would highly recommend Lucarelli's for anybody who wants delicious food at a reasonable price!




I actually had my shower at Lucarelli's, not my wedding reception but it was so nice I wanted to write a review. We opted for a brunch on a Saturday in August. Even though they were booked solid for weddings that night and had a funeral brunch the same morning, they were able to accommodate us and did so without making us feel rushed. We were in the Garden Room, which is the perfect setup for a brunch. We had about 35 people, but the room could've fit at least fifty. There is a smaller room attached where they placed the food items and beverages. There was coffee and pastries set out as guests arrived and the food followed shortly thereafter. We were able to choose a good selection of breakfast and lunch items and everything was delicious. The attached room was great because it allowed the flow of people to move through in an orderly fashion. The food was delicious and the Garden room was quite convenient. Due to it's location at the front of the Banquet Center, we were able to take gifts right out to the front door were the car was parked, saving time and energy.
The Banquet Manager was also fantastic. My sister/matron of honor lives in VA and was able to get information and plans set up over the phone and they were very flexible with her as far as things that needed to be handled in person. Also, I had three (!!) cousins who were pregnant and due within a week of the shower so we were unsure if they would make it or not. The manager allowed us to leave them off the total count so we would not be charged if they could not attend. On the day, two of the three did attend and they still did not make us pay for the additional guests, despite our offer to do so. The staff assigned to our shower kept everything on schedule without making us feel rushed or inconvenienced. I was very pleased overall with the accommodations.

After searching literally every catering company that came up on googlemaps for western new york, we finally decided on Lucarelli's because 1- they were flexible (in price, in food choices), 2- Mike Lucarelli was sooo nice, 3- they have a "portable" kitchen. Our reception was at Shea's Performing Arts Center, which doesn't have a kitchen or even a microwave, so our choices were to either have the food delivered in warming boxes from a caterer, or have it cooked on site. Lucarelli's brought their truck which has a kitchen inside, so all the food was hot and delicious. Mike upgraded us to the filet for free even though he had already given us a discount from their package prices. Everything was great and looked nice, the staff was attentive, and Mike was great to work with. We had a dual-entry. On each plate was: stuffed chicken, filet mignon, green beans, twice baked potato. They set up coffee and appetizers, and let us bring our own cookies and desserts which they set up for us. I highly recommend them. Their food fit the "classyness" standard for having a reception at Shea's.
