Samuel's Grande Manor

Their packages gave us the ability to have a nice wedding on our modest budget

Everyone at Samuels was great! The staff very helpful and attentive to everyone's needs. We received nothing but compliments from all of our guests on the food. Everything as cooked perfectly and the waiters attended to every table. I would most definetly recommend Samuels for a wedding venue!

Great service. The team captain Pat was excellent. She really made us feel special on this important day. They did a nice job working with the DJ to coordinate all of the events during the wedding.

The only complaint about the food was that the salad was awful and we heard this from over 40 of our guests. There was no dressing and the croutons were soggy. It should have had crisp lettuce with fresh croutons and dressing.

Everything on the day was amazing and a large part was due to Samuels as the venue. The food was outstanding, I had a lot of guests that came up to me and told me how amazing the food was. The room was decorated very tastefully for the Christmas holiday which made it look outstanding. Compared to other vendors in the area the meals were very reasonably priced yet tasted a lot better than wedding food at other more expensive locations in the Buffalo area. The staff was extremely accommodating and there if we needed anything from when I started planning the day til the very end of the reception.

Everything was just perfect! The staff at Samuel's was outstanding....very attentive, professional and courteous to us and all our guests. I have received numerous comments from guests at the wedding expressing their delight at the quality of the food, the tremendous service, and overall look and feel of the venue. Everyone's meal was served in a timely manner, cooked well and delicious. The presentation was fantastic. We would highly recommend Samuel's as a high-class and upscale venue.

We were extremely happy with Samuels Grande Manor. The atmosphere, food and the service was top of the line. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish.

Our wedding day turned out perfect! The food was absolutely phenomenal, from the buffet dinner, to the baked Alaskan for dessert. We received, and are still receiving so many compliments from our guests, a lot of which are saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our captain for the night was great, always there when needed. I would recommend Samuel's to anyone, and look forward to going back for their holiday brunches.

Everything was great! The food was excellent. We were happy with everything. The sevice was very good. The wedding receptuion was perfect. We were really happy.

Wonderful! Very helpful , kept things moving and well organized.

the captain and DJ should have announced that there was a dessert table; guests did not know that there was one.

Overall the event went well. There were a few things that I have comments on:

1. When we asked about the bartender tip jars and how we didn't want them, we were told that they never use tip jars. However, there were tip jars out on the bar during our event.

2. We had a 4 1/2 hour bar which was broken down as follows: 6-7, 8:15-11:45. The staff started to break down the tables around 11:00 - while people were still dancing and when we had 45 mins left. This caused people to assume that the event was over which caused the majority of people to leave early. The staff should not have started to break down tables until closer to our end time.

3. The captain that we had was not personable and quite rude towards the end of the night when she realized that she wasn't going to get an "extra tip". I did not see a need to give extra money since we already paid gratuity ahead of time. I think that having the tip jars out on the bar and the expectation of receiving an extra tip is tacky and absurd when gratuity is already included.

But besides those few things, the event went well and we all had a good time.

Absolutely amazing! Everyone from my wedding has complimented Samuel's on their service, food, and the beauty of the place. The night was perfect and the food was exceptional! Sue answered all my emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. She answered all my questions leading up to the event. The process was explained to me at my rehearsal and was carried out exactly as explained. My captain Dawn was wonderful. She made sure everyone in my bridal party had beverages while we were doing our formal pictures and during dinner. She also answered any questions we had, stayed in contact with my photographer and DJ to keep everything on time. Mark the manager checked in to introduce himself and answer questions. The staff was friendly and efficient.
Thank you Samuel's
Bridgette & Tim M

We are extremely pleased with Samuel's Grande Manor!

Great venue! Was beautiful:) we had a great time. A few little things but they were immediately fixed

Our wedding was wonderful. Samuel's staff did an outstanding job.

Everyone that we dealt with was wonderfully professional, friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about our wedding! If you are debating about using Samuels then you need to stop debating and choose them!

As a bit of a control freak, I felt a little uncomfortable leaving the set up up to someone else, but they did an amazing job! Everything was set up perfectly! The room looked beautiful, the food was delicious and hot, the servers were organized and they made an extra effort to make sure the bridal party especially was taken care of. We were very pleased with everything!!! People continue to comment on how great it was! Thanks!!!

We had our wedding at Samuels Grande Manor and everything turned out perfect! Everything was above and beyond our expectations and couldn't have turned out any better. The food, service and ambiance were amazing. Everything was very well done; right down to the ice sculpture and place settings; the room looked awesome! The staff did a great job making all of our guests feel special with their great service. Our Captain Pat, Wedding Cordinator Sue, and Banquet Manager Mark did an incredible job taking care of us making sure everything was perfect. We received rave reviews from guests who had an great time. We would like to thank the staff at Samuels for making our memorable night even more special.

We just had our wedding and reception at Samuel's this past weekend. I can say that I would recommend Samuel's to anyone who wants to have a truly beautiful garden ceremony and a fun reception!! I live out of town but am originally from NY so we wanted to have our wedding in my home state. We were a little apprehensive about the ease in planning a wedding from out of state but it was so easy. Everyone at Samuel's was absolutely terrific to work with. They are extremely efficient, organized, helpful, flexible, responsive and kind. I can say that leading up to the day, I had no worries about the ceremony or the reception (apart for hoping it wouldn't rain!).

Anytime we emailed or called Samuel's, we received responses very quickly and they were always extremely accommodating. All of our guests raved about the ceremony, music, drinks and food. If you are looking for a beautiful place to have a wonderful wedding, Samuel's is the place to go!!!

Excellent service and a wonderful night- Samuel's is one stop shopping- uplighting, wine, chair covers- everything could be coordinated through them!

We couldn't have been happier with Samuel's. Sue,Mark, and our captain Pat made our special night perfect! I would recommend them 150%. More than a week later our guests are still raving about the food and ambience!!

We had a great time. However after the wedding getting out items back was difficult. We never got back out bathroom items we supplied or any of the outside decorations

Samuel's Grande Manor with the help of Sue Manfredo couldn't of been more helpful and accommodating. From the very start all our questions and concerns were answered as well as taken care of.

As the big day got closer and nerves and stress tend to build up Samuel's stepped up their game even more, once you give them the instructions of what you want they came through and took care of everything...from decorations to favors they had everything set up as planned.

The captain they provided for the day went above and beyond taking care of all our needs and even suggesting better options for things we never would of thought of.

The food was raved about by all our guests.

From top to bottom Samuels did a tremendous job and exceeded all our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone for their big day.

our caption pat was wonderful! I also liked how mark was asking if things were good.. Sue was great also. no complaints except our florist.- which has nothing to do with samuels. the wedding was wonderful!

Using Samuel's for our wedding was an extremely positive experience. The grounds there are beautiful. What really made us appreciate Samuel's was their responsiveness to our questions and the way we wanted things decorated. This was very refreshing because not all our vendors were as responsive as Samuel's was.

We had our wedding reception at Samuel's Grande Manor on September 15th 2012. What a great experience! Sue helped us plan, and from start to finish, everything was amazing!! All of our guests raved about the food and service! Our day couldn't have been more perfect thanks to Samuel's!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Samuel's Grande Manor a couple weeks ago and it was AMAZING. From the beginning planning stages until the end of the reception, we could not ask for better service. Sue was very patient in the planning process and took the time to review what we wanted, then we made arrangements from there. The day of the wedding, they were great. Our outdoor ceremony got moved indoors due to rain- but it was a "easy" transition and everything went on without any problems. Our captain, Dawn, for the evening was beyond wonderful! She was there for everything we needed- never had to go looking for her! It was all the little things she did that made our reception that much better- she knew what everyone was drinking and was always refilling, and all the "events" (i.e. speeches, dances, cake cutting) flowed nicely! I would recommend Samuel Grande to anyone- you cannot go wrong and will have the best service from the beginning of the planning process to the last dance of the night!

I was very impressed with Samuels! The captain I was provided for my wedding was at my beck and call and was always there for anything I needed. I have heard nothing but super things about the food at my wedding! My guests were raving saying they have never had food as good as Samuels had for my wedding! They did a superb job and I would recommend them to anyone for an event!

Our wedding at Samuel's was picture perfect. All of the vendors that were recommended were wonderful as well. We had the Josephine room upstairs and didn't even notice that there were other weddings going on. The food was cooked perfectly, though could have been presented a little more attractively. Sue was very helpful in answering all of my questions throughout the planning process and Renee was an excellent captain for the evening. She made sure I didn't have to think about anything except enjoying myself. One thing to note is that because they have several events at once, the timing of the ceremony, etc. are not flexible. Also, there are only 100 chairs available for the ceremony. I asked for 110 and was turned down. It did not end up being a problem for us though.

Sue and the whole staff at Samuel's were very gracious, helpful and very very accomodating. I have recommended Samuel's to friends and acquaintances for their upcoming events. Our wedding was beautiful and I thank Sue and Samuel's staff for making that happen!

Staff and venue exceeded our expectations!

When my fiance and I first got engaged... I panicked because I didn't know what I had to do or how I was supposed to do it. When we chose Samuel's Grande Manor as our venue, I stopped worrying. They were all absolutely fantastic to work with. My main criteria for a location were that I wanted the ceremony and reception to take place at the same location, so that our guests were not left to occupy themselves for 3 hours while we went and took pictures. I also wanted a location that didn't require me to have the same # of chairs at each table, because I didn't want to group people together just to fill the table. They let me have anywhere from 8 to 12 people at each table. They took care of pretty much everything for me... they set up the centerpieces, put out the favors, displayed our chosen dessert (we didn't want to do cake), etc. I didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to enjoy my wedding day without any stress. They are absolutely phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the Buffalo area.

Samuel's Grande Manor was amazing! Our reception looked so beautiful and elegant! Staff was very prompt and professional! Our guests had a great time there! Food was the way we wanted it and quite fresh! Thanks for making our reception so beautiful!!!

We found Samuel's to be the perfect place for our wedding reception! All of the staff there was very helpful, every step of the way, during our planning process. They really made us feel that they were there for us. The day of our reception, I really felt like I could sit back, relax and let them handle everything and they did. They did ask questions throughout the reception of me and my husband, but these questions were welcomed as I would rather have them ask and do things right than guess. Dawn, who was our event manager the night of, was excellent. She did everything I asked, and thought of things that I didn't. In addition, the facility there looked just beautiful and all of our guests commented on what a wonderful time they had!! :)

We had an excellent experience with Samuel's Grande Manor and the staff. They were helpful and responsive to our every need. I would highly recommend them to others.

Got married here about almost a month ago. Ceremony was there as well as the reception. Everything went smoothly. We received several compliments on the DJ as well as the food. Several guests said it was the best wedding food they have had.

My new husband and I worked mostly with Sue throughout our wedding planning. She was wonderful; friendly, funny, and a joy to work with! We planned our wedding at Samuel's from out of town, and Sue made it so easy for us. She was always available by email and our phone calls were returned promptly. We were able to meet with her whenever we came into town last minute. She made the whole process, from booking the venue to dropping off our decorations, seating charts, and favors, enjoyable and as stress-free as possible! Thank you to all of the staff at Samuel's for making our night so special, and thank you to Sue for helping us along the way!

the staff was great, everything was on time food was very good my day was everything I wanted it to be


Thank you so much,

Mrs Clintonia Ferreira

Overall, our experience was wonderful. Everyone was so professional and ready to help, we felt it was the best choice we could have made.

A dream come true.

There were some things, looking back in retrospect, that I would have prepared for....

1) I heard from several of our guests that their drinks were being cleared constantly. They would be out on the dance floor with a full drink on the table. Our guest would come back for their drink and it would be cleared. Not just once but mulitple times. Our guests were trying not to dance with a drinks on the dance floor but then they felt there was no alternative because the attention paid to clearing the table was intense.
2) Several guests came to me about their favors being cleared. We had payed thousands for menus, name cards, card holders and keepsakes. Many of which had been cleared, tossed or disappeared. Even Keith and I do not have our personalized menus, name cards and place card holders. At the end of the meal those things had been cleared. Really nice crystal heart shaped holders. Gone! I even bought extra (approx 10) to take home. I don't have any of those either.

I just wish everyone would have been able to take home these favors, at the very least us. At the end of the night you're given so many things to take home, you assume that among them are your keepsakes. As I went through the stuff, after our honeymoon, that's when I discovered those items were not there. It was over a week so I didn't bother to call Samuel's.

Moving forward, I would just remind the staff to clarify what goes home with the guest, what is just decoration and what gets thrown out. If you're like me and you want all the sentimental details for scrapbooking and posterity, have this important conversation before the event.

Sue did an amazing job and was very responsive to all my calls and emails. She made herself available whenever I needed her.

We had our wedding and reception at Samuel's on 8/17/12 and couldn't have been happier with everything! We had decided to check Samuel's Grande Manor out after a handful of other Buffalo venues either didn't offer what we'd have liked, or offered little for exorbitant prices. Samuel's packages were reasonably priced, and included so much for what we paid.

We worked with Mark and Sue on both the initial consultation and the details, and both were extremely professional and organized, and even checked on us during our big day to make sure everything went well. I had also spoken to Karyl a handful of times for final billing details, and she was friendly and responsive, and sent me over a copy of the bill promptly so I could get the bank draft that same day. Our room captain was Rinaya (I apologize if I misspelled it), and she was excellent--she kept the groom and groomsmen hydrated while they waited for the rest of us to arrive, and made sure we were comfortable and happy the entire night.

We had a few minor hiccups like a vegetarian not getting a vegetarian meal, but all we had to do was flag down our captain and it was immediately remedied! The service staff were all awesome, from the bartenders, to our captain, to the servers.

We couldn't have been happier with Samuel's as our ceremony and reception location. They are absolutely one of, if not THE best in the business, and I will happily recommend them to all of my friends and family!

Samuels was absolutely amazing to my husband and I. The captain was attentive from the moment I stepped into the door. Once the bartender knew what we liked to drink he would have our drinks made before we stepped to the bar. We didn't need to ask for anything. It has been a month since the wedding and my family and friends are still raving about how great the food and service was.

We had a great time the service was wonderful and it made for a great day for our family and friends.

Everything was wonderful and all of the staff was very helpful and really made our day special.

The Captain for our room was awesome. DJ Debbie played great songs all night and kept people on the dance floor. The Baked Alaska dance/entertainment by the wait staff was a hit, and everyone loved the decor.

Samuel's was a great place to have our wedding, the service we received from the Capt. and staff they gave us was amazing. They really took care of us and our families with whatever we needed and were on top of things. Overall the experience was amazing, but there were some hiccups and issues that arose. First thing was our sign directing people to our wedding party, was spelled incorrectly which isnt a huge deal, but it was something I noticed. The second thing was kind of a big thing, my wife was told she could leave her stuff in the office during the wedding, and we could grab it after. When the wedding ended we went to go grab the stuff and what appeared to be bathroom water had leaked through the ceiling from the floor above and was all over everything. Not exactly the way you want to end your night of all nights. We ended up having to wash everything that was in there because everything smelled pretty horrible. I wouldnt consider that something that really could have been helped, but it was still part of our day. Overall our experience was great and we would recommend it to anyone!

Thank you to Sue and Mark (and also our Banquet captain!!) for helping make our wedding incredible! It was better than we dreamed of. I was an out of town bride and as you can imagine not being able to see how everything would be laid out was a bit stressful but Samuel's made everything perfect on our big day. From the decor to the food to the service. I have never heard so many people say that our wedding was the best they've ever been to. It wouldn't have been without Samuel's amazing service. Thank you a million times over. We will certainly be recommending Samuel's Grande Manor to everyone!

We had a great reception at Samuel's. Sue was wonderful-- I emailed a lot, and she took time with every email. Food was delicious...only problem-- we ordered 8 vegetarian meals, and more than those 8 must have asked for it, so 2 people who requested them didn't get a meal (ate baked potatoes off someone else's plates). That made me sad-- wish they could have had extra plates ready just in case (especially since the veggie meals were not as expensive as the steak and chicken but they were the same price). Minor issue, but everything else was PERFECT. Reneea, our captain for the night, was awesome! Would definitely have another event there!

We loved our wedding venue, the only complaint would be to specify what you would like done with your cake. Ours ended up wrapped up in napkins in a basket for the guest to take home. Luckily I saw it and had them put the cake in the boxes I provided.

Superb,wonderful
Our Amy was outstanding

Samuel's Grande Manor did an excellent job for our wedding. The food was great and our Captain Pat was wonderful. The manager came to speak with us twice during the night to see how everything was going and Sue Manfredo was great during the whole planning process. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

it was amazing! we had a positive experience from the moment we looked at booking, right through the end of the event.

The service was extremely efficient and easy to work with. The only thing that made us a little uncomfortable was during the event we were running a little behind schedule and we felt extremely pressured by our captain to "move it along." Everything besides that was phenomenal, everything went smoothly and was done exactly how we planned.

I fell in love with this place from the first day I saw it, it had everything in one place what more can you ask for? Ceremony, reception, parking, and service.The food was great and the service was excellent. I was very satisfied and happy with the results. They were flexiable with meeting my wants and needs. I recommend Samuels to anyone who is looking for a place to do an outside ceremony and have the reception within walking distance, which makes it much easier to accomadate guest. The landscape was absolutely gorgeous setting a great atmosphere for such a special day. The DJ Samuels provided did such an AWESOME job. The DJ was really caring, very easy to work and talk with. The DJ was great with being open and flexiable to the kind of music we wanted. The parking was within walking distance, and they also provided valet parking for your guest. You get what you pay for and Samuels was worth every penny.

Special thanks to Sue, everthing ran wonderfully, as planned. Management stepped up and addressed some issues we had early on. The wedding was perfect in every way. The grounds, gazebo, Josephine room,etc. were all wonderful. Dawn, our captain, kept everything running smoothly and we were well taken care of. Our guests loved the beautiful venue and the food was excellent-must have been good as Dawn let us know that every plate of food was served-no leftovers. The coffee bar was beautiful and the wedding cake and trays of cream puffs, etc. were gone in a flash.
Everyone said it was a totally wonderful wedding. Of course, that's all we could wish for, the most wonderful wedding day for our bride and groom.

We were very happy with everything at Samuel's Grande Manor. It is a beautiful facility and everyone was so easy to work with. The food and service were great.

they did a great job for the most part. capt. Bill is amazing and owner Mark and manager Sue were the best. Just make sure if u use the wedding agent you r ready for a compleat let down. Thanks to sam's grand manor our day turned out great. And again if you use them capt bill is the best!!!!!!

We had a fabulous wedding at Samuels and are so glad we chose this venue. Our guests had so much fun and couldn't stop raving about the food, which was one of the combo meals. Dawn, our wedding captain, was on top of everything and did anything we asked. She was extremely flexible and professional, which calmed the groom and I. The servers were prompt and the bartenders attentive. My only regret is that the day came and went so fast!

Samuel's Grande Manor was a beautiful place to have a wedding. Also, Debbie our DJ from Samuel sound was a blast and Accent chair-covers was helpful in making the room look stunning! Everyone at Samuel's was easy to work with, accommodating and very helpful!

I was a bit apprehensive when we chose to have our wedding in the US (I live in Canada but my husband is from Clarence). I thought it might make planning complicated. It could not have been easier. I cannot possibly recommend this venue highly enough. From beginning to end the staff were impeccably professional and kind. I will eat most foods without complaint however I'm very reserved when it comes to effusive praise. The filet mignon was extraordinary and the Samuel's Chicken was absolutely delicious. Hors d'oeuvres were scrumptuous! Our captain for the evening was attentive, kind, and uber professional. Mark, Sue, Karel, Margaret, all the staff provided outstanding service. Every detail was looked after and we were able to have the most joyous event of our lives. The guests RAVED about all of it...the food, the beauty of the venue, the staff. I can't imagine a better value is possible anywhere and we looked into a number of venues. We feel truly blessed to have had the privilege of having our wedding reception at Samuel's Grand Manor. I would recommend this venue and the staff to anyone, without reservation! Thank you everyone on staff!

The caption,Rennea, I was provided for my event was of excellent help. She was timely and kept me and my guests cared for and happy.

Everything was great! Pat was awesome. Never needed to go to the bar for a drink, she was always finding Tom and I and seeing if we needed anything. The rest of the staff was great also. Food was great. We are still receiving compliments. Will definitely be recommending Samuels!

Samuel's is a great venue for a wedding or any large event! The staff is very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. They are willing to work with any requests or suggestions that someone might have regarding their event. They even let us come in early the day before the wedding and do some set-up since our centerpieces were a bit complicated. The service the day of the wedding was great. We got a lot of compliments on the food (filet and chicken oscar). I would definitely recommend Samuel's to anyone considering them for their event.

Samuel's was very helpful in planning our wedding and our evening was perfect. Thank you!

Our wedding at Samuel's Grande Manor was perfect! Sue M. (our host) and Samuel's Grande Manor were so great at helping us plan everything since we were out of town! The whole reception went very smoothly thanks to them!!! I would recommend Samuel's Grande Manor to anyone (and we would recommend Sue!)

Just amazing. The venue was beautiful, the wait staff was fantastic and everyone was so responsive and accommodating. Never once did I feel like I was inconveniencing them by changing a detail or adding something last minute. Everything they did made our big day so special and perfect! I cannot recommend them enough.

Samuels Grande Manor is an amazing place to have a wedding reception. We had our in the middle room on the first floor, during the reception guests could mingle out on the patio or dance the night away inside. It was perfect.
The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. At your reception you get a "Captain" and staff devoted to your room. Our Captain was Pat, she was awesome! She came and asked how we were doing if we needed drinks as soon as we walked in, she was so attentive to all of our guests. The food was amazing; I wish I would have gotten to actually eat it, but being the bride it seems that we never get to eat. And you definitely get what you pay for! After looking at a few other places we thought that Samuels was the best deal, you get so much for your money.
Thank you to all of the staff at Samuel's! Our reception was awesome!

Everyone at saumels was beyond amazing! They were so attentive to what we needed and wanted to do nothing but help to ensure that our wedding was everything we hoped for! Our captian, was so kind and so professional. She catered to not only our every whim, but to our guests as well. I had several of my guests tell me what a wonderful person she is!
Samuels made the planning so easy! All of the vendors they recommend, we not only used but them as well!
My frantic emails were answered promptly and kindly. Never once did they make me feel like I was imposing or annoying!
To sum it up, we love, love, love every person there and can't wait to renew our vows to have the Samuels experience again!!

I really can't give enough positive feedback about Samuel's. From our first tour of the venue, all the way through the last moments of our wedding, the staff was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Mark made all of our planning almost seamless, and was simply wonderful to work with. The ceremony space is lovely, and our reception (in the Josephine Room) was fantastic. The food was excellent, though there was a bit too much of it...that the Viennese table went pretty much untouched because our guests were so full was unfortunate, as all of the desserts looked amazing. The staff was attentive and helpful, and Debbie (of Samuel's Sound Services) did a spectacular job with the music. I would highly recommend Samuel's to any couple looking for an elegant yet warm environment for their wedding!

I highly recommend Samuel's Grande Manor for any event function, the quality of service was impeccable and our wedding coordinator (Sue Manfredo) captured every detail.

Words cannot describe the exemplary job that all professionals at Samuel's Grande Manor perfomed for our daughter's wedding on June 9, 2012. We received personal attention for every detail.The staff guided us through the decision making and rehearsal process. The actual event was lovely and the catering service was delicious.

We had our ceremony and reception 6/2/12 at Samuels Grande Manor, the level of service we received was outstanding! I would recommend this venue to any bride. The food and service were amazing, everyone said the food was really good. If any of our guests left hungry it was there own fault. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for reception venue with outstanding people to work with, value & high quality of service.

Thanks so much for all the care and attention you showed to my daughter and her husband.Planning a wedding while the couple is overseas was tough but the staff was great and very understanding. Our captain for the evening (Dawn) was fantastic and took care of all needs and wants. Would strongly recomend this venue to any couple looking for a great space with outstanding service. Thanks again for everything!

Samuels Grande Manor was excellent. You will not find better quality and quantity in food for the price. We were very pleased with the whole staff, managers, head server, servers, and bartenders. We recommend them to anyone.

Everyone I spoke with at Samuel's was kind and flexible from start to finish. I planned my wedding from California, and easily made phone appointments to discuss the details. I spoke with Mark frequently via email leading up to the reception.

My parents visited the place in person, and chose the Ashley Room. The pictures on facebook and the website don't really give this room any justice. I was a little bummed that the room was so small, but in person it worked out perfectly for my 75-guest reception. It was an intimate space, with perfectly dimmed lighting, but with enough room to get around. The dancefloor seemed like it would be small, but it worked out just fine. There is a patio that leads outside off of the dancefloor that was nice.

All of the entrees were meat options, but Samuel's easily accomodated those with special dietary restrictions if you notified them in advance. If you are looking for a more complex dessert, I would say go for one of the flambes. We had the peaches jubilee, which was more of a simpler sweet.

Samuel's Sound (DJ service you can elect to have), was very flexible. I believe we had Fred. I planned everything with Debbie over the phone and via email, and she was very friendly and accomodating. We had a last minute change to not have a mother-son dance, and they went with the flow without any bloopers.

My only negative remark would be that our reception was held at the same time as a prom in the main ballroom area. We shared a bathroom the with the high school students. I don't know about the men's room, but the ladies bathroom was full of teens crying, throwing up, and verbally arguing. Too bad, because the bathrooms were beautiful! I heard from some of my guests that there were more people throwing up in the parking lot. I imagine there's not much that could have been done on Samuel's part, but my suggestion would be to plan around a prom event where there aren't massive crowds of teenagers.

Overall, it was a positive experience and I would certainly have another event there in the future.

Samuel's was very easy to work with and they provide you with the best service and overall value. Our reception turned out to be absolutely beautiful and enjoyable! The food was excellent and the attention that the staff at Samuel's gives to the wedding guests is unparalleled. I absolutely recommend SGM to anyone looking for a reception venue!

Samuels Grande Manor did a very nice job for our wedding. I would definently reccommend this vendor to a family member or a friend.

Sue and Bill did an awesome job with everyone at the Reception. They attended to the Bride and Groom, and to the Maid of Honor, Megan who need a glueten free dinner. The whole evening was PERFECT! Every detail right down to the end of the night cleanup. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Sue was extremely flexible in all the "hurried" details. She was always available to answer my questions. Congrats to Samuel's Grande Manor, the staff and thanks to Joe for gracious accomodating us! Thank you so much for the "PERFECT" wedding reception, best regards, CVlaudia

I thought that Samuel's was great and that the venue was perfect for our wedding of 115 people. We had the best time!!!

They made my day perfect. Anything I needed, they were there right away. Food was served in a very timely fashion...which was a big concern of mine. I did not want to be eating dinner for 2 hours and they really moved through it without feeling rushed. Just an all around perfect day. Mark one of the managers shoveled out the back walkway incase we wanted to go out there, and we did. I cannot say enought great things about them. Perfection, that's what they are!!

Our wedding reception was incredible. The food and the staff was wonderful. Thank you to Sue, who was our wedding coordinator. She helped plan our reception from beginning to end offering suggestions along the way. She was always professional, pleasant and answered all my questions throughout the planning process. I highly recommend Samuel's Grande Manor. They take the stress out of planning a fun filled night.

We planned our wedding at Samuel's Grand Manor from out of state. They were so helpful with questions in email and by phone. The in house DJ service was just as wonderful and easy to work with. The staff the evening of our wedding was pleasant. The manager checked on our event a few times during the evening and the server captain introduced himself to me with in minutes of our arrival offering me a drink and anything else I may have needed that evening. The food was good with plenty to go around. I had numerous comments from our guests saying that they enjoyed the food and evening as well. We were extremely please with this venue and service and recemmond it to anyone who wants to have one less thing to worry about on their wedding day.

We had the best time at our Wedding we had the West room and it was beautidfu with the huge cahndelier in the middle of the room and the dance floor was easy to access and the two enterances were convient and the staff was professional and attentive.. The food trust me if anyone went away hungry it was thier own fault with the two meat dinner and the delicious desserts and of course the bar it was a wonderful celebration and to think we almost didn't book our reception here due to the rude frist meeting I had had with Sue she was not friendly or welcomng at all so I walked away very dissapointed and if it werent for the general manager Mark calling me back who convinced us to give them another look and glad we did but after talking to other engaged people they had the same experience with the same person its a wonder why she is still there but it was a Beautiful day and the new bathrooms were great to.....

Marc was very wonderful and helped us with everything we needed!!! However when I called in on November 1st and spoke to a carol about my bill. She was very argumentative and very unprofessional about explaining the paperwork I did not receive in the mail. She kept telling me over and over again that I did get them in the mail and I explained to her that I was missing paperwork. I asked her to resend the paperwork to my email because I'm living out of state and she never sent them. Then on November 7th I received a call about my seating and spoke to a woman who does the arrangements of the table and she then put carol again on the phone and once again she was giving me a hard time about the seating telling me that there is going to be odd numbers of chairs to accompany 125. And that to me didn't seem right. So me and my husband went in on the 8th and spoke to marc who handled all the concerns that carol couldn't. She is very unprofessional and I believe if she is argumentative she shouldn't be in the profession of customer service!!!

Amazing Venue and Service. Everyone was so helpful to make our special day flawless. Thank you for all your hard work and effort.

Everything was terrific. We wish that there was a little more flexibility with final head counts. Especially because it was off season. Overall...we would highly recommend!

Samuel's was the perfect vendor for our wedding. The staff took such good care of us and thought of everything we didn't. I was very busy with other things while planning our wedding and the staff at Samuel's stepped in and assisted me. I would not change a single thing about my wedding. We chose most of our other vendor's based on the recommendations from Samuel's and they all were amazing. I would definitely recommend Samuel's for anyone looking to plan a stress free wedding or special event.

Everyone that my husband and I worked with at Samuel's Grande Manor were WONDERFUL from the start of our wedding planning. They went over every detail with us to ensure we had the easiest wedding day possible, and we did. They took care of everything. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent and they set up the room just how we had planned it to be. I have gotten so many comments already on how amazing our wedding was and we owe it all to Samuel's!

the staff at Samuels grande manor made my reception stress free and flow as if a professional wedding planner was in charge and planned the whole night. Although it was a very long night and a lot of planning was involved, id give anything to re-live my night and I believe the staff at samuels grande manor are a big reason why I feel this way.

I could not be more please with our experience at Samuels, the entire staff was very accomidating! And our evening was flawless. My guest still can not stop raving about how beautiful everything was and how great the service was at our reception! Great job guys! and thank you for a wonderful and memorable evening.

Great food and service... Was very happy

Staff very helpful and ready to answer any questions or concerns you might have

Samuel's was VERY helpful. The room was set up exactly as I pictured it. The staff was there to help us as soon as we arrived. They offered to cut the extra cake and wrap it in napkins for guests to take home. The room (Josephine) was clean and easy to navigate. After the reception they boxed all of my belongings up for me. Definitely recommend Samuel's for a reception venue!!

Cannot say enough good things about this venue! The food was AMAZING! Everyone was talking about it all night. We were married in their gardens out back which was absolutely beautiful. The staff assigned to our party was unbelievable as well. We even had the owner checking in with us throughout the night.
The wedding was perfect, thanks to all of our vendors and everyone at Samuel's!!!
Well worth the $$!

Samuel's Grande Manor provided excellent service and professionalism and made us feel that they would do everything they could to make our wedding special. The staff was attentive, caring and always available to answer our questions and be flexible with last minute changes even on our wedding day. I highly recommend Samuel's to anyone that wants to have a classy, elegant affordable wedding!

I would recommend Samuel's Grande Manor to anyone. Their professionalism makes wedding planning so easy with them. My wedding was perfect! The food quality was very important to my husband and I and Sue at Samuels made sure everything was perfect!

We had our wedding at Samuel's Grande Manor on 8/27/11. Everything exceeded our expectations! The food was amazing! We had several guests comment that this was the "best wedding" they had been to in a long time! We also had our ceremony in the gazebo and garden. It was beautiful! My only minor issue is that we were a little rushed for pictures after the ceremony because there was another ceremony scheduled immediately after. Samuel's did attempt to accommodate us with this issue by extending our cocktail hour by 15 minutes with no hesitation. They also brought our wedding party cocktails and hors d'oeuvres during pictures. That did help make things a little less rushed. Every wedding receives a "captain" for the entire day of the wedding. Our captain was Reneea (sp?). She was phenomenal! She was so attentive and there for us throughout every step of the day! I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us! The rest of the staff were just as great! They were very accommodating and friendly! Honestly, you cannot beat the value either. The price was the most reasonable for the service that we found in the area! We would highly recommend them for a wedding or any other gathering!

The party was extremely wonderful. However, a few complaints, there was no plate for Rob and I to place our cake slice on to share it for pictures, there were no favors set at the head table, I (the bride) was ignored at the bar a couple of times, and the biggest issue I had, the band, guests, myself and Rob wanted to extend the reception, like we were told we could do. Unfortunately, the "Captain" of the room told us we had to leave, her name was Pat by the way. But for the most part, it was a great time.

We had our wedding Aug of 2011, the all around experience for us and for our guests was spectacular! Everyone raved about how great the food was and the dessert presentation was adorable. I emailed the manager and other coordinators throughout the whole process and they were quick to respond and very accommodating. They went out of their way to make our day perfect and I'm sure they do every time. I give Samuel's five stars!!!!!

The staff over at Samuel's has always been great to work with. The Quality and Service we see them give to the Bride and groom is great. Great choice for a wedding, the grounds always look clean and well maintained. Good choice for Photographs Too

Samulels is definitely at the top of our recommended venues! Very professional management staff, always available to take care of anything you need!

So elegant and beautiful .We are always excited to do a wedding here because we know how wonderful it will look when we are done.

I have worked with Samuel's for many years and they are wonderful, very professional and cooperative.

My brides also give me great feedback about the experience of having their reception at Samuel's.

We have worked together with Samuels Grande Manor for over 30 years, and they have never been less than perfect. Great people to work with, and the Service is awesome. Your meal is like going to a 5 star restaurant and ordering off the menu, nothing like most "banquet quality" meals you find at other venues.

Samuels Grande manor is just that ! A very high class elegant venue for the sophisticated bride. Impeccable service and high standards make them one of wny's most popular yet reasonably priced venues. Amazing Gardens, scrumptous food and top notch customer service are their best qualities.

We always enjoy photographing a wedding at Samuel's Grande Manor. The property is a beautiful backdrop for portraits. The staff is always wonderful to work with and the food is delicious. They recommend our photography and I never hesitate to recommend them right back.

Samuel's Grande Manor has always been very accommodating and helpful to us as a vendor and our brides have always been extremely pleased with their overall service. To top it off their food is first rate! You can't go wrong with Samuel's Grande Manor as your wedding venue.

We have always been very happy to work with Samuel's Grande Manor. Since we are right down the street we have worked with them frequently always resulting in gorgeous events. There facilities are very elegant.

Working with Mark and his team of professionals is always a pleasure. They are so flexible and easy to work with. Samual's has everything an engaged couple could want. The patios lead to beautiful gardens and a large gazebo perfect for an outdoor ceremonies. The interior is stunning and will accommodate the intimate or extravagant reception. Their menu offers delicious selections that are priced right. All that with valet parking and coat check! Hats off to you Mark!! From my calendar it looks like I'll be seeing you SOON!!
