“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!!”

“Do you want to have a completely stress-free wedding day and planning experience? Then book your wedding here. Throughout the year I had to plan my wedding at BWH, I had countless people ask me if I was stressed, or comment that I seemed pretty relaxed for planning a wedding. That’s because Sharon S. and BWH’s recommended vendors make having a wedding here the most seamless and worry free experience. Everyone is so easy and fun to work with and made everything a breeze. Our family and wedding party noted how professional and coordinated everybody was- they run a tight ship! I can’t recommend this venue enough, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Everything went perfectly- thank you so much Sharon!”
