“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!!”

First of all, congratulations!!! We are so glad you are interested in our event center! We are now open in the American National Bank Building, 302 Main Street. The 12,000 square foot area will easily seat 400 guests {300 on main level + 100 upstairs}; however, it is easy to make the space seem more quaint for smaller parties. We have a private parking lot in the back and the corner lot allows for ample street parking. Our elegant + industrial look is complete with a grand staircase, a "U" shaped balcony that overlooks the dance floor, a bank vault converted to a ready room, and an additional large suite/ready room with plenty of mirrors and plug-ins! The strategically placed lighting {most of which are on dimmers} will create the most perfect ambiance and decorating can be minimal!

  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

“The Grand Bankquet Hall is a venue unlike any other in our area. It is an architectural beauty that the owners have meticulously curated into a gorgeous event space. It is nestled perfectly in a historic downtown setting, and can create such an elegant wedding experience. It has built in beautiful elements with the natural light that filters in from the windows, gorgeous chandeliers, and accents of retained elements from its days serving as a local bank. It comes with a complete bridal and groom suite to get ready in. It serves not only as a reception venue, but the perfect place for wedding photographs and can accommodate a wedding ceremony. Leah and her team are truly amazing and easy to work with. They continue to update and add new elements to the venue. It is such a versatile space, and can be transformed into any style of wedding that you desire. We were one of the first couples to use the space when it opened in 2019, and we could not recommend this venue more!”
