Babeville

Amazing wedding venue.  Huge space with the perfect band set up... bonus points for the amazing windows.

Definitely a unique place to host a large event.

By far the best concert venue in Buffalo.  A beautiful old church that has been restored and renovated by none other than the musician Ani DiFranco.  The interior is warm and welcoming and retains the charm of a historic church but without all the cobwebs and creaking floorboards.  The bathrooms are clean with plenty of stalls for the ladies! I didn't have to wait to use the bathroom at any point.

Downstairs the cellar has been turned into another small venue perfect for comedy shows and small concerts.  Yet again, everything is clean and cozy and not at all what you would expect when you hear "cellar."

The acoustics are fantastic in either the hall or the cellar and the lighting is equally as impressive.  The ONLY downside to this venue is there aren't enough events! I would go out of my way to see concerts here.  Absolutely fantastic.

Asbury Hall is owned by Ani Difranco. It's a gorgeous venue with an interesting and warm color scheme of light greens and peaches and whites with hardwood floors, stage, and balcony. The acoustics are absolutely amazing for any kind of event. You walk in and instantly feel like you are somewhere special. My husband and I fell in love with this place and we had our wedding here.  Our ceremony was done on the main floor and we had Balloon Masters hang string lights from balcony to balcony over the main floor making everything look sparkly and magical. Cocktail hour was in the basement with a deep mahogany bar and natural stone all around. The room where all the girls got ready was totally rockstar with vintage couches, poster walls, and more natural stone all around. SO many opportunities for amazing photo opportunities, my photographer was in heaven!

We were catered to like any bride and groom hope to be and then some. It was wonderful. Austin Scaccia is an amazing event coordinator. He made sure that everything and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect for our big day. He helped calm many bridal nerves by staying calm and collected and helping me put together my perfect wedding. Nothing was too much for his staff either. I had an attendant almost all night that seemed to always appear when I needed her. When I was feeling really anxious she was there to offer juice or crackers to settle my stomach. She was always asking if there was anything I needed. I felt like a queen. The rest of the staff was courteous, attentive, and incredibly professional. Both my husband and I had an attendant for dinner where they made our plates for us, poured our wine and got us anything we needed so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy.

The catering for Asbury is done exclusively by Exquisite Catering, the same company as the likes of Bacchus in downtown Buffalo. The food was exceptional and far beyond normal "wedding food." The bar was awesome and Austin even threw in an extra hour free of charge and we had 2 signature drinks! Every part of Asbury Hall exceeded our wildest expectations for such an important day.

And honestly, the place and catering weren't cheap but for everything we got for our money- it was worth every penny. And your venue, food, and bar should be about half your budget anyway. I would pay it over and over again for this kind of service. We still get compliments about the evening almost a year later.

If you need to know anything else about Asbury please feel free to message me for an additional personal rec. I cannot say enough about this amazing venue. Worth every penny and one of the best decisions I made regarding our wedding plans. Amazing amazing amazing. I wish I could give it 92384928349298798 stars.
