Astoria Banquets & Events

he entire planning process, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, which made what could have been a stressful time feel smooth and enjoyable. It was so easy to just text him whenever we had questions throughout our planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. Max was flexible, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our vision came to life. He went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality, and we’re so grateful for that. The venue itself is beautiful, and so many of our guests complimented both the space and how well everything was organized. It created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. On top of everything, we felt the value was outstanding for what we received. We would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, memorable wedding experience.

de everything easy from including centerpieces to being able to swap out late night snacks for a chuppah rental. The manager(?) brought us cocktail hour snacks when we were upstairs in the bridal suite so we could eat.

onal, and kind throughout the entire process and especially on the day of our wedding. Everything ran so smoothly, from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception.

absolutely loved ! Everybody was raving about the place & many of our guests want to come back for parties of their own! The food was phenomenal ! Set up was beautiful ! We were told by all our guests that the ceremony set up & service was hands down the greatest ceremony they have ever seen! They said the reception was equally as amazing! We could not have asked for a better wedding THANK YOU !!! (Seriously the staff is out of this world !!!!!!!)

asy to work with. The prices are definitely affordable, and the packages can be customized a little bit to truly make your day perfect! The food was amazing, all my guests loved the food. They were able to cater to gluten-free restrictions without any cross contamination! The venue was truly perfect and it was truly a dream come true! Can't recommend Astoria enough!

d courtyard! The abundance of available parking was a perk too. Max was super responsive and very clear about pricing and expectations, and the planning forms took a lot of the pressure off of us. He helped us plan every detail and did it with a smile! Would highly recommend!

reception there and both were perfect. They were able to accommodate my small wedding of 55 guests and I loved that everything was included. The service was amazing, everyone was so helpful and just went out of their way to make our day special and worry free.

ul. Max lets you pick and choose what we can cut out and keep in for the all inclusive wedding package. The food is stellar and our guests were raving about all the food. Do yourself a favor if you don’t want to have to worry about a single thing, Astoria Banquets has your covered. Breathtaking venue with even better staff. Thanks Max and Isabel for making our wedding night so memorable!

n February 4, 2023. They catered to our every need, not only did they shovel snow for us to take outdoor pictures in the middle of winter, they turned down the heat when I was too HOT! (clearly why I’m a winter bride) Everything from the soup to the chicken was AMAZING! And by the end of the night the staff at Astoria becomes like your family! Max and his team, the bartenders, waitstaff, and security, everyone is so amazing and so happy for you and YOUR big day. Like they don’t do this every single night. And a big thank you to Leo who was there for us whenever we needed him! Thanks for an amazing night, I would 110% recommend Astoria Banquets and Events! And take them up on their recommended DJs and Hotels. It takes the hassle out of everything. We had James Mastrino, DJUj Mobile Music Lights & Entertainment. He was outstanding at his job!

lpful! Going in I had no idea what to expect, but they certainly paved the way and made my day even more special! I can't thank them enough for all the help and support!

rom the music if they wanted. We love the different packages offered and how customizable everything is. Staff were professional and friendly. Max was great to work with and made sure everything we wanted, they delivered and understood. Max was also very helpful during rehearsal and helping me (the bride) make sure everyone understood process, walking order and little details. Food and tasting process was great, the attention the Chef gave us to make sure we understood everything was really great. All around very pleased with Max and Astoria and wish we could re-live it all again!

elegant! It’s everything I always wanted for my wedding day. We had no issues the day of. Everything was put out exactly as I requested it be. Our guests has the best time! I highly recommend booking with Astoria!

Max helped us handle it with ease... just like everything else that had to be planned for this venue. Max took literally all of my stress away every time I talked with him, he was extremely easy to work and communicate with and like I said our day was perfect. I couldn't have imagined anything different. I recommend Astoria to EVERYONE I know that's getting married or holding an event. The food was AMAZING... everyone still talks about it to this day. The venue was gorgeous, we got so many compliments about everything from this day. This day would not have been possible without Max and everything he did to help us get to that point. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Isabel! She made sure things ran smoothly and even accommodated some guests that were delayed getting to the reception and made sure they got their food. The staff- FABULOUS. I have worked in catering, waitressing, bartending, etc and they exceeded my expectations. I truly could not be more impressed with how everything turned out. Thank you to everyone at Astoria for giving us the best day of our lives!!

isn't "all inclusive" During our final walkthrough we realized we would have to pay extra for ceremony decorations (something that I wish would have been told to us at signing). We were told we wouldn't really need a wedding coordinator as the venue will be able to be there for us. Thank God we chose to get a Month-of-coordinator. The owners of the venue did not come and assist with the wedding and did not tell me, my husband, or my coordinator of this change. So when we arrived we had no clue who to talk to. An the people there did not speak English fluently so it was a big language barrier. My Ceremony Dress was ruined before the ceremony in their get-ready suite. When me and planner expressed our concerns about my dress we were met with little to no help. All they did was replace the chair. But the venue did not have any products to get the big stain out and I legit CRIED. Ceremony went beautiful. However the cocktail hour, they had our guests wait in a long line to receive their appetizers and ultimately ran out of food before everyone could eat. We had 11 guests not show up and again spent over 11K on this venue and to run out of food was ridiculous. The open bar did not have our signature drinks until 9pm. Ceremony started at 5pm. During Reception time we requested for an upgraded sweetheart table and did not receive it. Additionally, I had a totally different layout from what was discussed during the final walk through. We ended up having guests being bunched up on each other and during COVID I didn't think this was the safest Idea and you could barely walk through tables. It got HOT and QUICK. The food during dinner, while delicious my husband and I chicken was cold. An the wait staff kept coming up to try to take our plates. We were not finished. Our coordinator had to let them know to stop walking up on us and wait for us to finish. The waitstaff was just plain rude. the hiccups we experienced were unforgivable and while Astoria did pay for dress to be cleaned, I feel that these issues would have not risen if Max or Lora was there to assist. It was definitely a learning experience for this Venue. I'm sure if the owners are there, your wedding will go off without a hitch (I have a friend who was married here and the owners showed and she had zero issues). I will never be able to get this day back and I was never able to take pictures in my Ceremony dress. It still hurts one month later. I hope that my experience would not happen to anyone else

tyle. I felt like I didn't have to do much. Max was very communicative and helped us through the process. He explained everything in great details, including the price and payments. There were no surprised charges at all. The food turned out really good. All my guests couldn't stop talking about it. My wedding couldn't be anymore perfect and effortless, thanks to the amazing team at the Astoria.

nue was to die for! Very well decorated. It was beautiful!! They truly made my “dream” wedding come true. The only thing I had noticed though was that our seating chart and set-up was wrong. The numbering wasn’t correct.. Unfortunately, all weddings don’t go as planned though..My grandmother also suffered a stroke during our ceremony and because of this reason, many people missed our wedding night due to them being in the hospital. The banquet hall manager we had was a little rude at first and had told me everyone was all over the place and that many people were missing. I had explained to him what had happened earlier and he was a bit more understanding after that. Also, because of my family emergency, things at my wedding were running a bit late. My husband ended up taking over as well and made things go quicker so we were able to still dance towards the end. Overall, I know this wasn’t anyone’s fault and we can’t always have control. Thank you to the Astoria Banquets staff for making our wedding night beautiful. —Brenda&Jesse

about anything!! don't get me started on the food, my guest have not stopped talking about it!! we got the combo plate of filet and chicken champagne and the fish plate (salmon) everything was cooked to perfection and I'm pretty sure no plate went back empty!! I will recommend Astoria to anyone who is looking for a venue!!!

g I planned it to be … thanks again see ya soon

rdinator were great as well.

to the food and helpful staff, they have my 5 stars hands down 🥰

ew times due to the pandemic they worked with me through it all I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. I love them and appreciate all they have done ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Lora and Astoria

ng pandemic. I had to cut down my guest list but I was still had my dances with my husband and family. I would definitely come back to celebrate my wedding anniversary here.

w closely Lora and Max worked with me and my husband to personalize every single detail to make the day truly remarkable and memorable. From handpicking the decor for each of the guest tables to dancing on a cloud, we had such a beautiful ceremony and reception. Lora and Max really worked overtime to bring our vision to life. More importantly, they worked to ensure that our wedding was safe for all people attending. They have truly incorporated CDC guidelines for gatherings and I felt comfortable having a wedding in the midst of a national health pandemic because of it. Despite having to cut our guest list in half, we had a ball and the room was filled with love, positive energy, and joy and happiness and I am so grateful that Astoria hosted our special day. Other notes: the food was amazing, especially for "wedding food" that I have had at other weddings, which unfortunately, is usually subpar. It was way above average and flavorful, which was important to us and our guests. We were able to have signature drinks to reflect the theme of our wedding, which was so fun. Astoria has a great relationship with the Baking Institute, so the cake included in our package was absolutely beautiful and decorated so elegantly with our wedding colors and accents. 10/10 would highly recommend Astoria for your wedding venue.

ad my wedding here in October. Everyone was so nice and patient. I sent multiple emails etc. and every time they responded with urgency. They got everything my husband and I wanted for our special day. We will forever remember this day. :)

egant and beautiful ballroom wedding that served a family style dinner. Astoria did not disappoint. We booked our wedding date, 9/21/19, less than two weeks after our first visit back in January 2018. The owners, Lora and Max were so accommodating with our questions and requests throughout the entire wedding planning process. They helped ease our stress about little details, allowed us to bring in our bins of supplies a few days before the wedding, and even set up all of our decorations,favors, place cards,etc. Our wedding turned out better than we could have imagined! Our guests loved the passed appetizers during cocktail hour, loved the drinks, and raved about the dinner! Our DJ told us, our wedding will be one that our friends and family will talk about for years to come because it was absolutely perfect! We even had a number of our guests say that they never have been to a more beautiful, elegant, and organized wedding than ours! Thank you again Lora and Max for all of your help during the wedding planning process! We couldn't have had our dream wedding without you!

e made the insanity of planning our reception so smooth and easy! When we walked into our reception, we were so pleased with the elegance of the room, decorations, and lights. Loved everything! Thank you Astoria staff and Max for helpings us celebrate our fairytale!

w beautifully the area was transformed for the wedding ceremony. It was absolutley breathtaking. Everything from the way the chairs were arranged, the lighting, the backdrop, the decor was like something out of a fairytale. The passed appetizers during cocktail hour were delicious & plentiful. The room was transformed again during cocktail hour to a beautiful welcoming dinner/reception area. Plenty of room, good food presentation & an abundance of delicious food. The entire experience was wonderful. The owners were there to make any adjustments needed and plenty of staff to help the entire evening run smoothly. 5 stars does not seem like enough.

s and dinner was delicious and they set up the venue exactly how we wanted it with all of the personal decor we brought in. More than 5 star . All of our guest commented on how beautiful it was . The owners made their wedding dreams come true . Highly recommend

r. The process was so smooth in choosing all our decor to our menu. Most venues we check out the ceremony did not even feel special with Astoria you get everything you dreamed of. Our experience was amazing and we are still getting compliments on how beautiful our wedding was. Thank you Max and his staff who are wonderful! We are forever grateful for Astoria in making our wedding day extra special!

ponds promptly! Laura also assisted us and very accommodating. The staff were very nice. Parking is not a problem. They also have a patio area where we set up an outside vendor for an ice cream cart. Their prices are very reasonable since they decorate the place very well and we were satisfied. They were very flexible with all the requests that we had for our big day! Thank you for making it all happen!
