Cyndi D'Avignon

Sales and Social Media Manager

I opened the Admiral Room- 7 years ago. But I've been with our management company for 22 years.

My favorite part of my job is meeting newly engaged couples that are just starting this journey and we get to assisting them. They are filled with so much excitement. Often times this is a person's lifelong dream come true and we get to be a part of it. Because every day if different, it keeps the job exciting.

Outside the office, you’ll find me in my garden or obsessing over my family.

A Historic Past

The Admiral Room, located in downtown Buffalo, is a prominent event space known for its historical significance and architectural beauty. Housed in the former Marine Trust Building, which is a landmark in its own right, the Admiral Room combines historical elegance with modern amenities. It's a popular choice for hosting a variety of events, including weddings, corporate gatherings, and social celebrations.

There is so much historic charm in the Marin Building. Known today as The Marin, formerly the Main Seneca Building. Originally the Marine Midland Trust Company Building — a 17‑story high-rise on the corner of Main and Seneca in downtown Buffalo.

The architectural style: Designed by E.B. Green’s firm (Green & Wicks) in Renaissance Revival (Italian Renaissance) style and completed in April 1913 in just nine months. It served as headquarters for Marine Midland Bank (later HSBC) until they moved to the taller Seneca One Tower right next door.
