Luxury Wedding Inspiration

A recent wedding of Gretchen and Andrew at the Admiral Room had all the romantic, luxury feels with a Parisian Flair.
Looking for luxury wedding inspiration that’s equal parts timeless and unforgettable? This elegant wedding is the definition of modern romance — set in a grand historic venue, with dreamy décor, custom details, and cinematic moments that guests will remember forever.
The reception was filled with unforgettable moments — but their first dance stole the show. Surrounded by low-lying fog and sparklers erupting in the background, the groom lifted his bride in a scene that felt pulled from the final scene of a movie. It was a true showstopper, a cinematic memory guests won’t soon forget.

One of the most whimsical details? A custom ice sculpture in the shape of the Eiffel Tower — a nod to romance and adventure, and perhaps even the couple’s love story. It served as both a functional vodka luge and a conversation piece, blending playful luxury with visual impact.
A Timeless Wedding Venue with Grand Architecture
This unforgettable celebration took place in one of the city’s most iconic historic wedding venues, where soaring ceilings, stately columns, and arched windows created a striking yet romantic setting. The couple chose a soft, neutral palette of whites and golds to complement the natural beauty of the space, allowing the architecture to shine while adding just the right amount of glamour.
If you’re dreaming of a romantic wedding venue with elegant architecture, this space proves how impactful the right backdrop can be.

Every detail of this day, from the fashion to the florals, from the music to the lighting was beautiful.  It was a wedding that proved you can honor tradition while embracing modern flair. It was elegant, yes — but also filled with energy, personality, and heart.
This wasn’t just a wedding — it was an experience. One that felt as grand as it was personal, as stylish as it was sincere.

Real Luxury wedding in Buffalo NY – Sarah & Brian

church wedding Sarah and Brian
just married

Are you considering a black and white luxury wedding in Buffalo Niagara area…..  look no further than the http://www.admiralroom.com.  Our spotlight couple met in college at St. Bonaventure University. http://www.stbonaventureuniversity.com They started dating our sophomore year in college and look at them now.

For their wedding theme they wanted classic, romantic and elegant. We both always loved black and white, and our vision came to life with all of our details from the day. Throughout the room they had bud vases with roses, tons of candles, beautiful candelabras.  The bridal party wore black dresses, and the men were in black tuxes.  A stunning champagne tower was showcased in the room.

Lots of thought went into the first dance song, we listened to so many this past summer on our way home from our annual vacation to cape cod. When we heard the classic “can’t help falling in love with you” by Elvis we both loved it and kept going back to it. This was also my Papas favorite song who passed away in 2016. This song tied in perfect with our love and classic theme. For our parents we both picked it out with them. With my dad and I specific, we started slow and then to get the party started danced to our favorite song “Low” which we used to dance together with at dance competitions growing up.  Have fun with this.
When looking at wedding venues, nothing else compared to the Admiral Room. It was totally our vibe, and we could see ourselves getting married here and having the best party of our lives. The classic marble and gold esthetic tied in perfect with our vision and we knew that this was the place we had to get married at- never did we think we would have a November wedding, but we were willing to wait for a Saturday that you guys had! The day was perfect, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The staff was amazing and helped a ton.  The food, music and decor were amazing!

Sarah and Brian wanted to share some advice for all newly engaged couples.  Enjoy wedding planning and take in every moment! The Admiral Room is the perfect place to have your special day, and we will cherish the place and our day forever.   During your engagement process be sure to ask questions and don’t let the little things cause stress. It’s easier said then done but it’s not worth it! Let people help you. The staff at the Admiral room is fantastic and they made our planning experience amazing! They brought our vision to life and we couldn’t be happier!

10 Commonly overlooked Wedding Day must haves in Buffalo NY

Uncategorized

It’s always a great idea to have your fiancé, parents, and of course your wedding party on the same page with last-minute details. Here are some pointers that will make your day less stressful.

Preplanning you can avoid these common forgotten things and focus on enjoying your perfect wedding day.

  1. Wedding Day Emergence Kit

Include items such as safety pins, sewing kit ,stain remover, pain relievers, band-aids, double sided tape for quick fixes.  Some couples share these items with their guests and place a basket in the bathrooms or have a bridal suite kit.  Life savers are great ! And a stick of caulk- as it covers up make up stains

  1. Comfortable Wedding Shoes

While many brides envision wearing beautiful heels, your feet will start to ache and you may have some fun sneakers, or logoed shoes.   We have seen Zumba style shoes or white sneakers to enjoy dancing.  Many brides bring flip flops or ballet style slippers as a favor or gift to the ladies.

  1. Wedding Day Timeline

Staying organized is crucial for a seamless wedding day.  You want to make sure everyone is on the same page.  A great idea is texting a  detailed timeline to vendors, bridal party, and family in the morning, they can always refer back to their text.  You can also distribute paper copies, you minimize confusion and ensure events flow smoothly.

 

 

  1. Extra Phone Charger

Almost every wedding people have forgot their phone charger in the midst of a busy day.  Hopefully we can help you out on this but we cant guarantee, so it’s a great idea if you want to stay connected to your bridal party or vendors.

 

  1. Prepare for Weather

Luckly the Admiral Room is an indoor event space, but you don’t want to mess up your fresh hair with rain or snow.  Prepare by putting an umbrella, shawl or sunscreen in your bag.

  1. Touch up kit

Included lipstick, powder, tissues, blotting paper, a small mirror to freshen up.

 

  1. Wedding folder- have a copy of all your notes- including copies on timeline, vendor contract, guest list, table designs and assigned tables. This is not for you!! Give this to a family member of a bridesmaid to refer to if need be.
  2. Marriage License Make sure its signed, sealed and ready to go.  Assign someone to bring it to the ceremony.
  3. Cash or tips for vendors- To stay organized have small envelopes ready for gratuities or any unexpected expenses.

10 Personalized Vows   – Have a copy of your personalized vows tucked in your dress or suit.  Personalized vows allow you to share your emotions, memories and hopes in your own words.

Venue OPEN HOUSE

Uncategorized

Open House

Planning your wedding can be one of the most exciting experiences of your life. The biggest decision that sets the tone for your big day is choosing the perfect venue for you two!

 

An open house is a perfect opportunity for the couple to envision their big day and determine if the space aligns with their vision.  While researching venues in  http://www.buffalony.comand browsing photos is helpful, nothing beats the experience of visiting the space in person.   The Admiral Roomhttp://www.admiralroom.com has been doing our own Wedding Open House/ Wedding Showcase since we opened in 2018.

Wedding venue open houses give you a unique opportunity to gather details, interact with the venue staff, and even meet potential wedding vendors.

What will you get from attending an Open Houses

  1. See the venue and not just in photos. Some of our couples have not had the opportunity to visit the Admiral room in the evening with the sun setting through the beautiful large windows. Then once it dark out enjoy the surrounding up-lights with our colorful lighting system.
  2. They allow you to evaluate the layout and see the flexibility to accommodate your event
  3. You’ll get a much better idea of whether the space matches your vibe!
  4. Visualize your custom wedding and see all the upgrades available:
    We will stage a area to reflect what a wedding there could look like—a fully set tablescape, decorated ceremony spaces, decorative backdrops, lighting, and music. This gives you a real sense of how the venue might look and feel during your big day.
  5. Meet the staff/ venue team in person:
    A venue’s staff plays a huge role in ensuring your wedding goes smoothly. Meeting them in person at an open house gives you a chance to see how friendly, professional, and knowledgeable they are. Building a good relationship with the venue team early on is important to keep your stress down.
  6. Meet Vendors and see their work-  Open houses usually include other wedding vendors like our favorite florists,  photographers, DJ’s videographers makeup and hair companies, hotels,  parking, cake/ dessert companies.  This is a great opportunity to speak with vendors that the venue highly recommends and see samples of their work.  Weddings by Gianna helped coordinate a photo shoot on the same day while all the vendors were in attendance.http://www.weddingsbygianna.com

Here are a few pictures from the OPEN HOUSE 2024

 

Our Open House takes place in February as the “engagement season” is in full swing.  It is advantageous to come as some vendors offer a booking incentive.   Some vendors offer a discount or offer a special.

Bring you fiancée, parents or maid of honor and come for a fun and informative night out.   Take lots of photos of different set-ups, floor plan designs and tablescapes.  Come prepared with questions.  For all our out-of-town couples have someone attend in your place and facetime the couple. It’s worth it- you will gain so much knowledge.

Here is a list of our 2025 OPEN HOUSE vendors.

Real Wedding 9/1/2024

A recent interview with Mary Margaret and John. 

Where did you meet?  Of all places, we met at the World’s Largest Disco,   http://www.theworldlargestdisco.com in 2019 when we bumped into each other and our mutual friend introduced us! After spending the rest of the night dancing and chatting, we were pretty inseparable from then on — and we haven’t missed a Disco since!

 
John proposed to me on June 30, 2023 underneath the bridge at Delaware Park. My parents were in town from Texas and we were going to meet them and John’s parents at the Terrace for dinner but went to the park early to catch up with his sister beforehand, little did I know it was all a trick to get me there! We walked to the bridge and he got down on one knee under the bridge, unbeknownst to me, both of our parents were standing on top of the bridge and watched the whole thing and his sister was there in the bushes taking pictures of the proposal. One of the best days ever!
wedding ceremony and reception
Admiral Room weddings
The night of our engagement, John had told a few friends to meet us on the rooftop of the Curtiss Hotel for drinks after we finished up with dinner, so we celebrated with our closest friends the night of! Since we got engaged the weekend before the 4th of July, John’s whole family threw us a huge engagement party on July 3rd filled with some of our favorite things: family, cornhole, and sparklers at the end of the night!

wedding ceremony Admiral Room
For our ceremony at The Admiral Room, we really wanted it to be personal. We wrote all of our own vows to exchange to each other during the ceremony, and John’s cousin married us because she’s known us throughout our relationship so everything was special and nothing was typical. Since we met at the Disco and love music and dancing, we based a lot of our reception off of that — disco vibes! We told our band, Big City Horns, http://www.bigcityhorns.com to kick off the music with “Dancing Queen” to get the vibes going from the start, and we really danced the night away with our friends and family! We never left the dance floor!

From before we even got engaged, I knew there was really only one place I wanted to get married. Every inch of the Admiral Roomhttp://www.admiralroom.com is so stunning and I loved looking at the different pictures on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/admiral_roomto see how everyone makes the space so unique and their own, and I feel like we did that too with where we positioned the dance floor and our tables. Friends and family still talk about how gorgeous the venue was!

We spent a lot of time picking out our first dance song; we wanted it to be special but also feel like us, so for the entire summer before our wedding, every time we’d  take our dog on a walk, we would listen to a few different songs that we were choosing between. We ultimately picked Precious Love by James Morrison because we loved that it was upbeat and we loved the lyrics. My first dance with my dad was Tiny Dancer by Elton John because it was always one of our favorite songs. John and his mom picked Somewhere Over The Rainbow because she used to sing that to him every night when she rocked him to sleep. 
After we spent the whole morning apart while we were getting ready, I loved that we did a first look and took photos before the ceremony so we got to spend so much time together on our wedding day. Our ceremony was so beautiful and I loved every second of it, but easily the best part of our wedding day was the reception!! The Admiral Room made it so incredibly seamless and transformed the most beautiful room into the biggest and best party we’ve ever thrown!

We 1000% recommend using the Admiral Room as your wedding venue! Every single part of our favorite day was absolutely perfect and it’s all thanks to the tireless work of Cyndi, Kate and Josh!

Kid friendly weddings in Buffalo NY, ideas to keep kids busy

Uncategorized

You can customize your wedding style at the Admiral Room and you can choose to have children attend your specical day.  Some couple’s welcome children, especially close family members while others prefer an adult only reception due to potential disruptions and considerations like venue decor items and budget.   Either way it is important to clearly communicate on the invitation if children are invited or not.   Many of our couples will have children attend that are family.  This allows close family members to celebrate together including children who are important to the couple, like meaningful “jobs” like a flower girl or ring of bearer rolls.   Consider hiring a sitter http://www.care.com at the event or possibly at a nearby hotel that will come and get the children and take them back to the hotel or nearby house. 

Ultimately the couple should decide what feels right for their special day.

If you have a Kid-Friendly wedding here are some Ideas for Wedding Receptions at The Admiral Room http://www.admiralroom.com

Planning a wedding at The Admiral Room means curating an event that is as memorable as it is elegant. But when your guest list includes little ones, balancing sophistication with fun can feel like a challenge.

Here’s a listing of some delightful ideas to make your wedding reception enjoyable for all-  adults and children alike.

1. Creative Activity Stations Set up dedicated spaces with coloring books, puzzles, or craft supplies. (make sure you do not bring permanent marker or a tough to remove glue.   Tailor the themes to your wedding motif, like nautical-inspired art projects that nod to The Admiral Room’s classic elegance or the buildings’ nautical theme.  Kids love expressing themselves, and these activities can keep them engaged for hours.   Create a scavenger hunt for how many “boats” logos are in the ceiling, can they find the black sea-horses in the room?  How many pillars are in the room?  is there a fireplace? 

2. Kid-Friendly Snacks & Treats Curate a special kid-friendly snack table complete with mini sandwiches and cookies. Adding a candy bar or a small dessert station with an assortment of toppings allows kids to get creative while satisfying their sweet tooth.

3. Interactive Entertainment Consider hiring child-friendly entertainers such as magicians, balloon artists. These performers can captivate the kids and ensure that parents can relax and enjoy the evening’s events. For an extra special touch, a storytime corner with a reader telling whimsical tales adds a layer of charm.

4. Movie Corner for Downtime Sometimes, kids need a quiet break from all the excitement. Set up a cozy nook with pillows, bean bags, and a screen showing family-friendly movies. This not only keeps the kids entertained but gives them a chance to wind down while the adults continue to celebrate.

6. Kid-Approved Favors When the night comes to a close, surprise young guests with favors they’ll cherish. Ideas include glow sticks or small plush toys. Thoughtful, age-appropriate gifts ensure that the children leave with smiles on their faces.

At The Admiral Room, we understand that including thoughtful touches for kids makes for a well-rounded and unforgettable wedding experience. With these ideas, your celebration can shine as brightly for the youngest guests as it does for the adults, creating cherished memories for all.

Let’s plan your big day and ensure every guest, no matter their age, has a magical time at The Admiral Room.

   Show some love to our local wedding venue partners.

Balancing traditions on your wedding day

Uncategorized

Balancing tradition with personal style in a wedding can be a beautiful way to honor your roots while making the day uniquely yours. Never have we seen such a time we you can do just about anything.  Make it your love story!!

Here are a few ways to approach it:

1. Prioritize Meaningful Traditions Focus on traditions that resonate with you and your fiancé, whether they hold family significance or have a cultural or religious meaning.  Couples are finding creative ways to balance traditions and modernity in their ceremony and reception.

2. Blend Old and New Mix traditional elements with modern touches, like adding classic decor but with a contemporary twist.

3. Personalize Rituals If there are rituals or customs that don’t fully align with your vision, consider modifying them. 25 years ago everyone participated in the garter toss.  This is where the groom would remove the garter from the bride and tosses it into a crowd of single men.   We have not seen the toss but a few times at the Admiral Room. Instead, you could have a photo taken of the single guests and look back on this a few years later to see the differences.  Make it your own!

4.  Incorporate Personal Elements:

When you think of your wedding day, it is easy to focus heavily on the reception, but incorporating traditional elements can help anchor the day for its deeper meaning. A first look or first touch with a prayer or private vows, a unity event during your ceremony, a traditional blessing, or a private dinner can be beautiful ways to uphold the day’s significance while still leaving room for dancing and celebration.  We have seen a variety of wonderful ideas.  Let us know you are interested in any of these, and we will assist you in the planning.

When you choose a locally owned wedding venue you are helping to develop and improve the local economy? It’s true, your locally owned wedding venues are small business owners who not only create hundreds of jobs for the local wedding industry every year, we actively support our local economy.

  • Commission artwork of your dog to include on invitations, the event program, or other signage
  • Have a drawing on your cocktail napkins
Attention couples of fur babies: We’ve compiled some of the most adorable pet wedding photos from the http://www.admiralroom.com .
See some of the ideas so you can include your favorite best friend, your dog, into your special day.   Whether you own a cat, dog, rabbit, reptile, there are many ways to have your animal play a special role in the big day.
When considering pet wedding ideas, first take into account your pet’s demeanor and whether your venue, http://www.admiralroom.com allows pets on the premises.
Many couples choose to have their furry companions present for the “I dos” and reception festivities. Have your dog walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids, or stand with the groomsmen as you say your vows.
We have seen dogs here dress in bow ties or a tutu.   Give your pup a bowtie that matches those of the groomsmen, or a little dress so your fur baby can be an honorary flower “dog”.
We have a wonderful recommendation of a pet sitter for your animal (just not dogs):

She has an entire brochure on wedding packages she offers.  Here’s an example:
     Happy Taills Furever Package-
     Meet and greet
    Pet chauffer service from your home to venue, venue to home
    Assistance during the first look photos, ceremony and walking down the aisle and reception
   Coordinating with the photographer
   Brushing and dressing the  animals and cleaning touch ups
   Treats and Hydration throughout the day
     and potty breaks
   And walks
