⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astoria was Amazing!!! I don’t know how else to describe them! I only had two banquets in mind when planning my wedding. I went to them first and stuck with them. Lora and Max are amazing and they are so accommodating! I am an anxious person and a bit of a control freak, so I called them and they always reassured me that everything would be okay. I not only had my reception there, but I had my bridal shower there as well! I intend to have a baby shower there when the time comes! The food was delicious and so was the cake (at both of my events) People are still talking about how great everything tasted and how beautiful the banquet was. I truly could not have asked for a better shower and reception. A colleague of mine got engaged and I referred her to Astoria and SHE BOOKED IT! They are worth every penny. I can’t wait to have another event there in the future.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best night ever. It ran so smoothly & we loved the fact that we didn’t have to worry about a thing since it was an all inclusive event. We also got to enjoy the top tier of our wedding cake for our anniversary & it was still beautiful & delicious a year later. Thanks again for a marvelous way to begin our marriage!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They took care of everything. From the cakes, the decorations, the drinks, the food — every detail was handled with care and excellence.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BRIDES AND GROOMS, please please please book your wedding here. We got married on 9.23.23. All inclusive venue that required minimal set up and Max is super accommodating and helpful. 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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astoria was amazing, specifically Max! My husband and I wanted a Fairytale wedding and Astoria made that come to life. The food, decorations and the politeness of staff made the day even better. I recommend 10/10 for Astoria. They will work with you to ensure your day reflects the vision you have!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best venue ever!! Astoria is the absolute best!! We loved having our wedding there. From start to finish, everything was amazing. We worked with Lora all throughout wedding planning. She made us feel at ease during such a stressful time. On the day of our wedding, we knew that the decorations would look beautiful but it was even better than we had imagined it to be. Lora helped make our vision come true and we loved every bit of it. As for the food and drinks, it was all fabulous. We chose the option to provide our guests with a choice of chicken, steak or fish. All of our guests talked about how delicious our food was especially the filet. We had the opportunity to do a tasting and got to try all three options beforehand. The service was also amazing. The food was brought out in a timely manner. The drinks were very well made. Max was our coordinator on the day of the wedding and he was wonderful. We had the best time ever and would recommend Astoria to anyone!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious food . . . beautiful in every room . . . free (and plentiful) parking, helpful staff… They meant it when they said all-inclusive from the cake to the centerpieces! We couldn’t be more pleased with our brunch wedding and this was one of the few if not the only venue that did not put a constraint on when our reception should end in hopes of booking a wedding with dinner that same evening. Max and his team took their time with us and answered every question, no matter how much we were overthinking it all . . . you can count on this place to get the job done and do it excellently.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Astoria and all their staff were on our wedding September 22, 2018. They made our wedding day all we ever wished for. They were so caring, professional, helpful, kind overall wonderful . . . The management was great throughout all the planning and the waiter’s, bartenders all staff the day off were all we could ever ask for. The food was great and our guest still compliments us about it . . . I will never forget every moment of this very special day and everyone at Astoria because they made it an unforgettable night for us. Thank you so much for being so wonderful!!

My son’s wedding was held here. It was beautiful. They decorated the ballroom so elegantly it was breathtaking. Everyone enjoyed themselves . . .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The staff and service were excellent. I had my baby shower here at Astoria Banquets. From the beginning till the end everything was perfect. The decor and lighting was breathtaking. The food and pricing was excellent. I would recommend this venue to all my family and friends. It is perfect for all occasions. We had around 225 people and it was perfect. They were very accommodating to the two different cultures and bringing outside catering along with their food. Thank you for such an amazing baby shower for my twins!!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had my wedding Astoria Banquet Hall and it was absolutely incredible. Throughought the process, the management team (Max, in particular) was very helful in all regards. He made us feel welcomed, always reassured us, and always knew the answer to our questions before we even asked them. Instructions, choices, layout and format was all very clear. It was very helpful to a Type-A planner like myself. My wife and I had had our food tasting and the Chef was very friendly. He made us feel at home and the food was incredible. He and his staff made sure that all food accomodations were taken care of. On the day of the wedding, the staff was so kind and welcoming. They assisted us immediately in whatever we needed. It felt like we were working with Family. We recommend Astoria to any and all who want to have an amazing venue for any special event. But as always, you reap what you sow. We made sure that we and our party gave the up-most respect to Astoria Staff and Crew, and because of that, we were met with equal, if not more, kindness and respect! We’re very grateful for them!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My daughter had the best quinceañera. The party was absolutely wonderful! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent! We had a wonderful time! Thanks to Max for all his help.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. From the very first time we toured the venue, Max made us feel comfortable and taken care of. Throughout the 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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astoria’s extensive experience was evident: most of the questions I had were already addressed in the final pre-scheduled appointment it is required for every event. All messages I sent during the two weeks leading up to the event were answered promptly and with great professionalism. Another standout was the food — the guests thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and commented on its flavor, quality, and variety. I recommend the family-style menu.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious food, generous pours, beautiful in every room including outside for photo opportunities, free (and plentiful) parking, helpful staff… They meant it when they said all-inclusive from the cake to the centerpieces! We couldn’t be more pleased with our brunch wedding and this was one of the few if not the only venue that did not put a constraint on when our reception should end in hopes of booking a wedding with dinner that same evening. Max and his team took their time with us and answered every question, no matter how much we were overthinking it all. If your engagement is over 2 years like ours was or a few months, you can count on this place to get the job done and do it excellently.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a wedding planner I loved Astoria! When it was time to plan my daughters XV I knew with no hesitation it be at Astoria. Their packages are amazing for any occasion but also their service. Beautiful rooms, amazing food and management at Astoria is top notch. I will forever be recommending Astoria to any client and look forward to once again working with such a great team.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Having our wedding at Astoria was the best decision we made! The Astoria team helped us through the planning process and made every decision easier to make! It was a fun personal experience and financially reasonable! I highly recommend Astoria for any special celebrations!!! The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the service is exceptional!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I searched near and far for reception venues, and studied contracts with a fine tooth comb before choosing to do business with Astoria Banquets. Not only did the Astoria offer the best package and value, but they offered a stunningly beautiful venue, delicious food, flexible and kind management, and incredible service the day of the wedding. I highly recommend choosing to have your wedding at the Astoria for so many reasons. At the Astoria, you have the entire venue to yourself, two private bridal suites upstairs, and a HUGE, amazing bar area separate from the reception room. The Astoria offers many options for decorating and lay out, all of which are simply stunning. Lora, the owner, has an amazing eye for design, and helped our Fall theme come to life simply perfectly. The Astoria allowed us to bring in our own fall decor, while doing a great deal of beautiful decorating for us. Their staff was so kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and most importantly, on the wedding day. The day of the wedding, both owners were present to make sure everything was set up perfectly, and we had a manager there with us all night to be sure that everything went as planned. Our guests were truly blown away by our wedding at the Astoria. I cannot say enough positive things about the Astoria, and the owners Lora and Max- Thank you again for making our day perfect!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The attention to detail was impeccable. We didn’t have to worry about anything. They took care of the food, beverage, linens, centerpieces, uplighting, ceiling decor and ceremony.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The moment I saw pictures of the Astoria online I immediately fell in love with the venue. The venue is stunning and is even more breathtaking once you see it in person. Since my first consultation with Max I immediately knew that Astoria was the right place for me and my husband to celebrate our special day. Max and his staff paid great attention to all of our request, they went above and beyond to ensure we were taking care of. Max was always one phone call away, he was also very quick to reply to my emails and made me feel very special. The day of my wedding, I could hardly hold back my tears as I walked into my reception! The Decor was absolutely breathtaking it literally left me speechless! My guest were also amazed by how beautiful the venue was! I continue to get compliments, and many of my guest have stated that my wedding has been by far the best wedding they have attended. The catering staff at Astoria are very pleasant and also made sure my guest and I were treated like royalty. Max and his team made sure my fairytale wedding come true, they truly exceeded my expectations. All the brides and grooms to be reading my review, I highly recommend this amazing venue, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! Be ready to be the talk of the town and the envy of all your friends and family. I am honored for being able to work with Max and his team as they truly posses excellent people skills and professionalism. Thank you from the bottom of my hear for everything!
