Amazing is an understatement!

The venue was breathtaking, the food was out of this world, and all of the coordinators were extremely helpful! Our guests raved about everything and we cannot thank Colloca enough!

Beautiful venue and exceptional service!

Colloca was the first venue my husband and I looked at when searching for our perfect venue, and it ended up being the only venue we looked at. We put down our deposit the day we visited and booked our date because Colloca checked every single one of our boxes. The event center itself is beautiful, and the grounds and view are magnificent. The food for both our rehearsal dinner and our reception was fantastic - my guests still bring up to me how amazing the food was 3 months later. And on top of all that, the service we received from the event staff was top notch. The event planners were organized and helpful, and the wait staff was so friendly, and they even organized all of my decor after the wedding wrapped up so I could just show up the next morning and throw everything easily into my car. Highly recommend booking, you won’t regret it!

Best experience ever!

At the start of wedding planning me and my now husband knew we wanted a venue different from anything we have been at. We are from Buffalo, NY and wanted something completely different than the rest of our friends and family have done. We saw Colloca online, visited, and made our deposit right then and there, we absolutely fell in love!! The outdoor scenery is picture perfect, and the indoor space is absolutely gorgeous!! Ali and Meagan were spectacular to work with, I cannot say enough good things about the two of them. They were so helpful with all the planning from day one. I was such a slacker in my planning and basically made most of the decisions a month before the big day and they were so accommodating with absolutely everything. If only you could see my email full of what has to be almost a hundred emails throughout the process; they promptly answered every single question I had. The day of they were so amazing as well! It started off as a sunny day, and of course started down pouring an hour or so before our outdoor ceremony. I was worried I would have to make a decision immediately if I wanted to switch the ceremony to indoors, but they said they only needed a five or ten minute notice to move what we needed inside!!! Of course the rain let up and we were able to have the ceremony we dreamed of. The food was also super delicious and the bartenders kept the drinks flowing for all of our guests. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our amazing day!
