It was also very cool that friends and family who grew up in Buff got to see a building they've never visited before (instead of going to the same banquet halls they've been to a bunch). Anyways, anecdote aside, I really wanted my wedding to have a classy and vintage (but not pretentious) atmosphere and this was the perfect place. Karpeles saved and beautifully restored this building and it is a wonderful museum that displays priceless documents, one of my favorite moments at our wedding was when I quietly stepped away and looked at one of the cases and noticed it held an original copy of Puccini's Madame Butterfly, I thought how cool that such a masterpiece is present for a special day in my little life. The side rooms were perfect to set up our buffet, and then we put our bar in the fireplace side room, I loved that the building made it so people could wander and explore a bit, we had an ice cream truck come and there is a beautiful garden out front where people at their ice cream and relaxed too. I also loved that the main room was big enough for tables and a dancefloor without having to move anything around, we had about 160 people. The white arches, warm wood accents, side room with the fireplace, and central organ gave the space so much warmth and class. It is stunning, and the fact that its mostly white made it a beautiful canvas you could build off of. We had our reception at Porter Hall and it is such a Buffalo Gem. Karpeles (and Chris the director of Karpeles) absolutely blew us away and was exactly what we were looking for. Everyone says it but the day truly does fly by.E creative control of hiring my own vendors. Be prepared to just roll with it when things go wrong on the day of the wedding, because they will whether big or small, and trust me no one will notice besides you so just have fun! Also try to consciously be in the moment and have moments of gratitude throughout the day that this special day you’ve been waiting for is actually here. At the end of the day it should be how you both envisioned it and family/friends will accept it.

The moment after walking back up the aisle and finally being able to say you did it and ready to party! Walking up to Curtiss rooftop and seeing a pink and orange killer sunset going down and the surprise of seeing the vision you had for the reception space come to life for the first time! And of course staring out from the sweetheart table with my HUSBAND and seeing all our favorite people in one spot enjoying the night.ĭo you have any recommendations for future couples planning a wedding?ĭo your wedding the way YOU both want to. What were your favorite moments/memories from the wedding? DANG this wedding so good and I’m so excited to share.īut one last thing before diving in to this AMAZING day recapped in images, here are a few thoughts from Kara and Ian! And holy smokes shout out to William’s Florist for killin’ it like always on the florals. It was the perfect size group, and both venues lended to the vibe they wanted for their day. With downsizing their list and the new venues they chose for their ceremony and reception (Karpeles Manuscript Museum and Curtiss Hotel), I honestly couldn’t imagine their wedding any other way. Kara and Ian had originally planned for a larger wedding at another venue but with the uncertainties brought about in 2020, they decided to change their wedding plans. I mean, seriously guys, I left wanting to be their best friends because their entire group – wedding party, families, and all – were THAT amazing. Largely in part because it was filled with some of the most sincere, kind, and insanely fun people I’ve ever been lucky enough to meet.

Elegant and romantic, intimate and yet WILDLY fun, this was hands down one of my favorite weddings of 2021. It’s been a minute since I’ve had time to share a wedding from this season, and I just knew Kara and Ian’s was the one I wanted to share to “break the radio silence” as they say.
