Three tier cake made fresh specifically designed for my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday party

Scored 10 stars, A+++, look no more once you visit Astoria World Manor. Accessible location, all inclusive dining, appetizers, specialty drinks, fresh (3) tier birthday cakes, wide selection of menu items to cover all your guests needs. Real talk, I researched a year in advanced, priced out every venue for my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday and the minute I stepped into the Manor I knew I was done looking. The elegance, space, staff, accommodations, and price are unsurpassed. People take it from me I know value when I see it. The location is safe and impressive as well. Most venues near the city are triple the price and after your event your guests are left fending for themselves in unsafe, isolated locations. The Astoria Manor provides security throughout your event, the catering staff is on point, and keeps your event running on time. True Professionals, especially my catering manage Angie, who took care of every detail and kept me informed throughout. I saved the best for last, Mr. Vicente Rojel, Managing director, is the man to see. I relied on him for everything considering my tight budget, he made it all happen. A true Star when it comes to accommodating your requests and keeps constant contact via email. So there you have it. Truly a stress free event so you can relax and enjoy your party!!!!!!!

This is my 3rd time hosting an event at Astoria World Manor! Everything was fantastic! Staff was extremely helpful. Tony the general manager is amazing! Always willing to help any way he can! Gianny my banquet manager was so gracious and helpful! William was my Maître d', he was extremely helpful and so was his staff that night. They helped me pack all the decorations and brought them to my car. The food was fantastic! They recently renovated the fountain room and it was stunning! If I have an event to host in the future it will definitely be at AWM!!

On line for buffet, the silverware and plates were clean...

From the outside this place doesn't seem as big as it is. but once you walk in you're greeted with a huge area that holds a grand piano and walls of mirrors that are great for photos. The function I attended was in 2F which is a nice size ballroom right by the restrooms. This place is nice but definitely could use some updating. Decor is dated. The ladies restroom is nice, in a way. So there's a lot of mirrors and a good number of stalls that were separated from a vanity area. But the tiles were cracked and a really old ugly shade of pink. Definitely needs some TLC. The food was ok. We were served buffet style and there was baked ziti, Italian sausage, chicken, and pork rib tips and a seafood pasta. No rice or veggie option (only a green salad.) There was also a fruit platter and bread. I didn't stay for dessert so I can't comment on that but I heard it was ok. This wasn't a wedding it was a company holiday party so the desserts were cookies and pastries from what I saw before I left. Oh, there's no parking lot, you have to find street parking. I overheard someone say there's valet available if you book it with your package, but you'd have to verify with the venue about that. I had to park 2 blocks away. But as a New Yorker I'm used to having to find parking and walk anyway. Overall, this place is nice... just really really needs some decor updating.

[656] Visited this HUGE venue for a wedding. It was easy to get to from the Highway. We arrived early so we were able to snag a free off street parking space. The parking lot ground was tough to navigate since it had a ton of pot holes. When I say the venue was HUGE I mean HUGE. Our party was on the second floor and I counted 6 party rooms and it looked like all were filled on a Saturday evening. The first floor had at least 4 party rooms. The room we were in was a decent size and very pretty with the huge chandeliers. They had two rolling bars came in the room through the night. Very smart as the venue is able to use the main space for a table. The food was buffet style and was served in a back room which was separate from the main room. It was ok but didn't eat much because it was room temperature. I really enjoyed the fruit bar section. The dancefloor was huge. The bad part about having so many rooms is that when our room had mellow/quiet music due to everyone eating then you can hear the boom boom from next door. Honestly we a lot of dancing music during the night which we enjoyed. The wedding was beautiful!

See all

Place has horrible security and allows anything and everything to happen. Unsafe, unruly and just purely unprofessional.

The Aurora Gallery is an event coordination company, NOT a specific venue; they work with multiple…read morevenues. This review is of how this event coordinator organized our wedding ceremony and reception this September, at a venue called T Studio in Astoria (you can see amy review of that venue separately). Things they organized well: * For the most part the package is reasonably priced and a lot of the things are included (e.g. DJ, photographer, staff, décor) etc. However, as we've learned later (see below), this organizer takes on more than they can logistically handle and it would have been much better if we actually organized some of these elements ourselves. * The food -the restaurant this coordinator ordered catering from was very good. * The décor was in line with what I wanted, BUT...see the list of "buts" below... Things they organized.... NOT so well: * There were multiple warning signs early on that this wedding coordinator is not very detail-oriented. Communicating with her was hard--she took a long time to reply to emails and things were disappearing in the thread. For example, she sent us our wedding contract three times, each time with errors in it. * They set up very late so there's no chance to check everything--and that's too bad. For one: THEY MESSED UP THE TABLE SEATING. I provided a correct seating chart way in advance and we only had 8 tables (!). And somehow they couldn't get that right and put the same guests at two tables, which completely messed up the whole arrangement and resulted in two of our guests actually eating dinner in a back room next to garbage cans (!) because they wanted to sit together. To make it worse, the coordinator was trying to deny it in a conversation with me later. * Multiple things that were part of our package were missing during the event, including a coffee station and a water station. I myself (as bride) had to run to the bar every time I wanted a glass of water, and towards the end of the event the guests informed me that there is no coffee! Which was in our package! They refunded us for the cost of the missing items ($125! Out of ~$14K), but well, we only had one wedding. * The bar RAN OUT OF WINE before the event ended. Already the bar under this company closes 30mins before the end of the event, and all we had on offer for wine was house red and house white. * The ceremony took place on the terrace: there was a loud air conditioning unit that practically drowned out our vows. * I wanted to add a champagne reception to our package, and at the beginning I wanted to manage it myself, but our wedding coordinator offered to take care of it for an extra charge. BIG MISTAKE. They did not get enough champagne and were serving glasses with embarrassingly tiny amounts of champagne at some point. I would have bought the bottles myself had I known in advance! * In general, the staff assistance was non-existent. My parents and multiple guests reported that the staff offered no guidance, the guests were confused as to where they were supposed to go or what to do. * We paid for "passed hors d'oevres " as part of our package, which were supposed to be distributed before the ceremony. My parents reported that a waiter showed up 2-3 times out on the terrace with a small plate of hors d'oevres which lasted for just a few people. * The décor was also included in our package including tables and altar décor. The wedding coordinator did provide a vision board and we discussed getting specific things, like fairy lights and lighting up the aisle with candles/lampions. There were neither. The coordinator said she made a budget decision to not include those -and did not inform me about it! But based on all the other fails my guess is that she simply forgot. The part that particularly irked me was: I found a Love-shaped balloon on Amazon and offered to buy it and bring it for decoration, but the wedding coordinator said she'll take care of it. You've guessed it...there was no balloon. I could have easily done that myself. * My general impression is: when you're planning a wedding, you can't possibly think of every single thing as the bride. That is why you hire a wedding organizer to take off some of the load (and pay them money for it!). Foresight and support was completely lacking from this vendor. I had to think of everything myself and spell everything out, and on occasion even the instructions I gave them were not executed correctly. From things I didn't spell out but I had hope that they will interpret them, here's one example: we provided little bottles of bubbles for guests to use during the ceremony. The event coordinator distributed the bottles on chairs for the ceremony, but provided no instructions to the guests to use them. Result: there were no bubbles during the ceremony or at any point. You just expect that an experienced wedding coordinator would know to "manage" the crowd and give out instructions. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this vendor.

This review is so overdue!…read more We had our reception here last October. The space is huge and you are really able to transform it however you'd like although the managers do help you with some standard seating layouts. We had 120 guests and the size was just right. We had plenty of room for seating buffet tables and dance floor. They even provide a bartender for you to use that night. I'll post some pictures which tell more than I can in the writeup but it's definitely worth 5 stars, and the main reason was John. When crap went wrong he calmed us down. Took us drinks and food in the back and to our table. Reminded us to relax and enjoy. Our DJ which we brought on our own was late and I started to get worked up but John cooled me down. He also helped us plan and figure out a lot of things as we had not a clue in the world what we were doing. He made it worth every penny. They also have many vendors to recommend should you need them. We used theirs for the tables and chairs and also the waitstaff. The prices were reasonable compared to other vendors and trust me, we checked. If you're looking to do a wedding on a budget and paying for yourself, you should use the Aurora Gallery.
