“Pearl St could not have been a better choice for our wedding venue. They are a staple in Buffalo for a reason! Abby was great to work with and kept the night moving along. Her team took our jumble of decorations and created a beautifully designed room. Our guests loved the food. My fiance and I were greeted with our signature cocktails after the ceremony and they even assembled and carried our plates for us. We appreciate all the small details they took care of, we truly had a worry-free wedding with the Pearl St team!”

“When my husband and I started working with the Sheraton, we went through 4 coordinators!!! It was so stressful but when Sarah came to be the final one, she worked very hard to get things done. Her communication was great, her organization was great, she's very professional, and honestly I felt like we were doomed before her. My guests are still raving about my wedding over a month later!! She's so friendly and personable too. She even helped out the day after the wedding to check in and to make sure everything was fine. We really appreciated everything she did for us!!!!”
