“Samuels Grande manor experience was amazing. From the huge getting ready rooms that came with complimentary drinks and food. To organizing the mases of people we had. To making sure we were on time for our schedule. To the amazing food. We had a buffet that came with hor dourves, cocktail drinks at the fountain bar, open bar for reception, plated salad, big buffet line, plated desert and a desert table. The food was so good and hot. After our big day we didn't have to pick up our things til a couple days later which was so nice to have the next day to relax. Mark at samuels was a great person to work with and made everything seem so easy. All the staff was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

“My Wife and I had a fall wedding at Rusty Nickel Brewing September 14. Food- 10 out of 10 Location- 10 out of 10 Service- 10 out of 10 Staff- 10 out of 10 Spirits- 10 out of 10 Price- Very Affordable. They are up front about all the costs and very quick with invoices. Lots of places to save or up-sell your event. Our original location fell through. The whole crew at Rusty Nickel Brewing were top shelf from the planning stage, through our entire event. We wanted a simple ceremony that turned into a party to watch the Bills game. At no time did we feel overwhelmed or unsure about how the day would play out. We paid extra for them to setup my wife's decorations exactly as she wanted them. Well worth it. I cannot wait to come in the next time and every September 14th to celebrate and reminisce with my Wife! Thanks Rusty Nickel Brewing Crew!”
