From the reviews
We recently had a Wedding Welcome Party at the AcQua for my son and daughter-in-law the night before there wedding. We had a wonderful experience and were very happy with the service we received from the very accommodating staff. The Buffalonian buffet was a great choice as the guests raved about the food.
Where to begin … we fell in love with the space as soon as we walked in sometime around July 2020. The natural light flowing throughout the space & the water front views are … impeccable. We planned our wedding for Sept. 2021 hoping, like everyone else, COVID would be an after thought; but that was not the case.
We had our wedding here, and it was a beautiful and perfect day! Kristie was truly amazing, responsive, professional, and ensured everything was perfect. We had a couple of hiccups due to the storm, and Kristie stepped up to make sure we had everything we needed for our day.
We recently had my daughter’s baby shower at Acqua. I can not say enough nice things about the venue and how we were treated. Michael was always great at getting back to me and was very gracious with all my requests. Christine and Jeff were are servers for the event and they were attentive and pleasant to work with.
Getting married at AcQua
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
