About the Company
In 1999, founder Laurie Clark created an “all-inclusive” catering and event planning company that would ease the burden of hosting large events.    Her philosophy was simple:  turn a client's dreams into reality, without adding stress or confusion to the process.   This concept was instantly embraced by her clients, especially those getting married.

Laurie has surrounded herself with a team of professionals who share this vision and are committed to exceeding their client's expectations. Together, they have produced hundreds of successful events for engaged couples, socialites and corporations alike. The entire Avanti Mansion staff welcomes the opportunity to assist you with your next special event!

About the Property
The Avanti Mansion is a beautiful private venue located in Western New York.   Built in 1892, this 19th century summer home has a unique blend of old southern charm and modern function.  The quiet historic estate, its undeveloped beauty and surrounding woodlands make it the perfect choice to host your wedding or special event.
The Avanti Mansion offers both outdoor and indoor amenities for wedding ceremonies and receptions, including beautiful photo opportunities. Inside the mansion, guests can enjoy a tour of the recently restored library, parlor, dining room and conservatory, all of which are appointed with intimate sitting areas.   Located on the second floor is an elegant bridal suite and private powder room for the Bride. Prior to the ceremony, the Bride and her attendants may use this area for dressing and photographs.  Following the ceremony, it is here that the Bride and Groom enjoy a quiet moment together and perhaps a wave to their guests from the French-door balcony.
A quaint walk outside to the Japanese lily pond will provide a romantic setting making it a wedding favorite.  Further exploring the estate, you may choose to stop and admire the spectacular beech tree pergola garden and conversational pet memorial.  For nature lovers, a view of Rush Creek and the various annual gardens will be a special treat.  
Although designed with the Bride in mind, the Avanti Mansion also appeals to the corporate client seeking a relaxed retreat. All it takes is one turn onto the inviting tree-lined driveway for time to slow and the enchantment to begin.
