From “I Do” to Let’s Party: A Richardson Hotel Wedding Celebration

Buffalo in the fall has an undeniable magical about it—crisp autumn air, golden-hued trees, and the kind of atmosphere that feels effortlessly romantic. Add in the stunning architecture of The Richardson Hotel, and you have the perfect setting for a wedding celebration that’s both timeless and unforgettable.

For Rose and James, this day was about more than just saying “I do.” They had already exchanged vows in a more intimate setting, and this was their chance to celebrate big—surrounded by their wedding party, family, and a whole room full of people ready to party all night long. And trust me, they did just that.

The evening kicked off with a cocktail hour and live music echoing through the halls. Heartfelt toasts, first dances, and casual passed apps and dinner stations set the perfect mood. Once the formalities wrapped up, it was time for the real fun to begin. I remember on our initial call Rose told me excitedly, “I want a bar, a band, dancing, and that’s it!” As I took notes on the call this is where I wrote a reminder to myself: “I LOVE HER!”

From the live band to everyone kicking their shoes off to dance, this party was nonstop energy. The music was loud, the dance floor was packed, and the newlyweds soaked in every second. Seeing their closest friends and family come together to celebrate in such a grand and historic space made the night even more special.

Fall weddings in Buffalo have this incredible way of feeling cozy and electric at the same time, and this one was no exception. Rose and James, your wedding celebration was one for the books, and I’m so honored to have captured it for you. Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and dance parties that never end!
