The Avanti Mansion. WNY’s premier wedding venue.

Wedding venue Avanti Mansion

FCI Photography and the Avanti Mansion both started our businesses in the same year, 2004. We have enjoyed a close business relationship ever since. The owners Laurie and Dave Clark, and their daughters Sabrina and Taylor have become good friends over the years. We’ve had the pleasure of watching the Avanti Mansion grow from its modest tent beginnings into one of the premier wedding venues in the western New York region.

We love to shoot at Avanti!

As a wedding photographer I love to shoot on their grounds of the Avanti. Behind the original mansion is a beautiful coy pond that circles an island where the outside wedding ceremonies take place. Even the stairs and guest seating overlooking the island is adorned with colorful flora. 

The newest addition to the expansive property is the magnificent Amore Ballroom and the adjacent Amore library. The library is a beautifully intimate location for indoor wedding ceremonies.

The Avanti grounds are surrounded by a treeline of tall and proud old growth trees that make a great backdrop for your wedding photos. The large patio behind the Amore ballroom is great to use for pictures on a rainy day or to get out of the hot sun. 

The best thing about shooting weddings at the Avanti Mansion has to be variety of options for photography.  The interiors of both the original Mansion and the new Amore complex are spectacularly decorated for creating splendid imagery. This comes in handy on a rainy day.  Both buildings have stunning bridal suites to make any bride feel like a real princess. In fact most brides and grooms request photos in the bridal suites even on perfect weather days. 

Take a look inside!

Summer is the traditional wedding season. Avanti Mansion is a four season wedding venue so they can help you celebrate all year long. The picturesque landscaping and the gorgeous interiors means you can have it all in one amazing location. There is no need to go elsewhere for your wedding photography.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the very professional and friendly staff. The food is consistently top shelf from the appetizers to the entrees.  Chef Leo’s creative talents in the kitchen are always on point to assure a positive dining experience. After dinner, it’s time to get your dance on because nobody keeps the party going like house DJ Kenny. In addition your wedding coordinators, Angie, Colleen, and Kelly Ann are with you every step of the way. They make sure your special day goes off without a hitch. The Avanti Mansion is becoming the choice wedding venue for so many couples.
