Welcome Buffalo Couples
Maison Albion serves Buffalo-area couples seeking an elegant estate wedding without extensive guest travel.
Our French-inspired Victorian mansion sits on seven private acres in Albion, NY—just 45 minutes from downtown Buffalo via Route 104. We provide Buffalo couples with exclusive estate access, complete vendor freedom, and the destination venue experience without the destination drive.
Buffalo couples appreciate the natural beauty and thoughtful design found throughout Western New York—from the historic Olmsted Parks system to Delaware Park's landscapes. Maison Albion captures that same spirit of elegant celebration space and parklike setting, designed for memorable gatherings surrounded by gardens, mature trees, and architectural beauty. The difference? Complete privacy and exclusivity for your wedding day on a private seven-acre estate.
A Historic 1878 Mansion Between Buffalo & Rochester
Built in 1878 on a prosperous Western New York estate, Maison Albion is a French-inspired Victorian mansion reflecting our region's deep French-Canadian heritage. Located in Albion, NY (Orleans County)—just 45 minutes from Buffalo and 50 minutes from Rochester—your wedding ceremony unfolds on our grand columned portico, elegant interior spaces with original wood-burning fireplace, or intimate garden courtyard while your reception celebration flows through rooms adorned with ornate moldings, crystal chandeliers, and period architectural details.
Every couple receives exclusive venue access for the entire day. No other weddings. No other events. No rushed timelines. Your signature champagne-and-conversation tour lets you explore our historic Victorian mansion and private estate grounds as they're meant to be experienced.
Our seven-acre parklike setting offers both manicured gardens with lush greenery and pastoral countryside views—the perfect backdrop for golden hour portraits without leaving your elegant Victorian celebration. The natural flow of our estate spaces allows you to design a seamless event experience from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, all surrounded by the beauty of Western New York.
From intimate micro weddings of 50 guests to grand celebrations of 300, our wedding venue adapts to your vision. Unlike venues that lock you into vendor packages, you maintain complete control over every detail—including your choice of caterer, photographer, florist, and all wedding vendors. Our experienced event staff will feel like an extension of your planning team, dedicated to bringing your vision to life.
We take pride in our connection to Buffalo's rich architectural heritage. Just as Frederick Law Olmsted designed Delaware Park and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks system to serve as gathering spaces for celebration, we've preserved this 1878 estate to offer couples a private celebration venue with the same attention to landscape, atmosphere, and timeless design.
