The Live Wedding Experience
Meet the Vendors behind The Wedding Experience

The Annex
Sam & Steph Armstrong
The idea for The Annex began in 2017 after we both got married. The location options for large guests counts were extremely limited, and we both had to get creative. Our mother in law, Michelle, said to us “What do you guys think about opening a wedding venue?” and away we went. We saw a need for a completely customizable space with limitless options, and got to work. Not only did we execute, we had a great time doing it, even during a pandemic. We celebrated our grand opening on January 2, 2021 by hosting our first wedding, and we haven’t looked back. Come see for yourself all the amazing things we have to offer!

H & H Entertainment
Dan & Tim Heimbueger
H&H is the only company in WNY founded by and comprised of family. We started our company as brothers and slowly expanded to include a select handful of high-quality team members. We don’t subcontract any of our staff, meaning all of our DJ’s and Photo Booth Attendant’s work here and nowhere else! Our familial, hands on approach allows you to have as much input on your day as you’re looking for but also ensures anything you leave up to us coincides with the vibe you’re working to create for the perfect event!
