Buffalo Date Night

Work with us · For Buffalo & WNY businesses

Be the place they pick tonight

Buffalo Date Night is where couples work out where to go: a date finder, a night planner and a list of what's on this week across Buffalo and Western New York. If you run a restaurant, venue, attraction or event that makes a great date, here's how to get in front of them.

Three ways to work together

Pick one or mix them. Every option runs for the dates you choose and comes down on its own when it ends.

Restaurants, bars, venues & attractions

Featured spot

Your place at the top of the date finder whenever it fits what a couple is looking for, with a Partner label.

  • Top of matching results (no more than two partners at a time)
  • Partner label on your card
  • Links to your website or reservations page
  • Not on the site yet? We'll take a look and add you first if you're a fit

Rates on request

Organizers, venues & promoters

Promoted event

Your event pinned to the top of What's On while it matches the filters a visitor has on, labeled Sponsored.

  • Top of What's On for the dates you choose
  • Add-to-calendar and Build-a-Night buttons on your card
  • Direct link to your tickets
  • Regular listings stay free. This is for top placement

Rates on request

Ticketing, reservations, gifts & experiences

Affiliate & referral links

Run an affiliate or referral program? We'll link couples to your booking pages and earn a commission when they book.

  • Links from event cards and spot listings
  • You pay on bookings, under your program's terms
  • Marked "affiliate link" next to every one
  • Only for things we'd point people to anyway

Commission set by your program

Pinned above the day-by-day list for your dates. The "affiliate link" note appears on any link that earns us a commission.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you have in mind. Use the form below. A couple of sentences is plenty.
  2. We check it's a fit. If it is, we reply with rates and open dates.
  3. It goes live on your start date and comes down on its own on your end date.

Our rules, and how we make money

Couples use this site because they trust the picks. These rules keep it that way, and they apply to everyone.

  • Paid means labeled. Featured spots say "Partner." Promoted events say "Sponsored." Affiliate links say "affiliate link."
  • We only take partners we'd recommend to a friend. We can say no, and paying doesn't buy a nicer write-up.
  • Our picks aren't for sale. The curated date plans, guides and descriptions are ours.
  • Free listings stay free. Anyone can still submit an event at no cost.
  • Affiliate links don't cost you more. We may earn a commission when you book through one. You pay the same price.
  • Everything paid has an end date. Placements switch off on their own.
