munication was on point with quick replies to any questions along the way. They even steered me in the right direction with other wedding ideas etc. The venue looked absolutely stunning. Super clean and spacious. The staff was on point, professional and very kind. Our guests raved about the food from the appetizer table, sweet table and of course the main meal. I could not have imagined my wedding any where else and was beyond thankful for all of their help!

Helen and the other manager were always helpful and available during the planning of our wedding. And mostly, whatever we needed, they offered. And when there was a minor issue, no need to freak out, they will fix it right away! We did not go t...
hrough their vendor for our wedding cake, but my husband and I had a situation where our cake did not show up on time, and literally made our wedding schedule dysfunctional. However, Helen and the hall helpers (servers) stepped in to ensure things ran smoothly. They even offered us a cake to cut for our photos and for the guest to observe. Our real cake didn’t get there til 2 hours before the wedding ended. My husband and I were just awed at how much the hall manager and kitchen assisted with our wedding and were extremely nice!! Would recommend them to anyone! They will make sure that your day/event goes smoothly and perfect as they can make it!

We hired alpine banquets on June 2020. We were attracted by the cheaper prices, which a week before or wedding were raised 3 times!!!! Be aware BRIDES and GROOMS that the menu showed in the first visit said in the bottom “prices can change wit...
hout notice” the contract says the same!!!! Do not sign it if they are not able to honor the first price!!!! They took the deposit after contract was signed, then reached out for second!! After that I didn’t hear from them, neither they wanted to talk with me after, until couple weeks before my wedding. Well this is because if I knew about all this, I would have canceled it without hesitation!!!! But since I had to wait until few weeks before my wedding, by the contract was not way to cancel or get a refund, so we had to continue with the plans, and paying extra 3 times !!!! ( I wish I can attach the pictures of the menus here, so you can see) Adding to the nightmare of going out of our budget to pay what this banquet required without notice!! To book the tasting was another issue, Helen called me and screamed at me for 10 min , I couldn’t speak at all!! The tasting that we asked for wasn’t available, simple because it wasn’t season, etc… we tried other food that required upgrade (more money) , so then they were happy to help with the rest!!!! Food wasn’t fantastic!!!! The day of the wedding I was thirsty all night!!! Waitress didn’t care more than serving the dinner and that’s it! The bartender was rude and denied soft drinks to people who didn’t drink alcohol. Also, when I brought the names and cards, we have to put them ourselves !!!!! The alpine banquets wouldn’t helped!!! Last thing to mention the oak mill bakery that they work with is a completely disaster we paid over 1000k for our cake and it wasn’t the way we asked for it!!!! We don’t recommend this place !!!! Avoid the headache on your big day!!
Had my wedding here just this past weekend, and everything was absolutely perfect! Helen was very helpful when it came to rescheduling our original wedding date! Food was so so delicious, my guests couldn’t get enough! Highly recommend Alpine t...

ob. Overall, our wedding was perfect thanks to their work. We really wanted an outdoor wedding, and they worked with us to make our dreams come true. We looked at several venues, and I'm positive you can not find a better value. You get so many things as part of the venue package. My guests all told me how much they loved the venue, the food and drinks. Thanks, Alpine team, for making our day so special.
Had our wedding there on 2/14/20 and it was MARVELOUS. The staff there is so accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make every detail perfect. From the consultation, food tasting, booking, all the way up to the wedding helping us mak...
e sure everything was in line and in check. Not only is their service great, their food is OUTSTANDING. We have had nothing but compliments on the menu (we selected cream of chicken soup, salad, rolls, pork, chicken piccata, and beef with roasted red potatoes and mixed vegetables and finished with homemade kolack/kolaczki) and how beautiful the venue is. The wedding coordinators at Alpine are very knowledgeable helped to guide us in our decision making. They allowed us to set up the day before in the afternoon and to pick up the next day all of our decorations. Overall, they were great to work with and the venue was perfect for our day. We had 225 guests and it did not feel crammed at all! Sebastian (a wedding coordinator at Alpine) even stopped by to see how things were going and to congratulate us. They went the extra mile and it shows; we could not be happier with the outcome.
Alpine Banquets is amazing! Not only from the beautiful decoration inside and out but because of their amazing food! They are extremely easy to work with and accommodate you with all that you need to make your event unique and special! Will def...

The food was delicious, the newly renovated banquet hall was gorgeous, and the team did an incredible job taking our ideas and turning it into the most perfect reception. Thank you, THANK YOU to the entire Alpine team for making our wedding party incredible.

ian are all great, kind, patient, caring people. From our first tour of the place to the night of, they always made us feel completely at ease. Never once were they pushy for any add ons, I contacted them constantly and they never seemed to mind. I even called poor Kim the night before with table dilemmas, having her switch around every table, to call back and tell her it was right the first time. Most people probably would've cursed me out but she was sooo nice, calming, and even laughed about it. They go out of their way to make sure things are exactly as you want them. The day of, everything was set up so beautifully, everything went smoothly and Sebastian was there the whole time for anything we needed and making sure things went perfectly. I would give them an A++++ for sure.
We had such an amazing reception here at Alpine Banquets! The food was incredibly yummy, and the whole building is gorgeous! I would recommend this place to anyone for any kind of celebration! Helen was a great host!

ul! We decided to get the mini sweet table.....Amazing! (drooool). They set up my crazy DIY centerpieces and they were so incredibly collaborative with all my vendors. The food was great. We did plated prime rib or alpine chicken. Both were very good. They also honored my request to serve hurricanes as a signature drink to go with our mardi gras theme. Last but not least their pricing is unbeatable especially for the service. Wonderful job. Thank you Helen and Alpine staff for helping make our wedding dreams come true!

~Erica & Scott (Disney Reception 9.17.16)
My husband and I are incredibly thankful and fortunate to have had the chance to have our reception at Alpine Banquets May 14, 2016. We looked at many places in and around the area yet could not find one that suited our needs. When we first wa...
lked in and were shown the rooms, we knew we had found a winner. We both loved the classy interiors that were clean, elegant, and large enough to handle our guests of around 100 people. Sebastian and his sweet mom Helen answered all of our questions and gave us detailed information about their various packages. Additionally, this was a multi-cultural wedding and they gave great advice on how to make it work for both groups. Whenever we had questions, they responded immediately by phone. Our food tasting was an enjoyable experience; the spread was exquisite as we had many chicken/beef/veggie options to choose from. Although our wedding consisted of 100 guests, we had many decorations to assemble and display. I provided all decorations to Sebastian a week ahead of time and we were blown away how beautiful the main ballroom was when we arrived at our reception. My husband and I as well as our guests felt so at-home and incredibly comfortable. The food was delicious as we chose cream of chicken and rice and chicken/beef dinner plates for each of the guests. Additionally, the dessert table was beautifully displayed.
In short, our guests loved the food, loved the drinks, the dessert table was exquisite, and the tables and hall were incredibly elegant. Adding to the already superb customer service, Sebastian would even check in on us to make sure our night was going as planned and if they needed to make any adjustments to accommodate our needs. Many thanks to Sebastian and his Mother Helen for making our engagement and wedding experience truly special, but above all memorable.
We highly recommend Alpine Banquets to anyone searching for the perfect Wedding Reception experience.
Sincerely,
Sylwia and Chris
Where to begin! Alpine was absolutely amazing through our entire wedding process- living out of state and planning a wedding can really be a lot of work, but Sebastian was always a phone call or an email away and always there's with an answer. ...
When we first went to Apline and met Sebastian we knew it was the venue of our dreams! Helen and Sebastian were so kind, helpful, professional, and all around just amazing. We decided on a family style dinner and our guest with a champagne fountains (seriously such a hit!) everyone couldn't not stop talking about how delicious the food was. Our bar package was the best! We had the greatest bartenders and there were drinks for everyone. If you're looking for exceptional service, great friendly people to work with, a beautiful hall, and amazing and affordable wedding packages please please please choose alpine! Thank you so much Apline for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!
Alpine Banquets proved to us that we did not need to spend excessive amounts to hold our reception. Both Sebastian and Helen were great; professional, friendly, caring and very easy going. We loved that they did not price gauge us. Most hall...
s and venues tacked on extra fees for anything they could get away with charging. You know that it is a great value and seems too good to be true. We decided to go with the family style dinner and opted for the chocolate fountain. There was plenty of food served. We held our ceremony there as well. Being a Friday night at 6:00 pm, many people were stuck in traffic and apparently called Alpine to inquire alternate routes and such. Sebastian asked us if were opposed to starting 15 minutes later. It worked out better for us and our guests. My maid of honor (my sister) took care of everything that evening. She, too, was impressed with Sebastian and his efficiency and preparedness. We certainly felt that the service we received was top notch! You cannot go wrong with a family run business, with exceptional prices and excellent service.
When planning our wedding, my husband and I were on a fairly limited budget. We looked at several venues all of which were far out of our price range. I will admit, that the initial draw to Alpine Banquets was the price, but the quality of serv...
ice that we received far exceeded anything we could have expected (including probably what we would have gotten from some of the more expensive venues). Sebastian and Helen were incredible to work with and their staff the night of our wedding was amazing. The food was great, the space was perfect, and the people could not have been better. I can't even count how many of our guests have commented to us how wonderful everything was. I would definitely recommend Alpine Banquets to anyone planning their event in the western suburbs.
The Alpine is great, the room was absolutely beautiful. It was better then I had imagined. Helen let me have whatever I wanted. The food was incredible and there was massive amounts of it! The mini sweets table was HUGE! It was all perfect! The...
y did all the set up and blew my mind! We didn't even know there was a second wedding going on at the same time. GO WITH THEM!!!!
Had an event here recently and was definitely impressed. The venue, food and staff, especially Sebastian, was great. From day one planning the event Sebastian was nice and accommodating to our needs. Having to plan a wedding can be stressful...
but with the staff at Alpine everything they promised was delivered!!!
The venue was great, clean and up to date. Usually you go to a banquet hall and have a few things that are out-dated but not this place. The food was great as usual. Everything came out looking wonderful and even tasted better. I have been to Alpine Banquets numerous times for events but it was the first time I ever planned an event there and will definitely be going back.
Sebastian and staff were perfect! The food was delicious (and served hot!) and they were very accommodating with the menu considering we had gluten free guests. The ballroom was the perfect venue for our Disney themed wedding :) We would highl...

Our experience with Alpine Banquets was excellent, from start to finish! They were able to meet all of our needs, and even some that we didn't know we had! Sebastian was very easy to work with and always helpful whenever we had any questions. T...
he decorations were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious. There's nothing that I would change about our experience. Thank you, Alpine Banquets for making our big day so special!
From the moment we met Helen, we realized that we wanted to work with her. We found Alpine Banquets in between looking at other venues we had appointments for and I am so thankful that we found them. All of the staff is so down to earth and rea...
listic. When planning a wedding, it becomes pretty clear that a lot of people/venues are out to nickle and dime you for as much as possible. This is not the case at Alpine. They offer an AMAZING wedding package at one of the most affordable prices in the area. Our package included appetizers, an open bar (which was on par with the premium options at a lot of other locations), our wedding cake, a family style meal, wine at every table and free uplighting. They answered questions, helped us set things up (honestly they did most of the set up), and nearly everything went perfect. We were married in the ballroom which was beautiful. There was also a wedding going on next door, but because of the set up, we didn't even hear or really see the other party.
The one and only reason I am not giving them a perfect score, is I found out the next day that one of the tables was missing a place setting. Thankfully there was an empty seat at another table that the guest knew people at so it all worked out. I am sure that if someone told Sebastian (who was present at my wedding)he would have immediately fixed it.
I HIGHLY recommend Alpine Banquets. There food, drinks and service was such a high quality for such an affordable price.
We had our wedding in October of 2013. I was so pleased with Alpine.
They were very easy to reach whenever needed. Sebastian was our main contact and manager available the day of the wedding.
I brought in all my own center pieces and quit...
e a few other various decorations and they followed my instructions exactly. Everything was beautifully set up when we walked in. They really went above and beyond.
All of our guests seemed very happy with the food. There were many compliments on the breaded pork tenderloin (definitely worth the small up charge).
They also have kolacky that are to die for! I was so sad I didn't get any on the night of the wedding before they were all gone!
I would highly recommend Alpine to anyone.
I couldn't have been happier with Alpine Banquets, especially Helen and Sebastian Kos! They were amazing to work with and made the entire planning process stress free! Sebastian listened to everything that I wanted and met all of it at 100%! ...
He is amazing at what he does. Throughout the night he was always checking to make sure if everything was okay.
The food was spectacular! I couldn't have been happier. All of our guests kept telling us how great the food was, so we knew we made the right choice!! The appetizers, family style entree, the dessert and the drinks were all amazing all night long!
The bar package was fantastic! There was something for everybody, and the bartenders were so nice and friendly. They had a drink ready for the bridal party at all times!
Everything was amazing and made our wedding night fantastic!!! Thank you so much for everything Alpine Banquets!!!

Thank you Alpine banquets for making our wedding the best day ever!
Alpine Banquets did a wonderful job for my Halloween themed wedding. They let us come in two days early to set up everything and were very accommodating when it came to decorating and making sure everything was set up exactly the way I wanted i...
t. Helen was amazing! I would recommend this hall for anyone that is looking for somewhere affordable and has good food.
Alpine is a great banquet hall for couples on a budget. They have especially great pricing for friday and sunday weddings. The ballroom is very open and airy, the swiss room is much smaller, short ceilings, but very nice. Both rooms are a littl...
e outdated, but when all the decorations are up it looks very nice. I spoke primarily with Helen and she was a pleasure to work with! She always got back to me right away and was always willing to answer my questions even if i asked them several times. The food was very good! We did the family style and everyone loved all the choices. The cake turned out beautiful and was very good too!
The venue was beautiful and their food was amazing.
Beautiful place but a little too small.
My guest were so happy with every part of our wedding. We held the ceremony and reception at Alpine and we could not have been more pleased. Some of the guests I talked to after the wedding told me the event looked so classy and expensive. Th...
e staff was fantastic. They were entertaining to my guests and very accomidating. My groom can be demanding and they were able to keep him happy too. That says ALOT about the great people at Alpine.
Alpine Banquets was a very inexpensive venue, but no one would have been able to tell. The food was delicious, the room looked beautiful, and they were more than happy to work with you and help you in any way. The other negative thing I have to...
say is that some of the waiters were somewhat unfriendly and rude to some of my guests. We had a few complaints.

Great prices, easy to work with, wonderful staff
Good price and family atmosphere.
You get so much for your money at alpine! Even the cake was included in the price and there were no extra set up fees, cake cutting fees, etc like every other banquets hall has. It was also nice because the staff is bilingual, polish and Engl...
ish. This helped many of our non English speaking guests also feel welcome.
The owners were great! The food was awesome! They cared about the people the 'catered' to. They listened to all of my requests. They were willing to work with us on various things.
It was beautiful! It had this European feel and since my side of the family is from Germany, they loved it. The food was so good, usually at wedding the food is ok. but this was beyond that. They stayed in contact with my family on when we need...
