I can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Karen was incredibly accommodating and worked so closely with us to ensure our day was perfect. The food was incredible, many of our guests said the dessert table was to die for and the bar service was amazing. If you're between this venue and another for an event you're hosting, I promise that you won't regret choosing Bobak's. If I could give them a 100 star rating, I definitely would!

We had our wedding here during COVID. I imagine if COVID wasn't a thing then it would have been better but our wedding reception had a lot of little issues that were annoying.

Went to an event there a few years back, knew I had to have my wedding there. We booked pre-Covid for November 2020 and once Covid hit we asked to reschedule to 2021. Their answer was put down a new $1,600 deposit since they were confident they would be doing full 150 to 200 person weddings by mid July so they could not be flexible. After weeks of emailing back and forth we decided to loose our deposit and go elsewhere. Terrible customer service. I’ve seen the reviews and Illinois is still at a 50 person max, no dance floor, no cocktail hour, etc. We ended up having our ceremony in our backyard (it was perfect!) and saved the $20k we would have spent with them. Shameful how they would now work with us especially since other said they were so flexible. I guess in this hard time they can be choosy about who they are flexible with, beware.

Thank you is not enough for all the work that Chris, Karen, Anna & the entire Bobak’s Signature team staff put into making our winter wedding as magical as it was. They made sure to coordinate with all of our vendors, work with all of my visions, and simply make it the best day ever. The service was top notch for over 600 guests and the food was out of this world phenomenal. I knew I made the best choice when I booked with them 2 years earlier. Looking forward to working with them in the future !

From the day we booked, to our wedding day, Bobak’s proved time and time again that we made the perfect choice. They worked with our budget, helped us save money in certain areas and helped us plan from top to bottom! We worked with Karen mostly, she helped us with every detail and was so efficient on everything. Chris also helped a lot before hand as well.
On the day of we could not have been happier. Walking in that room took our breathe away! Everything was exactly the way we wanted. So many of our guests are still raving about the food almost a month later. To be quite honest, it tasted better the day of then it did at the tasting, and it was really good at the tasting. The entire staff was helpful and very pleasant.
Chris and Karen both were on top of everything throughout the event.
“Chris and Karen, and the entire Bobak’s staff are by far the best in the business!”
They should be your first choice when planning your wedding!!

My husband and I got married on September 14, 2019. For our reception, we had the beautiful terrace, the Monterey Room & Columbia Room. All I can say is one word..... WOW!
Throughout this process we worked direct with Karen, Chris & Anna. My husband and I had a very clear and precise vision of what we wanted our reception room to look like. Very elegant and sophisticated.
The night of the wedding we received SO many compliments that I can probably fill a whole notebook up at this time. We are STILL receiving compliments from other individuals 48 hours AFTER the reception was completed. At times, my husband and I were at each other's throats...arguing over wedding stuff before we would have an appointment at Bobak's to finish some details. Karen could read us both like a book. She would sit us down, ask us what is wrong, and was able to figure out different routes to go in order to compromise and proceed with wedding plans. As a couple, we were very organized when it was time to drop off our items a couple days before the wedding. This kept Karen and additional staff in a smooth transition in order to set everything up to a T. So getting back to our wedding night...we had SO many people that were SO excited to start the reception party that approx. 25 people showed up an hour early prior to cocktail hour beginning. Here are some compliments we received:
1. Appetizers during cocktail hour - AWESOME!
2. Signature Drinks (His & Hers) - SO POPULAR!
3. Soup was piping hot, salad was crisp cold, and for dinner people said they wanted to LICK their plates clean!
4. Wedding Cake - ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, LIGHT & REFRESHING! Thanks Chef Francisco! :) You are the best!
5. Bartenders at Bobak's - Fantastic! Mixed drinks at a very good speed so all of the bar lines were not 5 feet deep.
6. All décor and tables were set up beautifully and to our specifications with not a single item misplaced. Thanks Karen! :)
7. Late night snack pizza was fantastic and our sweet table was a huge hit!
8. WAITER/WAITRESS SERVICE - WOW, WOW, WOW! AWESOME!
On behalf of my husband and I, we wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Everything turned out amazing and we couldn't imagine our day any other way. BIG Thank you to: Karen, Chris, Anna, Chef Francisco and all of the staff at Bobak's Signature Events.

I cannot say thank you enough to Bobak's. My wedding was perfect thanks to their staff and crew. We met many times from the time we decided to go with them as well as to the day before the wedding. Our wedding was incredibly beautiful- our ceremony outside in their patio/garden, reception indoor with incredible decoration. During our wedding I had nothing to take care of- the staff made sure things went well and even make sure that my husband and I were hydrated. You cannot go wrong having your wedding at Bobaks.

My daughter had her Wedding Reception on August 9th, 2019 at Bobak's. We were very impressed and pleased with the event. Karen is a very organized and creative wedding panner. She went out of her way to make the event personal and special for the bride and groom. Also, the outdoor gardens were stunning and sitting outdoors was a highlight for the guests. Finally, our friends are still talking about how delicious the food was! We highly recommend this venue.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. My guest raved about how good the food was and were in awe of the beautiful patio. Karen and Chris were extremely accommodating to our needs and wants. Karen is truly a Godsend! She eliminated so much stress from my life. My wedding day was absolutely perfect, better than I could have ever envisioned it to be. I absolutely love this place!!

My daughter had her wedding at Bobak's on May 18, 2019. Karen is an amazing wedding planner and is very responsive to all requests. The venue looked beautiful and arranged perfectly. We received numerous compliments on the quality of the food and service. Unfortunately, it was raining at the time of the ceremony, but Karen was prepared with an alternate plan which reduced any stress around the weather. We did have the sweets table and it was picture perfect and so delicious. I highly recommend this venue for any event.

I just got married this past weekend at Bobak’s and it was everything I could have hoped it would be. Karen and her team did such an amazing job, she’s an absolute delight to work with! All night we got complaints on the food, drinks, decor and overall wonderful service my guests revived. My cake looked just as good as it tasted! I highly recommend Karen and look forward to doing more events with Bobak’s!!

When my now-husband and I were scoping out wedding venues, the most important criteria for us were ability to personalize the space, cost effectiveness, and most importantly, the efforts of the coordinators that we would be working with. Bobak's without a doubt exceeded all of our hopes for our March 16th, 2019 wedding. We had around 230 people, and working with Karen and Chris was incredibly easy. They were able to help us stay in budget while still creating the wedding of our dreams. Karen never took longer than a day to reply to emails and was incredibly flexible with changes that we made throughout the process. She was so helpful, too, in setting up some of the many decorations that we brought in, including a full size mirror and family photos to be placed on the walls. Having catering, linens, and lighting all through the same vendor made coordinating seamless, particularly as we didn't hire a wedding coordinator for the day of. As someone that works in event planning and is very detail-oriented, I was beyond impressed by Karen's attention to the little things and ability to flex as some of our needs changed. The food was great, and the service flawless from start to finish. My husband and I are forever grateful to have hosted our wedding at Bobak's - thanks for everything!

Bobaks signature events hands down is the best place to have a wedding or corporate event in the Chicagoland area. My wife and I got married there October 20th, 2018. And the day couldn’t have gone any better. Chris and Karen took care of everything so well and we didn’t have a stress in the world on the biggest day of our lives. Everyone’s so nice and the food was amazing. I highly suggest having an event at Bobak’s Signature Events if you are in the process of finding a venue for you’re big day!

We just had a wedding over the weekend and it was the most amazing wedding we could ask for. Karen, our venue coordinator, was extremely helpful and listened to what we were looking for and not how to spend the most money. Karen’s and Chris’s help gave us the wedding we were dreaming of and more! Food, amazing. Decor, stunning. Hospitality, other venues should take notes because they help you plan the wedding like if it was their own. Want a beautiful and flawless, stress-free wedding? Come here, you won’t regret it.

My husband and I got married at Bobak’s on October 20, 2018, and we do not have enough great things to say. The entire planning process leading up to our wedding day made you feel at ease - all thanks to the wonderful staff. Karen and Chris’ expertise truly made me feel like I was going to have the wedding I’ve always dreamed of having since I was a young girl - and that’s exactly how our wedding day was. The wedding day was flawless, picture-perfect, unimpaired. The service Bobak’s provides is to the utmost quality and so accommodating, and my husband and I are so impressed with how everything turned out. The food was amazing, and many of our guests told us it was the best food they’ve had at a venue. I will definitely continue to recommend Bobak’s to everyone. We cannot wait to have another event here in the future!

We had an amazing expereince at Bobak's Signature Events! Our wedding went off without a hitch and it was all thanks to their team. Karen was an amazing coordinator and kept us focused on what we needed and also provided us with great ideas! She was very easy to work with and made the whole experience amazing.
The venue was perfect for the amount of guests that we had coming and everything was decorated really well. The food, however, is the best part. Every meal is made from scratch and is so delicious. I will recommend this place to everyone I know.

I could not recommend Bobak's Signature Events enough! Karen, Anna and Chris made the wedding planning process painless and even fun. They were so flexible and accommodating and were able to make everything I wanted happen. On the day of our wedding, everything was flawless. The room, the food, the service: everything was perfection and I was not stressed at all because I knew everything would be taken care of. The outdoor property is beautiful, we even took some of our photos outside before the reception. Our guests still talk about how delicious the food was. Overall, I could not be happier with my experience.

My daughter had her wedding reception at Bobak’s on 10/20/18. Karen was our coordinator for the event. I can’t say enough good things about the job she did. Karen was super organized and gave us many tips about how to make the event special. She guided us through the menu, showed us options for room décor, and had a very detailed list of items that we needed to consider. She adapted to changes and last-minute requests, and calmly supervised everything on the night of the event. The room looked spectacular, the food was great, and people loved the sweet table. Planning the reception at Bobak’s was very easy and I highly recommend this venue.

We planned our wedding from out of state, and Karen was fantastic. She communicated with me wonderfully, responding to all my MANY questions very quickly and thoroughly. They took care of all the setup, dinner and drinks at the venue and they did all they could to make it stressless for me. For dinner, the food was incredible! Instead of soup we added a mashed potato bar during cocktail hour, which was a huge hit! The steak and chicken were delicious, cooked to perfection. We designed our wedding cake, and they decorated it, and I could not believe how BEAUTIFUL it turned out! They ran my day so I had nothing to worry about, and was able to just enjoy it. Chris was great at coordinating throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Bobak’s to anyone looking for a venue. What a great experience!

I cannot say enough great things about Bobaks! We truly wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams it weren’t for how hard Karen worked. She truly was there for me every step of the way with every little question. The ceremony and the reception were absolutely beautiful. It was more than I could’ve ever imagined. And my guests have seriously been talking about the food non stop since the wedding. They’ve all said it’s by FAR the best meal they’ve ever had a wedding and I couldn’t agree more! If I could give Bobaks more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend this venue!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Bobak's Signature Events! To start, let me say that they are the one of the most accommodating and professional banquet halls you can work with.
Almost 4 months ago, I held my bridal shower here and am still receiving compliments on how beautiful the venue looked and how delicious its food was. The meal was amazing, but the sweet table really stole the show. It had the perfect mix of Polish and American goodies, and people were constantly buzzing on how tasty everything was.
The sweet table was so delicious, that we ordered sweets for our wedding day as well! The cheesecake pops and carrot cake are a staple. They arrived in perfect condition and were a talking point throughout the night.
Thank you all so much for being the best! This review is very overdue.

I held my wedding reception here and truly enjoyed working with the staff at Bobak's. I initially chose this venue because the price was reasonable for the type of services included and because I really felt comfortable with the woman who was my venue coordinator. I worked with her for several months communicating any new decision I made regarding the reception. Then a month or so before the wedding, another staff member reached out and told me my orginal venue coordinator was leaving the company and they would be the new venue coordinator, needless to say, initially I worried and upset I wouldn't be working with the same person who had been my main contact for several months. As soon as I met, Karen, my new venue coordinator, all my worries faded away. The transition was seemless and the day of the wedding went perfectly. All of the staff from the waiters to the day of assisant were very friendly and very helpful. If I were to ever have another large event I would reach out to Bobak's first. The venue has plenty of parking, clean, beautifully decorated, great layout of the event rooms, and staff are great. Very happy with the services I received, at such a reasonable price.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here this past September. Karen is beyond amazing, truly knowledgeable, extremely helpful and true delight to work with. Chris also went beyond what we expected from our venue. The space is beautiful for both ceremony and reception. The entire staff was so friendly and kind and helpful. The venue is extremely accommodating to any all requests you may have. The food truly is delicious and paired with a reasonable price! We had an amazing experience here and I have continued to recommend Bobak’s to all other brides. My husband and I just discussed how we hope they stay open for years to come so we can throw a 10yr anniversary reception there. Seriously brides.... check them out!! Meet with Karen before you sign contracts anywhere else!

My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend this venue, not just for your perfect wedding, but for any event! The staff is incredible and truly values superior customer service. From our first meeting to our last follow-up after our wedding reception, we were so well-taken care of - the service was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. We felt as if we were family, and not just another client. The owners and our event manager, Karen, were extremely attentive and detail-oriented. They paid precise attention to what we wanted for our day, and they took all the steps necessary to make sure it was beyond perfect (and it really was). The staff has a keen eye for everything wedding - they are so experienced, which allows them to propose ideas and share insights than you may never have thought of alone. The venue is absolutely gorgeous - the inside and outside patio areas are maticulously groomed and managed. Importantly, the food is SO delicious - we have received so many compliments, some stating it was the “best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.” We don’t disagree. Overvall, you cannot go wrong with this venue and the help you’ll received from their loving staff. They truly are experts and it shows from start to finish.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on June 24. 2017. From our first contact with Karen Boedeker, to our parting hug, she was wonderful. She arranged special sentimental touches for us such as fixing the bouquet on a bridal doll centerpiece which my Grandmother had made for me fifty years ago, to finding a way to dress up each place setting with the special napkin fold I wanted. Karen listened, offered suggestions, and advocated for us. The venue was beautiful. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our guests loved the cake. And the mashed potato bar and late night cheeseburgers were unlike anything my fifty guests had before.
Karen attended to every detail for us in this once in fifty years good time. Absolutely the best.

Absolutely beautiful wedding venue. I just had my wedding here about 5 days ago. Every single person that I worked with was incredible and made the process of planning a wedding for over 300 people so easy! All of my guests could not get over how delicious the food was, and how incredibly detailed the dessert display table was. They really do go above and beyond for everything. Our room looked absolutely magical - from the decor, to the martini bar, to the dessert and appetizer tables, along with mini burgers and shots of fries after midnight. An absolutely incredible night. Many thanks to the entire Signature team - especially Karen, Chris and Anna!

BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!!!!!!!!
We just had our wedding yesterday and I am supremely confident that there is no better venue on the planet that we could have chosen. Not only is their pricing/package amazing, the service here goes so far above and beyond that by the time our wedding day came we did not have a single worry about anything that had to do with the venue. This business is family owned and operated and the benefits of that can be seen and felt every step of the way. Karen our wedding planner had everything so perfectly organized and was an amazing guide through this process. Chris and his mother (I believe they are the owners) participated in every meeting we had, and my husband and I could not imagine a more enjoyable and personal experience. Their attention to detail and thorough planning is easy and incredibly effective. The entire staff contributed to our low stress and flawlessly executed wedding! This place really is a hidden gem and I would recommend to everyone I know, without a second's hesitation, that they have their wedding here!!!!!

We were very happy in our decision to have our wedding at Bobak’s Signature Events. They made the process of planning and having the wedding as easy as possible. Our planner, Karen, was so helpful, caring, and responsive to any of our needs throughout the whole process. We had a fairly large wedding and Bobak’s was able to accommodate the size easily. What we loved most about Bobak’s was that their wedding package included almost everything you need for a reception, which greatly reduced the stress of wedding planning. They provided the food, drinks, wedding cake, fresh floral, and setup/take down all of our decorations. Bobak’s also offered a free food tasting months before the wedding so that you felt comfortable with the food selected for your menu. All of our guests made comments about how they loved the food and venue. Bobak’s really made our wedding night so special and memorable.

We just had our wedding at this venue and we absolutely loved it! (7/8/17) Karen was amazing to work with and she made sure that every detail was taken care of exactly to what we wanted. Our guests were raving about the food there! People were shocked that "wedding food" could be so good especially with our 250 person head count! The service during the reception was fantastic! If anything went wrong I wouldn't know about it, and absolutely nothing went wrong anyway! We are a dance couple and our families love to dance so we wanted the biggest dance floor we could find! What was awesome was that they build many different size floors for your event so they were more than happy to give us the biggest one they could while still fitting all our guests! They cater to your every need and are always available for the bride and groom. They are easy to talk to and work with and so accommodating. Thank you Karen and the rest of the team for making our day picture perfect! We give our highest recommendation to Bobak's. -Heather & Kevin

To Anna, Chris, Karen and the entire staff at Bobaks Signature Events.
When my husband and I got engaged we had our reception booked at the Willowbrook Ballroom. Due to a devastating fire that destroyed the Willowbrook we had to find another Venue. When we called Bobaks and spoke to Karen they still had a room available, we went the next day to book the room and we could not have been more grateful that they were able to accommodate us.
Everyone of our guest told us how wonderful the reception was and it was wonderful. Even letting us utilize both patios for our cocktail hour and our pictures. Everything from the ambiance, to the food, the service, everything was perfect. Karen was there with us from the start and her attention to detail help us make our reception perfect.
My husband and I would highly recommend Bobaks to anyone who is planning a Wedding. Even though Bobaks was not the reception hall that we wanted, Bobaks made our reception what we wanted and words cannot express how grateful we are for that. Bobaks made our wedding "perfect"

Everything was amazing!! Chris and Grace made sure our night was perfect! Planning was such a breeze -- the planners there are so talented. Our planner, Grace, helped us have a vision of what our wedding should look like and it turned out just the way I wanted. I loved every decoration and every piece. We were able to do a small walk through before our guests entered and I was just blown away. And the food was incredible. I have guests calling me still telling how they want to go back to eat more of the food (lol)! They were also so accommodating. Even if we had an unusual request they made sure to make it happen. No was definitely not in their vocabulary. I highly recommend having your event here!! They're the best!

My husband and I had a smaller, destination wedding but we wanted to throw a local celebration for extended family and friends. Bobak’s was the perfect place! They were extremely easy to work with and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. We had a limited budget but Karen and the owners really worked with us to throw a wonderful party within that budget. The room was the perfect size for our guests and the outdoor area they have is beautiful and made for some nice pictures. It was quite warm the night of our party, but even with the heat, people wanted to stroll through the garden area and take pictures on the patio. We came up with a buffet-style menu and all of our guests enjoyed the food with many making comments as to how good it was. All of the staff were helpful and friendly throughout the entire night. Chris, who was on-site with us the night of the event, made himself fully available to anything we might want or need. He was there early while we were setting up and even stayed late with us while we packed everything up to go home. I can’t say enough good things about the service and employees at Bobak’s. Thank you for making our wedding celebration so wonderful!

Julie and the Bobak's team truly gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. Not only were the very friendly and responsive, they had many good ideas to contribute and were very flexible and willing to help! The venue was gorgeous, and our guests loved people able to walk out into the flower garden during cocktail hour or even to take a break from dancing. SOOO many of our guests came up and told us that we had the BEST wedding food they had ever had (it was delicious!!!). The whole evening went so smoothly.

We LOVED absolutely everything about working with Bobaks' Signature Events. From day 1, they were so helpful and accommodating with all of our questions and requests. Liz is an absolute wonder! She was incredible throughout the whole process, and I don't think I could have made it through the dreadful planning without her. She really understood my dislike for big weddings and helped make the day feel personalized.
The food was incredible, and I cannot say enough about our appetizers. Liz never pressured us to add on anything that we didn't need, which was refreshing after most other vendors kept trying to upsell us on everything. We had a lot of trouble deciding what to include for desserts since everything at the tasting was so good! We ended up with a s'mores bar that was a huge hit.
The patio was absolutely beautiful for our outdoor wedding. Even if we would have had to move inside for rain, we still would have had the patio to our use all night long. Our guests loved being able to step outside and sit at some of the cocktail tables out in the fresh air without feeling removed from the party. We chose the venue specifically for that patio, but we didn't realize what amazing service came with it!
One last thing. On the night of the wedding, my husband's insulin pump ran out of battery(He's a T1 diabetic and needs it to survive). We were going to send a wedding party member out to get a new battery, but one of the coordinators at the hall refused. He got in the car himself, ran to the nearest store, and got us a AAA battery at nearly 10:00 at night. Absolutely incredible service from incredibly nice people. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.

From day one, we knew this was our venue. Liz was so fun and helpful in our planning process. We were on a budget, as we paid for our own wedding, and we were able to get elegance and high quality here for a great price. Our guests raved about the tasty food and hors d'oeuvres, they loved our signature drinks and whipped potato bar, and enjoyed the indoor/outdoor setting of our reception. I recommend this place to everyone!

I don't even know where to begin with the compliments. Liz has been such a joy to work with. She is always quick and happy to respond to any email with any questions, no matter how large or small (or how often you email her). We had our ceremony set for outside on the Monterrey Terrace (weather depending), and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The weather, unfortunately, is uncontrollable, so our ceremony was cool (50's) and cloudy. After the ceremony, we moved on inside for cocktail hour and the whole room (Monterrey room) was perfect, from the way the tables were set up, to the cake, to the centerpieces. The staff was so pleasant to work with. We had the martini luge, which was a BIG hit. That was able to be customizable to whatever we wanted (since our wedding was a nautical theme, we had an anchor that had our names and date of the wedding sculpted into it). Liz is full of so many wonderful ideas and is always there to help. Annnd the food was AMAZING!!! They provide the wedding cake for you (you just bring the decorations for it) but they'll make it whatever flavor you want (we did a coconut cream filling around yellow cake with a chocolate drizzle on the plate). Everyone that went said we had one of the best, if not the best, weddings they've ever been to, and if it wasn't for Liz and the rest of the Bobak's staff, it wouldn't have been that way. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You will not find a better venue than here.

My ceremony and reception were both held here. You get so much for the price. It is truely a hidden gem! Liz is wonderful and will help with soooo much! The food was great - plenty of our friends and family commented that they loved it. The website does not do this place justice. You need to visit it to see. The outdoor space is beautiful also.

I only have positive things to say about Bobak's. We choose Bobak's because it had good reviews and it was reasonably priced. We loved Bobak's because of the wedding planning process and the food. Liz was our wedding coordinator and she was great. She had great ideas but let us be ourselves. We told her some ideas we had for centerpieces and a candy table and then she showed us pictures of various ideas on that theme and told us how to construct them. Most importantly, she was very flexible and did ALL of the set-up. We gave her our glass cylinder centerpieces with silk flowers a couple of days before the wedding. She filled them with water, put the floating candles in, lit the candles, and decorated with rose petals and candles (as we had wanted). Instead of a member of the wedding needing to do this the day of the wedding or paying the florist to do it, she did everything. In fact, my mom arrived at the reception early to make sure everything was set up. She looked at everything and realized she had nothing to do! Everything was set up perfectly. Our wedding was in the Sonoma room, which we dressed up with uplighting from our DJ and draping. Everyone said it was beautiful. Everyone at the wedding raved about the food and said it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted (both the filet and the chicken). Bobak's even includes a tasty sorbet course at no extra cost. The service and food were amazing. Bobak's is probably my only wedding vendor that I don't have anything negative to say. I highly recommend it.

All of our guests loved our food and said it was above and beyond the normal "wedding" food. They are the catering company attached with Seven Bridges and we couldn't have been happier with the quality and taste of all of our wedding food. They also kept our entrees warm on the side for us so we would be able to eat once we were done doing our rounds and as soon as we finished and made our way back to the head table my MOH went to tell them we were ready and the food was already on its way. I highly recommend them!

The staff at signature events did an amazing job at making my wedding wonderful! Throughout the whole process Grace & Liz were fabulous and helpful. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly. The food was great and the banquet hall was beautiful. Every detail was taken of and I never had to worry!

Signature events is just awesome! The coordinators are so open to ideas and really try their best to make whichever idea you have become a reality. It is a great location with outdoor areas that are a great option to have. The inside is modern and is nice because it doesn't have that traditional bare banquet hall look. They give great recommendations and you know you can trust them with every decision and detail. Their food tasting is awesome...it is an entire production. They invite other couples to their tastings. It is like a reception in itself. You pick two entrees you want to try and the nice part is you get the opinions of other couples on other dishes than you chose. They bring their pastry chef, complete sweets table and you get to sample a variety of linens to be able to get a good look at some ideas. They also go on a minimum price for each room rather than a number of people and if you say you paid for 250 people and last minute 225 people show, you can use the money you spent towards appetizers, etc. I feel so much better working with this venue rather than a country club because they strictly do receptions so you know you can trust them. The coordinators really are devoted to their weddings...you know they give 110 % on each reception which is a great feeling to not have to worry whether things will get done. They also let you set up the night before if there is nothing going on the morning of. They are just so wonderful to work with and a great quality! I would recommend them to anyone getting married...I just love them!
