Empress Banquets

options were so delicious, it was hard to pick! Our guests couldn’t have enough of the filet dinner, some raves about it for days! The staff was super friendly, they went out of their way to accommodate our guest, and made the evening perfect! The planning staff was very supportive, answered all our questions and gave us beautiful ideas to make the day perfect. The space was large, with lots of places with beautiful photo opportunities. You cannot go wrong in selecting this venue for a wedding!!

t in addition to weddings!

he best wedding food I have ever had and all of our guests said the same!!

food was exceptional! I highly recommend them.

requests. The reason why I gave four stars instead of five was due to one of the bartenders working that night on our big day. He was extremely rude to our guests and at one point to my husband and I. He acted like he could not hear or understand our guests when asking for drinks and the service provided by him was very disappointing. Unfortunately, even though there were two bars open that night, he was stationed in the bar with the most convenient location for our guests. Therefore, his had most of the interaction with everyone that night. Till this day, everyone talks about what a great time they had, except "for the bartender."

h what we wanted and could afford. They responded to emails with any questions that I had promptly. All of our guests commented on how great and delicious the hors-d'oeuvres were and the dinner, steak and chicken combo. The waiters were amazing and very nice. My husband and I are extremely happy with how the venue looked when we got there and wouldn't change a thing!

h because the space is breath-taking! The food - phenomenal! My guests are still raving about the food. Tip: GET THE SWEET TABLE! It's absolutely worth it! Guests were over there all night - it was certainly one of the highlights of the evening! The staff was amazing - all my questions were answered and everyone was so accommodating to both the guests and the wedding party! Thank you for making the day magical!

tic wedding. After a while, banquet halls all appear to be similar, but not the Empress. The Empress Team (Gus, Bill, and Carmela) separate themselves from the rest of the pack in a number of ways. They did everything possible to ensure that the wedding went smoothly. They worked with us to ensure that the price of the event would be reasonable. You will not find a better price and you will not be disappointed with what you get for that price (pretty much everything). They took the time to listen and to give my wife and I what we wanted. They accommodated us every step of the way. In the week up to the wedding, they made sure to touch base with us to ensure that everything was proceeding as planned leading up to the event, even if it wasn't about the venue or the food. The day before the wedding, our limousine company could not provide us with a limo due to complications outside their control. I asked Gus who he recommended and he gave me two names to run with immediately. I appreciated that. Then came the big day - the food was amazing; better than our tasting. The appetizers and dessert table (from what we saw and heard) were spectacular - fresh, laid out in a professional and classy fashion, and delicious. The room itself, while decorated by a different company, was lit up perfectly. Pin spots highlighted the beautiful flowers and the up lighting gave the room a calm, relaxed feeling. The open bar kept the drinks flowing and the alcohol kept our guests happy. We are still receiving compliments about the wedding. Lastly, Gus was fantastic to work with and his main priority for us was to make sure that the event looked good and went smoothly. I cannot express my thanks enough - not only did the team's accessibility and willingness to worm with us make our life easier, it gave my wife the wedding she wanted. You will not be disappointed if you choose the Empress.

tes from guests before they were done with their entrees. The servers were also walking on the dance floor during my first dance with my new husband and with my father aswell. It's not like they couldn't walk it between the tables. But they are in quite a few pictures. I'm trying to find someone to edit them out. Dealing with the people in the office was probably my least favorite part. From trying to get a hold of someone to talking to 4 different people about details for the wedding, it was frustrating to say the least. Just make sure you literally only deal with Gus the owner. It makes things easier and if you do deal with anyone other than him just make sure you have every detail in writing. It will help take some stress off your shoulders the week of the wedding or event. I wouldn't say it was a horrible experience. And I would recommend them. Just be organized because you'll save your self from back tracking and being stressed. The food was top notch. The prices were very reasonable for what you actually get. Venue, bar, food, cake, lighting, and chairs with table setups. Not priced badly at all.

nificant it may have seemed to be. Thank you all so much for making our special day perfect and stress free!!

y expectations with decorating and making sure everything ran smoothly. Not to mention this was the most affordable venue we could find. Highly recommend!

n! My wedding turned out amazing and I wish I could do it over and over again!

r wedding special. The food was fabulous...all of our guests came up to me at the reception and told us how good the food was. Empress truly gave me the wedding of my dreams. They made the room exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it, down to every last detail. I walked into my own reception and started crying because of how perfect it looked and how perfect the whole night was thanks to Empress. I am so so happy that we chose them for our wedding reception. I would do it 100 times over!

, it was Empress. Perfect for us, it was located in the suburbs which is exactly where we had been looking to have our wedding. We went to five venues, but the Empress stood out. Not only was the location ideal, the ambiance was perfect as it was the exact look I wanted. From our initial meeting with Gus, he seemed genuinely interested in meeting our needs and was very accommodating. I was anxious about the food but he offered for us to have a tasting before even signing the contract. It was an easy decision and we immediately signed. As for the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. The guests commented on how delicious everything tasted down to the soup that was served. It was a relief to hear these positive comments because wedding food is always memorable (especially when it’s bad)! We had a large wedding and there was some last minute hecticness, yet his team was patient and understanding through it all. I didn’t have to worry about anything and they were so gracious in handling it all. The venue was certainly beautiful and the pictures turned out great. Empress exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to work with Gus and his team again. Empress Banquets was one of the best and easiest choices of our wedding.

ace out. Called twice and no one returned a call. Definitely does not deserve my business.

elicious and the steaks were cooked perfectly. I've been getting non stop phone calls about how amazing everything was.

gh an entire remodeling project and it couldn't be more marvelous than what it is now! It is beautifully decorated and the staff is absolutely amazing! Gus truly went above and beyond our requests and was very patient with our constant changes. Our guest are still talking about how beautiful the venue is and how delicious the food was!

tly remodeled beautifully, its neutral color palette was a big plus for me as some halls use overpowering colors that clash with the palette you have for your wedding. The overall atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. You can spend less money decorating it because its so elegant. As for the food I hardly ate anything that day besides soup and salad just because your running around and greeting people but I received tons of compliments on the food from my guests-especially on the soup and pasta. Overall I had no compliments- they did an awesome job.

orgeous. I can't say enoughwonderful things about the Empress! Thank you Empress!!!!!

o anyone and i will be doing all my events there in the future.

that we will never ever forget so I truly thank them all. From the moment we walked in and sat down we felt at home. Gus and Tammy knew exactly how to make all of my ideas come to reality. They we're patient and kind and willing to go the extra mile to help us with all that we needed. Our wedding day was one for the record books because of The Empress Banquets. Everything was set up exactly the way that We envisioned it. with a few little extras added in there. I truly felt like I was surrounded by family. No task was to big or too small for them. They handled everything so wonderfully. All of my guests were so impressed with everything. The venue, The ambiance, The staff, and THE FOOD. the food was FANTASTIC, You don't even need to have a tasting. Believe me when I tell you.. The chefs are amazing. I got married a month ago and People are still telling me how good the food was. Like I said everything was great. Still waiting on wedding photos so that I can upload them.. I would tell everyone about this location and suggest them to EVERYBODY. I already have. GUS and TAMMY and the whole EMPRESS staff.. from the bottom of our hearts we thank you guys so much.. You are amazing and wonderful people and it was awesome getting to know you. May God bless you and your business for many many many years to come. We love you guys. The Temple's

rned out wonderfully. Aparently they were short staffed the day of my wedding. As a result, Gus, the owner, actually stepped in as a server to ensure that all meals were delivered to the table when they were still extremely warm. I highly recommend this venue.

end. Please note that the police do have a check point on Saturday nights down the road from there so be sure your guests don't drink and drive!

ed from a great Italian bakery. There had to have been 2 000 candles in the room all lit by the staff. Everything was perfect.

ery elegant and affordable.
