Manzo's Banquets

We had our wedding on 2/24/24 and everything was AMAZING! We have gotten so many compliments on the friendly staff and delicious food. We worked with Manzo's for 18 months leading up to the wedding and they were amazing to work with. Everyone was kind and helpful and willing to help with any requests we had! The facility was clean and well-maintained. The food was the best part! Thank you for making our day amazing Manzo's!

We held our wedding reception at Manzo's Banquets and we were so impressed by the attention to detail provided by Colleen who helped us every step of the planning process. From the event timeline to the dessert table, she made sure nothing was overlooked. The reception ballroom was decorated beautifully and the meal was incredible. Our guests stated over and over again that the meal was the best wedding food they have ever experienced. Additionally, the staff at Manzo's are so well trained and polite. Our guests really loved the ability to bring food home as the meal was not only delicious, but we were served generous portions as well. My husband and I highly recommend Manzo's!

Weddings and receptions are a lot of work and thankfully, we booked our wedding and reception at Manzo’s Banquets. They helped us every step of the way, made suggestions and answered all our questions. The venue is amazing and the price is unbeatable. Monserrat was so great in helping us plan our special day and we are forever grateful for their hospitality and assistance.

I just had my wedding at Manzo’s on 12/16/22. It was really the best day ever. From the moment, we visited the venue…it just felt right. Peter, the owner, sat down with my husband and I and went over their packages. Every package was affordable and they work around your budget. Peter was patient and accommodating. Great customer service! Colleen was also so sweet. Every time we went for an appointment, she was so helpful and provided tips/advice when I couldn’t make a decision. The day of the wedding, people talked about how good the food was. They loved the vesuvio chicken, the potatoes, and the pasta. What I loved was that any left over food/cake, they packed it up in to go containers for our guests. Everything was great and I would recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for an affordable venue with great customer service.

Krystyna and the team at Manzo’s was absolutely amazing!! From our first meeting to the morning after our wedding Krystyna and her team were extremely helpful. All of the servers and staff were polite and extremely professional. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and couldn’t believe how much of it there was. Krystyna and her team were there whenever we had questions and were extremely accommodating, especially when it came to holding onto items that were forgotten by our guests. If we could go to Manzo’s for dinner we would because the food and service is AMAZING!! Thank you so much for making our special day the best!! Rich and Liz

I cannot begin to explain how amazing Manzo’s has been to us. We just had our wedding on 10/08/21 in the crystal ballroom and it exceeded my expectations. Manzo’s worked with us when we had to postpone due to the pandemic. We maintained communication for over a year and they helped me stay organized. All of my guests loved the food, especially the rigatoni with al la vodka sauce. They are super accommodating and deserve all the praise. They even provided food for my guests with specific allergies and dietary restrictions at no additional cost. A lot of things are included that we noticed other venues charged extra for, like the LED lighting and colored napkins. They made sure everyone was taken care of but especially my husband, the bridal party, and even our parents. My dad mentioned he felt special for the service provided because they recognized he was the father of the bride. The manager even brought my husband and I a drink when we were taking photos away from everyone. I felt like a princess. Our wedding ended at midnight and no one wanted to leave. I think we finally got everyone out at 12:30 am. Plus, I left my purse and realized it when we were at the hotel so we went back and they were still there and had it safe in their office for me. Overall, just amazing first class people. They provided the definition of excellent customer service. I will definitely be booking here again for future events.

My husband and I hosted our wedding/reception at Manzo's in July of 2021 and we can't speak more highly of the staff and quality of the event! We worked with Peter, Krystyna, and Samantha and everyone was very responsive and thorough. We received plenty of positive feedback, however, the most consistent was the food. The family style option was a bonus since it gave our guests plenty of options to choose from. If you're looking for an exceptional venue to host any of your events at, we highly recommend Manzo's! Thank you for everything you did for us! :) -The Victors

I had both my daughter’s wedding showers at Manzo’s! Krystyna was extremely helpful and attentive as was the staff during our event! The food was delicious! I would recommend this venue for your next event! Thank you so much on a job well done,

COVID-19 has been extremely hard on businesses, so I can actually empathize with Manzo's and understand why they have been trying their best to salvage every cent they can. However, Manzo's Banquets has made a difficult year, so much more difficult for some of my family members. I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere for your wedding, and would be happy to share any additional details on my family's poor experience with Manzo's (feel free to reach out).

On March 30, 2019, my wife and I booked Manzo's Banquets to have our wedding reception at. Our wedding reception was supposed to have happened on April 4, 2020. We were slated to have 250+ people at our wedding. By early March, we paid thousands of dollars in deposits. On March 14, 2020, we agreed to switch the date of our wedding to October 17, 2020 given the COVID pandemic. Manzo's informed us that we would have to pay an additional amount of money to move the date to October, which we did. The following months, we monitored the situation surrounding the COVID pandemic when we learned in early July of Governor Pritzker’s order restricting weddings to only 50 people or less. Around July 7, 2020, we called Manzo's to determine what our options were given the restrictions on wedding sizes. We were told our only options were that we move the wedding to a later date in 2021 or move forward with a 50-person wedding. We were opposed to moving our wedding date back any further so we decided on moving forward with a 50-person wedding. A 50-person wedding given the package we chose would have come out to significantly less than the 250-person wedding we were scheduled to have. So, we requested a refund of our deposit for anything over 50 people. Manzo's refused our refund and stated in order for us to have a 50-person wedding, we would need to pay the full amount for 250 people. After this conversation, we reviewed the agreement we signed. It is clear that nothing in the agreement we signed requires us to pay for 250 people when we are only allowed 50 people. Given Governor Pritzker’s order, Manzo’s is unable to accommodate 250 people at its venue. We are not required under any agreement or by law to bear the cost of Manzo’s inability to perform under the agreement. It has become clear from our dealings with Manzo's that they have no intention of refunding our money and have acted in bad faith since Governor Pritzker's orders came into effect. On August 28, 2020, we sent a final letter to Manzo’s demanding a refund of our deposit. Given Manzo’s unwillingness to be reasonable, we were now requesting a full refund of our deposit. On August 29, 2020, Manzo’s responded to our letter stating that they do not offer any monetary refunds. Given this, we had no choice but to file a complaint against Manzo’s. Our case is currently pending in Cook County. Manzo’s has informed us that they will only give us a refund if the court orders them to do so. The amount of stress and anxiety this has caused my wife and I has been extremely unsettling. Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and refrain from engaging in any business with Manzo’s. Biggest regret I have is choosing to do any business with this venue.

This business has been extremely unreasonable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Attempting to strong arm customers into paying for services they won’t receive because of government mandates!

STAY AWAY FROM MANZO’S. They take your money and refuse to give you a refund. They tried to offer my cousin a food voucher instead of a return of her money. Do not do business with such a shady company.

Save yourself the headache! Do not book with this place. Given everything that is going on Manzo’s have been insensitive & very inconsiderate! They are money hungry and they do no not care about their clients. This has truly been the worst experience my husband and I have ever had with a banquet hall.

Manzo’s Banquet Hall was more than we could have ever dreamed of for our wedding venue! We worked closely with Krystyna and Lauren who helped with every detain and planning aspect of our reception. The hall is elegant, beautiful, and always spotless. The food was exceptional. Guests from our wedding are still talking about how delicious the food was. The service at Manzo’s is top notch. Our wedding had over 300 guests, each of who were served at the same time. The staff at Manzo’s followed through with each and ever detail. They were organized and all our requests were documented to assure they were carried out. We traveled an hour to this venue and it was worth the trip for us and our guests. I would recommend Manzo’s to all engaged couples who want to have an exceptional wedding!!!

We hosted a large 50th Anniversary Celebration for the non profit, SIDS of Illinois, Inc. and we were thrilled with the staff and the food! Would highly recommend Manzo's for your celebrations!

I am extremely disappointed in Manzo's Banquets right now. My son was supposed to have his wedding in May, which has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Because having their wedding cancelled isn't heartbreaking enough, Manzo's has refused to refund their deposit. They have offered to reschedule the event, but my son has accepted a job offer and is moving out of state this summer. The wedding was specifically scheduled around their move. I understand that Manzo's has a business to run, but they aren't the only ones who have been financially impacted by this unprecedented situation. While I appreciate their offer to reschedule the event, they should also be willing to refund the deposit in situations where rescheduling is not a viable option. It would be one thing if we had cancelled the event on our own, but this was out of our control. I realize that this pandemic is also outside of Manzo's control, but they do have a choice about whether or not to refund money for a deposit. To keep the deposit for an event that cannot realistically be rescheduled is unethical. Shame on you, Manzo's!

As soon as my husband and I walked into Manzo’s we instantly fell in love. Lauren was an absolute gem to work with. She answered our hundreds of questions with no hesitation. She made the planning process a breeze which took a huge load off my chest. When we found out she left we were heartbroken but Krystina stepped in and took good care of us. We had our wedding in the Crystal ballroom and Manzo’s exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing. Family and friends still talk about it almost a month later. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true!

Manzo's was the venue our committee of 8 chose for our 60th high school class reunion, and we couldn't have been happier. Lauren and Krystina were helpful and accommodating in every way... even with our last minute changes. The Gala Room was set up exactly the way we had planned and the serving staff/bartender could not have been nicer. Our classmates were pleased with our choice. We would definitely recommend them.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Manzo's on April 12, 2019 and it was pure perfection. From the first point of contact, the response time was quick but informative and regardless of who we spoke to their attention to customer service was excellent. I can't even really explain how patient Krystyna was with us. We had a short engagement and married 6 months after getting engaged and Krystyna helped me, made recommendations, and extended so much grace when I forgot to give her the information that she needed or was delayed in getting it to her. The venue itself is gorgeous and they did not miss any details. When we visited we loved it and felt confirmation that we had found our place! Doing the tasting I almost cried over how delicious everything was. My husband and I LOVE food and as such it was imperative that our wedding meal be cry worthy and memorable for all our guest. I shared my timeline and vision with Krystyna and she helped us to execute it to perfection for our ceremony. She, and everyone at Manzo's went above and beyond to take care of me and every person attending. Their hospitality is unmatched and we still have family and friends talking about the great service they received a month later. For example, during the cocktail hour the wedding party and immediate family had to take pictures and Manzo's had servers bring out appetizers to where we were so that we would not miss out. I was so grateful as the selections we made were sooooooo delicious and I can't thank them enough for making sure that we were able to partake. During dinner, adjustments were made for some our guests that needed a different entree (whoops I overlooked that getting married on a Friday right before Easter meant that our Catholic loved ones couldn't eat meat). Manzo's accommodated immediately and flawlessly and that night I was blissfully unaware of any issues. I was able to enjoy our day to the fullest because of their unreal hospitality. They truly are the best ever and would recommend them to anyone, any day, for ever and ever!

Hosted my parent's wedding anniversary in the Lido room. The room was cozy, elegant and perfect for our 115 guests. We received so many compliments on the food, which was fresh and delicious. Also, Krystyna was so helpful, she answered all my questions and concerns from day one and responded right away to my emails/calls. She was there the night of the event and assisted with our slide show and other arrangements, such as the red carpet runway. The customer service and servers were great!

We LOVED working with Krystyna at Manzo's. She was our contact since we first toured the venue up until the day of our wedding! She was very friendly, and professional, and she answered all our questions and provided advice. The venue itself is gorgeous. Our wedding was in the Crystal ballroom and my husband, myself, and our families really loved it. We took pictures in the lobby with their beautiful chandelier, by the fireplace, outside with their lighted signs, etc. The food was amazing too! We went with the family style dinner and everyone was happy about the amount of food that was provided! Overall we were very excited and happy that we used Manzo's for our wedding venue!

We celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday debut at Manzos. It was perfect! It exceeded my expectations. Aside from how beautiful the place is, the service was excellent. The food was delicious! Lauren is awesome and was very patient during the planning process and was so flexible up to the last minute changes. The event happened when it was cold and snowing but everything went smoothly. The location is very convenient, it is very spacious, with ample parking and since we had a very specific theme, the setup and packing were so easy. I am so happy with how everything turned out with my daughter's birthday at Manzos.

Manzos Banquets was the nicest venue I have been too. Not only is it located in a prime location, but their employees, servers, bartenders are all great! The price you pay is a great deal for what is all included!! The food is absolutely amazing, we got so many compliments on it, and to this day still talk about the food!!

We had our ceremony and wedding at Manzo's on August 18, 2018 - the hall is beautiful, the food was very good, exactly the same as at the tasting! We did family style and were very happy with our choice. We received a lot of help and assistance from everyone at Manzo's, all of our questions were answered in a timely matter. The bridal suite was great and helpful throughout the evening. We received a lot of compliments on the hall and food. We were very happy with our event!

Everyone at Manzo's has been absolutely great throughout the whole planning process, from answering my five million questions to taking numerous phone calls and suggestions, and in general just calming my nerves. The execution of our wedding was just amazing, and they helped so much on the day-of with getting everyone where they were supposed to be. No need for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator at all! glad I never got one. Got tons of compliments from guests about food and service! thank you guys so much! -Kate & Kamil Z.

My husband and I are so incredibly pleased with this venue after hosting our wedding here on 10/06/2018! The service was phenomenal from the day that we first toured the facility almost 18 months ago all the way through to our day. The staff was incredibly accomodating, the Lido Room is beautiful, the food was SO good (people are still talking about it), AND the price was unbeatable. I could not have chosen a more perfect venue to start this new chapter in our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The staff was wonderful and the lido room was decorated beautifully I love this place and would hve more events there. Food was great also.

Amazing food and overall experience! Most of the staff was extremely helpful! The wedding went flawlessly on their part and the arch they provided was beautiful!!

We celebrated our wedding reception on March 17, 2018, St. Patrick's day and it was wonderful. It was so easy to set everything up with them, they are very professional there is always someone in the office to answer any questions. Our party was perfect, the food was amazing, the renovations they recently made makes the place look even better than before. Our guests are still talking about the potatoes!! The roasted potatoes were a big hit. I can't say enough about this place, it made our special day truly complete. Thank you, to all the Manzo's staff.

Had my wedding here and it was absolutely amazing!

Amazing experience for our wedding. The food portions were huge, and the food was incredible. Staff was attentive and made the night perfect. 100% recommend.

We had our wedding on June 24 the venue was great as well as the food. Everyone at Manzo's was extremely helpful and made sure my wedding day went off without a hitch. I would definitely recommend them

Manzo’s was the perfect venue for us. From the minute we walked into the door Manzo’s won us over with their great wedding package, beautiful facilities and incredible service. Krystyna and team assisted us throughout the planning process and was so accommodating for all of our "special" additions to make our day personal for us. We felt so cared for and we were able to really enjoy our day because of the team at Manzo’s took care of every detail for us. Their staff was excellent, attentive and so kind throughout the entire night. The food was absolutely fantastic, our guests are still raving about everything today. They without a doubt made our day special day with memories that will last us a lifetime.

We had a really great experience here. We needed a lot of space for our 300 guests so we wanted a traditional banquet hall at a reasonable price. Manzo's was very affordable and it is very nice, clean and well kept up. The food was great. The large dance floor was a blast for all of our guests. We definitely recommend!

My wife and I got married here on October 1st 2016. I can't say enough about the staff. They are so helpful, sharp, and so great to work with. So many people told me they loved the food too. We got married in the Crystal room and they decorated it very beautifully. The service was great, they worked with our DJ, photographer and, videographer great. We definitely had many things we wanted customized and they were very easy to work with all the way through. Honesty couldn't be happier with them.

After visiting numerous venues, my husband and I selected Manzos for our wedding reception. We cannot say enough great things about it! The management is spectacular. So professional and patient and always available to answer questions or provide some great tips. The tasting was out of this world. The food is unbelievable -- 4 months later and my guests are still raving about it. The venue staff were friendly and efficient. I had no cares or concerns on my wedding day, which is exactly as it should be, and that is due in very large part to the excellent management and expertise of this banquet facility.

We had our wedding at Manzo’s Banquet Hall in July 2016. The venue is exactly what I was looking for. The food was excellent, and there was so much of it. The guests were surprised that the food just kept coming out. The room was gorgeous; I especially loved the chandeliers. The venue was a huge part of our successful wedding. I would recommend Manzo’s Banquet Hall to anyone looking for a place for their wedding.

Manzo's is absolutely fantastic and we are so beyond happy with how our wedding turned out. The banquet hall itself is newly remodeled and gorgeous. We were in the Crown Room and the new dance floor is stunning - the original floor was a bit dated, but now it is a glossy, lustrous white that makes the room seem much more spacious and beautifully reflects all of the lighting. We hosted 112 people including the vendors, and that amount of people plus a fairly large DJ setup and photo booth filled the room up perfectly. The staff is super knowledgable and very easy to work with - I emailed them about a zillion times (just ask Briana and Krystyna haha) and they were always quick to respond and provided us with all of the information we needed. They have a variety of packages to choose from and they offer many add-ons such as chiavari chairs, table valences, colored napkins, and many other things to personalize your dream wedding. They were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process and made the big day run incredibly smoothly. The guests could not stop talking about the delicious food (we loved it at our tasting prior to the event, but unfortunately didn’t have much time to enjoy it during dinner haha) and the exceptionally obliging staff. We have been told by many of our guests that our wedding was the best they had been to in a very long time, and we have Manzo's to thank for it! We would recommend this facility to everyone and are looking for reasons to throw another party just so we can go back!

We had our wedding reception at Manzos and are so happy that we did! The staff was so easy and nice to work with! Any ideas that we had they were willing to work with. I would highly recommend Manzos to anyone!

We absolutely loved everything Manzo's had to offer, and we had the time of our lives here. My wife and I checked out numerous venues, and struck out with several as they just didn't have everything we wanted. Being the typical groom, my two main concerns were the price and the food. We eventually checked out Manzo's, where we met Peter and his staff who were very courteous and were able to help us plan out something affordable yet classy. We then came out to one of their tasting events and that's where we fell in love. The food they served was immaculate! Our guests even agreed when they asked for boxes to take their meals home (when's the last wedding you've been to where the food was so good, you wanted to take it home?!?). Overall, an excellent venue for all budgets.

I am the maid of honor for my sisters wedding which is coming up shortly. We decided to have her bridal shower at Manzo's Banquets. This place is absolutely gorgeous! The blue ceilings in the hallway are stunning and the room we were in was amazing. When we walked into the room it was exactly how I pictured it to be. I was the one setting up all the details for my sister and they did exactly how I ask. The managers were so nice to work with and very accommodating to all of my crazy request. Especially on the day of the event I must of bother then 100 times, but they never seemed to mind. The food we had was so delicious. We went with individual plated luncheon and I did not expect there to be so much food, I was not even able to finish my entire plate. My family could not stop complimenting me on how beautiful the room was and how good the food was. I could not have done this without the help of Manzo's! This is definitely a banquet hall worth checking out, even for weddings!!

Manzo's banquets is a wonderful place to have your wedding got so many reasons! My husband and I had our reception there last week (July 18, 15) and have been planning since last June. Everything turned out better than we had expected. I personally worked with Briann to plan the event. She helped with pricing, providing tasting dates that worked for us (we actually planned the wedding from GA), designing the colors and settings we wanted, helping us pick a cake, and even packaging food from the reception the same night that I could have taken to my grandmother whom couldn't attend. The place was gorgeous, the food is still being raved about by our guests, the champaign and orderves were perfect, and manzo's staff even set up the tables for us with all of the center pieces, name settings, and other frames and special touches we had--it was so nice not to worry about that! The staff is hard working, the place is gorgeous, the food is out-of-this-world good, and the price is ABSOLUTELY affordable. We are so glad we went with Manzo's! Will be adding photos :)

We had our wedding on October 4th. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Everything was prefect!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the crystal room at Manzo's. We shopped a few venues and found that Manzo's had the best value for our money. Everyhthing was beautiful and the food was fantastic. We opted for the combination plate with filet mignon and lemon chicken. Our guests were very impressed as were we. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with. On the day of our wedding they handled everything and it was just what we had wanted. I would reccomend Manzo's to anyone getting married!

Manzo's was an awesome place to have any type of party Maria and Theresa both worked with me and our budget, they made our day so special from the centerpieces to the outstanding food to the backdrop colors. The food was so amazing I received so many compliments the cake looked and taste amazing even our sweet table looked amazing I would do all my parties here in the near future and was amazing. Thank you Maria and Theresa for all the help and advice you guys are awesome I would recommend your services to everyone I know a million thank you.

THIS PLACE IS GREAT, starting from the staff (This is a family owned and operated) They are very organized, they offer tons of options, everything is so clean , and the day of the wedding they catered to all my needs. All my guest were pleased with the location. The best part is the food is AMAZING !!!! Truly a gem

If you're looking to have a traditional banquet hall wedding, you needn't look further than Manzo's. I've been coming here for family functions my entire life so it was a no brainer for me. Their service is impeccable, their food is perfect and they can accommodate all budgets and events. The personal antipasto plates we had at my wedding impressed my guests, and everything is FRESH and comes out hot! They definitely know what they're doing and will work with you on whatever you want. They made my special day that much more special!

I reccommend Manzo's to every bride in the Chicagoland area. They worked so closely with my family and I. Every little detail we mentioned to them was taken care of. The hall is gorgeous and all my guests we in awe of the way it looked. Their food was amazing and no one left my wedding hungry. They included everything in their package from chair sashed to open bar to my wedding cake to the pastry table. Everything was perfect and I received nothing but excellent compliments from all my guests. They made my reception perfect!

This facility held a magical wedding reception for us. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect for a wedding reception! All of our vendor have told us how easy the venue was to work with. We were able to pick from a wide selection of chair covers & napkins as well as have many choices on what to have for dinner. We were also able to choose a beautiful, elaborate sweet table as well as an amazing ice sculpture. We were more than happy with this venue!!!!

Joe and his wife made our reception a dream come true. When we arrived at our wedding they let myself (the bride) and my family into the banquet room before our guests and it took my breath away! They took care of everything. 4 days before the wedding we dropped off everything we needed set up in the hall and they had everything set up perfectly! It was absolutely beautiful! To top it off, they were constantly coming around to check on us and made us feel completely at ease. The best part, however, was the food!!! Their food was absolutely incredible. By far the best wedding food I have ever eaten! I would recommend Manzo's to any bride who wants the comfort of knowing that everything will be a dream come true!
