The Brookside Banquets

nted and more!! I truly 100% recommend anyone looking for a wedding venue to highly reach out to this venue, because we still continue to get praises for how beautiful the place is, how delicious the food was, and how amazing the staff were. It was definitely a night to remember!

ff, the food, drinks, and best of all coctail hour was amazing with thier presentation. The staff were very professional and very attentive with our guest, especially with my husband and I.

d better than we could have ever imagined. All our friends and family are still raving about how good the food was and how beautiful the venue is. I can’t recommend The Brookside Banquets enough! AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond to deliver the perfect day for my husband and me and made my family, and I feel like we had nothing to worry about. They were so communicative, answered all our questions, and worked with us to do everything we wanted. Thanks to Arthur and Christina and The Brookside Banquets staff, our wedding was perfect.

remely accommodating. Our wedding went off without a hitch. Our guests all commented about the beauty of the space and quality and variety of food. One of my cousins recently asked (3 months later) if we can have another event there so she could have the food from the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this venue.

taff is so nice and accommodating! We had the best wedding!

ond to make sure we were happy. Their attentiveness and communication was greatly needed especially since we were planning a wedding out of state in a pandemic. The day itself was more beautiful than I could have imagined it thanks to Arthur and his crew!

that we will never forget. Everyone was kind, helpful, and attentive. The food was amazing and the hall looked amazing. Our guests all complimented how amazing the food was from cocktail hour to dinner. There were also many compliments on the setup of the cocktail room to the banquet room. The staff was attentive and helpful to our guests and the service throughout the night was impeccable. We couldn’t have asked for anything better on our wedding day and greatly appreciate all that the staff at Brookside banquets did to make it such a special day. Should we need to have another huge event we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to The Brookside Banquets.

G! The hospitality shown was top notch . All of my guests talked about how great the food was, how generous the bartenders were, the top shelf bar, the quality service etc. I’d definitely recommend this venue

the area. The food was absolutely incredible. There was more food in the cocktail hour than I could’ve imagined. But what puts the Brookside apart is the service. Arthur remembered that my husband and I were big sushi lovers and made sure during all the chaos that we had a plate of sushi to ourselves. It’s that added thoughtfulness that meant the most to us.

e blown away by the food, The short rib dinner was delicious. Our friends and family really loved cocktail hour. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. The venue was immaculate. My bridal attendant. MEL - She was OUTSTANDING- she was incredibly nice and warm . It was like she was reading my mind. She was so helpful and attentive.

enue. Arthur, the owner, is amazing and was so helpful through the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone.

. He runs a tight ship and is very helpful.

inal wedding reception date was set for August 2020. We still got married, but of course, COVID-19 caused us to postpone our reception. We rescheduled it for November 2020 and had to unfortunately postpone again. Arthur and Lorraine were so accommodating during this entire time with our all our changes. When we finally got to celebrate this May 2021, it was definitely worth the wait. My husband and I are big foodies, and the menu did not disappoint. From the cocktail hour to the dinner, to the cake, and the open bar...everything tasted amazing. Our guests keep talking about the food and how delicious it all was. The cocktail hour space and how all the food was arranged was so beautiful. The main ballroom upstairs is a modern space that you can make your own. The service was well paced and everyone was so pleasant. My bridal attendant Sylvette was so nice. She was always there to help myself and my husband if we needed anything. I have to say, that our reception was perfect from start to finish. This reception was not only a celebration of our marriage, but also the first gathering where we saw most of our family and friends since COVID-19 restrictions began. We are actually sad that we will not be working with Arthur, Lorraine, and the Brookside family anymore, but we will be sure to refer other friends and family to them if anyone is looking for a wedding reception venue. Thank you again to the Brookside family for making our wedding dreams a reality.

month. I have worked with a lot of venues and Brookside exceeded all expectations. Their team was so accommodating and helpful through every request. The bartenders, waiters, and staff were beyond respectful and hospitable. Even the food was amazing! I cannot wait to work with their team again!

20 wedding but due to covid had to postpone and change venues. I found The Brookside Banquets, and immediately emailed Arthur to see if they could accommodate our smaller wedding. He did that and so much more, no questions asked! Arthur and Lorraine were there every step of the way to make our day amazing. From the food, to the beautiful venue, to their warm Hospitality and answering any question I had, they truly made our day so amazing. I could never thank them enough for accommodating us. The venue speaks for itself, as it truly is so beautiful. Our guests were commenting all night on how perfect our space was, from the grand ballroom to the decor and ceremony space. They loved every aspect of our more intimate wedding, and I truly cannot thank Arthur, Lorraine, and Silvette (our bridal suite attendant) enough. You all are absolute angels. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. -Krystal & Alexis

hey were always a phone call away and offered all the help they could throughout the whole process. You couldn't ask for nicer people to work with. My family constantly received compliments from guests about the beautiful venue and the amazing food here. Make sure your party has the penne vodka, chicken francese, sausage and peppers, seafood paella, and galamad-- it all was a big hit! The day of the party, all we were able to relax and enjoy the experience. The venue was beautifully lit and decorated. The staff went out of their way for anything we needed and were on top of everything. There was never a line or wait at the bar either. Everything was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend the Brookside enough!

stina was amazing and helped our whole wedding day run smoothly. All of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was! Everything was perfect and The Brookside took care of everything which made the whole process stress free. I would highly recommend this venue!

and the venue literally sparkles. Not only did we fall in love with the venue, but we created such an incredible bond with the owners and staff. We want to thank Christine, Lorraine, Arthur and the Brookside staff from the bottom of our hearts for making our day magical and memorable. We are so sad that this day came and went because we are going to truly miss working with the Brookside family. That is exactly how they treated us, like family from start to finish. They eased our mind of any concerns or questions. They went above and beyond all expectations. We could not imagine our wedding elsewhere. It was honestly a dream come true. Our guests are still raving about our wedding until this day. Also, the food was freaking amazing! Best cocktail hour hands down and dinner did not disappoint. I would defiantly recommend the salmon. To any future engaged couple looking for the perfect venue and awesome people to work with please check out the Brookside. I promise it will be the one best decisions you’ve made. Love, Nyaja & Marc

taking. At every event I said when ever got remarried I was having my wedding here. Well, 11/03/19 was my turn!. ! Simply put “Thank You”. Thank you so much for making our planning and wedding one of the best amazing day of our lives. It would not have been possible without your style, grace, and love. It was a perfect day. When I walked out of the bridal suite my eyes were over whelmed with tears! I was absolutely blown away. The ballroom embodied a atmosphere of absolute perfection. It’s simply TOOK MY BREATH AWAY. I remember how I was so stressed with the guest list & the RSVP. I called Lorraine several times to vent. She answered the calls “Good Morning Brookside Banquets how can I assist you today.” The anxiety left. Each call turned into a therapy session. The calmness in her voice and her reassurance it was going to be okay. At the end of each call she said, “You’re going to have a beautiful wedding and be a beautiful bride.” She was right. Our guests had a wonderful time. I recalled a few saying this place is a hidden gem. How did you find it? They continuously praised the venue. the food and bar! Lorraine and here staff were there whenever we needed them or our guest. They went beyond the call of duty. The team was extremely professional and provided quality customer service. The food was amazing and delicious. We received wonderful feedback from our family and friends. A few of the guest asked are they ever going to stop feeding us. The reality is there is nowhere better than Brookside Banquets. My advice to anyone looking for a venue for any occasions consider the “Brookside Banquet” you won’t regret it! Tony and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to all the amazing staff at Brookside Banquets. Thank you all for making 11/03/19 so very, very special in my heart. Lorraine, a very special thank you for keeping this bride from turning into a Bridezilla. My entire night was perfect! Tony and Balinda Turner

r event at The Brookside Banquets!

autiful venue. My husband is not a man of many words, but when he saw The Brookside, all he said was "wow.” I instantly knew this was the place where we would be celebrating our wedding based on his reaction alone. Everything from the décor to the staff is spectacular: John helped us plan every detail, Lorraine smoothly and professionally coordinated services the day of, and my bridal attendant, Savett, attentively met my and my bridal party’s needs. The day of any wedding brings high stress and anxiety, and I cannot express how grateful we all were for Savett’s cool, calming nature. I couldn’t be more satisfied with The Brookside Banquets for our wedding and would highly recommend this venue for any event.

e sure my big day was extra special and I got everything I wanted. Christina did an excellent job with the decor. the staff were professional and made sure my husband and I were taking care off all night. The food was amazing. They were also aware and accepting of my son with autism; making sure he was comfortable! Thank you again to everyone at the Brookside for making sure my guests, husband and I enjoyed the night.

ast eight other venues before going to Brookside and the prices were competitive. Everything was perfect the night of the event!

ut seeing it in person that first time didn't even do the photos justice. We knew that day that our search was over as it was the perfect mix of modern, yet classy elegance that we were looking for. Aside from its gorgeous aesthetic across all areas - from the cocktail hour room (downstairs) to the lobby area, main ballroom and bridal suite, the food was absolutely amazing. On both quantity and quality of everything served (from passed, to food stations, plated dinners, etc.), our guests were complimenting us all night and could not stop raving about the food in the days after. Above all of these things, however, the very best part of choosing The Brookside Banquets was working with Lorraine. She is a truly amazing professional, passionate about what she does, and so pleasant to work with. From the moment we met her on our first visit, she was always available, responsive, and committed to bringing our exact vision to life. We had made some unique requests along the way (and were fully prepared to hear 'no'), but she and Arthur always found a way to make it happen the way we envisioned. On the day-of, the entire team was extremely organized, attentive and helpful. I should also mention that we had 300 guests, and they pulled every detail off without a hitch. The Brookside Banquets exceeded all our expectations and we cannot say enough how happy, and grateful, we are to have celebrated our special day with them. Thank you so, so much - we miss you guys already! -- K & A

icious. The ease of valet parking, the comfort of the bathrooms, the beautiful shiny floors, the decorations and the venue’s newly renovated design is truly a dream look. I got the pleasure of visiting The Brookside Banquet during my role as the groom’s best women and I vividly remember the feeling of happiness and ease. This was, in my opinion, due to the immaculately clean atmosphere, the professionally and meticulously put together wedding. I recommend anyone looking for any type of party or function to give The Brookside Banquet a try; they really didn’t skip a beat on their service, from their staff to their food. Excellent!

The Brookside was it. Arthur was incredible since day one. He was accommodating with all our requests. The food was DELICIOUS! People still rave about how good the food was. Arthur, Lorraine, and the team gave their all to make sure we had the best day of our lives. Highly recommend.

oden dance floor. We were absolutely 'wowed' when we arrived at the Brookside! Aside from the beautiful, modern, classy atmosphere and decor, the staff was absolutely amazing!! Lorraine, my event manager, was meticulous with every detail, from the day we booked to keeping up with me at the wedding. My maître d', Sylvette, was an absolute doll, from keeping our drinks flowing, to helping me in and out of my dress all night, to packing up our dinners to go, she had every need met! Now, the most important part, the food. Everything was DELICIOUS. Cocktail hour was a dream, the food didn't stop !! Dinner was outstanding. And please promise me you will add on the Viennese hour. As guests wandered around the desserts, I quote "Oh my goodness is this real life???!!!". People could not believe the QUALITY and QUANTITY. Weeks later guests are still calling to rave about how delicious everything was. I wish I could get married here every year!!!

t absolutely perfect, our ceremony, the reception, cocktail hour and then the fabulous desert spread was incredible. My guests can not stop raving about every last detail, especially how amazing the food was. We can not speak more highly about our wedding night, and we truly owe it to the team at the Brookside.

rous. We had the fortune of having our wedding reception in their amazing ballroom and could not have been more excited and thankful to be able to celebrate with our family and friends in that phenomenal space! Paying attention to detail was their priority. The food was delectable and the service was professionally executed. My husband and I are very grateful to Christina, her husband, Loraine, and The Brookside Banquets staff for helping us have an amazing wedding day that we will never forget!

everything it was a pleasure planning our magical night with you! It was perfect!

h the space that I did not need to pay another company for lighting. Gary and his wife were very kind and made sure to follow through with all that we discussed. On the night of our event Christine and her team worked to ensure that we stayed on time with everything. Everything that I needed was taken care of. I am so glad that I chose to have Brookside host my reception. Everyone also raved about the food afterwards. Everything was succulent!

ner to show-off their decorative skills. The staff at Brookside made our day a reality, their attention to detail was superb and their guidance throughout the night out was astounding. Our guest and family are still raving over the quality of food and service. We would highly recommend Brookside to anyone looking for a modern venue at a affordable price. Thank you for everything you guys did for us. We hope to continue to celebrate with you. Regards, The Montans

mooth as possible. We had such a great time and the food was to DIE for. Every one is STILL talking about how amazing every single thing was. We would recommend this place a million times over. Thank you Brookside for making our special day one to truly remember!

with them. Let me tell you we were NOT disappointed. This venue is absolutely beautiful !!!! From the flooring to the beautiful balcony to the spotless lobby and bathrooms, it’s a bride’s dream. I was able to make my ideas come alive with just a few outside details. The food was out of this world !!!!! My guests are still raving about how flavorful the many different dishes were. Lorraine was a Saint ! Any questions or concerns were answered right away. The day of my wedding was very stressful to me (as for most brides) but with the help of Lorraine and my bridal attendant I was able to relax. I could not have picked a better venue with a better team. My wedding day was a night to remember. Thank you Brookside ! See you in 10 years for our anniversary lol ♥️

was the one! I only hoped it looked as beautiful in person as it did in the pictures. Let me tell you, it does! Was the first venue I looked at 2 weeks after getting engaged and I knew as soon as the ballroom doors opened, that it would be where I said "I do". Lorraine helped us all the way through the process from start to finish and she was a gem. Helped answer any and all questions I had. Gave input on things we were indecisive about. She really made the experience so easy for us. Day of the wedding ran smoothly. Food was DELICIOUS! Drink were great (Lorraine also served as bartender the night of our wedding and the guests loved her). Atmosphere and ambiance with the lighting are top notch. And Silvette, our bridal attendant, was the MOST AMAZING woman. Everything from making sure my champagne was always full, to getting milk for my baby's bottle, making sure we were on time for cake cutting/garter toss, etc....I truly could not have had such a stress free day without her. If I could give her 100 stars I would. Be sure to request her for your attendant. You will be sorry you didn't. All in all, if I had to do it all over again, I'd choose The Brookside and their amazing staff every time. Thank you for the most magical night of my life. LOVE YOU GUYS!

nted salmon and when they went to take our order they said red snapper I thought it was an error but nope the option was red snapper not salmon like I had requested and was never notified of the change, worse part I didn’t like the red snapper at all. The table for my favors the night before of my wedding I had requested for it to be in the main room by the cake. At the end of the night on my wedding day I noticed they had it in the lobby area in a corner no one noticed and because of that I have almost all of them left over smh. I had requested a special table cloth for my sweetheart table and they put a completely different one. Final disappointment was we were told we would have 2 bars one on each side of the main floor. They only open the one bar and therefore my guest were making lines to get a drink, I asked for them to open the second bar like promised and they never did. That was probably the biggest disappointment , my guest shouldn’t be on a long line like that. These are things as a bride I shouldn’t have to worry about during my night. They made all these decisions and changes and I was never told. Least to say I wasn’t too happy with that.

ed with, starting from Lorraine to Arthur to Christina, was so awesome! They listened to what we wanted and gave us great suggestions that we didn't even think of -- not to mention the beautiful cake stand they let us borrow. To this day, we still get compliments that our wedding reception was one of the best they've ever been to. The Brookside Banquets will definitely be the first place we think of when booking future events!

l and we had our main reception upstairs in the ballroom. The cocktail hour was INCREDIBLE. People still talk about it to this day and we had multiple guests think that the cocktail hour was dinner because there was so much food. We got married on St. Patrick's Day and Arthur & the team did so much to add little touches throughout the night for us (ex. green flowers in the welcome champagne, a shamrock ice sculpture, jameson shots as the toast etc) The dinner was amazing and we had multiple tastings leading up to our wedding to make sure everyone was comfortable with the menu. I really can't say enough good things - they made a (very) stressful process very easy and totally made our dreams come true.

g to choose this venue, however my son was born and wanted to wait so he could be the ring bearer. In the beginning of this year and I visited the venue to see the completed renovation and decided again to choose The Brookside. Artur made us feel comfortable and made it seem very easy on making our day magical. His wife Christine was great throughout, on ensuring we felt stress free on the agenda of the wedding day. She gave us tips and even helped decorate our couples table with some of her own ideas and items to help us save money. On the wedding date Artur and his team did a fantastic job on the set up of the venue and making us feel special and taken care of. Our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was, I mean it really doesn't take a lot to decorate, the place is beautiful just as is. The food, WOW! My guests still continue to rave about it! Our cocktail hour was so plentyful and delicious our guest thought they weren't getting any more food for the night. They were surprised to know that there was more delicious food to be served and couldn't wait to continue enjoying the dinner. Baislise, Maitre D', did a phenomenal job as well, having everything ready and organized. She was a big help to my wife, helping her with ideas on all the extras she had to decorate the venue, helping her feel stress free and very comfortable to talk to her about ideas. Our Bridal Attendant also did a great job taking care of us and even checked on my son a few times throughout the night. Overall, Artur and his team are experienced on hosting weddings or other events, customer service, professional and well versed on making their clients happy !

s the place we were looking for. So modern and grand! And the food...amazing! From the crispy fried calamari, to the delicious seafood paella (it came with whole lobsters!), juicy whole roasted pig to the fried zeppoles and ice cream sundae bar...everything was delish! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting us! We are so happy with the Brookside Banquets hall. Will definitely book again!

ist and checking them out personally. As soon as we walked into this venue we already had a feeling this would be the winner. This was then confirmed when we started talking with Arthur and his team. It easily shows when a person loves what they do. We started working with Arthur a few days later once we confirmed we wanted to get married at his venue. From the food selection to every last detail we could think of Arthur was awesome to work with and suggested better ideas. The whole experience felt really intimate and actually felt as if we were working with our friend Arthur instead of just somebody we were hiring for a service! All of our guests raved about how delicious all the food tasted and how amazing the venue was. We lost count of how many people stated this was the best wedding they had been to :) We really appreciate all the passion and efforts that went into turning our wedding into our dream wedding! P.S They also just renovated the place and looks really nice. Check it out! - Victor and Bianca Acevedo

g process easy and enjoyable. The actual event was an unforgettable evening, and The Brookside Banquets was a huge part of that. Lorraine, Lisa and the staff were all extremely professional and accommodating. Guests loved the food and the bar experience. The venue is BEAUTIFUL - the decor and lighting added to the overall experience. In addition, it is convenient to get to and has plenty of parking. They are now our go-to venue for future events.

e to be is always going to request a lot of updates. Through out the two years, we'd check back in on the renovation progression. Wow, were we shocked when it was complete. We loved the idea of not having a traditional looking banquet so we were very pleased with the outcome of a sleek, modern yet classy ballroom. All of our guests loved the look as well. Our wedding started with 200 guests watching us get married in the main ballroom. The room was large enough for our 5 bagpipers and 1 drummer to lead us out for the recessional and play a few songs to follow while everyone gathered for cocktail hour. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour food. The Brookside provides a very large and delicious variety of food. The crowd favorite was the Mash Potato Bar! As the bagpipers lead everyone back upstairs to the reception, we had a moment to catch our breath in the beautiful bridal suite. Our bridal party was 22 people plus parents and there was more than enough room for everyone. The room looked stunning with all of our decorations and center pieces. The party went on all night. The great surprise was at Midnight we had confetti cannons go off from the second floor balcony. The room looked so beautiful and magical as the confetti slowly fell onto 200 guests. Anyone who wasn't dancing the night away headed down to our dessert hour. None of my guests have ever seen so many desserts at a Wedding. Arthur had everything from cotton candy, chocolate fountains, rows of cakes, cookies and so much more. We hope someone else we know gets married at The Brookside Banquet so we can enjoy a wonderful evening as guests! If you are thinking of booking this venue know that Arthur and Lorraine will be there for you every step of the way.

s smoothly on your big day, and whatever requests you have, they make sure to accommodate you as much as they can. We were very pleased with everyone at the venue, and we were extra pleased with the food. Most of our guests were raving about the food. My husband and I truly thank The Brookside for making our big day so perfect with no stress and problems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

ood was! The venue is beautiful and the staff is friendly!! We had an amazing time and even our DJ said this was one of the best venues he’s been to and he’s going to start telling people about it! Thank you!!!!
