Reviews for Concorde Banquets
GUEST




I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Concorde on March 1st, 2013. I could not say enough good things about this place. I'm not just saying this because it was my wedding, but it was by far one of the nicest weddings I have ever been to. The service was excellent, they helped in setting everything up, they took everything down and had it boxed up and ready for us the next morning. The food was perfect and very large servings. I have many compliments about the food and the service. I worked with John during our planning process and he was alwasy so nice and helpful. He even came up to us during the event to ensure everything was going well. The reception room looked absolutley beautiful! I do not have enough good things to say about the Concorde. I have a lot of friends that are engaged or close to getting engaged and I highly recommend the Concorde to all of them! I am extremely happy!! It was also a great place for photos, we took our bridal party photos on the stair case and they turned out beautiful!!

Very professional from the first time we walked in without an appointment to the day after the wedding when we finalized the payment.
The room was beautiful and the food amazing I can not believe how many people have made an effort to contact me with kudos for the meal, cake and sweets table! They have zeroed in on all they everything you would need to make you day one to remember.
GUEST




We loved working with John and the Concorde staff. They really were great in helping our wedding go off without a hitch. The service was fantastic and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how fantastic the food was. Even the other vendors I work with were happy the event was being held there because they also enjoy working with the Concorde. I would definitely recommend them if you want a stress-free reception!

Chosing the room with all the windows and having the christmas lights outside just made the room so much more beautiful then it already is. The service was amazing!
GUEST




They were awesome!!! They did a great job...I didn't have to worry about anything that day!!
GUEST




Our wedding reception took place at the Concorde and it was BEAUTIFUL! The staff, especially John, took very good care of us and they were willing to work with my special requests. Everything turned out as I hoped it would. The food was just as great as the service! I would recommend Concorde to anyone! Thank you for making my day even more special!
GUEST




John and Peter were great to work with. Our ceremony room and reception room were both beautiful. We had a lot of comments on the food beeing the best our guests have ever had at a wedding!
GUEST




When told by friends and family, who'd been here before, that planning a wedding required more than I knew, I quickly dismissed such warnings. I thought that between my fiance and myself, it would be a breeze. I thought that wherever she might struggle, I'd find the answer, and we'd take care of it, no problem, and move on.
Then, very quickly, I realized it wasn't something we could've done without the the help of those around us. Family and friends came together (many of those friends becoming family) to make sure that our wedding was everything we dreamt of. If not for them, it simply would not have happened.
The venue we chose for our wedding (Schram Memorial Chapel) was perfect. Quaint, but charming, it felt like it was made for us. Event planner was very helpful.
The reception was held at Concorde Banquets in Kildeer, IL. As soon as we arrived, we weren't bothered with any questions, as everything we'd discussed and planned prior to the event was executed to perfection. We first took photos in an area reserved for the wedding party while our guests enjoyed passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. We too were brought food and Champaign in our own private area. Dinner was exceptional, and all of our guests loved it. Our room was beautiful and the feel of it set an ambiance that was made us feel like we were doing something truly special. I think it's exactly what we were really hoping for, and we got just that. Service was also fantastic, and I don't mean to diminish it by mentioning it last.
I'd love to do it again. It was however, such an amazing start to our lives together that I don't think I could bring myself to risk doing anything that might change what had turned out to be the best day of my life.
GUEST




My wife and i highly recommend Concorde for a wedding. All of the staff is so accommodating and professional. We must have checked out 15 venues before Concorde and it was very clear to us that they were the right fit! Beautiful grounds, wonderful decore inside, and MOST importantly... Wonderful food. Our guests keep telling us how great it was start to finish. A+++

Everyone at the Concorde was outstanding. They made our wedding so special and all our guests were impressed with everything. The Concorde is very beautiful and we were proud to have our wedding there.
GUEST




Ok, so this is actually the first time I have ever reviewed anything but I had to review my wedding venue because I had such an amazing experience! My wedding turned out amazing. When I first walked into the Concorde, I loved it but when we met with John, I knew for sure my wedding was in good hands. John answered all of my questions and emails right away, and if john was not in (which is rare because the man works like 24/7)... then peter would reply. I never felt uneasy for 1 bit. The food, OMG amazing!!!! I come from a 100% Italian family and food at a wedding is the most important thing, and let's just say it was delicious, the presentation was amazing, and it was hot, not cold 1 bit. The food was better than we were expecting. My guests are still talking about the food. The Concorde staff was so friendly and helpful too from the waiters bartenders and bus boys, we were extremely happy with all of them. As for florist, john recommended northern greenhouses, and I am so glad we went with them. John and Maria worked so great together to give me and my husband a dream wedding.
All in all we loved and are so glad that we decided to go with the Concorde. I will recommend this venue to everyone I know!! Thank you john and peter!!
GUEST




What a great experience! So kind, hard working, great price! John and Peter were amazing and helped with every detail. They were very flexible the week of with getting our room set up and throughout the year leading up to it always were there to answer any questions! We had a little issue with the bar at one point but once it was brought to their attention it was all fixed. I would highly recommend Concorde to anyone getting married or having a banquet. Food was amazing! Overall environment was amazing!
GUEST




My wife and I are very pleased with hosting our wedding ceremony at Concorde Banquets. John and Peter were professional and very well organized. I don't think that Concorde is expensive comparing to other banquet halls. It's affordable. But the quality of service and food is outstanding and exceptional. They always did their best to help us from the beginning to the end. All the guests praised the beauty of the room and the taste of the food. We went with Traditional package with three main dishes: salmon, chicken, and New York strip steak. All were very delicious as we tasted before the wedding. And some of our friends told us that they would definitely consider Concorde for their wedding.
Do not spend too much money on hotels or other banquet halls. Concorde is simply the best. Memories at Concorde will last in our life.
GUEST




Concorde Banquets was an absolute pleasure to work with. Top-notch service from start to finish, John and his team of professionals made sure my wedding reception went off PERFECTLY. From fabulous food, to being extremely accommodating, I can't say enough good things about this banquet hall. I am a vegetarian and they made sure to cater a package to my family's needs. The set up of my room, was EXQUISITE! I had a David Tutera moment when I saw the "big reveal" of my ballroom. If any bride is thinking about having their reception here, DON'T hesitate. Get your room booked because you will not regret it. My ceremony had rain, and we were able to take pictures in their halls on the grand staircase and it was spectacular. Not to mention, the prices are unbeatable in the Chicago area. Everyone raved about the tomato bisque soup! Your wedding is only one day, and it should be fabulous in all aspects, including not breaking the bank, and Concorde will make you feel like a princess. I loved Concorde and hope that many other brides make this their celebration space theirs too.
Best,
Michelle
GUEST




John and all of the employees at the Concorde were very helpful and very professional. Everything was completed in a timely manner and with utmost perfection. They paid close attention to every detail to ensure the night turned out just as I had envisioned. I would absolutely recommend this banquet hall to anyone who is having an event.
GUEST




John was really easy to work with, he would respond back to me right away with my many questions along the way. Everyone was talking about how great our food was! If I had to plan my wedding all over again, I would still use Concorde Banquets!
GUEST




Concorde was by far the best thing I did for my wedding. They were so professional and organized and the most reasonably priced in town. Their facilities are beautiful and do not give the typical banquet hall feel that I thought I would hate. On the day of the wedding, the managers are there every second checking in frequently to make sure you are delighted with every detail. Every penny was well spent here!!
GUEST




Very helpful and willingness to please. Couldn't have asked for better service! Thank you
GUEST




Concorde banquets was amazing!!! Everything looked beautiful day of and the food was excellent! Only thing that was confusing was the cutting of the cake which we were told someone would be up there to help us but there was no one. Otherwise I recommend this place to everyone!!! :) Loved the outside and inside of the place, very elegant!
GUEST




Everything was absolutely beautiful! Peter, John and Pat were sooooo helpful every step of the way, whatever we needed they were there to get it for us. The service was quick and friendly. My guests had a great time and everyone said the food was amazing. We had the time of our lives and we couldn't have picked a better place to have it at, certainly not your typical banquet hall. I recommend Concorde Banquets to anyone who wants a classy wedding or any event for that matter!!! We truly thank you again, Monika and Slawek.
GUEST




If you are looking for a place to have your event, the Concorde is the place to have it. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing and the service is exceptional. One of the many things I appreciated is how the owners worked to give us the events of our dreams but also help us stay within our budget. We had our engagement party, wedding shower and wedding here and everyone raved about how beautiful everything looked and how great the food was. I will not go anywhere else for my events!
GUEST




They did a very good job with helping us wiht our event and wedding plans.
I would recommend them to potential other clients and consider them for future events.
GUEST




Beautiful Venue~!!! There are so many places inside and outside to take pictures. They have a pond with beautiful flowers and Swans. Two Gazebos to choose from. I had my ceremony there on the second floor as well and it was beautiful. Great service and delicious food. Very professional and accommodating. Only thing was that I didn't mark which guest is getting chicken or beef prior. I wish they told me about it. It was fine though. Everyone had a great time and well fed. Overall: Highly Recommended.
GUEST




I HIGHLY Recommend Concorde Banquets! Words really can't describe how wonderful/beautiful this hall is and how helpful the owner John was as well as very accomodating to all of our needs and had great recommendations. Peter and Pat were also very friendly and helpful. We did not have to worry about a thing as far as the banquet hall went the day of our wedding, they took care of everything and went above and beyond what was expected! The hall was absolutely perfect and the food is AMAZING...everyone complimented the food throughout the night and still to this day, it was delicious and the plating of the food was very pretty! Not only is the inside beautiful, but the outdoor area with the gazeebos and pond with swans and flowers/landscaping made for beautiful pictures, it's like a private little getaway!! We met with John several times prior to our wedding and he had great ideas and walked us through a number of pre-wedding checklist items that we wouldn't have thought of if he hadn't mentioned it. You will not be disappointed if you choose Concorde Banquets for any special occasion you have. They treat you like you're the most important one there, even if there are other parties going on...they definitely take pride in their work and it shows in so many ways! I will be booking Concorde for my next big event!
GUEST




Great food, excellent service. The guests were commenting on how beautiful the room was set up. John and Peter were very helpful and our event was just wonderful.
We highly recommend the Concorde!
GUEST




John at Concorde banquets was amazing, very flexible, nice, and helpful guy. I woul def recommend everyone to go to concorde banquets.
GUEST




My husband, parents, and I can't thank John, Pat, and the Concorde team for helping us host our wedding! They were nothing short of amazing! From being attentive, thoughtful and understanding to our budget, to having an overall impeccable venue with great food, all of our guests were amazed as well! Thank you thank you thank you for making our day, and the process planning our reception, so easy!
GUEST




John was very helpful! He responded to every question that I had. The Concorde also provided so much! We were very happy with everything!!
GUEST




From the manicured grounds to the granite dance floor the evening was flawless. Started outside having pictures by the pond with swans, gazebo, and trellis. Then had my wedding upstairs in a beautiful decorated room. After the ceremony we had the reception in Room B. The appetizers were delicious and the meal everyone raved on how good it was and so much food. The cake and sweet table provided in the package were breathtaking and so delicious. The ice sculpture was large and custom made to our drawing. We were so pleased with this venue and happy that we had our wedding there. The staff knows there business very well and took care of every need.
GUEST




I am so glad we chose the Concorde Banquets in Kildeer! Everyone had a great time and they were even checking in on the reception every so often to make sure we were totally satisfied! Quite a few seasoned wedding goers told us this was their favorite venue yet! Best food, great service, and for what is included in the price your money goes a long way! Hope to be invited to a wedding here someday, can't wait to go back!
GUEST




We are very satisfied with a quality of service. The food was great and sweet table was amazing. We received many complements from our guests!
GUEST




Our wedding was amazing and couldn't have been better. Thanks Concorde!!!
GUEST




My husband and I just had our wedding reception here on 6/2- We were very pleased with our experience with Concorde.
Venue: The venue is beautiful- rooms are beautiful and so is the lobby and the outdoor area. We had a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres in the upstairs room (in which you can also have a ceremony, if you request it) and had the dinner portion of the reception in Room A. Room A has floor length windows on one side and the natural lighting was great for our room. The room itself is very clean and classy looking with multiple chandeliers- we only had simple, low centerpieces for each table and it was enough to make the room look decked out.
Food/Price: Food was outstanding. We had the prime rib and madagascar chicken- the portions are huge and everything was cooked well. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they've had. Everything including hors d'oeuvres and even the butter was great. I did my research on banquet halls in the north/northwest suburbs and although Concorde was not the cheapest, it definitely had the best value. Compared to other places, it's only a few dollars more (per head), and what they offer and the quality is so much greater.
Staff/Service: Our coordinator was John and he's gentle, attentive to detail, and considerate for all the bride's needs and wants. He was prompt in answering all of our questions and always looked for a way to work out the requests we made instead of saying no (which I experienced in other places). We made specific requests for set-ups for both the cocktail hour room and Room A and everything was done exactly as we asked. All the staff were friendly and they even had consideration for our reception program. We felt well cared for.
Overall, we would recommend Concorde to any of our friends getting married. I don't think you can get this kind of food/service for this price anywhere in this area.
GUEST




Use the DJ recommended by them. They flow nicely with the venue and we did not have to worry about a thing. They took care of everything.
Wedding turned out great and the outside ceremony was beautiful. Because of all the landscaping and the nice white chairs, we did not have to buy flowers or decorate at all. Gorgeous pictures.
GUEST




After visiting several other reception venues in the area, we chose Concorde Banquets for 3 reasons: they had the most beautiful banquet hall and grounds in the area, we had heard their food was good, and their packages were very competitively priced. They were very friendly and helpful with while planning for and setting up our reception. On our wedding day, the management and staff were very professional and were able to accommodate all our requests. Where they shine the brightest was in their dinner service, which they have down to a science. The servers brought out the champagne, wine, food, coffee and dessert at just the right times and in a very swift manner. We got many compliments on the food. The chicken was juicy and very tasty. The cherry jubilee dessert was to die for. We had a bountiful sweets table which was very popular with our guests. Although we had a lot of crazy revelers, there was rarely a line at the bar. They were thoughtful enough to provide to-go containers so the sweets would not go to waste at the end.
We were very pleased with their services and would definitely recommend Concorde to anyone getting married.
GUEST




Concorde Banquets exceeded ALL of our expectations in terms of a wedding reception venue. We looked at so many venues in the area for our reception, and none of them came even close to the quality we found at Concorde. They were even flexible enough to get us the alcohol we wanted for the bar that wasn't part of their normal process!
Our guests from the wedding still talk about how amazing the venue was, how great the food and service was, and how much fun they had.
We would recommend Concorde Banquets to anyone, and are willing to share feedback with anyone interested!
GUEST




I don't even know where to begin. John, Peter and the rest of the staff at Concorde Banquets were absolutely wonderful to work with. After checking out a few other venues, my husband and I were nearly speechless when we walked into the hall. The entire atmosphere makes you feel elegant. I was aprehensive since it sits off of Route 12 but you would never know it once you pull into the parking lot. The landscaping is beautiful and everything is kept really prestine on the grounds. The outside gazebo is amazing for having an outside wedding and for taking pictures. The reception rooms are all really beautiful and the room that we used upstairs for the ceremony was perfect! You can definitely tell that weddings and banquets are their business; unlike golf clubs and hotels, this is completely their focus.
The week before the ceremony we dropped off centerpieces and odds and ends of other things. John and Peter were there to help us unload everything and the staff took care of setting everything up on the day of the wedding. They made everything so easy and as a bit of a "control freak" I couldn't believe how comfortable I felt with leaving things in their hands.
As for the actual day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a thing...the staff was so helpful and checked in several times to see if there was anything we needed - with not only me and my husband , but also with my dad. Huge brownie points there!! The food was fantastic and everyone got their food at the same time. At most weddings I've been to there is always a lag between those finishing their meals and those just beginning. It was so nice to not see people waiting for their food. The servers and bartenders were all so attentive as well.
Everything was absolutely perfect and I can't come up with one complaint. I got so many compliments on what a beautiful and fun wedding we had. I can't thank them enough for making our special day so memorable. I would and surely WILL recommend Concorde Banquets to anyone!!
GUEST




Concorde Banquets and John Kalyviaris, along with his entire staff were absolutely wonderful and couldn't have made our day more special. The Atrium Room (would recommend over & over again) was decorated to our specifications just beautifully and John worked with us on every detail in order for everything to come off just right. What can we say about the food but "OMG and YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!", dinner was beyond our expectations. Thank you Concorde Banquets for everything.
GUEST




John and Concorde Banquets could not have been more accomodating and professional. The food was absolutely delicious and the hall was decorated just beautifully.
GUEST




I would highly recommend the Concorde Banquets. My entire experience from start to finish was just perfect! The grounds are beautiful, the interior and the bathrooms are spotless, the food is delicious, and the service is superb! What else could a bride ask for? They even get a private bathroom suite assigned to them for the affair. I had my son's Bar Mitzvah here and was absolutely thrilled with everthing!!!!
GUEST




I am the father of the bride but I was paying for the night. I would like to say that parents ,brides and or grooms would find that the Concorde Banquet is a wonderful venue for a wedding. We couldn't be happier with our experience. John was extremely helpful with assisting us with our decisions for our big night. Peter and the staff were constantly making sure that we were happy with the food and the service and we were. The food was amazing and my guests were commenting the same. Having a wedding is stressful but Concorde made it all worth while. I would strongly recommend having the Concorde and we couldn't be more pleased!!!!!!!!
GUEST




My husband and I began working with Peter at Concorde Banquets about 17 months before our wedding day. When we first saw the facility, we immediately noticed how well-kept it was, inside and out. Every room in the hall is stunningly beautiful, very classic yet modern, and we quickly fell in love with it. We quickly experienced their amazing customer service and really felt as though their main goal was to make us happy, creating a perfect wedding day for us. Peter always made time to talk with me, whether it was on the phone or in person and they really run a very well-oiled machine at Concorde Banquets. We met with Peter about 10 days before the wedding to finalize the details. At that point, Peter offered us a significant discount on Chivari Chairs for the wedding in order to accommodate our budget. Since no one else booked on the day of our wedding, Peter rearranged all of the spaces. The original plan was to have the ceremony in half of the reception room, move the guests upstairs for cocktail hour, then have them come back downstairs after the employees had opened up the reception room and transformed it. Instead, they set up 3 separate rooms all on the first floor so that the guests could simply move from one room to the next, all clearly labeled and we were not asked for another penny. While we were there, we also dropped off all of our favors, centerpiece vases, etc. On the Monday before the wedding, we returned to make our final payment and every room was set up for the wedding already! The favors were on the table, the table cards were outside the cocktail hour room, and the seats were set up for the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, we showed up and had one more surprise! Peter had upgraded the backdrop behind the head table, which looked absolutely beautiful in our pictures! On the day of the wedding, it was amazing to see the orchestrated event of dinner; all of the employees lined up around the dance floor and at the nod of the owners head, each one picked up their tray and served the course. No one was rushed, everyone's drinks were full, and they servers were all incredibly polite. In fact, one of my favorite things occurred during dinner at the Concorde. My aunt had requested that her 2 children not receive dinner because they probably would not eat it, or at least wouldn't finish it. I had explained this to the Concorde and all was set for the reception, but one of the employees went up to my aunt and asked if her kids would like chicken tenders and fries. On the spot, they made 2 kids meals and never even mentioned it to us! The food in general was OUTSTANDING. I heard from many people, young and old, that it was the best food that they've ever had at a wedding. From the start of the wedding to the very end of the night, every employee of the Concorde was polite, attentive, and centered around customer service. I could not have asked for a better experience from a banquet hall, and would gladly refer any bride to Concorde Banquets for any portion of their wedding.
GUEST




I would recommend Concorde Banquets to everyone planning their wedding or any type of celebration. The owner John is fantastic and the staff is wonderful. Our Wedding day will be cherished forever. The food and service is excellent. Everything from our ceremony to the reception was outstanding. They made our fairy tale wedding come true.... thank you so much.....

I honestly cannot find a single negative thing to say about Concorde Banquets, really. My wife and I had an AMAZING wedding reception and we loved the experience, from beginning to end! We worked primarily with John Kalyviaris and he was so extremely helpful to us. Their food was amazing, the venue was beautiful, and our guests had the best things to say about Concorde Banquets.
Highly recommended!
GUEST




This a beautiful venue!! The food is amazing, the service is outstanding!! Highly recommended!!
GUEST




When in doubt ask John. . . John is the go to guy for anything wedding related. He was so helpful during the whole process, AND patient. . . as I can't imagine that it is an easy job to deal with brides on a daily basis! ;)
The Concorde is GORGEOUS, the food is DELICIOUS and John is the most helpful person around, I am so happy that we chose the Concord for our wedding!
If you have not been there before, PLEASE go and check them out, and you will NOT be disapointed!
GUEST




Concorde was absolutely amazing!! The food was delicious! John and his team did an incredible job making our wedding unforgettable for us, as well as our guests. They all had nothing but awesome things to say about Concorde! I would recommend them to any bride and groom looking for a beautiful reception hall!

GUEST




Concorde was a huge success for my wedding. I loved the exterior and the interior. We had our wedding for 300 people there. Pat & John were very quick to respond to ALL of my questions and emails. That was very much appreciated. While we didnt get that much flexibility in some areas, it was still a great time. The food is delicious and the bakery they work with is incredible. Everyone was raving about the cake! The dance floor was the perfect size and the bar was great. The only thing I would suggest is to have more beer options, bigger glass sizes and be more flexible when you have people that are last minute no's. Otherwise....AMAZING. I cannot wait to see the pictures from there.
GUEST




The concorde was the perfect setting for the wedding I wanted to have. They were willing to work with me on every aspect and since I lived out of state I had to be in phone contact with them all the time. They let our wedding party arrive several hours early befor the event to get ready and take pictures. They were so attentive always asking if there was something we needed and to make sure everything was perfect. The only issue I had was trying to get a time for a tasting, they were booked all the time. It worked out well though because the food was amzing.
GUEST




The Concorde truly caters to all of your needs from start to finish with professionalism. The service was excellent and the presentation was outstanding. The venue exceeded our expectations and we definitely would recommend the Concorde for future brides and grooms.
GUEST




The staff at Concorde Banquets will bend over backwards to make sure you have the perfect wedding reception. Not only do they serve the best filet you will ever have at a wedding, but they help you take care of so many other details like lighting, linens, sweet tables, etc. You can ask for anything and they will provide it. I asked for a non-traditional backdrop, and John worked with me to get it and it looked beautiful!
John, Pat, and other staff members at Concorde were kind, patient, good-listeners, and cared about the end product and your happiness.
Gorgeous venue and fabulous people to work with!
GUEST




John the owner was absolutely a delight to deal with. He made the transaction as smooth as possible.We had a great time and our guest continue to complement the food and service.
GUEST




I am completely happy with our wedding reception. The Concorde really helped out with every detail that we needed. The food was fantastic and service was excellent. All of our guests commented to how great the food was. I couldn't be any happier.
GUEST




I had the wedding of my dreams, thanks to the help of The Concorde Banquets. Their staff, service, food and atmosphere were all perfect. I can't put into words how pleased my husband, family and myself were with everything from the start. Thank you Concorde!
GUEST




The Concorde is very beautiful. My wife and I were married in Banquet Room A, which we highly recommend because of the abundance of natural light. John, our liason, was excellent from start to finish. I would recommend working with him. He was very accomodating and down to earth, which was very important to me (groom). The Concorde made every effort to accomodate our different needs. The food is delicious! Appetizers, entrees and desserts were top quality. P.S., if you love steak, try the Filet Mignon!
GUEST




John is an absolute pleasure to work with from day 1. My husband and I paid for our own wedding, and he was extremely generous and accommodating to that fact. We had a GORGEOUS wedding reception and our guests were extremely pleased. I cannot say enough good things about John and the fairness of the price and accommodations. However, working with anyone else on the management staff was difficult (excluding servers who were wonderful). We (family as well) often felt degraded, pushed aside, or even bullied by some of the other managers. There was a completely different outcome between when we would speak to John and when we would speak to someone else in charge. On the wedding day, both of our mothers were stressed out and hurried along - fixing the place cards that were not alphabetized, trying to find the guest book, and running up and downstairs to the non-private changing room because the key to the private changing room was lost. Another big issue was a woman attending our wedding with severe food alergies had her specific needs voiced several times, and yet the food came out and if she had in fact eaten it, probably would have landed her in the hospital. Again, if I were rating John and the venue itself, it would be all 5's. I would highly recommend this venue - moral of the story is to make sure everything goes through John :)
GUEST




John and Peter were very accomodating to out requests and our entire wedding planning. From the extra decorations to the additional food needs, Concorde banquets did not dissapoint. Our wedding turned out beautiful and just as we had discussed. I would definitely recommend holding a function at Concorde Banquets. You will leave happy and that's an understatement.
GUEST




Our experience with the Concorde was amazing. The wonderful staff, attentiveness, beautiful venue and fabulous food was stellar. My vision for our daughter's wedding far exceeded any expectations that I had and I thank everyone at the Concorde for making that dream come true! 5 stars isn't enough! Thank you everyone at the Concorde--we are extremely grateful for a job well done!!
GUEST




John and his team at Concorde were absolutely wonderful!!!! I will admit that in the beginning they came across as a bit cold, but as the big day approached they did everything in their power to accommodate our wishes. Basically any request that my husband and I made was fulfilled, and John and Pat were patient enough to deal with the zillion phone calls I made to them before the big day. John is very flexible and a true professional. The wedding was stunning and everyone was raving about the food and decor!!!! I highly recommend this venue.
GUEST




I am really happy we had our reception at Concorde. The hall is meticulously maintained and very clean. The natural decor of the hall was fabulous, I only added chair covers and our hall looked stellar! (We also took advantage of the center pieces they include with the package --- they were very simple but very elegant.)
The only reason I didn't give quality of service a 5/5 was because some guests mentioned/complained about the length of time it took to serve dinner. And, at our tasting we had talked about having the wedding cake served as dessert with ice cream. That night they just bagged the cake rather than serve it as dessert. So nothing major, I just want to give a totally honest review.
I would still fully recommend this hall. Great food! Great decor/aura! Great value!
GUEST




We had our wedding reception at the Concorde and they were great! We worked with John and he was fabulous! He was very easy to work with and if we had any questions he always made time to answer them. All of our guests were amazed by our room setup....it was beautiful! And the food is delicious...all of my guests commented on how great the food tasted. My husband and I were very pleased with the Concorde.
GUEST




They went above and beyond to make your day everything you dreamed of. I would HIGHLY recommend The Concorde! Any room you choose is gorgeous! Their food was amazing as well!
GUEST




The Concorde was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They are extremely kind and always seemed to be available if we had a quick question over the phone or wanted to stop by, even though their rooms are regularly booked. They were a pleasure to work with because they are patient, calm, and do everything they can to make you happy. When our final count was under the minimum required for the room, they provided us with frozen meals to take home and gave us a few other upgrades to make up for it. While they knew we did not want two specific hors d'oeuvres, they did start to serve them until our wedding coordinator mentioned it, but we heard our guests compliment the food. Both my husband and I had the stuffed chicken, which was delicious. We highly recommend the Concorde!

Our wedding was in June of 2011 and it turned out perfect! John and Peter were both very helpful from the very beginning. Everyone raved about the food and the service. I have nothing bad to say about the concorde, in fact, I highly recommend it. It was a great location at a very reasonable price.

I plan on having all of my future events at the Concorde Banquets. All of my guests raved about how excellent the food was and how elegant the venue looked. My guests claimed it was "the best food they have ever had at a wedding" -Thank you

The Concorde Banquests was the first AND ONLY CHOICE I GAVE when my parents and my husband Tommy asked me where I wanted my reception. When I single before I met Tommy..I always knew I would marry at the Concorde. NO ONE COMPARES TO THEM..Their professionalism, candor, class..THEY MAKE EVERY WOMAN, WHO HAD A DREAM OF BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AS A LITTLE GIRL, COME TRUE! The crew is fabulous and their Leader, John, is magnificent. Everyone I know goes to the Concorde and I see why. Not just for weddings..but for every occasion.. They are elegant, fabulous and the rooms, the food, the music, the decor, their ambience..take your breath away. From the beautiful building to the gazebo's outside..IT IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS..Thank you John for making my wedding dreams come true. It won't be my last time holding a function at the Concorde....we plan on coming back...our next goal it to come back....FOR OUR BABY SHOWER!! :) ALL OUR LOVE..SOULA AND TOMMY KLADIS.. 05/21/11

The Concorde is an amazing banquet hall with amazing staff to match. Upon meeting Johna K. at the first visit, my husband and I knew that we were going to host our reception at the Concorde. John helped me to plan and organize the reception and was always there to answer my questions. He offered ideas and always gave an honest answer-when I was caught up in planning all the details of the menu, cake and decor. When I was unsure or could not visualize something John opened the hall to me and brought in samples and taste tests on multiple occasions. My new hubby and I strongly reccommend the Concorde if you are having your reception in the suburbs! Their hall is beautiful inside and out. I have received hundreds of compliments about the food, promptness, and organization of the hall and its staff!

John at the Concorde was a wonderful person to work with. He is very good at what he does. He went above & beyond to make sure that I was happy and satisfied with my wedding reception.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception here in May and everything turned out great. We had the ceremony outside and it was beautiful. Everyone there is still raving about the food from our wedding. The food was cooked perfectly, the chicken was ridiculously moist and the filet was a perfect medium. We worked with John the whole time and he took care of everything. There was one small hitch with my wedding cake, I forgot to bring the fresh flowers to decorate it (which actually I wished they would have called me when they saw the cake showed up bare), but one of the coordinators offered me flowers to use that they had left over from the day before. It ended up turning out fine, all in all everything was great!
GUEST




John, Peter and Patricia worked very diligently to help me, a second-time older bride, who had a smallish wedding on a wintery Sunday, achieve just the perfect ceremony and reception, very tasteful, very accommodating of all my ideas, very assistive with last-minute arrangements ...!
