Concorde Banquets

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

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

reception went very well and Concorde were great hosts.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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.

John at the Concorde was a pleasure to work with. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the room decorated better than I imagined. We would like to thank John and the staff at the Concorde for making our Wedding day very memorable and enjoyable!

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.

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 ...!

Excellent food, service, and staff! We are so grateful to have had our wedding at Concorde.

The Concorde has a beautiful venue and grounds. The food and service is fantastic. I had my shower and wedding reception there and I couldnt have been more pleasead with how everything turned out!!

John and his staff provided a beautiful reception. They were professional, courteous, and flexible. The facility and grounds were breaktaking. The food was better than many restaurants. Our guests were truly impressed.

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 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.

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!

Beautiful grounds for great pictures. Great price for everything I got.

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.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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!!!!

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!
