One reception at a time, and it's yours. An exclusive-use wedding reception hall 8–10 minutes from Rolling Meadows for 50 to 150 guests — cocktail hour, plated dinner, open bar, and a dance floor that stays loud. International Banquet, family-owned since 2008.
A reception has a rhythm — cocktails, entrance, dinner, toasts, cake, dancing — and it falls apart when the venue is juggling three events at once. We host one. Your coordinator cues the kitchen, the bar, and your DJ so the night moves without you managing it. Couples come to us from Rolling Meadows, Palatine, Arlington Heights, and across the northwest suburbs. For the full Rolling Meadows venue overview, see our banquet hall near Rolling Meadows page.
The catering style sets the tone of the entire evening. Here's how Rolling Meadows couples actually book the room and what each format changes about the night. Planning something under 50 guests? Our intimate wedding format is built for exactly that.
Cocktail hour, three-course plated dinner, 3-hour open bar. The traditional full evening — white-glove service, toasts between courses, dance floor opens after cake. The most-booked format for 80+ guests.
Platters down the center of every table, passed and shared. Louder, warmer, more conversation between the two families. Works beautifully for 60–100 guests who'd rather pass the pasta than wait for a plate.
Wider menu variety at a friendlier per-person price. Guests eat on their own rhythm, which shortens the formal dinner block and gets the dancing started earlier. Popular with mixed-age guest lists.
Ceremony in the morning, reception until 4 PM. Lower minimums, natural light for photos, and older relatives get home before dark. An honest way to have the full celebration on a tighter budget.
Round tables of 8–10 with a head table, sweetheart table, or family-style long tables — the floor plan reshapes to your guest count so 70 feels full and 150 still dances. The bar, the dance floor, and the dinner tables share one room, which keeps grandparents in the celebration instead of exiled to a quiet annex. International Banquet has been family-owned since 2008, and free parking sits directly outside — a real consideration when half of Rolling Meadows is arriving in heels.
Most couples plan the reception in three conversations, not three months of meetings.
Visit the space, see the floor plan at your guest count, confirm the date. Ten minutes from Rolling Meadows, so bring both families if you want.
Menu tasting, catering style, bar package, timeline, vendor coordination. Your event manager runs point with your DJ, photographer, and florist.
Walk into a fully set room. Eat, toast, cut the cake, dance. The staff handles everything else — you never see the machinery.
Per-person catering, no separate room fee. Event minimums: $1,500 lunch (until 4 PM), $2,000 Sunday–Thursday evenings, $3,000 Friday & Saturday evenings, before tax and gratuity.
Platters passed at every table — the Italian-wedding feel. Warm, loud, and generous. Ideal for receptions where the two families are meeting for the first time.
The classic reception: cocktail hour, plated dinner service, toasts between courses, and a 3-hour open bar. $40 per person without bar service.
The widest menu spread at a friendlier price point. Guests serve themselves on their own rhythm, the dinner block shortens, and the dance floor opens earlier.
Multi-cultural receptions quoted as custom — dual-cuisine menus and traditional ceremony elements integrate into the evening without extra logistics charges. Individual luncheon service ($25/person) available for daytime receptions.
View Full Menu110 guests, plated dinner, open bar. Having the whole venue to ourselves changed everything — no strangers wandering through photos, no music bleeding from another hall. The night ran on time without feeling rushed.
We did family style for 85 and it set the tone for the whole reception — both families passing platters and talking by the second course. The food kept coming and nobody left hungry. Exactly the wedding we wanted.
Sunday evening reception to keep the budget sane — the lower minimum made the plated dinner with open bar possible. Guests were parked and inside in two minutes. Ten minutes from our house in Rolling Meadows and it felt like a destination.
The questions couples ask before locking the date.
Receptions run from 50 to 150 guests. The room is scaled so a 70-guest reception feels full and a 150-guest reception still has space for a real dance floor. Under 50 guests, our small wedding format is usually the better fit.
Per-person catering: family style $29, buffet $34, plated dinner $65 with a 3-hour open bar ($40 per person without bar service). Event minimums are $1,500 for lunch receptions until 4 PM, $2,000 for Sunday–Thursday evenings, and $3,000 for Friday and Saturday evenings, before tax and gratuity.
Yes. One event at a time. No second reception down the hall, no shared lobby, and the full staff is focused on your wedding.
Typical evening: cocktail hour 5–6 PM, grand entrance and dinner 6–8, toasts during dinner, cake cutting, then dancing 8–11. Your event coordinator builds the exact timeline with you and cues the DJ, kitchen, and bar so nothing stalls.
Yes — bring whoever you want. We coordinate with all outside vendors on load-in, setup, and timeline. Catering and bar are in-house.
