One event at a time, start to finish — the whole venue is yours for the evening. Couples planning a wedding reception in the northwest suburbs come to us for a 50-to-150 guest room minutes from Schaumburg: cocktail hour, plated dinner, open bar, and a dance floor that stays yours until the night ends. International Banquet, family-owned since 2008.
Tour the convention hotels around Woodfield and you'll hear the same pitch: beautiful room, shared lobby, another wedding down the corridor, valet for your grandmother. We built the opposite — one building, one couple, one staff, free parking at the door. Couples from Town Square to the Meacham Road side book us precisely to escape the convention-district experience. The full facility is on our banquet hall near Schaumburg page.
Plated, family style, or buffet isn't a checkbox — it's the personality of the evening. Here's how Schaumburg couples shape it; for gatherings under 50, our intimate wedding format is the better-scaled room.
Cocktail hour, three courses, toasts between them, 3-hour open bar. The formal full arc — and the format visiting relatives staying at the Woodfield hotels expect.
Platters down every table, passed hand to hand. The room gets louder and warmer by the second course — the format for two families becoming one.
Variety at a friendlier number, pacing that guests control, and a dance floor that opens earlier. The pragmatic pick for wide-ranging guest lists.
Morning ceremony, lunch reception, done by four. Lower minimums, natural light for photos, and the budget saved goes to the honeymoon.
Rounds of 8–10 with a head or sweetheart table, or long family-style tables — the floor reshapes so 70 feels full and 150 still dances. Bar, dinner, and dance floor share one room, keeping every generation inside the celebration. International Banquet has run receptions since 2008, and the free lot outside spares your guest list the parking-garage march they know from Woodfield-area events.
Three conversations, not three months of meetings.
See the floor plan at your guest count and hold the date. We're 12–18 minutes from Schaumburg — bring both families to the tour.
Tasting, catering style, bar package, timeline, vendor coordination. Your event manager runs point with DJ, photographer, and florist.
Fully set room, briefed staff, cued kitchen. You dance; the machinery stays invisible.
Per-person catering, no room fee — a different arithmetic than hotel quotes. Minimums: $1,500 lunch (until 4 PM), $2,000 Sunday–Thursday evenings, $3,000 Friday & Saturday evenings, before tax and gratuity.
Passed platters, loud tables, the Italian-wedding warmth — ideal when the two families are meeting properly for the first time.
The classic reception: cocktail hour, plated service, toasts between courses, 3-hour open bar. $40 per person without bar service.
The widest spread at the friendliest number — guests pace themselves, dinner compresses, dancing starts sooner.
Multi-cultural receptions quoted as custom — dual-cuisine menus and traditional elements fold into the evening without logistics surcharges. Individual luncheon service ($25/person) covers daytime receptions.
View Full MenuWe toured three hotels by Woodfield before finding this. Every one had another wedding the same night. Here, 125 guests and the whole building was ours — our music, our timeline, our night. Nothing competed with us.
Family style for 95 and it made the reception — his side and mine passing platters like we'd done holidays together for years. The kitchen kept it coming and the coordinator kept it moving.
Sunday reception, lower minimum, plated dinner with the open bar — the math worked where the convention hotels never did. Guests parked free at the door and half of them beat us there from the ceremony.
What Schaumburg couples ask before locking the date.
50 to 150 guests. The floor plan scales so 70 feels full and 150 still has a real dance floor. Under 50, our small wedding format fits better.
Yes — one reception at a time, the whole building. No shared lobby, no sound bleed, no split staff. That's the core difference from the hotel ballrooms.
Family style $29, buffet $34, plated dinner $65 with 3-hour open bar ($40 without), per person. Minimums: $1,500 lunch, $2,000 Sun–Thu evenings, $3,000 Fri–Sat evenings, before tax and gratuity.
The hotel cluster around Woodfield and the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center sits a short drive away — guests get the hotel convenience without your reception living inside one.
Yes — any vendors you want. We coordinate load-in, setup, and timeline; catering and bar stay in-house.
We're at 1863 W Central Rd in Arlington Heights, typically a 12–18 minute drive depending on where in Schaumburg you start — quickest from the northeast side near Golf Road and Route 53, a bit longer from Town Square or the far west side. Free parking waits at the door.
Saturday peak-season (May–October) books 6–10 months out. Sundays and weekdays often work with 8–12 weeks notice; holiday-season dates start going in August.
