A full-service banquet hall 10 minutes from Palatine. Weddings, corporate events, birthdays, showers, First Communions, and graduations — 30 to 150 guests, in-house Italian kitchen, free parking 30 feet from the door. International Banquet, family-owned and operated since 2008.
A reception hall close to Palatine that takes every event seriously — not just the big weddings. Our team has run thousands of celebrations across the northwest suburbs, from intimate First Communion luncheons to 150-guest weddings to corporate end-of-year parties. The room is flexible. The kitchen is consistent. The parking is free and easy. And the price you're quoted on Tuesday is the price you pay on the event date.
We don't specialize in just one occasion. Families near Palatine often come back across years and life stages — a wedding becomes a baby shower becomes a First Communion becomes a milestone birthday. The continuity matters. Here's a snapshot of what we host most.
From elopement-sized ceremonies of 30 guests to full 150-guest receptions. Ceremony and reception in the same room, in-house Italian kitchen, bridal suite for getting ready.
Daytime brunches and luncheons with custom décor setup included. Themed showers, gender reveals, co-ed couple's showers, and traditional Sunday afternoon formats.
Sunday luncheons coordinated around the parish Mass schedule. Italian family-style service, religious décor welcome, multi-family bookings for cousin Communions.
Company end-of-year gatherings, off-sites, quarterly all-hands, and client appreciation dinners. AV setup included, transparent pricing, recurring corporate rates.
Milestone celebrations from sweet sixteens to 80th birthdays. Photo walls, slideshow setup, joint sibling parties, dance floors for evening formats.
Italian-Polish, Albanian-American, Indian-American, and other dual-cuisine bookings — custom menus and traditional elements integrated into the timeline.
The hall accommodates 30 to 150 guests depending on layout. Round tables of 8 for traditional receptions, long banquet tables for family-style dinners, and a dance floor that opens up for evening receptions. Décor setup is included — bring centerpieces, signage, dessert tables, or backdrops, and our team places everything before guests arrive. Free parking 30 feet from the entrance, with overflow if needed. The room reconfigures across event types — see the format-specific pages below for layout details.
Three steps. Most families lock the date in one conversation.
Event type, expected guest count, target date, and any dietary or cultural requirements. We'll confirm availability and walk through the menu, room layouts, and pricing on the same call.
Your dedicated event manager confirms menu choices, room layout, timing, custom décor coordination, and bar package if applicable. We work from your Pinterest boards or printed inspiration.
Walk into a fully set room — décor placed per plan, food on the timeline, service paced for your program. The host gets to actually attend the event instead of running it.
Per-person pricing, no separate room fee, in-house catering, décor setup included. Final quote depends on event type and guest count.
Showers, First Communions, graduation luncheons, smaller daytime gatherings. Plated or family-style.
The most-booked option for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, and themed showers. Multi-station buffet keeps the energy mobile.
Full-service weddings, executive corporate dinners, milestone anniversaries. White-glove plated service with open bar.
Custom multi-cultural menus are quoted per event — Italian-Polish, Albanian-American, Indian-American, and other dual-cuisine bookings. Traditional elements (blessings, cultural games, religious moments) coordinate into the timeline without extra logistical complication.
View Full MenuMy daughter's wedding was here in 2021. Three years later we did her bridal shower for her younger sister, then a 50th anniversary for my parents. Same team, same kitchen, same easy parking. That's why we keep coming back — you stop having to re-explain the family.
Our company has done four holiday parties here. The kitchen handles 140 people without the food sitting under heat lamps for an hour. Last year we added a quarterly off-site too — same room, different feel.
My son's First Communion luncheon, then his confirmation three years later, then his cousin's baby shower. The team remembers the family details, which matters in our culture. Worth driving in from Wheeling for.
