A corporate event space 10 minutes from Palatine for client dinners, quarterly off-sites, holiday parties, and product launches. Up to 150 guests, in-house Italian kitchen, WiFi, free parking. International Banquet, family-owned since 2008.
Most corporate event venues near Palatine are hotel ballrooms — generic, overpriced, and tied to a parking deck. We're the alternative. Real in-house Italian kitchen instead of contracted catering, free parking, transparent pricing. Companies across the northwest suburbs book us for holiday parties, client dinners, quarterly all-hands, and milestone celebrations. For event-specific options, see our banquet hall overview.
Companies book us for predictable reasons. Here's what each format actually looks like.
By far the biggest corporate season. End-of-year parties, plated dinner or buffet, gift exchanges, awards. Books early.
Half-day or full-day events. Continental breakfast, working lunch. Common for tech, sales, and consulting firms.
Plated dinner, brief remarks from leadership. Quieter and more conversational than typical corporate events.
Higher energy. Lunch or dinner format, often with extended cocktail hour.
Round tables for plated dinners, or buffet layouts for all-hands events. Free parking matters because corporate guests aren't expensing valet fees. WiFi available. Companies often also book company holiday parties in November and December.
Three steps. Most events lock in within one conversation.
Event date, guest count, format (lunch/dinner/all-hands), dietary count. We send pricing and contract quickly — corporate organizers don't have time for slow turnarounds.
Menu confirmation, dietary restrictions, presentation timing, vendor coordination. Single point of contact through your event manager.
Walk into a set room. WiFi tested before guests arrive. Service paced around your agenda. Your team focuses on the meeting, not the logistics.
Working lunches and quarterly all-hands events use Individual Luncheon ($25/person) or Buffet Style ($34/person, includes coffee and soft drinks). Client appreciation dinners and product launches typically book Plated Dinner ($65/person with 3-hour open bar; $40/person without bar). Multi-day or recurring corporate bookings can be quoted with a custom rate.

View Full MenuQuote turnaround speed matters. Corporate organizers usually have 24–48 hours to confirm a venue before their CFO or office manager moves on. We send pricing and a contract within 24 hours of inquiry — hotels often take 3–5 days. If a hotel is your competing option, ask them directly when they can send pricing; the answer tells you whether they want your business.
Dietary restrictions break corporate events if collected late. We need a dietary count 7 days before the event — vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, kosher. After that we can still adjust, but the kitchen has to scramble. Build the dietary question into your RSVP form, not as a follow-up email.
Recurring quarterly bookings are easier to plan than single events. Companies that lock in all four quarterly off-sites at the start of the fiscal year get better date availability, simpler invoicing, and the same event manager across all four. If your team meets four times a year, this is the easier path.
Multiple years of holiday parties. The kitchen handles the volume without the food going cold. The price they quote in the summer is the price we pay in December.
Quarterly off-site for our sales team — working lunch, breakout space in the afternoon. Hotels were quoting twice the price for half the food quality.
Client appreciation dinner for our top accounts. Plated, brief remarks. The team paced everything around our speech moment. Several clients asked who the venue was.
What corporate organizers ask before booking.
We send pricing and a contract within 24 hours of inquiry — usually same-day. Corporate organizers don't have time for three-day quote turnarounds, and we know it.
Yes — WiFi is available throughout the event.
Yes. Continental breakfast in the morning, working lunch at midday, breakout time in the afternoon. The room reconfigures during lunch — round tables become breakout pods.
Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher handled within standard packages. Collect dietary requests in your RSVP form and send us a count 7 days before the event.
Individual Luncheon ($25/person) or Buffet Style ($34/person) for working lunches and quarterly all-hands. Plated Dinner ($65/person with bar; $40 without) for client dinners, holiday parties, and product launches.
Yes — companies booking multiple events per year benefit from streamlined planning with the same event manager across all four quarters. Easier date availability, simpler invoicing, consistent execution.
August or earlier for November–December dates. The Friday and Saturday nights of the first three weeks of December fill first.
