10/10 Recommend!!

Avante was outstanding. They were so easy to work with, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to meet our every single need/request. Their team really aims to please, and they far surpassed expectations. I can’t tell you the number of people who came up and said ours was the best wedding they’d been to. The food was amazing. One of the biggest deciding factors for me on wedding venues was the food. Avante has the best food of any venue we have ever been to. Guests loved it. The Avante team even spent time helping us set up a Pittsburgh cookie table (which is a tradition for my in-laws). All of the staff was just so great. Our coordinator Tracy was fantastic. The servers and bartenders were awesome. Their interactions with all of our guests was warm, friendly, and personal. Thank you Avante for making our wedding so spectacular. I can’t recommend them enough!

AMAZING!!! Highly recommend

My husband and I had our wedding reception here this past October and couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out! Avante Banquets staff were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure our special day went smoothly! Monica was our main contact/event planner through Avante. She was so great and really on top of everything! She had great suggestions and made the process of planning our reception a breeze! We couldn’t have done it without all her help! As for the venue it’s it is absolutely beautiful! From the chandeliers to the decor it feels so elegant. I loved the bridal sweat and the fact that everything is so clean and updated throughout the entire veneer! The food is to die for! We received so many compliments from our guests with how wonderful everything was. You will not be disappointed!

Magnificent venue, Food and Service

Magnificent! From get information, seeing the venue and booking our wedding. It all went so smooth.
George the owner took time to meet with us, he is so charming.
Working with Tracie was great, she was very friendly, professional and met all the needs of our day.
Our wedding day turned out to really be the day of our dreams. I couldn't image our wedding any place else.
Our 300 guests were in complete awe of the venue and the amazing food. Our wedding cake was spectacular as was the Sweet Table.
We look forward to celebrating more with the Chicago Prime Steakhouse family.
I would defiantly recommend Avante to our friends and family
Thank you Avante Banquets for going above and beyond to truly make everything magnificent!

Amazing - I recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area.

I'm a bit overdue on this review - by about a year - but it doesn't change how incredible our experience at Avante was. My husband and I had our wedding reception at Avante last year, and it was everything we dreamed of. Every bit of our day at Avante was perfectly taken care of by Missy and her team. Missy was extremely responsive to our questions, accommodating of our different needs, and so helpful during the planning process. The venue is a newer space with a wonderful suite, an incredible ballroom, and outdoor space for guests and photos. The food was also incredible - the guests were raving about both the chicken and the steak. I even remember our tasting experience at Chicago Prime Italian in Schaumburg being such a wonderful time with our family; the Avante team really took good care of us. Usually venues will dime and nickel you for every request when it comes to weddings, but we were so pleasantly surprised at how the Avante team cared for us like we were family! I recommend Avante to anyone in the Chicagoland area looking for a beautiful, yet affordable venue for their wedding.

Excellent Reception Venue!

We recently (6/8/19) had our wedding reception at Avante and it was beyond wonderful! The banquet hall was beautiful and they took care of decorating it beforehand for us. Missy and Tommy were always easy to reach and were incredibly helpful. My sister's Polaroid camera ran out of batteries part way through the reception and Tommy found her new ones so she could continue to take pictures throughout the night. Each table had their own server during the dinner hour and they were all very attentive. The food was incredible! We continue to get compliments on how impressed our guests were with the quality of the food. We chose this venue because they made us feel like family and were as excited as we were about our wedding. I highly recommend Avante to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Beautiful venue and tasty food!

We were worried things would go wrong since the previous venue coordinator Missy left. Thankfully Tracie handled everything perfectly for us. Even though we knew the cost would be expensive, it was worth it since the venue had everything we wanted. My husband and I had a lovely experience. Everything went perfectly, and our families loved the food and decor. We keep everything simple since the venue was already beautifully decorated. And it was helpful when Avante provided a list of recommended vendors already knowing the venue. If you're looking for a venue that is elegant and chic, this will be the place for you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
