Best experience!

Where to begin. Ever come across a group of individuals who go from complete strangers to instant friends who feel like family? That’s exactly how the team at Chez Hotel made me feel. If they ever needed me, I’d be there in an instant.

Planning a wedding is insanity to say the least. But what makes it easier is having someone who will listen and understand what you’re asking for. Everyone there has a “yes we can make that happen” attitude. They’re genuinely kind people working in a not so kind field because wedding planning is HARD.

Without them honestly I don’t think our wedding would’ve been the way it was. Just a truly remarkable experience working with the team here and I HIGHLY recommend everyone to go check them out and you’ll see for yourself why we chose them and why I’m writing this review.

For the team:

Michelle - She’s the best wedding planner/coordinator we could’ve ever asked for. I’m not just saying this. I mean this from the bottom of my heart! The way Michelle handled us with all of our requests is truly remarkable because we were a pain, frankly. She’s incredible at what she does and I hope others get to have someone like her on their side during such a hectic phase! Please go see her and you will not be disappointed!

Payton - while not our main coordinator, a truly incredible human being who helped if Michelle wasn’t around! Very helpful and caring. Can’t thank you enough for all your help!

Christina - a very genuine person and honest. This helps a lot when working with a team for so many months planning! We are truly grateful to you and your beautiful venue!

I would host every event there - the pictures are incredible but go see this place in person, truly magnificent!

With love,

Harsh

Excellent!

The Chez helped us make our dream wedding come to life! The Chez staff went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. Special thank you to Krystyna, Payton, and Michelle for all your hard work to have our vision become a reality. Everything was phenomenal! The food was suburb - dinner, sweet table, late night tacos and the beautiful cake! We definitely recommend the Chez to anyone looking for a special event venue! We will definitely be booking the Chez again for future events!

Beautiful venue with outstanding staff!

My husband and I got married on October 1st, 2022, at The Chez Hotel. Our experience with The Chez was wonderful!
We worked with Michelle for the event coordination, and she was amazing! Michelle is professional, kind and patient. Whenever we had a question, she was quick to respond. During contract negotiations, Michelle was fair with the terms of the agreement, and we never felt bullied during our conversations with her. She calmed our nerves leading up to the big day, and made sure that all the events ran smoothly the day of. She is one of a kind, and we cannot say enough good things about her!
The Chez Hotel itself is also a beautiful venue to host an event. Our guests were impressed with the unique design of the space. In addition, The Chez offers all-in-one packages that include food/drink/décor/etc. By using The Chez for multiple services, we were able to reduce the number of vendors we needed to search for/engage with; which ultimately reduced stress and work for us.
We would absolutely recommend The Chez Hotel to anybody looking for a great venue to host an event!

Amazing and Outstanding!!

My husband James and I had our wedding reception at European Crystal and it was phenomenal!! Absolutely fantastic, amazing, over-the- top, and beautiful service and management! The owner Krystyna went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect for us and our guests! The food was delicious, high quality, and fresh. The room was beautifully decorated, and the entrance/lobby was just so beautiful with the white and black marble flooring and gorgeous grand staircase and gold accents! The whole banquet hall was very clean and had very modern, warm, and elegant setting and architecture! It was picture perfect! Thank you Krystyna, Anna, and Tiffany for making our day perfect! Very highly recommended for any events!!

The event was magical

I had my wedding reception at European Crystal Banquets in August 2020. Everything went well given the COVID environment. All the quests were very complimentary of the beautiful space and the delicious food. Everyone had an amazing time. My husband and I are so happy for choosing this venue and highly recommend it.

I had my wedding reception at European Crystal Banquets on September 1st 2018. Me and my husband met with Anna about a year before and we booked this banquet hall for many reasons - Space - we had around 350 guests which fit comfortably in their Grand Ballroom; I fell in love with the space because of how classy and elegant it looks with the high ceilings and grand chandeliers - Location - we had a lot of out-of-town guests which make this very convenient for our guests with tons of hotels surrounding it - Food and alcohol - we went with the Duet of Filet Mignon and Chicken Christipher; after our wedding, we have received countless compliments from the guests on how good the food was and how we were able to find this venue.
Thank you Anna, Karen, and the staff at European Crystal for making our special day so memorable!

I got married July 1, 2017 and I am so happy I chose ECB. Krystyna is such a warm, kind and attentive person. From the first time I met her, I knew I was able to trust her with my wedding venue. Our wedding was 215 people, and we chose the south ballroom. I was nervous about it being too tight, but it was perfect and intimate. Krystyna and Karen made sure everything ran smoothly.

Food was great, customer service was great, and the best thing I loved is that it's very CLEAN. From the moment you walk in this place stands out. After researching about 5-7 other venues, this place was the best deal over all.

BEST PART: I was able to set up Thursday morning for m y SATURDAY wedding! This helped a TON that way I freed up my Friday to get other last minute errands done. OVERALL, my husband and I were extremely happy with our decision! You must check it out. The place is so beautiful you don't need much decoration. GREAT VALUE, ELEGANT, CLEAN and SUPERB SERVICE!

I had my wedding reception on July 29th in the Grand Ballroom with 300 people. We worked directly with Karen and she was nothing short of amazing! The whole night was perfect and Karen made sure everything went smoothly. She was the absolute best when it came to details, planning, and checking in with us throughout the night to update us and make sure everything was going as planned. We had Chicken Christopher with the Filet and everyone couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. The entire place is elegant, updated and the grand ballroom is beautiful. I couldn't be happier!

We had our daughter 18th birthday and graduation party last July 8, 2017. The service and the food was good. Karen was very helpful and flexible to work with. We and our guest had a good time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
