One of the best days of my life!

I had my wedding here 7.10.22 and It was amazing! The venue is beautiful and spacious, the food was delicious and the service was great! People are still talking about the food and how nice the venue is. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I had no worries that day because everything was handle so well! Pam (coordinator) was so amazing! She made sure me and my bridesmaids were taking care of and always was available for all my questions. I am so happy I choose this venue for my special day!

A hidden gem - exceeded expectations

We heard of and toured the banquet hall after a recommendation from my husbands co-worker. Surprisingly, it ended up being a great fit. The team did an exceptional job that exceeded all our expectations. This is a hidden GEM - a great value provided by amazing staff. At a point, I was concerned about it being in a industrial center. But, the day of and looking back at photos, you wouldnt have noticed and it was beautiful! Picking a venue was our biggest decision - you put your wedding in the hands of the venue more than any other vendor, and I would pick this venue/team again in a heartbeat. We keep getting comments from family and friends that they were so impressed by all their efforts - their flexibility with COVID and the rain we experienced, custom work on the menu and set up, all of their spot-on vendor recommendations, and they did it with a smile. They cared about our day and I felt we really could rely on them. I cannot be happier with the Executive and am so grateful with how helpful they were during challenging moments!

The Best Wedding Ever

I don't even know where to begin with Executive Banquet Center! My husband and I originally booked a different venue. After having issues with the previous venue due to the pandemic, we withdrew from the contract. We came across the Executive, and fell in love with it. Not only is the ballroom and grounds beautiful, but the staff goes above and beyond expectations. The staff made sure the entire day went smoothly. They also made sure I did not have to lift a finger! They set up all the decorations, and broke down/packed up our decor and gifts. My husband and I didn't really have a chance to eat, so the staff packed up a little "to-go" box to make sure we ate later, in addition, they packed up our cake as well. Anything my husband, I, or my guests needed they took care of. Almost every guest we had complimented the food, drinks and service! I could keep going on about this venue, but that would end up being a novel! If you're looking for a place with great food, and great service you've found it!

Wonderful people and venue

I highly recommend Executive Banquet and Conference center. It is beautiful venue with a lovely outdoor patio area but the people are what truly make the place top notch. Planning a wedding is stressful in the best of times. During a pandemic, with everything constantly changing, the stress is multiplied, however Ronnie and Pam worked closely with my daughter and her husband every step of the way. They were understanding, kind and flexible helping to make the wedding day unforgettable. In addition, the flowers and wedding cake from Bing's Bakery were wonderful making the whole day complete success.

Brad and his team are true professionals. They go above and beyond to acommodate you in every way possible.
Due to inclement weather we had to move our ceremony inside the hall instead of on their beautiful patio, and the entire team worked with us to redo the entire hall under 25 minutes to get it opened back up for the reception.
Ronnie was our banquet captain sincd Brad had to be out of country, she made our wedding an absolute hit. Cannot thank these people enough for making our special day so much more special and hassle free.
Not even a single complaint. Highly recommended!!!

I could not recommend the Executive Banquet Hall enough for your wedding or event. We had our wedding on here on November 11, 2017 and it was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for a place that will reduce your stress while being personal and reasonably priced- this is it. They were able to accommodate personalized (and non-traditional) requests, but also made suggestions and had ideas for what has worked best from their experience. Brad was very attentive throughout our planning process and even though he was on a trip the week before our wedding, things went so smoothly that I never would have known! Everything was set up perfectly the day of the wedding and I literally did not have to worry about a thing. Don't let the fact that they are in a corporate park discourage you, once there you would never know-even when you are outside. Their facility is beautiful, outdoor patio fantastic, quality of the food and bar amazing, and service on point. They really were more than just a venue- they were did it all!

I couldn't have ask for better place for my daughter's wedding or better service than what Brad and his staff provided. The entire wedding process was amazing and Brad was always available whenever we called or emailed and if he was not he contacted up back within hours. The Executive overall is a beautiful place and when the doors opened into the ballroom it took your breath away, every little detail was thought out. We had a candy bar and had provided Brad and staff some details as to how we wanted it set up but left it up to them as they have much more experience in setting it up. The candy bar was beautiful and was a big hit, all of the adults were like kids in a candy store!!! The food was delicious and I did not have one complaint from any of our guests. We received nothing but positive feedback from everyone about how beautiful the place was to how delicious everything was!!!

Not only was Brad himself awesome, the same goes for his staff. They were around all night long and they even knew what we needed before we even asked for it. They treated the Bride and Groom with the utmost respect as well as all of the other guest. I would highly recommend the Executive to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue or even to have meetings there, you certainly can't go wrong.

Thank you Brad and Staff for the most amazing day, it was my daughter's dream come true and we can't thank you enough!!!

My daughter's wedding was at the center on 5/21/16. Service from Brad and his staff was excellent. There was nothing they wouldn't do for us. Had to make a change due to the weather (raining) couldn't use the outside patio. But other than that, weather did not effect this celebration. We had the ceremony and reception there. Beautifully set up, food was excellent, fun night for all. I would recommend this venue and Brad and his staff for weddings or any other function you may need.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
