The best venue ever!

I cannot recommend this venue enough! Arthur and Christina are some of the most caring and kindest people I have ever met. Both of them were beyond attentive, and reply quickly to all the questions and comments I had throughout the process. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and pristine. The cocktail hour, my guests cannot stop talking about it! The options and the presentations of the foods at cocktail hour was stunning. Dinner was just as delicious! The bridal suite is an absolute dream and makes for gorgeous photos of the bridal party and bride. Lorraine and Candance were our bridal attendants and they were so accommodating and in tune with all of our needs. We have never felt so cared for!

Venue Selection

I’m so glad I picked BROOKSIDE from the moment I saw details online to the actual in person experience. Everything was great! Staff was absolutely amazing. Arthur and his wife were awesome they were patient and had input on everything we were unsure of. Food was great even though my husband and I didn’t have a chance to eat our dinner or cake lol. But, over a week married and people cannot stop talking about our wedding. How much fun it was, how amazing the food was. Our day was perfect! As much as we wanted to get it over with I would love a repeat of our special day ♥️🎉

AMAZING Venue and Staff

There are not enough unique words in the dictionary to describe how excellent Arthur and Christina are! Their venue, staff, food, everything made our wedding go by so flawlessly and better than we could have ever imagined. All our friends and family are still raving about how good the food was and how beautiful the venue is. I can’t recommend The Brookside Banquets enough! AMAZING!!! They went above and beyond to deliver the perfect day for my husband and me and made my family, and I feel like we had nothing to worry about. They were so communicative, answered all our questions, and worked with us to do everything we wanted. Thanks to Arthur and Christina and The Brookside Banquets staff, our wedding was perfect.

Amazing experience

We have only positive comments about this venue. The space is beautiful and unique - definitely not your average banquet hall. The staff and owners are wonderful people who are extremely accommodating.

Our wedding went off without a hitch. Our guests all commented about the beauty of the space and quality and variety of food. One of my cousins recently asked (3 months later) if we can have another event there so she could have the food from the cocktail hour.

I highly recommend this venue.

Atiq & Samantha

We had our wedding reception at the Brookside Banquets on November 6th, 2021. It was truly a night to remember for us and we have the entire staff to thank for making our night one that we will never forget. Everyone was kind, helpful, and attentive. The food was amazing and the hall looked amazing. Our guests all complimented how amazing the food was from cocktail hour to dinner. There were also many compliments on the setup of the cocktail room to the banquet room. The staff was attentive and helpful to our guests and the service throughout the night was impeccable. We couldn’t have asked for anything better on our wedding day and greatly appreciate all that the staff at Brookside banquets did to make it such a special day. Should we need to have another huge event we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to The Brookside Banquets.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

My husband and I just got married at Brookside Banquets and we can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area, spacious outside ceremony area. It was my dream venue. Arthur, the owner, is amazing and was so helpful through the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone.
