Gala Banquets Reviews

We had our Baby Shower at Gala. Great place, great food, elegant. the owner Konrad very accommodating. Great times!!!!!

We have done two christening parties in the past two years at Gala, with the last one being this past weekend. Everything was beyond amazing. From the exceptional service to the delicious food that was served - our guests had a phenomenal time! All of them raved about how everything was put together so beautifully. Konrad, the owner, is great to work with, very accommodating and organized. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and will be sure to use this venue again for my next event.

High recommend this banquet hall! The food was incredible and delicious. The atmosphere and service was excellent.

This is the greatest place in the Chicagoland area to get married. We had the best wedding every, and we owe it all to the great staff at Gala Banquets.
The food-everyone said it was the best wedding food they ever had.
I must say this is a wonderful place for any event the food was so delicious and the service was on point a very friendly atmosphere and spacious my guests were extremely happy and satisfied and I will be back for more future events I'm one happy and satisfied customer.

After our experience on 29 Nov 2015 at Gala Banquets for a baby shower we returned for our daughter Olivia's Christening Party. It was an amazing night thanks to the great food and entertainment provided by Konrad and the rest of the staff of Gala Banquets. The area is spacious and elegant. We had approximately 90 people both Polish and American attend with children and there was still plenty of space to eat and dance the night away. This is an excellent place for all events. My wife greatly appreciated the changing table in the bathrooms. Finding parking in the city can be rough. However, Gala Banquets offers free valet parking and has arranged overflow parking across the street.
The food was amazing! We got the Platinum Package and the food never stopped coming. My personal favorite was the mushroom soup, but we also had a full dinner complete with Pierogis, Salads, Meats, and Ice cream. Additional appetizers of Salmon, Tatar, various meats, deserts and others were severed after the meal. The staff was very friendly and courteous ensuring all our guests were happy and well taken care of throughout the night. Our friends and family were talking about the style and class of the banquet hall for days after; stating that it was more like a wedding than a Christening Party.
An open bar is a must at most parties and Gala Banquets will not let you down. It is a full bar including top shelf liquors, wines and beer. DJ Leon, recommended by Gala Banquets was amazing. During the meal he entertained the kids with music, games, and gifts. He played a variety of music that kept everyone on the dance floor.
I cannot say enough about Gala Banquets and DJ Leon. Thanks so much for a wonderful night filled with food, dancing, and celebration. We will definitely come back for future parties.

We loved working with Konrad, the room turned out stunning, He was very accommodating and helped us every step of the way, our guests were impressed with the food. I have nothing bad to say! Loved it all!

Gala Banquets helped make our wedding day perfect. We had our wedding reception here on September 29th and are very happy with all aspects of our special event, from the venue, to the food, to the service. During the planning process the owner worked closely with us to ensure we chose options we were happy with, he was attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable, making this process much easier. He made great suggestions including some interesting choices for our menu which were truly unique and a big hit with our guests. On the day of the event the hall looked stunning. We are still hearing compliments about the decor and their attention to detail. The food was delicious and well presented. The service staff was excellent and attentive to our guests, always asking if there was anything else they needed. The hall is located in a convenient location and they offer free valet parking. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an elegant banquet hall for their special day, we sure are happy we chose this place for ours.

This past weekend my husband celebrated his 50th birthday at Gala Banquets hall. From the very beginning Konrad was extremely professional and didn't miss a detail: from the centerpieces, to the envelope box, to the seating chart, to the table arrangements, the dessert bar and the open bar; he had everything covered. Along with this the cleanliness of the banquet hall itself was immaculate. I am a person with a very keen sense for cleanliness and this most definitely exceeded my expectations. Having a daughter in the service industry for the last eight years it goes to show the type of service we received when even she was blown away with how polite, kind, and efficient the serving staff was.This leads us into the dinner part of the evening which was delicious, hot, and fresh. Being very avid in our Polish culture;this food was magnificent. Not only is it made fresh to serve we chose the family style as opposed to individual plates and there was more than enough food. Yet, as dinner unraveled they were offering to make more if we ran out of anything at all at any table. Not being a very avid drinker myself; although for the rest of my family and the guests, were very satisfied with the bartender. Drinks were poured quick, with copious amounts of liquor, and cold; not anything anyone could complain about. All of my guests were just raving about the food , service, cleanliness, and the Gala Hall itself and how pristine it looked for the evening. We were fortunate enough to have our own live band but Konrad was very quick to suggest many people as soon as that topic arose. Who can say that the owner and party planner is such a well organized person that not only helps you plan a party; but ensures the atmosphere and everything about it flows together well for you and your special event? Book your event with Konrad and at his amazing venue if you're looking to revel in some class!

Granted the hall was nice but the service was terrible. We were sat down at 7:30pm to start dinner. We got our soup and salad right awAy but when it came yo the main course we didny get that until 9:00pm and some people were done eating and some tables did not even get their food. One of my guests asked for more and was told no . nice huh and it was suppose to be family style. The bar i had open was for 5 hours but the bar was closed from 7 to 9 and they only opened it up because i complained so i only had an open bar for 4 hrs and not 5 . I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BANQUET HALL TO ANYONE I KNOW.
