Our Wedding was held on Sunday August 25th, 2024 at the Cotillion. It was the happiest and most incredible day of our lives! George and Tom executed every single thing they promised us for months. At first I was a very worried bride and in the months leading up to the wedding I didn’t know what to expect. But they were AMAZING! They set up the room in a very elegant and detail oriented manner, they also set up the cocktail hour and it looked even better than I could ever imagine. Everyone was raving about how good the food was and the service was fast and efficient. George is super detail oriented which I loved! George set up all the cocktail hour props from the audio phone book to the mirrors, 360 photobooth, seating chart and then he helped us choose the most elegant charger plates and even helped me design the menu and thank you cards! Every time I texted him to ask him a question he would call me back immediately! And Tom was kind enough to meet my Mom and give her a tour on his day off because she flew from overseas to help me plan 6 months in advance. We had an open bar wedding until 1:30am and George and Tom stayed till then making sure everything was under control. I wish I can relive this day over and over again. Thank you Cotillion, you exceeded all my expectations and made our wedding a very memorable one.

Beautiful Wedding at The Cotillion!
From our first meeting with George, he made us feel confident that he would fulfill our every wish on our wedding day, and he absolutely came through! He listened attentively to our preferences and offered valuable professional suggestions, drawing on his extensive experience in the industry.
The room décor was stunning, and the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious! George coordinated seamlessly with our Reverend to ensure a smooth ceremony transition. The flip between ceremony and reception spaces was flawless, thanks to his meticulous planning.
Throughout the night, George checked in with us to ensure everything was running smoothly. He is truly a man of his word, and our ceremony and reception were truly AWESOME!!!
Cotillion Banquets's reply:

You wont regret it!
Our wedding was held on 4-7-2024. George did exactly what he said he would do for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony and reception turned out to be absolutely beautiful. George made the process seamless. He handled all the details which made us not even need a wedding coordinator. The guests raved about how amazing the food was!!! Everything George said he would do, he did. I am so happy we went with the Cotillion Banquets. I highly recommend this venue for your CEREMONY and RECEPTION or reception only. I was very nervous about how everything would turn out but in the end it was perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful. George even let us use the bridal suite to do our hair and makeup hours before the event! What a blessing it was to have someone care as much as he does. He made our big perfect and without any issues. Thank you!

Best wedding we could ask for!
George and team were absolutely amazing with helping us plan our wedding. The venue is stunning, food is delicious, and all of the staff members are attentive and knowledgeable. George answered all of our questions whenever they came up, had the best suggestions, and made sure our room was set up to look beautiful. He also walked us through the entire process from start to finish. The staff the day of the wedding was amazing, always making sure everything was brought out on time, cleaned up quickly, and were very friendly with the guests. When cleaning up after the event, everyone helped where they could and was very helpful with making sure all belongings were returned and packed. Thank you all for an amazing evening! We are so happy we picked this venue and would absolutely go back!

Best venue by far!
I think I can speak for all wedding vendors when I say the Cotillion is unmatched with their hospitality and service. I am a wedding planner/decorator and upon first entering the venue, I was greeted with so much respect and kindness from the manager, George. I usually like to keep things short and brief with venue staff because I never want to come off as a bother, but George was simply amazing. Usually if you’re not a client / someone who is interested in holding an event, employees at venues will brush you off & treat you like a nuisance. Definitely not my experience here!
I can honestly say that the Cotillion is by far one of my favorite venues. It’s gorgeous, well kept, and boasts elegance from the moment you walk in. I can only imagine how amazing they treat their clients. I will be referring all of my Assyrian clientele to this wonderful venue. Expect a lot more middle eastern weddings coming your way! 🤍

Amazing Experience
From the very beginning, George was very clear on the process and assured us he would take care of us.
And he absolutely did!!!
George was very precise and detailed. I was having anxiety and stressing because I thought I didn’t have everything I needed yet he reassured me and went down the list of EVERYTHING that I needed.
There were a few changes the day before and day of our wedding and made all the accommodations. When it came down to the ceremony he made sure EVERYONE was on time and ready to go.
The set up was beautiful! Everything went according to plan and to schedule. Especially with the many events and surprises we had during our wedding such as surprise dances, tango performance, band set-up etc.
We received so many compliments from our guests. The color was perfect and everything that we envisioned and more!
Such a beautiful place and staff was great!
George and Tom thank you so so much!!
Will and I wish we could relive this night again!

My Dream Wedding
Where do I even begin. I had been so overwhelmed and stressed about my wedding ideas coming to life especially because I had gone through bad experiences in the past with other halls delivering what they had promised. However George at Cotillion had exceeded all of my expectations. He told me over and over again not to worry and he eased my stresses leading up to the wedding. Then when it came to showtime on July 7, 2023 I can’t even express enough in words how amazingly George had handled everything. He made sure even the most minor details were were perfected, he kept our event following the itinerary at the correct times (which can get difficult with Desi weddings), he was so present and approachable to my family and I. Honestly the list goes on, I was just beyond impressed and so grateful that we had pursued cotillion through George specifically for one of the greatest events in our lives, and I will most definitely be bringing future parties to him! We love you George!!!!

A Beautiful Experience
I had my wedding reception done here on April 30th, and I wanted to say that George and his crew were amazing and outstanding! I absolutely loved having my wedding reception here. The time and effort and dedication that George has put in and making sure all your needs are met did not disappoint. I have two other brothers whose wedding reception was also held here so I know what to expect and I was sure I had nothing to stress about because George was there to meet all my needs.
George - if you are reading this, I want to personally thank you for making everything be a dream come true! You are truly like family and want to personally thank you. If I could, I would give you more than a 5 star rating. You surely went above and beyond to make sure everything was done according to the contract and went above of what I asked. You always took care of everything I had asked and made my wedding reception really memorable.
If you are in need of having an event somewhere, please be sure to check out cotillion first before any other venue!

Easy Pick! You will not be Disappointed!
One of the easiest decisions for us to make in our wedding reception planning process. If you decide to work with Tom and George you will not be disappointed and your event will be a great success. They even gave us tips in coordinating other aspects of the reception planning (decor, DJ, wedding planner tasks etc.) to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you Tom and George for your professionalism! You were so easy to work with and we have no hesitations in recommending The Cotillion to anyone simply because of how pleased we were with your service.
Wish you all the best and Thank you!

Outstanding in every aspect
9/10/22 George and Tom helped make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. George was so helpful throughout the whole process from the day of our first showing to the days after the wedding. He always found time to answer any of our questions or concerns. They continuously demonstrated that they cared and worked with us to make sure we got the best value from what we contracted them for not to mention they were extremely generous in their offerings. The main reason why we went with the cotillion was the following: big dance floor, great food, visually elegant by itself, and the people. We booked the front two rooms with 245 guests and there was plenty of room to spare on the dance floor despite us all on it which most venues cannot keep up with. Every guest I talked to at the wedding were raving about the food. Of all the weddings 30+ I've been to over the years, I've never been to one where people went out of their way to reiterate how good the food was throughout the night and reminisce afterwards. The lemon greek soup is a must. The front room includes a sizeable bridal suite with bathroom. The suite connects to the room by a visually appealing staircase as a nice entrance option. Our reception photos were stunning thanks to the interior elegance of the cotillion. We got to enjoy every second of our reception because George and Tom managed everything flawlessly. They are great people to work with, genuine people. We were happy giving them our business and helping support them. Basically there is no competition, the cotillion has excelled in all areas when it comes to a wedding venue.

So thankful we chose Cotillion Banquets!
My wife and I are incredibly happy that we chose to have our wedding at Cotillion Banquets. From day one, George was extremely helpful and easy to work with. He was able to capture our vision perfectly. The ceremony was beautiful! The french onion soup and steak were amazing, and our guests really enjoyed their food selection. I have been to quite a few weddings and the food at Cotillion was ranked at the top. The drinks were amazing and the bartenders were well experienced in providing all drinks our guests requested. The outside appearance of the venue was a huge factor for me as it was the first impression our guests would see, and Cotillion did not disappoint. I highly recommend Cotillion Banquets to anyone planning a wedding. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing, the drinks were great, and George was fun, helpful, and great to work with, especially his attention to detail on the day of.

7/15/2022 we had our wedding at this beautiful establishment! Everything was absolutely beautiful! George and Tom were the best and very accommodating! My guests were in total awe of everything!!! We are still getting calls of how beautiful things were and how good the food was! All of our guests raved on how they have never had food taste so good at a wedding! We didn’t hire a wedding planner, yet George walked us through everything we would need from beginning to end and the day was perfect! We can’t thank George, Tom, and their staff enough for such an amazingly perfect event!

Perfect wedding experience!
I had my wedding here back in October of 2021 and it was absolutely perfect in every way. George is FANTASTIC. He doesn't treat you like a customer, he treats you like one of his own. I went through stuff in my personal life during my wedding planning process and George was a support system for me. He follows through on everything he promises and goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. This experience was better than I imagined or could have imagined. Read the rest of the reviews because it really stays it all. I would gladly and easily recommend this banquet hall to anyone who wants a good experience and a perfeedding. Thank you again to everyone at the Cotillion for everything you guys did to make our dreams come true.

Amazing venue and owners
We had our wedding at The Cotillion on October 15,2021. From the moment we walked in to view the venue for the first time in September of 2019 to the last minutes of our wedding night George made us feel like family! He listened to every detail and delivered! I was blown away when I walked into the cotillion on my wedding day. The room looked spectacular and beyond our expectations. We unfortunately had to post pone our original date due to the pandemic and there were no issues what so ever. George made sure we still had a new date in place and helped ease our anxiety along the way. Our wedding guests loved the food and overall ambiance of the venue. George’s attention to detail and quality of service makes the Cotillion unparalleled to other venues in Chicagoland. He was 100% honest and completely transparent throughout the entire process from start to finish. We look forward to hosting more events in the future at the cotillon and working with George again. If you need a venue for any type of event the Cotillion is the place to go. George and Tom run their business very professionally and answer any and all questions you may have.

Exceptional location, Exceptional service
We had our wedding reception at the Cotillion on Saturday August 14, 2021. From our first encounter with George and Tom, we felt like we were VIP's and family. We were always treated with professionalism and courtesy and they showed great concern and interest in our event. It's as if we had our own wedding coordinator/planner in George. What an asset! His many years of experience helped us decide on menu, order of events, vendors for flowers, cake and other decorations.
The communication between us and George was excellent. Whether we called or emailed we always received a response and we had no doubt as to what was discussed and agreed on. We felt more like family and not just another customer.
On the day of the event, George made sure everything was EXCEPTIONAL! The place was nicely decorated, the food was GREAT! All our guests commented on the quality they received. Cold food was cold and hot food was hot! Taste was great and everything was well done.
Thanks, George, Tom and bartender Mike for making our event such a success. If anyone is thinking of using this venue, you can have no doubt that you are in the right place and you will be WELL taken care of.
Signed: Nave and Marie Wilson

We would highly recommend the Cotillion Banquets!
My husband and I would highly recommend the Cotillion Banquets! We had our wedding reception there and it was the most perfect day. We looked at many reception halls, but the moment we walked into the Cotillion and met with George we knew this was the place we wanted to book. We booked our reception for June 2020 prior to the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We then had to reschedule for June 2021 and George was so accommodating throughout the entire process! Through lots of ups and downs due to the Pandemic and having to postpone, George and the Cotillion remained constant and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we still got everything we asked for and more. I was blown away by the way they took care of us, and worked with us. Throughout my wedding planning process, George was ALWAYS quick to reply to any question or concern I had. I NEVER had to wait long to get a reply from him whether through text or phone call. He was always very on top of everything and helped me right away whenever I asked for it. He was also very detail oriented and wrote down everything I asked for or we talked about to ensure I received the very best service and exactly what I wanted. George also made sure we got everything we asked for. Whatever we wanted or needed, we got! He was ALWAYS willing to work with us. Every time we visited the Cotillion (and of course on the day of our reception) everything was always very clean, put together and everyone we interacted with was very professional, friendly and helpful. The venue is beautiful - inside and out! Very classic and clean from the bathrooms all the way to the event rooms. The food was delicious! In my experience going to other wedding receptions and talking with friends, often times the food isn't as good as the tasting, but I thought the food at the Cotillion was delicious (both at the tasting and the actual event). And we received SEVERAL compliments from our guests saying the food was delicious! All of the waitstaff at our event were very professional, friendly and helpful. Not only was George helpful throughout the entire planning process of our event, but he himself was present at our event making sure everything was running smoothly and just the way we wanted it. We were so very grateful to him for that. I cannot recommend The Cotillion Banquets highly enough! You should definitely book your event with them whether it's for a wedding or another special occasion. You will not regret it!!! Thank you so much George, Tom and the Cotillion Banquets for everything! You gave us the perfect wedding reception celebration day that we will remember forever! Thank you!

The best experience ever!
We booked the Cotillion prior to the pandemic. We looked at many different halls in different suburban areas before booking at the Cotillion. We felt so comfortable the moment we walked in and we were sold on the very first visit with George. We knew right away that this was the place over all the other halls we visited. They offer so much at an extremely competitive price. I didn't know exactly what to expect but we did have high expectations since it was our only daughter. Our expectations were met beyond our desires. Everything was perfect when we were finally able to have our reception. When the pandemic hit we didn't know what would happen or what to do. My daughter's wedding day was right in the early stages so we could not have the wedding/reception. Our dreams seemed shattered. But George and the owners were so helpful and accommodating. They helped us through the dilemma of what to do and moved our reception to the following year on almost the exact same date. My daughter wanted to get married anyway so we had a very small ceremony during the pandemic and waited to have the reception on our date at the Cotillion. Because of how much the Cotillion did for us, you could not tell that the wedding and reception were in two different years and separated. We had such a great celebration. They did so much for us and made the evening a grand success. The food was amazing! We had so many compliments on how good everything was. People couldn't believe it. We felt so honored and taken care of. I attended chef school as a trade and am very fussy about food. I can't say I expected great food since it is a banquet facility but it was probably the best food I have had at a wedding. We worked mostly with George who is at every party no matter what. He made sure every little detail was taken care of and did it with ease and expertise. I had the pleasure of also meeting one of the owners who was also there the night of our reception. They both kept checking in with us and making sure everything was okay, but they were not intrusive at all. We had a fabulous evening, they took care of every little detail. They made sure the temperature of the room was perfect for us, the food was hot and tasty, the cake was beautiful and good too, the room was perfectly lit and clean! Who has a good wedding cake? We did! They have many great referrals for vendors and hotel accommodations. We highly recommend this place! This is the first time I have written a review but felt very strongly about this. Thank you Cotillion, George and Tom!

Truly a Reception to Remember...
My family, including extended family, have been customers of the Cotillion Banquets for over two decades. So when it was time for my brother to book his wedding reception, there was no question where it would take place. Both George and Tom have treated us like family for years. We are so eternally grateful for everything they did to make my brother and SIL’s reception feel like a dream-come-true. When I say that George took care of everything, I MEAN he took care of EVERYTHING. George had assured us that everything would go smoothly. He covered every little detail in our meetings leaving me to realize we’re in great hands. George covered details that I didn’t even realize needed to be covered! I was so impressed by his knowledge of South Asian culture and knew we made the best decision booking with the Cotillion. Fast forward to the day of the event, any worries we had while planning, instantly disappeared as both George and Tom were on top of everything. They both went above and beyond to ensure that our event went perfectly. George & Tom were truly our fairy Godfathers and provided everything that they had promised. My brother and SIL’s wedding reception was a true fairytale and the credit goes to Cotillion for making it happen! We will be customers for life.

Best Venue ever!!! And special thanks to George!!
MAN OH MAN. Me and my now Wife Shenika could not wait to post this review of the Cottilion Banquets and our Friend George!!
We HIGHLY WITHOUT ANY DOUBT recommend this venue to everyone! It was one thing to be able to find the perfect venue for our wedding. A venue so clean, vibrant, up to date, great location, and very accommodating. What we did not expect is to find a venue with people that cared as much as we did about our day!!!!!
When Shenika and I met George, we immediately knew that The Cotillion Banquets was our home for our wedding. He was so genuine and friendly. He listened to all of our needs and made EVERYTHING HAPPEN. It was the wedding of my wife’s dreams and George did everything to make sure of that!
We originally had a date set for March 13th, however, due to Covid restrictions, we had to change the date. We weren’t sure how that would work out but George made it happen without ANY concerns.
George, Tom and the staff are WONDERFUL and we will be going back to the Cotillion for all of our major events!!! Even the staff at the bar was having a great time with us. That was amazing!
We sincerely thank you for taking care of us and for caring!!!!!
Because of George and the Cotillion Banquets team, our day was PERFECT!!!!!!!!!

Cotillion Wedding + Reception
My husband and I looked at 3 locations, the Cotillion was the last and we booked it for our ceremony and our reception. Best decision! Why? Well, the warm inviting welcome we received as soon as we walked in. The price, the location, and the venue blew our mind. It superseded our expectations. George is an amazing man and he is the reason why our wedding day went PERFECTLY. He's so organized, detailed oriented, loving.. and will always put YOU the couple first.. Remember this.... he listens to you. The Cotillion is not out to get your money...they're in the business to create fairly tale memories and George did that for US, you become family. He made every dream come true for us. He will literally provide you with whatever you need for your wedding day, no questions asked, he's got the answer! Our wedding day will forever be a moment we shall never forget. From start to finish, it was perfect. My guest are still talking about it and expressing that my wedding was the best wedding they've ever witness. Thank you George and The Cotillion for making all of our dreams come true. You are our family now. With love always xoxo B+M

Nice, Professional, Amazing, BESTEVER.
The moment we walked in, we knew this was where we were going to have our wedding. Any little doubts we had about the venue were washed away by the warm welcomes and the unbelievable nice treatment we got for Tom and George. Leading up to the wedding date, everything was so smooth. These guys are very nice and genuine and they know how to do business. We still cant decide what our favorite part of the wedding was. The place looked amazing (George IS AMAZING. Made the place look breathtaking. BEST GUY EVER) The food was delicious and the service was very good. Honestly, we cannot think of a single thing that was not perfect EVERYTHING was perfect. If we could go back in time, we would still choose this place to host our wedding a million times over.

Memorable Experience
I’m truly amazed at all of the compliments we received and continue to receive from our wedding guests about the beautiful venue, tasty food and service from the staff. Let’s not forget the liquor from the open bar was of high quality! Tom the owner and George the event manager were so hospitable from the first time we sat down with them to discuss our wedding details. George made sure everything we wanted was taken care of and came in to check on us to make sure everything was to our liking. So many of our guests loved the banquet so much that they potentially will be inquiring for future events. Cotillion Banquets held our wedding at their venue and made sure we didn’t even think about our original postponed wedding date due to Covid. George and Tom were so personable and made us feel like we were part of the family. Romeo and I thank you so much for the wonderful experience you provided us and the memories we have made not only at your venue but with the friendly connection with you personally.

Beautiful wedding thanks to George and the whole Cotillion team!!
Our initial wedding date was August 22nd, 2020 before Covid-19 caused us to delay it to October 24th, 2020. If it weren’t for George and the team at the Cotillion being so flexible, I don’t know that our wedding would have happened this year and I know it wouldn’t have been as amazing of an event. We probably changed our wedding date 3-4 times between August and September trying to get all of our vendors on board, and the Cotillion always made it work for us to have a beautiful event.
We were expecting to have roughly 225 people in a room for our wedding, but it had to be reduced to 50 in a room because of Covid. It was very important to us to keep our guests safe, and the Cotillion followed the state guidelines, but still allowed us to have 150 guests by utilizing all three rooms (at no additional charge to us!). It was a worry of mine that each room would look empty with only 50 guests, but George and the staff really delivered. The space was used excellently and the venue looked magical when the night came. If you meet with George you’ll instantly see that he is extremely nice, but also very confident in his work to make your wedding dreams come true. I’ve now learned this confidence comes from his 20+ years of experience and that he will actually work so hard to make it happen, and he did for our wedding.
We received so many compliments throughout the night and over the next few weeks after our wedding.
Some compliments we received that I would like George, Tom, Gus, and the whole team for:
“Best food I’ve eaten at a wedding”
“Dessert table looked and tasted amazing”
“The staff were so kind and cheerful”
“The room looked beautiful with the lights and the color scheme”
I can’t thank the Cotillion enough for how great of a job they did on our wedding. I didn’t imagine it could have been that magical even if Covid wasn’t a factor, and they really made the best possible day for my wife and I!

A dream come true.
n 9/30/2020 by Jessie P
George and Tom made everything wonderful. We met George Jan of 2019. I told him what my vision was and what I wanted. He asked if we went any where else and we didn’t. The cotillion was the first place we looked at and fell in love with it. We booked and planned for our wedding to be June 19,20. As we got closer to our date we had to reschedule our wedding. George was on top of it and got us in another date this year. When sept came around I talked to George several time and everything was set. George saw my vision and helped me make it come true. On sept 25,20 we had our wedding. And it was everything I could imagine. It was my vision and an amazing night. All our guests said how delicious the food was, how gorgeous the cotillion was and how it truly was my vision. Eveything went just right. And if we had to do it again we would definitely pick the cotillion. For having a wedding during COVID I was worried about it but it truly was amazing. George and Tom had everything all brainstormed for COVID and had everything all set for us to have 2 rooms and needed for the wedding. George’s hospitality and being so involved helped make wedding planning a lot less stressful. George and Tom listened to us and made everything we wanted come true. We cannot recommend the cotillion enough.

A great venue, and even more amazing team at the Cotillion
Words cannot express how hard George and Tom worked to help make our wedding happen. We first met George about a year ago (Pre-covid-19) to start our wedding planning. From the start, George’s personality and hospitality amazed us. He made wedding planning such a breeze. Once the shelter at home order began in March, our wedding planning came to a complete stop. Around end of June, we met with George and Tom to brainstorm ideas on how we could safely have our wedding with a small number of guests. We had to completely change up plans from what we had initially planned for but George and Tom helped us accomplish something we never thought could happen. They listened to us and made sure our voices were heard. They made it their priority to make sure that we got to celebrate our special day. Our wedding day was definitely an unforgettable one. With George and Tom by our side, everything went so wonderfully. The food was AMAZING!! When George tells you about the great food Cotillion offers, he is not kidding! We are so grateful that we chose such an wonderful venue and an even better team that’s a part of Cotillion banquets. Cotillion is the best example of a family owned business. You feel the love of family just from walking in through the door. George, thank you for all your support and positive energy during this entire process. Tom, without your key attention to detail, our wedding would not have happened so smoothly. We cannot recommend Cotillion enough! This is the place to be for your events!!

Best Day Ever
There’s a lot of stress planning a wedding but the team at the Cotillion, especially working with George, made the day effortless on mine behalf and I didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to the reception. He made sure that we had a timeline for the night and advise us when we should cut the cake to our first dance and all the important details so our photographer can get those important pictures without the servers in our pictures. The venue was absolutely beautiful from all of the decors to every details on the each tables. The team at the Cotillion was very accommodating and worked with our budget and even went out of their way to help our vendors set up and letting my husband and I practice our first dance in another room while they set up. The servers and bartenders gave one of the best services to all of our guests which is amazing and very important to us. Our guests rave about the amazing food and the venue. George and his team are the of the best in the wedding business!!

Excellent Reception Hall
George and the entire Cotillion crew really knocked it out of the park for our wedding. My wife and I were so happy with our experience at this venue. We had toured around twelve different venues and the Cotillion was the clear winner. Of all the venues we looked at, this one offered the best quality at the best price. We had multiple meetings with George in the year leading up to the wedding. The planning process was very thorough and there was never any doubt about how the day would run. George worked closely with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, including some upgrades to our package which were most appreciated.
As for the day of, we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. When we arrived for our reception, we were absolutely blown away by how incredible the room looked. George and his crew made it look just like the fairy tale style my wife had in mind. The food was excellent (we offered beef, chicken, salmon, and a vegan option) and we received numerous compliments about its quality and taste. The night stayed mostly on schedule, although with the length of our toasts and there being two other events that night, some delays were understandable. As to there being other parties that night, you would have never guessed it from inside our ballroom. So, to anyone worried about competing noise volumes, you can rest easy. At the end of the night, clean-up was quick and we were able to stow some of our things at the venue overnight.
Now, onto the most important part of this operation – George. This guy is incredible at his job. He is thorough, organized, and absolutely professional. He will have you read his reviews, which he should because, like this one, they are very positive. George isn’t trying to oversell you on how good he is. He really is as good as he says. We felt so welcome at the Cotillion where George, Tom, Gus, and the entire staff truly treat you like family. They have a strong sense of hospitality and friendliness here that made for a very enjoyable experience. My wife and I hope to host more events here in the future and I can’t recommend this venue highly enough.

Great for a Wedding Venue
If you're looking for a Banquet Hall that will support you, listen to you and make your event planning easier then Cotillion should be your choice! We had our wedding reception on August 10, 2019 and we couldn't be happier that we chose Cotillion. We worked with George and he is great! He is on top of things, will explain everything for you to make this planning experience less stressful. He was there with us on the wedding day along with Tom, the owner, making sure everything was going smoothly. They are a great team and they make you feel like you're a part of Cotillion family. We will be hosting our future events with George! Thank you for everything Cotillion!!

Beautiful Venue and Beautiful People
My husband and I went to a few places before we decided on the Cotillion Banquets. What made us decide on them was simple.. beautiful venue and GEORGE! George was our venue coordinator, he KNOWS his stuff. In the beginning, he may seem like he’s promising you everything and it may be unlikely to happen. Well, guess what? EVERYTHING DID HAPPEN! HE MADE EVERYTHING HE PROMISED HAPPEN! My husband and I was soooo happpy! George also is very honest, he is not here to make you spend a fortune and persuade you to pay more than you need AND THAT is how you keep customers. Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL and all our guests were wowed by the decorations and the food was delicious!! My husband and I are so happy that we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the Cotillion Banquets for all your events!! You will NOT regret it!

Excellent experience!!! Highly Recommend!!
The Cotillion was one of the last venues we looked at, but from the moment we walked in we were sold. The ballroom and even entry way is absolutely gorgeous! From there we met George who is outstanding! He provided us with all the information we could possibly need. George worked with our budget, timeline, and any idea we came up with he took it and made it a reality. The week of we had several last minute changes that George, Tom, and Barbara were able to work with. The day of, the room looked beautiful and the tables were set up perfectly! The food and atmosphere was outstanding. Our guests have not stopped talking about it! I cannot thank George or the entire staff enough for making our special day beautiful and perfect.

Breathtaking Banquet Hall and Staff
If we could rate this more than 5 stars, we would!! Cotillion Banquets is absolutely beautiful. My now husband and I got married there August 18th, 2019 and had such an incredible time. George, our wedding planner was the best!!! He is very genuine, hardworking, the best wedding planner out there. He was always willing to pick up the phone and call us when we had questions no matter what time it was. He made our wedding one to always remember. We look back and say to ourselves was this even real!! The beauty of this banquet hall, the staff, the food, EVERYTHING was perfect. Anyone that is looking for a place to celebrate any occasion, this is the place you want to be at. George, Tom and staff, thank you for making our wedding such a memorable time in our lives. You guys have such a beautiful banquet hall and such incredible hearts. We can’t say thank you enough. We left there wanting to do it all over again and left there with new friends. You guys are wonderful people. George and Tom thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for Jeremy and I and our families. Absolutely breathtaking the whole experience from the beginning to the end.

Wedding Reception
Where do we even begin?..from the moment we stepped into Cotillion while venue shopping we knew it was something special. My parents first found this venue through a friend and after going to multiple places there was nothing that compared! Tom & George are the absolute best!!! We had the first two rooms of the banquet named Crown and Tiara we agreed on 400 people when we booked and long story short ended up with way over. George & Tom we’re both SO accommodating and when I say accommodating we mean it to the max. We ended up with 498 people and were so nervous every time we would add a couple people but they were so calm and made everyone fit with enough space to comfortably move around. Our florist was able to easily work with Cotillion Banquets’s as well to make the wedding of our dreams really come true! The night of our wedding there was also another wedding in the back room and we received sooo many compliments on our room from their guests. We had a Romanian wedding, and Romanians are very picky when it comes to food but not one guest complained about the food and everyone was amazed and told us how amazing it all was. From the appetizers to the main course everyone ate and was filled. Our bridal party couldn’t wait for the next platter to come out with our appetizers that’s how amazing they were. We had only good reviews about the food, room, and service from every guest. Our servers were so respectful and did their job diligently. What can we say, everything we wanted for our reception, we received AND MORE. George and Tom made it happen. They are truly wonderful people that we can say we grew a friendship with and it was not only business. We urge all who are looking for venues to stop looking anywhere else and make an appointment at the cotillion. We promise you will not regret your decision!!!!
We are so so thankful for having the Cotillion be able to host our reception we can’t say enough how happy we were and are for our beautiful wedding! We still can’t believe that our dream wedding was a reality and we keep talking about how amazing it all was!
THANK YOU SO MUCH COTILLION GEORGE & TOM!!!!!!

Family feel
WOW such an incredible experience working with the Cotillion since the day I called and spoke with George to inquire information to find a new reception venue quickly as our original one fell through. My husband and I are so happy the original venue fell through because working with the Cotillion was the best experience we had with any of our vendors! George is a great guy. He is very personable, detail oriented, efficient, passionate, professional, responsive, and genuinely cares to help make the wedding of your dreams come true! And it came true!! The food and service was spectacular and the ballroom look to the venue with beautiful chandeliers was stunning! George and Tom treated us with respect and just like their family! I would highly recommend working with the Cotillion as they really gained our trust and we had no doubts our wedding would go without a hitch! 7.27.19

George made all of our dreams come true!
I've dreamed about my wedding day ever since I was a little girl. George and the Cotillion took those dreams and made them even better in reality. Wedding planning was very overwhelming to me expect for when I was working with George. He made everything so easy and I always trusted him and his judgment. He treated my fiance and I like family from the minute we walked through the doors. George always kept in contact with us, answered all of our questions throughly, and helped us through tough decisions. I felt like Cinderella on my wedding day and George was my fairy godfather! Everything we had planned was perfect. No detail was forgotten. I was blown away! I immediately bursted into tears when I first saw our ballroom completed. George made it better than my dreams! We can never thank him enough for all of his hard work and dedication to making our wedding absolutely perfect. We love the Cotillion and consider them apart of our family!

Simply the Best!
From the beginning of the wedding planning through our wedding day we were incredibly impressed with the Cotillion. Starting from our first visit meeting with George we could tell the Cotillion was a family atmosphere. When we toured the facility, we saw everyone from the owner to the staff working together to prepare for an event that evening.
During the wedding planning, George was enjoyable to work with. His servant heart showed through when with each request his reply was always“no problem.” At the same time using his many years of expertise, George kindly guided us to wise decisions that we would not have thought of otherwise.
The day of the wedding was stress-free for us because of all the work George and his staff put into the setup and logistics. During our reception, the staff was incredibly attentive and Tom the owner checked in with us several times throughout the night to make certain everything was going well. We had several people tell us the evening was one of the best receptions they had attended. In particular, people express that the food was delicious. We had several guests with special dietary needs and the Cotillion accommodated all of their needs with ease. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience throughout the entire wedding process thanks to Tom, George, and staff!

Fantastic!
We had our wedding last month and it was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! We have George to thank for all of it! He is extremely detailed and dedicated to the couple that is he working with. We were most pleasantly surprised by the fact that he treated us like family and not just another customer. The Cotillion handled everything in a timely manner and we did not have to worry about a SINGLE thing throughout the whole process, which allowed us to fully enjoy the entire experience as well as our wedding day. Special thanks to Tom and Gus for exceeding our expectations! To sum up, we would 100% recommend hosting your event at the Cotillion.

Excellent!
My daughter, her fiancé, and I, went to three other venues before we chose the Cotillion Banquets. When we met George, we knew this was the place. After meeting with him on multiple occasions, and going through details, I can attest, that he is one of the most hardworking, detail orientated, and passionate people I have ever met. He truly loves his job and wants to make sure your wedding day is exactly what you want it to be. He worked within our budget and we were able to get what we asked for. George answered all calls and emails very quickly and also sent me pictures of decor options too. On the day of the wedding, my daughter cried tears of happiness when she walked into the ballroom. The room was absolutely stunning! We received so many compliments on the dinner entrees.The wait staff and bartenders were very attentive and friendly. George, thanks to you, and your staff, for making my daughter 's wedding day all she dreamed of and more. You were a joy to work with. I can't say enough good things about the Cotillion and will recommend to my family and friends!

Dream Wedding
It took me a couple days to write this review because I am still at a loss for words. My wedding day was everything I had ever dreamed of.. and more. Cotillion Banquets was the best decision I made during wedding planning. We had visited about 8 venues before choosing Cotillion Banquets. The second we met George, we knew this was the place. He is one of the most hardworking, caring, and passionate people I have ever met. When you work with George, you can tell he isn't doing this for the money. He truly loves what he does and wants to make sure your wedding day is perfect. And that is exactly what he did for us. He exceeded all my expectations. He answered all calls and emails very quickly and with every request I had, his response was always "no problem." I cried when I walked into the reception because I couldn't believe how beautiful our room looked. George stayed there late and kept checking in during the night to make sure everything was going well. The food is amazing. I received so many compliments and was told it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The servers and bartenders were super attentive and friendly. I can't say enough good things about the Cotillion. I HIGHLY recommend them for any occasion, especially your wedding!

Wonderful Wedding Venue!
One of the biggest decisions we had was choosing a hall to hold our wedding reception. When we first walked into The Cotillion we were met by Tom. He made us feel like we were family. The more we talked the more comfortable we felt. He walked us through the building and he was knowledgeable and so cordial. By the end of our first meeting, we knew this is where we needed to have our reception. When we met for the tasting he explained to us his process of how the food is made and nothing was precooked or staged. That made a world of difference to us. We knew our guests were going to be getting a hot fresh meal. Tom left no stone unturned, he walked us through everything. From the time we arrived at the Cotillion to the time we walked out the door at the end of our party. We knew everything that was going to happen, when it was going to happen, and how it was going to happen. He went out of his way to meet with our entertainment to make sure that they had everything they needed as well. He made us feel so at ease and comfortable. There is no place I would trust more to handle such a precious event.

Beautiful Reception
What an amazing event I had at the Cotillion. Working with George everything was seamless for my reception. I had zero stress because it was all taken care of timely and efficiently. They are very on top of every event they organize. The food was amazing. I had several guest compliment us on that and the service level. George pays great attention to detail to ensure everything is perfect on that day. A perfect venue for the intimate reception that we had. Thank you.

After searching and looking around after about 3 different venues... let me tell you I was exhausted. So to be greated by George and asked if we had already checked other venues was a breathe of fresh air. He gives you that family feeling and honesty! George takes care of everything and I don’t know how he does it! There are so many different things you have to plan. So I was relevead. Thanks to The Cotillion Banquets and staff I got my perfect wedding with my wife. (As long as she is happy right?) Tom is one of the 2 owners and he always double checks to make sure everything is smooth. The venue is jaw droppingly gorgeous, with white granite dance floors, UNBELIEVABLE crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, a beautiful staircase to enter in. THE food was top notch. No lie I am a picky Italian. My whole family just loved it. The staff that served us were also wonderful and the bartenders ARE so cool!

Absolutely amazing!
Let me just start off by saying that you WILL NOT regret your decision with The Cotillion. From the décor to the services, everything was absolutely wonderful. George was so attentive to everything we asked for. He doesn't pressure you to do anything you don't want to do and he doesn't care about budgets. He made sure we showed up happy and left even happier. I would recommend Cotillion Banquets to any and every one. Thank you George and Cotillion Banquets for making our dream wedding a reality! XOXO - Josh and Alex Reyes!

Perfect and personal
We really can’t recommend the Cotillion strongly enough. It’s a beautiful venue with great food and excellent, personal service. We had our wedding here just over a week ago and everything was all that we could hope for.
We wanted to plan and have our wedding quickly and the Cotillion and George were the first place we went to. We checked out other venues, but we knew when we left our meeting with George that the Cotillion was where we wanted our wedding. George makes you feel like a friend or family member from day one and he truly cares about helping you plan and deliver the wedding you want. His enthusiasm is infectious and he takes a lot of the stress of planning away. You’ll wish he didn’t work so hard the day of your wedding so he could just attend as a guest.
George promised us a number of things when we first met him: the best value for your money, the best food you’ll have at a wedding, the hall set up just the way you want, everything running on time so you and the guests can hit the huge dance floor, and great service all night. George doesn’t just live up to his promises, he exceeds them.
The hall was set up beautifully. The service was great. The food was served fresh, hot, and quickly and everything tasted fantastic. The dance floor is huge and comfortably held a lot of dancers at once. We didn’t have to worry about a thing all night and focused on having fun with our friends and family. Our guests told us how much they liked the hall and raved about the food and service.
We could say a lot more about how great everything was at the Cotillion, but to make a long story short: pick the Cotillion for your wedding and let George deliver the exact wedding you want with unmatched personal service.

This place is BEAUTIFUL. We went to three different places in June 2017; The Cotillion was the very last visit of the day.
We were SOLD right when we walked in and met with George.
He gave us the full run down. The pricing, the day (before we even booked) and food.
I had a list of questions that he answered before I even asked them. I didn't even have to open my laptop word doc.
He knew what questions we had in our mind and what we were thinking.
He has been in business long enough that he know what type of thinking couples do that are newly engaged.
George was the main reason why we booked. I have never seen someone so passionate about what they do.
He was very inviting and helpful in every area.
We had our ceremony and reception in one room and I am SO glad that we did that. I was worried at first, but the day of.. I couldn't stop smiling and happy crying of how beautiful it was.. The whole day was just too good to be true. George checked in when he could, but just wanted to make sure that we were having a great time. We had so many friends and family raving about everything. The venue, the ceremony, the decorations and the food.
I will ALWAYS recommend this place to anyone and everyone getting married.
Shout out - Thank you again George.
You made our dream wedding come true.

We shopped around a bit before deciding on The Cotillion as my sister's wedding venue a few months back. The main reason we chose this place, aside from the fact that it's absolute stunning, was George. Plain and simple. If you want a smooth, hassle free experience, look no further than The Cotillion. Trust me. George is a dream to work with. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about wedding logistics and aesthetics and can back it up with years of great experience, but he's also real pleasure to work with! We had a few hiccups with other venues for the wedding events but not a single issue with The Cotillion. Working with George was an absolute breeze because he handled any and all issues that came up with ease and didn't make us feel anxious the day of. He handled our important day as if it were his personal event and you can't ask for more on your big day. A huge thank you to the entire staff and team at The Cotillion, especially George, for making our event a huge success!!!

We highly recommend this place! While venue-hunting for my daughter’s Debut (18th birthday party), the minute we stepped foot through the doors, my daughter said, “This is the place!” We wanted to thank Tom who treated us like family members and warmly accommodated us in his office every time we had an appointment with him. We also want to thank George who is a hardworking and excellent event planner/coordinator who helped us plan my daughter’s event even down to the tiniest details; he made sure everything went as planned, which contributed to the success of the event. We received a lot of compliments from our guests about The Cotillion from the decorations of our room, to the great-tasting food, and the professional services provided. The Cotillion management knows how to treat their customers like family! Thank you again to Tom, George, and the entire team at The Cotillion!

Pricing is great, quality of food after our tasting is competitive compared to the “fisherman’s inn”. professional dining. The place is georgious!! And ask for “George” he will treat you like family like he has been doin for us ever since we walked through those doors. Can’t wait for September to come and couldn’t have picked a better place than the Catilion of palatine. Also.....this dance floor is mouth dropping

The Cotillion Banquets is the best place for any kind of party like wedding, reception or any Indian ceremonies. You can find everything you could ask for and more in any banquet hall. This place has very good ambiance, perfect, absolutely stunning, the table arrangement, amazing, and the staff, so accommodating. We are very happy that we chose this place for our 25th Wedding Anniversary event. George is amazing person, helping from the beginning through the night, making sure we had everything we needed. The owners Tom and Gus and other supporting stop did an excellent service. We strongly recommend The Cotillion to our friends and families for any and all events! We have all positive feelings about this place.
Thank you George, Tom and Gus...

Our experience with The Cotillion was extraordinary. George Goumas, the wedding coordinator, made the experience exactly what we wanted. George is a genuine guy that follows through on what he says. His experience, intelligence, and preparation made us confident that our day would go as planned. The planning process was easy as we met with George a few times to go over the wedding day.
The price of the event was far more reasonable than other venues. My wife and I are were able to stay on budget and they never pushed anything on us.
On our wedding day, the Regal Room within the Cotillion, looked absolutely magnificent. My wife's vision combined with George's experience came together beautifully. Our guests were impressed with the layout of the room. The entire wedding day could not have gone better. Tom, the owner, was more than accommodating. From the waiters to the bar tenders, the entire staff was professional and responsive the whole night. The filet mignon and basil chicken were decadent, and the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. I would definitely recommend booking your wedding at the Cotillion!

We did our research on many different venues, My wife and I came across The Cotillion at the exact same time. We immediately contacted George at The Cotillion to set up a meeting so we can come in and take a tour. From the first moment that we stepped into The Cotillion we immediately fell in love. We were welcomed by George. George answered all our questions without any problems, he showed us the rooms and spent countless hours with us to help make our wedding perfect. He helped take the pressure off of my wife and I and made wedding planning that much easier. He helped us find our vendors that we used for our wedding. We couldn't be more grateful for his help. He is so easy to work with, He was very fast at responding to our emails, and letting us come in and talk about details for our wedding. We were originally going to have the wedding in the Tiara room but we got bumped to the bigger room for no extra charge, When it came to the day of the wedding. The service was fantastic,The servers are attentive and more than willing to go out of their way for you. The appetizers and food were great, Everyone was raving about how fantastic the food and appetizers were. George and Tom both checked on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was going smooth and if we needed anything. We are so glad we went with the Cotillion. We couldn't have picked a better wedding venue for our wedding. George and Tom are truly one of a kind and great at what they do. If you are looking to get married then look no further, The Cotillion is everything you are looking for. You will not be disappointed. I know we werent. We got married last Friday and we are still getting compliments on how great the decor inside the cotillion is how well it is decorated, the staff George and Tom and the food.

When you call the Cotillion and hear, "Thank you for calling the Cotillion; this is George. How may I help you please?"... you've struck GOLD! George is the best event planner ever! And he helped make our wedding reception a dream come true!! He went above and beyond the call of duty and made everything super easy and fun! His most popular answer to us was "No Problem"!! BOOK THE COTILLION!!! DON'T EVEN HESITATE!! Honestly, having a vendor with a staff member like George who will take care of you and help you is so important. He helped take the pressure off and make the wedding process so much easier and smoother than it could have been! He never waivered from being awesome from the very first day we met him and signed our contract (see my Sept 15th review on the knot haha) till the day AFTER our wedding when we popped in to pick something up! Truly, George is one of a kind... he's an absolute great guy and a fantastic event planner! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and super clean!!! The food is GREAT and the rest of the staff is awesome! Everyone raved about the food and the beauty of the venue!! Everyone had an awesome time and have complimented us so many times on our wedding! George took such great care of us, and you would be wise to connect with him for your wedding... OR any other party you are planning.. he can help with anything!!! Really, DON'T HESISTATE!! BOOK THE COTILLION!!

The Cotillion Banquets is everything you could ask for and more in a banquet hall. Start with the ambiance, perfect, absolutely stunning, the food, amazing, and the staff, so accommodating. Our wedding is still being talked about and we were married a month ago. George is amazing, helping from the beginning through the night, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will plan on coming back, and we suggest the Cotillion to anyone and everyone for any and all events!

Tom was very professional about us having our wedding there. From the beginning, There was no pressure on booking it now and getting this discount and that. He gave us best price, compare to others for amount of decor that was included. We did family style dinner and it went without any issue and charge us 50% less than what other venue were charging us. I tell everyone to look at this banquet and ask for Tom.

We booked with The Cotillion for our 135 person wedding reception in August. Everyone there is amazing from the owner to the serving people. They worked with us to make sure we had the perfect reception. They are very flexible and responsive to emails and phone calls. If we could do our wedding all over again I would defiantly still book with them. We had an issue with another wedding in a different room being extremely loud and they handled it very professionally. I would also say the bridal room in the front room is much better than the bridal room in the back room and I wished we had gotten the nicer bridal room.

I would just like to say that was the best wedding ever. Tom ,George and Elizabeth was awesome from the beginning to ending of the entire process. Omg the food was phenomenal, the broccoli soup i can still taste it with the brown raisin bread. The service was like a 5 star restaurant.Tom & George gave the true meaning of great customer service. Everything was extremely elegant. Hands down The Cotillion is the best place to have a wedding in Illinois. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡The Cotillion

I had the best wedding ever, thanks to the fantastic service, food, and staff at The Cotillion Banquets. Tom is one of the 2 owners and he is great! So easy to work with, down to earth and fun! First of all the place is gorgeous, white dance floors, crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, a beautiful staircase to enter in. Second, the food! Anyone, I told I was having the reception at the cotillion that had been there, the first thing people say is, " oh the food is great there!" That says something right away! And, after the wedding, that was my biggest compliment (after how great I looked, of course :) was that the food was exceptional! The staff that served us were also wonderful. I do not remember the name of the women, but she was the bridal parties personal server. She brought us a tray of appetizers during cocktail hour up to the bridal sweet, champagne and refilled our drinks at the head table all through out dinner. She was very friendly and on top of things. Great bartenders, wonderful atmosphere. there were no restrictions at the hall. Tom basically says anything you want goes! Wonderful people to work with, one of my friends at the wedding already booked their wedding here for next year!

My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at the Cotillion and we wouldn't have traded it for the world. Tom did everything in his power to ensure that our day was perfect. By the time we got to the reception, the room that I had seen during walk-thru's was completely transformed into a room that looked absolutely perfect. The service was absolutely wonderful and the people there truly make you feel like family. I would recommend the Cotillion to anyone looking for wonderful service at a great price!

They were fantastic! They worked with us on our guest count, our meal and were very attentive to our needs. We had a lot of last minute cancellations and they were A++ on helping us with a solution for our missing guest. They have the best food! The staff was polite and the manager were top notch with anything we needed that night. I would definitely use them again in the future for another event.

I cannot say enough great things about Dimitri and the Cotillion Banquets staff! I had my wedding there Memorial Day weekend 2013, and am blown away at how much of a calming force Dimitri has during the planning process. He was very flexible with us the entire time we were planning for the wedding and did his best to work with us on our needs. I would highly recommend this venue over the others we looked at in Chicago. I originally wanted something downtown but quickly realized the price tag for the venues versus value didn't quite add up. Cotillion looks gorgeous, is reasonably priced, and is quick to get to-- all things we were looking for in our venue. The bathrooms are clean, the bridal suites are comfortable, and the layout requires very little added decor since it is already beautiful.
Overall, thank you to Dimitri and his group for an outstanding wedding day!!! I'll try to post some wedding photos of the venue as I get them. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with them-- piece of advice, try to meet with them during the week when they aren't busy setting up for a wedding. I assume the last rater had a negative experience since they went on a Sunday during the holiday weekend.

Elegant and classy, everything I dreamed of...
Having our wedding venue at The Cotillion was the best choice we've made. We booked the venue six months before our wedding and everything was ready to go by our big day. Since it was a Sunday wedding we originally booked the Tiara Room having about 100 guests, but about a week before the wedding day Dimitri told us we can have the Crown Room since nobody else booked that day for the same price! The room was much bigger and also had a staircase that lead to a huge bridal Suite. We used this staircase to walk down as a married couple. The room was very classy and elegant; we didn't have to use any extra lighting or backdrops since it is so beautiful in itself.
Dimitri Fanellis was very easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the business, he helped us decide with a few things we weren't certain about. The staff was very prompt and professional. The food was outstanding; our guests still rave about it. I would not change anything about our venue!

The Cotillion was the perfect place for our wedding, and everyone working there was always so nice and so helpful. The price was just right for everything and the food was amazing! The cake is from The Baking Institute and that came out perfectly as well. It was exactly how we wanted it to look and taste! Both places were absolutely amazing and extremely helpful!

Having our wedding at the Cotillion was the best choice we made. They have the most elegant location for a classy, evening wedding & rehearsal. The ambiance, the staff, the food, and the professionalism which things were done was very impressive. Having our ceremony and rehearsal in one location initially made us nervous, but Cotillion did a phenomenal job in executing everything as they said they would and as we had requested. FIVE STAR SERVICE!
Many thanks to Christie and Demitri!!!
-Ben

The Cotillion provided a wonderful venue for our reception. The service was fantastic from the moment we first stepped in the door to do some research. In fact, our first impression sold us and we decided to sign a contract immediately! One of the things we liked right away was the beautiful facility. It's well maintained and looks brand new. Another thing we liked was that we were given a free tasting, which is not all that common in our experience. The day of our wedding could not have been better. The staff was outstanding and attentive to our every need. They provided us with excellent service and our meal was delicious. In fact, one of our guests, who is quite particular about food and service, commented that The Cotillion served the best food she has ever had at a reception. That is a big compliment coming from her! Overall exceptional!

Dimitri, Tom and their team are true professionals. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. The food is amazing, everyone kept commenting on how good the food was and how much of it there was! The room was gorgeous and executed to my vision perfectly. They were willing to work with us when we changed dates to a year later, helped us figure out the room configuration with our numbers and worked with us on the minimum for the room. Overall, I'm so happy we went with The Cotillion!!

Who would have thought that I would have my wedding reception at the same place I had my high school prom? The Cotillion is absolutely beautiful and everyone was so easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. The staff is flexible, organized, and cares about what the clients want. They were a pleasure to work with and we are more than satisfied with the customer service of this venue. We highly recommend them to others who are looking for an affordable, yet elegant place to hold an event!

We just had our wedding reception there on Nov. 13, 2010. The Cotillion Staff was AMAZING. We have received soooo many compliments on it, we had the Regal & Tiara Room. The staff was wonderful, not many places give you "doggie bags" or boxes for the sweet table. They also allowed us to take all the extra meals from the people that didn't show up. Dimitri was great that night, making sure our parents and the Bride & Groom were happy. I would definitely recommend this reception hall!! I've already had a few relatives say they are interested in booking a party there. I have never received so many compliments before, the main things were; the AMAZING food, the great service, how beautiful the rooms were and how much space there was!
I want to do it all over again!

We looked at many banquet halls before we found the Cotillion. When I walked in I knew I wanted to have my reception there. It was by far the most elegant banquet we've seen. The food and service was amazing! All our guests were happy and surprised by how great the food tasted. Tom was very accommodating and easy to work with. He made our experience pleasant. I will highly recommend having your reception here – beautiful interior, excellent food and service!!!

We went to many reception venues before deciding on The Cotillion and one of the things that stood out was their great customer service. The Owners are really honest and very helpful. The place is really nice looking with beautiful chandeliers. Everyone at our wedding kept saying that the food was GREAT and the place was beautiful. The regal room at the Cotillion is gorgeous. I am glad we chose the Cotillion as our reception venue and I highly recommend this place. I will most definitely be sending my friends over that way.

Dear Tom,
Christine and I would like to take this time to express to you our sincere gratitude for all the efforts that you have shown us in the area of customer service. Throughout our search for a wedding venue, we encountered many owners that were unknowledgeable, pushy, unprofessional, and frankly unfriendly individuals to work with. However, when we encountered the Cotillion, we have to say that you and your staff were very professional, pleasant to work with, motivated, and very knowledgeable. Moreover, you were very compassionate when speaking about your product and brand.
Again, we would like to take this opportunity to express to you our sincere gratitude. Truly your level of professionalism and value to illustrate to a customer that they are more than just another sale, is unmatched by anyone we have encountered within the industry.
Sincerely,
Michael & Christine
Lombard, IL
P.S. We are still receiving compliments about your amazing facility and the design of the Regal room. We will be sure to refer you to all of our friends and family, and reach out to you in the future for all of our party needs. Again, Thanks

We had our wedding reception at the Regal Room at the Cotillion & it was simply PERFECT. The owners are so nice, extremely helpful & informative. Everything was done perfectly from the decor, chair covers, lighting, menu to the food, which was out of this world good! Best food I've ever had at a wedding, hands down. Everyone was complimenting us on the food - which really made us happy. They say the food & music are what is remembered at a wedding and we had both thanks to our DJ & to the wonderful people at the Cotillion. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

They were wonderful to work with from the beginning. There was never any pressure to book. Barb helped me plan everything. I am still receiving compliments about how wonderful the food was and how pleasant the staff was. The staff seemed to anticipate our guests needs.
We had the steak and chicken combination and it arrived hot at everybody's plate. The vegetables were steamed to perfection. We had the appetizers before the dinner and they were great. Even my fussy uncles are raving about how much food was served and how good it was. They would be surprised to learn how economical it really was.
We shopped around before deciding on the Cotillon and it was an excellent choice. I had attended fashion shows there in the past and had been pleased with the food. We choose the back ballroom which was beautiful. I still cannot believe how well everything turned out. The desserts were very tasty and the cake was exactly what we wanted.
I would highly recommend this hall for any parties or weddings you might be considering.
The location was easy for my relatives from the city and from out of town to locate, being right off Route 53 and Northwest Hwy.

We cannot begin to express how absolutely amazing the Cotillion is. Especially the one and only.. George. He truly is to thank for running our ENTIRE wedding. Every dream I had for my wedding came true, and George worked with my family and I hand in hand to create the PERFECT fairy tale. He knew exactly what to do, what would like good, how to organize, and so much more. We first booked the biggest room and even though the Cotillion would have gotten more money from us, they were honest and said with our guest size, we would be paying a lot of unnecessary money to be in the biggest room. We listened, and they were so RIGHT! We barely met the minimum of the small room, AND it was still absolutely gorgeous. They are genuine and wanted us to get what we actually needed and weren’t just trying to make money. They literally had everything set up PERFECTLY. I even had fish as my centerpieces and they had no problem working with that hassel. The room was lite up with over 100 candles, everything looked like a picture, and everything George had promised came true. Then, the day of the wedding, George was there making sure everything went smoothly. He came to check on me a couple of times. He overheard me asking my mom for some water in the hallway and next thing I know he is back with an iced cold glass of water. When we got to the Cotillion we were running about 20 minutes late. He didn’t get frustrated at all, he said take your time, whenever you’re ready we will get started. The one thing I would suggest is to make sure the temperature is going to be low. It was pretty warm when everyone started dancing and we had to ask a few times to get it turned down. However, they did take care of the temperature! Anyway, I could go on and on about how beautiful the Cotillion is and how AMAZING George is. However, I will end with this, I could not have been more blown away with this venue. I would recommend the Cotillion and George to ANYONE getting who is getting married.

I love working with Cotillion Banquets! George was amazing to work with and they really made us feel at ease when planning our reception hall for our wedding. They were helpful with every little detail, and when I walked in the reception hall, I remember I gasped, because everything looked so beautiful. The food is amazing, and the vendor you work with for your wedding cake also did an amazing job (The Baking Institute). We also had a private suite with a bathroom (that accommodates wedding dresses) and we were able to make a grand entrance by walking down a beautiful staircase into the reception hall. The reason I didn't give them a 5 out of 5 is one person who worked there was a little rude on the phone - but they are not how you will work with to plan your event (just a crabby employee). We even had some surprise guests and they were able to get chairs whipped up for them right away inconspicuously! I definitely recommend them!

One of our friends recommended this venue at the beginning of our search. We called on a Saturday afternoon on a whim to check it out and they were able to accommodate a showing. Every step of the way the Cotillion has been fantastic to work with. They are responsive, accommodating and it is obvious that they love what they do. We can't wait to celebrate our wedding in this beautiful venue.

We had our wedding at The Cotillion last month and loved it. It is absolutely beautiful there. We got so many compliments on the reception hall as well as the food. Tom was very nice and easy to work with. He provided suggestions and guidance where needed. They made the planning process very smooth for us. Our guests also loved the giant dance floor in the middle of our room. We had the Crown and Tiara.
The Cotillion let us bring in our own sweet table which we were very happy with as our families were able to bake our favorite cookies. They did an excellent job on dressing the sweet table although it wasn't their food.
We had about 5 to 10 guests not show up and they were nice enough to give us all the leftover food in take home boxes.
The bridal suite was also very nice. They brought food and champagne up there for us. We loved the entrance into the reception room.
One issue that I experienced from the wedding was during our toasts. The night we got married there was one other wedding there as well. Our toasts occurred during their introductions and I could not hear or concentrate on two of the speeches as well as I wish I could have. I wish the reception hall or the two DJs could have planned that better given the wall was so thin. This was not an issue for any other portion of the evening though which I was happy about.
The other issue, which is minor, was that it took the servers a long time to clear up the tables which caused the carts to be in some of our photography. Given that they were so tall it was hard to miss them.

Our wedding at The Cotillion was beautiful. The room looked amazing and everyone raved about the food! The staff was very responsive to our needs. The only complaint we had from people was that they weren't very good about keeping the wine available during dinner. Otherwise, everything was beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue!

Thank you, George!
We had our 11/11/23 wedding at the Cotillion, and everything was beautiful and beyond. I never write reviews, but for George, I had to. We had checked out 10-15 other venues before we landed at the Cotillion, and no one was willing to help us make this day happen other than George. From the beginning, George made us feel like we were in trustworthy hands picking this venue, even family. When it came to the menu, we had different wants for our wedding, and although management wanted to stick to what they typically offer, George made sure everything was what we wanted or was flexible to make us happy. We gave George our centerpieces and all the items we wanted set up for the day. Not only did the room look how we imagined it, the guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and service, the Cotillion was spot on. George, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make this dream a reality. We will be sure to reach out for future events.
Cotillion Banquets's reply:
It was an honor to host your beautiful wedding. Thank you for the wonderful review from all of us at Cotillion Banquets and staff.

Great experience - Seamless ceremony/reception
When my fiance and I were reviewing vendors, The Cotillion stood out because of George, the man who runs the show. George is incredibly thorough, timely, understanding, and helpful. He guided us through a lot of our planning journey, showing us pitfalls that he has seen from his decades of experience, and navigating the unsure waters of wedding planning. Preparing for the worst and executing at a high level is what George does best. Not only did his ability to guide us through the planning process help immensely, he worked with us on the price and was very flexible throughout the unsure time of the pandemic. It put a lot of strain on every sector and every business, but George held firm that he would deliver my fiance (at the time) and I a wedding for the ages, and he delivered just that! The food, the decorations (the ones we did not provide), and the setup was flawless!
To whomever reads this: my wife and I highly recommend having your ceremony and your reception at the Cotillion and trust us, work with George. It made the entire process so much easier and relieved a lot of unnecessary stress!!
Something that George said to us that meant a lot, just shows what kind of a person he is: "We appreciate your belief in us, you are a beautiful couple! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and lots of love!"

The Cotillion was a great place to get married! We worked with Tom, who was extremely responsive and flexible and professional. He made sure everything ran smoothly from the planning process to the day of. The Cotillion was beautiful and we had no issues. Also, the food was delicious - especially the vegetable soup! I would highly recommend getting married at the Cotillion!

We can't thank the Cotillion enough for how seamless and well-run our wedding reception was last night. From the moment we walked into the place, we were impressed not only by the beautiful, large chandeliers and rooms but also with how professional but friendly the staff were. I worked mostly with Tom and Dimitri but also had contact with Barb and Christine throughout the entire planning process. Each person was able to help me with any questions or concerns I had. My mom was an extremely high-maintenance mother-of-the-bride and they each were able to handle her without causing further drama or stress for me. ;-) My guests raved about the food and the beautiful location.

I fell in love with this banquet facility as soon as I walked in the door. I never experienced any problems with them untill the week of our wedding. During the rehersal some woman (whom I never had to deal with before) was extremely rude and acting like I was bothering her with any question I had about how my wedding day was going to go. But I wasnt going to let her get me down, so I ignored her. But the food, the ceremony, the reception, everthing was absolutely perfect. I won't have had it anyother way, I absolutely loved my wedding and it was all thanks to the owners Tom and Demitri. They were great and very helpful and happy for us! The only reason I didnt give them a perfect 5.0 was because of the woman on my rehersal day and one of the bartenders who was rude to some of my guests which I didn't know until some of them told me after the wedding day. But I call Tom and Demitri to let them know, so it hopefully wont happen again. But overall, I would recommend this vendor to anyone :)

I was thrilled when we decided to hold our reception at The Cotillion. As far as I knew, the night went by without a hitch. The food was excellent, the service was great, the room was beautiful, the guests were happy and I ultimately thought our wedding was the best wedding I had ever been to. I know that sounds cliché because it was my wedding, but it really was an awesome event and Tom and Dmitri definitely had a huge hand in making that so.
I did find out at breakfast the day after my wedding, that there were a few things that did go wrong, but everyone worked together to resolve all the issues and I never knew they happened, so my night was still perfect.
I have had nothing but compliments from wedding guests since the night of our wedding. The Cotillion did a fantastic job of taking care of our guests.
They are perfectly located RIGHT off of route 53 so your guests can get to them very easily. Their hall is beautiful and the food and service was excellent. I would recommend The Cotillion to ANYONE looking for a reception hall.
Thank you Tom and Dmitri!

In our phone calls/meetings, we were always told how busy they were & that I'd have to call back. George always told us not to worry & that we were his priority on the day of the wedding. He said he'd be in our room the entire time, however, that couldn't be further from the truth. When I needed to speak with him, he was never found.
George likes to talk a lot, but he has trouble listening. He booked our tasting & asked that we give a call 1 week in advance. When we called, he said we couldn't do our tasting on the date arranged, which we had already made arrangements with BM/MOH. During the tasting, he left never to be seen again. When it came to giving our choices, we had to call another day & give descriptions of the sides & hope for the best. When it came to the decor, I thank God that I went through the final bill in detail. George never added our table linen choices (not to mention mis-quoting us the price on these & lights). We also asked if we could take pictures on the stairs on the day of the event, & he told us what we wanted to hear. On our Wedding, George instructed our photographer to stop taking pictures in this area.
We requested the bar be extended (we both felt that 2 hours was too long to be closed). We chose to open the bar at 8:30 (as opposed to 9:00) for an additional $400. At 8:45 pm the bar was still not open (and no owner or George to be found). I once again left the banquet hall in search of them. I was able to get the bar open & have it serve until 12:15, but by that time more guests were gone, the music stopped playing, & the bar began to stop serving specified drink requests, so it was a waste of money.
In regards to money, I didn't hit my 175 guest minimum. I understand that was my requirement, so I accepted paying for 13 meals that they weren't going to even make. When I alerted them to an error in that we needed 4 more steaks and 4 less chicken meals, they forced me to write a $74 check ~ tacky & a true nickel & dime service!

The Cotillion is beautiful and the food is delicious. The good ends there. We worked with George and we were so disappointed by him. He is like a used car salesman and will tell you anything you want to hear but not deliver. We paid for a draped background for behind our head table and they never put it up. We asked George about it a few times the day of and he kept promising it would be there and it wasn't. During our ceremony we could hear the other room's music through the walls. When I dropped off all the candy George said he would set it up and not to worry about it, the day of our wedding he asked my mom to set it up because he "didn't know how to do it". Then he finally got another staff member to set it up but not as he described it would be to us. George wasn't around during our wedding at all like he said he would be, ours obviously wasn't as important as the other ones going on. I also bought a ton of glowsticks for that night and I wanted them in by the photobooth props but George said to put them in the lobby with our placecards and they ended up getting taken by another wedding that was going on. It was just one frustration and disappointment after another on our wedding day when we were promised everything would be taken care of and we had nothing to worry about. If we were to do it again I would not have my ceremony there. Also, try to get someone other then George to work with. Tom was helpful the night of our wedding and he was professional, he was able to get a few of our glowsticks back and he was very apologetic about how our day went with.
