    Great space & awesome service!

    I had to use one of their spaces for a filming project - was a great space, quiet location and awesome customer service!

    10 years of succesful events at Royal

    I'd like to leave this review on behalf of Raleigh Bridge Club. We've been renting the Royal's main ballroom twice a week for the past 10 years (basically every Tuesday and Thursday evenings). We've been also holding our sectional tournaments there during the past 4 years. These are 2.5 days events (Thursday through Saturday) with 150+ participants held twice a year. We are very happy with the relationship we established and with the services Royal has been providing over all these years. Each of our sessions requires very specific setup of multiple tables and chairs and Royal has been extremely diligent and professional about it (as well as cleaning the area before our sessions and events). Any issues we reported over the years were promptly addressed. And in case of unforeseen events (like the pandemic), we were able to bring all the options to the table and come up with mutually satisfactory arrangements. In general, I am happy to recommend Royal. 10 years with them and looking forward to more!

    Raleigh Bridge Club, President

    Great Venue

    This venue was perfect for us. Very flexible, we had both the reception and ceremony here and the room was very easy to flip for both. And although the conference room is not bridal suite equipped we were able to make it work. I appreciate the Royal Banquet staff for making our day special.

    The Royal Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! You were a delight and we are so happy you selected The Royal! Congratulations once again on your recent marriage!

    Absolutely amazing

    This venue was absolutely amazing! The staff is friendly and quick to respond, and the venue is absolutely beautiful. With us having our wedding during a pandemic, we couldn't have asked for better service or a better venue team.

    The Royal Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Simply Amazing

    Our wedding was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have pulled it off without the Royal. The venue has a beautiful open floor plan which allowed ample spacing for our friends and family. Carla and Brooke were beyond helpful and responded to all questions within a timely manner. I’m not sure I can thank the Royal enough for being there every step of the way.

    The Royal Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Jelisa-It was our absolute pleasure! You and your guests were wonderful! Your event was beautiful, perfectly and safely executed. You were a delight to work with and we hope to see you in the future for a birthday or anniversary celebration!

    Wonderful venue that made our event stress free

    The Royal Banquet team listened and easily met all of our details we needed for our event. The team was quick to respond, easy to work with, and made our event stress free. Would absolutely use them again and refer the venue to friends.

    Very Responsive and Kind Personnel

    The Royal was very accommodating and their personnel were all very sweet and helpful. They had a lot of good advice about how to use the space and responded quickly to questions that I had. They were also very flexible when we had difficulty securing an ABC permit for the event. The space turned out really lovely and all my guests enjoyed the event and complimented the venue.

    November 16, 2019

    Carla was always efficient to responding to any questions I had. The staff was quite pleasant as well. One of my vendors was lucky enough to get in the night before to decorate. Very appreciative of that. One thing I would suggest is getting new carpet it’s outdated and take away from the actual venue; or even maybe hardwood floor. My cathedral veil didn’t agree with the carpet.

    The Royal Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    You were such a delight! Thank you for your kind words! We are looking forward to some exciting changes in 2020!

    Director Supported Employment Services

    The entire staff were professional and through in the planning of my event. Documents were delivered in a timely manner. Staff took time to understand my unique needs and provided me with outside resources to accomplish my goals. The facility provided for an excellent learning environment. The staff provided supports before, during and after my event. Looking forward to future training conferences.

    My dream wedding come true

    I cannot be happier with the venue we chose for our April wedding. I fell in love with The Royal from the first tour and went to 5 more tours even after we booked, because the place holds so many possibilities. Carla was amazing and so helpful through the entire process and answered my many questions so quickly. I never had a hard time trying to get in contact with anyone and the staff was always so kind. We were very pleased with all that was included for the price and could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day or venue. I would definitely recommend for your future events.

    Awesome wedding venue

    We had my daughter's wedding reception at The Royal. I cant say enough great things about the venue! Perfect location, easy to book, affordable, great communication and easy to work with. You can bring your own caterer, bartender, decorator...very flexible. We used the entire venue and had cocktail jour and photo booth out in the open area by the entry doors. So many possibilities!! I would say 216 people can be comfortably seated at round tables of 8. Everyone loved the venue. Highly reccomend
