Testimonials










Below are some unsolicited reviews about European Crystal Banquets from past patrons and guests, collected from online review websites.


I have to tell all of you on how pleased we were with everything for my wedding celebration! People loved the look of EC and were raving about how good the food and cake were. Several of my guests have children who are engaged and will most definitely encourage them to "check you out !"
To all of the staff at EC they were all exceeding nice and informative  and accommodating. I highly recommend this place..   - W.T., Arlington Heights, IL. Taken from Yelp.com



I had my wedding here a few months ago.  Anna helped me through the ordeal, and I would recommend her as a great help to me.  She really assisted the whole night, and I really didn't have a care in the world.  The actual site is gorgeous, and the food is exquisite.  They really worked with me to get the menu that I really wanted.  The cakes are baked by their own pastry chef and she is great. I love sweets but generally hate cake, and not only did she use my picture and re-create it perfectly, but it was also the best gosh-darned cake I have ever had. - Jessica O., Glenview, IL.

My best friend got married here... and it was beautiful. There are two banquet rooms that are very different. One is more modern with clean lines and modern lighting. And the other is traditional in decor with crown molding and beautiful chandeliers. We were in the latter. I know about the other one because a groomsman and I crashed the other wedding at the end of the night. The other bride actually invited us over.
The food... is fantastic for wedding food. We had a filet mignon - it was slightly overcooked, but I like mine pretty rare. We also had a Chilean Sea Bass in a lemon butter sauce that was amazing. The side potatoes and vegetables were delicious as well.For dessert, the tiramisu wedding cake was a little dry, but still very good. The dessert buffet was OUT OF CONTROL. There must have been at least 15 different single serve desserts. Amazing.
Good size dance floor to bust a move on.
The bridal suite is a bit small, but large enough to fit my gorgeous bride and six bridesmaids.
Overall, this is a great place to have your wedding reception if you are in the suburbs. - Caroline A., Chicago, IL. Taken from Yelp.com



GREAT FOOD!!! GREAT AMBIANCE!!! GREAT SERVICE!!
We loved working with Michelle, the room turned out stunning, Michelle was very accommodating and helped us every step of the way, our guests were impressed with the food & desserts.. we even had a few guests request special meals the night of, and they accommodated them with a special meal, no gripes! Bartenders remembered my guests drinks all night... I have nothing bad to say! Loved it all! - Niki K., Chicago, IL. Taken from Yelp.com



We held our wedding reception here at the end of October 2010. It was an evening to remember! We were drawn to this hall for its looks, stayed because of its potential, and were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the evening went. Everything was fantastic (nothing is perfect, but right up there and managed very well). The contract was no hassle, everything was spelled out - no hidden fees... the taxes, gratuity, and everything was all spelled out and Michelle got us an invoice before payment was due to keep things simple. Actually, when we came in with less people than expected, they agreed to let us have a dessert buffet instead of paying for 15 unneeded dinners and having it be wasted. I dropped off all my centerpieces, table cards/names, champagne flutes, etc the week before the wedding with a list of directions for setup.

The day of the wedding, everything set up exactly the way we discussed and there were no "surprises" the day of the wedding. Michelle was our event coordinator and took us through the planning. The night of the wedding, she came to me a few times to ask/clarify the questionable things (random uncles bringing their own alcohol, DJ time change, do you want us to box the cake, etc). It kept us in control, but we knew that she was handling it so we could enjoy ourselves and she didn't track us down every three seconds with needless questions. The bartender left a little to be desired and we had to ask to turn down the heat (probably from too many people dancing!) but other than that, flawless evening from start to finish.

We've gotten more compliments on the dinner than any other part of the whole wedding. Everyone loved it! It was BY FAR the best food we've had at a big group event ever (fillet minion, chicken christopher, and a twice-baked potato) The cake was beautiful and better than I'd imagined it to look. I just couldn't have asked for a better or more memorable wedding day.

this venue was amazing! they took care of everything, and I mean everything! I didn't have the least bit worry. My ceremony room was gorgeous and my Reception was so fancy! lol. I also did my rehearsal dinner at European Crystal and I would totally recommend doing that for other Brides. The Food was delicious, everyone was professional and all my guests were super impressed. Alice and Krystyna were exceptional. - Melvuture. Taken from Weddingwire.com



I got married on September 5, 2009 at European Crystal and had a traditional Polish wedding. I had my wedding in the North part of the Grand Ballroom. My wedding coordinator at the banquet hall was Michelle...she is GREAT - very helpful, sincere, and knows how to please her customers!!!
My wedding was my dream come true!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better. The b...anquet room was decorated beautifully, everything was TOP NOTCH!! The food was great (even though I did not get a chance to eat everything) but everybody told me it was amazing, we had a half of chicken breast with a mushroom sauce and filet minion steak with another sauce that at this time I don't remember. They have a lot of selection of meals that you can choose from. I also had a 'cold table' that was brought out at around 11pm which consisted of sandwiches, red borscht and a whole smoked salmon -- everybody was impressed. The 'sweet table' was unbelievable, the selection and quality of the sweets and fruits was delicious!!!
The guest were happy with the open bar and Sebastian was an amazing bartender...THANKS SO MUCH!
The party was so awesome that we had to extend the party till 2am!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EUROPEAN CRYSTAL TO EVERYONE....YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL BE WONDERFUL AND YOUR GUESTS WILL BE BEYOND THRILLED AND HAPPY AND WILL REMEMBER YOUR WEDDING FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!
Thank you for making my wedding day one of the best days of my life!!!! - Bellagirl. Taken from Weddingwire.com



I just recently had my wedding there, and had the most wonderful expierence ever! I was working with Michelle from the 1st time I walked in for my 1st appointment to the end of my wedding night..Everything that was said on their end was promised and delivered. Michelle, the owners of European Crystal, and all of their managers were all working at my wedding which made me feel very comfortable, and if i needed anything I knew where to find them...they were so attentive to every detail and made sure that the dinner was going smoothly and not rushed! The food was out of this world..I ended up going with a combination plate of filet minion and chicken christopher! All of my guests were flooding me with compliments about the food and the sweet table..the majority of my guests were half Italian and half Polish and they all left my wedding very happy..I couldnt ask for a better venue or better service! Every dollar that I spent there was well worth it, and I would reccomend to all of my family and friends to have any kind of special event at European Crystal Banquets..At the end of my wedding night, I left European Crystal very happy and felt like I was treated as I was part of their family..nothing but good things to say about this place! :) - Lisa.

I just recently held my traditional Indian wedding at European Crystal. All I have to say is....my wedding was a dream come true! The Venue is BEAUTIFUL!! I've gotten so many compliments on choosing that place. We used the Grand Ball Room for the ceremony and reception, and the lunch was held in the room on the side. Both these rooms were BEAUTIFULLY done and everything was perfect. Honestly...I could keep going on about how perfect it was.

I worked with Christina and Michelle, and I could not have asked for anyone better. Both of these ladies made sure that the event was perfect, they went far and beyond what would have been expected.

Most people say that the bride is always so stressed and never gets to enjoy her wedding...well I would disagree. If you choose the right place and work with the right people, the bride can enjoy her wedding day. I've had people tell me that I looked like I was having the most fun and looked so happy. I was, and if I had a choice..I would do the whole thing over again! - Dipti G. Taken from Insiderpages.com

All of our guests came up to us and raved about how good their dinner was- filet mignion and chillean sea bass! we even had a vegeterian meal come out of no where and they chef prepared a vegeterian puff pastry for our guest.. I highly reccomend this place to anyone who is looking for a beautiful hall, outstanding food, and impecable service! - Michelle C. Taken from Insiderpages.com


I attended a wedding here , the facility is magnificent the Grand Ballroom is beautiful with gorgeous chandeliers and impressive ceilings. The food was the best I have ever had in a banquet it was almost like I was eating in a high end restaurant the staff was very attending you could see at least 3 managers on the floor overlooking the wedding when I ask for a vegetarian meal they were able to accommodate me on a spot I thought that was impressive I had experienced difficulties at other places with that but they had no problem accommodating me. Overall I strongly recommend the facility for weddings. Go check it out. By the way it is very conveniently located just off the I 90. - Elizabeth N. Taken from Insiderpages.com
