Alpine Banquets

All I can say is WOW! We just had our wedding here April 4^th and every single thing turned out beautiful and perfect. I have never experienced customer service in my life as good as alpine banquets. Sebastian was so helpful, so calming, and so so so knowledgeable with every question I had. As a bride to be the weeks before the wedding I was frantic and had phone call after phone call of issues and questions. Every time I talked to him or Helen they helped and I don’t think I was ever once tr «no we can’t do that.» They handled all of the fine details and when the big day came everything was handled perfectly. The food was amazing– we chose family style plates. The servers there were great and we still remember «Kathy with a K» and her great (and prompt!) service for our head table. The bartenders were a riot and definitely matched our party like atmosphere. Upon our first meeting with Helen almost a year before our wedding, before we had even chosen our venue, I knew that this place was soo much better than anywhere else. The other places are too commercial. They have multiple weddings a weekend and I got the feeling that we were not special to them. Alpine, however, is family run and it shows through in every aspect of their business. I honestly could not be happier with the service we experienced. I would recommend them to any engaged couple in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding here last month and had a wonderful experience with Helen & Sebastian. They were very attentive and easy to work with. Alpine was by far the best banquet hall we could find that fit within our budget. The hors d’oeuvres, bar, and cake were included at a pretty affordable price.
The night of, the ballroom looked fantastic and better than I imagined. We got a lot of compliments on the hors d’oeuvres. I have food allergies (gluten & dairy) and Alpine was very accommodating, making me a separate plate of appetizers and altering my dinner. The food was good for a banquet hall and a crowd pleaser, which was important since some of our family is kind of picky (they’re very meat & potatoes people). I would definitely recommend the baked chicken.
Overall, I highly recommend Alpine. It is a well-​kept and well-​run business. For what was in our price range, it was above and beyond the best. We were very pleased with our experience.

Just had my wedding here last Saturday and was fantastic. We were a little scattered… but Sebastian and his team put everything together beautifully.
The ballroom was gorgeous, the food was really good. I highly recommend doing the plated dinner as the family style was not very good when we did the tasting. The champagne chicken was delicious (I had it without the champagne sauce) and people complimented the prime rib. The green beans and mashed potatoes were tasty but pretty standard. We did passed apps during cocktail hour and those were quite a hit.
My only complaint was that they ran out of food. The more people I talk to the more people I realize did not get what they ordered. I have heard from at least 10 people that ordered prime rib that did not receive it. Sebastian told me at the end of the evening the «four people forgot what they ordered» I don’t know what happened, we had multiple people not show up and yet, they ran out of a main courses and some people who ordered prime rib ended up with chicken or vegetarian. That was disappointing and I felt really bad for those people, plus I paid for prime rib for A LOT of people (which was more expensive). Not happy about that.
Otherwise, things went off without much of a hitch! The hard work that they put into putting together the reception is apparent and the rooms are much prettier and more detailed than your average banquet hall in a hotel or restaurant.
They have coat check, a bridal room, uplights for behind the head table, various colored linens and napkins and dessert is included. We had cupcakes and they turned out great.
So happy with how most things went. Hopefully they figure out a way to prevent this problem with the plated dinners from happening again. I even coded the place cards for what people were getting, so maybe they should have gone by that. Oh well, still had a wonderful time and would recommend this place.

Went to a wedding at Alpine Banquets and was very impressed, large hall, very nicely decorated, good food and very clean. If I did not have a venue booked for my wedding I would definitaively book there. Oh and a lot of parking space.

well a friend of me invite me to the catilian… quincianera i love that place i love the suburbs…
food was ok… soup, salad i can see the black letucce, bread roolls ok, beef w/​gravy, pork w/​gravy, the mash potatoes look from the box totally they dont put butter or milk or heavy cream… the veggies broccoli & coliflower overcook, gravy straigth from the can, then they serve food late… then they had 2 events the aniversary next door & the catilian and i see how the manager tell the dj put the music low… then the set up the sweet table cookies from aldi store, fruit such strawberryes, cantaoupe, watermelon, bananas & chocolate fountain but… they forget the tongs… so ppl use their hands ewwwwww
well thanks to my frieend drive to chicago to this nice banquets…

I was here for a bridal shower. The food all had a frozen dinner type taste to it. There really were no redeeming qualities, sorry to say. A dingy experience all around. If food quality is important to you, look elsewhere.

We attended a wedding here recently and had a great time. I mean I love weddings to begin with but this place did not take away any of the fun! The facility is well kept and clean and nice looking inside and out.
The staff was great. They were all friendly and fast, fast, fast! We ate family style with very standard wedding fare: chicken, beef, veggies, etc… The food was good and there was nothing that really stood out as super delicious but there was nothing that was bad either. It was a good meal.
The bar was located about 10 feet behind two tables. This was quite a bottleneck but the bartenders did an OK job of getting people their drinks so people kept moving. I also heard reports that 2 out of 3 women’s bathroom stalls were out of order which caused some huge delays.

Well, the Ballroom looked nice and the food servers were friendly. The chicken in Round 1 was dry. In Round 2, it was hot, fatty, and soggy. There really wasn’t much meat to the chicken. The beef was overcooked and soaked in gravy. The potatoes were decent enough; the salad, so-​so. The mostaccioli was oversauced and too sweet. The bread was good.
The location of the bar made it very hard to get to the bar. A table sits only a few feet from the bar and of course people stand around near the bar. If it weren’t for the position of the table, access would be easier.

This review is about 7 months late but well worth the time. My husband and I got married there in September of 2010. All I can say is AMAZING! The service that we received from Day 1 of walking in was of the highest level imaginable. Helen is the owner and she really takes a personal interest in making sure that your day goes off without a hitch and that everything is perfect. We went by one day to drop off a payment and saw Helen setting up for a party the next day, she was walking by each table straightening linens and centering lights so everything looked perfect. We were sold by the looks and the prices, extremely reasonable. We were able to do so much more with our budget there. We chose a plated dinner with Alpine Chicken and Roast Beef. We were told by several guests that they were unable to finish all of the food with the hors d’oeuvres, dinner, dessert, chocolate fountain and sausage and sandwiches at the end of the night. Everyone said how wonderful the food was! We were extremely pleased because the last thing you want at your wedding is for your guests to leave hungry. The centerpieces and table overlays with the chair covers made the room look so elegant. When I walked in I would’ve thought that I was in a fancy high rise downtown overlooking the lake. Unbelievable. Also, they had Tanqueray Vodka in their standard bar package so no need for an upgrade. Also, request David as your bartender. After people ordered their first drink, he had another one waiting for them as they started walking towards the bar.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alpine. They made my day flawless and beautiful and I couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. Helen offers you advice and suggestions with planning your event, she wants to ensure that they provide you with everything you expect and more. I will absolutely be having future events at Alpine!
