Concorde Banquets

Attended a friend’s wedding at Concorde Banquets and the venue was really beautiful! The ballroom we were in was spacious and intricately decorated. The whole venue itself was very clean and elegant.
The only thing I wasn’t extremely fond of was sharing the venue with another wedding, but I guess that’s just what you get with banquet halls.

First let me tell you I was guest not the host so I can speak personally about their prices or booking process. As a guest I was tremendously impressed. With the food, customer service and attention to detail.
Food: definitely NOT your typical ‘banquet hall’ quality. Everything was properly prepared, properly presented and tasted divine!!! Appetizers included shrimp cocktail, tomato bisque, lamb chops, stuffed mushroom caps and more.
Customer Service: not only did they attend to everyone’s needs but they were very professional and polite when faced with some rude guest behavior!!! (Some guest staked out the kitchen door and stormed the servers and took everything off their tray before the could even enter the room. Embarrassing! They simply entered from different doorways and the hallway so that every guest at every corner of the hall could be serviced! Clever

Concorde did an absolutely amazing job with our engagement party, which is why we chose to have our wedding here as well! John in incredibly professional and helpful. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and the banquet room was perfection. A banquet hall can’t get any better than this!

Beautiful venue and great food! Our wedding was perfect. I was really happy with the service.

Concorde did a great job with our wedding reception. They were good about providing us with information, helping us make selections, and being available to meet. We worked with John and he was very professional.
The reception itself looked very nice, and the food was amazing! We received several comments about how good the chicken was (usually pieces of chicken this big are too dry but
Concorde prepared it very well). Also the pastry table was cleaned out soon after it opened — it was very popular.
We would certainly recommend Concorde Banquets for a wedding reception

Worst management ever. After allowing another guest to vandalize the welcome signature of a wedding. The manager than verbally abused two guests because they looked in another room even though we constantly had people walking in to our wedding. Manager was rude and wasn’t concerned about anything but our guests trying to find the person who vandalized the sign. Never visit again.

On 8÷16÷2014 Concord banquet reservation was signed with an $ 850 deposit. The reservation date was 11÷7÷2015. At time of contractual agreement, a verbal agreement was also made stating that a refund would be provided if a reservation is cancelled within a timely manner and the reserved room is still booked on the same date and time by a 3^rd party. There were 3 witnesses present aside from myself and the business. The room reservation was cancelled on 9÷20÷2014 which is a month after signing and over a year before the reservation date. Since that day I have called concord banquets numerous times and every time I call I am told that room B is booked for 11÷7÷2015. When I mention who I am and what I am calling for, they immediately change their answer and tell me they were looking at the wrong date and 11÷7÷15 is still open. I believed them at first, but after multiple calls with the same results, I know concord banquets is now avoiding me and the promise they made to me upon agreement. All I am asking for is my deposit back especially since no time or money was wasted by concord within that time frame.

Very professional and competent staff.
The food is amazing here and the staff is always willing to accommodate to your needs.
We had an outdoor wedding that ended up been indoors and late due to the rain. The staff here made it so easy to accommodate to our needs and move our ceremony inside.
Prices are extremely good compare to the city as well.

The team at Concorde was fabulous. They surpassed my every wish, whim, and expectation. My family and friends were so impressed with the food, décor, and wonderful customer service. I will recommend Concorde to every bride I meet because their attention to detail was amazing. We are so thankful to them for pulling off such a great event. Thank you Concorde!

I attended an event recently, expecting an average banquet dinner. The food was excellent, way better than I ever imagined and the staff was so friendly. Thanks for a great evening!

My Wife and I recently had our wedding reception party at Concorde Banquets, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. We worked with John, whom truly understands how to deliver an evening beyond expectations; a night we’ll never forget.
They transformed their already elegant ballroom into a fairytale setting. They provide a variety of décor options to fit your custom vision. The venue had such great accommodations; everything from the elegant double height reception atrium, their cocktail lounge on the elevated level, and the spacious banquet room were all top-​notch and added memorable character to our already unforgettable day. The banquet room set-​up was absolutely stunning.
The flow of the banquet room was effortless between the points of entry, the dance floor and stage, the dining tables, and the bars /​dessert table. Their food was incredible; 200 people served, hot and delicious; I heard rumors that the bride & groom typically don’t have time to eat during their own wedding, but my wife and I made certain to stay seated for this meal! The evening felt so naturally charming and we’ve received copious compliments from friends and family of how spectacular everything was. Concorde Banquets and John deserve those compliments, and I would be amiss for not recognizing the support & guidance from my parents-​in-​law during the event planning process.

We loved every second of our experience with Concorde Banquets. John is so amazingly attentive to the needs of everyone involved in your events. Our outdoor wedding was amazing and beautiful! John walked us through every step of the planning process and helped with every detail.
We were very greatful when on the day of the wedding John offered to help us find a new DJ when we ours was running inexcusably late.
The food the Concorde serves is superb. The complements are still coming in from our wedding in August. We were told by many people that the food was better than most restaurants they have been to.
We recommend the concorde to everyone. Especially if you are desiring a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Concorde was the best choice we have ever made.

We want to say we’ve never been disappointed with any event we have attended here. Needless to say when we decided to get married there was no other place that we even considered. The entire event was fabulous! Friends and family loved everything. We owe a huge thank you to John for all of his help. The evening was magical. We personally attended 3 other weddings in the same month, the food and ambiance didn’t even come close to what we received here. Can’t say enough good things!!! Thank you so much. If you want to have the full package this is the place!

We had our wedding reception here two weekends ago and I can’t even put into words how blown away I was with every aspect. The room was absolutely stunning and the service surpassed all expectations. The grounds the venue sit on are also gorgeous and we were able to take all of our pictures after the ceremony there. We got married on a Friday so this was a huge bonus with the limited time we had between the ceremony and reception. The pictures I have seen look amazing with the gazebo and water in the background.
The food was absolutely amazing. I had compliment after compliment about the great food. The servers even went table to table to see if anyone wanted their steak cooked more and every staff member was so attentive, not only to us but to all of our guests. I quite frankly am shocked that there is a single bad review written. From the time we walked into the door John and Peter were very professional and easy to work with. They went the extra mile to ensure our day was perfect. I know friends who have paid double for their wedding reception and the overall quality of the night didn’t even compare to our experience here. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married. I have the best memories and I am still elated when I think of that evening.

Everything about the Concorde Banquets was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we walked in and met with John for a tour of the venue to the moment we walked out at the end of our September 2013 wedding reception, I could not have been happier with the experience. John and his staff are very nice, accommodating and easy to work with. We thought they were going to nickle and dime us for everything, but they actually threw in a lot of extras free of charge. For example, we wanted 4 high boy cocktail tables and extra votives on the dinner tables, and they just added them without even a second’s hesitation. When we got to our reception, I noticed we had the Chivari chairs (usually $ 7 each) and we didn’t ask for them or pay for them. It’s the little things that make your experience special! In addition, the food was to die for! I still have guests commenting on how delicious food was. The steaks and chicken were moist and the salmon was perfectly done. They have a great chef (and team) back in their kitchens! The rest of the banquet hall was great too — lots of room to dance or sit at the table, great room layout and a cute little gazebo and pond to take bridal and family pictures.
Concorde Banquets is a wonderful place and I would highly recommend it to have your wedding and/​or reception (or any function). John and his team are great to work with and really go the extra mile. Considering what we paid for our reception, the quality of food and service we received, this place is a great value and Lake County’s best kept secret!

I had my wedding here in October 2012 and I still cannot stop thinking about how amazing it was. Concorde is absolutely amazing in every way! The food, the décor, the atmosphere, the staff, the cleanliness, the bathrooms… it’s all the best!!! Can’t emphasize enough how amazing this place is… highly recommend Concorde over any other venue!!!

My partner and I were married at Concorde and had our reception in February 2013. Everything, from the food to the décor to the service to the price, was absolutely perfect. John and Peter were a pleasure to work with and ensured that our special day was everything we had hoped for. Many of our guests told us it was not only the best wedding, but the best party, that they had ever attended. Much of this was due to Concorde. Thanks for everything, Concorde!

I have passed by here many times & would see weddings going on & the place looked really nice.
I recently went here for a company party. The place is what I expected on the inside which is a really nice banquet hall.
The service here however was not that great. I felt as soon as I got my food that they expected me to finish it by the time they came back so they could clear the table.
The food was good but nothing great. The food was not that hot but was still pretty good.
Overall this was a nice banquet hall & the food was good but it could have been better & I didn’t like the fact that I felt I was being rushed. Other than that the place was very nice.

Went to a wedding here recently and had a blast. The grounds are nice and well kept, lots of people outside taking photographs and such.
The actual ceremony was upstairs, and then we just wobbled on down to one of the 5 or 6 large banquet rooms for the reception.
When our DJ was quiet (almost never) you could kind of hear the music through the walls from the other parties… not really an issue.
The food was quite good (choice of chx or beef) and they must have a bad ass pastry chef because the dessert tables were amazing looking. I was so full after the four courses of food I almost didn’t have room for booze! (hey, I said *almost*)
You have to go out front to smoke (like everywhere in the state) and they were cool about letting people bring their drinks outside for that.
Lots of people taking hotel busses and cabs, no trouble getting a safe ride home whatsoever.

Really enjoyed attending a reception here a few weeks ago, except for 2 big safety hazards:
1) There is only glassware for the drinks. When your family has toddlers or kids, there should be plastic cups available. Heck, even when you have drunk adults, there should be plastic cups available. Thankfully, there was only one break at our party, and no one was cut.
2) Not all restrooms have a handicap accessible stall. There are restrooms attached to some of the ballrooms so that you don’t have to trek across the entire building if you need to go. However, people with disabilities need a close bathroom more than people with working knees and hips do. One of the grandmothers almost had a fall in the restroom attached to the ballroom because she couldn’t make it across the entire building and opted for the close one — but there were no grab bars in any of the stalls. The stall was large enough to be a handicap stall — but someone cut corners on the cost and didn’t want to fork out a few hundred to have grab bars installed.
Otherwise, the food was good. The room was really pretty. The reception itself was fantastic.
