We went to Crystal Palace Banquets after a funeral…read more Service was fantastic, food was so very good and the bartender was amazing (he made a mean kiddie cocktail).

.... ....13 June 2026 …read more.. .... ........The Reception.......... The wedding between Mitchell and Krystal was fantastic and everyone enjoyed their reception at the Crystal Palace , Mount Prospect, Illinois. This was the typical Assyrian reception with hummus, pita bread , samosas, followed by a salad. Red and White Wine was present at every table. The music was middle eastern as was the food. Meat kabobs and Chicken kabobs served with white rice. The food was very tasty , especially the Samosas. The Crystal Palace is adorned with Crystal Chandeliers throughout the banquet hall, hence it's name , Crystal Palace. There was an open bar , dancing , good food , music and a wonderful time was had by all as two families join together as one. The father - daughter dance was emotional. So too was the mother & son dance. Family and friends tossed money on the couple as they enjoyed their first dance as Man & Wife. It's tradition in the Middle East to shower the couple with money.

Acabamos de celebrar la Quinceañera de mi hija en el Cotillion y no tengo palabras para expresar lo increíble que fue el equipo, el servicio, la comida y el hermoso salón.

As with most Wedding Planners and Event Managers - we are very focused on finding the ideal venue,…read morewhich will help us to deliver a beautiful and memorable event for our clients. Our first impression upon arriving at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL - for an upcoming wedding venue selection visit, was the grand and opulent exterior and ample parking lot. Our team from Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, was greeted by George, the director and information specialist on everything you hoped for, wanted and envisioned to happen, at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL. George is beyond warm, pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, charming, gracious, efficient, and oh so very skilled at listening to what you would like to accomplish for the event, that you have been hired to do. We hit it off with George IMMEDIATELY upon meeting him. He took us on a guided tour of The Cotillion Banquets, explaining to us in measured detail, what was at our disposal, to ensure that we would be able to do everything that we had planned, and be able to provide our clients - the wedding of their dreams, with regards to their décor and wedding theme. The staff at The Cotillion, under George's dedicated, experienced and genuine love and pride for what he has been doing for so many, many years - also reflects the outstanding service provided by everyone at The Cotillion Banquets. The kitchen staff, is beyond kind, truly professional and obviously loves what they do. The table settings were impeccable. The food - all freshly prepared by The Cotillion staff - is simply AMAZING !!! When we first arrived to meet with George and get to see what The Cotillion had to offer - we had already been informed about the superb level of service and the first class menu selections. The Cotillion DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We were also introduced to the owners of The Cotillion, who were also so genuinely kind and considerate, obviously wanting to also ensure, that we knew they were available, should we have any additional concerns. The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine will forever be Number One on our recommendation list for any and all events, which we are privileged to manage. We cannot say enough about ALL that George did to make this wedding event so beautiful, memorable, classy and successful. No matter how skilled, talented, or experienced an Event Planner is - without directors such as George at the venue site - who can offer their kindness, experience and support - an event will not be as successful and seamless as you may have envisioned. We at Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, are eternally grateful to you George, your staff and the owners - at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine - for your genuine friendship, guidance and assistance, in helping to make the wedding event on November 22, 2024, the elegant success that it was. THANK YOU GEORGE, FOR MAKING OUR JOB SEAMLESSLY SUCCESSFUL!! Bravo to you George and a special toast as well to you and Everyone at The Cotillion Banquets.

Don't overthink it, hire DJ Don Carlo for the best party!…read more We are beyond grateful for the incredible work DJ Don Carlos and his team put into making our wedding day perfect! From our first consultation to the ceremony rehearsal, he was professional, organized, and made us feel at ease. His guidance ensured that everything ran smoothly, and our entire wedding party felt prepared. As the emcee, he brought an infectious energy that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! The mix of Mexican and American music was perfect--everyone was dancing until their feet hurt! Thanks to him, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our big day. We can't recommend him enough!

Hands down, the BEST wedding DJ ever!…read more From our very first meeting, Carlos stood out with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for what he does (and great smile!). He worked with us from the early stages of planning, meeting with us monthly to ensure every detail was perfect--including helping build out our timeline. He brought amazing recommendations, was always reliable, and made the entire process stress-free and fun. What truly sets him apart is his personality--so personable, humble, and easy to connect with. By the time the wedding came, it felt like a friend was running the show. And WOW, did he deliver! I was on the dance floor for 3 hours straight, and so was everyone else. The energy never dipped, and it was truly the most fun I've ever had at a party--let alone my own wedding. Out of all our vendors, he was by far my absolute favorite. I'll be finding any excuse to hire him again in the future. If you're thinking of booking him--do it. You won't regret it!

Jessica and the Anemone team completely understood our vision and somehow made it even better than…read morewe imagined. The florals at our wedding had everyone oohing and aahing from the moment they walked in. The mandap was truly something out of a dream. Walking down the aisle and seeing it for the first time is a moment I will never forget. It was absolutely breathtaking. I threw so many random details and inspiration photos her way, and somehow she took all of it and turned it into a cohesive, stunning color palette that felt effortless and intentional. One detail that stood out most were the orchids. In the lead-up to the wedding, Jessica actually texted me asking if I liked the flower, and the gorgeous pink-and-purple spotted orchids she ended up weaving throughout the design became one of my absolute favorites. That flower will forever remind me of my wedding day. But my favorite detail has to be the guest trees that held our seating place cards. They were probably the idea I was most excited about. I had this whimsical vision of a tree where guests could pick up their escort cards, shared through one inspiration photo and a lot of me rambling, and Jessica just got it. For the evening reception, she didn't just bring the idea to life, she elevated it into two breathtaking cascading trees that were accessible from every side. It was even more beautiful than anything I had imagined and truly felt like a centerpiece of the entire experience. Beyond the florals themselves, Jessica and her team were simply wonderful to work with. They were organized, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy and calm, which is no small feat during wedding planning. Walking into each event and seeing everything come together was one of the best parts of the weekend, and our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was. Jessica, you are unbelievably talented. Thank you for taking every "crazy" idea I had and turning it into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We're so grateful for the care, creativity, and heart you and your team poured into every detail.

Jessica is absolutely amazing! She helped us visualize and bring to life our perfect wedding…read more Jessica took my very vague suggestions about "jewel tones," and helped me determine what I actually wanted my wedding to look like. She sent over lots of pictures and ideas throughout the process to check in and make sure she was on the right track. She also helped us ensure that other design elements (table linens, dishes, wedding signs) would work with the flowers. The floral design was stunning. The installation on the mulberry tree was absolutely gorgeous. All of the bouquets, centerpieces, and flowers were true masterpieces. Jessica is incredible and Anemone is the best!!
