We didn't tour any other place. We found this venue on The Knot and based on everyone's reviews, the reasonable prices, and the fancy pictures, my partner and I gave this place a shot. From start to finish, George always had our back. He made sure everything we wanted was in place, he followed up with us when we needed, and he was readily available when we had questions. He puts everything down on paper to make sure we were all on the same page. As long as you communicate to George what you want and you give him the details he needs, he will guarantee you a beautiful wedding. Literally everything I imagined it to be. And don't even get me started on the food! So delicious and there's plenty of it! Our guests loved our reception and some were wishing for another wedding to happen in our families! George and his staff are top tier and the Cotillion is a beautiful venue. Highly recommend The Cotillion for your wedding or for any event!

Well designed venue. Perfect for weddings or corporate events.

Food was terrible, service was beyond poor. No one spoke English. The servers took away coffee cups before desert was done. Very rude workers.

My school (New Connections Academy) does a lunch during the holidays for all students and their families to attend and every time we are there the food is amazing. The scenery is also beautiful I loved the chandelier on the lobby roof. I thank the cotillion for the amazing experience each year.

Cotillion is a hidden gem!!! From the moment we stepped into Cotillion, we were welcomed and embraced like old friends by George. He radiates genuine warmth and kindness and it's easy to see how passionate he is about the events he prepares. He walked us through every step of the venue and process of the wedding night. We were so excited to book Cotillion, and things only got better from there. George is very easy to communicate with. He listens and understands the vision and executes to perfection. He made planning a piece of cake, as well as recommending excellent vendors. Walking into our room on the night of our wedding is a moment we will never forget. It was a dream. Our guests raved about the food, from the hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner, to the sweet table. Everything was served hot, and all the tables received their food at the same time. Their service is beyond exceptional. George runs things so punctually and so smoothly behind the scenes, you wouldn't even know he was there. We want to give George, Tom, and the rest of their team a huge thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding better than we ever could have dreamed. Best decision we made, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. -Eleni and Paul

We had exceptional experiences in celebrating both of our daughters' quinceañeras at The Cotillion in Palatine. Our youngest daughter's celebration was in late summer, and our oldest daughter's was the previous summer. Choosing The Cotillion for both events was truly the best decision we made. From our initial visit until the departure of our final guests, the service and atmosphere for both events were outstanding. The success of these celebrations is largely thanks to the phenomenal dedication of Cotillion's team. Especially George, who has become like family to us. From our very first planning meeting, he was attentive, organized, and incredibly reassuring. George is a man of his word; he delivered everything he promised and more. Our guests consistently complimented the excellent food, noting how tasty and well-prepared everything was. The hall itself is beautiful, with its grand chandeliers and elegant atmosphere providing a perfect backdrop for memorable photos. Overall, George, Tom, and the entire Cotillion team were superb and ensured both of our events were wonderful. For anyone seeking a venue with great service, fair prices, and a team that genuinely cares, we highly recommend The Cotillion.

I don’t know where to start with how happy we are but my husband and I just got married this past weekend. George, Tom, and all the servers managed our wedding so well even with extra guests showing up. They kept everything so organized for us and made sure every single guest was fed. We could shout from the rooftops how much we love Cotillion. I can’t recommend this banquet enough. We truly had our dream wedding thanks to the Cotillion team!

The Cotillion Banquets was definitely the perfect fit for my daughters dream Quinceañera. George was absolutely amazing in helping us plan the quinceañera! From the very beginning, he listened to all my daughter's ideas and visions, he really understood what we wanted.
He was so organized and on top of everything, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. George handled all the little details perfectly and put the effort to plan appointments and tastings that correlated with both me and my family’s busy schedules. He really made the whole process smooth and stress free.
Thanks to George, the quinceañera was everything my daughter and I had ever imagined and more! I'm so grateful for his hard work, dedication, and expertise. If you're looking for a venue I can confidently recommend Cotillion banquets.

We had our daughter's 15 anos party here, and it was great. The hall was beautiful and all the workers did a great job. From servers to bartender everyone did a great job. It was a great experience.

I can’t say enough great things about this venue and George! The planning process was so smooth and easy. The food was phenomenal. The staff were superb. It really felt like my uncle was the one who owned the place. George is so welcoming and accommodating. My fiancé was skeptical of all George’s promises and thought he was a fast talker. But he’s the first to admit he was wrong and George truly is amazing! All our wedding dream came true and we George and the staff at the cotillion to thank for that! From the bottom of our hearts….THANK YOU GEORGE!!! 💙🤍❄️

Exceptional Experience at The Cotillion!
We recently celebrated my husband's birthday at The Cotillion, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. George treated us like family and went above and beyond to ensure our event was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for better service.
The venue itself is immaculate, with a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. The food was simply delicious, and they were incredibly accommodating in meeting all of our guests' dietary restrictions. The staff was outstanding—friendly, professional, and always attentive to our needs.
We highly recommend The Cotillion for any special occasion and will definitely be returning for our next event. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!

We recently hosted our wedding at Cotillion Banquet Hall, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, George was an incredible help—his patience, support, and dedication throughout the planning process made everything so much easier.
George truly went above and beyond, especially when we faced a last-minute challenge with our original caterer increasing their prices. He stepped in and accommodated us with an amazing catering option that fit perfectly within our budget. Despite most of our guests being African, the food was absolutely delicious—every single dish was well-prepared and enjoyed by all.
The event space itself was stunning, and the organization, workflow, and final presentation exceeded our expectations. George’s staff was incredibly professional and kind, ensuring that our special day went smoothly.
George is truly a great host, and we have no doubt that anyone who chooses Cotillion Banquet Hall under his management will have an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this venue! # ISLOVESTORY
