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!

An unforgettable experience

We had our wedding reception at The Cotillion, and it was truly the most amazing night of our lives. From the moment we began planning, George and Tom made us feel like their top priority, taking care of every single detail to ensure our special day was perfect. George was an incredible guide throughout the entire process—he helped us plan every aspect of the evening and walked us through each step with care and precision. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for making our vision come to life were unmatched. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The elegant decor, spacious layout, and beautifully lit ambiance created the perfect setting for our celebration. The Cotillion had everything we could have ever wanted for our reception and more. And the food was nothing short of phenomenal! We had the filet mignon, chicken athena, and salmon options. We are still receiving compliments from our guests, who couldn’t stop raving about how delicious and high-quality everything was. The cuisine here is truly Grade A, and it added so much to the overall experience.

What made the experience even more special was the warmth and kindness of the entire Cotillion team, especially George. Not only did we have the most amazing night at this perfect venue, but we also feel like we’ve become a part of The Cotillion family. George has been such a blessing to us—not only during the wedding planning process but even after. He arranged for us to stay at his family’s beachfront hotel on the beautiful island of Skiathos, Greece, for our honeymoon! We enjoyed a week-long getaway on a pristine island, complete with breathtaking beaches, mouthwatering food, and the warmest hospitality we could have ever dreamed of. It was truly the trip of a lifetime and the perfect way to begin our married life together.

We cannot thank The Cotillion staff—and especially George—enough for making our wedding day and beyond so extraordinary. It was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that delivers not just excellence but unforgettable experiences, The Cotillion is the place. 10/10 recommend!

Very elegant and good service.

New Year's party, at pretty much $170 per person. Well. I highly do not recommend attending. Where do I start? Food. For appetizers the servers were circling with swedish meat balls, chicken on a skewer and puff pastry with cheese. Not very glamorous.... On the table itself there was a plate with a few kinds of cold cuts. These were ok. Let's move to the "steak" dinner.... Served cold and.... The steak was well done!!!!! A shoe letter. Great chew! Oh. The "salad" was a bunch of wilted leafs and one tomato wedge and a cucumber slice..... For dessert, a little bowl of ice cream. Alcohol. Well. There was a bar..... $8 to $10 per drink!!!! Are you serious?????? There was a cheap red and white wine on the table. We had to search for someone to bother to give us a new bottle. Ok. Btw. Dinner was served at nearly 10pm. Entertainment... Music and dancing didn't start until nearly 11pm. And that was nothing special either. I, again, highly do not recommend. Waste of money. Thank God for fun company 😁

Had our wedding here in 2007 and the quality hasn't changed. Great location, plenty of parking. The owners were fantastic from my memory

As a self-proclaimed Type-A groom, I had extremely high expectations for our wedding reception, and Tom, George, and the entire team at Cotillion Banquets absolutely nailed it. From the first meeting to the very last dance, they executed everything with incredible attention to detail, professionalism, and care.
The venue itself was stunning – from the elegant chandeliers to the beautifully set tables. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and they made sure that our vision was brought to life flawlessly. Tom’s experience and calm demeanor made the planning process seamless, and George, our day-of coordinator, ensured everything ran like clockwork. Even when I was hovering over the details and asking for last-minute adjustments, they handled it all with patience and precision.
Let’s talk about the food – because wow. We had chicken, steak, and salmon, and every dish was cooked to perfection. Our guests kept raving about how flavorful and tender everything was. The appetizers were spot on, the mocktails were refreshingly creative, and the desserts were an absolute hit (just look at the photos!). The entire menu was a crowd-pleaser, and the presentation was top-notch.
The service was impeccable. The staff was prompt, courteous, and always one step ahead. Plates were cleared smoothly, drinks were refilled before anyone could even ask, and the overall flow of the evening was flawless. I was amazed at how they managed to keep everything running perfectly in sync.
We were so impressed that we’ve already booked Cotillion Banquets for another family event. That’s how confident we are in Tom, George, and their entire team. If you want a banquet hall that delivers on its promises, goes above and beyond, and makes sure your big day is everything you imagined (even if you’re a little overbearing like me), Cotillion Banquets is the place to go.
Thank you, Tom, George, and the entire team, for making our wedding an unforgettable experience!
