Lize and her team are amazing! Their support and coordination made our wedding day seamless! The venue is beautiful and several guests have said it's the best wedding food they've ...
ever had. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding!
We just had event there, for starters, Kathy Jones did a more than excellent job helping us with our menu and starting times and how to decorate the tables.
Our employees showed up...
late to the appetizers and dinner, so Laura backed up everything and made it all good, warm, not over cooked and our meals were excellent. The service was excellent. I would recommend this venue for everything, your in good hands with Kathy and Laura, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We loved having our fall wedding at the Italian American Banquet & Conference Center! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was not easy, but Fabiola helped us so much along the w...
ay. She provided great advice and guidance! The entire IABC staff was so great to work with! We received so many compliments on our venue and food! Beautiful renovations and the bridal suite was so beautiful! We have recommended IABC to our friends and family, such a great place for a wedding! Also the colors of the trees in the fall were so pretty! ❤️
My fiancé and I had our engagement party at the Italian American Banquet Center a couple weeks ago. During a normally stressful time, everyone at the Banquet Center made it extreme...
ly comfortable and took away all the stress. They put our minds at ease, especially Kathy, Laura and the head chef. Kathy made this process smooth and would always communicate during the planning. She would always answer our questions promptly, was (and is) such a kind person and was an absolute joy to work with! Laura was the coordinator on the actual day. Her and all the staff made everyone so comfortable at the event, they were extremely kind to all the guests, and my fiancé and I. Laura made sure everything ran smoothly on our day, from the music being played, to making sure every table was set up properly, and always asking us if there is anything else we would like to have done. All our guests loved the food! and were still raving about it even afterwards! It was such a blessing to have it at this Center, we cannot wait to host another event here! Thank you so much Kathy, Laura, and all the staff at Italian American Banquet Center! We can’t wait to be back!
An absolutely beautiful experience! As a wedding planner, I work in many venues, and this is definitely one of my favorites! Special thanks to Laura for her outstanding customer se...

Day! Mirrors and lighting were just right for the hair and makeup applications! 🥂
They have done an amazing job on taking care of all my needs during the process of getting our wedding just right! From the menu (which was so delicious, I heard many compliments on the taste and temperature…perfect!!) to setting up the Di Vinci Room! The bartender did an awesome job keep up with the drinks! Everyone that I talked to was having a great time!
Kathy, thank you so much for doing all that you do!! ❤️
Had our daughters wedding here in September. Staff service was impeccable and the food was delicious!
Would definitely recommend

o everyone. They have amazing food and the staff runs and functions so amazingly. They were on top of everything from start to finish. As the mother of the bride, Thank You for making the experience such a wonderful one.
We always loved going to the Italian American Club, my family being lifetime members. The food is always tasty and everyone loves good Italian food! Fabiola did a wonderful job pla...
nning for the big day, however, there seemed to be a lack of communication between her and the staff. We had ordered an extra hour for our reception and the staff was unaware; rushing us out at 9pm when we had it scheduled to be over at 10pm. The newly remodeled banquet hall is beautiful but the window blinds do not work to help keep the sun out. It was a 90 degree day outside and inside felt like it was 80 degrees. We asked many times to lower the temperature of the AC but we were told it doesn’t go past 69. I wish I was more comfortable in there, even with only 85 people the heat was a bit unbearable. No one wants to hug a sweaty bride & I was definitely dripping the whole time. Luckily, they said they will refund for the time not used, so there’s that. For any bride wanting a spring/summer wedding: definitely make sure their AC can accommodate such a large space or at least have window coverings to keep the extra heat from the sun out!
As my fiancé and I began looking for a wedding venue, upon visiting IABC we were pretty much sold on the venue. The Grand Ballroom was exactly the type of venue we were looking for...
to accommodate the size of our wedding as well as capture the ambiance we were looking for. Upon our initial meeting with Vicki, who was incredibly sweet and informative, we were happy to learn the venue could not only cater to our needs but was also budget friendly compared to other venues we looked at! Also, as someone who LOVES to dance, this is the best dance floor at a reception I’ve ever seen!! I can’t imagine our wedding reception taking place anywhere else as everything came together so perfectly that day. Fabiola, the general manager, worked personally with us on many details of our wedding. She not only exceeded our expectations for the reception but held us by the hand through the final details so as to alieve some of our worries about last minute details. The day of our wedding and in the weeks following, we heard from many of our guests that our wedding was one of the best they’ve ever attended. We know this wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible help from the Italian American Banquet Center staff and the venue which helped make it all possible!
Our wedding took place in September 2019, and we enjoyed our experience working with the IABC. Fabiola and Vicky guided us through the planning process for our 300+ person wedding ...
and helped make sure we didn’t overlook any important details. Fabiola was extremely helpful in particular, especially when she tried to help us resolve an oversight on our end that would’ve cost us a ton of money to resolve, and was also there the night of our reception to make sure everything flowed and that food was served hot and on time. Speaking of food, we received a ton of compliments on the food following reception (my husband and I are especially kicking ourselves for not being able to not finish our food that night. 😊) Would recommend booking for your next wedding or event!
If I could give this venue 10 stars I would! They were my safe haven when it came to planning my wedding. I can’t tell you how many times I emailed, called or stopped in with quest...
ions, concerns or changes and they accommodated every single one of them with a smile on their face. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is AMAZING. Everyone commented on how great the food was and they wanted more of it. Fabiola and Vicki were so much fun to work with and were always there when I needed them to be, which for a bride is the best thing to have. Thank you IABC!
We had our reception at IABC and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful -- we love the big windows in the ballroom, lighting around the room, and the grounds were perfec...
t nice for our sunset pictures. Vicky and Fabiola were outstanding throughout the entire process. I don’t think it ever took more than a day to get a response to an email, and they were totally flexible and so helpful. Pricing was transparent and surprisingly affordable. It was one of the least expensive venues we looked at in our search, but it was also our favorite. We’re really happy that we decided to have our reception here and would recommend it to anyone else!
From the second we booked with this venue, Fabiola and Vicky were amazing! With wedding planning so much changes at the last minute and they were always accommodating and made the ...
planning process so simple and easy. The food was delicious as was the service. We had the best day ever and IABC helped make our wedding dream a reality!

ing my emails and many questions very quickly and were always so nice and accommodating! The grande ballroom was absolutely gorgeous and the food was amazing! We have received so so so many compliments on how wonderful everything was! I wouldn’t have changed a thing! The IABC helped to make our wedding day the best day ever and one we will talk about for years to come! :)
We would highly recommend IABC! They were so professional and made sure the day ran smoothly. They were very accommodating, helpful, friendly, and readily available. It was so nice...
to know that they had everything under control and were being attentive to all of the details. The food was amazing too! We are still talking about how great the salmon was. We’re so glad we chose IABC!
I cannot describe how awesome IABC was for hosting our wedding reception. From the beginning they were on point for staying in communication and helping us out with any of our need...
s. My husband and I live in Georgia, so trying to plan from out of state was difficult, but the ladies at IABC went above and beyond to make sure we had everything needed for a magical evening. The venue was clean and beautiful. They're easy to work with other vendors coming in. Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end with staff. The food was phenomenal! I had so many compliments on the food and how terrific it was compared to "typical banquet food". I also had a ton of compliments on the venue itself. I highly recommend IABC for any banquet needs, not just weddings!

The staff was really nice and helpful. throughout the entire planning process they were very professional. we were living on the opposite side of the state while planning the wedding and they were always so helpful when i would call with questions and arrangements. I only wish our reception could have lasted even longer since everything was so beautiful!
From start to finish our experience with The Italian American Banquet Center was amazing. Linda and Fabiola add a personal touch, assist in making the evening unique and seamless,...

ths before the wedding or the week of! The food provided was delicious! We picked out 3 different plated meals for our guests to choose from, and everyone LOVED them! The Staff was also outstanding the night of the wedding. They called our guests by their names, and were always at their service if they needed anything! We are so glad that we chose the Italian American Banquet Center for our wedding reception.
We had our wedding at the Italian American Banquet Center and it was THE most perfect day. Our wedding went off without a hitch. We booked Italian American over a year out from our...
big day and Fabiola and Linda were always more than happy to answer our questions or to accommodate us "popping in" to ask questions, chat, or see the venue set up for weddings. This place is the best value for your money and the room is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding decor. My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of town, and they even held a private food tasting for us because we couldn't make it in for the annual tasting. The night of everything went on perfectly, the food was amazing and the service was incredible. We couldn't have been happier with what we received with Italian American and would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
Linda at the IAC was so helpful and informative with my wedding planning needs. The food is the BEST!!! I had both my shower and wedding reception there; and my family raved about...

All of my guest loved the food and services that was provide the day of the wedding. The places was set up just the way I wanted for my special day.
You were amazing very helpful.
We used Italian American Club because they had the spacing requirements that we needed, a wedding of over 300 guests. We also reserved at a time when we received Friday night pric...
ing for a Saturday wedding, so it was much more affordable than other venues we had looked at. The quality of service we received was great, and the food was delicious. I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a venue that holds a large amount of guests - and a large dance floor!
We got married a few weeks ago and I had both my shower and wedding at the IABC. The place is beautiful, the staff is amazing and the food is the best of all. I worked at the hall ...
for about 5 years and fell in love. This is the 4th wedding my family has had there, and I am standing up in a wedding there in June and I cannot wait to go back! Their prices are very reasonable, at first we thought it was out of our budget (based on the $$$ rating here) but that is not true. Go in and have a meeting and you will learn that they offer great prices for what they provide. The IABC is the best place to have any type of celebration, you will not be disappointed!
IABC is a great place to hold a wedding. The food is amazing -- we received SO many compliments on our dinner and the prices were affordable. Fabiola and Linda are so friendly and ...
helpful - they made everything the best of the best and worked with me every step of the way. Also had my shower here and it was fabulous as well. I couldnt have asked for a better venue/service and would highly recommend Italian American Club.
We LOVED having our reception at IABC. The event staff are wonderful to work with and very accomodating. The wedding was a few weeks ago now and we are still hearing from friends...
and family about how delicious the food was! We used the clubhouse level - downstairs - which fit our personalities perfectly. It has a huge bar and a walkout patio to use if the weather is nice.
We have eaten at IAC numerous times over the last several years so it was a no brainer for us where we wanted to have our reception. The staff is friedly and very accomodating. T...
he food is phenomenal--every time. It was a perfect fit all around for us. I would not hesitate to recommend them for ANY event--you won't be sorry if you book IAC!!
We had to book our date 13 months in advance to get this location. They have great food and have great prices so they book fast. The venue was just perfect and the food tasted amaz...
ing. However it took them over 2 hours to serve family style dinner to 200 people. That was my only disappointment, but other than that everything was just great!
We had our wedding reception at the Italian American Club in Livonia, MI and could not be more satisfied. The Italian Ameican Club are pros at weddings and have everything down to ...
a science. The reception hall is beautiful inside and out, the food was delicious and the staff timed everything perfectly. We worked primarily with Linda who truly did everything in her power to accomodate our requests and ensure we were happy with the experience. From beginning to end, Linda will take good care of you. My only one little complaint is that they wouldn't put our votives out on the tables for us and stated it would be a $300 charge if we needed them to. It ended up working out that they didn't have another party on the Friday before the wedding and my bridesmaids and I set them up quickly. It's just one of those small things that would have been nice if they could have taken care of it for us. Other than that though, perfect! Do not hesitate to book your wedding at the Italian American Club. Also, I have started getting some pictures from our reception back and the inside of the grand ballroom photographs beautifully! The windows make that room. Gorgeous!! Thank you to Linda, Fabiola and everyone at the Italian American Banquet Center!
Linda was wonderful to deal with!! The venue is stunning and the service is absolutely top notch!! My guests continue to comment on the delicious food and the wonderful service. I...

The staff was helpful and friendly. The food was great and we recieved many compliments.

d. The dance floor is huge! You also get to try out the food at a very fun and free tasting night.

e room and the large marble dance floor.
They were able to cater to any of my needs as well as my family and friends.
THE FOOD. The food was absolutely amazing it is mostly family style there and they have so much to choose from. Everyone talked about how great the food was after the wedding. ...
The hall is beautiful and has beautiful windows on both sides of the hall which make for a great scene during the cocktail hour and at night. The dance floor is all marble and makes the hall look so fancy and elegant. The hall also does some of their own decorating which helps with the atmosphere. They have trees around the hall with lights on them and other plants around the hall as well. No matter what the occasion this place is very beautiful and very elegant looking. I loved it there and highly recommend it!;The only thing I can warn about is the hall books up fast. So if you are interested book early!
I really enjoyed the Ilatian American Club because the location was great the food was delicious and the ambience of the facilty was very nice.;The staff at the IAC is very knowle...
dgable however it is a struggle to get a hold of them or get them to return your call. I feel as though they are so experienced and take for granted that this is the first wedding you have planned and may need more information and details explained to you. Be prepared to ask a lot of questions in order to get the information you need/want.
GORGEOUS interior extremely accommodating staff AMAZING price (plated dinner price per head included a 6 hour standard bar) delicious food
The food was AMAZING! Everyone is still talking about it. The hall was beautiful, the room was large, 2 bars and a large dancefloor. The service was great.
