We hosted my daughter's baby shower here and it was absolutely perfect. The room was beautiful, the food was incredible, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Every guest complimented the venue.
I planned a surprise baby shower for my sister here and the staff was so helpful throughout the whole process. The food was amazing and the space felt intimate and special. She was in tears — the good kind!
We had 85 guests and it was flawless. The buffet was generous, the staff was attentive, and the room looked gorgeous. I've already recommended International Banquet to two other expecting moms in my family.
