Schaumburg invented the convention-corridor event. We offer the opposite: one building, one client, zero badge-wearing strangers. An exclusive-use corporate venue minutes from the Meacham Road and I-90 offices, for 50 to 150 attendees. International Banquet, family-owned since 2008.
Schaumburg companies can book a hotel ballroom in their sleep — and their employees can tell, because they've attended forty events in the same three rooms. The offsite that lands is the one that leaves the corridor: a private hall where the CEO's remarks stay in the room, the parking is free, and nobody's competing with a trade show in the lobby. The full facility is on our venue minutes from Schaumburg page.
An awards night and a board dinner are engineered differently. Come December, the same coordination powers year-end company parties — booked by the same planners, months earlier than they expect.
Personal where the corridor hotels are procedural. Plated service, a quiet room, and conversation at conversation volume — the setting closes as hard as the pitch.
Honorees deserve a room reserved for them, not a ballroom between conferences. Podium sightlines, real applause acoustics, dinner worth the dress code.
Exclusive use is the security model: sensitive numbers, candid succession talk, and strategy stay inside four private walls. AV coordinated for the deck between courses.
Quarter closed or milestone shipped — buffet or family style, bar open, speeches capped at two. Professional enough for HR, loose enough that people stay past the hour.
From the Meacham Road towers or the offices along Golf Road, we're a 12–18 minute drive with free parking at the door — no garage, no validation stamps, no Loop commute killing attendance. Inside, the International Banquet team handles AV coordination, roster-wide dietary needs, and a run of show that respects working evenings. Family-owned since 2008: the person who quoted your event is the one running it.
Built for planners with a budget line and a day job.
Headcount, date, format — transparent per-person pricing in the same conversation, with nothing surfacing later on invoice three.
Menu, configuration, AV check, speaking order. Everything written down so procurement, your VP, and our kitchen read the same plan.
Room set, mics tested, staff briefed on your agenda. You host; the invoice arrives itemized the way finance wants it.
Per-person pricing that survives procurement. Minimums: $1,500 lunch (until 4 PM), $2,000 Sunday–Thursday evenings, $3,000 Friday & Saturday evenings, before tax and gratuity.
Working lunches, trainings, and midday recognition — individually served, on schedule, desks by two.
The corporate workhorse — variety across every diet on the roster, pacing that flexes around awards and speeches.
When the impression is the deliverable: plated courses, white-glove service, 3-hour open bar. $40 per person without bar.
POs, itemized invoices, documented quotes — corporate billing handled routinely, one contact from booking through reconciliation.
View Full MenuOur team has sat through a decade of events in the Meacham corridor hotels. Moving the awards dinner here — whole venue, our branding, no convention crowd — got us the best attendance and the best survey scores we've recorded.
Client dinner for a deal we'd chased two quarters. A private hall fifteen minutes from their hotel by Woodfield read as intentional in a way a chain steakhouse never does. We signed the following week.
Board dinner, sensitive agenda. The building was ours — that alone settled the venue question. AV worked on the first try and the invoice matched the quote line for line.
What office planners ask before the calendar invite goes out.
Yes — one event at a time, the entire building. No shared lobby, no other function's noise, and every staffer on duty is working yours.
Yes — microphones, projection, and sound coordinated with your gear or your AV vendor's, tested before doors open.
Routinely: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher-style, halal, and allergy accommodations inside one cohesive menu.
2–4 months for most corporate events; December dates go far earlier. Midweek short-notice events are sometimes possible — call and ask.
Luncheons $25, buffet $34, plated dinner $65 with 3-hour open bar ($40 without), per person, plus the standard minimums. Documented quotes and itemized invoices for procurement.
We're at 1863 W Central Rd in Arlington Heights, typically a 12–18 minute drive depending on where in Schaumburg you start — quickest from the northeast side near Golf Road and Route 53, a bit longer from Town Square or the far west side. Free parking waits at the door.
