Every restaurant on the Golf Road strip has a 'private room' — behind a curtain, beside the Friday rush. Ours is a private building. Exclusive-use event space minutes from Schaumburg for anniversaries, reunions, retirements, and gatherings of 50 to 150. International Banquet, family-owned since 2008.
Schaumburg's dining corridor does semi-private well: a partition, a shared bathroom line, the bar crowd bleeding through at nine. For the gatherings that matter — a 50th anniversary, a retirement after thirty years, the reunion that took two years to schedule — the room should belong entirely to the occasion. Here it does: one entrance, one event, one staff. The rest of the facility is on our full Schaumburg venue overview.
These gatherings share nothing but the need for real privacy and a real meal. Milestone birthdays get their own full treatment on our birthday celebrations page.
The couple at the center, the decades told out loud, the family that grew from them filling the tables. Slideshow projected, tissues advised.
Cousins from four time zones, long tables, no one stuck in a kitchen. The group photo happens because everyone's actually in one room.
Thirty years earns more than a conference-room sheet cake. Colleagues and family together, an open bar, and the stories HR never got to hear.
Communions, baptisms, confirmations — the meal after the ceremony, sized for the whole extended family and timed to the parish schedule.
Long tables for reunions, rounds with a head table for anniversaries, open cocktail floor for engagement parties — one accessible level, reshaped to the gathering. The International Banquet hall is a 12–18 minute drive from anywhere in Schaumburg with free parking at the door, which gets great-aunts from car to chair without a hike across a strip-mall lot.
The easiest events we host — one visit, one call, done.
Tell us the occasion and headcount; we show you the layout that fits. Come see it — the drive from Schaumburg is short.
Catering style, bar question, slideshow and music, any religious or cultural elements. One conversation usually closes it.
Arrive to a set room, leave a clean one. Between: the gathering you pictured, run by people who've staged a thousand.
Per-person catering with no room-rental fee. Minimums: $1,500 lunch (until 4 PM), $2,000 Sunday–Thursday evenings, $3,000 Friday & Saturday evenings, before tax and gratuity.
Post-ceremony lunches, afternoon reunions, daytime celebrations wrapping by four — the lightest entry to a fully private event.
Platters down the table — the format that makes a private hall feel like the family table it's standing in for.
Variety across generations and diets, with pacing loose enough for slideshows, mingling, and long goodbyes.
Formal private dinners — anniversaries and retirements especially — often take the plated service: $65/person with 3-hour open bar, $40 without.
View Full MenuMom and Dad's 50th, 90 guests. We'd tried booking a restaurant private room near Woodfield and the quote came with a noise disclaimer. Here the whole building was ours — the slideshow, the toasts, the quiet when Dad spoke.
Reunion for a family scattered across five states. Long tables, family style, four hours, zero dishes for anyone whose maiden name is on the banner. Rebooked before we left the parking lot.
My husband's retirement from the district after 31 years. Colleagues, former students, family — 100 people, open bar, and a staff that kept everything moving while nobody wanted the night to end.
What hosts ask before reserving the room.
Yes — the entire building, not a curtained corner. One event at a time, one entrance, staff working only your gathering.
Anniversaries, reunions, retirements, engagement parties, communions and baptisms — any gathering that outgrew a house or a restaurant's semi-private room.
Most private parties run 50 to 150 guests; the layout compresses gracefully so smaller gatherings feel held, not lost.
Yes — projection, microphones, and sound coordinated and tested before guests arrive.
Luncheons $25, family style $29, buffet $34, plated dinner $65 with 3-hour open bar ($40 without), per person, plus the standard minimums.
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.
