  • Paul & Lisa, Our daughter's wedding on September 29, 2012 was everything she had hoped for and more, due in large part to the two of you and your outstanding support staff at the banquet center. Although planning a wedding can be stressful, you took so much of that away with your patience, understanding, and unparalled professionalism. Your facility is beautiful. If one didn't know any better, you would think you were in the heart of New York City. The food was delicous, and we continue to get feedback from family and friends pertaining to just how perfect everything was. On behalf of Julie, Brandon, Lorraine and myself, thank you again for eveything.Sincerely, David A. Sirianni
  • Lisa & Paul, We can't tell you how grateful we are to you and your staff for pulling off Sarah & Paul's reception despite the huge problems. The food was served on time, hot & delicious, & your staff stayed pleasant throughout. I've worked in the food industry & I know how hot & miserable commercial kitchens are in the best of circumstances! You guys are great!Ted & Linda Georgian The local area suffered a power outage on July 7, 2012. We had no power at our facility but were still able to fully serve 2 wedding receptions that day.
  • Paul & Lisa, We can't begin to thank you enough for everything you did to help make our wedding day the best! The reception was absolutely everything we imagined it to be and more! We have had so many compliments from our guests saying it was the best they have been to from the size and set-up of the room to the food staions, which is so different than what they are use to (they loved the mashed potato martinis, we still hear about it). You both have been a blessing to work with making it a bride's & groom's dream and being stress free to plan. The staff was also excellent with everything. Please extend our appreciation. We will be sure to recommend your services to anyone that needs a great spacious banquet hall. We thank you again.Chris & Britney Kwolek June 25, 2011

  • ''Dear Paul & Lisa, I wanted to give you a great testimonial for Steven's Bar Mitzvah. People have not stopped talking about it!! I have literally spent hours on the phone with people raving about the food, the atmosphere, the service,etc. My well-traveled family said that your place rivaled any "big city" banquet facility that they have been to. The food was great, and even that word seems so trivial when describing it. My only regret is that I only have 1 child, and may have to wait a while for another "life event" to occur, however, you can be sure that my first and only call for any party need will be to you. Thanks also for making this so easy & memorable. You guys are the best!! Sheila Jackson September 1, 2007

  • Dear Paul and Lisa,Thank you so much for a delightful and elegant evening at Premier Banquet Center.Everything ran very smoothly thanks to your expertise. Your wait staff was extremely efficient. I received many compliments on their demeanor and poise. It seemed to me that their primary goal was to make each of us satisfied and happy! The food, of course, was superb. I have a few very picky relatives and their comments at times can be critical. But they absolutely adored the filet! The previous evening's rehearsal dinner also received rave reviews. First, people were surprised at the setup and the variety of foods. I had mentioned that it would be a light dinner, very casual dinner. It was far more than that! Thank you for impressing all of our guests and giving such a warm welcome to New York!(We had guests from California, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island). Finally, I'd like to personally thank you for allowing us to "take over" your kitchen in order to prepare flowers and wedding cake. We definitely realized how hard that must have been for you and your staff. Frankly, I didn't know how much time and space we'd take up. You were a true gentleman and allowed us to proceed and I am totally indebted to you for that.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are wonderful, generous and very skilled professionals!Sincerely, Verna Birk August 23, 2006
  • What can I say! The job you did from beginning to end was spectacular! My phone was ringing off the wall the next day, guests were calling to say what a lovely reception, how timely it all went, how perfect it was. Great food, excellant service, your staff delightful! I am a perfectionist, but have learned there is no such thing outside my world. On June 3rd 2006 my world seemed a reality when I walked into my daughter's reception! Thank you a million times! Marcia Dennis

We arrived to find the facility ready to receive guests. Every detail was attended to. The food presentation was inviting. The service was fast and courteous. Many people, who had not been to the facility, commented in a positive manner. Thank you for reducing the stress associated with coordinating an event like this (your stress may have been great, but ours was minimized) and helping to make this an enjoyable evening for all who attended.
