Receptions Banquet & Conference Center

This is a very convenient place to have an event- they basically have everything! This place offers different reception halls and offers an organizer or party planner. She will then offer or present you with different designs for your center pieces, food options, color scheme, lighting, number of staff to take care of all the behind the scenes, and other things that can make your party successful. We came here for my niece's wedding, and though simple, the event was well organized, plenty of space to accommodate all the guests and the festivities. I just don't like that you he place does not allow outside food, I totally understand that's more a health risk or issues, but it would be nice if we can bring food that's more traditional to our culture such as lumpia, pansit or adobo which were not in the menu. The cake is also decorated beautifully, but the taste and texture is not something to brag about. I hope The Receptions will have a taste test on their cake, and check what I'm talking about- maybe this is just an isolated incident, but you notice a lot of people left their cake uneaten after a few bites.

Northern Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management meets here monthly. It's perfect for our group. There are large rooms with round tables. They have projection screens and audio equipment.The meal was above average. They have very clean restrooms. If you need a large meeting space with good food - this is the place. They book up quick though - so you will want to reserve as soon as you know the dates you need.

I attended a luncheon event with a friend at Receptions Erlanger a few weeks ago. My friend had a special dietary request, separate from the luncheon buffet offered to the group, which the staff took care of right away.Receptions is good for a corporate evening party or a wedding reception, as I've attended a few events at another one of their locations, but I felt lighting was too dark for a luncheon meeting.

My first visit to Receptions was for a corporate Christmas party. The room had warm, inviting decor and holiday trimmings. The bar service was affordable and our dinner was buffet style: roast, chicken Parmesan, mashed potatoes, pasta, dinner rolls and salad. Everything was tasty, but the ranch dressing for the salad was amazing! Our group polished off a punch bowl-sized vat of dressing and the servers had to bring out a replacement bowl. Oh, and I think there was some cheesecake for dessert.My second visit was for a formal business presentation, much larger than the Christmas party. About 200 guests received their own plate for both appetizer and entree. I was sitting in the back, watching the servers. These folks are some speedy people! They swiftly had everyone fed and in time without disturbing the speakers. Our waitress was especially fantastic. My colleague needed a vegetarian meal, so the server went back to the chef and had him prepare a new dish: a huge Portobello mushroom sauteed in red wine with angel hair pasta. Every bite was devoured; I was envious of his dish!Both of my experiences at Receptions have been wonderful. The venue is corporately beautiful, the staff is professional, organized, and go the extra mile, and of course the food is delicious! I hope to attend another function here soon!

I enjoyed my time here for a friend's wedding. But I wouldn't recommend it for others. Here is my opinion;The good:-friendly staff -lots of different spaces to rent-a solid meal-presentable, professional facilities-affordable (I assume)-lots of parking The bad:-cookie-cutter receptions-sharing your 'special day' with hundreds of other people in the rooms next to you -location is in the middle of nowhere The ugly:-the rooms are sectioned off by removable walls...so the noise from the next room drifts in. We listened to the best man/maid of honor speeches while Lil Jon blared in from the room next-door-every time you go outside to use the restroom, you have to wade through dozens of guests from other parties...contact with other receptions in unavoidable -because you're in the middle of nowhere, your guests will have to take a very expensive cab/Uber back home. Also, if they drove to the reception hall from the church/synagogue/wherever the ceremony was (which is likely), they will leave their car here...so they'll have to drive BACK out to the middle of nowhere the next day. -I've mentioned it before, but the other receptions can be a nuisance in other ways. For example, the night we were here, a woman at another reception had too much to drink and had to be lifted and carried through the communal hall out to the front. The man carrying her had lost his shirt and was only wearing an undershirt. Overall:-I understand why you might opt to book this reception hall. It seems like it would be a nice but affordable option. And I don't have serious complaints from my night here. I've only seen the guest's viewpoint, not the client's. And I don't want to be overly-negative. We all had a great time. The food was good and the staff was wonderful. I just think there are some logistic issues you should be aware of if you decide to book your reception here.

I spent the majority of my 3 months of job training in the many conference rooms at Receptions in Erlanger. The rooms are standard - traditional, strange printed carpet and upholstery, large, well-lit, and well-ventilated. The provided lunch we had every day was actually spectacular; some of the best I've had at corporate trainings at similar halls elsewhere.Would I want to have a wedding at Receptions? Definitely not. Though we saw a few weddings being set up for after our training sessions, the thought of having a wedding reception ear-shot away from an airport, next-door to a lazer tag arena, and less than a quarter mile away from a number of manufacturing facilities (John Deere, for one), distribution centers (Frito Lay), and business parks (PepsiCo, Toyota, Wild Flavors, etc.) is so incredibly unappealing that it borderlines last-resort on my girlie dream-wedding radar.But, for a corporate event, Receptions is as good as it gets.

great foodstaff is always friendly and the place has a nice modern business feel.

I just went to a wedding there Friday and had the best time. It was beautiful there and our banquet server, Zakkery was awesome!

My wedding reception was at the Erlanger venue. I am very disappointed . While the hall was decorated as I requested, they screwed up my food and my cake cutting. The food was not out on time and taken up way too soon so my guests did not get to eat as much as they wanted. The cake top was not cut as I requested and I had to tell someone to do that. They also cut the cake and put it on a table outside the hall so no one, not even myself and my new husband, knew where it was! For what we paid and the promises made that we "were in good hands,"...we certainly were not. I cannot get this night back. Management felt that they did nothing wrong and that my concerns were unfounded. How very sad...Look elsewhere.

I have delayed writing my review for about a month to really think through how I felt about my experience. Leading up to the event, I worked with both Jodie and Shannon, and throughout the planning phases things were great and they were very accommodating. My experience the week of (after my final payment) was just okay. The reception room looked great and was set up as requested, and we got lots of compliments on the food. However, my slideshow did not play during cocktail hour as requested and when it did start, it was someone else's. Also, the moveable walls are so thin that I don't think anyone heard our toasts over the music next door. My main frustration though was with the ceremony room. I paid $500 to use it and it was not at all what I expected. I saw it set up for the first time just a couple of days before my wedding and had to redesign my decorations to accommodate the things that differed from the diagram I had been given. The chairs were wall to wall (with an aisle) and went all the way to the back, so my guests were squished in like sardines and there was no room for the flower arrangements that I purchased. Also, the wall was once again moveable, but it was not able to be centered with the aisle, so it looked like a mess (especially after the curtain was put up, which is on a PVC pipe structure that started to fall over after the first person went down the aisle, and caught my dress as I took my first steps). I also didn't like that they were pushing us out practically as our guests walked out of the ceremony (our pictures took less than 20 minutes because we did most ahead) and I couldn't go into the reception until the bridal suite was emptied. It was very obvious that it was all about the money at that point. I'm just glad we had an awesome wedding party and great guests who helped me to create wonderful memories despite all of that. I would not, however, hold my ceremony there if I could do it again.
