Pell   Bell Wedding

Memorial Day in the West Chicago suburbs is a time to celebrate community and togetherness. This year at Abbington Banquets in Glen Ellyn, we transformed nine unique celebrations into unforgettable memories for more than 2,500 guests. From elegant weddings and milestone anniversaries to lively family reunions and corporate celebrations, our wedding venues and corporate event spaces pulsed with energy and joy.

Nine Events, One Mission: Perfection for Every Guest

Our 20,000‑square‑foot banquet halls and 15,000‑square‑foot ballroom gave us the flexibility to host everything from intimate gatherings to grand affairs. Throughout the weekend, our team ensured that every detail—from floral arrangements to the last slice of cake—was delivered with signature Abbington care. If you’re planning your own event in Downers Grove or Naperville, discover the versatility of our spaces on our versatile venue page.

A successful weekend requires an incredible team. Guided by Executive Vice President Mike Fabbri and Executive Chef Nick Landeweer, our experienced staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to orchestrate flawless service and delectable cuisine.
