THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH for helping us plan the celebration birthday party for our mother's 90th birthday yesterday! She was thrilled with everything! as were we!....The venue was perfect and the food and service was excellent. Megan did such a wonderful job and so attentive to each guest. The gentleman performing last night was such a sweet guy. So good at directing our party to the correct floor and singing to our mom was such a sweet touch. The gentlemen who performed at the show in the theater were in the bar after their show and on our way out....one gentleman sang her a personal Happy Birthday song! She was thrilled! Ron and all of the staff have such a warm and welcoming venue....you make all feel like family!

Thank you all for helping me surprise my hubs (despite the unfortunate decline of guest #s) on Saturday. Everyone had a blast, the venue was perfect, people raved about the food, sound was perfect for the musician and we all felt very accommodated and taken care of the entire evening. Thanks for answering all my questions, flexibility in last minute changes, and the marquee people loved seeing when they arrived. Super cool. Thank you and hope we can have another event with you all in the future- Thanks soooooo much!!!

I just wanted to let you both know that Tina was completely surprised with the party we threw for her on Saturday 6/29. She’s still talking about it! With all of the things happening with my mom and family, I think this is just what we needed to lift our spirits. All of our friends and family raved about the food (and rightly so- it was delicious!) and you were right- the all-in-one appetizer was an absolute crowd pleaser! The cake from Chicago Pastry was phenomenal and decor from Vanessa at Confetti Wishes was gorgeous- both places I wouldn’t have even known could help me had it not been for your suggestions. Rochelle, Jacob, Dom and all the people working behind the scenes made her night flawless, even better than I envisioned. Rochelle was with me every step of the night to support me as you promised- like an angel in the background but there when I needed her. She has impeccable timing. Dom was so good to us! He made it easy to become a fast friend with his welcoming personality and had amazing drink knowledge for some of the more seasoned palates. Jacob was wonderful! His calm and sweet demeanor when helping me with various things put me instantly at ease in a fun but high stress environment for me. My mom decided not to come at the last minute. I think she was worried her injuries would detract from my sister’s limelight (they wouldn’t but it was her decision) and Rochelle packed a beautiful care package to make sure she got to experience the tastes of the party. She was so thrilled when I brought them to her. What may seem like a small touch to some is extremely meaningful to us and something we won’t forget. If you could please extend our thanks to everyone who made this party a success and also for you both for getting things started and reassuring me every step of the way. Party planning isn’t easy but you made the process so smooth, I couldn’t be happier with how it all came out. Please let me know if I can leave a review somewhere and I am happy to.

“We had a great time in the Harlow room, dinner was great, Ron came in to introduce himself and we got to talk to him for 10 mins. But the highlight of the night was Jackson, our server. He made the night, and we will be talking about him for years to come. His quick wit and just plain entertainment was awesome, plus he was an excellent waiter. I know he has only been with you guys since Jan, but what a diamond you have there.”

Best Birthday Ever!!
Can’t begin to tell you how great the party was on Saturday night. It was a first time visit by most of my guests and they were all amazed by Club Arcada They loved the concept and commented on the decor throughout the Club I’m sure many will make return visits The food, as always, was excellent and our server, Joel was the best. He made sure all guests had their beverage of choice throughout the night. And you were so right about Bobby C and the C notes. A totally awesome band who definitely helped make the night a great success. And having Ron take time to stop by made the evening even better Looking forward to another year of great shows at The Arcada and many excellent meals at Club Arcada. Thank you once again, Gabrielle, for making my birthday party a memorable event

An Incredible Event
While planning our company’s 2019 National Sales Meeting, my boss asked me where we should hold our banquet. I quickly responded we should hold the banquet at the Club Arcada, followed by a concert in the Theatre. Working with Gabrielle, we had our national sales staff in the Club for dinner (you sliced the prime rib for everyone), followed by a concert by Voyager and Kashmir. Our employees are still saying how incredible that event was.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work to make our Christmas Party so memorable! You did an amazing job communicating all of the details, and your service was IMPECCABLE!!

The staff is fabulous! We started our event with a get together in the VIP Lounge. On Thursday morning our business meeting was held in the lower level of the Arcada Theater . We moved to the Club Arcada for lunch , and then finished the meeting in the afternoon in the theater. We then had a cocktail party in the VIP Lounge followed by a prime rib dinner - which our group loved - with live music and dancing. As you can see , we had many different parts to our event which required a lot of planning and coordination. From start to finish, each part was “first class“ and all attendees were impressed. Ron Onesti made an appearance in the evening and gave a brief talk which was well received. Our group loves Ron and his presence was the “icing on the cake" for a memorable event. I would strongly recommend working with Ron, Gabby and the Onesti team as they are very good at organizing events with a shared vision of the attendees having a positive experience. They truly made me look good as many of the attendees realized all the hard work that goes into events like ours . Once again they were impressed with how everything , from start to finish , went so well . My sincere thanks to Ron, Gabby and the entire staff. We will definitely will be back for next year’s event .
