Diplomat West Banquet Halls

I was here for an Indian wedding, and immediately became a fan of the interior decorations. I’m sure it had to do more with the bride/groom’s decorating directions but the place looked really nice with the right color schemes and stage/​flowers/​music and all the typical Indian decked out settings. For the reception it was turned into a round table type of setting and that also worked well with the theme. I was able to view everything even from a far back view and I was a fan of the wedding :)

It’s a normal banquet hall, nothing too spectacular. I was recently here for a political event which great until the room next door started blaring their music super loud. I can’t believe that the management didn’t intervene. Besides the poor management the lighting wasn’t all that great either. Otherwise was a few chandeliers here and if you chandeliers there, doesn’t make for a bright and happy environment. There is on the plus side a fully stocked bar in each room I assume, ours did. Finally the parking lot is big, but not big enough to cater a wedding since it shares its parking lot with many other businesses.

I chaperoned a ‘Nite Club At Noon’ event here today.
The venue is fine. Great parking lot as our 30 passenger bus was able to pull up quite close to the building to let guests out.
Rooms are pretty dated… carpeted floors, mirrored walls. Definitely not my style, but we had no major issues here.
Ladies restroom was clean.
Food was average, too. I believe they have an in-​house chef, but I could be mistaken.

Attended a fundraiser there tonight, good was good, could have been a little warmer, service was great. Nice room for this dinner dance, easy parking, good location, overall a nice place for dinner dances, even weddings

Diplomat is not really where I’d plan a wedding, but for a corporate luncheon or business meeting, it’s a-​ok. The food is better than typical banquet food, but far from stellar. It’s kind of like a low-​rent version of the type of food you can order at a diner. The décor is very wood-​panelly, mirrored and starting to look a little dated. But it’s kept up well. Staff is pleasant and professional, but they could really work on cleaning/​updating the bathrooms a bit, and when you walk into the building you’re hit by cigarette smoke. I think it permeates from the office.
Again, it’s not a place I’d show off to my friends and family, but for colleagues and peers it’s fine. You expect different types of service for different kinds of occasions. Just keep that in mind when checking them out.

Tom is an absolute pleasure to work with and will bend over backwards to exceed your expectations. My wife and I were so satisfied with the service provided, that we tried to give Tom additional money after our wedding reception, but Tom refused to accept it. I think it speaks volumes to his character. The coffee at Diplomat West isn’t your average cup, it’s amazing. The appetizers, dinner and dessert were great. Tom was able to handle the majority of the aspects of the wedding reception himself, which meant we mainly dealt with him, instead of dealing with multiple different vendors. I would gladly do business with him again.

Love the diplomat west!!! Being a city person, I was weary about attending a wedding in the burbs but this place really impressed me. The Diplomat is great for a large family celebration with a great space, sophisticated décor, and accommodating staff. Room to dance and party! Had an awesome time here!

a good place to celebrate.

This is my first review of 2012, so I will do my best to be nice, yet objective. This place was OK, but a little sad. It needs major renovation as it is stuck in the 80’s. The staff was nice and try their best (one star is because of how nice they were), so we had a good time regardless. As far as the restrooms go, they were spotless, so I was glad to see that the comments of the first reviewer were taken seriously.

Have you every been to a banquet hall? I didn’t know there was such a thing as a stand-​alone, rent-​able party room with mirrored walls and a PA that also serves food from a local hospital cafeteria, and where no one ever, ever cleans the bathrooms! It’s really something.
The servers here were incredibly accommodating. 2 stars for them.
