What a horrible experience I had on such a significant day. My wedding day should have been a joyful celebration, but it was disheartening to see it fall short in so many areas. During my ceremony there were only 75 chairs set up. This is quite concerning--seeing as though my final guest count was 140, while my guests were being seated staff was moving extra chairs into Salon B having only 75 chairs when I paid for more it was not just an inconvenience; it was a major oversight that led to embarrassment for both me and my guests. Secondly it was so Hot in Ceremony B during my ceremony and to my surprise, I heard the air kick on in the room once my ceremony had ended. I personally asked Pamela to ensure that the air was on at my rehearsal, which she did not but she advised that she would do so, and not to worry. It's frustrating to that despite my proactive communication with Pamela, the air conditioning was not addressed until after the ceremony. The comfort of my guests and well as myself, I feel is key during such an important event, and it's disappointing that this was overlooked. July 3rd was my wedding rehearsal and upon arriving to the venue Pamela did not communicate prior that there was another ceremony being set up, while my wedding party all arrived we were all left in the foyer looking puzzled, once order was established we were redirected to another room that was unprepared for our arrival, the lights were off and there was tables and chairs in the middle of the floor which the men in my party had to move. The room itself was uncomfortable due the humidity and breathtaking heat. With that being said I asked Pamela to ensure that the heat was turned on prior to my ceremony due to the number of guests I had arriving and also the weight of my wedding gown. Lastly I ordered and paid for filet mignon for all of my guests; I purposely emailed Pamela asking to go over my menu just days before my wedding to make sure my menu was correct once again. (I have copies of the email printed). Then out comes beef roast!! I was once again disappointed on what is supposed to be my special day! I ultimately felt let down when the menu I confirmed was not what was served. The filet mignon was a special request and not receiving it without prior notice is unacceptable. Communication is vital in these situations and there wasn't any. Not to mention that my champagne toast was skipped, and at the end of the night a bill came for "33" extra people and come to find out only 14 were extra. Please do not patronize this company, they are not for the consumer and will make you promises just to get your money and they will ruin your wedding day. I will be contacting higher ups on this one because it's unacceptable. I called the Mirage on July 9th at 10:26 am and spoke with Pamela requesting to speak with the owner. Pamela ensure me that once the owner Moe was in he would contact me, still no contact has been made so I'm leaving this review. read more

Absolutely amazing food and service,the atmosphere was perfect .Best experience I've had in a long time.. Again the food was 5 star

My grandson had his reception here, 115 guest. Room setup was bad, too cramp, and not how they showed them it would be. Food was great but the service clearing plates was very very slow. Ice cream Sundaes weren't given to every seat. They wouldn't set up the cakes/cupcakes or charcuterie boards. We were the first table after the bridal party (of 8) and food was almost gone in buffet trays. And the lady running it was very rude read more

DO NOT HOST YOUR WEDDING HERE I WARN YOU. On September 6, 2025 I hosted my wedding reception at the mirage. I decided on the venue because at the time I thought Fred still owned the Mirage. I never LOVED the venue, but I had already picked my date at the Cathedral and my photo/video so I went with what was available. I would have rather hosted it in my parent's foyer.. FOOD: let's date back to my first original food tasting where i went and picked up food, pamela knew i lived outta state, and completely forgot i needed my food tasting done in june even though this was communicated MULTIPLE times between december through june. we paid for the ultimate package meaning the best food and alcohol the venue could offer. when we showed up we recieved food that's offered at the lowest package rate available.. roast beef. wait for the foreshadowing to occur. Moe was kind enough to redo the food tasting and my mom was able to come try the food. we were extremely grateful for that. Our full menu looked like this; italian wedding soup, Alfredo & red sauce pasta, salad, chicken marsala, beef tenderloin, and salmon, green beans, and mashed potatoes. This was all family style, aka ALL YOU CAN EAT. 3 of my tables.. NEVER SERVED SALADS. i've spoken with MULTIPLE guests, who asked for MORE food and they were given an excuse as to why they wouldn't get more. sounds like they wanted to charge us 30,000 grand but not provide the food or alcohol promised.. when my mother who paid for the wedding asked for more beef tenderloin they handed her a plate of roast beef.. WTF. the food was delicious do not get me wrong, we were also promised the they would have some set aside for my husband and i to take back to our hotel room... NOPE. They never cut my actual wedding cake.. just sheet cakes and placed icecream all over the table where the actual cake was... the ice cream melted quick and none of my guests knew there was cake or ice cream. we were told this would be passed out. so my parents had to bring home a 5 tier cake that went to the trash.. we paid the mirage to set up a desert table (an additional 300 dollars) it was the most ridiculous table i've ever seen and it looked like a toddler did it. empty table with some plates of desert on it. who is pocketing all this money???? ALCOHOL: like mentioned we paid for a premium bar.. we also were promised 2 bars! hahah what a joke! i told pamela what our signature drinks were, mine specifically was a malibu and diet coke.. not hard to mess up right?? a week before the wedding pamela is calling asking if i wanted passion fruit malibu?? i said no thanks! at the wedding the bartenders started saying "chef ordered the wrong malibu, they will be to drunk to notice a difference" this conversation was right infront of my mother. WTF! We also were promised campari, never got it! The bar was a long ass line with cheap ass alcohol. THE WORKERS: Hahah the workers here are a joke, half way through my wedding workers are packing deserts from my table, my mom said what are you doing? they said they were packing them up to take home... one worker had the audacity to pick up a wedding magazine, and started to film it on our guests table. when my mom asked wtf he was doing he said he wanted to show his girlfriend so they can do it at there wedding. this MUST BE A JOKE. THE RECEPTION: my guests waited in the lobby for 17 minutes, my reception started at 6pm.. and guests didn't even get to enter until 6:17. imagine your elderly guests having to stand, with no seating because the venue has messed up that bad. this through my WHOLE night off. my wedding next door kept coming into my reception to take photos. at one point the other weddings bridesmaids tried dragging me off my dance floor because they wanted there bride to experience my wedding. WTF. i could go on for hours on my experience. my advice to you, please for the love of God. pick somewhere else. the palazzo, villa penna, petrezellos, ANYPLACE would be better then this. do not waste your money here. read more

Mirage Banquets & Catering - Reception salon was perfect! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Many of us were here for a wedding reception. The venue was so large and the lobby was very comfortable to wait in prior to the reception starting. The venue was even nice enough to stay open a little bit later than their hours allowed as we were waiting for our ride from the hotel to arrive. We were all very impressed with the experience here. read more

My husband & I were married at Mirage Banquets on August 11th 2018 & it was simply the most perfect day ever. Throughout the planning process, the owners John & Virginia were friendly & accommodating & we were able to communicate effectively through emails, phone calls & in person meetings. During the week of & the day of the wedding, Virg was the absolute BEST coordinator & made sure everything was executed to our specifications. To say the Mirage team surpassed our expectations is an understatement. From the Florists to the Linens (both preferred vendors of the Mirage), everyone worked together seamlessly to create the most beautiful atmosphere imaginable. One of our guests remarked upon entering the ceremony that it was "like something out a fairytale". How's that for a compliment?! The food was AMAZING, my husband & I are still hearing guests rave about the FOOD! We heard from several guests that night and in the days following that it was the best wedding they had ever attended! There were just so many different thoughtful touches that I can't even get into them all in this one brief review. Thank you John, Virginia, Fred, Jerome & Maryann and the entire Mirage team for making the best day of our lives even better than what we dreamed of! -Michelle & Joe Lucido read more

We had a funeral memorial luncheon. It was a difficult time but the Mirage staff made it a wonderful experience. They were kind and thoughtful. The venue was emaculate, tasteful and we are able to celebrate our father's life. We appreciated how hard Fred and Scott worked to make our day come off without any issues. The food was spectacular and I can not say enough about how kind the staff and owner was during this difficult time. We will definitely use this venue again. Highly recommended! read more

I was recently here for a wedding and wow wow wow! The way they decorated the place was amazing and like nothing I had ever seen before. The food was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend read more

I am beyond happy that I chose The Mirage for my Wedding Reception. I've been to The Mirage plenty of times for weddings, work parties, with friends, etc. It never disappoints. It was such a pleasure to work with Jamie on making sure our day was perfect. Our food was amazing (even though we hardly had time to have dinner and enjoy it). The hall looked gorgeous all set up and ready for the night. Thank you to everyone involved, we could not be more happy. We received many compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed the food and how lovely the Mirage is. The bathrooms are newly remodeled and look very nice. I highly recommend booking The Mirage for your Wedding Reception or next Party. read more

Went here for a wedding reception last week and had a great time! The food was delicious(I couldn't stop eating the tender roast beef"! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the workers were in too much of a hurry to take the food away before we had a chance to eat it all! read more

From the food to the staff the Mirage never disappoints! I will come here for any of my events, from a shower, to a wedding to a Christmas party the Mirage is the best!!! read more

We went for Mothers Day brunch. We felt like herded cattle. Very unorganized lobby, as they make you pay before you eat, get a receipt, then go to another area to get seated. Once inside the hall, there were soooo many tables it was packed together. There was absolutely no walking room between tables. You could hardly pull out your chair. And people numbed the back of you trying to get through. All you heard was sorry every second from guests and staff! The set up for the food was completely bad! One long line for every station. No one knew what to do becuz you stood in a buffet line to get to the omelette station. Then two other stations were off to the side of the omelette station that no one could see. They had that on both sides of the room. But only one was open. We were the first seating, and they didn't have the food ready. They needed less tables and better flow set up of the food. Whoever is in charge of that really dropped the ball! The food....basic. Nothing stood out. The loin steak was extremely rare. To the point it was tough and couldn't be cut. The pasta salad was good as was the salad. Everything else was just ok. There was no complimentary Mimosas for the Mothers like at most brunch banquets. None even offered. We would not go back. Very disappointing. read more

The inside is gorgeous! My fiance and I went there to meet with one of the consultants to possibly book our wedding reception. They do not have a separate ceremony space but she said we could use one of the smaller rooms for that. HOWEVER, if they booked a bigger wedding that needed to use the room as an extension of theirs (after we booked ours) we would not be able to use the room. She basically told us that they want to make the most money possible and it doesn't matter who books first. Needless to say we chose another venue. The last thing I want to worry about on my wedding day is not having a place for the ceremony. read more

Had the Memorial luncheon after my father's funeral. The food was excellent, and we have gotten lots of compliments. The meatballs were a big hit with everyone! The only negative I have is that it took little while once we arrived to get the food out to the buffet (but I understand since the timing for a funeral is a little hard to predict). The inside of the facility is beautiful. I'd go back again in an instant! read more

Mother's Day brunch was amazing!!! Everyone in our party of 12 loved their food and great service! So many choices, I wish they did Sunday brunch more! read more

Received over and above services from Fred and the rest of the staff for my daughter's wedding. It's been a long time since I've come across a facility that cares from beginning to the very end. Everyone working here including front office, kitchen, coat check and valet were very professional and courteous. Thanks to all of you, my daughter's wedding was a great success. If you are looking for a venue where you'll be assured of its services, I highly recommend the Mirage. -L. Bjornholm (mother of the bride) read more

We loved the Mothers Day Brunch! Great selection of interesting food.

John D is a very good chef. Really works well with his guests as the chef/host/owner.

I am a single female. Went there for Easter Brunch 2018 without a reservation because I am a party of one. Got there at 12:30pm and they turned me away because I did not have a reservation. They did not offer to say can you wait a few minutes and if our next party does not show up we can seat you. Instead they referred me to go down the street to Earnies Kings Mill for their brunch. read more

I recently had my step daughter's baby shower at the Mirage. I had so many compliments from my guests on the food and the wait staff. I found the staff there to be so very nice and very helpful. The food was excellent. The hall is very classy. I would recommend The Mirage to everyone. read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Mirage in Sept 2015. Everything was perfect and could not have been better! Our guests all raved about the food, the service, and the overall perfection of everything. We worked with Fred, and he helped us every single step of the way-he was so kind, helpful, and easy going. He also provided us with a list of approved, reputable vendors (DJ, photo booth, etc), which really helped! The facility itself was gorgeous and clean. Highly highly highly recommend this banquet facility for any function. If you want your wedding to be beautiful and stress-free, definitely go here! read more

I recently went here for a wedding and was NOT impressed! The actual entrees were pretty good but, the pasta was cold, the salad was drowned in dressing, and the soup had nothing in it! Our table didn't even get wedding cake. As I looked around several tables didn't get cake. Ok, maybe the cake wasn't big enough I don't know. Then if you ran out of cake and the cake was served with a small sundae then why did we not get that?! The womens room had toilet paper rolls on the floor and what looked like poop on the toilet bowl. The servers were great and the bar staff seemed unenthusiastic to be there. I did see one of the owners and felt that she was not dressed appropriately for a wedding (capri pants and flip flop like sandals). I think my biggest complaint would be that this venue WATERS down their actual liquor. Literally is not serving full content alcohol!!! So if you're not drinking wine or beer you will be S-O-L here. I'm about to get married and I am not paying for booze that isn't booze. Last I checked that IS against the law!!!!!!! I never want to go in that place ever again! read more
