From the reviews
Incredibly spacious and, as I hear, generously priced banquet hall. I've attended two receptions here and have always had a wonderful time. Perhaps it has something to do with the people I've attended with, or perhaps Babylon Palace is doing something to serve its patrons above-and-beyond the call of duty.
I had my wedding here and everything was amazing! Everything, from when we started planning back in January to the day of my wedding in November, was awesome. Mike and his team were very helpful every step of the way. Great customer service!
This hall is very large and can accommodate large numbers of guests. The owners have always been nice and cordial when I have photographed events there. I highly recommend tho check out this venue.
A Truly Unforgettable Experience – Thank You, Mike and Babylon! My experience with Mike was by far the best I’ve ever had with any business owner. He is, without a doubt, one of the most humble, kind, and caring individuals I’ve ever worked with.
Getting married at Babylon Palace Banquet Hall
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Babylon Palace Banquet Hall doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
Galas & corporate events at Babylon Palace Banquet Hall
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Babylon Palace Banquet Hall — castle venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
