Frankfort is one of the last southwest suburbs of Chicagoland and offers some choice bars and banquets for special events. Whether for a wedding ceremony or reception, family reunion or just a general party spot for large groups, Frankfort is regarded for its facilities. Banquet centers with bars are all ages, so parents should chaperone any underage attendees.
While its address is technically in Mokena, wedding receptions in the Frankfort area are often held at Dinolfo's. There are four main halls available for separate parties, each with a dance floor, bar and dining area. There is also a bar in the front lobby, for those who want to drink in an area that isn't playing dance music. Elegance is a priority at Dinolfo's, with tall ceilings and ornate chandeliers decorating the venue. Dinolfo's guests are admitted only by invitation, usually from a wedding party.

The only banquet hall that is actually in Frankfort is CD and Me. The space is heavily landscaped, making it a popular choice for outdoor weddings and receptions. It is surrounded by farmland, giving it a very spacious decor. Its dance floor is indoors, but large open doors provide easy access to the external bars and garden areas. CD and Me offers multiple bars both inside and outside, upstairs and downstairs. Parking is limited, so drivers may have to park up to half a mile away if there are multiple wedding guests. Attire may be casual at CD and Me, due to the outdoor environment.

On the border of Tinley Park and the Frankfort Square is the Odyssey Country Club. During the summer months, many come here to play golf, but it also has a popular banquet hall. Weddings aren't the only parties Odyssey welcomes--showers, anniversary parties and company gatherings are often hosted. There are two ballrooms, an upstairs and downstairs. Odyssey is predominantly a business-casual atmosphere, since it has outdoor areas that guests often explore during summertime.
