Reunions come in every size: a 10-year class reunion, a cousins' get-together or three generations of one family. Galati's has private rooms in Cary for 25 to 150 guests, an easy drive from Lake in the Hills, Fox River Grove, Island Lake and Barrington.

For the biggest reunions, the whole top floor holds up to 150 and the first-floor Fireplace Room up to 80. The Catwalk (up to 70) has its own full bar and overlooks the sports bar, a natural fit for a class reunion. Kids under 12 are half price, and the elevator and plenty of free parking make the day easy for older relatives.

Reunion planning tips

  • Send your inquiry with your best headcount guess, and we'll suggest the room that fits.
  • Every room has sound and TV hookups for old yearbook photos or a family slideshow.
  • Class reunion? A cash bar or limited host bar lets classmates buy their own drinks.
  • Family reunion? Kids under 12 are half price, and family style ($6 per person, 30-guest minimum) gets everyone passing platters.
  • In town for the weekend? Come back to our sports bar and restaurant downstairs.

We have had many family events here and Vince and his staff have always gone above and beyond to make it special.
