The Avalon Difference.
Our experience spans over a quarter century as former owners and operator of The Patio Restaurant and Banquet Center at 7706 Broadway in Merrillville. We have also been the caterer of choice for two additional facilities in the Merrillville area, the elegant Croatian Center and the renown Hellenic Center. When the community and businesses of Northwest Indiana had a demand for additional banquet and meeting facilities, we listened and took our many years of experience and success to undertake the building of The Avalon Manor.
Our elegant 30,000 square foot facility is the largest free standing banquet and meeting center in Northwest Indiana
Not only will you and your guests be impressed with the elegant interior design, but once they step outside they would be surrounded by our beautiful and picturesque grounds with it’s shimmering pond and fountain, intimate gazebos, and colorful gardens. We invite you and your guests to visit us at The Avalon Manor.
See the results of our many years of experience in the food, banquet and meeting industry. As always we will continue the tradition of quality and service to our guests, an accomplishment of great pride.

Beautiful Backyard
Our backyard is beautiful! We are located on protected wetlands, so the scenery is natural and lush. It is something our guests would never expect, being situated on a main road like Route 30 (East Lincoln Highway). Each ballroom includes patio doors leading out to this peaceful and pristine environment for guests to enjoy the fresh air and a quieter area to mingle.
Convenient Location for a Beautiful Backdrop
The fountain in the pond bordered by a colorful forest of trees, weeping willows surrounding the gazebo and professionally landscaped grounds create an immaculate, photogenic backdrop for any event!
