In November of 2009, Festival Foods purchased Apple Creek Inn, a banquet facility and catering company located in De Pere, Wisconsin. It was renamed The Marq in March of 2010 to symbolize its focus on creating marquee events as the area’s premiere catering company. The transformation continued with the complete remodeling of our banquet facility. A widened, welcoming entryway, completely renovated restrooms, lighting upgrades throughout, new ballroom carpeting, updated decor, and a newly refashioned English Pub bar all serve to enrich the event experiences of our guests. In addition to the interior changes, we expanded our parking area and enhanced the wonderful gardens that encompass our popular outdoor venues, the Garden Gazebo and the Arbor Under The Willows.
Our Mission
Our mission is to position The Marq as the gathering place of choice for weddings, parties, corporate events and all other special occasions, and to establish our company as the area’s premiere catering service known for its great food, exceptional service, and stylish surroundings. We are dedicated to providing our customers with memorable experiences that will exceed their expectations.
The Marq Advantage
With direct access to top quality food and ingredients from Festival Food stores, The Marq has the unique ability to accommodate all of our guests’ catering and menu requests. The expertise of our event planning and culinary staff gives us the flexibility to cater events at our banquet and catering center in De Pere, or off-site at any location in Northeast Wisconsin. With our experienced team, updated facility and new menu featuring Festival Foods signature items, we are excited to be able to offer our customers a complete event experience that only The Marq and Festival Foods can achieve. That’s The Marq advantage.
Capacity
Our banquet facility can accommodate up to 575 guests, and our gardens and grounds provide ample room for those guests. Off site, we can serve up to 10,000 guests, contingent on the size of your location.
