The place is beautiful! I attended a quinceanera 2 weeks ago. I think the layout for mariachi…read morepresentation was awkward.!perhaps you could have the mariachi towards the bar area facing the guests; most of us could only the their backs as they were facing the teen & family and members. Again when the presentation of the video of her life... we couldn't see because we were seated under the pillars & the screen was facing the door. Perhaps a backdrop screen covering the bar just for this presentation. The food wasn't really good; chicken with a white sauce, no vegetables and rice was not good nor attractive. I suggest you train the wait staff to address guests that napkins are not rags! A young man asked me for "my rag" because he was picking up dishes and glassware. I am a mom, grandmother and realize the young employees & understand they are learning and took no offense but other people may. For me it was funny since he pointed to my lap! I said to him, "oh you mean my napkin!". He nodded. I hope you will contact me further if you wish for me to express what I meant by the suggestions. Thank you for allowing me to express my view.

We were looking for a Quincenera ball room for my oldest daughter during December of 2021 when we…read moreran across this location online. We were immediately impressed with the overall design of the building and what the architecture had to offer. We contacted Ruben Ortega who did not answer our phone call and instead had his wife call us directly to set up a tour of the ball room. My sister in law toured the location on our behalf due to our inability to travel from Alaska to El Paso, TX. We are a military family so our funds and opportunities to travel are limited, especially having just arrived to Alaska in the weeks prior to our consult. My sister in law Facetimed us and showed us the ballroom and we were immediately impressed with the view and the theme that we looked at. Upon conclusion of the call we immediately called Nancy Ortega and we were eager to set up an arrangement as we planned on hosting the party on the 28th of July of 2024. She answered the phone call then. My wife naturally had a lot of questions because we were not actively present in the area and at one point, Nancy was rude about the questions that were being asked. At first, I thought I was being sensitive but looking back and thinking about our experience as a whole I was right. We signed the contract stating that we had to make payments every month starting with a deposit and payments thereafter and the room had to be paid in full for when the party was taking place. Once we made the payments, that's when things got sketchy. All we requested was receipts for the payments we were making along with the receipt for a deposit because we had heard of someone's experience with their accounting resulting in that someone's crowd being denied entry due to "Non Payment". We did not want that to happen to us. We got nothing. We attempted to contact Nancy and Ruben multiple times and no successful contact was made. We made payments for about three months before we stopped completely so maybe we could get their attention and they'd contact us (I don't feel like that should have been done). On the 3rd month they contacted us and immediately stated that our contract was going to be voided if we did not make a payment and we replied by asking for a receipt of the last three payments that we had made. We got nothing. On or about the 3rd day after the initial contact Ruben got in contact with my wife via text and stated that we once again had to make a payment or the contract would be voided. We once again requested a receipt and we got nothing. THEY BOTH DID NOT ANSWER VOICE CALLS!!!! They only communicated through text message when they wanted a payment or when they had a smart ass remark to make. Finally, my wife straight up told Ruben that we would not make a payment until we got the receipts to which he replied that he had sent them to my email and we still had nothing. (Yes, I checked my spam too) The next day, our contract was cancelled and Ruben finally sent the receipts. He agreed that it was a miscommunication but we were the only ones who had issues with their communication and he proceeded to boast that all his 150 customers don't have issues and we were the only ones who had issues, but that we would get our money back as soon as we sent account information. It is now August, and all this happened in March of 2022. We have YET to receive a refund. After that day my wife made a couple of attempts to get in contact with them for the refund and of course (Surprise, Surprise) they did not answer. These two kept 600 dollars of ours and have yet to return anything. These two are crooks and are extremely unprofessional so if you think about looking at this location. Think again! there are other locations with honest owners that are willing to take care of their customers and who don't steal from their customers. Below is a link to report them as I will be in the coming days: Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/report-antitrust-violation AND Better Business Bureau https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint

We celebrate our wedding reception last month here at Madrid's Ballroom. We in fact enjoyed every…read moreminute of it! We and our guest did not want the evening to end. My husband and I wished we booked for the extra hour. I did feel coming up to our wedding date quickly approaching conversations were getting pressed last minute and questions were not getting responses until days after the fact. Which if you ever planned a big party all the small things end up adding up towards the end. So I do feel simple communication practice would of greatly been appreciated. In previous experience in other ballrooms, I did love how the staff served the guests with the drinks and food, during the dinner hour. It kept the ballroom looking elegant. versus all the guest getting up to line up for their dinner plate or having them to gather their own plates for clean-up. The staff was great, you can tell they were there to be attentive to everyone's needs and requests. When it came down to my husband and I to cut the cake. I made sure him and I cut the bottom of our cake. Thinking the staff knew to save the top of the tier of our cake for us to keep to take home. Disappointed to say they cut into the top of the 3-tier cake instead of saving it for us. The moments we did met with Mr. Madrid he was nothing but helpful to our needs and requests we greatly appreciate how he came through for us on our special day, THANK YOU

I absolutely recommend this ballroom for any type of event that requires a ballroom. I had my…read morewedding here and Lynn and Hector were with me every step of the way! Lynn takes charge of all the little details and is kind of the master behind the curtain. She talks decor, food, cake, Dj, photographer - basically anything you need and everything you didn't think you needed that day - she has it and is on top of it making sure she doesn't skip a beat! She's alway super quick to respond and has a person for every service should you need it! She's got photographers, Djs, bar staff, people who can marry you, catering staff, I mean they've got it all! Your one stop shop for your event! Hector comes into play on your rehearsal and guides you through it all. On the day of the wedding he's super present and hold your hand through the day guiding you during each event (i.e entrance, all the first dances, toasts, wedding traditions he's there). My special day went incredibly smooth and I was so much at ease! The only thing I worried about that day was my feet hurting from all the standing/dancing! Again I highly recommend this place as YOU WILL BE CATERED TO!
