Steve, There are no words can describe how amazing and outstanding everything was. You have exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make our special day memorable and extraordinary. The service, the food, the staff, and your cooperation was above and beyond. You are a highly recommended to everyone that I know for every event. Again, thank you soooooooo much Steve and Allure banquet. read more

We had a very disappointing experience while visiting this venue for a tour. David was extremely rude, unprofessional, and unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. He did not greet us, barely acknowledged us, and continued looking at his phone instead of making any effort to engage with us or show genuine interest in giving a tour. It's unfortunate because the inside of the venue did have potential, but the overall experience made it very clear that this was not a place where we felt valued or welcomed as potential clients. The exterior was also dirty, and there were several unhoused individuals camped nearby, which added to the poor first impression. At the end of the day, we do not spend money where we are not treated with basic respect. This was a hard no for us. read more

Food is great... service is awesome. Dave was the beat at our corporate event and it went without hit hitch.

I got married 2 months ago at Allure, it was the best decision I ever made. Amazing service, delicious food that left our guests complimenting how good it was. Clean and newly renovated bathrooms as well. I took Steve's advice and added the low fog and sparkles for the first dance and it was absolutely amazing. Thanks guys for everything! read more

Where do I even start? My relationship with Allure spans nearly a decade, going back to when I first worked with their incredible manager, David, on event after event. If you need something done, David is the person to go to--he makes things happen, every single time. From birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers and corporate events, Allure has done it all for me, and the food is always the highlight of the night. Guests rave about it long after each event ends! So when it came time to plan my wedding, there was no one else I'd trust with such an important day--and they did not disappoint. Every detail was flawlessly handled, and my guests never had to wait a moment to be served. The servers--Artur, Kevin, and Vazgen--were amazing, attentive, and made everyone feel like VIPs. They have an incredible range of food options, and everything is always top-notch. As a bride, I felt completely taken care of. David was there, overseeing everything and making sure the event flowed perfectly. Choosing Allure's catering was one of the best decisions I made, and I'll continue to choose them for future events. I know I can rely on them completely, and I couldn't be happier with their work! read more

Attending the venue for the first time as a guest. It's tucked away off Van Nuys Blvd. Valet parking was available upon arrival. This venue was perfect for the B'nai Mitzvah I was attending. The outside was set up as a lounge area and red carpet. The foyer at entrance was decorated and very contemporary with the design of the mirrors, lighting fixtures and furniture. The bathrooms were very sleek and modern as well. The main ballroom was dual purpose for the religious ceremony and the reception celebration to follow. The lighting fixtures were elegant and the color pallet was very neutral so not distracting to the theme. Wonderful venue staff. Very attentive. Bar staff and table staff were very professional. The catering was delicious. I am considering using this venue for my own future events. read more

Just had my second holiday office party here so I feel a little more empowered to say something of my overall impression of Allure. There is a noticeable amount of effort to make this venue a diamond in the rough and tumble neighborhood it sits in. Of course, the planners at my office have to collaborate with the hall, but the quality of the suite of services and vendors they've offered is what I'll mostly be commenting on. The food was what I was impressed about the first time and it was one of the elements I was looking forward to having again. The office arranged service like a formal wedding dinner: a few appetizers followed by several rounds of entrees. It becomes all you can eat but the initial platters of food are plenty for the 9 or so people seated at a table. My favorite is the chicken fettuccine. Simple, but the breaded chicken in the Alfredo sauce is a pretty good execution for the dish. There's also a grilled beef and chicken course with mashed taters, a fish (tilapia I think) and veggies course and a penne pasta course. There's a stage and a dance floor, with plenty of additional entertainment space for a photo op and games. The two bar stands (one in the foyer and the other in main hall) end up being quite popular. Yes, my second time around, some of the parts that make up the whole did feel a little past their prime, like older serving utensils and little dings in some of the wall paneling - but the place still cleans up nicely. For two years, I've had consistent, hours-long visits that have resulted in a full belly and a handful of out-of-office memories with my colleagues. I'm mostly in gratitude about a local spot that can accommodate our year-end festivities to a sufficiently adequate degree. read more

Allure Catering truly made our wedding day unforgettable. From the very beginning, David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was calm, organized, and completely on top of every detail. He coordinated everything for us, including the catering, tables, chairs, dance floor, bar, and servers. It all came together perfectly without a single hiccup. I felt so at ease knowing he was handling it all. The food was beyond amazing. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We had guests coming up to us all night asking who the caterer was and saying it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The compliments just kept coming. It was such a great feeling knowing that people were enjoying themselves and that the meal was something they would actually remember. David's staff was just as impressive. Every server was polite, professional, and genuinely kind. They anticipated guests' needs and made sure everyone felt taken care of. The whole evening ran so smoothly because of how well his team worked together. They made it feel effortless, even though I know how much effort went into everything behind the scenes. We chose Allure because we had worked with them in the past and had a great experience. Choosing them again was the best decision we could have made. It was just as amazing the second time, if not even better. They are consistent, reliable, and truly exceptional at what they do. If you are looking for a catering company that will show up, deliver quality, and go above and beyond, Allure is it. David and his team made our day stress-free, elegant, and memorable in every way. I am so grateful we chose them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event. read more

I did not have a good experience with this venue. I've booked it a long time before my event and 3 months before event, there was a big conflict and when I asked them for a new date, they said I will lose my $1000 deposit. They had more than enough time to rebook it and I know they actually did because it was plenty of time . As a result I left them and book it at Bella Blanca. Much nicer venue. I lost my deposit unfortunately since they were not willing to work with me and not giving my deposit back even when they rebook my original date, a big rip off. At the end, I was much happier at my other venue, much more pleasant people to work with. If you are planning a date in this venue, just know nothing can be changed even if you do it long before. It has set in stone per their contract. Its ridiculous. I am not recommending this venue to anyone. read more

We just hosted our son's bar mitzvah at Allure this past weekend and could not be happier with the way the evening went. David Hovanesyan (our coordinator from Allure) from the very first meeting was professional, kind, responsive and a true pleasure to work with. The entire staff made sure our evening went off without a hitch. The room looked beautiful. The food was amazing! Our guests kept complimenting every bite. Everything was timed perfectly for the evening. You feel like you are surrounded by staff from start to finish who are there to make sure that any little need is taken care of. David responded to anything we needed from the very first meeting over a year ago. We cannot recommend Allure high enough and look forward to hosting another bar mitzvah there in two years.

Amazing experience I had my wedding hosted there and hoping to have a my baby shower next

My wife and I just celebrated our wedding last night (10/11/25), and as you can tell, I'm writing this review less than 24 hours later. From start to finish, Steve was the definition of professional, patient, and kind. Every detail we requested was handled with first-class service. Steve and his team truly made us feel like celebrities on our wedding night. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food, venue, and overall experience. Thank you again, Steve, for your incredible hospitality and the thoughtful gifts you gave us -- we're beyond grateful. read more

My daughter's quince was this past Saturday. My complaints are with Steve who we signed our contract with a year ago. We were told they do a mock cake but it's custom decorated how we want, I bought a specific topper, requested fresh flowers on it only to come in the day of the event to a plastic cake! It was dirty looking and chipped just the ugliest thing, what an eye sore. Our court main table was changed without notifying me and of course the kids didn't fit because my daughter's dress was big so kids were cramped. He tried to tell me the original long table didn't fit yet there was space to shift the ugly cake tabl I used one of their photo booth contacts and getting a quince frame design was a nightmare we ended up with a new year's theme one only because it was the night before our event and had no option but I had been asking months prior for samples. I feel it was the communication with Steve that led to these issues. The venue is beautiful, wait staff was amazing. Clean spacious bathrooms. Food was good and served family style. I recommend if booking here to have every detail in writing so that you get exactly what was promised. Ask about extra fees as I was surprised when I wanted to bring in outside vendors and they requested cleaning deposit, event insurance and if you want to use the big screen that they newly installed to project an image for the night. read more

I had my wedding at Allure on Saturday January 25th and I cannot explain just how amazing everything was. The attention to detail the professionalism was absolutely mesmerizing, I had the pleasure of speaking to Steve and David and both were so helpful in everything. The hall you choose really matters and this was the best hall I could've chosen. So incredibly thankful to all the help I received and for the staff going above and beyond my expections. read more

We hosted our daughter's quinceañera at this venue, and Steve went above and beyond to make this special day unforgettable. The venue is beautiful, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive throughout the night. Our guests loved both the venue and food , and many commented how delicious it was! The owner himself was present and very attentive throughout the whole night which we greatly also appreciated. Thank you so much Allure for hosting our daughter's quinceañera. read more

My wife and I just hosted our wedding reception here on January 25! The general manager Steve took so much weight off our shoulders with the planning process from the months prior to our big day. He ensured us from the beginning everything we pictured would come to life the way we envisioned and he and his team exceeded all of our expectations. The venue is beautifully lit up with lights you can fully customize with Steve to get the perfect look you desire prior to your big day. Their staff was non-stop the whole 5ish hours accommodating all 340 of our guests needs. The top tier Mediterranean food made us all feel at home with how delicious it was. Would 100% recommend this venue for any special event you want to host for you and your loved ones! read more

Allure Banquet - Wife and I during our slow dance, sparklers and fog provided by venue! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I attended as a guest. The layout was comfortable. The interior had a nice design, as well as lighting. There is a foyer area where they set up a bar for your guests to mingle and enjoy drinks both before and during the main event. Bathroom was remodeled and clean. The food was not the best, but perhaps it was because of what the hosts ordered. Meat/chicken platter with rice was one platter for a table of 10+. Temperature of food was on the cold side. Staff removed plates with food on them while the guests were dancing, so we came back and had nothing to eat; meanwhile, the main dishes were also removed from the table and it was only 11 pm approximately when that happened. I thought the side dishes were somewhat unique - kubbe was very tasty, for example, as well as cheese-filled puff pastry. read more

I personally chose Allure for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah because 1) The attention and care and the pleasant management ( Steve is the best FYI :-) ) 2) Gorgeous venue 3) Great food 4) Very convenient for us and guests location. On the day of our event I was shockingly surprised how EVERYONE at Allure exceeded our expectations. We definitely felt we got way beyond of what we paid for. The stuff, the kitchen, the bartenders, security, valet parking and of course the management was always there to make sure that our event went smoothly. The food was delicious and timely, sushi bar was outstanding, desert table was so good that kids ate it immediately. The cleaning crew kept everything very clean. At the end of the event we got a lot of our untouched food to go beautifully packaged and carefully put in our car. We will be definitely back for our younger daughter's Bat Mitzvah. read more

By looking at the rest of the reviews, it seems like the only good reviews are those by middle easterns I can confirm if you are any other race, they will NOT gaf about you. Coming here after years when I had my quince back in 2019 at this venue and I can say the day was a complete disaster from the start of the party. The seating charts my mom and I spent days working on weren't even close to accurately displayed on the tv. The table cloth we asked for was a linen ivory cloth and we received a VELVET textured cloth! The cake we requested looked absolutely NOTHING as we showed them. It was supposed to be gold drops along the sides and it looked like chunky dog shit falling down the plain white fondue cake (btw we asked for a pink/white ombre FROSTING cake). The tables we wanted for our cake and my court was given to the other party next door since they have 2 rooms. The food was not as we requested at ALL and was completely different from our tasting day. The photo booth they offered as part of their package was a joke. The pictures came out dark and the photo booth attendants were smoking in the bathroom. Onto the worst part, the servers dropped glass and left it unattended for my little sister to step on it. The manager who was supposed to be there the day of was no where to be found and turned up randomly out of nowhere. Finally after my parents had a meeting with the manager about these ridiculous mistakes, he proceeded to tell them he cannot do anything about it and did not give a portion of a refund. Don't book this racist piece of shit and find yourself something better, especially if it's a quince. Guests loved the place until we explained the joke of a service read more

I came here for a quinceañera the venue was absolutely gorgeous but the food portions were honestly really bad they gave a small portion of food for a table of 10 it's pretty bad what makes it worse is that it didn't even taste good, maybe thats why they do it. Additionally they charge $20 for the valet and they park the car in front of your face like 10 steps away I could honestly do that myself for free. read more

TLDR: catered our wedding:: great price, perfect service, best wedding food EVER, and finally: FOG MACHINE FTW. Cannot recommend them enough. We went with David at Allure to cater our wedding which took place at The Smogshoppe. After our tasting - which by the way is meant to feed 8 with leftovers for all, so don't make our mistake and just show up the two of you - where David and staff served and explained their "classic" dishes, we paid our deposit and secured the date. We opted for family style service with 3 meats and an emphasis to have vegan and vegetarian options, stationary and passing appetizers, packaged to include their alcohol service as well. The price was amazing, so we really were not expecting to get this much food for such a great price, never mind to get this QUALITY. David said we could finalize the menu closer to the date once we had final numbers so it was a huge help. We still had leftovers for days but they were all delicious. It's been a few months since the wedding, and EVERY guest commented on how amazing the food was. My only regret is that I did not get to give enough of a thank you to Allure and their staff for their excellence. read more

I'm confident I've left a review before but it's always good to know after all these years Allure Banquet and Catering team is still very responsive, professional, and offers a variety of choices for it's customers. Thank you for keeping your customers happy! We will always come back. read more
