You are responsible for your own table cloths, or you can rent it from them for an additional price. There's a kitchen that you can use, the bathrooms are clean, and there's plenty of parking inside. The venue can host 100 people, but it will be very tight with that many people. We had about 80 people (including kids) at the event, and though it felt tight, at least the kids were able to hang outside to enjoy the bouncer. I rented the afternoon time frame, so we were given the venue from 2:30-9PM. The only thing that I found weird was that there was absolutely no attendant available at the end of the night. Overall, a decent place to rent a venue if you wanna DIY things yourself.

It felt a little tight, but there was still plenty of space in the foyer area and in the back. At the event I attended they had a bounce house and a taco vendor in the back. There is a full sized kitchen available for use so you can store or prepare food and drinks. The grass lawn out front was also a nice place for kids to run around. Super family friendly space! It was nice they even had a changing table in the women's bathroom. I would love to attend another event here in the future!

They have a full kitchen, full bar, ice machine, restrooms, and enough tables, chairs, space, and rental equipment to hold up to 150 people, and are flexible with customizing the experience to any kind of event and theme. We had a cuties themed baby shower with 130 people, and hired multiple vendors (Vietnamese food, boba tea bar, desserts, a bartender, and balloon artists). It was an amazing and fun experience for all of our friends and family members. Would definitely want to go here again for other events in the future, such as birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc.

The Cabin in Monrovia Canyon Park is the perfect place for a small, intimate event. My cousin got…read moremarried here last weekend, and it was beautiful. There is a grassy area behind the cabin and next to a small creek where they had the ceremony. The cabin itself can only accommodate about forty guests. It has a balcony, fireplace, a single stall bathroom, and a kitchenette. There was also a group of deer roaming around that were not shy around people. The only downside is that because this is in a city park, smoking and alcohol are not allowed.

Throughout our 10am-6pm agenda, it was mentioned how refreshing it was to be in a space where the windows were left open and the canyon breeze filled the room, where a stretch break took place in the woods, and there was even had a mission aligned scavenger hunt! We brought our own AV. (easy set up) and breakfast and lunch was delivered from Panera, (Yes! They deliver into the canyon). The park also offers a discount for small non-profit institutions. This is definitely an affordable option if you are local, and want a motivating offsite with your key players!!!

This placed saved our wedding during COVID - we live streamed our wedding to 300+ guests from here and it was extremely memorable to all.

The conservatory is a beautiful backdrop, and there are many niche spaces that are wonderful for photographing. Highly recommend.

I was actually surprised at the size of the crowd Monday, very well attended. For those new to Santa Anita go to the Frontrunner for a restaurant experience overlooking the stretch run. Serious horse players go to the "Room" - it's next to the Chandelier room. Used to be called the Sports Book but now it's just unnamed. The clubhouse side has outdoors table seating just past the finish line. Plenty of bars and food venues throughout for those so like to walk around and visit the paddock and walking ring. Check it out!

Peacocks walking around. An experience I will cherish for ever. On race day, there were rides, food, beer, and just a good vibe that would make anyone come back again. Sure it was hot! But it's also California! Gotta love a sunny, bright, hot day with cotton like clouds up in the sky. Happy summer everyone!

It seems old and dated, but with a bit of love and cosmetics (like how his planners designed the whole place) then it's a whole different place! Plenty of room for apps, main course and the bar was strategically placed in the back. There's also a big dance floor. Venue can easily fit 200 - 250 people comfortably. Free lot parking at the back (it's a little tricky to find but not too bad - slow down when you get on Morlan Place, should be easy from there!) They should signs or something, because a lot of people missed it. Other than the parking snag, we had a great time at this place! If it were close to home, I'd consider using it as well!

I will definitely be booking at this hall in the future!

This review is way overdue. Life got ahead of me. I'm sorry, Emil and Lisa!…read more I had my daughter's quinceañera at El Palacio Hall on March 14, 2026. We hosted 175 guests. When we first started looking for venues, we had a few specific things in mind, and flexibility was one of them. On our first visit in March 2025, we met with Emil, the venue owner. He was very welcoming, friendly, family-oriented, and easy to work with. He answered all of my questions and was very transparent from day one. He never pressured us or made us feel obligated to choose everything the hall offered. All selections and packages were based on our budget and what we wanted to spend. When I walked into the venue, I was immediately attracted to the décor, high ceilings, and bar area. Everything was very clean, the white draping made the space feel even more open, and the floor plan was perfect. I knew I wouldn't have to do much. I did hire an outside vendor to help with the themed décor, but almost everything else, including the plating, was purchased through the venue. As the quinceañera date approached, we met the venue manager, Lisa. She became our go-to person for anything we needed. She was very attentive and made sure the event was a success and that everything looked beautiful on the big day. The day of the event, everything went very smoothly. We had a venue host who worked hand in hand with Lisa. I forgot his name, but he was very kind and helpful. I had many family members say, "This place is beautiful! I never knew this was here." No one had any issues with parking. The restrooms were well maintained throughout the event, the food was ready on time (we had the fajitas, beans, and rice which was very tasty), the serving staff was very efficient, and the air conditioning was blasting and felt great (the temperature that day was around 78-80 degrees). Every area of the venue was operating seamlessly. All-in-all I am very grateful to all the staff at El Palacio Hall because they helped make my daughter's quinceañera a success. I would definitely have another event there again.
