I made multiple payments throughout the year and trusted that everything was set. Just two and a half weeks before the event, I received a text message from the owner saying he had accidentally double booked my date and was asking if I could move the event to another day. I was completely shocked and devastated. I have family traveling from Mexico and Los Angeles, and I've already paid for the caterer, DJ, decorator, cake, and photographer. When you plan an event like this almost a year in advance, it's not something you can just change last minute. He offered to refund my money or try to find another venue, but how could I trust him again after such a huge mistake? I had no choice but to start over and look for another place, which means paying extra fees, delivery charges, and the inconvenience of relocating everything to Gilroy. Because of this, my daughter will no longer have her church ceremony, and that breaks my heart. This experience has been stressful, costly, and deeply disappointing. I do not recommend doing business with this person or this venue. They were unprofessional, careless, and completely unreliable with something so important. He doesn't even deserve the 1 star !!!

There's also an attendant to help, a bartender, and security on your day of service. All of this is included and very affordable. It's perfect for any event, my guests really enjoyed the space as well. Thank you Grace Hall for hosting our daughter's special day.

The hall is stunning on the inside & their decor and choices feel high end and luxurious. If you want your party to feel elevated this is the place! They have a bar, dance floor and plenty of space for a small or large gathering. I had a small issue with a setup I was doing and Emik was so kind to help me & truly has a great eye for what she does. My family had an XV party here and as a guest I had an amazing time. The staff here was super attentive and professional. I will be recommending this location to anyone that is looking for a place for their next event after the great experience I had. You will be in great hands with this team!

I attended a wedding reception here on Saturday, September 17th at 4:30pm…read more First off, there's parking behind the building which I didn't see, so I ended up street parking in the residential area across the street. I believe you have to get on N 24th Street to access the lot. There was confusion on my part as I got there a little early. The security guy said they weren't ready yet, so I should just wait outside. I ended up going inside the building to use the restroom and just sat outside the dining hall. I didn't realize there was a reception outside in the side patio by the parking lot. I wish the security guy had told me when I got there. I did manage to find out in time to have two drinks downstairs. The space inside was set up nicely. It's not a huge room, but the wedding itself wasn't super huge, so they used the space well. In front was the table for the bride, groom, and their two kids. They left space open in the front and in the middle of the room for dancing and the food. Come dinner time, they set up a buffet style table and we grabbed food that way. Downstairs, they had a photo booth set up up by the entrance of the building. There's a beautiful round staircase that takes you upstairs to the dining hall. Nice venue for a wedding. The building from the outside doesn't look like much, but you can do a lot with the space inside.

And so we had to try and cover as much as we could with our own decorations. (Kind of wish they would repaint it) Other than that the owner is very helpful and accommodating. They have their own vendors as well for certain things but we opted out for that. Plenty of space in the back for parking or a jumper for the kids.

Plus parking was free and entry was free when we went. Just a BIG FYI, because we didn't go during an event, they DO LOCK UP THE PARK and when I was waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up from our parking area (ended up on the other side of the park somehow), I saw a bunch of people trying to call for help after the gate locked them in. Woops. It seems that they hold lots of events here with outdoor local vendors, food vendors, and also opportunities to go inside the houses and learn about the history of a lot of the buildings. I'd keep an eye out on their social media or website for those, but as a freebie person exploring through. It's fun and cute.

If you've been to medieval or historical towns (where folks dress up in that time period and…read morereenact that time period...), this History Park has that kind of vibe. It's like a small town within a big town. There's a museum. There's a gift shop. There's a garden. There's a bunch of seating areas. There's sculptures. There's trains and horns you can honk. Parking is strange. No idea if they truly monitor and ticket folks because it's self pay.

We visited during our trip to San Diego & oh my goodness, it was absolutely amazing…read more This is such a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Located inside Balboa Park, you can tour the museums in the area, but don't forget to stop and take a moment to smell the flowers at the Japanese Friendship Garden... There were so many beautiful birds, butterflies, koi, and plants I've never seen before. The grounds were very clean and well manicured. Pricing to get in was about $60 for a family of 4 (including student pricing for our children) which may be a bit steep if you have young children with thin patience.. however, if you are able to come in and find your Zen for a couple hours, this is the spot to do so. They offer free crafts for visitors- when we were there they were doing an origami workshop, which seemed very fun. However, our kids weren't up For it- so we did not participate. Would definitely visit again in the future!

The parking fee is....fair which means you only need to come here once or twice a year. To get to the Japanese garden you need to walk a bit to find the big gate? In terms of size it is medium length. Still being built yet good enough to walk around. Lots of lush green views and refined scenery verdant for miles. You could even think of it as a mini nature get away from the busy city life It's worth the trip and you could visit the other parks if you have time for it

On the day of the event, their associate, Chay, was on time to meet us to unlock the venue, set up our rented "baby" boxes and to show us how to use their speaker system. The lighting was incredible for a day time baby shower and because they have so many cute plants set up, there wasn't too much that needed to be done as far as decorating goes. All of my guests thought the venue was absolutely adorable. I can't recommend this place enough. It was super affordable had enough parking for all 30 of my guests and clean!
