Jennifer is the best. She accommodated our every need and was a pleasure to work with. Her security team was on top of everything. Highly recommend this venue for your events. read more

Eden Garden is definitely a scam. About a week and a half ago they called to inform us that an event which had been booked, scheduled, and multiple vendors payed for, needed to be moved to another venue due to some red tape the owner Raja was experiencing with the city of Elk Grove. The booking was made back in January. we had seen the previous review and reached out about two weeks prior to the wedding. The owner assured us everything would be fine. Then one week prior to the event, the venue was visited and the owner and his daughter Uniqua assured us there were no issues and the event would take place as scheduled and anticipated. Fast forward to two days before the wedding at 7:30 P.M. Raja calls and states there is a problem and to come in tomorrow morning to look at alternate venues. Honestly the owner Raja attempts to tell you a great story and attempts to tell you that he will find you a "better venue" and will pay for the costs from his "own pockets." Don't fall for it. He clearly knew he had red tape and issues as he began some outdoor construction prior to city approval. He will string you along so there is no time to react or look for an alternative venue. We ended up having to rearrange 270 guests, caterers, photographers, DJ's. Please....Please....use a different place. You are only going to experience heartache and stress as this father daughter duo attempts to scam you out of your hard earned money and cheat you out of whatever memories you would have of your event. The more people that ignore the reviews only emboldens these folks to continue with their shenanigans. read more

This venue is visually STUNNING. I highly recommend viewing their web page to take in yourself. The two events I've attended, included photographers (therefore I did NOT intrude on their work, lighting, or otherwise.) Back to the facility itself, it is STUNNING. The management is VERY friendly and accommodating. Both events were multi-cultural, which is the vibe, feel AND purpose of the venue. Every single detail was perfect. The lighting, the decor, the catering, the sound. I highly recommend looking into Eden Gardens for your event. STUNNING! read more

Zero star but would let me rate zero read more

Our wedding was 10/02/2021. I'm extremely satisfied with the service we received. Uniqua was absolutely amazing. We originally had our date set for 10/10/2020, but COVID interfered with our original planning. Uniqua is flexible, understanding and in general very helpful. I worked with here back and forth for about two years. We reserved this place back in 2019. The place is remodeled, up and running beautifully. I also gained a friend in this process. Thank you, Thank you! read more

I actually read a few negative reviews after me and my fiancé had already booked our reservation for this hall. I have no regrets, though. First off, I just wanted to say that Uniqua was amazing. She helped us with all of the details and accommodated us very well. This was a very VERY rushed wedding. Uniqua helped us every step of the way. One thing that stood out to me and the main reason we chose this place was because they were so chill and not at all strict like other places that I looked at. One of the main things that drove me away from other venues was that they would require you to use their vendors such as catering, DJ, decorating, etc. This place however had their own kitchen(where you can cook or your own catering company can cook), buffet room, bridal room, bathrooms, and the main reception hall(which is beautiful by the way). Anyway, we had an amazing night. All of our guests had so much fun and we even had people asking about the hall just by looking at our wedding photos. read more

What a fantastic venue/space! I attended a two-day wedding event here. Each evening was different with decorations/set up and the venue transformed the room beautifully. The staff was friendly and attentive. They kept the areas clean, bathrooms tidy and everyone happy. read more

Booked this place for my wedding and they canceled on me 2 days before my wedding. So fucken pissed! They deserve to burn for this so freaking mad.. you have no idea!! Owner should go to hell! read more

If I could give this venue negative stars I would. They cancelled the reserved event two days before the wedding. This is a separate review from the other ones on this site from 30 days ago. I was so surprised and upset that this happened, but then came here to yelp only to find those other reviews with the same exact thing happening to them. I would highly recommend taking your business elsewhere as to ensure that this does not happen to you. read more

This venue is stunning and the staff is amazing. The owners, Raj and Uniqua make sure all of the important details are handled flawlessly! Be sure to call in advance, im sure this place gets booked up. Trust them with your next event, you will not be disappointed!! read more

The place is fantastic. I searched various venues throughout Sacramento and bay area and this by far is the best venue for engagement/wedding or any big occasion. The vibe of the venue is very appealing and attractive. Uniqua was very helpful in coordinating our whole engagement event right from consultation to the day of the event. They have amazing inventory of silver ware, tablecloth and center pieces to choose from. Thank you, Eden gardens, for making our event successful read more

We had a big party for my husband's 50th and my daughter's 7th birthday at Eden Gardens on Feb. 27, 2016. We had a little over a month to prepare and look for a venue for a double birthday celebration for my husband and my daughter. I called Eden Gardens, and we were lucky that their place was available on the date that we needed it. Given my anticipated number of guests which is around 130 people, Adeel offered their 2nd location which is in Fulton and Marconi (the 1st being the one on Bradshaw--- which is huge and can accommodate over 900 people). When we checked out the place, I wasn't very impressed with the location. Also, it was in an old building. We had to make an appointment to see it. It was not a problem though, because Adeel was very accommodating, and always tried to work around our schedule. The place was locked and seemed like it is only used for some functions and events. Nonetheless, upon my ocular inspection, the venue itself looked promising and had a lot of potential when dressed up and decorated well. Adeel showed me some pictures and a video of a previous event that they have serviced. We sat and met with Adeel and discussed about the details of our event --- both our needs and wants. He was very flexible... he provided us with a lot of freebies, as long as we let them do the decoration, and, although there was an additional fee, we were so glad we did!!! He also recommended/offered an outside decorator that can help us with all our decor needs - Tanya. They worked as a team. I also met with Tanya, and together we shared ideas... brainstormed and came up with the plan. I had a set budget, and they did their best to work with it. Throughout the process, we had constant communication. Both Adeel and Tanya answered all my questions, and every now and then, I would change or modify something, or ask to add something, and they would always accommodate those. They worked with me the whole entire time. The night before the event, Adeel and Tanya allowed me and my family to visit the place, while Tanya was starting to put up the decorations. We even had a chance to practice our performance prior to the day itself. On the day of the event, I got a little stressed and worried that the decor and set-up might not be finished on time. All Adeel had to say was --- whatever they promised to do, they will deliver. AND THEY DID! We arrived at the venue 30 mins early and I was in tears when I saw the place! It was gorgeous!!! I am a very meticulous person... I always have the eye for attention to the littlest details... and I must say Tanya really did an awesome job --- everything looked elegant, glamorous, tasteful. I remember giving her a big hug and thanking her so much... I was very delighted with what I saw. Everything was how I imagined them to be --- maybe even more. Of course, the birthday celebrants - my husband and my little princess - were equally delighted. It was beyond awesome!!!! Even our guests were raving about everything. The pictures say it all. Adeel and Tanya, you guys rock!!! Thank you so much for making our event the best that it could be! We now have a permanent place to go to for our future celebrations. Some facts for general info: Remember that they will customize everything according to your needs and budget! Tables and chairs setup: you have choices -- round, square, rectangular. Brown or crystal chairs Decors: you can do it yourself, but they do have everything!!! Table cloths, centerpieces, custom backdrops, crystal chairs, red carpet, drapes, dancefloor, mirrors, and a lot more!!! Chinaware and silverware: they can provide, or your caterer can provide as well DJ and sound system and lights: bring your own Catering: bring your own, or they have some contacts too Alcoholic drinks/bar: optional. you are required to hire security for the duration of the event, only if serving alcohol Bathroom: not very pristine, and a long hallway walk from the function room, just okay Parking: huge, tons of spaces Clean-up: they take care of it, although we decided to help the guy that night. read more

This is a local event center here in Elk Grove. I have been a resident in this area since 1993 and have seen the building initially used as a church prior to the new ownership converting it into an event center. Below you will find a few observations during a events I've attended here: 1) note that most if not all of the pictures that are on the Yelp page are posted by staff members and make the event center look nicer,larger and don't show the true size. 2) while attending an event I noticed that the restrooms had a bad smell as if they had not been cleaned in a while or lacked the proper maintenance you would expect in a event center. They also leave drink cups near the toilets i'm guessing to be used as cleaning apparatuses. 3) The building from the exterior is dated as well as the design concept, the color scheme gave it a mid 80s feel. 4) location lacks the wow factor when doing a special event. It is between some farm land, across the street are several homes that lack yard maintenance. If the wind is blowing the right direction you can smell the horse poop both inside and outside the venue. 5) Staff members lacked professionalism and seemed to monitor your actions as if you were a criminal. A very unwelcoming feeling. I think this place could be allot better then it really is if the staff put in some much needed updates and take a business course on customer service. read more

We had our wedding here on the 29th of Dec. A beautiful hall but more importantly, the owner, Raj and his daughter, did everything they can to ensure the hall looked stunning, people felt comfortable and safe, and that everything ran smoothly. Thank you for doing your part and ensuring we had a memorable night!!! read more

This place is a wonderful venue for any event. I had the pleasure of taking part in a religious event here. The acoustics were excellent, the interior and decor was beautiful and the staff was full of humility and kindness. The owner of this spot is a really good generous dude. This way this place runs it feels like they prioritize the guests experience over their own profit margins. read more

I wish I could give them 0 stars!! They called my wedding planner 2 days before my wedding and told us we had to change venues. 2 freaking days!!!!! We traveled from out of state to have this wedding and last minute they had "renovation's" that were not informed to us in advance. We put down a deposit MONTHS before our wedding date so they had plenty of time to inform us, so we could make the accomodations needed but they chose to wait 2 days before. They moved us to a more cheap looking location, the owner was dodging us and didn't even speak to us. It was a major inconvenience to us and our guests. It caused so much stress. I should have taken the advice of all the negative reviews. I cannot believe they are still standing and in business. They are very unprofessional and unapologetic. They ruined my wedding experience. I believe in karma and I hope they receive it soon. No one deserves to be put in such a stressful position because the venue owner is not professional enough. If I was given at least 3 weeks in advance, maybe things would have been fine but 2 days?? My wedding planner kept in touch with one of the workers there and each time my wedding planner was assured things were fine. I believe this place is a scam and the good reviews are fake. I am angry and upset at how they went about things the way they did. We paid a lot of money for that venue, to be treated horribly. I would not use this venue, save your sanity and go with someone more trustworthy. read more

Very beautiful event center and price is fairly reasonable. Owner works with you to get you what you need for your event.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while, and finally got around to doing it! I threw my sister a surprise 50th birthday party in the beginning of 2019. I found the hall through a friend who had a wedding here, and I am so glad I was recommended to Eden Gardens! From the day I went to see the venue, to the multiple appointments I made, and until the very day of our event, all of my expectations were exceeded. The owners, Raj and Uniqua were always there whenever I called to ask any questions or make appointments. I came into this never having planned a party, and they helped me find all my vendors, and helped me choose beautiful decor exactly how described to them my sister's likes. My sister and all of our friends and family were so happy throughout the entire party, and still talk about how much fun we all had there last year! I definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for any type of event! read more

Wow oh wow lost for words... I called them and I was really confused they just picked up and said, hello. I thought I was calling the wrong number I'm from out of town and not familiar with the area, so I thought it would be helpful to call them and ask if they had hotel Referals since they are an event planners/center. The man told me to look on yelp. Hopefully our friends wedding experience goes smother then that call... read more

The young woman that works there needs to be at McDonald's. She obviously doesn't care if the place books or not. I called four times and all she says is "hello" "hello" and pretends she doesn't here you. I feel terrible for the owner as I'm sure he or she doesn't know. Anyway I hope he reads these reviews as his business could be doing a lot better with someone more responsible that cares about their work. read more

Gorgeous place we will use again! Raj was easy to work with and provides us with great service!!

Hello, Had my event here on March 3 for about 75 people . Raj was amazing , and worked with me and was able to provide me with everything that I requested. They have everything available there , dinnerware , hot trays , cutlery , napkins and etc. Very beautiful and up to date in the inside, also they are able to customize light colors and such, everything is provided with rental service . good service and friendly . read more

Place was horrible.. Owners and service weren't friendly and they over charge. Do not use this place for a wedding or birthday. Food was disgusting and the chicken was raw!! People could have died! If I could have gave this place no stars then I would have!! Never coming back!! read more

I recently had the opportunity to work with Eden Gardens Design team for my daughters first birthday party. Rameen and her team worked tirelessly to exceed my expectations on the cake table and entrance table. They took my vision and made it a genuine reality, furthermore they came prepared with extra decor to enhance the ambiance even more. I can say that she made a great effort to make my daughters birthday party a memorable one for my family and friends. I highly recommend working with the Eden Garden design team to anyone looking to make their dream party decor a reality without all the stress of doing it yourself. Thank you once again! read more

My wedding is less than 4 weeks away and I can not wait to have it at Eden Garden!!!!! The staff has been nothing but accommodating and wonderful through out the entire process. They have free consultations to check out the venue space, so that is awesome and a huge plus. Juanita the director is wonderful and shows the upmost confidence in that my wedding will be just as I wanted. I can't wait for the big day!!!! read more

What a FANTASTIC venue! My husband and I hosted our son's first birthday party at the Fulton location, and we are so happy that we chose to go with this spot. From the first day I went in to meet Adeel, he was so welcoming and very understanding. i had a budget set, and Adeel was very understanding. Every time i needed to talk to Adeel ( which iT was often) he ALWAYS made time to keep in contact. I am normally the type to know exactly what I'm gonna get with my money, but Adeel gave me his word that everything was going to be beautiful. And sure enough, it was just as beautiful as i imagined it. Adeel, Tanya and Jaunita made my son's birthday beautiful and EVERYBODY that attended the party was so in love with the venue and how beautiful the decoration was. Tanya and her crew did an amazing job with the decoration, and it has to be the best party I've ever hosted. I even had some of my guests asked me how did i go about with booking them. We're still amazed with how amazing everything was. Adeel showed up on the day of the party and made sure everything was ok, and I was glad to see how much he cared . i can go on and on about how happy my husband and i were with everything, but all i can say is that this venue and the staffs were amazing! We had a BLAST on my son's birthday, and my husband and I are so happy that we found this place. THEY ARE AWESOME!!! read more

I wish I read the other yelp reviews sooner but at least they gave us 3 weeks before our wedding to cancel and try to move the venue a few cities away. We booked with them back in February and Luckily we found a place still in town that was available on such short notice and it's not with these people at all. Please if you are reading this and all the other posts don't even bother with this place and raj. The place is beautiful don't get me wrong but the ownership is the worst ever! They canceled saying something about the city closed them down over a water pipe issue but I don't believe it. they had the audacity to cancel on Labor Day weekend as well knowing how hard it would be to find a new place on a holiday weekend with less than 3 weeks until the wedding. Plus the venue they tried to send us to was over a hour away and was under construction as well! The guy at the other location when he asked when our wedding was and we told him the date he was shocked it was so soon as if he had no idea of the day which we were assured these supposed other venues knew of the situation! If they have been canceling people since around the time we booked and signed the contract Why would they inform us less than a month if before event! he showed us the binder full of people booked up until 2020 that will likely all have the same out come as us. They have caused so much pain and stress to not only us but dozens of more newlywed couples and probably more to come! I don't understand why they never mentioned anything to us when we booked or as soon as these issues supposedly started which he said we are the first it happened to which obviously is BS since there are reviews older than mine already. DONT USE THESE PEOPLE!!! Please just go somewhere else not affiliated with them. read more

My husband and I had a FANTASTIC wedding here. Rameen and her family took such good care of us. The decor was gorgeous and they made sure to meet all of our special requests. They custom built an arch for my wedding ceremony. The price was beyond reasonable as well and included decor, servers, bartenders, and security. We had over 500 guests and everyone said it was the best wedding they had been to in their life. We paid in total what other venues wanted to charge just for the facility alone. I highly recommend this place! If you are patient and able to work with them on your vision for your wedding, they will not disappoint and will do it at a far cheaper price than any place in the area. The negative reviews on here clearly didn't even work with them. These people are nothing but generous and hard working. read more

My wife and I got married here and we had such an exceptional experience with the entire staff! Everything was just as expected and more, our guests raved about how beautiful the main hall was as well as our outside vendors saying that if they forgot something or needed anything, Eden's staff was there to help accommodate them. I will forever be grateful for everything Eden did to make our day so beautiful! Thank you to Adeel, Juanita, Donnie and the crew to ensure our day was perfect! read more

Oh man where do I start? My wife and I recently photographed a wedding at Eden Gardens and this place was very impressive. I think one of the things we noticed right away was the amount of space it has. From the outside it doesn't nearly look as big as it truly is. The event center was big enough to hold a beautiful ceremony and set up a reception area without either overlapping. If has both a kitchen area, restroom area, and spacious lobby area that are all completely separate from your guest. The bride and groom used the lobby area for their photo booth, as photographers we thought this was awesome because there weren't tons of people in line for the booth in her wedding photos. There is an upstairs balcony that makes for some great shots as well. The place was classy and elegant with so much potential for what ever type of event you are looking to host. We had such a wonderful time shooting here, we highly recommend this venue!! read more
