After planning my dad's 70th birthday party last year and doing literally everything myself at a different venue, I knew this time around I wanted a place where I could actually enjoy the celebration. This venue exceeded my expectations and took so much off my plate. The owner, Gilbert, was amazing from beginning to end. He was kind, generous, flexible, and incredibly easy to work with. Whenever I had a question, he responded to my texts in a timely manner and always found a way to help. His communication and willingness to work with me made the entire planning process so much easier. The venue itself is beautiful. They have two newly renovated banquet rooms at their Bell Gardens location, along with their own parking lot. We used the smaller room, which holds around 80 guests, and it was the perfect size for our celebration. The package included so much--the food, linens, tables, chairs, plating, and even beautiful centerpieces that I was able to borrow. They also have gorgeous, Instagram-worthy backdrops, including greenery and floral walls, beautiful lighting, and a really nice bar area. And one of my favorite surprises was that the birthday cake and delivery were included! I didn't have to worry about ordering, picking up, or transporting a cake, which was one less thing for me to think about. The venue also included a bartender, while allowing us to provide our own alcohol and drinks. This was a huge plus because many of the other venues I contacted had very strict policies requiring you to purchase their alcohol, use their vendors, or prohibiting outside food and treats altogether. I really appreciated the freedom and flexibility this venue offered. There are also speakers throughout the venue if you want to play music directly from your phone. We didn't end up using them because we had our own music setup, but it's a great option to have. They also have TV screens, which gave us another way to personalize the celebration. We displayed a childhood photo of my mom on one of the screens, and at the bar we displayed a custom drink menu we created for the party. Security was another feature I really appreciated. With another banquet room right next door, security helped direct guests to the correct party and kept an eye on the property. It gave everyone peace of mind, and we didn't have to worry about constantly checking our cars or belongings outside. Our guests felt safe and comfortable throughout the evening. The decorating options were also fantastic. They allowed me to come in early the morning of the event, and because there wasn't another party scheduled the day before, they even let me decorate the day before! I had called so many other venues while researching, and none of them offered that option. Being able to get everything set up ahead of time made a huge difference for me. During the party, the staff continued to be wonderful. They were attentive, helpful, and even cleaned up throughout the event, allowing us to focus on celebrating instead of worrying about the cleanup. Another pleasant surprise was the price. Even with everything that was included, we paid a little less than we did for my dad's party last year at a different venue--and at that party, I had to handle practically everything myself. Most importantly, my family and friends loved it. After the party, several people reached out to me saying, "That place was so nice! How did you find it?" Everyone commented on the delicious food, how friendly the staff was, and how beautiful the venue looked. Hearing that from our guests meant so much to me. I am so grateful we chose this venue for such an important milestone. Gilbert and his team helped make my mom's 70th birthday truly special, and I would absolutely love to have another family celebration here in the future. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with great food, wonderful service, flexibility, and so many extras included, I highly recommend this place. You can actually enjoy your event instead of spending the entire time worrying about the details.

Planning a quinceañera can be extremely stressful, but they made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Everything is included, and their service from beginning to end was truly exceptional. They were always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we had. On the day of the quinceañera, they were incredibly attentive. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and was exactly how I had pictured it for my daughter's special day. The bartenders were fast and efficient, even though my family kept them extremely busy! The waiters were very attentive and made sure everyone had their food, and the security staff was also very kind, professional, and aware of everything happening throughout the night. I will be forever grateful to the owner and the entire Coronel Banquet Hall team for helping make my daughter's dream quinceañera come true. It was such a beautiful and unforgettable night, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important milestone.

We received many compliments from our guests about the venue and the overall experience. Unfortunately, our experience with the owner was very different. While he fulfilled everything outlined in our contract, his interactions during setup made the process much more stressful than it needed to be. Our set up and rehearsal felt uncomfortable after being spoken to sharply, including being reprimanded for leaning on a table. When I politely asked if we could add one additional table (at a cost, if at all possible)), I was also met with a raised voice. It was a simple question. I wasn't demanding or accusatory, but he became extremely defensive. Throughout setup, it felt as though we were being closely monitored rather than supported. To be fair, the venue honored every part of our agreement, and I appreciate that. However, hospitality is about more than fulfilling a contract. On such an important day, I hoped for a little flexibility, warmth, and kindness. Because of that experience, I personally would have a hard time recommending the venue, despite the beautiful facility and wonderful staff.
