This place is awesome went to the piston and brunch car show. Lots of great food and friendly people.

This would be an awesome venue to throw a party/wedding at. It is a classic car show room full of plenty of signage and photo ops. There is a full bar, kitchen, stage and plenty of room for fun. They have really cool Jack Daniel Whiskey Barrel tables with bar stolls. I came here on a Sunday for the third Sunday of the month Pistons and brunch car show. The showroom was open for us to explore. Food and drinks were available to purchase. Plenty of parking. Now please invite me if you have a party and dont forget my plus one. read more

This is such a cool venue! The atmosphere is incredibly eclectic and catchy - it feels like stepping into a vintage warehouse filled with classic cars, memorabilia, and video games. The space has a fantastic industrial vibe with plenty of character. From what I could tell as an attendee, it appears to be a rental venue where you can bring your own food and customize the setup to your liking. The bar area adds a nice touch to the overall experience. While I don't have all the details about pricing or booking (since I was just a guest), I can definitely say this place has serious wow factor. If you're looking for a memorable venue with personality, this spot delivers. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Just getting this review finally out. On February 21, my husband and I went to Hwy 39 for an event for my child's school. This is a unique place for a party/event with all the classic cars. However, as my husband and I and another couple were about to leave I saw the manager, Michael K (as I see his picture on this site) approached a young female and raise his hands to scream at her, "What the F#@* are you doing." He continued to scream at her in front of other guests and employes. We could clearly hear him over the band playing. I felt so bad for this girl as she was completely humiliated. What ever the issue was, he could have handled it in a kinder manner. I have read other google and yahoo reviews and this seems to be a recurring issue. this man should NEVER raise his voise like this to others. He clearly has anger issues. Sadly, after seeing this, I will not recomend this event center, nor will I ever go there again! read more

My wife and I were invited to attend a dinner for our friend's birthday. What a great party! The dinner was delicious and the whole event was handled so well. Congratulations to the Highway 39 team for hosting such an amazing party. read more

Staff so friendly, I felt special and recognized. Thank you Jim, for soda waters with a twist of lime, perfect. I enjoyed walking around the cars, beautiful selection. Job well done! I would recommend this event center for your private party, it felt spacious. Sincerely, Magnolia HS 50th Reunion, Kim By the way, I went to the picture booth, most of us would have loved more Led Zeplin, we had space for live music. I don't know what I stood up there for a class union picture? I thought everything was perfect. read more

Beautiful place, great venue with the beautiful cars, highly recommend this hidden gem.

The Flyers and advertisements for this 50th year reunion posted several times that this facility would be having pictures, class photos, music from the 70's, etc; none of the above were present. Food was mediocre, parking and building location were not in the best of areas it appeared to be more of a warehouse than a meet and greet/reunion location. The event itself was overpriced. For what we received. The sound system was also way under par. Bartender was condescending. This facility lended no elegance, and we have had far better locations, food photos, and music at other locations within the past 50 years. We drove a total of 800 miles and 14 hours round trip for this event and were disappointed. Other than a car show, I can't think of many other reasons for this type of location for your events as well. read more

Westminster High School, Class of '74 just had their 50th reunion here. What a fabulous venue for our event. Everything was managed to perfection by our Reunion Committee and the Venue Staff together. It was a perfect place to walk down memory lane admiring the cars too! My friend and I felt safe going in and leaving as there was a super nice man showing us where to park and that we knew where we needed to be. I would consider Highway 39 Event Center for any special occasion you have coming up! Candie Danes Thompson read more

Be careful if you're thinking about having an event at Highway 39 Event Center. This is a CAR SHOW, nothing more. Its a warehouse full of older Chevies. We had a reunion there which cost $9,500 for 75 people - that's $126 and you get a cafeteria-style meal on paper plates and plastic forks and cups. That price did not include centerpieces and other decorations, raffle prizes, etc., etc. (which is normal), but they were additional expenses for us. The menu was nothing special, either. For $35 a person you get either Hamburgers & Hot dogs OR Pasta OR BBQ Brisket and Chicken. (This does not include the $3,000 rental fee for the event center and several other charges). But you can get the same Brisket & Chicken dinner for $15 every 3rd Sunday at the car show - and there's a live band! The manager is very unprofessional and can spot a sucker a mile away. Don't fall for it! The venue was so expensive we had to do without a band or photographer. We had 5 hours of music on a thumb drive, which Micheal wouldn't play because he said "we've had 4 reunions here lately and we already have music". WHAT??? We had fun but that was only due to our alumni re-connecting. Many people commented they would rather have gone someplace else. One that didn't come with such a high price tag so that more of our alumni could have afforded to go. (We're all retired). Skip this place unless you're looking for old Chevy cars. read more

First time here! Great venue for a party. Big open space and lots of cars to check out. We were here for a Christmas party with a buffet dinner and cash bar. Wasn't expecting too much with a buffet dinner but everything was very tasty. Roasted vegetables, potatoes, beef, chicken and Mahi mahi. Loved the veggies and I the fish which was delicious. Oh and salad and rolls too. All very good. The only thing not good was the dessert, didn't get any! They ran out!! Otherwise I really liked the place. read more

I love this event center. If you are into old cars and nostalgia, you'll love it . The have a car show outside the venue where you can bring your old classic. It is usually on a Sunday, once a month - they serve brunch as well read more

I found this hidden gem to host a Celebration of Life for my father, who passed away in late 2020. We delayed a service of any kind due to COVID-19, and I was initially looking for an outside venue when I came across Highway 39. My dad was a car guy, through and through, and I like to think he was proud of the celebration of his life we held in this amazing facility! Our guests felt safe as there was plenty of space, they enjoyed the automotive eye-candy, and it was all-around the perfect spot to host this event! Michael, Kim & Moses were all great to work with. They were patient with me, though I think I tried their patience a bit as I tend to run up against (and maybe past) deadlines, but they remained professional throughout. Moses did an amazing job with the AV and was a lifesaver! The food was delicious, the venue clean (Michael said he is proud to have the cleanest women's room around, and he does!), and everyone had a great time. Thank you, Michael & team, we appreciate have held such an important event at your facility! read more

Highway 39 Event Center - Are you kidding me, BOB'S BIG BOY and Classic Cars! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Anaheim, California

This place is a hidden GEM. We were kindly invited to attend the CarShow that takes place every last Thursday of each month. We were blown away! The MUSIC. The CARS. The ATMOSPHERE. The TACOS. The RAFFLE. Family friendly! We can't wait to come back read more

The room is spacious and the buffet was good. The cars are pretty awesome but didn't get in the way of socializing with old friends. There was plenty of parking. All in all a really good place for a large- group event. Thank you! read more

Just had our 50th reunion here. Not what we wanted for such a great event. It is just a large warehouse with some old cars in it. The appetizers were served to you unless you were walking around the venue, then you did not get any appitizer at all.The food was mediocre not served to us at the table. We had to line up like a buffet to be handed our paper plate of food and plastic ware to eat with. Desert was store bought cookies and brownie bites. No band or music, and no photographer. One person decided on this venue, reserved it and did not take into account what the committee wanted. read more

50th Class Reunion, I thought all went well. Food good, staff wonderful, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The display of old Chevys was nostalgic, a reminder of the days when we were young, handsome and still had hair. read more

I can't say enough about Hwy 39 Event Center. Best venue I have been to in I don't know how long. Had our 50 year High School reunion here.. Everyone had a blast. I can't praise Micheal and his staff enough. From beginning to end everything went off without a problem. Micheal was the best to work with. He catered to all of our whims and changes... Can't thank him enough. The food was excellent... The staff is the best from the Bartenders to Security. All were friendly and very attentive to our event. Thanks to all for a memorable evening. I would also like to mention that the car show's are awesome as well... read more

I attended an evening function here this past weekend and was completely blown away by the space. While on the outside looks very simple and plain, the interior has a sort of industrial, but retro and glamorous feel. It kind of feels like you're in a millionaires posh garage. Haha... Prior to entering the main area there's a small room where you can set up checkin along with some other vintage items including a Big Bob Boy statute and jukebox (although I think it's defunct). You then enter spacious main room which is decorated with many beautiful vintage cars. At the event i attended there was a mini stage set up for a DJ, a dessert bar and real bar, and chairs and tables scattered throughout the room for guests to enjoy. The event I attended accommodated at least 400 guests so if you're in the market for a corporate event, wedding, or formal function this is a great swanky venue that will really impress your guests (especially if they're car junkies). Highly recommended! read more

We just celebrated the 50th High School Reunion (Anaheim High School) and I can't imagine it could have been any better thanks to this amazing venue. It was the PERFECT setting for us to laugh, eat the delicious food they provided, with amazing music and the impressive collection of vintage automobiles. It was the best possible atmosphere! The staff was courteous and accommodating, there was plenty of room for visiting and we could have danced, but we were all too busy visiting! I highly recommend Highway 39 Event Center!!!!

I have had the pleasure of working with this venue on multiple occasions and would highly recommend it! Michael is great to work with and you can tell he cares a lot about the place. He's helpful, diligent, and efficient. I can only imagine any negative reviews came from people who were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing, as he takes his job of looking after the venue very seriously. read more

Wow, this venue was remarkable! I recently attended a work party here and I only have great things to say about the venue itself, the staff and the CARS! You'll geek out...it's really awesome. The space is wonderfully spacious and perfect for large parties. The staff was warm, attentive, considerate and very personable. This place was swanky, clean, and a fun place to take photographs! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good time and a fun, fancy vibe! My friends and I had an unforgettable night. Parking: There is a private lot, but also plenty of street parking. read more

The manager, Michael, has mental health issues and is verbally abusive to guests at events. He will ruin your night and will scream at you if you accidentally forget to put your mask back on after sitting down or taking a picture. His outbursts are loud and embarrass the person he is yelling at, right before he goes outside for a smoke. Michael, I know you're reading this. It's time to ask yourself why so many customers continue to write reviews saying that you have serious anger issues and ruined their event. read more

We celebrated a most wonderful time - Anaheim High School 'Class of '72 - 50 Year Reunion, October 1, 2022 - An excellent venue and special place. So much more than four bare walls. A great selection of professionally restored older cars and memorabilia (not for sale) and overall good vibe. Stage for music and flexible area for dining and dancing. The staff was friendly, the food delicious with plenty of variety, and the full bar was perfect! Overall an excellent venue. Check it out for your next gathering and special event! Just delightful! read more

Want to thank Highway 39 for our AMAZING 50th high school reunion! (1972 Anaheim High) They were fantastic - WONDERFUL FOOD, MUSIC, CREW! I was on the committee - Michael planned it out with us - any questions/needs we had - he took care of all! PERFECT NIGHT! THANK YOU, MICHAEL AND THE CREW! read more

We had our wedding and reception at this gorgeous venue on Oct.19th 2019. The staff was very polite and accommodating to our guests, friends, and family. The food was excellent! Everyone had a great time! Many of our guests mentioned: "This is the BEST wedding I've ever been to!" Michael Keener was helpful in sorting the details. He helped us get a small arcade setup on-site as well! Michael has so many contacts that he can arrange pretty much anything you desire! As Michael would say: "Anything from mild to WILD!" He is a direct personality, and takes safety of personnel and property seriously. That can be off-putting to some people, but if your guests and vendors respect the venue and cars, you're not going to have any problems. All of our guests had a blast! Over-all, the experience was pleasant, and fun. I would love to work with Highway 39 again in the future. read more

An unassuming car lovers dream..... highway 39 is an event center that features Classic cars from 1920's, 30's, 50's, 60's, and 2000's. There are even a few bikes. Staff is very friendly, venue is clean with large bathrooms, large but cozy space for weddings, corporate events, etc. Mike and his wife Kim manage and oversee all scheduling and coordination of the event from the bar service, catering, music, and hosting. read more

We came here for a birthday party, the manager Mike was so rude using profanity words towards my boyfriend he grabbed him by the arm and was forcing him to leave the venue. We left in shock at his behavior towards us. For Mike to react this way over something so diminutive is mind boggling. Never in my life have I felt so disrespected by anyone ! He showed so much anger and rage. If we were rude or disrespectful to him I would understand his reaction towards us ,but that was not the case. My boyfriend was calm throughout the situation but Mike still continued verbally abusing my him. It's a shame such a beautiful venue condones such ugly disgusting disrespectful negative behavior with its employees. read more

For anyone considering holding an event here: The first thing you notice when attending an event at this place is that it is located in a pretty crappy industrial park in Anaheim. The property itself is fairly well-maintained but not at all landscaped. If you have guests arriving to this place, they may be going what the F?? Once you get inside you'll notice it is very clean and well-maintained but once you get past the entryway, the smell hits you. It's the smell of a garage. Because that's what it is. Dozens of beautiful vintage cars and motorcycles, but it smells like oil and fumes and dirt. Do you want your guests to smell that? It is impressive visually. Their sound system is very nice. Great video support. But, as you'll read in other Yelp reviews, the owner/manager/weird guy that runs the place, Michael, is something to be dealt with. He not only just manages your event, he wants to become a part of it. And he is very very particular about how things run at "his" place. Be prepared for some stress there. And guests have reported that he oddly engages them. And he and his staff all wear those crappy, garagey,two tone short sleeve shirts that guys who like cars think look so cool. He will also get angry if you don't hire his band. The place is fairly affordable for events, but is it worth saving a couple of bucks to have to deal with that guy? I don't think so. The two stars are for the cool cars. read more

This place is amazing! Just had our wedding here last weekend and everything turned out amazing. Michael was very organized, on top of everything and very patient. Food was amazing! We picked Italian and it was so good especially the dinner roll. My quest had amazing time and kept saying how cool this venue was! And some requested to have their birthdays there! Moses, our DJ was so great. He got every song right on point. Thank you Michael and his staff, Our wedding was so magical and will never forget it. Kim! Thank you for everything as well! I really do appreciate you for making our day run smooth. Can't wait to see our wedding pictures with the classic cars and neon lights! read more

What a great place to hold an event such as this. Our 50th high school reunion (class of '72) was a blast thanks to this event center and the organizers Janice and Michael. There was plenty of room to roam around the display of cars and most important to visit with classmates from years prior. In addition to the display of cars there were character drawers, a fun photo booth, and plenty of food. The working crew were helpful, the food was good and visiting with old classmates was priceless. Thank you read more

I can't say enough about Highway 39 Event Center and the venue manager, Michael Keener! We hosted a 100th birthday party for my truly remarkable mother-in-law last Saturday night for about 180 people and it was a fabulous party! The car collection is stellar and was a very pleasant surprise to most of our guests, the majority of whom are car lovers and collectors. Michael and his staff keep everything in the place sparkling clean and in excellent repair. Even the ladies' room is impressive. Michael is very detail-oriented and was on top of absolutely everything before, during, and after the party. We worked with Summit Event Catering, whom Michael recommended, and they did an excellent job. The food and service were excellent and we got many compliments. Since they work at Highway 39 frequently, they are familiar with the venue and know what to expect. Their staff was excellent and very courteous and professional. And since Michael is used to working with their staff, he is able to manage the event more efficiently. Our party grew from our original estimate of 100 people to 190 people, which was a little unnerving for us, but not a problem for Michael. He continually reassured us that everything would go perfectly, and he made absolutely certain that it did. We also hired the DJ and singer that Michael recommended, and couldn't have been more pleased. Moses, the DJ, managed all the moving parts of the party, and there were many, carefully and considerately. He played to the crowd, sensing when the mood and music should be changed up to suit the guests. Moses also worked with the singer, Kayla Renee, to be sure she had the proper backgrounds for her vocals. And what vocals they are! You can see a video of Kayla Renee on the Highway 39 website. She is a terrifically talented young woman who is sure to be a star. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. And we had many, many guests asking us where we found her. They could not believe her talent and incredible stage presence. All I can say is that Highway 39 was the best venue for our party and our guests. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend them to anyone. We couldn't have been happier!! read more

Wow! What a great place to have a successful party- manager Michael and his wife Kim are the most gracious hosts and helped us with everything from food selection to accommodating our band. The venue is unique, large enough to have a wedding, charity event or work party.

It's is located off State College and offers great parking and a glamorous array of vintage lighting and cars for your guests to see during your event. I would highly recommend Highway 39 for your next party! read more
