    Had my wedding recently 4/26/25 and everything was amazing, Donna and her crew worked with us and made sure everything was perfect! I was extremely happy with this beautiful venue and the help we had, highly recommended this place to everyone!

    We now present the Mr & Mrs!

    "A hidden jewel" is a quote you will read over and again about this beautiful ranch; it is so true! On the hunt to find the perfect place to host our wedding, we each individually found the Hurst Ranch and Bashful Butler catering. We saw their event planning page and were delighted to see the variety of menus that were offered and decided to schedule a sit down with an event coordinator. Donna was able to sit down with us, give us a breakdown of all the moving parts, then walked us around the facility, and we fell in love. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and the staff were great. We were able to host the perfect wedding without breaking the bank. We were ecstatic and our guests really enjoyed themselves. Everything was beautiful! Thank you for giving us the perfect night!

    Beautiful venue and great service! Would highly recommend. These are pics from my daughter's Quince.

    The venue was the best! We took pictures, had the ceremony , cocktail hour and the party all in one place! Everything went as planned and my guests said it was the best Quinceañera they've ever been to! Kudos to the whole staff and will highly recommend to all!

    I visited Hurst Ranch in Azusa for an exciting large-scale Yelp Elite event on a rainy day. Situated in a quiet residential area, this rustic-style ranch doubles as both a large event venue and a historic community museum. The large, white structure is the reception area where about 20+ tables surround a stage and dancing floor with bars on the side. The charming, barn-like structures outside is the museum section where visitors can explore the classroom, engine house, and firetruck pump house back from the early 1900s. As former teachers, the excited docents were teeming with joy talking about the ranch and how much they enjoy the churning butter and making crafts with children from local school field trips and special festivals. This beautiful ranch is a great location for medium-large scale events, and a great idea for parents to take kids on a quick afternoon outing to visit the museum section. The community outreach program here is genuine and is a great way to support this historic piece of San Gabriel Valley!

    What a beautiful place. I was fortunate to enjoy attending a Yelp event here and I was truly blown away. Not only is this a fantastic venue for any special event, but it's also occupied by some of the most wonderful ranch care takers. The ranch is located in a residential area across from a school. The original ranch covered over 150 acres of land surrounding the current location. What you see there is what it really was and still remains. This is a true piece of local history which we are fortunate still exists. What was once a fully functional ranch has been drastically down sized but is still being used by those who rent it for special events. Everything on the ranch is authentic, providing a rustic backdrop which is beautiful for any type of event. I was fortunate to meet a Hurst family member while there. She shared stories of growing up on the once fully functional ranch. This is a hidden gem, which although only a fraction of what it once was is still an amazing experience to partake in. Thank you Yelp for the invite to the event. Thank you Hurst Ranch for providing this wonderful venue.

    What a charming wedding venue! My husband and I attended a wedding here on July 2017 and it was so much fun. The ceremony took place outside around 4:30pm on a warm summer evening, and although it was a bit hot at first, it eventually cooled down as the night went on. They do have umbrella stands in the ceremony area which shields some of the sun, so that helped. We then moved indoors for the reception which was comfortably air conditioned. Lots of space for the guests to move around & dance. I loved the twinkle lights that hung across the ceiling too; it made for a very whimsical and fun ambiance. Food & and dessert were also tasty. They had a cash bar and our bartender, Stephanie, was awesome. She did an awesome job serving up some (strong) drinks. ;) Overall, we had a great time celebrating with the bride & groom and dancing the night away. Wouldn't mind coming back here for another wedding :)

    We had our reception at Hurst ranch on 9/25/2021... my husband and I loved the look and how everything was pretty much included- (we just had to get our own dj and someone to decorate). Donna worked with us every step of the way and answered all our questions and set up appointments for us for the food tasting and the cake tasting. We had our walk through and she made sure everything was perfect. The day of the servers and our bartenders were very nice and attentive Our guest complimented us on the food and venue ... it recommend hurst ranch it's such a hidden gem!

    Juat finished our first yelp event at this location. This location itself was pretty historic. Also they have a museum type feeling with a lot of information. However, today's event was a very good success and we came across some local businesses that we would have never known ever existed. Along with a lot of samples and when I tell you a lot of samples I mean a lot of samples we got our "lunch" plus some free drinks and a whole lot of goodies. I was finally able to met hayley who is the CM for the Inland Empire and got some nice insights about Yelp and her job. Overall this event was very nice being our first yelp event we had awesome fun. Thank You Hurst Ranch and Thank You Yelp.

    Our friends had their wedding here. Nice venue. Not too much parking, so guests will have to park out on the street. We parked next to the school. Walked over in flats without too much issue. The area that they seated us for the ceremony, though, was layered with rocks/pebbles. Girls with heels had a little bit of issue, but not too bad. The rest of the venue was fairly flat and even. Ceremony was nice. Unfortunately, the wireless microphone kept crapping out, so we couldn't hear at least 75% of the wedding . Not cool! If it's a professional setting, I would've thought that they would've tested everything first. The bar area was okay. Thought it was a little kitschy that the venue was serving drinks in those semi-clear, ribbed solo cups (you can get a thousand of those at Costco fairly easy), instead of something a little nicer, like the clear, short cups. It's a wedding, be a little classy! Also, for $7 a drink, kind of a rip-off. Grab beer, instead. At least you'll get 8 fluid ounces instead of 3 ounces (too much ice). They had the actual dinner inside one of the barns. They have lights on the ceiling, which kind of looks nice when you walk in. However, some of the strings were broken and, from a different point of view, it looked like a spider's nest. Food was pretty good, but I'm not sure if they were catered by the venue or if the bride/groom was able to pick what they wanted. Pretty clean areas, though. The actual venue service seemed a little off. Sometimes they acted a little rude, but there were others that were very polite. Lots of parts of the venue where you could definitely potentially do your own decoration if you are crafty. The bride and groom basically made all of their decorations, and they had such an open canvas to do it, that it came out very cute. Overall, it was a nice wedding, but I think it was more because of the bride and groom being awesome people and everyone was there for them.

    Try your luck at tossing some rings for a bottle of wine!

    Hurst Ranch is a cute little 3 acre blast-from-the-past historical venue with a motto of, "preserve the past, harvest the present, plant seed for the future." I've attended various events at this location, but most recently I attended their historical society fundraiser. Being greeted with champagne as you walk in always puts a smile on my face. My tastebuds love being tickled by the bubbly! There were a variety of foods to sample, beers, wine, and spirits. I tried a taste of the moonshine! The silent auction was pretty neat. They also had blackjack, roulette and craps tables set up for you to try your luck at. I enjoyed the music the most... A live big band playing all of the classics! Benny Goodman would have been pretty pleased, I'm sure. They also had some live bluegrass (or country) music as well. I know it's not everyone's cup-of-tea, but it was still a fun evening and for a great cause! How about some sexy pics and vid:

    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.

It proved more difficult when dealing with the owner Scott. I'll start by saying the end result was us rescheduling at the same rate that we booked & our event went well, however it wasn't without hiccups. When rescheduling, we were specifically instructed by Scott to cancel our booking in Peerspace & rebook the new date. That's when issues started. Before cancelling I mentioned how Peerspace won't refund our full amount & Scott replied that whatever isn't refunded will be credited toward the new date. That didn't happen without us constantly reaching out via text, email, & Peerspace. When you request a date on Peerspace it's pending review/approval from Blush, however it charges you immediately. Since we opted for the payment plan that required about half down & remainder later, we were waiting on our refund to book the new date. It never came. When we were finally able to have a phone call with Scott, I couldn't get one word in the entire time he was mansplaining the world of business. He was very patronizing & I swallowed my pride because we just wanted a resolve & to not lose the deposit. I asked very clearly whether he was going to uphold our agreement. He did, but under the condition that we pay the remainder of our balance upfront in good faith to them. We did & that was that. Thereafter, it was back & forth whether Chris would still be working our event which Scott said he was. Chris was the saving grace of Blush in our opinion. Customer service & how you treat people is king, so it put our hearts at ease. But not for long, since it was changed later to Jin. Getting Jin to respond was difficult. We requested a final walk through with our coordinator about a month before our event. Jin told us he wasn't feeling well & wasn't present for most of the walk through. So we asked questions via email instead. I specifically mentioned a clean facility is important to us. The place just wasn't as polished as we first saw it. He was responsive only after I'd send text follow ups. The week of, not at all. I was waiting on confirmation about our drink selection which I never got & we just hoped it would all work out the day of. Day of our coordinator arrived first. The bathrooms were clean but the bar, cocktail tables, mirror hallway, & front door were full of fingerprints and sticky as if not cleaned from a previous event. We were told there would be 2 staff & that they'd be able to help us move cocktail tables. We weren't aware one of those people would be Jin & he wasn't helpful at all. He completely ignored our coordinator & aunt, but jumped to help our DJ with the sound system. We can only conclude it's because our DJ is a man & as a same sex female couple that leaves such a bad taste in our mouths. Our coordinator & aunt ended up cleaning everything with the one rag & spray bottle he gave after we repeated asked. Coordinator, wife, son, & I moved the heavy tables/ottomans. The drinks didn't taste like our selections. But the worst part was that he started charging our guests upon arrival. My wife & I stepped away to change our clothes. We were there 1.5hrs before start time & Jin never approached us or our coordinator for our card. He also had our itinerary ahead of time and met our coordinator. FYI on top of booking fees, you're also required to use their bar service for ALL drinks alcohol/nonalcohol which is included info on Peerspace. We agreed we'd cover the required minimum of $2500 & once we reached that amount it would turn into a cash bar. Our guests approached us confused about the bar so my wife personally went to Jin & asked why people were being charged, to which he responded "I couldn't find you guys." They immediately include their tip, which we weren't aware of, so drinks totaled to about $2100 w/ the remainder being tax/tip. They continuously ran out of cups & had zero cups for the water dispensers. We were refilling used water bottles to give to the kids. My aunt & cousin were busing tables. Bartenders didn't care to stay quiet or hold drink orders during vows. Every video we have of our vows is them shaking drinks & slamming glassware. There were good things too, kinda. It wasn't communicated to us that the front bathroom was for staff only & we had a outfit change planned, so after first saying no, Jin ended up letting my wife & I use the front bathroom. Also him assisting our DJ resulted in the music going well. It's sadly overshadowed by all the other things that needed improvement. It comes down to a lack of customer service & professional decorum, because the venue itself is beautiful. We gave a final 3 STARS because everything came together. Those missing components are just so vital. A work day for them is literally someone else's most important day that they're choosing and paying to celebrate at Blush.
