we had our wedding on September 5th , 2015 at imperial palace and it was exactly how we wanted it. Armen help out in every step. We also made sure to ask a lot of questions. We made sure our vendors can get in in time. made sure what color scheme we wanted. the food was so good and we got to choose what we wanted. we didnt like 2 plates and Armen let us substitute it for other ones. Servers help out. Bartenders where great. we counted all inventory of bottles and was given back what was leftover, Even got leftover food at the end of the wedding day. The hall is very beautiful. Only thing i can say maybe carpet needs to be updated. We had the drapery (EXTRA COST) but definitely worth it. Overall was a great experience and would definitely recommend to family and friends read more

This place is a hidden jewel of a party venue!!! Don't let the name fool you!! It's NOT Chinese food!! Lol.... their middle eastern cuisine is fantastic.... my friend ordered 4 different meats and so many veggie dishes.... their crab salad, Brussel sprouts were fantastic as was their chicken salad.... rice was so light and flaky... Emilia was a fantastic hostess and servers provided great service!!! My next event iys here!!! read more

I used this venue few times.Never been disappointed by quality of service and staff professionalism.Management always not only try to meet your expectations ,but also goes beyond your expectations and will do everything flawlessly . Armen thank you for taking care of us. read more

I 've been to imperial palace twice in the last few years. Once for my then fiance's quincenera and most recently for a wedding where I was a made of honor. First of all let me say that at first glance it appears to be nothing special from the outside, but it's quite a different story on the inside. The interior is a bit gaudy for some as it has a lot of Gold trim and pillar type decorations, but I loved it. I found it to be quite elegant. The staff was decent nobody who stood out but they did their job well enough. The one exception was Armen who I had to deal with for a few adjustments in the schedule and requests from the bride and he was very accommodating and pleasant to work with so if you are planning on looking into booking with them try and ask for Armen. The best thing about this place was the lighting. it was the best i've ever scene at a venue. they have built in lights in the walls that change colors through the night and the dance floor has what i can only describe as a club lighting style system. it made dancing at both events quite memorable as it was a lot better then you're standard DJ lights, though the DJ's lights wern't to shabby either but i digress. It was an open bar for the first two hours and the bartenders were generous with their pours and knew what they were doing after when it was a cash bar the prices were about average with what you would expect. my only one complaint is that the parking situation wasn't the greatest. the street parking was not sufficient and they do have their own small lot, but their was a parking fee which i want expecting and my car got double parked at the wedding so i had trouble leaving for a bit, but i will say that overall it was a good experience and I would recommend them for an event. read more

We had our wedding at the Imperial Palace on October, 18, 2014. Armen and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing experience. The only downside of this place is the location and the fact that it does not have rooms to accommodate the guests. If the banquet hall was in a hotel with a beautiful scene to take photos, they can easily charge 100+ per guest. The place was also undergoing renovations so I was a little disappointed when we pulled up to the venue. But once we got in the hall, we completely forgot the look of the outside and Armen sent platters of food for the starving bridal party. Armen is a very busy man, but he gets things taken care before the wedding. He has a lot of experience with what works in the space, so he can offer a lot of advice. The day of, he was there to make sure everything ran smoothly and always asked me if I was happy with the results. During the cocktail hour, he allowed my in-laws to taste the food before he sent the waiters out with the platters. The staff are so amazing and we could have asked for better service. The food was amazing and the guests were impressed with the variety of top shelf liquor that were served at the bar. We definitely got our money's worth. The best thing about the hall is the lighting system. It set the tone for everything, it went from romantic and soft during dinner, and flashes of different colors when the dance floor opened. They also used a fog machine to make it as if we were floating on a cloud during our first dance. It was AWESOME! Thank you Armen and staff, you guys made our wedding unforgettable read more

Beautiful place. I was looking for a place for my daughters sweet 16 and I knew this was the place for my princess but once I sat down to go over the cost. I realized this place was way over my budget. What he quoted me for the food was pretty decent about 4,600 for 250 guest. Then he quoted the rental for the venue which ended up being around 10,000 yikes!!!!. All and all if you have 15,000 to spare this place is for you. But if you are like me and don't want to take a second mortgage on your house I suggest you go some place else.1 star only because of the outrages cost of the venue. read more

Place seams ok. I called to make a appointment and she told me she had my number and that would be ok. I came in that day and no answer or call back. So waited a little and nothing, so just left. read more

Do yourself and your image a favor and stay away from this place!!! If you want to know why, please keep reading. If you go with them, then told you so! My family got married at this place, and these people are nothing but unprofessional crooks. From the Parking attendant who charged many of our guests twice for the same car, to the security guards who finished ALL of our pastries leaving NOTHING for our guests, to the cooks who cooked up the rice and food so poorly that our guests went and got the double doubles at In-and-out. Can you imagine our embarrassment when 140 guests order their own food from outside? Their food tasted NOTHING like the food they brought for the tasting, so don't fall for that bullshit they feed you. What do you think their response was after this utter embarrassment? "I'm sorry I know, but what can I do? It was simply a bad batch of rice!" and this is coming them. I was thinking are you kidding me? If it was my own wedding I would have had all the guests sign a petition and I would have sued their ass! Unfortunately It doesn't end there, believe it or not there is more. Couple of our guests went to get the appetizers that were laid on the table and this waiter comes by the table and slaps the kid on the hands saying "NO not yet." If I was as ghetto and unclassy as these fools I would have smacked that asshole in the mouth! Their overall service was so poor that my mother had to re--invite all guests to another venue just to regain some of her image and alleviate the utter embarrassment. Summary: 1. Parking attendants are crooks: I paid to park the car, then my cousin takes the car out and pays again. This happened with most our guests 2. Security guards: Went into the kitchen and ate 96 pastries amongst themselves. Our guests had the remaining 12. 3. Food: So bad that our guests bought their own food from In-and-out, and brought it inside from outside. 4. Waiters are so rude and unclassy: They literally assaulted our guests. read more

My wife and I had a Chinese-American wedding at Imperial. There were many positive and negative aspects to going with Imperial. In the end, we felt that the overall positive benefits outweighed the negative. Full details follow. Armen was our main contact. He made a good first impression-professional and friendly. He only communicates via his cell phone though, so we often had to make multiple attempts to contact him and eventually we'd hear back from him. As for as booking, he initially did not have the "lucky day" my wife's parents requested and offered us the following Sunday. We said we would check with the parents and get back to him within a week. Skip to 3 days later, we called Armen to book the date and he already booked another couple! He seemed to have felt bad and made an effort to amend the situation. At the end, he pulled through and got the other couple to switch dates to accommodate us. Armen provided a list of different wedding vendors in the area and put us in contact with 888 Seafood to cater a traditional 10 course Chinese dinner. That was helpful. A few days before the wedding, we had to make a few changes to the table arrangement and Armen was accommodating with this as well. Skip to the wedding reception day! The venue was beautiful inside and out! And thankfully they actually had signage put up (although we told people the place was called Imperial Palace at the time, and they switched it to just "Imperial"). Their staff was very friendly and helpful to our wedding party in getting things setup. We didn't actually see Armen that much on the actual evening but he did introduced us to some of his staff that was able to help us out throughout the reception. My wedding party had some problems setting up the chocolate fountain and Imperial's staff kindly stepped in to help get it running. TWO technological glitches. Most importantly, the projector for the slideshow presentation just flat out wasn't working. They had a guy on a ladder up trying to fix it for about an hour and a half. Thus, we had to delay opening the main doors to the dinning area. Luckily our DJ had a projector that they allowed us to use. The other glitch, Armen promised we'd be able to put the seating charts on a big screen TV out front, and all he needed were JPGs on a USB drive. Nope, the TV couldn't read the JPGs. He let me use his laptop to convert the JPGs into several different formats, and none of them were readable from the TV. Thankfully we had a paper copy as back up and our wedding party were able to help direct the guests to their proper tables. We brought a LOT of alcohol for the open bar (i.e. gin, bourbon, scotch, vodka, whiskey, patron etc), in addition to the Hennessy that we put on all the tables. Yet the bartending staff didn't display the alcohol on the beautiful shelves behind them. They only placed the wine on the selves but hid all the expensive alcohol behind the counter. A lot of guests didn't know what they had available to them. Some guests said they were only offered wine. The bartender ended up boxing up all the "leftover" alcohol and left it on the floor of the bar area (bar looked empty at the end of the night so you had to look for it on the floor). Oh... and for whatever reason they opened all the bottles of liquor, even if they were unused or two of the same kind. In any case they kept our guests' glasses filled whenever they came up, and did so with a smile. My wife had 2 dress changes to do, and in between we wanted the bridal changing room (along with all of our gifts) locked up. We were told that we had to have the security guard open it for us every time. The security guard said, and I quote, "2, 3, 20 dress changes. Just ask me, I'll be right here" Well I counted at least 3 times we had to go hunting for him and two of those times during the dress changes. Another security guard was just at the bar, chit chatting with the bartender for most of the wedding. Also apparently we didn't find out until after the fact, that we had a sizable number of guests show up late, but the front door was locked after the grand entrance so they turned around and left... There were definitely pros and cons, but here's what our guests tell us: "You guys had a BEAUTIFUL reception." "This is the most beautiful venue I've ever seen, and I've been to some beautiful weddings!" "Wow, the fog that came out on the first dance was so gorgeous!" I told Armen I'd write and honest review, and this is it; we got what we paid for. They gave us a very competitive price for the type of amenities they offered. Their staff was kind and friendly towards our guests and assisted our wedding party without question. Did it go smoothly? I'm sure our guests sure think it did! And THAT is what really matters. In the end, we made beautiful memories for everyone involved. The little hiccups will fade, and we and our guests will only remember how beautiful it all was. Thank you, Imperial! read more

I attended a wedding here and everything looked nice but wasn't the best organization I've seen. Also the food was pretty bad, it was a Persian wedding and Persians are serious about their rice. It was way undercooked and even though we asked for a replacement, they gave us the same thing. read more

Tells you price one day and changes it next week. I would have loved to book here but the man Armen lies

Beautiful hall, well worth the money spent. Armin is great and knows his business well. He made our event a success and will definitely refer this hall. We recieved a lot of good compliments at our party, the event was a success, and if we had to do it all over again, we would. Thanks Armin. read more

Decor is a little over the top, the food is average at best, but the service was just awful. I would not recommend this place for a special event. read more

I am from Chicago and went to Cali for a wedding and I was shocked as to how beautiful this wedding venue is. The food was amazing, the servers were very nice, the bathroom were kept clean throughout the entire night. I fell in love with this venue. Everyone fit perfect it was not crowded. There were around 200 guest. I loved their steak and white rice. Sadly I live in Chicago but if I lived there I would definitely have my wedding here. read more

I can't say enough good things about this establishment. I had my wedding here and all staff that worked our event did there best to make sure that everything went smoothly. The food is so good and there is an abundance of it so tell ur guests to take there time eating. The manager is the best he really gets it he has a eye for details. The decor is very elegant. I had 170 guests and this place is worth every penny that we spent. So if ur looking for a place that treats u like u matter and that really care about what u want then this is the place for u read more

Wedding on 9/10/11. The venue is adorable. The food was absolutely amazing and presented beautifully. All staff was on point and extremely accommodating. All in all a very comfortable and beautiful setting. A great platform for a successful event. Cash only bar. read more

Absolutely fantastic place. Armen and his team are super helpful, accommodating, and very professional. They made the wedding feel truly magical. The food was great, everybody was talking about it afterwards. I don't know how many good things I could say about this place, there are many. But it's not about the quantity of compliments I can give them, what's more important is that Suzy was happy and we had an incredible experience here that went off without a hitch. You have many options for hosting large events, but I can't imagine going anywhere else -- they really hit top stars on all categories that I could evaluate a place on. Thank you Armen! read more

I recently had my daughter's Quincenera on October 26, 2013. I booked my event 17 months in advance. Since day one, Armen was very professional, kind and helpful. First, I took my daughter to see the hall of her dreams. Later, I returned with my parents & my two aunts. Armen was so polite and wasn't bothered with the fact that he had to show my family the hall. He gave us a tour of the hall, showed us their awesome lighting system, the green room, etc. Then we sat down and he gave me different options for my budget & dates. Everything turned out Gorgeous! Armen is Amazing!! He was very accommodating to all my requests. He was continuously checking to see how everything was and to see if we needed anything else. The food was delicious and A LOT of it!! His staff (cooks, waiters/waitress, bartenders, security guards even the cleaning crew) were all very polite, professional and helpful. They we're very attentive to details. My daughter's colors were purple and silver. Armen illuminated the walls with the purple lights during dinner. Once the dancing started the lights changed colors. Which made the pictures look amazing as well. My daughter had a waltz & a surprise dance. During her surprise dance, Armen changed the lighting system so that the lights would go to the sound of the music. WOW! Is all I have to say! It gave the dance a whole different feel! The guests were really impressed by the venue, food and the wonderful service! My guests keep calling me to tell me to tell how Stunning everything turned out! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IMPERIAL PALACE! It's worth every penny!! Thank you Armen for all your help! read more

I would of given this place a five star, but what I experienced with the staff and Armen is so horrible. Don't get me wrong my wedding at the venue was beautiful, its just a shame that the manager Armen takes advantage. The day of my 2nd deposit he told me I was missing $500 when I know It was in the envelope. My mistake for not counting out the money in front of him. PLEASE PLEASE if you come here, count your cash out for him or he will jip you. 2nd the staff will take your expensive crystal bottles and hide them in the kitchen in the back of the fridge, that's where my wedding planner found mine. I wish they were an honest place and I wish I didn't give them my money. read more

The service inside the hall was great! We received great attention to detail. However, they contract their valet parking to an outside company. Valet was not at the same level as the hall. They mistreated cars. I had several guest call and complain that they discovered damage to their cars. Several cars were scratch and 2 were dented. Unfortunately, because they didn't inspect their car before they left the valets insurance was not able/refusing to cover the damages. One guest had her car parked outside on the street by the valet and had it broken into. They did cover her damaged though because she saw it before she left. This place can be truly great if they hired a new valet company. If you are having your event here please, please, please have your entire guest inspect their cars before they leave. It will prevent unnecessary headaches at a later time. read more

Very nice place. The only complain I have is that the server's hygiene is less than desirable. It's hard to fully enjoy your meal when you smell body odor. The hall is very nice and big, and the valet service is quick. read more

I am actually pretty shocked. I came here for a friend's wedding reception. From the outside, this place doesn't look like much. It looked and reminded me of some of the old veteran's lodges, to be quite honest. Inside, however, this hall was actually pretty nice. With the right type of lighting and decorations, this venue can be made to look exquisite. The restrooms were a lil messy but that's to be expected when there is such a huge event going on. Their bartenders weren't the best but I'm not sure if that was booked through the venue or through some outside vendor. Another thing that I really liked was that there was an outdoor patio. Parking is VERY limited but at the same time, there was plenty of adjacent street parking that was available at no cost. I can't begin to tell you how impressed I was, my wife too. read more

My son attended an event there and had a lot of fun. Plus the place was so nice!! The food was delicious too!

My wedding is next year so I guess I will come back for updates! However as of now, my experience has been great. I only worked/met Armen. So far, he's very nice, patient, and accommodating. =) More updates to come! read more

Couldn't have had a better experience. We got married here February of 2017 and everything was as expected. Our families experienced our wedding in a way that far exceeded our expectations, in which to this day we are extremely grateful. Our stress through our experience was very minimal. Imperial Event can literally handle everything if you choose, and they were more than accommodating with anything that came up throughout the process. The food was amazing, the party was great, everyone had fun. I'm glad everything happened the way it did. We looked around for months, and we both knew this was the place as soon as we walked in. It turned out to be extremely affordable which is what ultimately allowed us to have our dream wedding. The staff is very accommodating with anything and everything you need. From food, to music, to the bar area, and payment of the service itself. We couldn't have been happier. My Wife and I wish everyone at Imperial Event great success! Thank you! read more

I was invited to imperial banquet hall to a wedding truly a nice hall I was talking to the security gaurds they are very nice professional and very helpful there was a fight and officer Arakelian acted very professional at his job and talked every body down people are nice excellent service read more

I had my wedding here April 12 2015 yes Armen at first when we booked was very helpful and nice but our wedding day was a nightmare!!! Nothing was set up our colors we decided and agreed were not set up the tables were still being set up as guest arrived.I feel like we didnt get respect and services due to us not using their food.We also supplied all alcohol and the bar tender got drunk off our drinks wth???? Armen was not on site or anywhere to be found there was even a photographer not hired by me there taking and saleing pictures of my wedding.I feel like we got cheated for all we paid i felt like since our wedding was held on sunday Armen didnt feel as it was important like a saturday 250 guest min wedding.We paid nearly 7 grand for a wedding that looked like it cost 200$ yes the interior was beautiful but what of our colors of the tables? All white when blue was my color i do not reccomend this place at all you can find something cheaper and prettier. read more

This place is BEAUTIFUL & amazing! I had my wedding there on November 8th, 2013. Literally all of my guests raved about the food. We had family style & it was a lot of food & very delicious! Nobody left hungry. On top of that the lighting is great. We had smoke come out on our 1st dance. The hall itself is breathtaking & my wedding was a dream come true. Armen was there most of the night making sure everything went well & was always available during the planning process if I had any questions. Highly recommend this place for wedding. read more

I had a fantastic time here. But of course it was more caused by the event than the venue. The facility was nice and clean. Easy to find. Parking was valet, but there is some street parking if you prefer. I just let valet handle it. read more

I recently had a wedding here and was very impressed with the services and the pricing. Armen was very accommodating to all my requests. The food was delicious and there was a lot of it. The facility was clean and spacious. I liked that without even asking for special lighting and effects, the staff did it anyway (they fogged the dance floor for our first dance!). It was a real pleasure having our wedding here. The only con I could think of is the valet parking. The lot is leased out to another company, but because we wanted our guests to be comfortable and to have ample parking, we settled up front with the parking company. The valet parking, even though a pain, added a touch of additional luxury to the wedding. Overall, I was very happy. read more

We had our daughter's engagement here and we could not be happier with our decision. There is nothing negative to say about this place. The hall is absolutely stunning and newly remodeled. The manager, the coordinator, and the staff there are ALL incredibly caring and nice. They make so much effort to do anything you like. On the day of the event, the coordinator helped with every little detail from the set up to the cleaning. They are so easy to reach and communicate with. I look forward to having other events here in the future! Oh, also, their food is amazing!!!!!!! I highly recommend this hall for any event. Thank you Armin and Amelia! We cannot thank you enough for making the night perfect! I read more

This was the second venue we visited and once inside we both knew this was our venue. We pictured our wedding there and Armen made it happen and price was very reasonable. It was truly our dream wedding! Armen & George were such a big help, I didn't always feel that way since they were constantly busy. However the day of they proved they knew what they were doing. Our wedding was in January and our guest are still telling us how beautiful our venue was and how good the food was. We served chicken lemon capers, rice and veggies. Everyone raved how big the chicken was and they loved the rice! The bartenders were good , the staff was so nice & helpful. We choose the free cake option which was a great deal. Armen also through in for us ice cream as a dessert and appetizers table display during cocktails hr, Thanks Armen!! George made sure everything went well and our wedding day was his birthday. My husband and I are still in awe over our dream wedding! read more

See all

I don't know what the bad reviews are about but do yourself a favor and book your next event here. Nothing but class. I have been to a couple of weddings at this hall and have had the best time. Food was really good as well. My family always gets the special catering they have to offer and it looks beautiful. read more

We had our wedding at Imperial Palace recently. Overall, the venue interior is beautiful (especially with the lighting). The food, especially the appetizers were amazing. Armen understands that bride usually do not get to eat on the wedding day, so he specifically brought me freshly made appetizers before the dinner reception. The bride's changing room looks amazing with all white interior. Armen provided great services, but a few things can be improved. 1. The exterior of the hall was under construction, however, we were not being told about this until we go see the venue. Armen tried to do what he could to improve the look, but I think the venue should have informed us about this earlier instead of waiting for us to go see the venue and be surprise. However, most guests did not pay attention to the the exterior of this venue after they arrived at the venue, so this probably was not a big deal. 2. Since the front was under construction, the imperial palace sign was not there. To assure my guests can find the venue, we agreed to buy ballons for the front. The venue mentioned they will pay for some of the balloons, but I ended up paying my vendor instead. (this is just little things so it did not impact the overall rating). 3. We bought the open bar package, I think everyone having wedding here should. It made the night definitely more fun. The improvement here relates to the timing of the open bar. We bought the package for 5 hours and they told my coordinator that they can only have it for 3 hours. I had to talk to Armen in order to clarify this directly. Further, my guests subsequently told me that the bar did not start serving alcohol until 5;45 pm, but yet, the open bar closes at 10:15 pm. This I could not really verify, but it's just what I heard from my guests. Although there are improvements they have, I enjoyed my wedding night and do think that Armen made me feel like I am a star. read more

STAY AWAY!!!!! I completely agree with Veronica R. I don't really like writing bad reviews, but I am not helping anyone by keeping my mouth shut. Armen is a very nice guy, but it would be nice for him to attend these parties to see what really happens days before and the day of. Everything I was promised DID NOT happen. Armen promised me electronic seating chart, lights, slide show and that Amelia, the coordinator would keep me on my toes ans not to worry. Amelia does not have a heart of gold, she loves to say what you want to hear and loves to argue with you in front of your guest. Food Tasting: I am not going to lie the food is good! What I didn't like is that I never got a call for food tasting and it was too close to the event date. When I made a payment I had to ask for that appointment. After my husband and I picked our appetizers we thought cool mark it off the list, but 2 days before our event Amelia was calling requesting a copy for my list of appetizers. When I asked why do you need a copy if we were there in person, she replied oh just to make sure. Trust me they have an answer for everything. Finalizing Event: Linens/Napkins No problems here. Seating Chart: Amelia gave me a seating chart layout, but failed to tell me one extra table was off limits, and I made the mistake of assigning that table. It would of been nice to know or maybe cross it out off the list so I don't assign that table by mistake. Seating charts can be stressful so its important that details are very clear. It was more awful to see the rude waiter and Amelia kicking my guest out of that table and telling them it does not exist when its clearly visible. Lights: I told Amelia how many people will be making the grand entrance, and she turns off the lights on one of the maids. This was so embarrassing because she came out dark in the pictures and her poor mom couldn't get a good picture. Praying our photographer got a good one with his flash. Her excuse " I am doing my best and I am not a technician" Slide Show: My sister created a very nice slide show with audio, but she failed me there to. We brought our Ipad with HDMI cord and Amelia still couldn't figure it out. We tested it at home and saw it on my TV. She sent me away and asked me for dvd instead. At this time we were running out of time and my brother put the video into a dvd. My brother also put it into a flashdrive bc I kept hearing excuses after excuse. I show up a day before and Amelia could not get the dvd to play. At this point I was losing my mind and told Amelia to figure something out bc i shouldn't be going through this. I gave her my flash drive and she called me to tell me to tell me she figured it out. I trusted her because Armen told her to help me, not because she wanted to. The slide show took forever to play and it was horrible, she cut out the beginning, you couldn't even hear the music. My Dj had to step in and play the music and we made her play the DVD. Amelia's excuse for not figuring out slide show was that she wasn't a technician and that she was doing her best. I told her why do you sells us the projector coming out of the ceiling if its not going to work. I told her the beautiful venue with lights and especially the projector is what sold me in the 1st place. Amelia: Loves to argue and loves to talk about other events and talk about how ugly the brides maid dresses are. This makes me wonder what will she say about our event Bar: Everything went fine except they should have told me they were closing it at 11:00 pm even though event was from 5:pm to 1:am. Lights: The cool ceiling lights were not on while dancing. I had to request for them because again she was either with a possible client, food tasting, and allowed non guest to enter while my event was going on. It's weird to see everyone dressed to impress and see about two people with Amelia casually dressed. Waiters: One heavy set waiter appeared to be drunk because he was arguing with the dj and because he nearly took out that nice huge chair for bride and groom. Another complaint I have is that the tall skinny young waiter helped himself to my candy bar. He was caught by one of my guest and she saw him filling up bags of candy. The heavy set waiter either lost track of time and took off his shirt and began stacking up chairs before 11:30 pm. Now if Armen doesn't allow waiters to serve food and drinks in their muscles shirts, why is it ok to take off his shirt before the party is over. Waiter should at least waited until all of my guest are gone. The guest thought the party was over so they began to collect their belongings and left early. People please get every detail in writing! Have Armen's number and call or text him immediately. Request for him to be present. When I signed up, I signed up for a beautiful place with good food, but good costumer service should also be part of this package too. I shouldn't have to request for good customer service, that's a given. read more

My husband and I held our reception here on 9-6-13. We are so happy with what Armen was able to do for us! From the start after our beautiful ceremony, we arrived early but it was just fine because Armen was completely accommodating and put my husband and I in the care of Hayk who brought water and refreshments. When our guests arrived, he made sure the hall was completely ready, the bar tenders ready to go, and the guests received and greeted. Best Hall Kitchen Ever. Period. We were so pleased with the different courses of food and our guests had a great time esp since we provided an open bar. The DJ was amazing too! He utilized Imperial Palaces Beautiful Ivory Dance Floor and made it a night to remember. Thank you Armen, without you my husband and I would not have had our dream wedding! People Are still calling us about how much fun they had! read more

I had my wedding here in October and it was absolutely beautiful. The serving staff was amazing and very attentive to myself, my wedding party, and guests. Some of my guests even said that they "felt like royalty". The food was amazing and the "Pasadena Special" we received was also a great perk. The only reason I have to give a 4 out of 5 is because of the events prior to the wedding. Although Armen did deliver in the end, we did have a few hiccups along the way. For example, the outside of the venue was under construction during my wedding (not a great presentation for guests) and they scheduled another event on the same day of my wedding, leaving little set up time (its a good thing my wedding was simple and elegant). Overall, this place was great. Armen may keep you on your toes at times, but he really does a great job in the end. I would definitely recommend this place and use this venue for future events. Armen was very hands on the day of the wedding which i thought was very impressive. I have driven past here a quite times and the outside is all done now (can use a sign so guests can find the hall easier without driving past). Anyone else looking to use this hall will have it fully renovated and gorgeous. It went perfect with my vintage style wedding theme. Thank you so much for everything! =) read more

Me and my wife just got married May 18th and we were blown away by the venue. Armen and Amanda were great. I had the best day of my life. This place is great. Renovated venue great food!!! Super satisfied!!!!! read more

Let me first say, I did not book this venue for my wedding, but I wanted to write about my experience with Armen and the banquet hall. Armen was polite and knew his stuff. It was clear he had given this spiel before. And raced through it a little fast. I could not take notes as fast as he was speaking. The outside of the venue is drab and there is residential street parking or Valet for $7 dollars for each car. The inside makes up for the outside. it is GORGEOUS! Huge Ballroom. Very Glitzy, and it even smelled nice! I was not for myself and my fiance only because we were not going for the club feel. This place felt like Vegas! The lights show and uplighting is truly amazing. Includes bridal room. Lot's of different food options. Armen is very flexible about helping you get the food you want. Bar options: very flexible. you can host, bring in your own booze, or use there booze. Overall this site was not right for our wedding but it would be great for a party! read more
