The only issue we ran into was with the guests that had special food requests (gluten free, allergies, etc.)---there was a slight mix-up and some of them didn't get their food until much much later on in the night. The food though, was great overall! People kept talking about the chicken and the salmon. I remember the guests commenting on how delicious the food was. I remember that my husband and my sister (she went to the food tasting, since I couldn't make it from Northern California), said that they weren't too impressed during the tasting, but they really blew it out of the water for the day of! Kathy: Kathy is so sweet, friendly, and professional--very extroverted! She made sure that all the details were taken care of and the night went rather smoothly. We were a bit scared because I was checking the weather and it read: sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, BLUSTERY, sunny, sunny. That blustery day? Wedding day. Ugh, right? But fear not, Kathy made sure it all worked out, and we were still able to do the ceremony outside! DJ Lance: GREAT guy. Super sweet, friendly, and he played such great songs. We gave him a list of songs we'd like, and he rolled with the punches and went for it. He also led our guests in a jeopardy game about my husband and me, in order to dismiss the tables for the buffet food. He projected a powerpoint of us as a couple, growing up, in our respective towns. The guests absolutely LOVED him, as did we. We are quite happy that we chose RBH. After about 10 in-person interviews of other locations, we do not regret our decision.

A huge thank you to Kristina, the co-owner and event manager, who went above and beyond to make my vision come to life.

I booked the decoration package, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Every detail was absolutely gorgeous--from the stunning balloon wall to the fresh flowers on each table. The space looked elegant, welcoming, and even more beautiful than I had imagined.

I came with my sister and brother in law who are regulars here and were bringing me here for the first time. We came during the first USA World Cup day and it was insanely busy which was expected. However, we showed up just right before the crowd and I felt that we did not get the best service even before the restaurant got crowded. Everyones food was a little cold and our drinks took at least 20 minutes to get to us. I also ordered the Caesar salad which had almost no dressing, my brother in laws steak was cold, and it seemed like we got the very worst batch of appetizers. The calamari was literally just crumbs of breading with maybe a few pieces of actual calamari and the spinach dip was delicious but came with only a few pieces of bread for dipping. Overall, our experience here was very fun just wish we had a little better service and that our food would have been up to par!

From the moment we sat…read moredown, she was warm, attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, and somehow managed to make every person at the table feel taken care of -- all while handling a busy afternoon at the Surf Club with total grace. But what truly sets her apart is who she is as a person. During our meal, my young son began choking, and Julia reacted instantly. Calm, quick-thinking, and compassionate, she stepped in immediately and helped save him before things escalated. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life, and I genuinely don't know what would have happened without her. Beyond being exceptional at her job, Julia is clearly an extraordinary human being. We will never forget her kindness, professionalism, and composure under pressure. The club is incredibly lucky to have her, and so are the members fortunate enough to sit in her section.

Growing up in the South Bay, Torrance Cultural Arts Center became near and dear to my heart. When I…read morewas younger I took different classes dance classes here. I remember taking ballet as kid and modern dance as a teen. I also took a workout class when I was in college. I always appreciated the large and spacious dance studios where the classes were held. Now that I'm older I've also come to appreciate Torrance Cultural Arts Center as a venue. I've been to several different festivals here such as the Japanese Matsuri Festival and Lunar New Year festival. This spot is perfect for the community to get together and like how each festival is able to have many different booths. I also love how there is a stage area both outside and inside. I've also attended the Torrance Firefighters' Annual Spaghetti Dinner here. This is another great event at this spacious venue. Despite it being quite a popular dinner, there''s plenty of room for all to enjoy an evening out. Torrance Cultural Arts Center is great! Whether it be for classes or community events or festivals, this spot is perfect for small or large gatherings.

First time here. Found it through social media. Glad we went! 2026 Torrance Lunar Year Festival…read more It was so festive! Although a small community event, it was bigger than I thought. There were food vendors, arts and crafts, music, performers, lion dance, magician doing magic tricks, ballroom dancers, a lot of vendors promoting services as well as other sellers selling decor, ornaments, plush, garment/clothing, etc. There were a lot of things to see! They even have a small area to do a small arts and crafts paper lantern for the kids! You can even go further in and see the small koi pond and peaceful garden (PINE WIND GARDEN). The mayor was there along with other community and local city members. They sure pulled some strings to make that small event happen. It was so fun and memorable.

Every course arrived hot, well paced, and thoughtfully prepared. It elevated the entire evening. The ambiance was exactly what we hoped for. The space felt warm, elegant, and intentional.

The staff was professional, calm, and attentive throughout the entire event. Every interaction felt respectful and seamless. Needs were anticipated before they had to be voiced. Megan and Kelly deserve special recognition. They ran the day with precision and confidence. Their coordination, communication, and leadership kept everything moving smoothly while allowing us to stay fully present and enjoy our wedding. Because of them, the day felt effortless.

We were flexible on the day and time we wanted to hold the event and appreciate that they were willing to work with our budget so that we could have our event in this beautiful space. The lighting that comes through the stained glass window during a day time event is beautiful and our guests raved about the food. They were also very accommodating of our vegetarian guests. We had about 55 guests and there was plenty of room for the dance floor, DJ, Photo Booth, cake table and buffet. Also a shoutout to the wait staff who were very friendly and attentive. Only downside, which is not the facility's fault is the metered parking. Our tech savvy guests updated their time via an app but some of the older guests had to continue to go to the parking lot to add more time. Our DJ did a good job of reminding the guests to do so. Overall, so thankful that we're able to hold our event here! Great staff, delicious food, beautiful venue!

We attended an Anniversary and there were about 100 people or so and you can fit a good amount of tables depends how you set up. Love that as you enter they have a designated area for a DJ if you plan to have music which is great! The space has these cool wooden walls that add to the decor and the fun lighting that they provide for you. There is a little side room that is like storage and an extra bathroom there as well. The bathroom was very clean and spacious as well. There is a designated area with back entrance for placing food if you have catering and there is a spacious fridge for food and drinks as well. There is a fun opening area for a coffee space thats a nice touch. Def has a lot of potential to make it your own space and decorate how you wish. There is a small lot for parking and then there's lots of street parking as well so that wasn't a problem.

I had a casual DIY-style wedding reception here last September. I specifically wanted a venue where…read morewe could have an outside caterer grill on site for us. This venue was one of two (that I found) closest to me that allowed for that within my budget. Pros: Nicest coordinator - Lemor, the rental manager/coordinator, is the best! She replied to every question and concern and even let us set up the day before since they didn't have an event. Cost - Incredibly low cost for the location (just a block from the beach) Flexibility - You can basically setup however you like and hire whichever vendors you want as long as you leave the venue undamaged Cons: No A/C - Usually this wouldn't have mattered but unfortunately the date of the reception it was a high of 90F so my guests were boiling. Luckily I did not have any young/elderly guests so basically everyone just chilled in the patio or stopped by the beach. However I probably would not risk the heat again in the future since no one danced because it was too hot No candles - Big non-issue, most venues don't allow candles anyway Parking - Only street parking is available. There are two paid lots nearby so there's still plenty of parking but guests will need to walk a block or two

The Woman's Club of Redondo Beach has been the hardest place yet to review....let me start by…read moresaying Lemor and Angela were both AMAZING!! Helpful, caring, accommodating, and extremely interested in helping our event their be a success. Suzanne, however, was AWFUL! From the moment she became involved there were mixed messages, opposing information, and changes. At one point after being told they were getting some upgrades done, awesome we said so long as the space was still usable as agreed upon. Then 2 days before our wedding we received an email from Suzanne telling us if we wanted to utilize the lights outside (which the patio was a part of our rental to begin with) or place tables out there with chairs we'd have to pay an extra $500 which we refused and then the patio only had 2/3 lights strung for our evening(which we didn't mind not turning them on in order to not pay $500 but at least finish it so the space appears nice and complete.) Then at the end of our reception at exactly 10:00pm Suzanne comes in like a bat out of hell, flips on all the lights and starts demanding things - meanwhile my coordinator and Angela already had arrangements for clean up and us being out of the space that evening. Suzanne was rude, unprofessional, and totally ruined the end of our wedding night. Thank goodness for our amazing vendors, family, and friends that took over so that Suzanne would not continue to attempt to argue with me at the end of my reception as I was still saying good bye to our wedding guests. Suzanne should not be the face of any rentals! I could not believe how 1 person could make what had been such a pleasant experience with an establishment turn so horrible!
