This was my second time attending a wedding at this banquet hall. This is a really nice hall, modern looking and very clean. Food is always fresh and they have a variety of food items. Their menu includes variety of vegetarian food and meat options. There is something to eat even for the pickiest people. Also, menu depends on the event and what the bride/groom/ host picked. For parking, this banquet has valet parking. Also, there is street parking too, but it is hard to find one especially on the weekends. read more

I remember coming here to this hall with my family so we could celebrate my cousins birthday, but when they heard we was Roma they were so disrespectful that when you'd be walking around they'd jab their fingers in your back to get by you, the closest we ever got to having respect was with the bartenders, they were lovely, but the manager who aranged a night for our party would raise the price for my aunt for the hourly price LAUGHING IN HER FACE so if your culture is out of the norm I'd highly recommend you dont come here read more

We came here this past weekend for a wedding and it was my first time coming here. I would say I was thoroughly impressed about this venue. Having had a wedding almost 8 years ago this venue makes it easy and seem less. From the tv screen showing you your table to the elaborate interior design this place has it all. I've never been to a wedding with fireworks that's for sure. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially serving food. Overall from my experience as a guest this place was nice. I would recommend stopping by the venue if you're looking for a place to get married. read more

I wish I can write a book about this place! My husband and I got married in the Modern Ballroom 3 months ago and I can't even begin to explain how thrilled we are to have chosen Metropol as our wedding venue. We both fell in love the minute we walked in there. We were originally scheduled in 2020 during the pandemic; however, Andre (the manager) worked with us to choose a different date. He is very friendly, honest, and beyond professional and he truly helped us during the craziest times! The staff is also AMAZING! When we went to do our food tasting they were extremely nice and professional and also the day of the wedding! They were just running around ALL the time cleaning up tables and making sure everyone is okay. And we can't forget the food!!! The food is SOOOO SOOO GOOD!! Let me just say, my Egyptian guests had nothing to complain about ! Definitely recommend this place! read more

The owner is a douche. And the health inspector needs to come in and check this place. Employees are really nice and kind though! Deserve to be treated better and compensated better for their hard work! read more

Andre and his team at Metropol were exceptional. My husband and I had our wedding reception at Metropol 6 months ago and receive so many compliments about the venue to this day. To begin, we stumbled upon Metropol after looking at Renaissance, its sister banquet. We fell in love with the larger ballroom when we first saw it. It was a great size, a white canvas, which we liked because it made it very modern and amenable to whatever our wedding design/ theme would look like, and it has high ceilings. We knew it would be the venue where we'd host our reception! Over the months of planning, Andre was extremely gracious and patient. He listened to what our desires were for our wedding day and accommodated every request. Choosing our food and what type of open bar we wanted was a breeze. Moreover, our families are Bolivian and we customarily serve our food with a spicy sauce called "llajua." We talked to Andre about making it ourselves and having the servers serve it on our wedding day, but Andre had a better idea and had his cooks prepare the spicy sauce for our guests. I couldn't believe Andre and his team went above and beyond for us and our families, and it tasted just as good as if we would have made it. Andre and the whole team at Metropol, thank you for your wonderful customer service, great food, and overall fun and stress free ambience. We were very happy to have chosen Metropol for our wedding day. read more

Swanky. We were guests here for a wedding reception and had no trouble with the valet in their adjoining lot. Inside, we waited in the lobby area for cocktail hour and had hors d'oeuvres that were passed by servers on trays. I tried a chicken skewer and a little hummus bite and both were so yummy. We were able to see our seating arrangements on a TV screen in the same lobby area. Once they opened the doors to the banquet hall, we were lead into a lovely high-ceiling room with crystal chandeliers in the middle of the room over a white tiled dance floor. The place just looked so white and pretty. The food, oh my gosh, THE FOOD. There was SO much of it. Plate after plate of appetizers, all Mediterranean/Armenian (this is Glendale, folks). Cheeses, breads, hummus, salads. The main course was chicken and beef kabobs. More courses came out after, (and I had no more room left in my stomach) including grilled veggies and then a fruit course. It was INSANE. The tables were set up far enough apart so you didn't feel squished against another yet not far enough to feel like an island. The round tables were huge and sat roughly 13 people around it comfortably on pretty, gold chiavari chairs. The acoustics for the DJ's music were great and the dance floor accommodated many. The bathrooms were clean and modern looking. The server helping at our table was very sweet and explained what some of the dishes were, which was necessary, since nothing was labeled and many of us weren't used to this particular cuisine. Getting our car from valet afterward was quick. Great experience! read more

Came here for a wedding reception. Accidentally walked into the wrong reception. The banquet hall was two levels. This one was on the main boulevard. Beautiful looking!! Walked into the correct one. Located on the side of the building. Much smaller, but still very nice. Prior to being let into the reception room, we stood in a much smaller room eating appetizer and having drinks. All very good. After one hour, let into the main reception room. I have to tell you, I was impressed!! VERY NICE. So nice!! Seated 100 guests comfortably. Decorated beautifully. Food choices (Mediterranean) really good and filling. My only complaint is that the waiter did not remove the empty glasses from our table. I guess we drank a whole lot!! I would definitely recommend having a wedding reception here!! Visited 3/20/16 read more

We had our wedding here this past weekend, and we couldn't be more happy with the venue we chose. Everything from the food to the staff was nothing short of excellent. The venue manager Andre was professional, nice and very helpful throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Metropol. read more

Terrible food. Bunch of cheap, low quality food salted to death (probably expired second hand food, hence the abundance of salt). Horrible acoustics makes music more of an annoyance than pleasure. Icing on the cake? Total lack of management in enforcing non-smoking laws indoors. Several guests were openly smoking at the tables with total disrespect for others, and the management allowed it to go on. We had to leave in less than an hour due to smoke and stuffy air quality. What a dump this place is... Would never recommend this place to anyone I care about. read more

Summary: went for a wedding on Friday and the venue and food were exceptional! Ambiance: right smack in the middle of Glendale (my old home city)... corner building with valet. Very modern looking building that looks like quality! Large ballrooms with a beautiful grand entrance. Totally amazed as to how quickly the ballroom changes from a wedding ceremony to a reception room! Parking: as mentioned above - valet is available. We found parking less than a block away - I recommend Uber/lyft to get to and from the location... especially if you're going to drink!!!!! Service: we felt like we had a personal server. There must have been at least 300 guests but we felt very well served by our server. We never ran out of drinks or food! Restrooms: clean... enough said. Goes with the theme of the venue... Conclusion: I don't know how much the venue charges, but it seems like they handle everything ....and AC was good! I had a bad experience at a venue because the AC was not adequate to accommodate the number of people (no fun dancing in a sauna for a formal event).... read more

Metropol Venue - Armenian dancers rock it out like rock stars! Lol - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Glendale, California

Artak was absolutely incredible with how he took care of myself and family. The food was great but Artak made it special with his funny jokes and attention to detail. Thank you! read more

What a beautiful place! From the outside you might not be able to tell much however once you enter it is gorgeous. There is valet parking but they don't really tell you a price until you leave $8 this particular night. The decor is modern with clean lines and the lighting colorful that can change to accommodate any mood. The staff was friendly and even the few with bitch face seem cool. The security straight mafia, no lie. It was amazing time joining my close friend begin her new adventure. read more

To be honest, with how beautiful this venue is, how great the service is, the manager is RUDE. Constantly yelling at his employees in front of guests. They are young guys trying their hardest to make your event special, and the manager constantly behind you yelling at his employees, is not fair. It makes your night hard to enjoy. read more

The best reception hall in Los Angeles area. Very modern ballroom and professional team. Food is absolutely amazing. Our guests are still taking about the food and how delicious it was. So happy we chose Metropol (Millenuim ballroom) as our wedding venue . Highly recommend. Edgar and Hrach are so professional and know their job. 10+ Loved, loved everything about it :))) read more

Just had my wedding here last Saturday and we have been working with Edgar to plan our event. I have to say they are extremely accommodating, attentive, and have polite staff. My wedding was hosted in the Millennium ballroom with my ceremony upstairs. The ceremony is much smaller and low ceilings so if you are looking for something grandiose like their ballrooms you may want to pass. However, I didn't mind it at all. 1. FOOD - You get sooooo much of it and its amazing! Especially if you like Armenian, Mediterranean, Persian food... etc... 2. Build your own bar - perfect for helping your wedding on a budget. I do have to note the hired bar tenders for the venue practically required my guest to tip them. So that was the only feedback from my guest. Other than that... it was perfect. My guest would get no service if tip was not provided. 3. Modern Feel - Tall ceilings with white shiny dance floors. Your seating charts are presenting on a flat screen TV. 4. Technology - projectors and fog machines are provided! However, sound systems are not, but your DJ /band should have it. I liked that we had our own bathroom for our event. There was another wedding hosted at the same time but it was segregated by security. I do just wish they allowed us to pay via credit card :) read more

My wife and I had our wedding reception here in late March and the venue was perfect for us. Edgar of Metropol is a professional who took all our calls and was very accommodating. It was a pleasure working with them. I highly recommend this venue just for his service. The food! There are many venue choices in LA. We felt Metropol's food was the best of the bunch. Huge variety to choose from and they even have halal options. All of our guests loved the food. Lighting and audio. Perfect! So many color options when it comes to light in and Edgar will allow you to spend time to choose what you like. Highly recommend this place! read more

Metropol Venue - The perfect venue - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Glendale, California

Background - I was a guest for a wedding partee (~250 guests) We drive up and it is very unassuming on the outside. Just regular building, nothing special. Valet service was quick, efficient, no complaints there. Then you walk in and you're greeted with a cornucopia of flowers and colors on the right, poppin colors and nice lighting. Lobby is perfect for cocktail hour, spacious with a grand curving staircase which lead to a foyer. Very pastel kinda night with purples and baby blue but the whole ceiling is LED programmable so you can set the mood ranging from vow ceremonies to gettiin down on da dance floor which was plenty spacious. The Mediterranean cuisine provided by the venue was plentiful and deelish. Wait staff was ON IT. Very attentive, food was hot, the curry came out crispE, just be sure to eat it ASAP while its fresh! The lobby was used for a photo booth station with props! So if you wanted to have vendors you dont want in the main hall, they can set up in the lobby. Venue was very modern and sleek. Posh and elegant place to host a wedding. A good 50 of us got to play with sparklers afterwards in the street!! read more

The Metropol venue is an amazing place to have a wedding! They make the process so easy! With great rates and amazing customer service you can't go wrong. Andre was a huge help to us and walked us through the whole process from start to finish. He made it all so easy. On the wedding day they took care of everything! I didn't need to run around and check on everything. The food was absolutely incredible and they had a ton of options to choose from. Everyone left the wedding letting me know how good the food was! If you're looking for a venue I highly recommend contacting Metropol it will obviously be the best fit at the end of the day. read more

I attended a wedding here, and was in the bridal party so this review is written from that perspective. The first place I went into here was the bridal suite, and although it's nice to have a bridal suite, I was not impressed by this one. The bridal suite was pretty small and narrow with two beat up couches and a small vanity table and mirror. There was no place to hang dresses so my friend who was the bride had her gowns laid out across the couches. The room was also used for storage. Aside from my first impression of the bridal suite, I did like the reception area of the venue. I thought the ceremony area was a bit plain, but it's great to have an option to do the ceremony at the same place. I really enjoyed the food. Venue offers valet parking for guests at a cost, but can't remember exactly how much-cash only! There was also another event happening at the same time as ours, so there are two big ballrooms. read more

Our wedding at Metropol was amazing! We started planning in January of 2021 and were able to secure a Saturday in November. We choose Metropol because they could accommodate our guests for a wedding ceremony and reception, and also because they are a full service venue. It was amazing to not have to worry about food, rentals, lighting, slideshow, or anything like that. We met with Andre several times and he did a great job helping us out. Our wedding was truly magical, thanks so much Metropol! read more

We had our wedding here on June 2, 2019 and it was an absolute dream. The price is extremely reasonable for everything they include. The food--WOW!!! Our guests were impressed by how delicious the food was, the amount of food and how gorgeous the place was. Andre helped us from the very beginning and he was amazing and patient. I would highly recommend getting married here!!!!! read more

We had our wedding at this venue in late June and it was amazing!!! We had met with the manager Andre back in 2019 to book the Modern Ballroom (the big one) and we got SO lucky that we didn't have to postpone or cancel our date since everything opened back up on June 15th. Andre was very polite and answered all my calls and questions leading up to it as I was very nervous we'd have to postpone or cancel. About two weeks before the wedding, we met in person to go over all the details and make final decisions on the menu, venue set up, etc. He was very thorough and on our wedding day, everything was just perfect. The staff took great care of us and our guests, and everyone was raving about the atmosphere and delicious food. A couple things to note: 1. They locked the bridal suite after we used it once. We understand it was for security, but we had to look for the manager twice that evening which took precious time out of our day when we needed to access the room. 2. Our guests were charged $18 per car for valet. This was not communicated to us and we didn't think to ask about the valet charge, but something to keep in mind. 3. The kitchen staff cut the cake in very thin slivers for each guest and there was a lot of cake leftover to take home. Had we known, we would have requested they cut larger pieces to serve. Overall, we are SO glad we had our wedding at Metropol and wouldn't have had it any other way. We are grateful to Andre and the entire staff for making our day so special and a night we'll never forget!!! read more

Thank you Andre for the great service planning our wedding. We appreciate all your help. The food, hall and service was outstanding!!!

We had our wedding here on December 8th in the big ballroom for 300 people. It was perfect. Edgar and Andre were so easy to work with and helped make the whole process easier for us. This venue is much more modern in terms of the design, especially compared to other venues in Glendale. I loved the modern design. The cocktail area is beautiful. The venue food is plentiful and delicious. Only sad part is that it's over. Wish we could relive this day over and over again. Thank you Metropol staff, Edgar and Andre for everything and for helping make our wedding day special. read more

Decent venue for a wedding. Great food during banquet. Cocktail hours passed hors d'oeuvres were extremely lackluster, but the main event made up for it. Small lobby area with no seating during cocktail hour. Valet is $8. Very pretty in the main banquet room. read more

We had a pleasure of working with Andre for the past 2 years and finally had our wedding on July 2nd . Andre was and is an outstanding professional not mention extremely pleasant during our multiple conversations. To our surprises Andre stayed until late evening to ensure everything was in order before he departed for the day, and everything was in deed in order. Thank you Andre and entire Metropol team for a great service. read more

Had my wedding here on 3/3/18 in the smaller room, Millennium ballroom. Edgar, the venue manager was amazing. Edgar was accommodating and kind. I would highly recommend having any large events here. My now-husband and I looked at alot of venues but this one was the one worth every penny. My advise, get the white carpet, especially for the Millennium ballroom. The white carpet cost a few thousand dollars but so worth it because it gave the ballroom a more elegant touch. Thanks Edgar and staff for the wonderful experience, it was definitely the best day of my life. read more

Writing this review to give a shout-out to my server. I think his name was "Roman". Incredibly attentive. Probably the beSt service I've gotten at an Armenian banquet hall. Food is decent. Fish was really good, but like I said, Roman was great. read more

I have a lot of great things to say about this banquet hall. My husband and I had our wedding at the Millennium ballroom, five months ago. The manager is friendly, honest, and thoughtful. Everything he promised us was delivered. We went to a few banquet halls before Metropol and we did not get the same vibe from their managers. The staff is overall just so wonderful. During our wedding there was a moment where I sat down and the whole room was spinning. Right away the waiter ran and got me water with sugar to make sure I wouldn't faint. He came by so many times to check up on me. The food at Metropol is AMAZING! I didn't get to eat much but I got a lot of great feedback from my guests. Thank you guys for everything. We will definitely be using this banquet hall again for our future events. read more

I'm still overwhelmed with joy, humility, and honor the way Andre and his staff ensured our event was the best it could be. My wife Lisa and I Had our wedding reception at Metropol Sunday 8.7.22. Very nonchalant and professionally, Andre kept his cool throughout our encounters. He took care of us at every turn. Explained things clearly, and answered all our many questions. The food is the best food I've ever had at any wedding. The attentiveness of the staff was outstanding. If you plan on getting married in L.A. I highly recommend you select Metropol. read more

If I could give this place zero reviews, I would in a heartbeat. My sister initially chose this venue for her wedding reception prior to the start of the pandemic. She ended up getting married during COVID and pregnant soon after so she and her husband decided to use the initial down payment for the wedding toward a baby shower. Being that the pandemic is still not over, we asked to use the down payment toward catering instead even if we lost money. Andre refused and made racist remarks saying "this is the United States of America, where are you even from?" The audacity and the disrespect we received from this establishment is beyond me. He said "we don't have the money, we paid rent because you didn't have your wedding." I wasn't asking for a refund. I was willing to work with them to support the business knowing how tough it was during the pandemic. ESPECIALLY for restaurants and event venues. I was simply asking to use the down payment toward FOOD. I've never been more insulted by a business owner in my entire life. read more

PERFECTION. Literally the best banquet hall to have your event at!! We got married last Saturday at Metropol and Edgar helped us with every single little thing.. I must have called the poor guy 100 times to ask him questions and he ALWAYS was there to answer the phone, and help me figure out all of my small details. The entire staff is so friendly, outgoing, accommodating and my husband and I were SO thrilled to have had the pleasure of working with them.. I had a wedding planner helping me, and she said that they were extremely helpful with all of her questions and needs. The wedding came out perfect (hence why I began the review off with the word perfection) and I couldn't have asked for anything more! If you need a banquet hall for your wedding or events, look no further!!! read more

Incredible service! 10 out of 10! I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to celebrate an occasion! The servers are incredible and a specific shout out to Artak, he served our table and was absolutely incredible! As a guest this was a great experience! read more

I had my wedding on December 31, 2019 at Metropol and the food and staff were amazing! Especially Andre! He made sure everything was perfect for the big day by paying close attention to all the detail. He made the whole wedding process 1,000 times easier! If I have any other events in the future, I will be definitely going back to Metropol. Thank you so much Metropol and Andre for making my day so memorable. read more
