We really enjoyed ourselves. It was a potluck type offering but you could also have your own stuff. Everyone was very shareful and kind to us strangers. Then again, we brought 12 persons. I would definitely come back. Oh yeah, i am back on Thursday because my wife comes to Bingo with her friend :)

You are responsible for your own table cloths, or you can rent it from them for an additional price. There's a kitchen that you can use, the bathrooms are clean, and there's plenty of parking inside. The venue can host 100 people, but it will be very tight with that many people. We had about 80 people (including kids) at the event, and though it felt tight, at least the kids were able to hang outside to enjoy the bouncer. I rented the afternoon time frame, so we were given the venue from 2:30-9PM. The only thing that I found weird was that there was absolutely no attendant available at the end of the night. Overall, a decent place to rent a venue if you wanna DIY things yourself.

It felt a little tight, but there was still plenty of space in the foyer area and in the back. At the event I attended they had a bounce house and a taco vendor in the back. There is a full sized kitchen available for use so you can store or prepare food and drinks. The grass lawn out front was also a nice place for kids to run around. Super family friendly space! It was nice they even had a changing table in the women's bathroom. I would love to attend another event here in the future!

I had a staff retreat for work here at University Club of Pasadena. This is a lovely venue. Parking…read morewas easy to find, but getting out was confusing so be sure to look down at the arrow signs. The venue is spacious and clean. Lots of rooms. Our room for the day was upstairs. AC was on, breakfast table with coffee/tea were ready for us when we arrived. The croissants were delicious! And the presentation of food was beautiful! Fruits were fresh and yummy. For lunch I had salmon and this dish has so much flavor. Lemonade and iced tea were prepared for us. Just when I thought we finished the day, we were surprised with cookie and vanilla ice cream. The cookie was warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Vanilla ice cream was hitting the spot. You can't fail this combination. The food really blew me away although I was there for work. Friendly and attentive staff. Love the decor and it has its charm!

We attended a fabulous wedding here at the University Club of Pasadena in late September. This…read morehistoric club founded in 1922 made for a beautiful venue in a great location. The couple was able to personalize with photos and memorabilia set up on shelves in the breezeway inset area which was a sweet touch. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors on the Garden Patio. It was a gorgeous but warm, very sunny day and the seating on the right side could have perhaps used a sail shade of some sort as it was blindingly bright and quite warm on that side! It's a small thing as the ceremony was short, but thought I'd mention for anyone considering the space at a time of year when that's a factor. After the ceremony, we walked into the adjacent 1922 Lounge for the cocktail hour. This was a wonderful space with an eye-catching bar area, lots of seating and high tops, as well as plenty of room to mingle. We loved the signature cocktails and the passed hors d'oeuvres were absolutely delicious and plentiful! Onto the reception in the huge "Main Dining Room" with vaulted wood beam ceilings, chandeliers and warm hardwood flooring. Everything was configured beautifully, food was again delicious and the venue staff was excellent. I loved that you could retreat to the garden patio or other areas within the club when you needed a quiet moment! So from a guest's point of view, the University Club of Pasadena was the perfect venue for a wedding or any event for that matter. Great location, facility, food and staff!

We came here for a small reptile show, around 10 vendors and there were some bird vendors there too. Decent amount of parking and I loved the decor that they had in here, along with the tidbits of history behind the glass, including historical and cultural artifacts from the past, the chandeliers, the art on the walls, and much more. Gives more flavor to the venue than just a regular gym or auditorium. AC wasn't the strongest, but it's probably best for the cold blooded critters that were there. The birds were in the hallway entrance in, so the sound reverberated quite a bit. Not bad for smaller events from an attendee's point of view.

This placed saved our wedding during COVID - we live streamed our wedding to 300+ guests from here and it was extremely memorable to all.

The conservatory is a beautiful backdrop, and there are many niche spaces that are wonderful for photographing. Highly recommend.

Whimsy Pasadena has been around since 2019. This charming, beautiful, wonderful place welcomes…read moreeveryone with kind hospitality, love and genuine smiles. Whimsy is an open & bright space with plenty of parking, shops & restaurants nearby. You can host any and every event from birthday parties, to small/medium size weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, engagements, baptisms, holiday parties, seminars, workshops, and more.. It is somewhat small to medium venue that holds about 60 to 90 people. You certainly don't feel cramped up. Too be honest with you, I hadn't heard of this place until 3 years ago when one of my friends asked me to host her son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. I was more than honored to have the privilege to do that. With that being said, yesterday I was invited to celebrate one of my former coworker's daughter's 15th birthday party. It was a fun and great party. They have many different amenities from tables/chairs, kitchenette with mini fridge, microwaves, credenza & wooden backdrop. Just to name a few. You can bring your own food/beverages and also they will help you clean up. Prices vary depending on the occasion/event. They range between $150-$300 an hour. Weekends can be just a little more expensive. They brought a taco truck and were able to cater and set up in the outdoor space. Everyone had a blast both times that I was there. If you need a good venue to do any of the following, no need to look elsewhere. Whimsy has you covered from A to Z!! Thank you all..

They have the most beautiful and elaborate celebrations at the South Pasadena lodge. Recently, I was able to attend an installation ceremony and the multi course menu was top notch! Hats off to the chef! It was Japanese inspired , so of course there was traditional music and a very nice martial arts demonstration. The facility itself looks small and unassuming since it is part of a larger complex on Fair Oaks (next to a Massage parlor) but the interior is exquisite! Beautifully decorated with high regalia of the lodge's history. I've met many great individuals while attending events here with interesting stories to tell! They have a small parking lot in the back, but I always prefer to park in the streets since it's easier. The facility has a back and front staircase entrance, with the elevator to the facility being in the back where parking is.
