I recently celebrated my daughter's Sweet 15 at this venue and it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end. The attention to detail in all of the décor was beautiful and made the entire event feel so special and elegant. Everything was set up perfectly and the venue itself was spotless. You can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping the space clean and well organized. One of the highlights of the night was the bartender. The drinks were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Our guests kept going back for more and everyone was impressed with both the quality and presentation. What really made the night stand out, though, was the owner. They were present throughout the entire event and constantly checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. They made sure my daughter, my family, and all of our guests were having a great time. That level of care and attentiveness meant so much and helped the entire night run stress-free. My daughter had the most memorable Sweet 15, and I'm so grateful we chose this venue. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful space with excellent service for their special event. read more

This salon is amazing for any event you or your family/friends want to host but don't know where to start. They guide you with packages and not only that, but deliver exceptional service. My sister recently had an event here and it came out so beautiful, so much so that I am planning my baby shower here. I feel comfortable with the idea that I'm leaving all the stress behind knowing I can count with this place/staff to set my vision to life. read more

I had my daughters 1st birthday party celebration and baptism combined at the smaller venue and it came out so beautifully. My theme was cielito lindo and it was beyond my expectations. I was sending inspos of how i wanted my venue to look and they went above and beyond. Not only did they exceed my expectations but the food was amazing . I had the servers serve food for an hour but I had many guests that came late and the servers still served food after hours . When it was time to sing happy birthday they dimmed the lights and made sure my daughter had her special moment. I also had a last minute candy table and they were so accommodating and decorated my candy table as well . I would definitely recommend this salon they are very professional and on top of their staff! You won't regret doing business with them !! They are amazing with everything they do down to the decor / bar / and food service! read more

We chose Salehs Palace to host my baby sis Quinceanera. Shaffik and his staff literally took out Pinterest board and made it come to life! Extremely nice staff and super attentive. Great communication throughout the whole process to make sure all your needs and expectations are met. Food was delicious, decor AMAZING! We had a blast and got so many compliments on how regal everything looked. Our guest were PAMPERED with valet parking, red carpet entrance, delicious food. read more

If you want to throw a fun a big party , this is not the place , yes the venue is very beautiful but it has its downsides. I went to a wedding there and the bride and groom were stressed about the "vallet parking". They booked the venue for 300 people which they offer but by 8 pm there was no more parking!!! There party was until 1 am. No way in hell there was more than 50 cars outside. And the parking in the street sucks. How will you offer a capacity for 300 people and not fit parking for those 300 people?‍. Another thing, drinks "weren't allowed at the dance floor". While this rule started until the night, this ruins the fun for people. What's so wrong with people holding their drinks in there hand?. And another thing that really bothered us , as a Mexican family. We enjoy dancing. And our family was pretty lit obviously. There was a man who I guess was in charge of the party there that was just staring at everyone in the dance floor. DEEP STARING. Staring madly , as if he was bothered. It was awkward everyone noticed. And all the guys were not feeling it ! It seemed personal. And it can cause issues. The bride was able to talk to the guys to just ignore it. They also had the bride and her friends serving their maurachan bar and standing there 24/7 because of "safety". The brides plan was to just leave some made. But I guess she was told 3 days beforehand that if she didn't hire someone this would happen. But they were there just 24/7 making sure she was there. She didn't think it was a big deal but this also pissed off the guest because we've never heard this!!! A venue making u stand there? They are just super strict. You won't be able to enjoy the night having people watching every move u make. And worrying about your guest !! read more

First, the ownership was quite rude and condescending. Second, the parking lot was poorly designed as attendees were instructed, by ownership, to park their cars in a neighboring area, which was some distance away from the venue. Third, the "palace" was poorly designed. I had know idea where gifts were to be placed and, moreover, there were random pieces of furniture, which had no relation to the quince. For example, one decoration (i.e., photo enclosed) was the cause of the quinceanera's dress being caught and nearly tangled by the decoration, which was not part of the party . Also, the food was weak at best. It tasted good but with the chicken was ONE stalk of asparagus and one small potato cut into four pieces. Read all the reviews and decide for yourself. I'm doubting the validity of the positive reviews. I would not book at this establishment, save your sanity and pocketbook. read more

Just had my wedding here last night and it was honestly everything I ever wanted and more. The venue looked amazingly beautiful and super clean. Josue was amazing throughout the whole process. Very understanding and reasonable, helped me reschedule my event due to a family emergency without a hassle. The guest loved the every part of it as well. We can't Thank you guy's enough for helping us with our special night. Staff was very nice and accommodating to everyone. read more

They should do the world a favor and shut down this clip joint! Awful management! Valet attendants were incredibly rude and disrespectful. Parking lot had no lights, and there was trash everywhere! If you're looking for a place for your celebration, I suggest you keep looking. Don't let these scammers ruin your celebration. Too bad there aren't any ZERO star options! read more

Nice venue, horrible service. Please read this before booking with Saleh. My wife and I had our wedding here in August. The venue is beautiful, but the experience was extremely stressful due to disorganization, lack of communication, and unprofessional behavior from the staff and vendors booked through the venue. When we booked, we were encouraged to add services through the venue: DJ, cake, champagne glasses, photo booth, etc. We later found out these were outsourced, and there was very little coordination or accountability. Our food tasting was the first red flag -- we were told to "come hungry" and bring guests, but we were given one plate for six people and the food was cold. The cake was extremely dry, so we canceled it and used the credit elsewhere. Leading up to the wedding, communication was poor. Messages and calls were ignored, and I had to show up in person just to get a meeting. The week of the wedding, we were told to drop off our alcohol early (including a keg needing refrigeration), but there was no clear storage plan. On the day of the wedding, the setup ran late. Family members were told they could check the room in the morning, but security didn't let them in. When we arrived early ourselves, we were also not allowed in. The reception was scheduled to start at 6pm, but guests were not allowed inside until around 6:20. Our guests were lined up outside in the heat, confused and uncomfortable -- and this was embarrassing because we had listed the start time on our invitations based on what the venue told us. Instead of checking the guest list at the entrance, staff only checked IDs for drinking age. This was never communicated and caused more delays. We created a detailed schedule for the DJ with songs for our entrance, first dance, father/mother dances, and the timing of live music. We were told to send it ahead of time -- which we did. However, on the way to the venue, the DJ texted me asking what our first dance song was. It was clear no one reviewed anything. When we walked in for our entrance, the DJ took so long to play the song that we were already standing at the center of the dance floor waiting for our first dance by the time it finally played. We also paid extra for spark and smoke effects during the first dance -- they were never used. After the dance, the on-site manager asked if we wanted to redo the dance just for the effects, even though we were already behind schedule. We declined. When I tried to talk to the DJ to get things back on track, he told me, "Don't talk to me. Talk to the boss." This was extremely disrespectful, especially since we paid for his services. He also played random music that was nothing like what we requested. The vendor table we paid extra for was never set up, which caused confusion among vendors and seating issues. Some guests were even told they couldn't get food, even though the serving time hadn't ended. The only reason the reception didn't completely fall apart was our live band, which we hired independently. They stepped in and took over the music because the DJ clearly wasn't prepared. Ironically, the venue made things difficult for the band -- refusing to allow convenient loading access for their heavy equipment. It felt like the venue punishes you for not using their in-house vendors. We also paid $500-$600 for the photo booth. The setup was extremely basic, and the photo template just said "Welcome to my wedding" in a plain font. We later learned from the photo booth operator (who was kind and professional, and whom we tipped) that he had been called just a few hours before the wedding -- meaning the original booking was never properly arranged. We ordered pizza for the staff and vendors (which Saleh approved in advance and was included in the schedule), but the security guard refused to let the delivery inside. My mother had to knock on the office door where Saleh and the on-site manager had been sitting for most of the night, before the issue was resolved. Lastly, we paid around $400 for an additional bartender, yet throughout the night, there was clearly only one working. We were given repeated excuses, but it was obvious the second bartender we paid for was not consistently present. We spent months planning and saving for this day. We didn't expect perfection -- we only expected the venue to deliver what we paid for and what was promised. Instead, we spent our reception fixing problems that should never have existed. Our wedding day was supposed to be joyful and stress-free, and we cannot get that experience back. The venue is beautiful, but the service, coordination, and professionalism were extremely disappointing. If you are considering hosting your wedding here, please be aware of what you may be walking into. read more

This establishment "double booked" our wedding 30 days before our event. Instead of taking accountability, he dragged the situation out for months. We were forced to wait 60 days for a refund, during which he requested an extension -- then failed to honor it. Every interaction was full of excuses and broken promises. Shafik Saleh's is a scammer. DO NOT BOOK YOUR EVENT HERE. He still owes us money, and MANY other victims. We took him to small claims and even the judge knew who he was. So embarrassing. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE, avoid the headache and stress. Do not believe anything he tells you, he will offer you extensions and promising dates it's all a bunch of lies. Please think twice before booking this venue. What should have been a joyful time turned into a stressful, drawn-out nightmare. Don't let it happen to you. read more

Went here to celebrate my niece's, Bethany, quince. It was beautiful! Set up was nice. Restrooms are clean and well lit. Large space for dancing. Staff was attentive about cleaning up and not letting stuff sit at tables for long. read more

Shafik still did not resolve my issue or send my refund. Do not book here. It's disgusting and very unprofessional.

This place is highly unprofessional! If you don't leave a good review, or bend to their will, they will make things difficult for you (see my text exchange). We have been trying to get our video and photos for months, but there was a lot of excuses given as to why we couldn't get them yet. So naturally, we became weary of anything said by this place. So, because we don't live close to this venue, we waited to confirm that the product was in-fact in the hands of Shafik (the owner) rather than taking him at his word and run the risk of taking the long trip with no results (yet again). Once we finally had our date to pick up our product he made us wait longer than the time he had indicated! Then he wanted to negotiate with me to take down the bad reviews before he gave us anything! When I declined he refused to give us what we already paid for! I had to call the police as this is flat out stealing!!! He called security, they came rushing in like they were really going to do something to me. In the end, we got our stuff before the cops arrived (I was really hoping to catch that on video and pictures)! But we sure went through hell to get it! Be very careful, people. He'll try to scapegoat his brother Farid, throw him under the bus to save his own behind! By the way, several people have gone to the media (Univision) to report Saleh's shady business practices they have committed against hardworking Hispanic parents that just wanted a nice party for their daughters! So do your research. This is the treatment you can get as a paying customer. Beware!!! Here are the receipts of everything!! Let's hope Shafik posts the receipts he claims to have. read more

Hey Shafik, we planned this event of ours at least 2 years in advance. We knew you were the one to have our event because once we walked into your little "hideout" and how "low key" it looked from the outside unassuming but yet when walking into your palace, we knew right away this was the place to have our monumental event for our only daughter because of how clean, beautiful and elegant it all looked already with actual FLOORS and no Carpet so we fell in love right away with the elegant aesthetic. So after the easy decision was made, my wife and I were able to communicate how we wanted our party event to look and feel like and Shafik definitely made it easy with constant and transparent communication back and forth. He is always a phone call or text away and especially prior to and during the event, he was so kind to help do the little things like helping print out our drink menu signs, or having constant transparent communication with items he thought would help make our event have an exclamation point period to it and after completing our event, he was right! The whole place was just lavishly elegant, beautiful and stunning and to have all of our guests constantly congratulating us and complimenting us on how great we did with the event, we couldn't have done it without Shafik. So we are forever grateful to your kindness, hospitality and you really made us feel at ease choosing your venue for our only daughter's sweet 16 and you really made us feel like family and all of your staff were very easy to talk to and very kind as well. It was just amazing and it really put an exclamation point to our daughter's event we will always look back fondly on our event because of how great and thoughtful and supportive you were with us and for that Shafik we thank you always. read more

We just celebrated my daughters quinceañera and it was beautiful. Shafik was always courteous and answering any questions I had. We went over details multiple times. The salon itself is beautiful and Shafik is always adding new things to enhance it even more. Even on the day of our event he surprised us with a pink carpet to match our theme. I'm really grateful to him and his employees. Marylin was an amazing onsite manager she made sure all the decor was how I liked. She was always texting me to make sure things were being done to my liking. I have nothing, but positive feedback. With all the controversy I was also afraid to book, but Shafik took all our worries away and we went to him instead of listening to the bad reviews. He really is a great guy. read more

The venue is an up and coming diamond in the rough. Farid (owner) took great care of us and made sure to provide us with what we needed. He was so accommodating, helpful and always available.

Thank you to the bartender (had way too many lol), cleaning crew (making sure the restroom where always presentable) and the crew for going above and beyond. This place has so much potential! In a year from now I picture this being the top venues to do your future festivities. Thank you all and hope for more business in the future to come. Book your next event here! read more

I am very grateful for Saleh's Palace for coming to the rescue after I was taken advantage of by FS Events.

My daughter's 8th grade class graduation and brunch last year and it was amazing. All the kids and their families had the best time ever. Shafik even surprised us with the robot which is a must to add to your package. The food was delicious as well. Thank you Shafik for helping us and for all you do read more

I was at the location as a guest. The location looks great on the inside. However, there was no air conditioning. This effected the whole event as it was probably 90+ degrees inside for the party. Not sure if hosts of the party knew that there was no AC prior to the event, but floor fans and a few portable AC units did not cool the place down. read more

DO NOT BOOK HERE. Definitely not professional when it comes to Customer Service. When plans changed, I needed to cancel my booking and requested a refund. It's taken almost a month, and I still til this day have NOT received my refund. Do not book here because you will not get a response fast enough. The communication at this venue is very poor. I do not recommend at all. read more

My daughter's event was this Friday I would like to take a moment to give credit where is due, in the mist of all chaos with SP and FS event, Shafik shown to be in the best disposition to help and to find solutions. Shafik explained to us the unfortunate circumstances in which he was undergoing and all the legal issues with his brother. During this time I saw in close hand how families one after another would meet with Shafik to discuss solutions. Shafik was more than willing to help and to amend in the light to maintain his good reputation regardless of his loss along the way. Once again, Thank you Shafik for being there to answer our questions and for making yourself available to us. On another positive note, my daughter's quince was exceptional just as planned everything that was promised was delivered and succeeded in every aspect Special shout-outs to Suany, Elizabeth and Mariling thank you for coordinating my event and thank you for taking care of every detail, nothing was overlooked Such an amazing work ladies. I want to thank our chambelanes Andy, Jassar, Zion, and Rosendo you guys killed it on stage and with such short period of time due to me moving my event two months earlier. Also the Security of the night was respectful and professional the Valet was the highlight to my event. I 100% recommend Saleh's Palace for any special event If only there was more star's I would give them more. Thank you Saleh's Palace for an incredible experience. A big thanks to Shafik and his team because of him my daughter had an amazing 15. read more

While looking for a venue for my daughters Quinceañera we stumbled upon Saleh's Palace. This venue is brand new and till the day getting little touch-ups as the owner sees fit, which to me is a plus. Shahik has hands down made my mom feel welcome and heard. From the start he has made appointments for the event planning and he himself shows up does not send a proxy. He's the type of owner that doesn't try and sell you something to make a quick dollar, he gives you options and leaves it up to you to decided. I don't know about you but I personally like that. I can't wait to see how it all comes together. 5 week countdown. read more

Im updating my review with Salehs Palace! I initially gave them a 5 star because throughout the process I always got a quick response and they helped me. Rocio was always answering questions and Lily. But now after our event after 4 months, they (Farid, Rocio, Lily and Shafik) keep ignoring my messages about our pictures and video! The photographer can't give me anything because no payment has been given to him by Farid. We are starting out paperwork to take them to small claims and we are filing this upcoming week. I've never have had an issue like this anywhere! read more

I had previously placed a review before my daughter's quince. Now, I would like to share little of the experience we had the day of. I have to say that it was a great experience. From the moment we started organizing days before, to the day of arrival to the time we arrived to the venue. Met Vanessa few days before and she helped me set up my tables as needed and to keep in touch with the last details. Added last minute ideas and she helped me put them in place when I arrived. Appreciate her for answering my text when I had questions. Thanks girl : ) . Severs were great , really polite, nice and did a nice job maintaining the restrooms and tables clean at all times. Security made sure everything was running smoothly and I appreciate that. The helpers cleaning day before and day of all nice people and very helpful. Thanks Shafik and staff for the easy process when coordinating everything and helping with the waltz and surprise dance.

I still wanna organize another Quinceañera and have referred someone and booked ! :) read more
