We hosted our daughter's quinceanera on the top floor of The Catalina Room and were happy with the venue and service. The booking process was straightforward, and The Catalina Room representatives were helpful and always available to help and answer any questions. The venue has a nice layout with a good amount of open space to accommodate our large guest count. We hosted about 230 guests. There were 24 round guest tables that fit a bit snug but with enough room to move freely. The evening of our event there were 2 event coordinators onsite who were very helpful and friendly. We booked security and bar service through the preferred vendor list, and we were happy with their services as well. Venue location also worked out perfectly as it was a short distance from the beach where we had our daughter's photoshoot. Onsite parking is very limited, but we made sure to inform our guests ahead of time and as far as we know, no one had any issues finding parking or using rideshare services. Overall, we were satisfied with The Catalina Room and would consider hosting future events there. read more

It was really easy to work with The Catalina Room and the team. Swathi was helpful every step of the way and made sure to get back to us with answers quickly. Our wedding day went great and the venue was beautiful! read more

I would highly recommend this venue everyone who attended loved it so much it was so spacious. Staff was wonderful and helpful have no complaints what so ever my daughters night was unforgettable at this venue I highly recommend. Swathi was so helpful answered all my questions on point. If you have an event coming up The Catalina Room is your venue to book! read more

It's a beautiful place. Just make sure you understand that the parking is not included. Yes there's street parking but you're by the beach and it's residential so it fills up quickly. You can pay for a valet service or possibly rent the parking lot that is a few doors down. Overall I would highly recommend. Swathi will work with you but be nice. She deals with a lot. I had a bridezilla moment but we ended up working things out and it was beautiful. If you have a catering business in mind that has a license, use them and pay the extra fee. You can hire your own security person. Just make sure you have a contract. You can also get your own insurance but I believe we ended up going with the suggested vendor they had listed. The bartender was fantastic; also on their list of vendors. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. read more

We celebrated my Daughter's Quinceanera on Saturday November 23. I looked at several venues before selecting The Catalina Room. The places has high a ceiling with exposed beams that make the place feel roomy. The kitchen and the restrooms are clean and spacious. The party was for 150 people and it didn't feel crowded. My guests and family had a great time. The staff was excellent, specially Joe the event manager that was onsite that for our event. Thanks to Seathi Movva for helping me deliver a five star celebration at a five star venue. read more

What an AMAZING celebration. Everyone loved the venue! The staff were so helpful and friendly. It made our event perfect! I can't wait for one of my children to get married so we can plan another wedding there. Again thank you so much. Swathi the manager definitely made it easy and always replied immediately if I had questions. I can honestly say the venue is perfect if you're on a budget. The place looks like we spent a small fortune! Thank you Swathi, Paster Joe for helping make our 45th wedding vowel renewal perfect! read more

This place is incredible. The price is unbeatable for the accommodations. I would recommend for anyone looking for great price, location and value. read more

Swathi was a great help in coordinating our wedding at the Catalina Room. She was very informative about what we could do and our options. She kindly let us use a time slot to perform our first dance which was mega helpful. The venue was beautiful and we didn't have to really do any decorating. The Kitchen and restrooms were clean and the AC was on when we got there. She let us know our options for layout and that we were allotted 5 parking spots. The venue itself was gorgeous and Swathi always kept the lines of communication open and let us come tour the venue multiple times with our wedding coordinator. We did however have a bad experience the day of. I will note a disclaimer.... any "damages" include food on the floor which we didn't come to know until after the wedding. This was no fault of Swathi but the on-site guy who was assigned to our event. The entire night he complained about little things and that peopled smelled like weed even though no one was smoking in the hall. I honestly didn't even know who this guy was until way later. The first time I met him was at the end of the night when he asked to pray for us which we allowed. Wedding ended at 11 ish and we stayed until 1230pm helping clean up. When we left, we got a call from our wedding coordinator who said the on-site guy wouldn't let him leave until he cleaned up some chocolate cake in the corner which wasn't his responsibility. He was harassing our wedding coordinator to the point where my husband had to go back to the venue to mediate and deal with it. Now at no point did he say we had to go through any kind of checklist or else we would have stayed. Additionally, from what he told my husband, it was one corner only where there was cake however upon talking to Swathi, it was MANY OTHER areas which was pretty irritating that there wasn't transparency. If there were, we would have cleaned it up ourselves instead of having to pay $350 to have "professionals" come in and do it. He gave us the impression that everything was ok so we left only to find out days later we had "damages to pay for ".I read through the contract and there was nothing that specifically referenced food stains so it was very subjective. The guy also tried blaming us for old gum but when he saw it was black he backed off. Swathi generously offered to deduct only a portion of the deposit which was fine, we had just wanted this ordeal to be over. Additionally, I'm not sure if they were part of the venue, but the 5 parking spots we had allotted for our event were marked off however when my husband and I pulled up the gentlemen told us there was no more parking where to we said we were the bride and groom..... THEY GAVE AWAY OUR PARKING SPOT.... if it hadn't been for the unoccupied handicap spot, we wouldn't have had a spot. Regardless, I would still recommend the Catalina Room as it is a great venue in a great location with the only downside being the parking. However I do recommend asking more questions that we did and being prepared or else you might end up in the situation we were in . read more

First and foremost I want to give a big shout out to Swathi, Karina and Libby! All of them were such a pleasure to work with. We ended up booking this venue a week before our wedding due to some unexpected circumstances and Swathi and her team were exceptional! They worked with us throughout that week up until our wedding and everything was perfect! I could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding. They all went above and beyond to accommodate us super last minute. We are truly grateful for Swathi and her team for treating us so well, they made us feel so welcomed and treated us like family. They truly care about their clients. I will 100/10 recommend this place! If you are thinking about it just book it, you will not regret it!! read more

A beautiful venue that made for an unforgettable wedding night for our daughter and her husband! The ballroom is magical with all of the bistro lights, the chavari chairs and the white drapery around the room. With colored up lights, it transforms into whatever mood you want to set. We had over 300 guests and it worked out great. The venue director was so great to work with and really went above and beyond to help us during the planning and even got us through the expected bumps that come up during wedding planning. Their staff were very reliable on the day of the event and helped keep our guests comfortable (on an 80°F March day) and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. Parking is something you'll have to be aware of as it is a beach/tourist area so everything is limited but our guests were flexible and found places to park and made it into a relaxing walk to the reception enjoying the Redondo Beach sunset as they made their way over. I couldn't have pictured a more perfect place to have our daughter's dream wedding reception and Swathi and her team did an outstanding job making that dream a re read more

Horrible service, and the owner kept adding charges even after everything was discussed and signed. Even had people from the party did most of the serving of the food and still get charged extra! I will tell all my family and friends this is not somewhere to rent from! Choose a different venue guys or you will be ripped off!!! read more

Last Saturday we had our daughter's wedding and reception in the two first floor rooms. The venue was amazing. My daughter decided to get married exactly 2 months ago and thanks to Swathi we made it happen. Everything was beautiful. My family had a fantastic time. My daughter was very happy. The space was large enough to comfortably fit our family, friends, extended family etc., We are already thinking of using this location for more of our family events. The location is perfect and no one had trouble finding parking close by. Lots of family and friends mentioned how beautifully the place was decorated. I was a proud mother of the bride and received so many compliments on this venue. Thank you so much and can't wait to book this location again. read more

My wife and I had our wedding here and we are both super happy with the way everything came to fruition. We had a nightmare with Zhiniko Events fot two and half years of back to back cancelations. Once we got out of that bad experience we we're committed to make our wedding a reality and searched everywhere for a venue. I came across this venue online I forget where exactly but I was close and it looked beautiful! I emailed and swathi was fast to respond and a scheduled a day for us to see it all in person. The venue has a beautiful heavy timber roof and a spacious open floor plan. It's clean and can be decorated for any theme! We also met Karina she was our catering and coordinating vendor. Her mother and her make delicious authentic meals and have a great amount of offerings. Karina is very busy so at times it was hard to get a hold of her before the wedding, but that doesn't take away from the great help she was to make our wedding a reality. I strongly recommend The Catalina Room! Swathi and Karina are VERY honest and GOOD people to do business with ! I want to thank them again on here for finally making my wife and I supper happy ! Info to know: The cost of the venue don't include 1. Bar tender / catering 2. Security 3. Insurance read more

Karina and Heidi were great planner and host. Our Prom event great. When we arrived for the final set up, the room was decorated as promised.

After 21/2 years without a dance, the kids deserved a Prom they'd remember. The Catalina Room made that happen. The staff really wanted to give the seniors a great n read more

The Catalina Room was a great spot for our workshops and we definitely will be back for future workshops! We rented the 1st floor of the Catalina Room to host a few workout classes as the hardwood floors were perfect for our needs. The venue was spacious, clean, and well maintained. The venue has limited parking, but we were able to find street parking around the block within walking distance of the venue. The staff at the Catalina Room were extremely professional and responsive. Swathi was our main contact person and responded promptly to our emails and phone calls leading up to our event. During the week prior to our event, we did a full walk through to verify the set up of the space and to ensure we knew where to find what we needed (e.g. light switches, fans, tables, chairs, etc.). Swathi made sure to visit during the first day of our event to make sure we had everything we needed and had been able to access the space without issue. We were extremely glad to have found such a wonderful venue! read more

Swathi was incredibly helpful in coordinating the space for our wedding reception!
