We cannot thank the Grand Theater enough for making our daughter's quinceañera on Friday such an incredible experience. From beginning to end, the entire staff was patient, kind, understanding, and genuinely committed to making our special day a success. They truly understood the amount of stress that comes with planning and hosting such a large event, and they went above and beyond to help everything run as smoothly as possible. Their professionalism, support, and attention to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime celebration with our family and friends. When we unexpectedly needed to add additional guests during the party, their quick and efficient staff stepped in and truly saved the day. They handled everything within minutes, making what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did and highly recommend the Grand Theater to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing staff. Thank you for helping make our daughter's quinceañera a day we will never forget! read more

Came here to watch a fight and see some asses get whooped but my ear drums ended up getting all the whooping from the unbearably loud speakers. Note to self: bring ear plugs next time! I watched IFS and the place seemed clean and spacious. While I've never seen a fight set up on a stage quite like that, it worked well enough considering I was seated pretty close to the stage. Just two rows behind the middle walkway. While I don't know how often I'd frequent a place like this, I'd say it did a great job hosting IFS with just the right crowd size. It's also really close to other plazas with some great eats, so you can enjoy a meal and dessert before or after the event. Only downside is the $30 parking. That's almost Disneyland numbers! At least have some kind of ride in there! read more

The Grand Theater - View from my seat. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Anaheim, California

Backstory got married 3 years ago here. I'm not going to lie the first time we came to visit we spoke to one of their sales girls and she was talking to us about everything super welcoming we were excited to chose this place it made it seem like a lot was included. Come around the second time to finalize that we were goin to chose this place and turns out the person event coordinater that was speaking to us the first time did not work there no more. A little shocked but okay. Were greeted by a new event coordinator spoke about what we wanted. Food included so we went to try what foods we wanted to select for the day. They told us to go on an empty stomach and we got served not even enough to fill us up. Lol. There was a lot of little details that were starting to come up as time kept progressing that things weren't included but the first coordinator there made it seem like a lot was included and they were going to be there the whole day making sure everything was according to plan. But it wasn't, another shocker. As time progressed I would send email to our "new" event coordinator and talking about colors for the linens on the tables etc, how the napkins folded, corkage fees. This new coordinator said she'd only be there in the beginning which again another shocker when we're told they would be there all day to make sure event ran good. Fees were raised more when we were told they were a certain price when we came the first time. I would reach out the this place and my coordinator wasn't responding, so when it came to take payment we were greeted by a new event coordinator. 3 coordinators from our time being there. So super high turnover rate, they couldn't keep their things straight, each coordinator would raise price from previous and say that things weren't going to be provided when the previous one said they would. That in itself was unprofessional because this was a couple months before our wedding and we were not told our coordinator left nor were we reached out to by the new coordinator to assure everything was okay. That's what pissed me off because how are you going to take over 15k in money to not reach out to your customer who is getting married within months at your venue. That to me was unprofessional. And the new new coordinator was rude and not reassuring but what could I do at that point it was already done. Thousands of dollars already paid for. Now the chairs you pay more for the more elegant ones, we didn't up to pay for that so we chose to go to the standard and the chairs were MIXED. Looked funky. So why was it like that??? Idk. Our food was scheduled to be served at a certain time, was running late. Keep in mind we got the bigger venue and there was a wedding in the other hall the Alexander the smaller venue, which whatever but there was no separation for the events. GUESTS FROM THE ALEXANDER WERE COMING OVER TO OUR PARTY AND TAKING DRINKS FROM OUR BAR THAT WE BOUGHT. There was no regulation at all from security nothing. All their guest were coming over to our wedding. AND, we also got a taco man again for OUR guests that ppl from the other wedding were coming over to get. So many things that we were confused as to why we are spending so much for our guest to enjoy not the other party. Now there no doors to separate these two halls so yeah they would just walk straight across. Now obviously there's only so much you remember to take at the end of the night, so we forgot our big framed picture that we had at the front and our glasses with mr and Mrs. We had gone on our honeymoon right after our wedding so we had relatives go retrieve and we were told our stuff was not there. When our relatives went to go check they were there in the venue. How can they loose our items when our party was just literally days ago. It was ridiculous. This venue is not what it seems to be they get you thinking you're getting this really good deal but as you are ready to contract they start to add everything up and more. For example they have lights like cage lights stringed across the ceiling that they charged extra to have on. And I wanted them on but wasn't wanting to pay extra for it so whatever didn't go for it. And that was also turned on so very much money grabs on EVERYTHING. Very money hungry, not organized. Everyone is not as be as involved as they should be. The workers just take your money there is no interest in getting to know you, just your wallet. There was no effort in customer service at all. And goes to show how shitty stuff is inside if there was 3 firings of coordinators within less than a year. Save your money from this place. The workers are what made it a bad experience. AND DURING ALL THIS TIME there was talks about renovations and our wedding date was going to have the new renovations. They weren't lol. Another disappointment. I believe they were fixing their chandelier I don't even remember but they were making it seem like these big improvements were going to be done. read more

Only 2 stars...one star for the convienant location and one star for comfortable wide seats. Everything else was unorganized, so outdated, nasty bathrooms and OUTRAGEOUS $30 for self parking. You do not need to charge that much for self parking for this venue. I would avoid going to an event there for sure. read more

Make sure you read your contract carefully before signing. The salesperson may promise certain perks or complimentary items, but if they are not specifically included in the contract, the event coordinator may not honor them later during the planning process. The pricing also feels difficult to justify considering the overall condition of the venue. The hosted bar option was quoted at $12 per well drink, meaning that for 150 guests, a single round of drinks would cost approximately $1,800 before the 24% service charge and taxes. While there is a BYOB option, it comes with a $1,900 corkage fee (plus service charge and taxes), and you are responsible for providing mixers, cups, and other bar supplies. One of the biggest concerns was the lack of transparency regarding how private events operate when a theater performance is taking place at the same time. The property includes multiple event spaces located close together, including a restaurant area, ballroom, and a theater that can accommodate around 1,000 guests. This setup can be confusing, and the impact on guest experience was not clearly explained during the sales process. Parking is another issue. Although the venue has its own parking lot, it does not appear large enough to comfortably accommodate multiple events happening simultaneously. My advice is to ask detailed questions, get every promise in writing, and carefully review all fees before booking. Interestingly, pricing became more flexible after communication slowed down, so it may be worth negotiating before signing a contract. read more

The website for The Grand Theater advertises free self-parking for guests. However, I was charged $10 and given a receipt from their All Events Catering that listed the charge as "Arabe" instead of parking. Staff on site presented it as a required parking fee, which directly contradicts what's stated online. This created confusion and felt misleading. The venue should ensure only authorized personnel collect any fees and that parking policies are clearly communicated and enforced on-site to avoid this kind of experience for other visitors. read more

Went there for the Mexico vs. Ecuador soccer game and all I can say about the venue is that it was overpriced!!!! A can of soda $5 the food tacos $3 I got carne asada nachos and the meat was not seasoned at all , the al pastor tacos also not seasoned at all, very bland. The horchatas that we got tasted more like milk with no horchata flavor. The food price and drink price was too much for what we got but we got there early so we didn't want to leave and loose our seats. The music choices were good but like many other comments it was extremely loud and I literally got a headache once we left.( so no the manager didn't fix the problem)( from previous comments) For the next game they're gonna charge $10 for parking so hopefully they get some one who knows how to do the food and drinks! Not sure if we will be going back. Also you can't bring your own drinks not even water!!!! They made me throw away my 1 bottle of water! read more

Went to a comedy show at the theater. The venue is worn out. The comedian's microphone kept cutting out. The lobby/bar area is cramped. The price of the show was reasonable ($52) but I was shocked when I arrived and found out that PARKING IS $30! I will not attend a show here again. read more

I recently organized a big event for my Artesia high school ... 50-year reunion with 180 people attending on October 5th at the Grand Theater Event Center in Anaheim.

Venue yelp review First off all I want to say our wedding was great and so much fun! The venue did a great job of making our vision come to life. Everything was very elegant and romantic. The staff was great. The bartenders did a great job and kept the bar with no lines the whole night. The drinks were delicious. Everyone raved about the food even the picky eaters. Now I will say it's best to get everything that is promised in writing just to avoid confusion later on! It'll save you the headaches. And keep in mind most of the add ons will have the tax and service fee on top of the price. But overall, we were completely satisfied with our wedding and our vendors and it was definitely a night to remember. read more

Everything was good. It looked elegant, everyone had a great time. You always have people that complain about something. I heard complaints about the food. I thought it was good! A big success I would say. I had issues with the Photo Booth. Still don't know how to get the pics I took. Other than that I had a blast and wished it lasted longer! Just not enough time to see and talk with everyone!! I give it 90 out of 100! read more

I attended a concert at the Grand Theater. It was one of the rainy days during the storm, but the event was very organized. They have two ballrooms for any occasions, beside the main theater. The venue was spacious and very clean. The sounds and the light were perfect. The seats were very comfortable. We paid twenty five dollars for the parking for the events. They don't allow any sealed water bottles or food because they have some beverages and snacks inside. The staff was very friendly and professional. In general it was a nice experience read more

I love this place. I got it from my daughter's 15th birthday. The food was great. The staff was very helpful. Very kind loved all the hard work. They did for me that night from the servers to bartender to security. Loved it all. I really recommend this place. read more

Great place to have your special event such as quinceañeras, wedding or private event!

I highly recommend this venue !!! read more

Such well kept venue. Attended my friend's daughter's sweet 15 and I was absolute blown away with this place. The staff the super friendly. I will advise you, if you are a heavy drinker be prepared to pay $20 a drink not including tip. They have mainly higher quality liquors for drinks. Not sure if the venue supplied the food but it was good. Not mind blowing but it was good. Security is on top of their game here. They check all bags. And have security at all doors and patrol. read more

Elizabeth was on top of everything from the very start. She was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. The venue was easy to work with and all the preferred vendors we hired did an awesome job. TGT staff were so nice and professional. All the guests LOVED the food!

Atmosphere doesn't match the venues and the men in the white van was recording vehicles. Update: I have a dashcam so not sure what I could lie about. This is my personal opinion and should not reflect any other staff in the business. If it's true that the white van wasn't associated to the company then they need someone out there to monitor the vehicles. Updated my review to 3 stars. read more

We just had our daughter's quince here this past Saturday, Nov 8th, and I was impressed with their level of service. From beginning to end, they were extremely helpful and courteous.

I definitely recommend this venue to all. read more

This venue is absolutely stunning and the customer service was top-notch from start to finish.

Beware! Hidden agenda and costs. The niceness and contracts mean nothing once you have paid. Recently had a large venue over 900 guests and omg what a horrific experience. 1. The owners invited outside friends to partake in the festivities when approached and asked why they did they simply replied "they're friends" even though this was a private "paid event" and they had no right to do this they declined to have them leave upon our request. His so called friend hustled his way to the artists dressing rooms to do business with them and this was seriously so wrong and distressing since the artist had contract stipulating no one would enter without consent and jeopardized our venue in being sued. 2. With almost a one thousand guests present they scammed with the alcohol that we provided to have served and reported pennies to what really was sold. Also boxes of tequila were kept by them and quote reported "lost" 3. The food was cold and and their staff not prepared to handle so many guests. 4. Parking was chaotic and overcharged 5. Our own security was replaced by their security who would want to pat down on female guests only! Very disturbing! Incident reported and was ignored. 6. They overcharged the technical part of the stage and theatre with a total of close to $80K in added costs. would not recommend and definitely would never hold another venue in this nitch of scammers. felt so discriminated and abused by one of the pseudo owners named Elizabeth. read more

Thank you to Liz who helped me all the way to make sure the our expectaions were met , that the program was done correctly and coordinated with Arturo!!

My fiancé and I had selected this location for our wedding this summer of 2023. We booked it almost a year in advance .Unfortunately my husband began experiencing sudden health decline after already paying thousands of dollars towards the event. He had multiple visits to the hospital in a really short period of time . I initially tried to postpone our wedding to a later date due to his health but they rejected the request . I did not cancel our wedding then and there. I wanted to occupy my energy on my husbands health . My husband was not progressing. Within the next two weeks I informed them I had to cancel the event even though we had already invested close to $10,000. It was not until after I canceled the event that they then mentioned if we wanted to push the date back . Why is is that the first time I asked to push the date back they said no ?! And now because they want the rest of the money they offer a later date . There is no possible way to set a date for the future. How can I do that ?!!! My husbands health is critical. I requested for most of the money back because honestly they had not put any work towards my event (I mean zero) , since I I book it well in advance. By the way I canceled the event before they even began to make preparations for it . I find it inhumane of them to take all that money so easily. Don't take a chance with this venue. Find another location to celebrate your weddings , quinceañeras , and other special occasions. I honestly thought this place would be reasonable , with my request give at least some of the money back . But instead they ignore any contact with you . This has been such a horrible experience. Make sure you look elsewhere!!! In addition to your response Elizabeth M. I did notify to your venue that my husband was experiencing health issues the first time I communicated with you guys .And you guys still denied me the opportunity to push my date back . And I was willing to push the date back , not until I realized how Severe my husband was . I'm sure you can easily book that date , as there are multiple people trying to get married or celebrate in the summer . I notified you guys well in advance . If you were in my same position . You would be doing the same as I am . Im not doing this because I care about the money . My husbands health is first. But it would be useful to help in his recovery if at all possible . What am I going to celebrate this celebration without my husband. To any woman booking their wedding here. Don't sign their contract . They pretend to care about their clients . But they don't . I do not wish this experience upon anyone . read more

This past weekend, we celebrated our daughter's Quinceañera at the Grand Theater and we LOVED everything about it! Our daughter is still over the moon with her Quince celebration. Thank you to the Grand Theater team for making the planning and day of event as seamless and stress-free for us. Customer service was top tier! Our guests loved the food (birria was the favorite dish) and the drinks Paloma and Margaritas were a hit. The staff crew was attentive and captain Jazmin was exceptionally great! If you are looking for a location to host your next event, give The Grand Theater a call! Location (especially if you are having out of town guests) and amenities it offers are above and beyond expectation. -Hiliana & Octavio Duran read more

TGT brings us alot of memories. From 5 years ago having my daughters Quinceañera there to last week (7/27/24) returning to celebrate my 2nd daughters Quinceanera. Everyone and i mean EVERYONE (the whole team) is soooo sweet and helpful. Liz listened to every minimal detailed i asked. Food was delicious. Simply an amazing VENUE where you get what you pay for.. worth every cent!! All my guest were very pleased and left talking wonderful things about the venue and the party. We have always been treated like Family there. Thank You all that made Madison's 15th Party one for the books!! Recomend 100000 times. read more

Now that the dust has settled and we've been able to reflect on the day we celebrated our nieces Quinceañera I feel I can prove an honest review. 1. The venue itself is large with ample space. With all the added decor it looked great. Guests were very impressed at how everything looked beautiful. There was a table the was behind one of the pillars and the guests could not see the dance floor (for the ceremony or Vals) I did ask the staff the move the table and they happily did the guests were able to see everything. 2. Food the day of was delicious. Guests were complimenting the food, which is great. 3. We had asked for the venue to be ready by 3:30 as my niece would be arriving for the reveal. Her head table was off we had to ask Liz to add another table (the throne chair was added therefore the head table was off center) the table was added but the table setting was not complete it was hanging off. Which was disappointing became in pictures you can clearly see the overlay hanging off. 4. Staff day of- the serving staff overall did a good job at communicating with myself and mom of the 15 however I was taken back when after the event guests let us know that the staff approached their tables and started removing what they thought was trash asked if they were finished because we were complaining that the tables had trash on them. You can imaging our reaction because how inappropriate to make such a comment to our guests. Our guests should not have known anything was wrong. 5. Bar- we paid for an extra bartender and bought out the bar. One of the bartenders left and never came back until the event was almost over. The reason we paid for an extra bartender was to avoid the lines as we didn't want our guest to wait for a drink. While Liz did reach out to refund us it was upsetting that we didn't have 2 the entire event. My theory is that he went to work at the other event. (They had a private dinner at another room- which we had been told that there were no other events happening that day). We did get our refund. Also I would like to add that both bartenders had great personalities and were very outgoing and friendly. We did say to put their tip jar out... 6. Seat cushions- we had gone to an open house prior to the event to see how we would set up the day of. One observation I made was that the seat cushions were either stained, miss matched, different material and pattern. And just didn't present well. I brought this to the attention of Angie who was with us and also Liz. Keep in mind the expectation is to have clean not stained items for the amount of being paid. Liz made a comment that they are cleaned prior to the event and rushed off due to an appt.. on the day of it was the farthest thing in our mind but I did appreciate Liz acknowledging that they were picking out the best ones. 7. Security Staff- they were on point and did a great job at directing our guest and keeping the younger ones in the venue. Which we appreciated. Overall my niece had no clue there was any issues she enjoyed her "BEST Day Ever" (as she put it) which is what it's all about she will have this memory forever. read more

Had an amazing wedding anniversary. Carmen was amazing and communicative from the beginning but final meeting ended with Elizabeth. A little stressful since I had been communicating with Carmen but Elizabeth was great. 1. I Forgot forks and lighter for my centerpieces and Jasmine helped resolve those things. 2. AC is not equipped for a summer celebration at this venue unfortunately. They cater to 600+ guest and I only had 250 guests so didn't make sense why AC was SO BAD, my husband, myself and some guests tried talking to Jasmin and the staff about it but all Jasmin said it's a hot day and the AC is on & unfortunately the temp can't get the room under 80 degrees. 3. Pro: Got provided a private suite to change but again extremely hot in there, tried practicing my first dance but Jasmin said she'd bring me a fan and must've forgotten. 4. Bartender stated the reason they didn't use my mixers was because guests weren't enjoying them, got back almost all juices for my margaritas felt like a waste of money. I always use the ingredients provided for my family parties and they never complain. 5. Bar sold my guests pineapple juice in bulk to supply my bar. This is a pro/con, I'm glad they have backup ingredients for sale, but the sale should've been solely to my husband or I. As I wouldn't have approved the purchase. Got sold a 12 pack of pineapple juice 1 hour before event ended for one 1 juice to be used in that hour, that was a bit disheartening that my family and friends spent money on something that was realistically not needed. 6. The staff left the chandelier florals from the previous event up for my event and I really appreciated that. Thank you to the staff at The Grand Theater for my event. read more
