No one wants to read a negative wedding venue review, and overall, our wedding day was wonderful. I…read moreunderstand that we were a difficult couple, especially due to all the restrictions with COVID guidelines. But I was hoping for a little more than we got, especially from the staff. The venue itself is beautiful. I knew as soon as we walked in that my (then) fiancee would love the place and that we were done looking at venues. The high ceilings, chandeliers, brick and hardwood... the whole aesthetic was amazing. The catering staff (the catering company owns the venue, so if you want to get married at The Estate, you have to hire Jay's Catering) was really good, and they worked with us to individually package to-go meals for our guests since we couldn't in good conscience have all of our guests eating together. Now for the difficulties. As I said before, our wedding was during COVID-19, so we dealt with a number of restrictions. We were also a difficult couple to deal with because we had to keep changing plans as the government placed greater restrictions and/or eased restrictions. We needed to be talking to the venue and catering coordinators quite a bit, as we increased and decreased guest counts and talked through all the different precautions that needed to be made. Toward the beginning of our working with them, both coordinators (Jeanne and Sierra) were very communicative and prompt, but as time wore on (and our wedding day grew closer) we were having more and more difficulty getting a hold of them. There was a point fairly early on where we realized that if I (the groom) called or emailed, I would get a terse, sometimes unhelpful response in a day or three. However, if my fiancee (the bride) called or emailed, she would get a prompt response that answered all of her questions thoroughly. As a groom who wanted to be involved in our wedding process, it was particularly irritating to be sidelined like this. The sound system wasn't what I was expecting. I help out from time to time with audio at church, so I'm used to working with venue sound systems. The Estate's sound system was set up more like a home theater. There were a few inputs, but everything was running through a central receiver rather than through a sound board. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem, but since it was COVID season, we were livestreaming the ceremony. Their system was incapable of handling that complication, so we ended up paying the livestream company an additional fee to bring in their own sound equipment so that we could have sound for both the in person attendees as well as the livestream viewers. There's a small parking lot in the back that is shared by some nearby vendors, and we were told that we'd have the whole lot (about 35 spaces) for our guests to use. When we arrived on the morning of our wedding, we were told that we were able to use about 8 spaces because the venue coordinator hadn't reserved the parking lot. We were also supposed to have a curtain that divided the main room so that the bride wouldn't be seen too early. That curtain was nowhere to be seen. After a lot of running around and numerous phone calls, our wedding coordinator discovered that the curtain had been used at a different venue the previous day (the catering company owns multiple venues) and wasn't returned. Our coordinator was able to find a spare curtain that was much smaller, but got the job done, but the whole situation left us feeling rather disappointed. So all in all, we were happy with the way things ended up looking, but there were several little things that added up to a large amount of unnecessary frustration.

Hannah, Jeanne and Erin were amazing and made everything perfect for our special day. Day of wedding our guest raved about the h'orderves, dinner, bar service and overall customer service from all staff. Thank you to the entire staff for making our wedding day so special. The Estate is our hidden gem that we finally got to share with friends and family.

Where do I even start, yesterday, 7-10-26, we had our wedding. My husband and I are so so glad that…read morewe chose the White House Event Center for our venue. From the start, everyone was super nice. Yanel and Jovan were super helpful and accommodating to our budget, we're very grateful that they worked with us to help make this possible. Our Day of Coordinator, Sarah, was on top of her game. From the moment we met her and we did the final layout walkthrough with her, we knew we were in good hands. Because of her, we were able to enjoy our big day knowing that whatever we needed she had under control. We did not lift one finger at all. We just had to focus on having a good time. The entire white house staff were all very professional as well. They took care of cleaning up around the venue beforehand, setting up, and cleaning up afterwards. Anything we needed, they were all on top of right away. The food was also very delicious. We've gotten all sorts of positive feedback from guests that they loved the food. We did the short rib, mashed potatoes, shrimp, and fettuccini alfredo, which all were a big hit. During the dinner service, the DJ kept the vibes going. He kept this on through the rest of the night as well, keeping a close eye on the dance floor and mixing it up to keep the energy flowing. We 100% would recommend booking the White House if you're looking for a seamless perfect day not just for yourself but also for guests to enjoy.

TLDR: EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!! WHEC was a convenient venue that had everything we needed…read more My husband is Vietnamese, so we were looking for a pretty outdoor ceremony only venue with the intention of going a Vietnamese reception venue later. Visually, the White House didn't catch my eye, but their sister location The Estate did, and they informed me that they work with Paracel Catering (Chinese-Vietnamese wedding banquet) so this drew us in. While The Estate was beautiful, it didn't quite fit our needs (higher guest count and indoor space) so we went to check out the White House with low expectations but open minds. The White House has 4 spaces: the first floor of the White House will host the entrance and cocktail hour, upstairs is the bridal/groom getting ready suites, courtyard, and reception hall. It was so spacious and felt like we were getting multiple venues in one. It had the outdoor ceremony space that I wanted and the Vietnamese reception that he wanted and was 10-20k cheaper than other places that had that. And it would be so convenient for us and our guests that we were only at one location all day. The upstairs was so nice. Only some places we toured had bridal suites but it's even more rare for a grooms suite and the morning of it was a little tricky not having him see me, but overall it was really nice that we were all together. And when family came and they felt like they could go upstairs, it wasn't such a big deal because the area was so spacious. The courtyard was beautiful, once it was transformed it was everything I had imagined. The only problem was that the men were all in the shade and the bridesmaids and I were all in the sun. Nothing they could do about that except maybe plant another tree for more shade. We were taking pictures, but the cocktail hour was indoor and outdoor, so that was nice that our guests had the option. The reception hall was a little tricky because it was LONG and because we had filled it with 31 tables it was really tight, but I think it looked really beautiful all filled up. Also, other venues we toured the ceilings were high so it felt like you had to decorate the ceiling, thankfully, theirs is already draped and low so there's nothing you have to do about it. I didn't eat much but we heard the food was good!! And I LOVED the LED dance floor, soooo fun!! The staff was great. The venue provides a day of coordinator so that is amazing! Unfortunately the first salesperson coordinator we were originally working with left before our wedding, but Sarah came in and did an amazing job!! The venue is BYOB so we got to save money there and the bartender gave us recommendations of how much to buy based on our bar menu. They also offer in house photography, DJ and florals if you're looking for convenient options! CONS/Things to be aware of: 1. There are two "White House"s in Anaheim so be very clear to your guests which one, two of our groomsmen went to the other one the night of our rehearsal. 2. They share the parking lot with Adventure City so the ceremony can't start until 5, which is probably great for your guests, but I would have loved to start earlier. Also, because of this, there is an overflow lot that closes at 8, so just make sure your guests move their cars before 8. 3. The reception hall is very LONG, thankfully our DJ came with us to check it out so he could be prepared. Overall, we were so happy with our experience and would absolutely recommend it!

I can't recommend this place enough and we haven't even had our even yet!!!!!!! (I will update my…read morereview after...) My husband and I decided to renew our vows in the formal setting and have a backyard reception. Well, the weather had other plans for us. So, NINE days before the event we decided to move it indoors but I was hesitant because it was so last minute I was worried I would be taken advantage of. I did a random search and found The Classic Fullerton Ballroom and sent an email requesting some information. Within about 30 minutes I had a reply. I called and spoke with Leanna and KNEW this was the place! Her love of the building came through and made me super excited to go see it in person. The pictures online do NOT do it justice! Customer service goes a LONG way with me. When my husband and I went in that evening to speak with her, Leanna was INCREDIBLY friendly and knowledgeable about planning events. She asked us questions we hadn't even thought of! She was patient and explained everything to us. She didn't hide any charges and was very open and honest about pricing and about what, exactly, comes with the charges. Customer service aside, the place is AMAZING!!!!! It is a historical building and you get a vibe when you walk in that just relaxes you and takes you back to a more relaxed, classy time. We can not wait to see how it all comes together... And we KNOW it will. She doesn't have many yelp reviews and when I asked why, Leanna told me it was because they advertise more on some website (I forgot the name) that is like an Air BnB for venues. I've included an older link from wedding wire so you can see the pictures. https://www.weddingwire.com/reviews/historic-fullerton-ballroom-fullerton/618b8652d586ec20.html Again, we can NOT wait for the day to arrive so we can celebrate in this amazing venue!

We booked the hall for our son's wedding shower in May 2019. The event hosted about 50 guests. The…read morefacility was partitioned into three main, connected spaces: the main hall, the lobby, and the kitchen. Main hall. The main hall is a large room with a sturdy wood floor (perfect for dancing), very high ceiling (maybe 20 feet), abundant chandeliers for lighting, a small stage, and cushioned seating along the sides. The room was equipped with an amplified audio system that boomed music from our mobile devices - attached using a mini-jack. We also used a wireless hand-held microphone that was great for communicating to our noisy guests across such a large space. We set up eight tables for our guests and two tables for food, and still had lots of free open space for moving around. Lobby. The lobby is attached to the main hall through two large doors at the back of the hall. It is carpeted, spacious and proved to be a welcoming space for our arriving guests. The lobby is equipped with a bar made out of substantial hardwood and was an attractive spot for guests lean against and fill up on beer, wine and soft drinks. The hired bartender had plenty of room to store his supplies of drinks, cups, tapper, and ice. Yea, the lobby had a nice feel. And because of this, I would recommend that your pre-meal hors d'oeuvres and snacks be placed in the lobby, and not in the main hall. Restrooms. Very clean and spacious Men's and Women's restrooms are attached to the lobby. Kitchen. The kitchen is across a corridor at the corner of the front of the hall. This short corridor basically is the landing for the back entrance to the facility. Stairs and elevator dump onto the corridor and, voila, there is the kitchen too. The kitchen isn't large. It's about the size the kitchen in your house. Maybe a bit smaller. It is equipped with lots of counter space for conducting food operations. There is a standard refrigerator, and sink. The small size of the kitchen was the only "not great" feature of the facility. Still, all food-related operations proceeded without a hitch. Loading and unloading. There is a "loading Zone" (yellow curb) directly adjacent to the back entrance of the building. Up to two vehicles can park there. This was very convenient for loading/unloading gear, food, and drinks. The path to the hall from the loading zone is very direct - from the loading zone, enter the building, then the stairs and the elevator are right there. Go to the second floor and land just outside the kitchen. Parking. It is free to park in lots near the facility. This hall is located in a spot in Fullerton that is very popular for nightlife activities. There is a bunch of clubs, restaurants, and pubs in the immediate vicinity. As a result, we found that getting a parking spot close to the hall... well it didn't happen. So we found parking easily enough in the nearby city parking structure (free), and in the lot near the train station (free). Since the parking lots and parking structure are very well lit at night, and since there was bubbly activity of people out for the evening, we always felt safe as we walked to our car late at night. Train station. One additional item to consider. The hall is located across the parking lot from the Fullerton train station. Depending on the timing of your event, your guests might want to consider riding the Amtrak or the Metrolink to your event. But remember to confirm train schedules because weekend schedules are different from weekday schedules. Finally, we found this hall to be a classy, attractive and feature-filled venue that supported all our activities, including socializing, dining, program presentation, music, and dancing. Logistics were easily supported by the adjacent loading zone, stairs, elevator and kitchen. We would definitely book this facility again if we had the need. In the meantime, I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a spacious facility to host your important social gatherings.

I spent months trying to get in touch with someone regarding hosting my daughter's wedding at this…read morevenue. During that time, I made multiple phone calls and sent several emails, but unfortunately, I never received a response. Because of the complete lack of communication, we've decided to look elsewhere for a wedding venue. First impressions matter, and if a venue cannot respond to a prospective client who is simply trying to schedule a tour and receive a quote, it raises serious concerns about the level of service they provide throughout the planning process. While I can't speak to the quality of their events, I can speak to my experience as a potential customer, which was disappointing. Based on the lack of communication alone, I would not recommend this venue to other brides or families looking for a reliable and responsive wedding team.

Where do I even begin?! When I was searching for a wedding…read morevenue, nothing felt quite right--until we visited the Golleher Alumni House. The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for: warm, vintage, and beautiful. And don't even get me started on the incredible coordinator, Bonnie! If you're a future bride considering this venue, here are a few reasons why I highly recommend it: #1: Bonnie is amazing. She's flexible, helpful, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day perfect. She's not just a great coordinator--she's a wonderful person. Honestly, I'm sad my wedding is over because I don't get to talk to her anymore! #2: Free weekend parking. Since it's on the CSUF campus, the parking lot is available and free for you and your guests on weekends. Huge plus! #3: Naturally beautiful ambiance. This venue hardly needs any extra decor, especially at night. I saved so much on decorations because the space already looked stunning on its own. #4: So much room! I was surprised by how spacious it was. We had 130 guests, an illustrator, a basketball arcade game, a photo booth, buffet station, and a dessert station--and it never felt cramped. #5: Total flexibility. You just rent the venue and then have full control over your vendors. It helped us stay within budget and choose exactly what we wanted--nothing we didn't. If you're on the fence about the Alumni House--don't be. My wedding there was absolutely perfect, and I have zero regrets!
