I had the most beautiful "Baby in Bloom" baby shower at the Monarch Ballroom, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! A huge thank you to Kristina, the co-owner and event manager, who went above and beyond to make my vision come to life. From the very beginning, she stayed in constant communication, keeping me updated every step of the way and making the entire planning process stress-free. I booked the decoration package, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Every detail was absolutely gorgeous--from the stunning balloon wall to the fresh flowers on each table. The space looked elegant, welcoming, and even more beautiful than I had imagined. read more

We decided to take dancing lessons for our first dance at our wedding. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. Max was such an amazing teacher! He created such a fun and comfortable learning environment for two people who had no clue how to dance. We just got done with our wedding and everyone couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the first dance was! I would highly recommend taken lessons with them. read more

This review is long overdue. My Sisters and I held our Mom's retirement celebration at The Monarch Ballroom back in August. The venue was perfect for an intimate celebration. We were happy to find a venue that allowed outside catering which allowed us to serve all of our Mom's favorites. The customer service provided by Kristina was phenomenal. Her decorating skills were amazing. Their packages are affordable. I'll definitely look to use this venue again and highly recommend it for others. read more

A little late on this review, but we want to thank Max and Edgar for helping my husband and me with our wedding choreography last year. Both are incredibly talented and patient--they truly listened to our vision and brought our dance to life. In just about eight private sessions, they quickly put together creative choreography that fit us perfectly. We loved how adaptable they were, incorporating our love for EDM into an acoustic ballroom piece that transitioned seamlessly into a salsa-bachata-EDM mix. It all flowed beautifully! It was such a pleasure working with both of them, and we highly recommend their classes. read more

We held our baby shower at The Monarch Ballroom and it was exactly how we imagined! Kristina was quick to respond to our inquiries and let us know the date we had in mind was unavailable. She provided us with other options available with the venues calendar. We communicated through email and a phone call cleared up any questions and details on packages and pricing. Everything was completely customizable and she worked with us on what we wanted the event to look like. We scheduled a viewing of the venue to discuss colors and theme as well as a walkthrough. The place is amazing, quaint but serviced our party of about 65 guests very well! Although she was unfamiliar with our theme choice she made the effort to research and create something truly amazing. Last minute we decided to add flower arrangements and we're so glad we did. All our guests were super impressed. Kristina was attentive and communicative throughout the process and very flexible. We hope to host more events here in the future. Couldn't have been happier! read more

Monarch Ballroom is a hidden gem. I was looking for a venue to host my 50th birthday and found them on yelp. I was pleasantly surprised with the pricing and the decor. It has an elegant look to it and it's very clean and modern. It's an inviting space and Kristina was great to work with. I gave her my color scheme and vision and it was beyond my expectations. My guests were in awe of the decor as well. I had the decor package so all we had to do bring our food and drink. Can't wait to have another party at this location. I highly recommend this location. You have to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it! read more

We had a little over 60 guest a charcuterie table a cake table and a DJ also a taco man outside in front. We were also able to store things in the fridge and bring things before event started. The venue itself was beautiful but she did her stuff and executed my vision with the decoration and set up for our mom's party. I would definitely recommend this venue. Thank you so much for having us and letting us have such an incredible party there we greatly appreciate it and you ! read more

Max and the team at The Monarch Ballroom are amazing. My fiance and I reached out a month out from our wedding to schedule a couple of lessons, we thought we would learn a few steps with the timeline we gave them. Fast forward, 5 classes later, we had an entire 1st dance choreographed. It was such a great experience, we had a lot of fun and felt extremely confident going into our dance last weekend. Thank you Max!! read more

Had some dance classes with Max in preparation for our wedding. He was great, we felt very comfortable with him, and he had us ready for our big day despite our lack of dance talent. Thank you, Max! read more

I wanted to do swing dancing for my bachelorette party and had the most wonderful experience at Monarch! Max was so easy to work with and very responsive and helped organize a private class for my group of 14 girls. It was very flexible, letting us choose a day and time that worked well with our schedule. Sabrina our instructor was absolutely amazing and had so much fun energy. She very kindly took photos and videos for us too. Also the ballroom is beautiful and there are tons of mirrors. Easy parking too. Very reasonable price. LOVED IT! read more

I wish I could give The Monarch Ballroom and Kristina more than 5 stars! My fiancé and I held our engagement party here and Kristina was so wonderful to work with. We opted for the second tier package (the ballroom + decoration package) and Kristina absolutely blew it away. More than a month after our engagement party and we're still getting compliments on the amazing balloon arch and centerpieces that Kristina put together for us. She even customized a "She said yes" LED sign that I didn't know was going to be there. It was so easy to communicate with Kristina (via text or email) and she was so kind & patient as we shared our ideas for decor with her. If we ever need to throw another party, we're definitely coming back to The Monarch Ballroom. Thank you, Kristina! read more

My fiancé and I wanted a formal, simple, yet polished first dance choreographed for our wedding. We wanted a chance to connect with each other in between turns/spins without having too much choreography to think about. We took 2 lessons with Max and we accomplished all that we wanted and then some! He empowered us with no ballroom experience to look professional and made us laugh and have so much fun learning. We can't wait to show our wedding guests! Thank you Max!! read more

My husband and I are so grateful for our experience at The Monarch Ballroom. We purchased 10 dance lessons to choreograph our first wedding song, and it turned out to be an absolute dream thanks to Max, our incredible instructor. Max was not just a dance instructor; he was a true artist, a choreographer extraordinaire, and a consummate professional. His patience, innovation, friendliness, and unwavering attention to detail made each lesson an absolute pleasure. We came in with Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" as our chosen song, which is not the easiest piece to choreograph for a wedding dance. However, with Max's guidance and expertise, it became a seamless journey. Max built up our confidence and skill to ensure that our routine was flawless and unforgettable. He incorporated breathtaking lifts, elegant spins, and a touch of ballroom flair that had our guests in awe on our wedding day. I cannot recommend The Monarch Ballroom highly enough. If you're looking to create a dance routine that will be a showstopper on your wedding day, this is the place! read more

My fiancée and I signed up for dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding and we had an amazing experience. Our instructor, Eduard, was wonderful to work with. He was very knowledgable and helped us come up with a complete choreography from our song choice. He was also very kind and patient and helped tweak the routine to accommodate our skill levels. The owner, Max, was also very kind and always communicative if we had any questions. We are so glad that we chose to go with the Monarch Ballroom and would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to learn to dance at all skill levels. We couldn't be happier with the result! read more

Overall, I would recommend the Monarch Ballroom for wedding dance lessons! We did an intro special and then booked 5 lessons with Courtney, for our first dance. Courtney was a kind instructor, and she was always receptive to our feedback! Our last lesson did feel a bit rushed though, and we were only shown the ending one time, and rather quickly, so we had to improvise the last portion on our own, at home. I would just make it clear that by the end of your lesson package you would like to walk away with a full choreographed dance, with a rehearsed ending. read more

I am a huge fan of this beautiful dance and event space, owned by a wonderful couple who are professional, personable and super positive. As a dance professional, I can confidently say that working with Max and Kristina is a real pleasure! My tango students also love this space and can't wait to come back every week to take a more classes. Location is also wonderful and offers plenty of street parking and safe environment for those concerned when coming and going later in the evenings. Lastly, I am so impressed by Kristina's talent when it comes to creating a perfect set for any type of a special event. The decor she creates is absolutely stunning! I feel so happy to have come across this wonderful dance studio. Truly a little gem in the South Bay. read more

5 stars are honestly not enough to rate our experience with Monarch Ballroom. My fiance and I wanted to do a choreographed first dance for our wedding but we had no ballroom experience and had only a couple months to go until our big day. Edward was amazing he created a routine that we were comfortable with and patiently worked with us to really prepare us for the big day. Taking on the task of learning a dance routine on top of wedding planning can be stressful but Max was always kind and caring. Our first dance was already going to be a special moment but because of the lovely choreography everyone definitely became more wrapped up in the moment and teared up. It was an honor to be part of such a kind community. read more

This was the perfect space for my 40th birthday. Kristina is so sweet and talented! I sent her inspo pictures and she went above and beyond to recreate the vibe.

Leading up to my wedding in February this year, my mother wanted to do something different for the mother/son dance. Aside from a traditional dance, she wanted to add a little Latin flare (Salsa) to our first dance. With the help of Max, who was able to work us into the schedule, we booked several classes with Edward to work on our dance routine. Edward was great! He was an amazing teacher, with the patience to improve our dancing skills as well as choreograph our big dance. It was a pleasure to work with him and Max. After a few classes with Edward, my wife and I decided to go with Edward as well for a special dance that we wanted to do at our wedding. Since my wife was very young, she absolutely loved the movie Dirty Dancing and had one wish for her wedding, that we would be able to do the "Dirty Dancing Dance". Edward was able to work with us for a couple classes, to help us choreograph this dance as well! He was very helpful to get my dancing skills up to par with my wife's, as well as choreograph the dance and give us some great pointers on the lift! Both the mother/son dance, as well as the special dance with my wife and I at our wedding, turned out great! We did it! We really appreciate Max and Edward's help with making sure that we were ready for our big dances...after all, we only had one attempt at both of them! Ha! Thank you! read more

I chose Monarch to vendor my mom's surprise 60th birthday party, and I would 100% do business with them for any occasion moving forward. Kristina did a fantastic job from bringing the decorations to life, working closely with us to meet our budget needs, and to being so easily available by phone throughout our event any time we needed assistance. Our guests couldn't stop RAVING about how the event turned out, and everyone was taking plenty of pictures. I could not have done this without Kristina's creative eye for design, and just wonderful services altogether. She went above and beyond to make it a memorable night for my mom. read more

I am so happy I chose this venue for my daughter's graduation party. Kristina went above and beyond my expectations and service. From the very beginning she was available to reply to my questions via text, phone and email. I had emailed a few locations when I was searching for a venue and she was the first to reply within an hour or less. All others replied a day or even a week later. She was very accommodating to meet up and give us a tour. She explained with great detail how it all worked. I was looking for a place where I wouldn't be stressing and Kristina made that happen! From the setup to the clean up they took care of it. Her decorations are AMAZING!!!!! She understood perfectly what we wanted. She kindly made suggestions on what has worked for others when it came to food and I'm glad I listened to her. Everything went so smoothly from the very beginning to the end of the party. I STRONGLY recommend The Monarch Ballroom for your next event. Don't let the size fool you. We were able to accommodate 90 people and it was very comfortable. Kristina my family and I cannot thank you enough for making this so special. It was a pleasure working with you and meeting your sweet family. Thank you so much again. I promise, we WILL be coming back! read more

My husband and I reached out to schedule a dance lesson for our first dance for our wedding and I'm so grateful that we found this studio. He spoke with Max and scheduled our first dance lesson, and it couldn't have been better. We were so nervous and intimated as we have two left feet, but Max was so friendly and patient with us as we did our best to follow along. To our surprise and with Max's help, we discovered that we enjoyed dancing and had such a positive experience with him. We purchased the silver package (5 private dance lessons) and it became something we looked forward to every week. Max was an amazing instructor and helped us choreograph a beautiful first dance for our wedding. Thank you for the wonderful lessons and giving us the confidence to perform on our wedding day! We hope to be back soon whether for a dance lesson or to host an event in your lovely space! All the best, Sarah and Matt read more

My dear friend referred me to Kristina to help design and plan my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday party. My daughter is a Teenzilla, especially when it comes to decorating and wanting her perfect party...each theme and very specific with colors. Kristina came through and did not disappoint. We talked on the phone, I sent her my daughter's invitation so she can see her theme, Kristina just took it and ran with it. She is so detailed, and came up with some great ideas and designs for my baby. Thank you Kristina for everything, the kids had a great time and most importantly, my daughter will never forget her sweet 16! read more

Wonderful experience with Monarch Ballroom! My fiancé and I signed up for dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding and couldn't be happier with the experience. First of all, Max is kind and caring. He communicates extremely well to make sure we are happy and with our experience. Eduard was such a joy to work with, and he made us feel very comfortable as we had no previous Dance experience. He was very accommodating to our needs. The Monarch Community as a whole is extremely positive. We looked forward to our dance lesson every week. The ballroom is also a great place to have a party or event. I am so glad I discovered Monarch Ballroom as we will definitely be back in the near future. read more

There are no words to say how amazing this venue is. Kristina was the most helpful during the entire planning process from beginning to end. From our initial tour, to seeing what can be done and coming back in to brain storm ideas on my vision, I felt no stress or rush in our entire process. Kristina was available via phone/text whenever i needed her with answer to my questions, and or to send her ideas i had for my vision. Not to mention i barley had to lift a finger to make this turn out so beautiful! We chose the decor package which includes 3 different decoration options. We personally chose the balloon arch/ photo backdrop, dessert table, and linens around the venue. She was able to fully transform this space into something out of my dreams. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. Don't let the size of it fool you, it holds 80 people comfortably. It's a lot bigger than the photos show as well. I would 100% recommend this venue for any baby shower, birthday party, wedding reception, anything! 10/10!!! read more

My (now) husband and I took private dance lessons here with Max in preparation for our first dance at our wedding. We were both basically starting at zero with our dance abilities, and we were hoping to learn enough to make it through without embarrassing ourselves too much. In just a few lessons Max turned us into quite the dancing duo! He choreographed our first dance to the song we chose, and gave us so much confidence during every lesson. He really made us feel like we were going to be ok- and we were! We even began looking forward to the dance lessons and practiced at home- it became such a fun part of the wedding planning experience! Highly recommend working with him! read more

I am beyond grateful for all the support and dedication Kristina did to make my vision come to life for my husband's surprise 40th. She absolutely left me speechless with how everything turned out and was so helpful even though I probably messaged her more than a hundred times she was so gracious and patient with me. She exceeded my expectations and took my vision to the next level. She is soo talented with everything she does and I can't thank her enough for all the hard work she did to make everything literally perfect for my husband. My husband was so shocked with everything and he was left without words of how amazed and awed he was with the whole ambiance and location itself. The only thing I wish I did was have more time because I didn't want to leave the whole vibe was awesome and the experience is one for the books a great location with an amazing coordinator that went above and beyond. Kristina you are an amazing wonderful person you are truly an angel. I can confidentiality say I will definitely book this venue again in the near future. read more

The owners are very professional, kind, and respectful to what we wanted at our baby shower. Every detail was thought out through and through making the event run smoothly. Nobody wanted the party to end! There was enough room in the ballroom to eat, dance, play games, and entertain! The ballroom was impeccably clean and beautiful. Classy, elegant, and tasteful.
