    I just had my wedding reception here and it was such a smooth process. The staff were very responsive to my emails as well. This is the perfect location for a small but formal event with affordable rental prices. You will have to bring your own sound system as they only provide a small speaker with a mic. After the reception, the staff present was very nice. She took care of all the trashes. We did a walk through and were not charged any extra fees.

    I held my sons 1st birthday here. This hall is clean and well kept. The staff was great. They were quick to respond to my questions by phone or email. We had a Taco truck and guests were able to go in and out. As with all Halls They have lots of rules but understandable. The tables and chairs were already set up when we arrived.

    Sunshine event center is THE spot for a party hall in the Elk Grove area. We has my nephew's 2nd birthday party there and it was perfect! When we toured, we found the hall to be very spacious and clean. Lois, was quick to respond to our conerned weather we called and emailed. The entire staff was present during the day of the even and were super helpful throughout the entire event. Definitely highly recommended if you ever need an affordable, spacious, and well organized facility. But make sure to reserve in advance as they often get busy and are almost always fully booked.

    It's a really good size place to host a good size party!! Up to 200 guests and comes with tables and chairs! Photos of my couple hours of set up are attached!! Wish there was more time to set up but unfortunately I can not afford more hours :) but the staff are very friendly and helpful!

    See all

    I was very interested in having my wedding here. I've left a voicemail and emailed twice. I guess they dont want my business.

    Ask the Community - The Sunshine Event Center

    Hi! We put in a deposit last week, we keep calling and emailing but have gotten nothing? How do we get a hold of the event center?

    If you wanted to extend the time how much would it be?

    To extend the time of your event we ask that a 30 day notice is given if possible. Each additional hour is $150.

    Do you have a kitchen on site?

    No, we do not have a full working kitchen. We do have a sink, in the bar area. We also provide you with use of a microwave, refrigerator and freezer we have on site.

    Are there any deposit fees? Or is $675 the flat rate for everything (4 hours)

    Hi, We have no hidden fees. $675 is the total cost of a 4 hour rental on Sunday - Friday. We do require a deposit at the time of reservation. The deposit is subtracted directly out of the total rental cost. For example: 675 total rental cost… Read more

    How high are the walls in feet for the big event hall?

    Hi, I believe the walls are about 18 feet high, give or take a foot.

We held a corporate event at this space due to our typical hotel ballroom being unavailable. This venue was an overall fail for us. 1. Setting - It was a bit dated and run down. The fixtures are gaudy, but in cheesy way. Quilted vinyl on the walls, gold-plated silverware, and a rusted carriage outside. 2. Service - The staff was fairly intrusive and unprofessional. The busgirl started wheeling around a creaky cart with plastic gray bus tubs in the middle of our dinner. After we asked the event manager to have her quit that, she came back out without the cart but with the same dingy gray plastic tubs. She also tried to take our speakers' plates while they were at the podium. The staff needs some training on proper service standards. 3. Food - The food was mixed. Multiple attendees commented that the food was sub-par. The cheese and app course looked great. The mains were less successful. Mushy short ribs and salmon that looked like they threw it in the chafing dish just didn't meet expectations. The vegetables left a lot to be desired - they were ok, but underwhelming. I would also note that there was no ice out for the water or iced tea. 4. Cleanliness - big L on this front. One of the stalls in the men's room had an unprofessional hand-written out of order sign on it. Guys - just hire a plumber. We also experienced a leak from the celling that left a gross brown liquid on one of our place settings. This is unacceptable for a corporate event, even more so for a wedding. So overall, the staff was pleasant to work with and nice enough. That said, I just can't imagine taking the risk of scheduling a large important event at this venue.

    My cousin's had their baby shower at the community center here last Sunday. It's a great event…read morespace to hold large group parties of 50 people of more. The event space is very spacious which includes the main area plus a huge full in-house kitchen. They provide round tables and chairs included with in the rental. All that you need is decorations like table covers to really make the place pop. You are basically given a blank slate to decorate it up to your theme. The only thing they don't allow as decorations is balloons and confetti, as those are difficult to clean up. They don't have a sound system, so you would need to provide that yourself. The restrooms are clean with two stalls for each the men's and women's restrooms. Because the community center has windows throughout, so much natural light makes the space warm and inviting. Great party space to consider for your next event!

    This was my second time at the Elk Grove Pavillion. My first time was probably over 40 years ago…read morewhen I had my wedding reception here! My memory isn't as good as it used to be, but I don't think it has changed much inside since then. Unfortunately, returning here was for a sad occasion. A good friend and avid Yelper, had recently passed away and we were all gathered together to celebrate Kali D's life. https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bs8BgzMjnn5kmpCGstMDKg A multitude of loving family members and friends attended. It was a very nice turn out. The Pavillion was a perfect place to have a memorial. Adequate room for the placement of tables & chairs. There is a full kitchen in the back where caterers set up along with buffet table. Very similar at how my reception was arranged including a space for a band or DJ. There is also plenty of parking surrounding the building. I was surprised to see that after all these years I would only be the second Yelper to review this hall located in the ever popular Elk Grove Park. A place holding important memories that I will always cherish.......

We sat down inside and were greeted by a very friendly waitress. Food came out super quick. We ordered the Okie Nachos and Brussels Sprouts... and they hit the spot! Okie Nachos were fresh homemade potato chips with delicious toppings. A tiny bit too saucy, but if you're looking for pub food, they're a 9/10. Brussels Sprouts were nicely crispy and complimented by a mild balsamic glaze, 8.5/10. Overall, would definitely recommend this place. Awesome vibes, service, and food!

The place has nice chill vibes Service super slow we sat at the bar & we were help once didn't come back check on us in a very long time. We waited about 40 mins for a burger and pretzel. A bit disappointing they ran out of French fries. They have no cider, however Strawberry Margarita Selzter was good. The burger and pretzel were okay, the guacamole had no salt and there was a big chunk of tomato in guacamole. Pretzel sauce bit spicy it was the highlight of my meal. Location great plenty of parking and outside looks amazing. Overall, okay I just won't like wait that long now imagine if it was a packed service can be a nightmare. It's too bad I was really looking forward for this place.

I walked into their lobby and was amazed how beautiful and high tech the interior design looked. I loved it! I booked my stay and was on the 2nd floor of the 3 story hotel. My room overlooked the pool. They are in the middle of renovations and soon this hotel will be even better...hard to believe. I went to breakfast which was free and was again amazed at what had changed in the world. The first was a pancake machine where you just push a button and you can watch 2 pancakes get poured, moved on a conveyer belt as they cook and then drop onto your plate. Be sure to have your plate ready..haha. The breakfast bar was clean and well stocked with eggs, sausage, oatmeal and so much more. The coffee station was fantastic. It is open 24 hours and you choose your coffee beans, had decaf, if you know me, lol, then the coffee machine brewed and then poured my coffee. A truly fantastic coffee station. My room was so beautiful and clean with so many nice touches. I love the dove hand wash and body lotion. Love it here tub and shower shampoo, conditioner and body wash. So many towels and a fridge and microwave. The bed was soft with 4 pillows. A nice size tv and the room was just lovely. Souzan checked me in with kindness and professional style and I decided to become a Holiday sink Express member right then. Even though I am only here one night, I will definitely cone back here to Elk Grove Holiday Inn Express again. It is also next to Mimi's Cafe and Old Navy. What a great location. Thank you all, see you again. Julie A
