The getting ready area upstairs is beautiful and very spacious as well. We had about 65 guests - the max for the venue is 120, but I think it would be pretty crowded at that number. For 65 it was perfect. We had access to the venue the day before for set-up and rehearsal which was super helpful, and we and our coordinator had a very easy time working with the groundskeeper for day-of logistics. The 3D tour on the website is very accurate and helped us a lot when planning between site visits. I definitely recommend Shakespeare Club for your small to medium size events and weddings!

(Attended 3/10/12 SA): A hidden gem in the middle of Eagle Rock that I never knew exist. How fun!…read more My cousin celebrated her 40th birthday here, and I never got an exact answer as to how she came about renting out the Women's Twentieth Century Club located in the heart of Eagle Rock on Colorado Blvd. For all the time I've spent in Eagle Rock enjoying the many places to eat and visiting friends (I've even eaten at Colombo's Italian Steakhouse and Jazz across the street, and the taco trunk next door in the gas station parking lot), I always thought this was simply a house. Oh no, my friends, apparently, it's more than that! The Women's Twentieth Century Club of Eagle Rock was founded in the late 1890s, and this facility was built in the early 1910s. The Craftsman style structure is still beautiful today, and upon further review and survey of the neighborhood, truly stands out among the other homes along Hermosa Ave. You would expect this to actually be located in the older neighborhoods in Pasadena with the rest of the glorious Craftsman's. As you walk up the steps and approach the spacious porch area, you head towards the front door and instantly notice how it opens up to an auditorium with ample floor space and a stage, reminiscent of where a town hall meeting would take place in those old movies from the 20s and 30s. The high ceilings lend even more to the amount of openness found in this room. Other areas to point out are the alcove or what appeared like a separate sitting area, the full kitchen, a waiting area of sorts upon entering into the building, a small bathroom, and an outdoor area for more seating. I don't know the rental rates, restrictions, or payment method, but I'm sure you can find such information here at their official website: www.wtcc-er.org/ For this particular event, there were no facility-specific individuals as you would expect at an actual banquet hall. So, your service is whomever you hire or bring along. Parking is relatively ample as there is plenty of side-street parking everywhere. You also have Colorado Blvd., but I can't remember if there are any meters. Lastly, they do have their own minimal parking, but I recommend hitting the street parking instead. Overall, I thought the Women's Twentieth Century Club was a pretty cool building based on the historical factor alone. I'm a born-and-raised Angeleno and whenever I come across hidden nuggets of this great city of mine, it always makes me proud that someone has taken the initiative and effort to try and preserve them for future generations. I can't say for sure whether or not I would rent out this place for an event of my own, but I can certainly say that I appreciate knowing that there is such an option available. I think others should take a look and maybe add this as an option to their list, too! A 3 1/2 stars for me!

Built in 1913, The York Manor was home to a Methodist congregation before transitioning into the…read moreYork Blvd Church of Christ in 1963. It sat vacant for a few years and briefly reopened as a performing arts space in 2013 but was forced to shut down. After being declared a historic monument, it underwent a complete renovation by new owners in 2015. The building changed hands again in 2023 and functions as an event center and a shared common workspace. This three-story venue has rooms upstairs. Downstairs is the main room with lofty ceilings, large windows, wood floors, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a stage for a DJ or live bands. Downstairs is a speakeasy style bar and the backyard is also a nice spot for an outdoor reception. I've driven by this place numerous times thinking it was just a church. I recently saw that there was a Holiday Market Place being held here so I stopped in to do some shopping. There was a man on the front lawn making pupusas and people sitting at tables enjoying them. Inside is quite spacious and there were several vendors selling their merchandise. The tables were nicely spaced apart, so it was easy to browse. This realty is a nice spot for an event or to use as a shared workspace. *Street parking only.

CRATES. they barely had any garbage disposals for us to clean. main thing was the workers under the company look lazy and rude. if we didn't clean, they would keep the deposit. I don't think a reception of that size would be overlooked by the host and simply wasn't disclosed that significant detail. for the price of a different venue with all services for cleanup, seems like it's better to go somewhere else. plus, no parking and it's only street. interesting space but pass.

Castle Green is a circa 1898 annex to the now demolished Hotel Green. It now houses privately…read moreowned condominiums, with its public rooms and grounds often hosting weddings, events and filming. Twice a year it is open for tours, including some of the private residences. We just enjoyed the Holiday 2025 tour. The public rooms on the ground floor are indeed grand, including an ornate staircase and cage elevator requiring an attendant. There's a ballroom also. There's a stately verandah that extends the length of the building, and peaceful gardens with a fountain. The bridge that extends from the building to Raymond Ave. used to go across Raymond to the Hotel Green. There are 7 floors with floors 2-6 housing private apartments. On the 7th floor is a rooftop patio and a privately owned penthouse. It was open for the tour--it's a large loft-like space with windows facing every direction. Several of the apartments on the lower levels were also on view; the individual owners were so kind to open their homes to strangers on these tour days. The apartments vary in size, with the larger units on the south side of the building where there are circular turrets. Even more varied were the way the owners decorated their units. The owners of most of the units were clearly interested in art and architecture. Styles seen included Asian, Mid-Century, Arts and Crafts. Some kitchens were petite, with smaller appliances. Downstairs is the headquarters for the Thomas Paine Society, an advocate in the 1770's for America's independence, considered America's first radical. For the tours, there were some light bites available, supplied by Little Lily's Kitchen catering, whose place in Altadena fell victim to the Eaton fire. There was a potato leek soup, Angel biscuits, vegan chorizo tacos and Thanksgiving-ish sliders with turkey, brie and cranberry, plus hot apple cider and cookies. Overall a lovely visit, worth repeating.

They upgraded furniture, updated the bridal suite, and provided the most exceptional catering and bartending services. We were honestly so grateful to have them be a huge part of our special day. The transition from our original contract to the new contract was so seamless. It was almost as if nothing had ever changed in the first place, the professionalism, the courtesy of everyone involved was just so incredibly nice and accommodating, we couldn't have asked for a better result. Shae was our venue manager and she was so understanding, willing, appreciative, and a genuine energy that made us feel like we were in amazing hands and it was more than we could've asked for. The entire wait & bar staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and truly just felt just like an extension of our family. And a special shout out to Josh, our head server, who served us more than just food and drinks, but such a positive energy throughout the entire day which was so needed! He has become our unofficial primo! Lol It speaks volumes to feel like you can let everything go on your wedding day and experience it as if you were a guest yourself. So believe me when I say to book the Fig House, it is incredibly worth it and you will have absolutely no regrets, I know we didn't!

The couple was able to personalize with photos and memorabilia set up on shelves in the breezeway inset area which was a sweet touch. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors on the Garden Patio. It was a gorgeous but warm, very sunny day and the seating on the right side could have perhaps used a sail shade of some sort as it was blindingly bright and quite warm on that side! It's a small thing as the ceremony was short, but thought I'd mention for anyone considering the space at a time of year when that's a factor. After the ceremony, we walked into the adjacent 1922 Lounge for the cocktail hour. This was a wonderful space with an eye-catching bar area, lots of seating and high tops, as well as plenty of room to mingle. We loved the signature cocktails and the passed hors d'oeuvres were absolutely delicious and plentiful! Onto the reception in the huge "Main Dining Room" with vaulted wood beam ceilings, chandeliers and warm hardwood flooring. Everything was configured beautifully, food was again delicious and the venue staff was excellent. I loved that you could retreat to the garden patio or other areas within the club when you needed a quiet moment! So from a guest's point of view, the University Club of Pasadena was the perfect venue for a wedding or any event for that matter. Great location, facility, food and staff!
