This review is long overdue but needed to be done. I had my wedding here last September (2017) and have only good things to say about it. The venue is beautiful, has gorgeous bathr...ooms, high ceilings, elegant staircases, a nice bridal suite, an elevator for elderly guests, and a great enclosed outdoor area for cocktail hour on the side.
Aram, the manager, was nothing but helpful and threw in a couple of last minute bonuses on the day of the wedding- he’s very knowledgeable and seemed to stay calm even when the bride (me) started stressing out. :) He was always quick to respond to all my questions and communication was never an issue!
They offer either a bar set up or BYOB option that we were looking for. The food is very good (which if you go with this venue, you will see for yourself during the menu tasting) and the two halls have many lighting options, which we thought was a nice touch. We went with the family style option for food and there was so much of it!
I had my ceremony in the downstairs room and the reception upstairs... one of the main reasons we picked this place. I liked the layout and wanted my ceremony/reception in the same location but different rooms. We are not super religious so church was not important to us. I also wanted an outdoor area for cocktail hour being that we’re in Southern California. This place had it all. The front of the building also faces a park, I thought that was a nice touch and has fountains/fire pits on each side of the staircase leading up.
The location is central, close to the freeway, and they offer valet parking for guests. In terms of cost, just depends on which options you pick. I found it comparable to similar venues/options in the area. Long story short, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding with knowledge staff, good food, good ambiance, lots of options to choose from, and memories to remember. :)
