Venues & Event Spaces near Altadena, CA

“It was an absolutely pleasure working with Samera from 409 Woodbury. I took some photos of her space. The event space is truly a wonderful find! Her prices are fair and there are options to rent out either one room or the entire place. The outdoors area is spectacular! I can envision many weddings here and all sorts of gatherings.

Samera did a stellar job on making the space feels inviting, modern/rustic and with a hint of elegance. If you have an eye for design like I do, you will see endless possibilities in her space. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself.”

“I wish I could give Altadena Town and Country Club 10 stars! I and everyone at my venue was so impressed with the Celebration that I held at the Club. It was successful because of the help I received from Sandy, the Director of Catering and Special Events.
The Club is beautiful inside.. the scenery from the club is beautiful..her staff was wonderful.. so so very nice and professional..especially Adrian.
The food was beyond words… just delicious..it was all my guests talked about!
Thank you Altadena Town and Country Club and especially Sandy, for making a very important event for me so perfect….”

“While this is now a private condominium complex of sorts, it is still a beautiful building. I would have loved to have been able to see the inside. It is something special to see. The building is celebrating their 125th anniversary with a gala in March with proceeds used for restoration.”

“The Theater: Very small & intimate theater, every seat is a good seat. They do have clean comedy shows every month.

The Parking: Public parking structure (90 minutes free). Entrance on Artsakh Ave. Right next to the theater.”

“Everything was amazing!! Walking inside for the first time was absolutely magical, there was soft piano music playing and all the lights cast a soft glow. The Halloween decorations were amazing and hilarious. The bed was super comfortable, the food was amazing. If I’m ever in California again, this is definitely where I’ll be staying.”

“I have been to this place multiple times, for weddings or other types of parties. The food is very good, and the service is excellent.Only one thing I dislike about this banquet hall is the chairs. They have very hard glass chairs. After sitting for an hour, you start to get a backache and want to walk around or go home. I wish they would replace them with softer chairs.”

“I listened to a movie of Ryuichi Sakamoto's performance here, it was a perfect night. The service staff here are very professional. I lost a hat here. After contacting them, the very professional staff found my hat and helped me leave it in the guard room. I was really touched! thank you all!”

“It is spacious and has multiple entrances, making it easy to get in and out.Very comfortable. It's a beautiful place. There is a parking lot right across the street, but I'm not sure how much it is. However, it seemed a bit crowded due to the large number of event crowds. If you don’t mind walking about a blockParking at E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91101 is $12 per day. It's a bit disappointing that there is no discount on parking.”

“I've organized two 300+ people plus parties at this venue with LCFCC and would return without a doubt. The coordinator, Joy, and her staff were professional, experienced, considerate, and invested in helping make sure our event was successful and our guests had a great time. 5 stars for the entire staff. The venue itself has a naturally amazing view, day or night, which reduces the need for heavy decoration. On-site parking was ample and close. The view is also amazing from the lot. Venue has multiple rooms to choose from, we booked the entire space and was able to create activities specific to each. We selected the classical buffet amd various passed appetizers, overall the taste and quality was great. I had no complaints from the guests, all complements. Salmon is challenging to prep for large groups, and they've delivered consistently. Bar was well-stocked and bartenders were solid. Venue can provide all your standard party material and some AV. We had our own vendors for some activities, which was straightforward to arrange with the coordinator. Price was reasonable considering the included amenities onsite. Joy, the coordinator, and the team leads were onsite and actively monitoring all night to ensure a smooth event flow.”

“I absolutely recommend the Maxwell house as a wedding venue! The architecture of this historical mansion is so beautiful, It gave our wedding a more unique feel than your typical hall. From the ornate ceilings, beautiful grand staircase to the fine art hung up on every wall - it was everything we imagined for our day! Cindy was so kind and responsive, the whole staff was amazing! Thank you Maxwell House.”

“I came here to view the current Feminist Art Project exhibit. The space is beautiful and the person working at the gallery was welcoming, informative, and helpful. The exhibit was inspiring and wonderfully curated. I loved all the books and archival material. Parking on a Saturday was $10 and easy. A coffee cart was open near the gallery and several food trucks were close by at the Broad Museum.”

“came here for LindyGroove on a Thu & loved it - setting fits so nicely for a dance style from the 20s yet I appreciated the dress was so casual. Such a welcoming group to out of towners!”

“I recently did my son's birthday party here and it was awesome! I would highly recommend this place. It's literally great for all ages, even for older kids! Very clean and professional. The owner was super nice and did everything to make our party the greatest!!! I would highly recommend Arcave Room!!!”

“It was an Honor to COORDINATE the Petito wedding Here at the Thursday club. This place is a Gem. All vendors worked so seamlessly together. Pictures are absolutely beautiful here. So many picture opportunities on the grounds and street. We look forward to working here in the future.”

“My toddler loves this place! While this isn’t Kidspace, which I compare most places to, it is perfect for what it is. The activities are diverse, clean, and organized. The price point is also good. I’d highly recommend a visit to see if you little one like the place, and I’m confident they will!”

“The best parade there is all year in California at least that I know ofIt has a variety of events which start at approximately eight in the morning, obviously it is a very special event which requires you to leave very early to be able to have a space and park in advance because there are too many people who go and the truth is that it is worth the It's a shame the second time I go and I will go again next year if it has never been in person I recommend that you don't miss it next yearThe best parade there is all year round in California at least I knowIt has a variety of events which start at approximately eight in the morning. Obviously it is a very special event which requires you to leave very early to be able to have a space and park in time because there are too many people who go and the truth is that it is worth it the second time I go and I will go again next year if it has never been in person I recommend that next year you do not miss it”

“A very charming rental venue that we reserved for an evening to host a dinner for about 70 of our friends. our contact was Stella, who was professional and informative. our caterer and myself loved the kitchen-- it was spacious, great counter space and a great stove to heat food. also spacious fridge. Bathrooms and the whole venue was clean. There are multiple sets of french doors throughout the main room, which helps to circulate fresh air. we didn't have to rent tables and tablecloths from an outside vendor as you can rent them from the lodge. our guests loved the location. we plan on leasing it again. great for wedding, reception, party, or a dinner.”

“So this is a cute little venue in the middle of Pasadena. First of all, I would like to thank the University club of Pasadena for being here at all. Fun fact, every wedding I'm invited to. Every one of them! I have to drive some untold number of hours to go to a destination for people who I adore that I will talk to for less than 2 minutes. And then I'll spend the rest of the time saying weird stuff to my friend's family and other friends who I have never met. And I will probably end up as a footnote to the wedding stuff. Oh hey you remember that weird guy that talked about his foot fetish? Oh, Alex? That guy sure talked a lot about that mental health stuff called attachment theory? Oh yeah dude was kind of weird. I think he has issues for giving himself. That's the kind of stuff that I don't want to deal with at a wedding and whenever I have to drive more than an hour to get to a wedding which is almost every freaking time. I have to deal with it but because University club of Pasadena open their doors to my friends I did not have to do that. I only had to drive 10 minutes from Sierra Madre to find myself a nice cozy parking spot because I showed up a little bit early. And let me tell you the staff they were on point. They treated us like true guests. The mixologists or bar keeps were superb. They were snarky. They made our drinks stiff and our faces happy. The guy that looks like Gavin newsom was a delight. A real slice of a guy. The gown that served me a shot of whiskey before I sang I Believe in a thing called Love by the darkness. I'm blowing Kisses at you. So the venue is spacious. There was plenty of dance floor. There was plenty of space for people to sit through the ceremony and I just have to tell you that I loved being here. It was such a great place for my friends to have a truly wonderful and beautiful day. And I'm glad that I got to sharing it. And if this chorubic faced ginger bearded man could find such Joy. Just watching other people enjoy themselves. Imagine yourself here enjoying yourself or letting other people enjoy the things that you enjoy. Can you even imagine that? No, of course not because I'm the one with the imagination. You're the one reading this. Go watch my favorite band. The go home Becky's streaming live now. Not really. I think I made that band name up. I saw it in a bathroom once. Anyway okay bye. Love you”

“This cultural center has been around for as long as I can remember! I've participated in a good amount of TECCO-hosted programs and it's always nice to come and spend some time here. Parking is never a problem here - there are plenty of spaces and the parking lot is free. There are restrooms (and lots of them). And the amenities have generally been well kept across the years I've been here. I've submitted college applications for universities in Taiwan here. I've also come here for multiple music performances, attended leadership conferences, joined TAP or TJCC hosted events here, and much more. You can also renew your Taiwan passport here - they're really helpful and can also answer any questions via phone call (but they might speak limited English).”

“Attended a fundraiser, luncheon, and silent auction, boutique, for The Carmenlite Nuns. It was a very nice venue for this event.
All staff were wonderful, very gracious and attentive. Will return. Was a great day.”

“It was my first time working with this venue. Honestly, I don’t really have any problems with them. Javier allowed me to decorate a day before obviously for an extra cost He was very easy to work with. One of the things that I love about this venue is the fact that his staff are very welcoming and accommodating to each table. It almost feels like you have your own private server. They were on top of the service. The food was really good and tasty. Overall highly recommend this Banquet hall. I worked in Los Angeles and everybody has good service. Also, a big shout out to the DJ Jaime Quintanilla! He really did pay attention when we said we want it to sound like a nightclub and how we like House music and he Went out of his way to keep the party going. Most banquet hall packages include mediocre DJs but this one was amazing! I was truly very happy with the service! Here are some pictures of our custom Couture decoration. Everything was made 100% by us Decoration, Cake, Dresses etc. Followers on Instagram or TikTok @jdiamondeventsbyjunior”

“I was really impressed by the level of service and professionalism I experienced last night. I attended a wedding last night and out of the thousands of wedding I have attended, this one was the best. This Banquet hall is very unique. I guess they got a very smart management that is able to be on the top of everything. Best Banquet hall in Glendale!”

“It's a great place to find a class, workshop, or exhibition that share the narratives of so many Latino@s in LA. They provide community space and offer free or low-cost programs for LA residents to share and preserve our roots through arte and stories. This has also been the home of LatinaFest for 6 years and is a blast to attend in the right weather. The parking is a bummer but if you can find all-day parking there is so much to enjoy and discover. It's in the heart of LA across from Placita Olvera, near Chinatown, near Grand Station, and even close to Los Feliz Flea at Vintageland.”

“Hosted my baby shower here and it was so lovely! Armen (owner) & Bibi (our server) were very attentive and helped me make my event go as smooth as possible! On the day of, Bibi was a one woman show and she was SO nice/amazing. She made sure to clean up promptly after my guests and tend to our needs. The venue is beautiful inside and has its own bathroom. The food was so delicious and they let you take home leftovers if there are any. I had the: green salad, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, beef lasagna, calamari and upgraded to salmon. I also added the tiramisu dessert which was SO GOOD! The only thing on my part was I thought the food was a buffet / unlimited but it was just served buffet style. I just wish I had clarified this because I ended up having to order more food when a few of my guests came late because there was none left. Just be mindful of this when booking and I suggest ordering more than you need if you know your guests eat a lot. I would definitely consider having future events here! Thank you for a great experience :)Parking: There's street parking that I know can be hard to find on some days and there's valet right next door for $16.”

“Feels like a hidden gem. Would never expect a park in this corner of Central LA to be peaceful, clean, and properly maintained. This one beat my expectations. Would absolutely come back.

Great vistas of the DTLA skyline. Plenty of benches and tables. Lots of shade. Lots of healthy looking grass. No rig raff loitering around, so it felt safe.

Toilets: There are flush toilets.

Picnic area: Picnic tables”

“This is a great local ballroom studio for people wanting to learn all types of ballroom dance. The dance floor is huge with plenty of room for multiple lessons going on at the same time. There are some afternoons or evenings that have social dance hour, so you might want to find out when those events are... whether you want to attend at those times, or you want to avoid scheduling a lesson during those times, Lol.Many years ago we had a bad experience when out of the blue, the management decided they did not want children dancers in the studio. My son was training in ballroom in preparation for a competition. His partner was actually the professional ballroom teacher's daughter. But we were forced to go to another studio to dance. Needless to say, that was not a good experience. However, I understand that management has changed, and now, under the direction Brenda, it has a much friendlier atmosphere and routinely there will be young students training there as well. Definitely this is a training ground for a future professional competitors, as well as a great place if you want to be motivated or inspired by seeing what others can do, as well as take their group lessons.”

“Very good place to play free games or to train, the teachers are very professional, you can tell they know their profession, they are friendly, the facilities are all well maintained. From me, highly recommended.”

“I have rented The Revery for a few photoshoots and could not have been happier! The space is MASSIVE and so beautiful- perfect for shooting inside and outside (there’s a lovely courtyard area). The owner Monica is also a joy to work with, and very accommodating.Been back already and will be back soon I’m sure!”
