This is really ZERO STARS. Two of the wait staff LEDE AND CHRISTINE had the most vile attitudes during a birthday celebration. I have never be subjected to such tones, gestures, attitudes and disregard for guest. I attend California Country Club events often and believe me this will not stop at this comment. Christine kicked a 6'3 gentleman's foot while abrasively walking past turn around and said to him "yea, good job". EXCUSE ME!!! This was after she snatched a salad from in front of a child so hard that salad flew everywhere and she almost dropped the plate. The lack of decorum was baffling and mere kindness and respect goes a long way. But this is going to go way further. Thank you for your time and please consider this comment before choosing this venue for any celebration.

We had a great experience with a birthday at Noor. Robert and Merissa were extremely helpful and helped us have an excellent time.

Noor Pasadena deserves more than just five stars for its phenomenal service during the Roaring 20s Benefit and Auction, organized by Boston Court Pasadena. As the Development and Event Manager, I was thoroughly impressed.Noor's commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of the event. The full-service catering was a culinary masterpiece, leaving our guests delighted. The attentive and friendly servers, along with the efficient bar staff, ensured that our guests were well-fed and had a fantastic time.What truly sets Noor apart is their dedication to flawless event execution. The team's attention to detail, from setup to the event's final moments, was impeccable. Aileen & Robert were a pleasure to work with. Noor turned our vision into a reality, surpassing all expectations.If you're searching for a venue that provides a beautiful setting and exceptional service, look no further than Noor Pasadena. They are the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. Our event's success is a testament to their commitment to excellence.

We moved our 2023 Women for Racial Justice event here due to the hotel workers' strike. It's a large event that traditionally brings out a lot of people, and this year was no exception. Noor worked hard to strategically place tables - many, many tables - in their Sofia Ballroom. They did everything they could to maximize space. The end result was that everyone in the room was comfortable!YWCA Glendale & Pasadena

I went to a lunchtime fundraising gala at Noor in Pasadena last month. I got an invite from one of the hosts and figured I'd take a break from weekend kid duty to enjoy some champagne and food with fellow adults.Noor is an event space in El Paseo, a mall I remember well from my three days sitting for the California Bar. This visit was less stressful. The party was pleasant, with the initial part in an indoor bar area and the lunch on the terrace. It was a hot, sunny day, and the shade situation was not perfect. We sat down to partial coverage and some scorching cutlery. Thankfully, we got more umbrellas, which made the heat manageable for the duration of a lunch.The food was solid. There was bread and butter, a light salad, and a surprisingly good piece of salmon served with broccolini and sweet potato purée.Noor does all kinds of events and is probably worth looking into if you need a venue in Pasadena and don't mind that it's in a mall. Decent ambiance and food, and hey, they validated my parking.

I went to a wedding this evening. It is such a big place but i was able to find parking easily, and find the elevator and escalators. The service and location was great. It is also very busy and still kept very clean and well maintained. The only issue i had was paying for parking. There were several of us walking around trying to find where to pay. Finally someone rang the help button on what we thought was the payment location, but we were told to try and find the escalators near the center area. We did and there was a line to pay. Would it be that hard to have some kind of signage, or a light, or an arrow or a small Saint Bernard, ?? Jk. Well after all that it is a great location with lots to do and in a nice area. ?

We just had our wedding at Noor this weekend, 07/08/2023, and it was a wonderful and magical experience. The venue impressed our guests; the outdoor ceremony was gorgeous, and the staff was kind.I want to single out Merissa in particular for being such an incredible help and going above and beyond to accommodate (and often anticipate) our every need. We adored Merissa so much that we wished we had hired her to plan the wedding. She's delightful and deserves all the praise (and a raise!).NOOR is literally the perfect place to hold any event.

We recently hosted the Caltech Graduate Student Formal 2023 organized by the Caltech's Graduate Student Council at NOOR's Ella Ballroom and Outdoor Terrace, and it was AMAZING! The ballroom and specially the outdoor terrace with 360 draping are really beautiful and classy event spaces.Robert, Aleen, Merissa, and their team was wonderful to work with - they made the whole planning process quite seamless and memorable. We had to revise our event plan quite a few times due to budget revisions and changes to guest count, and they were very accommodating and patient through it, kindly making suggestions that really elevated our event (ex. Strolling Champagne Dress, Liquid Nitrogen Ice-cream). Due to the scale of the event, we were given the Premium A/V Package for free! There were plenty of delicious food and drinks (Taste of the Mediterranean station, a variety of Hors D'Oeuvres, Vegetable Crudité & Cheese station, Specialty Dessert station including Macarons, Parisienne Crêpes, Chocolate Fountain, Gourmet Espresso, and other hot beverages etc.) to go around, with Prestige-level open bar and signature cocktails designed by the organizers! The event management staff, the bartending staff and the servers were great as well - on the day of, all items in the event agenda were executed smoothly and as envisioned, leaving no detail to worry about for us event organizers! They even had the staff wear cute berets to match our 'Night in Paris' theme!Their post-event service is great as well - we received the photos taken at the event (including LIVE Photobooth we purchased from them) on time, and they hired a professional videographer to capture all of the great moments from the event and edited them into a highlights video as a gift to us! ^_^Thank you, Robert, Aleen and Merissa! Great Job!

My husband and I tied the knot earlier this year on Friday, January 13. I feel awful that it's taken me this long, but I wanted to give a big shout out to Robert and his team at Noor. The foyer in the pictures is what made us absolutely fall in love with NOORpasadena. We had a very hard time finding a venue that fit our budget and style. We didn't want a tradition country club/banquet hall, and we absolutely wanted our ceremony outside. Their pricing was reasonable, the food was amazing (my husband is a chef, so he has very high standards), and Robert and his team were very quick to address our questions and concerns.
