Attended a wedding reception. Used the 150 room. Food service very slow. Food mediocre at best. Bar line so long it extended into the 150 room.Facility is very simple in decor. Located in downtown Riverside. Nothing to look at but other buildings.

The booking was easy seemed nice understanding and lenient. Comes the day of the event. HORRIBLE. I paid extra for private parking because I found out the day of the dead evn eas happening the same day. This is a parking g lot of about 45 spaces. Upon arrival about 1/4 of it was full. They promised someone would be there running the parking lot but instead, there was a cone with a hand written sign taped to it that had already been knocked down. I called immediately and they said they'd take care of it, another client decided to disrespect my family, myself and even got infront of my guest car to avoid them parking. Police were called by manager of place. Manager threatened to cancel our party. They allowed others to park there. My live band arrived late due to parking.. 3 families told me it took them 45min to fund parking and that they were about to leave. People missed dinner time because of parking which then caused fir some food to go to waste. I called Monday morning, with no answer. So I filed a claim with the BBB. The parking ruined alot of my party, AND I PAID EXTRA to avoid this. Then.. the manager decides to cut my music short because it was suppose to end at a certain time, BUT the music arrived late because of parking. She didn't even allow them to finish the song that they were already playing. SHE KNEW that because of parking everything got delayed! Securities started acting so tough at the end of the night, stereotyping my guests, But they didn't act tough when I needed them to be. They allowed others to park on the PAID RESERVED parking.i have videos and pictures. I cried.. i was so stressed put. I put so much effort into my daughter party to be treated like this. Something better be done or attorney will get involved.

I saw an on Nextdoor app, an as for an office assistant (attached) I replied and a woman named Sylvia responded.Sylvia Villegas, Office ManagerLife Arts Center Team Set up my interview in Riverside, which I attended.About 5 minutes into our conversation, she said.... WAIT! I need you in another position! So I inquired about the job...Banquet Captain for weekend events at the facility. Actually the PERFECT job for me. I was so ecstatic. She then had me fill out tax forms and she made copies of my identification, letting me know I had the job.I left with her telling me, that someone on "her team" would reach out to me the beginning of the week. She followed up with an email stating that I got the job, etc. (attached)Brilliant!! Amazing day!I went home and purchased the shoes, long sleeve black shirt and apron, that I was told I needed.I waited for the contact....waited....Finally after a week, I called. Left a message with a female in the office, assuring me she would call tomorrow.Three days later, I sent a follow up email (attached)...still nothingCalled again, sat on hold for 5 minutes and hung up, called back and she said she would call me tomorrow.Last straw, I messaged her on the Nextdoor App. (Attached)To this day, not a word!BEWARE of this place. Trusting this place with "Your Special Day", is a crap shoot.Sylvia Villegas, Office ManagerLife Arts Center Team

I cannot say enough great things about my experience at LAC. I had my wedding there a few days ago and it was nothing short of perfection.My husband and I had to cancel our previous venue for COVID reasons. We were three months away from our wedding and we're definitely worried. I reached out to several venues in hopes of finding someplace fast. Elvia reached out to me and we set up a tour. She was so patient and answered all of our questions. We fell in love instantly and booked right away. Our planning process was so smooth and worry free. Elvia was always available to answer my calls and we always found someone at the building to talk to if we dropped by. We met another coordinator, Marie, who was also super helpful and kind. She helped setup my timeline and put me at ease. The day of, everyone worked so hard to make sure we had the best day possible. Our room was beautifully decorated, security and the bar tender did a great job. I have no regret in choosing this place to host my wedding. I will always look back and remember it as the best day ever

So upset about this place. First time we came to look at the place was great. We had a lot of questions and the answers we got were vague but consistent. I schedule a second tour and let Heidi know we were thinking of putting a deposit down this time. We walked in with our deposit ready and brought some family along with us so they can see the venue as well. This time was a complete 180 flip, she didn't remember anything we had talked about, or that she had given us a paper with the cost breakdown. She was very inconsistent with the prices and began to give us different pricing this time even though we had the pricing in writing. She said that there was no way she would have given us that pricing, even though we reminded her multiple times that she gave it to us in writing. We were willing to move past the pricing and we began to ask questions again to make sure we were clear on things like bartending, catering and decorations now to ensure there were no more inconsistencies, and every time we asked a question she would scoff at us then answer as if we were bothering her with our questions. Long story short, get EVERYTHING in writing if you decide to take a chance on this place, and be ready for them to try to change it later.
