Venues & Event Spaces in Whittier, CA

“If you ever get a chance to play this course don't pass it up. Thanks

I have nothing negative at all to say about Friendly Hills Country Club. My experience has been amazing even from reaching out to inquire. TAYLOR is awesome! So sweet, kind, and helpful! I had a vision of how I was going to combine 2 birthdays into one and Taylor was very accommodating answering my million questions.

The price was reasonable and the food was spectacular! Everyone kept saying how good the chicken and veggies were. Not your typical bland chicken wedding food. So delicious!

I removed the dance floor to accommodate the children's playground and it worked perfect! I was able to use the restaurant chairs (since they look nicer than the regular chairs that are provided). They worked around my late guest (fed them even when so many were late). The staff is very nice as well! Every time I stopped by they were really nice (guy who sets up the rooms for events, waitresses, set up manager) they even offered to charge my computer in his office so that it would be fully charged and ready for when I wanted to play a slideshow on the projector.

I would DEFINITELY recommend”

“An amazing experience from beginning to end for our Quinceanera and our family. Mariah and Alexis were amazing hosts and made that special day better by paying attention to our requests and details. We will definitely go back to their venue and continue to celebrate our special occasions with them. The Crystal Marquis is a gem to our Whittier community offering amazing prices that no other venues I researched can match....let alone the service.”

“I recently visited and I have to say it exceeded all expectations! The course is beautifully maintained, challenging layouts, and stunning views throughout. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just starting out, the course offers a perfect balance of challenge and playability.”

“We had my daughter's Quinceañera here just yesterday and it was an amazing experience. The owner Michael, was welcoming from the beginning to end. Answered every question I had. He completely worked with us to help bring the room to life. He's also very flexible. He also referred us to a bartender, Vince and he was amazing as well. We chose the Birria as the main course and food was delicious. Wait staff was attentive to our needs and served our guests as they arrived. Security was great. I met part of the cleaning crew at the end and she was amazing as well. Overall a great experience with the owner and so glad I chose Smart's Banquet Hall to host my daughters Quinceañera. Thank you so much!!”

“First time attending a birthday party and I LOVED IT. Kids had a blast and enjoyed it the most. Thank you to the manager, she was super sweet and kind to everyone there.”

“My wife and I had our beautiful wedding reception at the Le Chateau De Crystale Ballroom at Veliz Banquets and Events 2 weeks ago. We toured this venue when it was in the process of being remodeled and we are extremely happy and grateful that we trusted Karina and her vision.

The venue turned out beautiful and floor plan/table setup was exactly what we wanted for our special day. Karina and Crystal are extremely professional, friendly, and communicative. They were both present during the reception to make sure everything ran smoothly.

The servers and bartenders were quick and efficient with serving our guests and making sure everything was clean, organized, and safe throughout the night.

The food was delicious. We had steak fajitas with beans/rice and Chicken Parmesan with pasta/mashed potatoes.

Overall we are incredibly happy and satisfied that we selected Veliz for our wedding reception! We would give them more than 5 starts if it was possible. Thank You Karina, Crystal, and team Veliz!!!”

“A beautiful venue with a rooftop area. Great for pictures choosing the right photographer that knows how to select certain shoot spots. The lobby area is beautiful with some nice stairs. Great place for a wedding, Quinceañera or any special events. Nicely secured. Plenty of free public parking next door.”

“My fiancé and I recently had our pre wedding day/food tasting with Liz. She is such a pleasure to speak and work with. Everyone we met was very nice. We do not live locally and she definitely put my mind at ease after our meeting. The food tasted amazing, there was not a single dish that I did not love. We ended up going with the chicken Marsala and chicken picatta as our entree’s. I have complete confidence in Liz and her team. I am very excited and looking forward to our big day!”

“So impressed with this venue...is it glamours and new? no, but its a great large space, and with a little work and imagination (like the Garfield h.s. reuion did) you can have a great event. See pictures.”

“Welcomed with water and cookies! Wow, cookies... I suppose this is the trademark of this brand of Hilton. Only stayed here for a business, but ended up having a good time. I usually stay at Hyatt hotels, but this facility was capable. Nice gym, and bar/ lounge area. The pool was decent and inviting. For $150/night not a bad place to visit as the restaurants nearby are good. Hilton status is recognized at the property, but nothing special. The customer service was good, and gave me a good trail recommendation for running in the mornings. Much appreciated!”
