UPDATE. We rescheduled our Vow Renewal from May-Dec, which seemed easy enough to do at first when…read morecommunicating with Chris, who was going to be onsite manager for our event. It proved more difficult when dealing with the owner Scott. I'll start by saying the end result was us rescheduling at the same rate that we booked & our event went well, however it wasn't without hiccups. When rescheduling, we were specifically instructed by Scott to cancel our booking in Peerspace & rebook the new date. That's when issues started. Before cancelling I mentioned how Peerspace won't refund our full amount & Scott replied that whatever isn't refunded will be credited toward the new date. That didn't happen without us constantly reaching out via text, email, & Peerspace. When you request a date on Peerspace it's pending review/approval from Blush, however it charges you immediately. Since we opted for the payment plan that required about half down & remainder later, we were waiting on our refund to book the new date. It never came. When we were finally able to have a phone call with Scott, I couldn't get one word in the entire time he was mansplaining the world of business. He was very patronizing & I swallowed my pride because we just wanted a resolve & to not lose the deposit. I asked very clearly whether he was going to uphold our agreement. He did, but under the condition that we pay the remainder of our balance upfront in good faith to them. We did & that was that. Thereafter, it was back & forth whether Chris would still be working our event which Scott said he was. Chris was the saving grace of Blush in our opinion. Customer service & how you treat people is king, so it put our hearts at ease. But not for long, since it was changed later to Jin. Getting Jin to respond was difficult. We requested a final walk through with our coordinator about a month before our event. Jin told us he wasn't feeling well & wasn't present for most of the walk through. So we asked questions via email instead. I specifically mentioned a clean facility is important to us. The place just wasn't as polished as we first saw it. He was responsive only after I'd send text follow ups. The week of, not at all. I was waiting on confirmation about our drink selection which I never got & we just hoped it would all work out the day of. Day of our coordinator arrived first. The bathrooms were clean but the bar, cocktail tables, mirror hallway, & front door were full of fingerprints and sticky as if not cleaned from a previous event. We were told there would be 2 staff & that they'd be able to help us move cocktail tables. We weren't aware one of those people would be Jin & he wasn't helpful at all. He completely ignored our coordinator & aunt, but jumped to help our DJ with the sound system. We can only conclude it's because our DJ is a man & as a same sex female couple that leaves such a bad taste in our mouths. Our coordinator & aunt ended up cleaning everything with the one rag & spray bottle he gave after we repeated asked. Coordinator, wife, son, & I moved the heavy tables/ottomans. The drinks didn't taste like our selections. But the worst part was that he started charging our guests upon arrival. My wife & I stepped away to change our clothes. We were there 1.5hrs before start time & Jin never approached us or our coordinator for our card. He also had our itinerary ahead of time and met our coordinator. FYI on top of booking fees, you're also required to use their bar service for ALL drinks alcohol/nonalcohol which is included info on Peerspace. We agreed we'd cover the required minimum of $2500 & once we reached that amount it would turn into a cash bar. Our guests approached us confused about the bar so my wife personally went to Jin & asked why people were being charged, to which he responded "I couldn't find you guys." They immediately include their tip, which we weren't aware of, so drinks totaled to about $2100 w/ the remainder being tax/tip. They continuously ran out of cups & had zero cups for the water dispensers. We were refilling used water bottles to give to the kids. My aunt & cousin were busing tables. Bartenders didn't care to stay quiet or hold drink orders during vows. Every video we have of our vows is them shaking drinks & slamming glassware. There were good things too, kinda. It wasn't communicated to us that the front bathroom was for staff only & we had a outfit change planned, so after first saying no, Jin ended up letting my wife & I use the front bathroom. Also him assisting our DJ resulted in the music going well. It's sadly overshadowed by all the other things that needed improvement. It comes down to a lack of customer service & professional decorum, because the venue itself is beautiful. We gave a final 3 STARS because everything came together. Those missing components are just so vital. A work day for them is literally someone else's most important day that they're choosing and paying to celebrate at Blush.

From the initial contact with Stefanie, to the coordination beforehand, and finally the day of the event. All went smoothly and Stefanie was very informative and accommodating. Great price as well. We had almost 80 people show up and this was a great space for it. The building is so beautiful and although old, was in great shape. The chairs and tables were in good shape and the kitchen was nicely renovated. The projector and sound system was easy to figure out as well since everything was well-labeled. The parking lot is tight, but not an issue as there is ample parking in front and near the venue. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a venue that can fit 100 people max (its capacity)!

You are responsible for your own table cloths, or you can rent it from them for an additional price. There's a kitchen that you can use, the bathrooms are clean, and there's plenty of parking inside. The venue can host 100 people, but it will be very tight with that many people. We had about 80 people (including kids) at the event, and though it felt tight, at least the kids were able to hang outside to enjoy the bouncer. I rented the afternoon time frame, so we were given the venue from 2:30-9PM. The only thing that I found weird was that there was absolutely no attendant available at the end of the night. Overall, a decent place to rent a venue if you wanna DIY things yourself.

We held my Mothers repass here and it was the perfect space to gather with my family and friends. Once the reception was over and all my guest had left the venue we did clean up. However, Natalia told us that wasn't necessary to do because their staff would come in to put everything back in order for their next event. And, let me tell you she did just that. I had a few items that I had to retrieve the following morning and upon my arrival the staff was already there and they had it literally refreshed and SPOTLESS!!! I would highly suggest and recommend everyone to host any of their special events here. Allow them do what they do best, which is ensuring you and your guests have a GOOD TIME !!!

Let me start off by saying I have never used an event coordinator before and after the experience I…read morehad with Audrey from Santa Anita Banquets, I NEVER will again! Audrey was so unprofessional and so unorganized when it came to our wedding. She promised us one thing when we first met with her, but ended up with something completely different. We were given a list of things that were included in the wedding package that we chose; tables, centerpieces, chairs/covers, food, etc. Everything sounded good, so we signed the contract that day. Stupid move on our part! One thing after another started changing, first it was the "bar" could not serve wine in wine glasses so we had to provide the plastic cups for that. The so called "bar" was a table with crates, which were lined with trash bags to hold the beer and wine. There were only 2 centerpieces to choose from, we ended up choosing the 3 cylinder vases with an "orchid" in each, turns out the orchids were fake, as in plastic flowers that she probably bought from the 99cent store! I was beyond upset because I did not find this out until the day before our wedding. By then it was too late to order real flower centerpieces. Never once were we informed that our centerpieces were going to be fake flowers! This looked so tacky! I sent Audrey a text message letting her know that I was upset and she replied back with a VERY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL message. We were told they were not going to be able to use the chair covers for our chairs because the chairs at our venue were too wide and would not fit. I went ahead and rented covers from an outside vendor and paid and additional $250 for them only to find out the same day of our event that the covers Audrey had (which were part of our package deal) DID fit the chairs we were using, she never even tried them on. Our outdoor Ceremony was scheduled to start at 3:00pm and chairs were to be set up for our guests. Our guests were arriving and there was nowhere for them to sit. Audrey finally started bring chairs out and setting them up about 3:20pm after being told over and over. We paid an additional ceremony fee which we were told included a system for our ceremony music, the chairs, and rehearsal fee. We ended up downloading our own music and bringing our own speaker just incase because of all the other "surprises" we had along the way. Good thing we did because there was no music system for our ceremony. More than half of our guests had to stand for the entire ceremony because only a few chairs were brought out. Our tables were not set up the way we had requested them to be. Our candy buffet table was set up on a silver table cover, our colors were ivory and burgandy. Audrey and her staff started removing table and chair covers an hour and a half before the reception ended. There were not enough plates to serve our guests, some of them were served on styrofoam plates, again TACKY! To sum it all up this was the WORST experience I have ever had in my life! I will NEVER use Santa Anita Banquets ever again! To anyone who is wanting to use them in the future, please think twice.

He told her I would do no such thing and then she told him he could come pick up the stands but we would have to work around her schedule. I can't even believe after more than 7,000 dollars that this is how we are being treated. Update - Jan 23, 2015. Still not returned! ---- I've been putting off writing this for almost two months, but I just want to get it out of the way and hopefully save anyone the stress I went through. I booked with Audrey for my wedding. Everything seemed fine at first, she was really nice in person... but then it started to get wonky from there. First the gratuity was whatever I wanted to give, then it was a set amount, then it was whatever I wanted to give. THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING, a magical deposit for the venue was required, even though we never discussed it. It was for security she said, since we had a bar, but I already paid her the $250 extra to have a bar. And I didn't see a security guard at my wedding. We met before the wedding for a tasting, and the food was good (really good, actually, as far as wedding catering goes), but what I told her I wanted for the centerpieces wasn't what she had done mockups of for us. We did like it though, so we picked what we wanted. Lo and behold, my husband I do our grand entrance and the centerpieces ARE NOT what we agreed on, there was some horrible fluffly floral piece of crap tablecloth on the sweetheart table. Some of our wedding party came late, and the staff WOULD NOT give them the food they asked for (more than one scoop of a specific item), but then someone working for her came out from the back and loaded their plate up with as much food as they wanted and took it in the back to eat it. The tables for the gifts and guestbook were not set up how we agreed. We provided her with games and toys for a kids table that never got set up. And we never got the things for it back. She didn't return the unused cups that we paid for our of our own pocket, she didn't return all the undrank booze (I KNOW we didn't go through all the champagne). Even with all this, I had a nice wedding, I married my husband, which is what it's about, but to top if off, after ALL THIS, she tells me she is going to return our cake stands for us (that we have a deposit on) and she doesn't do it. We follow up with her repeatedely and she says, this weekend, this weekend, this weekend and still nothing. It's been nearly TWO MONTHS since my wedding. It's not like we had some far off destintation. We used the location SHE OFFERED in Santa Anita, and our cake was made in PASADENA. It's not my fault that her office isn't where she has events. It's just insane, that this is still going on and that after ALL THE MONEY WE PAID, we are out deposits from OTHER VENDORS because of Audrey.
