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.

It felt a little tight, but there was still plenty of space in the foyer area and in the back. At the event I attended they had a bounce house and a taco vendor in the back.

It was nice they even had a changing table in the women's bathroom. I would love to attend another event here in the future!

They have a full kitchen, full bar, ice machine, restrooms, and enough tables, chairs, space, and rental equipment to hold up to 150 people, and are flexible with customizing the experience to any kind of event and theme. We had a cuties themed baby shower with 130 people, and hired multiple vendors (Vietnamese food, boba tea bar, desserts, a bartender, and balloon artists). It was an amazing and fun experience for all of our friends and family members. Would definitely want to go here again for other events in the future, such as birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc.

We came here for a small reptile show, around 10 vendors and there were some bird vendors there too. Decent amount of parking and I loved the decor that they had in here, along with the tidbits of history behind the glass, including historical and cultural artifacts from the past, the chandeliers, the art on the walls, and much more. Gives more flavor to the venue than just a regular gym or auditorium. AC wasn't the strongest, but it's probably best for the cold blooded critters that were there. The birds were in the hallway entrance in, so the sound reverberated quite a bit. Not bad for smaller events from an attendee's point of view.

The clubhouse side has outdoors table seating just past the finish line. Plenty of bars and food venues throughout for those so like to walk around and visit the paddock and walking ring. Check it out!

Parking was also slightly confusing because it wasn't a race day and there were some spots that said to valet, but there wasn't a valet.

When you walk into the terrace, you get an amazing view of the mountains and race track. The catered menu was delicious, it was like having a Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner and a variety of desserts. My favorite part of this area would be the restroom, women's restroom to be exact! It was like I stepped back in time to experience the elite life. I didn't want to leave the bathroom to go back to the meeting, lol.

The conservatory is a beautiful backdrop, and there are many niche spaces that are wonderful for photographing. Highly recommend.

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 asked her to send us a check for the deposit we were out from our baker and she told him she would, IF I TOOK MY REVIEW DOWN! 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.

It seems old and dated, but with a bit of love and cosmetics (like how his planners designed the whole place) then it's a whole different place! Plenty of room for apps, main course and the bar was strategically placed in the back. There's also a big dance floor. Venue can easily fit 200 - 250 people comfortably. Free lot parking at the back (it's a little tricky to find but not too bad - slow down when you get on Morlan Place, should be easy from there!) They should signs or something, because a lot of people missed it. Other than the parking snag, we had a great time at this place! If it were close to home, I'd consider using it as well!
