They also broke my cake stand and claimed that it was not their fault. They stole my garter that I never got to throw. I had planned on using them for my daughter's 15th birthday party but that will not be happening. They also poured out all of my champagne and kept my beer as well as the water that we had purchased and claimed that it was all gone. Please do not use this place.

If you are looking to have a great event and are looking for the hall to make your job as planner/host as smooth as possible they are a great place to go. The new chef and caterer they have is doing a great job not only in delivering great tasting plates but also is making sure the plates are uniform and delicious to look at. Overall expect great service and a great event.

My family and I were invited to a wedding here. I would describe this as the Kim Son venue part…read morewithout the restaurant. The outside looks kind of dated with a washed out pale pink color. They do have valet, but the line was too long. Their parking lot wasn't very big. So, valet needed to be creative with parking cars. We opted to self park, which was problematic with the rain and standing water in the parking spots. Inside, there was security on the first floor and a winding staircase. The wedding reception was located on the second floor. In front of the venue entrance, there was a fun photo booth, a full bar, a pile of wedding favors, and a backdrop for picture taking with the bride and groom. The reception venue itself was huge. For perspective, this venue housed about 600 guests. So, if you're looking for a venue for a large party, this is your spot. There were brightly lit, huge chandeliers above us. There was a decent sized dance floor in the middle of the room, and a long table for guests to enjoy milk tea from The Teahouse - I enjoyed the strong tea flavor, despite how sweet it was for me. We got to our table, which barely squeezed nine of us in comfortably. But, we managed. I did enjoy how much food we received at this wedding. Like other Kim Son weddings I've attended, I'm always left full after these events. There were 9 courses, which included the wedding cake. My favorites of the night included the Peking Duck & Steamed Bun, Grilled New York Strip & Asparagus (although, I didn't eat the asparagus. lol), the seafood part of the Seafood Bird's Nest, and the Yang Chow Fried Rice. The Photo Booth was really fun. There were all kinds of props and quotes to choose from for fun pictures. Although, there was only a short amount of time to pick our props and take the pictures. Overall, I had a good time at this wedding venue. If you plan to have a large wedding reception, this spot can accommodate you. Plus, if you have hungry guests that are huge eaters, they will leave very full here.

They have a balcony, dressing rooms, and restrooms. This venue is owned by the Kim Som family. We had an event here in the upstairs ballroom for about 400 guests. They have their own kitchen here. The food is your average Vietnamese dishes and they do accommodate to vegetarians. You can request a blueprint of how the tables will be set up to plan your seating chart. You can also ask the manager to tour the venue beforehand. However, sometimes it was hard to get in touch with the manager. Although the venue was spacious, the parking lot was not. At least not if you have 400-500 guests coming. On Sunday's, there is a church in the same plaza so the parking spaces were taken up. Additional parking can be found around the plaza. Overall, a good venue to plan your special occasions.

They're currently running crawfish, but definitely call ahead to confirm the days so you don't miss out. And I have to say--Morgan is amazing. So friendly, helpful, and just makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about the vibe and the people who come in. If you're looking for somewhere different, laid-back, and full of good energy, The Decoy is absolutely worth checking out

However, the servers hardly seemed to know which table the orders were for, which is something that needs to be improved when assigning tables within their online mobile system.

Overall, I wish the service had been better, along with the turnaround time for drinks. Service 2/10 Food 7/10 Drinks 6/10

We attended an event at the Trinity Event Center to remember a loved one. It was a beautiful event…read more The event space sells itself. Just take a look at the pictures I posted here on Yelp. What you see is what you get. Even when minimally decorated, from floor to ceiling, the space has a clean, elegant, and modern look. It's highlighted by tray ceilings with gorgeous chandeliers. The space is ideal for a party/reception. Hundreds were in attendance and there was plenty of space for everyone. There was live music, speeches, dinner, and dancing. Food was catered and served in the lobby outside the ballroom. A bar was set up in one corner of the ballroom. The Trinity Event Center is located behind Holy Trinity Cathedral Church (Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Google Maps). Not knowing this, I parked in front of the church, thinking it was the same as the event center. They are two separate buildings on the same property. There's plenty of parking. There was an event going on at the same time at the church, so there were a lot of cars. Additional parking is available around and behind the event center. The back lot is sort of hidden. Holy Trinity and the Trinity Event Center are in southwest Houston, near the Houston Funplex.

Doesn't look like much when you drive past - okay, I'm using the canned Yelp message there - and,…read moreif you arrive at night, it's likely that you'll drive right past it. The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.

It was a very confusing spot to find as it's situated in the suburbs and we thought it might've been the incorrect GPS address. There is a huge parking lot which is poorly designed and multiple venues that make it quite confusing to navigate around if you're going there for the first time. Not quite sure what the appeal to this venue is besides the "wildlife" but we did see a few wandering peacocks screaming on top of trees and defecating around the parking lot. There were 2-3 zebras and a few deer behind one of their fences but we did not see anything that would describe this location as a safari. The venue itself was slightly dated and honestly not what you would think of for the more modern millennial wedding locations/ aesthetics. The men's bathroom had the lovely 3 urinal with no divider setup and the interior of the venue we attended reminded me of a Luby's.
