From the very beginning, Maria was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She made the entire process feel easy and effortless--which is a dream when you're planning a wedding. On the big day, their attention to detail truly blew us away. They made sure to set aside a plate of everything that was served and even brought appetizers from our cocktail hour to our suite so we didn't miss a thing. They served us first at the reception and delivered sweets from the dessert table directly to us--such thoughtful, personal touches that meant so much to us! And the food? Absolutely amazing. Even our pickiest guests were raving about how delicious everything was! We had multiple people asking for the caterer's info because they were THAT good. We also booked our bartender through Gatherings N' Stuff, and from what our guests told us, he was a total hit! We will absolutely be recommending Gatherings N' Stuff to everyone we know and will definitely be using them again for all future events. Thank you, Maria and team, for helping make our day so unforgettable!

This review is way overdue. Life got ahead of me. I'm sorry, Emil and Lisa!…read more I had my daughter's quinceañera at El Palacio Hall on March 14, 2026. We hosted 175 guests. When we first started looking for venues, we had a few specific things in mind, and flexibility was one of them. On our first visit in March 2025, we met with Emil, the venue owner. He was very welcoming, friendly, family-oriented, and easy to work with. He answered all of my questions and was very transparent from day one. He never pressured us or made us feel obligated to choose everything the hall offered. All selections and packages were based on our budget and what we wanted to spend. When I walked into the venue, I was immediately attracted to the décor, high ceilings, and bar area. Everything was very clean, the white draping made the space feel even more open, and the floor plan was perfect. I knew I wouldn't have to do much. I did hire an outside vendor to help with the themed décor, but almost everything else, including the plating, was purchased through the venue. As the quinceañera date approached, we met the venue manager, Lisa. She became our go-to person for anything we needed. She was very attentive and made sure the event was a success and that everything looked beautiful on the big day. The day of the event, everything went very smoothly. We had a venue host who worked hand in hand with Lisa. I forgot his name, but he was very kind and helpful. I had many family members say, "This place is beautiful! I never knew this was here." No one had any issues with parking. The restrooms were well maintained throughout the event, the food was ready on time (we had the fajitas, beans, and rice which was very tasty), the serving staff was very efficient, and the air conditioning was blasting and felt great (the temperature that day was around 78-80 degrees). Every area of the venue was operating seamlessly. All-in-all I am very grateful to all the staff at El Palacio Hall because they helped make my daughter's quinceañera a success. I would definitely have another event there again.

Starting sending messages the first week of February wanting to know when we can get together to start planning food, color, flowers etc. Crickets. After the 3rd or 4th messages I called twice and finally someone texted me back saying Rebecca was not available her brother had passed away. Ok I said my condolences and I would be in contact in a couple weeks. I get another text saying they are doing renovations and they are fighting with the city and until they are done the city won't issue permits. So are you going to be done in time for my party I ask? She proceeds to tell me they won't know until April! My party is in May, when we're you going to let people know is my next question. She then says I was going to tell people who have party's in May at the end of February. My head is spinning because I'm thinking I have a place for a party, I have food, I have a dj, I have flowers, I have a photo booth, I have a desert table now I have nothing. It's now 3 months before the party and the week after mother's day. That's why I booked a year in advance. She then tells me she has graciously refunded everyone's money who asked for it. We'll yeah you think. You want to fight with the city and now I'm left to try to find another place for my daughter's 18th Birthday party. Just very bad bad business! Don't do business here find somewhere else.

It was a true fairy tale party. We even had a red carpet at the entrance for our guests. I was scammed by a previous venue so I was hesitant about every venue I saw, but Mary made me feel calm. She understood my feelings and didn't pressure me. And as soon as she showed us the venue and all the services they provide we were sold. The venue is beautiful WITHOUT it being decorated. The bar is amazing. The d.j was amazing. Even the restrooms are very aesthetic (the kids were taking selfies in there, lol). Mary was there every step of the way. Any question/doubt or worry she was there to answer and reassure me that it was going to be ok. She was there the day of the party making sure I didn't have to worry about anything but having a great time. Jenny was AMAZING at making our vision come true. My daughter told her what she envisioned then told her to surprise us. It was BEYOND what we expected. When we did the reveal it was as if we were walking into a fairy tale story. The food was AMAZING. My daughter chose the birria and chicken alfredo. People were asking if a family member made the food. That meant a lot to me because it shows that they do everything as if it was for a family member and not just a business. I was happy to see her there the day of the party to make sure we were happy with the outcome. And Shafik sealed the deal for me. He was very understanding of my feelings because of what I had gone through. He was very patient and never pressured me. Shafik took the time the week before to meet with me and go over the contract and everything we had agreed on detail by detail. He even made suggestions on our original choice of table cloths to make it look better. He was also there the day of the party to welcome us. Did I mention that we planned the change of venue in a month and a half? And even THEN every detail was so thorough. It was a pleasure to work with Mary, Jenny and Shafik. They are very easy going people that make you feel like family and not just another customer. I highly recommend this venue. I don't have many pictures or videos because I was enjoying the party but here's a glimpse of our special day.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE AT SALEH'S PALACE IN WHITTIER, CA!…read more My daughter's quinceañera took place on 9/25/26 at Saleh's Palace. What should have been one of the happiest days for our family turned into an experience filled with stress, problems, and disappointment. During the planning process, I worked with a party planner named Josué, who was supposed to help coordinate everything so the event would go smoothly. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. 1. SCREEN PROBLEMS & UNEXPECTED CHARGES I paid for four screens to display my daughter's video. Just days before the event, Josué informed me that I would only have two screens and that the owner would charge extra for the others, even though I had already paid for all four. Imagine the stress of having to resolve this just days before my daughter's quinceañera! I was also told shortly before the event that I needed to purchase cake plates. I ended up buying them because I was tired of arguing. 2. POOR ORGANIZATION & DISRESPECTFUL TREATMENT I arrived around 4:30 p.m., and my daughter needed to use the restroom while getting ready. A thin woman dressed in black, who identified herself as the owner's representative, treated me rudely and disrespectfully. Our event was scheduled from 5 p.m. to midnight, but the doors did not open until approximately 5:40 p.m. We lost nearly 40 minutes of our event. I had also prepared a seating chart. The day before, we were shown two tables that Josué said could accommodate 14 people each. We even saw them with 14 chairs. However, on the day of the event, each table had only 10 chairs, leaving some of my family members without seats. 3. FOOD PROBLEMS & HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE I paid for food for 230 people, with service scheduled from 5-7 p.m. Because the doors opened late and food was served late, around 6:30 p.m. I was already being told there was no more food and that guests had arrived late. Before my daughter's main dances even began, and before 7 p.m., I was told that additional plates would cost extra. Approximately 20 guests never showed up, and I had even brought pizzas for the children. Instead of enjoying this special moment, I was forced to deal with food problems in the middle of the celebration. It was extremely stressful and humiliating for me, my niece, and my sister. Rather than helping us resolve the situation, we felt as though we were being made fun of. 4. ADDITIONAL FOOD CHARGES The woman who identified herself as the owner's representative charged me more than $400 for additional plates, while Josué charged other family members another $180 for additional plates. This was extremely frustrating after I had already paid for food for 230 people. 5. TERRIBLE DRINK & APPETIZER SERVICE The chips and salsa I purchased for my guests were not served until approximately 9 p.m., even though I had brought them specifically for the party. I was told staff would help ensure drinks were available throughout the evening. Instead, they placed only one pitcher on each table. When I asked Josué to have sodas placed on the tables, he told me guests could go to the bar and ask for them. There was only ONE bartender serving approximately 230 people! 6. REMOVING DECORATIONS DURING MY DAUGHTER'S DANCES At approximately 7 p.m., while my daughter's special dances were taking place, waitresses had already started removing the bases for the centerpieces from the tables. The dances had just begun, yet staff were already taking decorations away from the setup we had paid for. This was incredibly disappointing and disrespectful to such an important moment. Planning a quinceañera takes time, effort, money, and excitement. As a mother, all I wanted was for my daughter to be happy and enjoy a day she would remember forever. Instead, I spent the celebration worrying about screens, buying additional supplies, dealing with seating issues, addressing food shortages, and facing unexpected charges. I did not pay for a venue to spend the entire party resolving problems that should have been handled professionally. What disappoints me most is that, in response to other reviews posted by my family, the owner has stated that he was not responsible for what happened. However, my experience took place inside his establishment and involved people who identified themselves as representatives of the venue. Research this venue carefully before booking, check for any lawsuits. Read reviews, ask questions in writing, and review your contract thoroughly. Make sure every service, screen, food quantity, seating arrangement, and beverage service is clearly documented. If you have concerns about legal disputes, research publicly available records rather than relying on verbal assurances. In my experience, the service and organization fell far below what I expected for such an important celebration. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE. Too much stress, too many problems & a huge disappointment for a day that should have been with happiness memor

This is a truly generous act that allows the chorus to practice and continue its operation. The Town Center Hall also puts on a Christmas Festival on December 1st each year. I attended this year's and it was very nicely run. They had free hot chocolate, kettle corn, an "ice" skating rink, and even snow machine for kids to make snow balls. They provided ample trash cans and port-o-potties. There was live music from the surrounding children's choruses around Santa Fe Springs and even a performance resident chorus, the Masters of Harmony. Overall, Santa Fe Springs does a great job connecting with the community.
