Absolutely one of the best venues bar none This centralized location in uptown Whittier was exactly what we were looking for for a retirement party. We had about 100 people for the celebration and we decorated the place and set up a photo drop by the bathroom. Our package had dinner and we brought our own cake. If people wanted alcohol it was on their own. The food was good, it was simple and tasty. The interior has lots of charm, it has warm woodbeam ceilings. This place used to be a bank and was built in the 1920s. I believe it can accommodate close to 200 people. I would say 150 is a pretty sweet number. Since it's an older building it does not have an elevator. However they do have those seats that gets you up and downstairs from those 90s era. We brought our own DJ ans decor, unlike places which only allow you to choose their own. Small Bathroom upstairs and a regular men's and women's downstairs. There's a bar in the back with top shelve selections. Food came out quickly and the night I do want to give props to Art and the team here. He made sure everything went smooth for us at the retirement party. From start to finish. He even made sure we had a parking spot since we were the MC of the night. So if you are looking for a place to celebrate, don't hesitate to look here as a one of your choices. read more

Crystal Marquis - Amazing set up - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Whittier, California

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Crystal Marquis, and it was the best decision we could have made! From start to finish, everything was incredible. Alexis was absolutely amazing! she was my right-hand both leading up to the wedding and on the big day itself. She made the entire process stress-free and handled everything smoothly. I genuinely don't know what I would have done without her. Art was also fantastic! He brought such great energy to the night and perfectly matched all the vibes throughout the event. He made everything so fun and kept the celebration going. The entire staff was wonderful! so professional, attentive, and kind. The food was delicious and we received zero complaints from our guests. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. I wouldn't have chosen another venue. We're so grateful to the whole team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. read more

Best place we could have had our ceremony/reception! Alexis and Art are truly the dynamic duo! Alexis was amazing in the months leading up to our special day. She was patient, kind and gave the best ideas to a young couple who knew little to nothing about wedding planning. She was very personable and treated our wedding as the most special day, not as if it were "just another event". She would even stay after hours to accommodate our busy schedules and was very supportive when stress became emotional. Art was such a fun DJ and MC! He would also stay long hours to help craft the most perfect playlist for both reception and ceremony. He kept the energy high with good music and fun activities during the reception. I would love to have our vow renewal or anniversary celebration there in the future one day. I highly recommend EVERYONE to have their special event at the Crystal Marquis. They have the most down-to-earth team and we couldn't have chosen a more magical place to have our wedding. THANK YOU ART AND ALEXIS! read more

Crystal Marquis is a beautiful event venue with so much character and a unbeatable price! I knew I loved it when seeing it online but in person is just so much better. My husband and I celebrated our wedding here with all our loved ones. A little back story, we are from CA but live in TX so when it came to getting married we knew we would need to have it in CA to celebrate with our families. Searching for a venue and vendors from out of state is not easy and requires a lot of trust! Upon finding and contacting the team at Crystal Marquis they were very helpful and informative. Alexis!! Was our coordinator throughout the process and she is awesome, detailed and a super woman. Mariah was our coordinator day of and she was super great about making sure the event moved along seemlessly and making any adjustments quickly. All of the staff was very kind! My family had an absolute blast a lot of them said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and they all complimented the food. I would say the only downside or complaint my guests had is how far the other bathrooms are. But I knew that going into it. Thank you, Crystal Marquis team y'all made our wedding dreams come true! read more

Great looking venue , very historic . Only downfall are the extremely high prices of bar drinks . Almost high enough to scare folks away !

We had our wedding celebration last weekend and it was everything we envisioned it to be. Alexis was our coordinator and she pretty much checked all our boxes in terms of making our wedding perfect! Her and Art did an amazing job making sure that the planning/program was smooth and as less-stressing as possible. They guided us through every detail and kept in contact even in the middle of the night. We had our ceremony at Penn Park, in which they did a beautiful job setting up. Also, the set up for our reception in Crystal Marquis was very elegant and perfect four our needs. Overall, our vision and expectations were all met and Alexis went all out and beyond to make sure that we had a fantastic wedding that's within our budget . Really recommend this place if you're planning a wedding or any other special events. Thank you Crystal Marquis! read more

My wife and I just had our wedding at the Crystal Marquis on 12/11/22. Let me tell you that 5 stars are not enough!!! They need 100 stars!!! Alexis and Mariah are the best wedding coordinators! They are attentive, professional, supportive, and sweet! They take pride in the work they do and are hands-on throughout the whole planning process and during the actual event day! Mariah even took me to the bathroom and helped to unzip and zip my outfit back up TWICE! The owner, Art, is super friendly and helped plan our table layout and decor. He was an amazing DJ and MC! We are a same-sex couple so Alexis and Mariah bought rainbow pins for the staff to show their support and to create an inclusive space. It was very sweet of them! We got married at their sister chapel called Harmony Chapel which was walking distance from the Crystal Marquis. We got sooo many complements on the decor, the food (we had tequila lime chicken and tilapia), and the music! I recommend the Crystal Marquis 1000%! Let this be your sign to book them. You will not regret it! read more

The customer service was truly exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless. From the moment we toured this beautiful venue, we felt welcomed like family.

The other packages they offered provided incredible value, covering everything from the delectable charcuterie and nacho bar to the energetic DJ (DJ Squeaker) and gorgeous floral arrangements as well as referrals to a super fun photo booth and a creative and talented photographer/videographer. The attention to detail was impeccable. Overall, it was a genuinely incredible experience that we would highly recommend to any couple searching for the perfect wedding venue.

Especially Mariah, she deserves so much recognition for how much work she put it. She made sure to send me all the information I needed and even made my wedding timeline( saved me from hours of stressing) she was always so sweet and accommodating to everything. My wedding was amazing! Everything looked so beautiful and went so smooth. The food was so good, we went with the chicken Alfredo pasta !

We held our wedding reception at The Crystal Marquis last weekend and everything was perfect! Art took the lead and walked us through every aspect step by step, ensuring our event would be a success. All of the staff were beyond friendly and helpful. I recommend The Crystal Marquis for any event that you would like to have come together seamlessly. I visited several other venues before selecting The Crystal Marquis. However, they could not compare to what was offered. From the delicious cuisine, the table linen, flatware and stemware that were included, to the awesome microphones, lighting and sound system, The Crystal Marquis outshined the rest. Art and crew, thank you for making our #HappilyEverAfter party a night to remember! read more

I had my wedding reception at the Crystal Marquis in December 2016 and the whole staff was amazing. We booked the venue one year ahead. They are very busy in December as they have holiday parties on top of other events. Art, Art Junior and Nikki along with Leslie were just of so much help. They are a dependable staff and on the day of the reception, they took care of all the details. The only "con" I can think of was the communication during the period of engagement through email as I didn't get responses. We took care of details with phone tagging and visiting the location. So it worked out. The "pro" list could take forever to write and read. The venue was beautiful. This is basically a draft of a 5 star review. The staff was so helpful in accommodating us. We opted to cater from a different place for our dinner reception and the CM staff was great at plating the food and serving our guests. We used their bakers rack for our desserts and I wish I had pictures to show what a great job they did in displaying the desserts. The tables for our guests looked great with the decor from the centerpieces from CM to the plates and napkins. I would recommend this venue100% for a wedding reception. read more

A beautiful venue for a wedding. Came here for my friend's wedding mad had a great time. Tons of parking with direct access to the hall. There's plenty of room for dancing, dining and drinking. Their staff work very quickly and always with a smile. The decor is classic and very luxurious. You feel like you're in an elegant yet historic part of town. The bar is huge and the bar service is quick. Food was great and served quickly as well. There's a separate room from the main floor that is great for a photo booth which is what it was used for. The restroom ms are clean and the hallways are well lit. I had a great time and I'm sure the bride and groom did as well. Cheers to the staff for putting on an excellent event. If I had to get married all over again and lived in the LA or OC Area I would consider this venue for sure. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I had a scheduled wedding in 2021 paid and Art ghosted us weeks before our wedding. He has yet to pay us back. I have called him many times with no response and now they have blocked my number! Art had the nerve to give me a call the WEEK of the scheduled wedding asking if we still wanted to have it. A WEDDING! Art gave me every excuse in the book and now seeing reviews that he is still hosting events makes me even more upset that he does not even have the decency to return our call or pay us back. I will be suing him now due to the stress he has caused us during this time. read more

This review is long over due but we finally got a few photos back from our photographer! We found this venue by pure coincidence and it was the best choice we could have ever made for our wedding that we had in March earlier this year! This place is beyond gorgeous and pictures alone do not do it justice. My husband I both knew as soon as we meet Mariah and Alexis that this was the place for us and when we got to take a look at the venue it took my breath away. Alexis and Mariah were so helpful and amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. We used both the onsite vendor for the DJ (Art aka DJ Squeaker) and photo booth (FOMO Party Booth) and they were both great choices too! Art was so kind and patient and really delivered on what we were looking for a the atmosphere and an even better MC!! Nothy with FOMO Party booth was so helpful and attentive to our guest during the reception that we had so many guest come up to us and tell us how great she was!! Thank you to everyone who helped make our wedding one that both of our families will remember for many years to come!!!! read more

Where do I start? lol, the whole experience from beginning to end was amazing Mariah and Alexis make the best dual. They made the whole transition very smooth. I celebrated my daughter sweet 16. They both have great customer service and were very helpful and informative from beginning to end. They really take their job seriously and make sure to accommodate any of your needs. They were quick to respond to any of the questions or concerns. Their prices are very economical. They pretty much take care of everything. The staff was awesome. The decorations and center pieces are included as well. The food was very delicious. They have the whole dj both set up. So u don't have to be taking any equipment with you. It was definitely a memorable night for my daughter sweet 16. I highly recommend this place to everyone. I'm truly grateful and appreciate everything. Once again, THANK YOU, MARIAH, ALEXIS AND ART I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS read more

Art Jr and Nikki were truly amazing! They were extremely accommodating and patient with me (bride) I would without a doubt recommend CM to all my friends and family. Just how I pictured everything that's exactly how it was. Their pricing is reasonable. My guest had a great experience and kept saying how good the food was. Art Jr was also my MC and I am glad I made that choice he was AMAZING! I love how they paid attention to everything I wanted and that's what I had. The only complain is the restrooms being downstairs and guest had to walk up and down the stairs, but that wasn't a big deal to me. There's more pros than cons to this venue. Simply beautiful! read more

The Crystal Marquis is a very beautiful venue, it has a 1920's Gatsby feel to it. It's an excellent venue for any event really but i think a dark color formal event is perfect for this place. 5/5 for the venue. The team behind the night, which includes the wait staff/ servers/ security are the key behind this establishments success. They're direction is nothing short of exceptional. Countless times i was asked if everything was going to my expectations and i had to remind everyone the service was above and beyond. Art, Lesly, art Sr are all so helpful inn anyway possible. Even in giving out quarters to my guests who didn't have that 1 or 2 extra quarter for the metered parking. They accommodated my DJ, my videographer, my ohotoboot personnel and really everyone who attended. They went above and beyond and I'm excited to return and have anoothwr event there. Thank you Art, Lesly & team! read more

A friend of mine has been looking for a hall for her wedding for quite sometime now...but I believe she has found the hall of her dream, here at the Crystal Marquis. This place has everything you want or need...If you have any special requests, well almost everyone wants their event to be unique. Art Garcia is the general manager at the Crystal Marquis.... Anything you need!! Today I went with my friend to do some food sampling... Let me tell you, my buddy really enjoyed the various dishes that they have to offer. Very tasty! The location of this hall is on Philadelphia and Greenleaf. It's an amazing location; everything is walking distance from here. If needed. The bar is upstairs in the main hall and the decor is very cool. It's a definitely must see... or if not take a look at my pics. Don't forget to tell Art Garcia that Elias sent you. Trust me it's worth it! read more

I really have to hand it to the staff at the CM. They really work their tails off. We had our Ceremony and Reception with CM this past October. Let me start by giving you the "bad" My only real issue was the communication. It didn't feel like anyone works here during regular business hours. So if I took a day off, I couldn't really go to the venue and meet with people and iron things out. The earliest time I was ever given to arrive was 3pm during the week. They are closed Sunday/Monday unless there is an event. Leaving a message on the answering machine was almost always pointless, so email was the way to go. With that said, they really do go above and beyond with their service. The building: Old, pretty, beautiful if you appreciate historical value. Restrooms are a bummer, only 1 stall on the main floor, larger restrooms two floors down. Lot's of potential to set the room up and side room in a variety of ways and not feel cramped or cluttered. The staff: Always polite, friendly, funny, reassuring and professional. Nikki and Art Jr, were our main points of contact and they are very thorough...like very. :) They give options and suggestions and bring up the things you don'y think of and what I REALLY appreciated most, is that they do not pressure you into conforming to the way we all picture weddings to be. My (now) Husband and I are some what non traditional and they really appreciated that as well. The offerings: Really...what could be your one stop shop aside from your attire, transportation and part of your cake. We're utilized the CM for our Ceremony, Reception, Pastor, Food, Faux Cake, half of our centerpeices... The CM includes tables, lines, chairs (we upgraded to the gold chiviari chair at an AMAZING price, I couldn't pass it up), centerpieces (if you want), dinner package (Salad, entree, rolls), Soft drinks (not soda), set up, clean up....the list goes on! The price was very very reasonable for many other venues that we visited and contacted. You have to be flexible on certain things but I am so glad that we made the decision to go with the CM. We added the Ceremony package as well, and I can tell you that I was absolutely over the moon that we did. We chose the Penn Park location (I always wanted an outdoor wedding but those can cost $$$, when CM mentioned the outdoor ceremony option, I was sold.) We used their referral for Pastor Alex and it worked out good. Art, Jr. acted as our MC because we forgot about that and he did great as many others can contest to in their reviews. I can't say enough about the CM and the staff. read more

My wedding was this past weekend and my husband and I are still in awe of how great our experience was with Nicki, Emily, Art Jr. and Pops. They are true professionals and care about their customers. First in the planning stages- I did have to be the initiator with meetings, but they were always willing to accommodate our schedule. Always friendly and answering every request. So leave a message when you call, and send emails. That kept us in communication. Reception decor- this was the key selling point for me. They allow you to use their beautiful center pieces and linens. So we didn't have to purchase flowers and saved alot of money that way. It worked out great. They have other pieces they allow you to use that are versatile. Fake cake was the best!! We used their fake cake and purchases costco cakes for way less. No one had a clue! The MC Art Jr had our guests entertained and kept the energy up!! My husband and I were complimented all night on how much they were having. He kept us informed of everything we needed to know. He also paid attention to guests requests and worked them in to the playlist without hesitation. The food was excellent. They bring it in from a caterer so no kitchen on site and that made me nervous that the food would be cold when served but it wasn't. Food was fresh and hot and the rolls were too. Overall I can't say enough great things about this place. Our day was stress free and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more
