The Regal Event Venue

Little Saigon, King and Story, East San Jose

The Regal Event Venue was a cool place to watch an impromptu comedy show called Don't Tell Comedy…read more It's a mobile show, meaning you find out the location (here in this case) the morning of the event. I didn't know what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty nice. They angled the chairs so the stage was centered and the view of the comedians was great. Parking was a little difficult but just a hunt a little. It's in this Little Saigon shopping area so can get busy sometimes.

Since when did Vietnam Town get an event space that you can rent out? And a Regal one at that…read more... I know you like what I did there. I'm a little late to the party on this but so glad I was able to experience it this past weekend for a 75th bday celebration. What looks like an unassuming store front among all the other businesses is actually set up to be a place you could commemorate your next big milestone. While the actual space was on the smaller intimate side, Max Capacity is 120 guests-- so you can still have a good amount of folks for a party. Did I mention it includes a red carpet? It was rolled out for all of us upon entering and added that extra bit of glamour to match the occasion. Once inside, I appreciated the white walls and black drapes. There were multiple TV screens thoughtfully placed on the walls to showcase the celebrant. Later on, these same TV screens were used to present a slideshow of the birthday gal. Uplighting was laid out on the ground to lend to the atmosphere. In the middle was a mini stage that could be used for anything from performances to a DJ. The backlit black drapery behind the stage also gave cabaret vibes. From the looks of it, you could opt to bring your own catered food and also use their in house catering. For this specific party, they had both. The star of the food was their baked chicken-- It was tasty and fork tender. If I had to be nitpicky, the bathroom air freshener scent was off-putting. I couldn't wait to get out of there and switched to mouth breathing immediately. Other than that, this is definitely a place to consider for your next event.

Just celebrated my son baptism and everything was great! John and his team were wonderful and all…read moremy guest had a great time. Great location for an event with children. Definitely will keep on mind for my next event! Thank you all at Grace Banquet Hall!

I booked this venue on January 2nd for my daughter's quinceañera on November 8th. I came in person…read morewith my daughter, and the owner explained everything to me before I signed the contract. I made multiple payments throughout the year and trusted that everything was set. Just two and a half weeks before the event, I received a text message from the owner saying he had accidentally double booked my date and was asking if I could move the event to another day. I was completely shocked and devastated. I have family traveling from Mexico and Los Angeles, and I've already paid for the caterer, DJ, decorator, cake, and photographer. When you plan an event like this almost a year in advance, it's not something you can just change last minute. He offered to refund my money or try to find another venue, but how could I trust him again after such a huge mistake? I had no choice but to start over and look for another place, which means paying extra fees, delivery charges, and the inconvenience of relocating everything to Gilroy. Because of this, my daughter will no longer have her church ceremony, and that breaks my heart. This experience has been stressful, costly, and deeply disappointing. I do not recommend doing business with this person or this venue. They were unprofessional, careless, and completely unreliable with something so important. He doesn't even deserve the 1 star !!!

Wow! What an amazing experience our family had with Casablanca Banquet Hall. The owner Emik and all…read moreof her staff were incredibly kind, professional & are so beyond talented at what they do. The hall is stunning on the inside & their decor and choices feel high end and luxurious. If you want your party to feel elevated this is the place! They have a bar, dance floor and plenty of space for a small or large gathering. I had a small issue with a setup I was doing and Emik was so kind to help me & truly has a great eye for what she does. My family had an XV party here and as a guest I had an amazing time. The staff here was super attentive and professional. I will be recommending this location to anyone that is looking for a place for their next event after the great experience I had. You will be in great hands with this team!

Extremely pleased!…read more The pre-event coordination was excellent to be sure the night went off without a hitch. Options given were clearly meant to help us have a good time and guide us towards what worked best for us. While we had a much smaller event than they could handle, but the owner (Emik) went out of her way to make sure our guests were taken care of during the event and personally made sure even the food presentation was nice. The venue itself was a surprise - very nice inside! Great dance floor, sound and light system. Better than many similar sized venues I've been to. I liked that there was room between the dance floor area and bar to allow guests to mingle easily. Our event didn't include hot food, but I visited the prep area and it was clearly large enough for a caterer to stage whatever is needed (ie, lots of stainless countertops and sinks). I wouldn't hesitate to use them for our next event!

I attended a wedding reception here on Saturday, September 17th at 4:30pm…read more First off, there's parking behind the building which I didn't see, so I ended up street parking in the residential area across the street. I believe you have to get on N 24th Street to access the lot. There was confusion on my part as I got there a little early. The security guy said they weren't ready yet, so I should just wait outside. I ended up going inside the building to use the restroom and just sat outside the dining hall. I didn't realize there was a reception outside in the side patio by the parking lot. I wish the security guy had told me when I got there. I did manage to find out in time to have two drinks downstairs. The space inside was set up nicely. It's not a huge room, but the wedding itself wasn't super huge, so they used the space well. In front was the table for the bride, groom, and their two kids. They left space open in the front and in the middle of the room for dancing and the food. Come dinner time, they set up a buffet style table and we grabbed food that way. Downstairs, they had a photo booth set up up by the entrance of the building. There's a beautiful round staircase that takes you upstairs to the dining hall. Nice venue for a wedding. The building from the outside doesn't look like much, but you can do a lot with the space inside.

I CAN NOT say enough great things about this place and the service we received from the Staff…read more Connie Alvarez was AVAILABLE every minute of every day from beginning to end..she accommodated every last wish even last minute add ons. AMAZING!!! I HIGHLY recommend this place for any and every event you could think of. It's very fairly priced, the good is EXCELLENT, service is above and beyond. We planned a wedding for 250 people in 52 days. It could not have been as successful and beautiful without this amazing place. Thank You so much...already planning on having my daughters College Graduation Party here in 2019.
