    Bouncy house from previous party
    Liliana C.

    If I could give this event hall no stars I absolutely would. I'm not a person to complain unless there is an extreme wrongdoing from a business. Amelia and the Imperial Palace did just that for my nieces quinceañera. My post is long but I don't want anyone else to go through this on their special day. The hall was originally booked from 5pm-midnight we had met with Amelia and picked the menu, linen, and amount of tables and she kept pushing for the event to be from 6pm-1am. My sister didn't want to because the invitation said 5pm, Amelia told her they could have a cocktail hour from 5-6 and there were in fact no cocktail tables setup ever. Amelia said from 5-6 the quinceañera could get photos in the hall with the decorations and family. That did not happen because the hall wasn't ready until 6 pm and it was the florists and the quinceañeras family setting up the tables, napkins, appetizers, and vacuuming the carpet. The hall was not ready because they were greedy and double booked the day. The other party was still being cleaned up at 4pm the time Amelia had said the hall would be completely ready by, she had said to have the florist come at 3pm because all of the tables would be set up with linen, silverware and centerpieces by then. I will attach a photo of what the hall looked like at 4pm. The hall management is claiming they did nothing wrong because the hall was ready for guests to be seated by 6pm. Had it not been for the efforts of the party guests and outside vendors the hall would not have been ready. Half the guests received cold food from the hall and had it not been for the In n Out truck they wouldn't have had a hot meal at the event. It is disappointing that such a nice hall with seemingly nice staff has such an irresponsible management team that almost ruined such a special day. I will never recommend this hall to anyone.

    This was my second time photographing a wedding there, and every time i get amazed with the service and the food. The girl in charge she is really on top of everything and really helpful. Everything was on point

    . Let me start with my stars. My Husband and I did our research we did the leg work. We have the experience. This is our 4th quinceañera so we know and understand what it is to to appreciate value. Imperial Palace was absolutely great. Amelia was very informative, she was generous in allowing us to pretty much do whatever we wanted. The food was delicious and there was plenty. We paid for valet from the vendor she recommended (Arsen) he was reasonable and we had zero complaints. We brought our own liquor and went with her bartender recommendation. We were concerned at first because we expected over 350 guests and didn't want our guests to be in lines to long, we were assured this would not happen. Lines are unavoidable at a 15ra with 350 Latinos and an open bar , but they rose to the occasion and did not disappoint. The servers were sweethearts and I can tell worked very hard to please. Before going with this venue we got prices for different ones; for the amount of guests we had, the cost would have been at least double. Again happy with the value we definitely got more bang for the buck .. Thank you Amelia and Staff we appreciate hard work and can see you all take pride in it. "Mashallah ".

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENUE. Nothing but lies and issues for your event. What a Dissapointment. After many options of choices of Venues, we settled on Imperial Venue because of location and venue appearance. The event was for my Daughters Quinceanera, supposed to be a magical day and started with extreme Havoc and emotional distress. My personal event coordinator showed up to the venue at 3:00 to start setting up for our hall to be ready for the Quince girl and immediately family to do a photo shoot in reception hall with everything set up at 5:00 since we had reserved the venue from 5-12pm. Well let me tell you that she showed up to the extreme surprise as there was a full blown party occurring from the morning booking(a booking we were never told of until the day before our event and promised it would not intervene with our timeline), my coordinator proceeded to speak with Amelia the venue coordinator and discuss concern regarding the shutdown of the morning party so that our event could get setup and situated. She was told that the ongoing party was told already but they weren't stopping and she didn't know what to do, it took my sisters mother in law to arrive to help setup see the issues and physically go and disconnect the Bounce house and unplug the DJ power supplies to push the envelope for them to cease there party. At this point it's 4:30 and tables are being rolled out with chairs to start setup. We see maybe 3 people slowly starting to setup and realize they are short handed and the place isn't going to be ready to serve my guests. As guests begin to arrive they see the mess and my family and friends God Bless them stepped in to help. I'm talking about women in full gowns and men in suits sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming because the place was FILTHY DISGUSTING from the morning party and the venue couldn't handle bringing in more help to situate the place. Alone 6:01 there was still table setting happening and appetizers being set on tables by my family and 1 staff member. The event was supposed to seat people at 6:00. Around 6:15 I made the decision that after 15 of my close family members helped set tables, fold napkins and put cold foods on the tables we had enough presentation to start letting the 272 guests inside the Reception and start our festivities. Now the venue is denying there was any issues on our day, and denying to rectify the situation because we stayed at the facility and continued with our party. They feel because my guests had a good time evrything is ok. Reality is my guests that arrived after 6:15 had no idea what happened ! They are inconsiderate and manipulative, DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. The Emotional distress my wife and daughter went through at the start of this day was overwhelming. It is disappointing to spend so much money and there greed ruin the start of your event. I have attached some photos or proof to back up my comments regarding my guests setting the place up and one of the venue denying anything was wrong. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT TERRIBLE VENUE STAY AWAY!!!!!

    I had my dream wedding here four weeks ago. Everything was so wonderful! My family and friends are still taking about the wedding of the year. The food was delicious, from the time of our food tasting to the day of the wedding. Amelia and Emily were wonderful at organizing and helping us plan our most special day. The team was always helpful and worked hard to stay on schedule of the event. I can honestly say this venue is a dream, it's not too big and it's not too small, it's perfect to accommodate all your guests comfortably. They offer a variety of features such as lights, screen, etc. use them! You want to feel like royalty? Don't look any further, this is your venue!

    My granddaughter had her quinceañera at this place and it was a horrible experience. This venue don't even deserve one star The venue was a Disaster, guest of the party and family members had to help clean the hall and set up. Total disaster. I do not recommend this venue. It should have been a great event it did not my granddaughter walked in to a disaster.

The chairs and tables were in good shape and the kitchen was nicely renovated. The projector and sound system was easy to figure out as well since everything was well-labeled. The parking lot is tight, but not an issue as there is ample parking in front and near the venue.

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.

The territory is incredibly well maintained, with huge mature trees, beautiful flowers, fountains, mini waterfalls, and small ponds where you can see fish and turtles. There is also a lovely grassy area in the center where you can sit, relax, or have a small picnic. Geese walk freely around the gardens, and colorful parrots fly overhead, adding even more charm to the atmosphere. In April, the garden looks especially stunning -- the pergola and trees are in full bloom (I wish I remembered the names of those gorgeous flowers!), and the whole place feels alive and magical. Honestly, this garden is beautiful in any season of the year. You can come here with dogs, which is a big plus, but it's important to respect the property rules: pets must be on a leash, owners are responsible for cleanup, professional photography requires a permit, and activities like skateboarding, drinking alcohol, or organized sports events are not allowed. These rules help preserve the calm and cleanliness of the space. There is also a secondary school located on the property, which adds to the unique character of the place. Parking-wise, we were able to find free street parking nearby without any issues. This is a perfect spot to slow down, enjoy nature, and escape the city noise for a while. Highly recommended for a peaceful walk or a quiet moment surrounded by beauty.
