We had our son's first birthday (Korean Dohl) back in May at the venue. From the very beginning from getting a tour and a quote to the day of, Adam was extremely helpful. Adam was very responsive from the beginning and was able to answer any and all of my questions in a timely fashion. The venue itself is beautiful. It's clean, large and classy. They have a lovely entryway before you get into the banquet room. There is a CLEAN bathroom (which I feel like most places do not) for both men and women, there is a lounge area, a bar top and also a TV screen where you can display a photo loop, which is what we did. For the event, they even set out several glasses of mimosas for our guests to enjoy prior to eating. Inside the banquet hall there was plenty of room for our tables, a photo booth, a candy buffet, a gift table and room in the middle for the children to kind of run around and play. At the head of the room we created a Doljabi table that was nicely and prominently displayed with all the Korean goodies and such. We also had access to what is usually the bridal suite for us to store any boxes for decor and also for the nursing mothers. There was such a great selection of food, I didn't really get to eat anything, but several of the guests mentioned that the food was really good. The staff there was also very helpful and accommodated any special needs we needed for the day of. As for costs, I think it was affordable. We weren't trying to spend "wedding money" on our son's first birthday and we certainly did not, even with paying for complimentary valet for all our guests. If you're looking for a clean, spacious venue with a manager that really knows how to treat his clientele right, you should contact MGM Banquet Hall. read more

I have not been able to reach this banquet hall since 2019. Our school already paid the entire cost of the event and have not been able to speak to anyone about getting a refund or rescheduling the event. Adam the owner has been unresponsive. read more

Where do I start?! First and most importantly Adam the venue manager is AMAZING! We couldn't thank him enough! From the 1st day we met him we could tell he really cares about making the bride and groom happy. He pays attention to every detail and responds right away to any and all questions. He literally coordinated our wedding in 1 month ! And everything was perfect! We honestly couldn't have had this wedding without him! Thank you sooo much Adam !!! The venue itself is gorgeous ! It has that romantic and elegant feel . They even have an on site bridal suite that's perfect! We were able to get ready there not having to worry about time ! His staff are also very nice and helpful! The food OMG simply delicious!! And sooo much of it!!! Over 15 appetizers and 3 main courses ! And fresh fruit ! All of our guests keep telling us how delicious everything was and how they just kept bringing more food ! We also got the package with the premium open bar for our guests and of course everyone loved it! The bartender was very friendly and made great drinks ! They even made 4 signature drinks for us!!! All in all we had the best day ever !!! Wouldn't have changed a thing !! read more

Just like all the other reviewers have mentioned, Adam really is super helpful through the entire planning process! From the day we met him to our wedding day, he was always attentive and quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. The best part through the entire process was definitely the FOOD TASTING. There was so much food and it made my heart (and tummy) so happy. I'm glad we were able to taste it then since we barely had anything to eat the day of the wedding! The venue itself was beyond beautiful with the dim lighting and the drapes. Love the updated modern vibe and second bar Adam opened up for guests who wanted soda, beer or wine only (so the open bar wouldn't have a long line). Word of advice: GET THE TZATZIKI SAUCE! Hub and I agreed it is one of the best we've ever had and it pairs with everything. Some cons (that does not alter the 5 star rating): - Reception space holds 300 guests but the cocktail hour space is super tiny so we had to let our guests in a little earlier so everyone wasn't cramped - Valet parking can be a wait if you have a lot of guests - Waiters cleaned up quick and really early; a few guests mentioned the food was taken before they were done eating and the favors were thrown away while they were on the dance floor read more

I am on my honeymoon but wanted to take a few minutes to tell everyone how AMAZING my wedding was, all thanks to Adam and MGM Banquet Hall!!! We got married on 02.17.2018 and it was a truly beautiful and perfect day!!! When we got engaged a year ago, my fiancé and I had planned to visit a few venues in Glendale in order to pick our favorite one...well, we went to MGM first and ended up booking our wedding that day!!! With zero hesitation!! The place is beautiful, spacious, modern, and clean!! And Adam, the manager, is knowledgeable, helpful and sooooo nice!!! I emailed him so many questions and he usually answered them within a few minutes!! He really brought down my wedding nerves by being supportive, informative and honest!! He knows the wedding world and made sure than our wedding was exactly what we wanted!! All of our guests raves about the FOOD, the beauty of the salon and the incredibly professional service!!! I would not HESITATE to recommend this venue to anyone!!! read more

Wow.. never had I thought it iS possible to have a horrible Armenian food. Went there for a friends wedding. Service was good, waiter was very nice and accommodating but the food was horrible. It felt likE it was prepared week befor the actual event .. even salads looked day old.. the only good thing was a Khachapuri and a caviar that was brought separately by a groom and a bride. Do not recommend this place read more

Where do we start!? From the moment we first met with Adam, we knew we were in good hands when we decided to book this place as our wedding reception. He did exactly what he said he would do. From the grand entrance to the cake cutting, he's there to keep you on track! His staff was amazing, everyone kept telling us how good they were. Let's not even begin to talk about the food! There was so much food and all of our guests loved it. I really loved the bridal suite, gave the wedding party some space to relax before the grand entrance. Overall, nothing but good things to say about this place. We would definitely recommend it. Thank you Adam! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. My husband and I just had our wedding at the MGM on June 1, 2019 & everything turned out amazing! We booked our venue almost 2 years in advance and Adam went above and beyond in helping us through the entire process. He truly is amazing at what he does. He made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding and was more than helpful with everything before, during, and after the wedding. Our guests had such a great time and loved the venue and food. I strongly recommend the MGM, it's a beautiful venue and Adam and his staff are the best!!!! read more

MGM, THANK YOU! My Husband and I recently held our wedding at the MGM, and i must say this venue not only exceeded OUR expectations but its been almost 2 weeks and the guest are still bragging about how it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've seen! So first i have to say a personal Thank You to the GM Adam! Im sure we became friends via email as much as i'd contacted him with questions and concerns lol but I must admit he is on top of it. Not one of my questions went unanswered! Next I want to address the LOVELY Bridal suite! My ladies and I loved it! There was comfortable room for us all to get dressed, also a bathroom, oh not to mention there is a vanity room for hair and makeup in the suite! What more can a Bride ask for?! The food was Amazing! My guest wont stop talking about how much food there was! And that fish was everything! My aunt said she's been to weddings in Beverly Hills, Malibu and more, but the food has NEVER been that good!

UPDATE on my review: My wedding...correction...STAR WARS WEDDING I've been waiting for finally arrived on May 4th 2018. I was so blown away how beautiful it turned out. I had my ceremony and reception same place (best decision ever). The draping, the lighting, the friendly service was the best. Adam was there all the way. To make long story short. During cocktail hour I wasn't feeling well, i made the mistake of not eating enough and keeping myself hydrated. Once Adam heard he brought all the food can carry with him. When it was time to greet my guest from each table. Everyone was full of compliments about the entire venue and of course The FOOD! (Mediterranean -family style) it was the topic of the day. Guest kept saying "OMG the food kept coming and can't stop eating it because it's so good". IT WAS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!! My husband and I spent on this venue. Adam, thanks again for being there through out the entire time. Thank you for your professionalism and friendly service. I hope to run into you again. read more

This review is long overdue; but credit needs to be taken. We did our wedding ceremony and reception at the MGM in November and all I can say is that I wouldn't have chosen any other place. We had been venue searching for about a month before we came across this hall and when we did a virtual tour(available online), which is extremely helpful for planning - future brides. We fell in love with the place and it's lighting. We scheduled a walk through and the virtual tour was exactly as the venue itself. We booked immediately and were so excited to have our wedding date available. Adam, the guy in charge is SO helpful and easy to work with. Wedding planning itself can be a nightmare but our venue was one of the few things I didn't have to worry about at all. Every little bridezilla question I had that popped into my head, I'd email and he would respond to very quickly. He covers absolutely everything and will make you feel assured that your vision is understood. The day of our wedding he and his staff took care of us, everything came together beautifully. We had both our ceremony and reception hosted there; and the venue was set up hours before our wedding and looked stunning! Adam helped coordinate our vendors and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food.... was never ending! We were able to make a selection of 20 appetizers and 3 main courses per table....! Yes, you read that right per table! All of our guests raved about the food and the options that they had. The set up is family style which really helps your guests interact with each other & no one goes home feeling hungry. I'm so thankful to each staff member and Adam for hosting such a memorable and beautiful wedding. We were so lucky to come across this venue and cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Adam, you are very appreciated! read more

I've been to this venue a few times now. They did a nice job renovating a few years ago. Sometimes the color changes are a bit much, but that should be controllable. The layout is a little weird since as a dj, I had to setup to the side. I prefer setting up facing the guests, but it's still manageable. Parking is a bit tough to find on the street. But luckily, they do valet service available like most halls do in the Glendale area. read more

MGM Banquet Hall - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Glendale, California

Went to a friend's son wedding recently. The atmosphere was great, service was very good. The wedding was wonderful. The only complain I had was the way the food was served. We got there like 15 minutes late cause the complimentary parking was full. So we had to park like 15 minutes walking distance away. By the time we got to the table most of the good finger food was gone. So had to eat what was left over. The main food was Mediterranean kabob with rice and fish. They just brought enough food to be passed around the table. We had 14 people in our table instead of 12 people. So I had to ask them to bring a few more pieces so that everyone can have one serving. I felt like we were predetermined how much food we were supposed to have, one serving per person only. Usually the weddings I attended, we were served a set of food, like each person would get their appetizer, salad, and main course enough that we felt full. I wish it was buffet type, so we can serve ourselves and go back for a second if needed, rather having food passed around and we have to watch to get just the minimal amount of food so everyone on the table would have enough for one serving. By the time I got home which was like 40 minutes driving I was hungry already. Besides the parking and the amount of food every thing else was great. read more

Adam went above and beyond with service from day one until our wedding day. He made sure everything was exactly the way we wished it to be. Our guests loved the food, too. Highly recommend this place. read more

We had the most amazing experience at MGM for our daughter's ArabiONE themed 1st birthday party! The place is absolutely gorgeous and you get soooo much for what you pay for. Their prices are so reasonable and their food was soooo delicious. To this day, we get compliments from guests on how good and abundant the food was. From the very beginning, Adam was such a pleasure to work with. First off, he's very responsive to any questions and was always so gracious and kind anytime we talked or met with him. You can tell that he genuinely wants his clients to be happy and that it affects him if they're not. We had a little hiccup during the party, and Adam more than made up for the hiccup. He is seriously an asset to MGM and HE is what makes this place so successful. Adam - thank you so much for making our daughter's birthday extra special for her and I cannot wait to work with you again! read more

And then there's the food. Wow! They provide a huge list to choose from and our guests sure did not leave hungry! The food was delicious, the space is beautiful, Adam was awesome. Def. would recommend the place to friends and family! read more

Adam at MGM is seriously the best. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding reception than at this hall and with his help making the night run smoothly and handling anything that came up quickly and with ease. Throughout the planning process, Adam was responsive to communications via email and phone for any little question we had, which made us feel like everything was in good hands, and it definitely was. We are so appreciative of all of his and his staff's hard work in making the night memorable and just 100% fun for all the guests. Oh, and P.S, your guests will NOT leave hungry -- all of mine mentioned how much food they received and how much they enjoyed it :D Definitely recommend for any event!! read more

This hall is beautiful & elegant, that's why I chose to have my 35th b-day here last year. The food is incredible, the staff is professional and courteous. I love the décor and the colors. The lobby is gorgeous and spacious. I was able to place a piano right in the middle, which looked amazing! I recommended this place to my cousin and he had his wedding here in June of 2013. They were so happy & thankful! The hall has been completely remodeled from inside out and now it looks even more beautiful! The dance floor is huge, which is always a plus. The separate area for the head table is luxurious, any bride & groom will feel like a queen & king sitting there. I highly recommend MGM Hall to anyone who wishes to have an unforgettable event!

Service was outstanding, very attentive waiters and waitresses. It's a banquet hall that you can rent for all occasions, newly renovated, food is excellent. One great thing about this place is that he allowed us to do a food tasting before our event took place. They offer champagne service before the event starts. Valet parking only unless you can find somewhere on the street. read more

5 stars for Adam the GM and his accommodating, sweet team. 1 star for a reccamended DJ "Franky Flow" I will start with the positives as it's 99.9% positive! I came to Adam four and a half months almost five prior to our wedding date because another local venue cancelled on us out of the blue. We were devastated and looked at 15 other venues in the area- NONE compare. Sure, there are more "grand" meaning larger venues. But MGM held our almost 170 guests comfortably and spaciously. Staff I'd say is really kind and we're in the service industry so service was a priority. Second, budget and food equally :D Budget- this is an EXTREMELY reasonable priced venue that includes all food as family style. SCORE. We are a Mexican-Egyptian interracial couple and the food was catered to both and top notch to make mama proud to serve our families! Everyone to this day talks about the food at our wedding more than anything else! DOUBLE SCORE. Adam was so so kind and sweet to suggest a bunch of places which we did go with the limo suggestion- 5 star. The Dj although wasn't worth it- but hey at least we had one? Sorta? He did leave early, left his assistant to run the show but said he would MC and didn't after the grand entrance.. We were so excited because he started out so strong and had everyone dancing and it was magical! After speeches that he didn't introduce anyone he disappeared. What a shame, Adam and his team doesn't deserve a newbie but I do hope he gets better because he had a lot of potential, is a great people person and did start of strong. Maybe he needs a second mic to MC and introduce people? More practice with the MC part and he'd be solid. He really made the experience a little less because the second half of the reception. Nonetheless I married my best friend so, the day was perfect regardless. Okay so overall our experience with the venue is a 100/100 don't walk to see Adam- RUN before your date is booked!! You will not regret it!! Thank you Adam and team so much! read more

I had my wedding reception at MGM in August 2015. It was seriously the best day of my life. Adam, the general manager, made every aspect of setting up for the reception as easy and painless as possible. He really goes out of his way to ensure professionalism and great hospitability. PRICE - MGM charges per person and their rates are highly competitive when compared to other banquet halls in Glendale. The cost for the reception was so affordable; our monetary gifts covered the cost of the reception! BASICALLY THE RECPTION WAS FREE! LOL. Adam works with you to give you a great value. MGM will give you a discount depending on the season and day of your event. FOOD -AMAZING! We were served over 20 appetizers and 3 different main courses. I love the food and so did all of my guests. Main courses include grilled salmon, kabobs, pork chops, and BBQ chicken Sodas and coffee were complimentary. SERVICE - Top notch. As good as you can get, but better. VENUE - MGM was recently renovated. It looks very modern yet classy. The banquet hall easily sat my 200 guests. There was more than enough room to move around and mingle. ALCOHOL - we did the cash bar and I paid the first $800 for my guests. My guests bought more alcohol on their own. Adam has more options that will fit your budget. BONUS #1 - A bridal suite was set up for my wife to change before our surprise wedding dance. Adam actually let my wife use the bridal suite before the wedding ceremony to put on make-up. It was a great alternative to having it done at hotel and saved us some money. BONUS #2 - Adam let us use the dance floor several times to practice for our surprise wedding dance. BONUS #3 - Adam gave us a complimentary food tasting a week before our wedding reception. BONUS #4 - We reserved our date 6 months in advance, but were allowed to reschedule if needed. read more

One of the biggest highlight of the venue was the food which is very important. Everybody was full and thought the food was good. More than enough food for seconds. Adam the GM was there the whole night making sure things ran smoothly and we appreciated that. The only hic up was our guest list, our entire guest list was not displayed on the tv screen. That was my only concern, but everything was amazing. Very happy I chose MGM. read more

MGM Banquet Hall - Spotlight in the dance floor - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Glendale, California

I'm not much of a yelp reviewer but this one was a must. My wife and I got engaged last year and were looking for the perfect venue. We checked about 8 different venues but nothing compared to the experience we had when we walked into MGM. MGM venue was beautiful but that wasn't the main reason why we chose this specific location. The man of the house, Adam, helped us out with everything we needed, from detailed and tedious questions to continually following up with us. He didn't try to up-sell us and went straight to the point. He did not waste any time on throwing us a sales pitch but told us exactly what we needed. It was honestly refreshing as the other venues did not make it this smooth and easy. We obviously chose this place and did not regret a thing. Adam constantly followed up and answered all our questions in a timely manner and did not disappoint. My wife and I were picky about a few things but he was always supportive and open to suggestions to work around it. My wife and I got married on August with the help of Adam and til this day we still hear compliments from friends and family about how great and amazing our wedding party, venue, and the coordinator was. I would most definitely recommend this venue with Adam! Thank you again Adam and MGM for the best day of our lives! read more

MGM Banquet Hall is your go to venue for any type of occasion. Great location in the heart of Glendale across the street from Americana. It's always been a beautiful hall but they recently remodeled and upgraded all the lighting as well so it's even better now. I myself am a DJ and I've played about a dozen events here. Not one time did I see a client leave unhappy. The manager Adam streamlines the whole process for you. Adam is professional, kind and knows exactly what you need before you even ask for it. He's willing to customize your event exactly to your preference to make sure the clients are happy. I suggest when you call in, ask to speak with him first. Always great food, very nice staff and waiters. You can't go wrong having your wedding, engagement, birthday or any of your special events held here at this place. read more
