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!!!

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!

I am so happy we chose MGM Banquet Hall for our wedding, not only is the space beautiful but Adam is the best. He makes sure everything goes smoothly and if you reach out to him he answers your questions quickly and honestly. Our wedding was so special and so beautiful. Thank you to Adam and his amazing staff for making sure our wedding was the best day ever!

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!!!!

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! The Ceremony! The setup was breathtaking!! Just like the pictures! It was Magical! I have to say my wedding day was everything i could have ever imagined and more! If you're looking for a Beautiful venue with great food and top quality customer service, MGM is where you should be booking!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Stacey M.

My Sis-in-Law had her daughter's 1st Birthday Party here and recommended me to have my Daughter's first birthday party here and I was so glad I did! Adam was amazing to work with. He was very accommodating and made it easy to keep in contact with. The venue is such a beautiful space that you really don't need decorations. Look at all the beautiful photos posted! 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!

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!!

What a night!

See all

It is a beautiful venue. Despite all of their earlier confirmations, the venue later declined my booking and claimed the date was unavailable, even though they had repeatedly assured me it was open. When I asked about alternative dates, they said they'd get back to me and never followed up. This forced me to completely rearrange my event on short notice. On top of that, the way I was treated in person felt noticeably different from how they spoke to or interacted with other clients. This made me feel unwelcome and singled out, which no customer should ever experience. Overall, the lack of communication, inconsistency, and unprofessional behavior made this a very disappointing experience. I genuinely hope they take this feedback seriously and improve how they treat prospective clients and handle bookings.

The appeal of this place is not offset by the negatives…read more It's really marketed as more of an exclusive experience. Kind of like a speakeasy. The service is a one out of five for sure. We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it

Came here to check out the art gallery and library grounds after work and was glad that they close…read moreon the later side. You really do feel the opulence as you drive through the mirador entrance up this long driveway to get to the library. Free parking but it does get packed since many people also park here to access the hiking trails next to the library. This is a beautiful library and many people do come here to study as I noticed most tables were filled. However, there is a loud buzzing sound from the lights but I guess it becomes background white noise if you are used to it. Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Brand, their family and how the library was are on the library walls so you can learn more about how it all started. The art gallery this time around has an exhibit from Thinkspace, featuring artwork of over 70 artists, on now until March 29, 2025. I really enjoyed the art pieces and took photos of the ones that really impressed me. The grounds features Brand Park, the Japanese tea house (closes early like 3pm), Doctor's House, which is a historical house, and a couple of hiking trails. Overall, a cool place to check out and just 15 minutes away north from downtown Glendale if you need to grab a bite to eat.

It sat vacant for a few years and briefly reopened as a performing arts space in 2013 but was forced to shut down. After being declared a historic monument, it underwent a complete renovation by new owners in 2015. The building changed hands again in 2023 and functions as an event center and a shared common workspace. This three-story venue has rooms upstairs. Downstairs is the main room with lofty ceilings, large windows, wood floors, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a stage for a DJ or live bands. Downstairs is a speakeasy style bar and the backyard is also a nice spot for an outdoor reception. I've driven by this place numerous times thinking it was just a church. I recently saw that there was a Holiday Market Place being held here so I stopped in to do some shopping. There was a man on the front lawn making pupusas and people sitting at tables enjoying them. Inside is quite spacious and there were several vendors selling their merchandise. The tables were nicely spaced apart, so it was easy to browse. This realty is a nice spot for an event or to use as a shared workspace. *Street parking only.

CRATES. they barely had any garbage disposals for us to clean. main thing was the workers under the company look lazy and rude. if we didn't clean, they would keep the deposit. I don't think a reception of that size would be overlooked by the host and simply wasn't disclosed that significant detail. for the price of a different venue with all services for cleanup, seems like it's better to go somewhere else. plus, no parking and it's only street. interesting space but pass.

I am writing to formally address ongoing management issues at your venue involving Gor and Vahan…read more Their conduct today, and on previous occasions, has been unprofessional, disrespectful, and damaging to vendor relations. Timeline of today's incident: I arrived at 10:30 AM to begin setup for a wedding. I was never instructed to arrive after 11:00 AM. Despite kitchen staff being inside, I was refused entry and made to wait outside with all client florals. After setup, Gor approached me and asked when I would return to "clean up and retrieve the flowers." I politely explained, as I have before, that all florals are purchased by the client. They are not rentals. They are not recollected. The client may keep, gift, or dispose of them as they wish. Gor insisted it was my responsibility to remove the flowers. I clarified that we only retrieve our rental items: vases, candles, stands, and supplies owned by Farabelas Touch. I was told to return at 12:30 AM for pickup of rentals. My staff arrived at 12:00 AM to find the doors locked and the event already ended. We received no notice of the early closure. When I texted to inform them my staff was there, I was told that because we do not collect the flowers, we would not be allowed to retrieve our rental property, and to "come back on Wednesday." Direct quote received from your manager: "When u pick up flowers like every single florist everything will be perfect." This statement implies vendors are being pressured intentionally. Please be advised that under California law, once florals are sold and delivered, they are the client's property. The venue's contract is with the client, not with our company, regarding floral disposal. We are not your client. You may not bully or pressure vendors to remove property that does not belong to us. Gor and Vahan's behavior reflects poorly on your venue. They have harassed vendors, shown a lack of respect, and created unnecessary conflict. This impacts not only our company, but also the experience of your paying clients. I am requesting that ownership address this matter seriously. We expect: Clear communication on load-in/load-out times and access. Respect for our company policy that we do not recollect sold florals. Timely access to retrieve our rental property without games or retaliation. Professional conduct from all management toward vendors. We value our clients and want every event at your venue to run smoothly. That requires management that treats vendors as partners, not targets. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Sincerely, Farabelas Touch Floral Events INC | est. 2006
