They provide decorations, chairs and tables. You have the OPTION to HIRE help for parking, trash pick up and floral arrangements, etc. You pay for insurance and a deposit! Nancy and her husband went above and beyond to help create a magical wedding day for us. I was worried about set up, but with help from my bridal party and family, we had most things set up the night before! We chose to have Nancy do our floral arrangements and they were beautiful! She helped us coordinated with the DJ and made sure things ran smoothly! This place is ran by dedicated owners, which is shown through their quality of professionalism and beautifully manicured venue. I recommend this place to any bride. We rented a house nearby and got ready before the wedding, as the changing rooms at the venue are smaller, but it worked out perfectly. Please note, THIS IS AN OUTDOOR WEDDING VENUE! You know that when you pay for it. It can rain, so be wise when CHOOSING a wedding date.

I think I have allotted Nancy enough time to respond and give me my refund back but she refuses to…read morebe a professional and respond. I was supposed to get married here at the Iris gardens during the time of the Caldor fire in which the Iris gardens were in a pre-evacuation zone. We paid our deposit in full and what we owed after. I know my mistake, but to think a local business like this would screw you is farfetched in my opinion. Nancy informed us that we absolutely have to go with Murray's Countryside insurance services and that would be the only insurance they accepted. We had already rescheduled the wedding from the year prior due to Covid and a lot of our immediate relatives not being able to make it from the lockdowns. A few months before the wedding we called Murray's countryside insurance with no answer. We left messages with Murray's Countryside insurance, no response back. My husband emailed Murray's countryside insurance, no response back. I messaged Nancy to ask her what do we do now that your only insurance company that we have to have for this wedding isn't getting back to us. She ignored me. Anyways, fast forward to the week of the wedding. The Caldor fire had started and we finally hear back from the insurance that they refuse to cover our event due to the fire. Nancy ignored my messages and I was then forced to find a whole different venue for my 150 guest wedding in three days. My father drove by the Iris Gardens the following day and saw the parking lot full and that there was a wedding occurring 08/22/21. So that Wedding somehow was able to get event insurance, but not ours. I messaged Nancy to receive my refund but no response. I even wrote Nancy a letter, to which I was ignored once again. It just so happens I found out that Nancy has a friend who works at Murray's Countryside Insurance and informed that friend that we had already wasted one date that was booked due to Covid and because of that to deny us our events insurance. Nancy had already planned to not expect us for our fully paid for Wedding event because she was holding a grudge about that date during Covid Lockdowns. I would NEVER recommend this venue for your event. It would be a major financial and logistical risk to book here.

The perfect venue for a dream Quinceañera!…read more We chose The Chalet Event Center in Rocklin, CA, for our daughter's Quinceañera, and it was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning, featuring a beautiful garden and a courtyard that served as the ideal backdrop for outdoor photos. The food was delightful, and the service was exceptional. The team members constantly checked on our guests--refilling water, clearing plates, and anticipating every need. Our bartender was also incredibly friendly and took fantastic care of everyone's cocktails. A special thank you to Roberto, our event manager, who regularly checked in with us to coordinate dinner timing, the toasts, and the cake cutting. He made sure our needs were heard, handled, and completely taken care of. Additionally, the owner, Bosue, was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process. I truly could not have found a better place to make my daughter's dream Quinceañera a reality. We are so thankful to the entire team at The Chalet Event Center for making our party a massive success

I am vegan and hadn't heard anything about what they were serving. They have an open kitchen, which I love, so I walked right over and asked. They were very friendly and accommodating! They told me they would make something for me, and when it came time to plate up, they would have it waiting. WOW! It was delicious! I am a new mom and don't get out much. That was the best meal I have had in a long time!!!! I still think about it. I'm sad it's not your typical restaurant where I could order it again. I just want to say thanks again to the chef, and the rest of the staff for a great night! Thanks!

I am writing this review in terms of being guest. My boyfriend's cousin's had wedding reserved at…read morethis event center. Plenty of parking in front and it's shared with a shopping plaza so you can walk across the street to any store. There are tall steps to go up and down. Walking in we noticed they had a security guard. There is a small little room before you get into the main room and it's good for a people to write in the guest book and a message to the couple. They also had a mirror to take selfie in. They had a big poster sign of the couple. They also had their table assignment in the front too. Walking in was impressive. Bright lights, white floors, and mirror designs on the walls. Immediately to your left is a backdrop with a window area. They used that space for the Photo Booth and props. There was another room on the right but I think that was only for staff or another back room. Then a little bit to the right there is a stair case to the upstairs. The upstairs had a balcony area where you can see the whole venue. They had their DJ upstairs and funny enough the AC blew the most cold air there. There was also a door but I didn't go in that so I'm assuming it's like a closet space or place to get ready. Downstairs, they had so many white tables. There was a total of 20 tables. I'm assuming whatever package you purchase the event center will decorate the tables, chairs, plates and center pieces, the provider food service and the bar. They had a medium size dance floor with a long white walk way from the back to the front of the stage. Front back of the dance floor they had a little elevated area for the wedding couple to sit at. My boyfriend's cousins had their name and the theme of the wedding for their backdrop of their table. I'm sure it can also be a little stage as well. Behind the man elevated stage. There are back door that lead out to a backyard area that has corn hole, some artificial turf, and a little play area for kids. I didn't get to go outside cuz of the heat. On the right side of the venue was a little kitchen area for the dishes and plates. The wedding had their snack bar in the corner of the room. We had our own drinks in big coolers. There was a small bar area with a bartender but I believe they opted in buying their own drinks and the bartender served it. They also just mixed the cocktails for the guests. Good thing was that was open all night. Then for food, they brought their own food and had long tables of them for serving the whole party. I believe the event center provided the tables and the chafing trays. They also had a bathroom in the back of the room. There was a 4-5 stalls, a long wide mirror and nice sinks. Unfortunately, their wedding was on one of the hottest days of summer (over 100 degrees). The AC was very weak and it got really hot inside very quickly. People were using plates as fans and some smart people brought their own fans. It was getting so hot that the wedding cake was melting. The best AC was blowing upstairs near the DJ. Overall, I think the venue was a decent spot to have a wedding. I hope they definitely invest in a stronger AC unit lol. But in terms of the look, I thought it was pretty.

Sydney, was not our initial coordinator however, upon her being assigned to us she immediately communicated with us and made sure to put us at ease. She was extremely communicative, organized, detail oriented, energetic, and patient. Having never been married we often had questions! She was always more than willing to answer our questions and offer us suggestions. She ensured that our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. We can't in words express the amount of gratitude we have for Sydney because without her, we feel like our wedding would not have been the same amazing experience that it was. We chose the Vineyard package and upgraded to have light blue linens to match our color scheme. We also chose to have an open bar for all of our guests. We loved having these options to customize our day. They also allowed for us to bring in all of our decorations on the day before our wedding which made for a much easier day of the wedding. The getting ready rooms for the bridal party were exactly what we needed. There was plenty of room for the 5 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids + glam squad of 4 to help us all get ready. MVI provided us with glassware, waters, and a mini fridge that we were able to use for those pre ceremony mimosas. The food, drinks, and dessert were all delicious. Our communication with the included vendors were all fantastic. Ambiance floral for flowers and Devine Bakery for our cake all made sure to bring our visions to life. Overall My husband and I are extremely satisfied with MVI and would recommend this venue and Sydney to any couples in search of an all inclusive but customizable wedding venue.

Sue and her team at Sierra Banquet Center are fantastic!…read more We had my dads retirement celebration at Sierra Banquet Center just after the new year and it was such a fun evening! I had a few ideas of how I wanted the night to go and Sue helped to make that possible at her gorgeous log cabin venue. I had quite a few things to set up and Sue allowed us in early to take care of the setup so we weren't rushing and stressed right before the event. The holiday decor was transformed from Christmas trees to classy and elegant whites and golds for my event colors/theme. Everything was beautiful and the tri-tip buffet was delicious!! I would love to have another event at the Sierra Banquet Center! Thank you Sue (and your team) for all that you did to make my dads celebration so memorable!

Do NOT get married here. The venue is very pretty, but organizationally, they are a complete mess…read more We were trapped into it with lofty promises and a deposit of half the whole cost. There was no communication between staff, poor communication between the management and us as clients, employees were unsure of their own roles and our provided "day of coordinator" had zero idea how to coordinate a wedding and I as the bride had to keep the day moving and tell her what to do next. (Even though we came up with a typical schedule together.) The management didn't know the size of the tables available at this location, and at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, we were told that we had to redo our whole seating chart because the tables were actually smaller than we knew. The food was brought up all the way from Sacramento in a U-haul truck, which was visible to the ceremony site during the ceremony. Half of our guests got sick afterwards. The food menus they gave to us to select catering from did not reflect what was actually available either. The chef took our selections down with a sticky note, and they lost that sticky note. They had to call us to confirm our choices. Choices we had to change AGAIN because the menu changed again. I even had to fight to have a decorated cake, and even then it ended up being extremely minimalist by design. More than once our wedding detail consultation dates had to be changed in favor of weddings that were much larger than our smaller event. They basically left our event planning to the very last minute. 2 months in advance. We spent $500 on liquor and sodas for people who didn't care for our pre-fabricated signature drinks (old fashioned's and French 75's) but the venue provided bartender never even touched those supplies. Instead, he opened up all of our red wine bottles at once, giving no thought for guest demand. We had to throw out half of the untouched wine bottles at the end of the night. Our guests had ZERO idea that there were more drink options. Please save yourselves and get married somewhere else. We are haunted by this experience.
