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.

It felt a little tight, but there was still plenty of space in the foyer area and in the back. At the event I attended they had a bounce house and a taco vendor in the back. There is a full sized kitchen available for use so you can store or prepare food and drinks. The grass lawn out front was also a nice place for kids to run around. Super family friendly space! It was nice they even had a changing table in the women's bathroom. I would love to attend another event here in the future!

They have a full kitchen, full bar, ice machine, restrooms, and enough tables, chairs, space, and rental equipment to hold up to 150 people, and are flexible with customizing the experience to any kind of event and theme. We had a cuties themed baby shower with 130 people, and hired multiple vendors (Vietnamese food, boba tea bar, desserts, a bartender, and balloon artists). It was an amazing and fun experience for all of our friends and family members. Would definitely want to go here again for other events in the future, such as birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc.

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.

Whimsy is an open & bright space with plenty of parking, shops & restaurants nearby. You can host any and every event from birthday parties, to small/medium size weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, engagements, baptisms, holiday parties, seminars, workshops, and more.. It is somewhat small to medium venue that holds about 60 to 90 people. You certainly don't feel cramped up. Too be honest with you, I hadn't heard of this place until 3 years ago when one of my friends asked me to host her son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. I was more than honored to have the privilege to do that. With that being said, yesterday I was invited to celebrate one of my former coworker's daughter's 15th birthday party. It was a fun and great party. They have many different amenities from tables/chairs, kitchenette with mini fridge, microwaves, credenza & wooden backdrop. Just to name a few. You can bring your own food/beverages and also they will help you clean up. Prices vary depending on the occasion/event. They range between $150-$300 an hour. Weekends can be just a little more expensive. They brought a taco truck and were able to cater and set up in the outdoor space. Everyone had a blast both times that I was there. If you need a good venue to do any of the following, no need to look elsewhere. Whimsy has you covered from A to Z!! Thank you all..

Hours Of Operation: They welcome visitors to the garden on many Friday and Saturday evenings and during the day on Sundays. You can check out their schedule of events and admission cost on their website: https://japanesegardenpasadena.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/japanesegardenpasadena/event.jsp?;=&event=1612& Admission Cost: Mostly, $15 on Friday and Saturday. Sunday, it's $12. For other events, they post the cost on their website. Location/Parking: Located across from the Arlington Gardens (Free). It's kinda hidden, but just use the gps on your phone to guide you. Parking can be found along Arlington. For special events, they encourage you to park at Westridge School (Orange Grove and W. State St.) and walk up to Storrier Stearns. Ambiance/Decor: The Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden is a beautiful and charming retreat with a quiet and tranquil elegance. The place is small which contains many of the much admired design features found in the most lavish of Japanese-style gardens of its era. As Kendall Brown states in his book, California Japanese-style Gardens, "this is the genius of Kinzuchi Fujii: this was once a flat area of two tennis courts; now it is a masterwork. 1) Classic Niko-an Teahouse, the garden landscape offers a variety of other beautiful details. 2) Numerous gathering points, seating areas & vistas 3) Four original bridges plus the original cedar log Japanese Waiting Bench 4) Two large interconnected, irregularly shaped koi ponds 5) The sounds of two waterfalls, one cascading down a 25-foot hill 6) An artful dry riverbed for rain overflow winding through the garden 7) Cooling shade everywhere from spreading sycamores & old oaks 8) Many tons of boulders & stones 9) Granite statuary & stone lanterns Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to re-center myself.

The staff who helped us throughout the entire night was funny, friendly, professional and so accommodating! Although they joked with us throughout the evening, they never broke their work ethics and gave us the most excellent service! Normally we decorate the venue with our own things but Rococo Room did almost everything for us! The venue itself is already beautiful and fit our theme really well, but they made sure we got special table clothes, center pieces, candles, etc. They had their own DJ and was so good too! Now the food. I'm a vegetarian, and some of my co-workers are vegan. You'd think this would be tough...NOPE! Not for Rococo Room! Most people had an amazing meal (which I can't vouch for but I heard from EVERYONE that it was so good!) And they gave us one amazing vegan dish! I almost thought it was too good to be vegan. The dessert was some chocolate thing (also heard from everyone that it was amazing) but we got a bowl of berries covered in sauce. Let me just tell you that although it sounds iffy, it was probably the most delicious bowl of berries I've had! Not a single berry was tart. Not one! I asked my other vegan co-workers if they got any tart ones, none Did! They also agreed that was an extremely delicious bowl of berries! I can't say enough about this place. Thank you, Matthew for making this event such a memorable one! I cannot wait to come back for a non-event meal!

I'm very thankful that I decided to move away from working at home and start work at FoundrSpace. Because I really need home to be home and a place to work to feel more like work than a room in my home. I don't think that people have figured that out yet, but I know they will soon and I hope they find this review and find their new work office at FoundrSpace. Anyway, I plan to be here for quite some time, and I look forward to new neighbors that are focused on their businesses and ventures. I just wanted to let others know that this is the place for me and I know it's going to be a great place for more entrepreneurs, start ups and businesses too. Seriously if anybody has any questions, feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to answer.
