This is the place that allowed a person to come into a wedding reception and steal the gift box with over $80,000 in cash. This happened despite the banquet hall having private security through them to guard the place during the reception. The hall is not cooperating with the family that suffered the theft. Be very, very careful in hiring this banquet hall. read more

Had a wedding last month here at this beautiful venue. Really was great experience as my first time here. The food was really really satisfying from the appetizers to the main dish. You will get full by. Just eating the appetizers . Service was above exceptional servers always scan your table for any empty or used plates and refill your table with a new plate. Cleanliness is on point everyone was friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place for your next event. Dont look somewhere else. Thank you read more

One of my favorite venues for weddings. Beautiful ballroom with massive chandeliers and great lighting. The reception area is spacious and has a water feature. The ceilings are high and the window treatments are tastefully done. I have been coming to this ballroom ever since the day they opened their doors. They serve fresh, flavorful and delicious food. From over 20 mezzes to bbq and fish. I always enjoy my dinner here. After trying the salads and appetizers I rarely have room for the main course but it's a must to eat a piece of Armenian bbq. The service is a hit or a miss depending of the waiter or waiter that your table is assigned to. Last night our waiter was friendly, attentive and helpful. Overall a great place to host an event, they offer valet as well. read more

Way better options available in glendale. Food was horrible, management is a joke. They need to revamp this place from the ground up.

The Renaissance - Grand Ballroom is soo beautiful, elegant, and spacious. Thank you Arsen and Edgar for bringing our vision to life. Both were very helpful in every step and gave us helpful advice. They were also accommodating with some things regarding our outside food. The food was soo good!!!!! We were soo stuffed and it was only the appetizers haha. read more

Attended a weekend wedding for my cousin and truly had a memorable experience at this banquet hall. Beautifully laid out, decorative, extravagant, and a lovely staff. The overall vibes of location were wonderful, easy to find, valet is available for those not interested in hunting for parking. Their staff is well equipped to attend to all folks, very attentive, helpful and go above and beyond to bring you what you need. The grand ballroom is gorgeous and inviting, you really have a bit of your breath taken away in the moment you walk inside it. Overall, great experience, certainly amazing to see as an East Coaster visiting the West. I wish we had something like this back in Boston for all of us Armenians wanting a grand experience! read more

I went last night for a wedding reception in the grand ballroom and the place was gorgeous! Some foods were a little salty, but delicious overall! Ate my fill and then some! They provided wonderfully gold accented macarons for dessert, and they were gone instantly! Was seated in a table of twelve. They had good service, gyoza for ors d'oeuvres and was greeted with selection of coke, mimosas, or wine upon entry. The main course was beef, chicken, or pork, mediterranean style. There was yogurt on the table and rice, it was self-serve. There was an overabundance of appetizers that the table wouldn't fit more plates! For the second part of the course there, the servers came around with champagne and fillets of fish or fried fish, or both. The mushrooms were delicious, elegant arrangements, and I also loved the dolma (mediterranean stuffed grape leaves). The servers should definitely smile more! Maybe it was just our server. But they were courteous for the entirety of my stay. Also, beauuuutiful water fountains to greet you in the the lobby. Perfect for photos! Fantastic venue for a wedding. read more

Elegant! Delicious Food! Amazing service! Super impressive. Our 1st time at this location, although we have driven by 100 times before. It was great to finally visit them. Even though our event was at the small banquet hall, I was still very impressed. Absolutely beautiful! Every single appetizer and main dish was delicious. Our waiter wouldn't let us touch anything, if he was there, he would take it from our hands and serve us himself. When we asked for extra drinks, he wouldn't hesitate and would get them instantly. Truly amazing service. read more

Had an incredible first impression of this banquet hall. Despite the luxury aspect, service plays a significant role. I was greeted with kindness from the very start. They have two halls, one on the larger side and the other a bit smaller, which makes it versatile for all sized events. The interior of the hall was stunning and appeared to be newly remodeled. I must additionally mention that the food was delicious and undoubtedly fresh. The waiter that was serving us was beyond respectful and patient. He was attentive to our table, making sure if we had any further requests. Unfortunately, I forgot to get his name but because nowadays it's become rare to receive high-end service at L.A. restaurants, I was surprised that I finally found a venue that does indeed provide excellent service. Lastly, parking is super convenient due to the valet services that are provided. The men running the valet were quick, professional, and greeted with uttermost respect. Highly recommend this venue! read more

I was invited to a party here over the weekend and must say what a great place for an event. Plenty of drinks provided at the open bar: wine, champagne, mimosas, mixed cocktails, etc. As for the catering we were bombarded with food, in fact almost anything and everything was provided. From fruits and veggies to varieties of bread and meats. Plenty of candy and desserts abound as well. Most likely a 10 course meal. The rooms are huge and I even enjoyed dancing here. If you were considering an event in the area, this place should be on your list. read more

My wife and I had our wedding here in May 2013 in the Grand ballroom with 320 guest. This place is beautiful, high ceiling, crystal chandeliers, custom lighting, huge dance floor, a stage area, and their own parking (fits 450). Garo is one of the owner of this establishment and he's also is the head chef. He really puts his heart into what he does. Make sure you deal with him only. Our guest loved the food. Big portion and no one goes home hungry. Many of our guest said, " the food was non stop." Garo customized our menu to what we like and need for our guest while other similar place said they couldn't. The service we thought was hands down 5 stars, I couldn't believe it. Till this day our guest still rave about our wedding and our venue. Garo you Rock! read more

I have been here for a variety of events and have to say each time has been great. They have valet parking and while they don't tell you or have any signage the cost is $5. Better than looking for parking and having to walk while all dressed up and in heels. It is your typical armenian hall in that the have a zillion mezzes for you to get full on before the main course. The food is excellent. The waiters while not anything to write home about get the job done. The halls is beautiful and I look forward to having a reason to host a party here for myself. Hmmm 30th birthday perhaps? Who am I kidding 30 already came and went. Come here as a guest or hire them to host an event and you won't be disappointed. read more

If you ever need any place to book for events, or any parties this is the perfect place to go. Edgar is amazing and his team is always there to make sure everyone has a remarkable experience. 5 stars to Renaissance and the workers. read more

I had my wedding reception, and even my bridal shower, here last year and I couldn't have been happier. The feel of the banquet hall in general is very warm, and you are always welcomed with a smile. They have their own valet parking, which is always a plus, and the employees will always open the door for you. We were able to drop off items for our wedding reception the night before, and they took care of everything. Even when our parents went earlier to put the finishing touches, the employees of the banquet hall had already taken care of it. Highly recommended hall. The hall itself can seat around 350 people, and has a very large dance floor, which is perfect for weddings, showers, and all other occasions. I would not have had my wedding reception anywhere else but here! Great work from all the employees at Renaissance. read more

We held our wedding here on 10/10/10 and it was an excellent choice!! The reception is gorgeous, food is great, and the staff is EXTREMLY nice and helpful. All of our guests had a great time and our wedding was just perfect. Highly recommended. read more

I just got married two weeks ago and we had our reception at Renaissance. I'm so happy with their service staff and especially Edgar the manager. Planning a wedding is already in itself stressful so I really appreciated how easy going and accommodating Edgar was. I've been a guest to many weddings at Renaissance so I knew right away I wanted to have my reception there because the food is delicious, wait staff is on point and its beautiful. I was very happy with their recent change of the dance floor to white to top it off. I highly recommend Renaissance! read more

3.5 stars, but I'll round up. Attended a wedding in one of the smaller ballrooms here. The food was very salty (we ended up drinking a lot of water over the next day as a result). Personally, I don't understand the lack of a lazy susan on the table given the number of dishes. Every time I wanted to have a sip of water I had to move a number of things around. Also, there were two forks on the table, but I got a new plate at least four times, but the server would put my dirty fork back on the plate. I find that kind of gross. The space was small and not as tacky as some of the photos would suggest (I am not a fan of the neon lighting). It was very loud, though, so the sound system could use a bit of adjusting. Service seemed to be pretty good. read more

This was my dream banquet hall location for my wedding. Not only were we able to secure it with short notice, but we also got an amazing price! Thank you, Edgar! Pros: -Gorgeous, clean and fancy banquet hall (you def. feel like a princess on your wedding day). -HUGE food selection (based upon the pre-fix menu that you select. Menu selection offers Armenian, Russian and Persian dishes. So yummy! You can select the dishes from their menu as well. -Food was fresh, delicious and served family-style. We got a lot of compliments on it. Some of our guests arrived a little late, so the servers were able to heat up some of the dishes. -Valet parking or street parking is available (safe neighborhood). -Bride's room is equipped with shower/bathroom & they serve appetizers & drinks for the bridal party as well. -White glove service & exquisite timing of everything. Floor manager works with your MC to make sure food follows a timeline and so you never have to wonder when the food, cake or anything else is coming. They seriously made this event WORRY-FREE. ...Again, thank you, Edgar! -They have a lounge room available and offer packages with a musician and appetizers for the 1st hour of your party. Everything was impeccable. In fact, strangely, I really have no complaints and I used to work in a high-end restaurant in We. Ho. so I always look for perfection in these places. We really had an amazing time! read more

The restaurant is really nice, but the food really varies. There are some days when the food is absolutely amazing, and there are others when it's just ok. I usually go there for weddings and birthdays. The environment is great, nice and clean, and the servers are fast and proactive!!! I would give it a four stars because i've had days there when everything was absolutely amazing, including the music and people. Great Armenian food!! :) read more

I always get happy when I receive an event invitation and it's at Renaissance. The interior is lovely and the food/service is amazing. They have such a great selection of appetizers and salads and the main entrees are always fresh and delicious. My wedding was held here as well and Edgar was such a pleasure to work with, he made the hectic wedding process very smooth and less stressful read more

I can't say enough great things about this place!! I want to start off by saying that the manager, Edgar, made this place a definite for us. He is extremely personable and was more than willing to help make my special day happen for me at the renaissance. The hall is beyond gorgeous and service is perfection. The hall had a great cocktail hour for the guests one hour before the doors opened and there was even a violin player too!! The table appetizers alone will fill you up and it was all delish! The table was full of appetizers. No table was left unattended for more than a couple of minutes. All my guests raved about the food and the service. Edgar and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. read more

I attended a wedding here and it was a beautiful banquet. The service was wonderful. Not only did the waitress offer to pour our drinks and food, but she constantly came and asked us if anything was missing. If we did need anything else, she instantly came to get it for us. The banquet looked fairly small but I think there were just too many guests. The temperature was on par for guests; I have been to many banquet halls which were ice cold inside and it makes the guests uncomfortable. I would recommend choosing this banquet if you have over 300 guests to provide for. read more

I will update my review since management will help me to choose another date that means I will give them five star I do want to have my wedding party at Renaissance and thank you so much for your great customer service read more

My husband and I would like to express our deep appreciation for Edgar and the Renaissance team for delivering exceptional service and making our dream wedding come true. We have received random sample of reactions from our 250 guests and the responses have been overwhelmingly positive. Our guests have uniformly praised how magnificent and near iconic the Renaissance venue was, the excellent service they provided and how abundant and delicious the food was. We were especially pleased that one of our guests, an experienced chef gave solid ratings to the many appetizers and hot food items that were served. The Managment at Renaissance was flexible and very accommodating, this special attribute made it easy for us to make small changes and adjustments when warranted in insuring that both the cocktail hour and dinner reception unfolded to our liking. We owe special gratitude to Edgar, he may not be the most talkative person but he is very professional, competent and he genuinely cared about our concerns and addressed those concerns. It was Edgar who helped us put together a dream wedding. Thank you Edgar . read more

My husband and I had our wedding day at the Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach, CA, but 2 days after our wedding day, my parents threw a lovely cultural wedding ceremony and reception celebration for us at the Renaissance Banquet Hall in Glendale, CA. We LOVED the Renaissance Banquet Hall as the venue for our second wedding celebration! The banquet hall is spacious (and our ceremony and reception was in the smaller of the two ballrooms, since we had around 90 guests at our second wedding event), is perfect for cultural events, has many tables, and has a large dance floor! The banquet hall has its own catering and it was WONDERFUL! There were endless hors d'oeuvres and appetizers (seriously, at least 20 plates of delicious food at each table) and a delicious Middle Eastern lunch (ground beef, chicken, steak, and seafood kabobs with rice, stews, etc)! Service was excellent throughout! They were extremely professional at our food tasting and on the day of our cultural ceremony & reception as well! The banquet hall is classy, clean, elegant, and perfect. I also loved how all the photos came out - perfect lighting, and there's a beautiful fountain in the lobby where we posed for photos with our guests. Not every bride gets two days of wedding celebrations, but I am so fortunate to have had that and the Renaissance Banquet Hall was the perfect location for our cultural wedding ceremony and reception! Our guests all had a wonderful time, loved the food, had a great time dancing, and we absolutely loved it as well! read more

If you're searching for perfection this place is it!! If you're looking for the best service in town don't bother looking anywhere else. I held my wedding reception here this past weekend and it was perfect. The lighting, the sound, the Servers, so sweet, every request was met with a smile. The food is amazing!! Every time I turned around more food was being served through out the night. My guests loved the venue, the food, the service etc. We were able to drop off items the day before and we didn't have to lift a finger they took care of it. I cannot say enough about how satisfied I was with this place. They deserve 5 stars, if I could give more I would. read more
