When you walk in they have these mirrors on each side that you can take pics in or look at your outfit! They have seating at the bar and lounge area. I love the flower decor that's in the ceiling!! It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

It's so great having other bar options instead of driving to Los Angeles to drink nowadays. This is…read moresuch an amazing spot for girls night out and for people who just want to sit by the bar to order drinks all night. Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

A year later we came back for my daughter 1st birthday and now we are planning our third event and we can't wait! The Venus is spacious for the normal 80 people we host.

We've also recommended the space we're family friends have utilized it for bridal showers, birthdays and baby showers!

We came here for a small reptile show, around 10 vendors and there were some bird vendors there too. Decent amount of parking and I loved the decor that they had in here, along with the tidbits of history behind the glass, including historical and cultural artifacts from the past, the chandeliers, the art on the walls, and much more. Gives more flavor to the venue than just a regular gym or auditorium. AC wasn't the strongest, but it's probably best for the cold blooded critters that were there. The birds were in the hallway entrance in, so the sound reverberated quite a bit. Not bad for smaller events from an attendee's point of view.

We all sat at long tables with chairs that weren't the most comfortable, but it was doable. The temperature on the room was comfortable. The ability to hear the speakers wasn't an issue. There was a large clean restroom with plenty of mirrors. In the hallway, there were some glass cases which show cased some items from previous Rose Parades. Plenty of free parking for this Lodge.

The clubhouse side has outdoors table seating just past the finish line. Plenty of bars and food venues throughout for those so like to walk around and visit the paddock and walking ring.

That made it fun because we could be together, watch the races on the TV screens in the box and even order food and have it delivered to the box. The food was okay, nothing super special. My husband ordered a cheeseburger and said it was dry, overcooked and not much dressing. I had a buffalo chicken wrap, it okay, and my daughter got the children's meal chicken tenders - which was a very generous portion. Best of all was the french fries - they were delicious. Prices were high of course. One example is one pitcher of water was $7!! That's plain old tap water and we couldn't get any refills either. Crazy! We also enjoyed walking around the grounds and looking at the horses. They had some beautiful Clydesdales you could pet. There are a few retired race horses you could see and take pictures of / in front of but they bite so you couldn't get too close. The grounds also have lovely flowers all around, beautiful horse statues and a lovely fountain so it is very picturesque.

She delivered with flying stars :) She told us not to worry and she got this:) Thank you Audrey from Naughy By Vapor P.S. True Professional and she's a very nice and friendly individual with a great attitude who knows what she is doing! kudos to Santa Anita Banquets!

Let me start off by saying I have never used an event coordinator before and after the experience I…read morehad with Audrey from Santa Anita Banquets, I NEVER will again! Audrey was so unprofessional and so unorganized when it came to our wedding. She promised us one thing when we first met with her, but ended up with something completely different. We were given a list of things that were included in the wedding package that we chose; tables, centerpieces, chairs/covers, food, etc. Everything sounded good, so we signed the contract that day. Stupid move on our part! One thing after another started changing, first it was the "bar" could not serve wine in wine glasses so we had to provide the plastic cups for that. The so called "bar" was a table with crates, which were lined with trash bags to hold the beer and wine. There were only 2 centerpieces to choose from, we ended up choosing the 3 cylinder vases with an "orchid" in each, turns out the orchids were fake, as in plastic flowers that she probably bought from the 99cent store! I was beyond upset because I did not find this out until the day before our wedding. By then it was too late to order real flower centerpieces. Never once were we informed that our centerpieces were going to be fake flowers! This looked so tacky! I sent Audrey a text message letting her know that I was upset and she replied back with a VERY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL message. We were told they were not going to be able to use the chair covers for our chairs because the chairs at our venue were too wide and would not fit. I went ahead and rented covers from an outside vendor and paid and additional $250 for them only to find out the same day of our event that the covers Audrey had (which were part of our package deal) DID fit the chairs we were using, she never even tried them on. Our outdoor Ceremony was scheduled to start at 3:00pm and chairs were to be set up for our guests. Our guests were arriving and there was nowhere for them to sit. Audrey finally started bring chairs out and setting them up about 3:20pm after being told over and over. We paid an additional ceremony fee which we were told included a system for our ceremony music, the chairs, and rehearsal fee. We ended up downloading our own music and bringing our own speaker just incase because of all the other "surprises" we had along the way. Good thing we did because there was no music system for our ceremony. More than half of our guests had to stand for the entire ceremony because only a few chairs were brought out. Our tables were not set up the way we had requested them to be. Our candy buffet table was set up on a silver table cover, our colors were ivory and burgandy. Audrey and her staff started removing table and chair covers an hour and a half before the reception ended. There were not enough plates to serve our guests, some of them were served on styrofoam plates, again TACKY! To sum it all up this was the WORST experience I have ever had in my life! I will NEVER use Santa Anita Banquets ever again! To anyone who is wanting to use them in the future, please think twice.

It seems old and dated, but with a bit of love and cosmetics (like how his planners designed the whole place) then it's a whole different place! Plenty of room for apps, main course and the bar was strategically placed in the back. There's also a big dance floor. Venue can easily fit 200 - 250 people comfortably. Free lot parking at the back (it's a little tricky to find but not too bad - slow down when you get on Morlan Place, should be easy from there!) They should signs or something, because a lot of people missed it. Other than the parking snag, we had a great time at this place! If it were close to home, I'd consider using it as well!

My wife found the most amazing property in California. Probably the closest thing to a castle in all of America. Even more of a castle than Hearst's castle. Both of our families came and stayed for the weekend. I devised a mystery puzzle game which was accommodated and accentuated by the venue because of all the rooms and places to hide. The Wifi is great, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is the best place to hang out and be with family. The only thing that is tricky are the roads and the volume levels. There is no cell service in some areas while driving but you just need to be aware of this and come prepared with a pre printed map just like in 1999. Its very easy to take a wrong turn and up on the Rim of the World. Full disclaimer for weddings: Don't do it here. Its not because the venue is bad, its because of the neighbors and the location. Parking is a nightmare if you have any more than 7 cars. There is no designated lot and the garages are off limits due to storage. So if you park on the street on Sycamore, you are good as long as all your tires are on asphalt. The sound. Keep in mind this house is in the middle of a quiet forest. you can hear sound travel very easily so when windows are open and there is a party, everyone around can hear it for miles. Also, the house is huge, and maze-like. If you have ever played the first Resident Evil and gotten lost a few times you know what I mean. All in all this place is amazing, but do not get your expectations too high for a wedding or an event. Its a huge property in the middle of a forest, of course its hard to get to, of course there aren't enough bathrooms on the ground floor. Of course there are going to be minor inconveniences. IT'S A CASTLE. IN THE FOREST. The people who built it went bankrupt. We should all be so lucky to get to enjoy this wonderful property! Also, I left my laptop there and the property owners/managers sent it back to me the very next day!! If thats not professional and courteous service I don't know what is. All I know is I had a great time and I'd do it again. -Stan
