Beautiful floral tree they have placed in the front of the venue, along with one of my mother's floral arrangements.

There are so many wonderful things I can say about this venue. Let's start with the amazing service and professionalism that Natalia provided from start to finish! When I called and/or texted Natalia, she responded right away. She and the entire team were just hands on and extremely helpful. The facility was so clean , the 5 restrooms, bar area and full kitchen were ready to use. Renting the tables, chairs and linens directly from them was stress free and so convenient. We held my Mothers repass here and it was the perfect space to gather with my family and friends. Once the reception was over and all my guest had left the venue we did clean up. However, Natalia told us that wasn't necessary to do because their staff would come in to put everything back in order for their next event. And, let me tell you she did just that. I had a few items that I had to retrieve the following morning and upon my arrival the staff was already there and they had it literally refreshed and SPOTLESS!!! I would highly suggest and recommend everyone to host any of their special events here. Allow them do what they do best, which is ensuring you and your guests have a GOOD TIME !!! Thank you again Natalia and Team at THE GOOD TIME VENUE!!!

I got really lucky with this venue. I had called 3 other event sites and the dates I wanted weren't available, but I'm so happy it didn't work out because I was able to land this place. They had recently renovated so the white walls were clean and the restrooms were immaculate. Coordinating with Natalia was a breeze; she's very easy to work with. We communicated via email and everything was settled without any problems at all. I had my baby shower here and all my guests loved this venue. The only thing people have to be mindful of is parking since there isn't a parking lot available. If I hadn't planned this so last minute I think we could've added a lot more decorations to this venue. There is so much potential! 10/10 recommend.

I wanted an indoor venue for my sons birthday since his birthday is in the summer & the good time venue was perfect! The price is comparable to other venues nearby and Natalia was very easy to work with! I was able to customize my sons birthday exactly the way I wanted to and all of my guest enjoyed the space. They also have a kitchen available for use and they set up tables and chairs accordingly to what you need. I was worried about the limited parking but my guests had no issues finding parking on the weekend. There's front, side and back parking as well as public parking lots. There were also a good amount of restrooms here which is great so you don't have all your guests waiting around to use the restroom.

Such an amazing venue! My family recently celebrated a graduation here. It was a wonderful experience, we had a blast! The entire staff are extremely accommodating and supportive, and can't thank them enough for all their hard work. We had everything we needed for our party to run nice smoothly! The venue itself is beautiful and spacious- from the brand new fully-equipped kitchen and bar area to the gorgeous tiled bathrooms (there are 5, which was amazing so no one had to wait), the lighting (provided a great ambiance), and hardwood floors. We also loved the surrounding neighborhood! The San Gabriel Mission District is absolutely adorable! We will DEFINITELY be hosting more events here:)

Such an adorable venue in a great location. Was extremely spacious and clean. Hosted my sisters baby shower here and everything went smoothly and all of our guest complimented the space and decor which was provided by Wife of the Party. I highly recommend this space! Thank you to everyone at The Good Time Venue for making this a memorable celebration for my family!

This venue was beautiful. We had our baby girl's first birthday party there and everyone loved the place. We were able to have tables on one side and bounce house and ball pit on the other side. It was perfect!

Silvia O.

Highly recommend this lovely chic venue!! Fully equipped with anything you can imagine to host a event or celebration. Natalia made the viewing and reservation process so seamless and was always available for any questions or concerns. The venue is like a blank canvas that you can use to make your aesthetic visions come to life. We booked for my sister's 18th birthday celebration. All of our family and friends loved it! It was nothing less of a GOOD TIME

The dance floor and backdrop setup we made for our event.

Had a blast throwing Gaby's Masters degree Graduation party at the good time venue. The kitchen was perfect for the catering company we had. The bar was spacious and perfect as well. We fit a dance floor and had 75 guests comfortably. 100% recommend you have your next event here!

This review is way overdue. Life got ahead of me. I'm sorry, Emil and Lisa!…read more I had my daughter's quinceañera at El Palacio Hall on March 14, 2026. We hosted 175 guests. When we first started looking for venues, we had a few specific things in mind, and flexibility was one of them. On our first visit in March 2025, we met with Emil, the venue owner. He was very welcoming, friendly, family-oriented, and easy to work with. He answered all of my questions and was very transparent from day one. He never pressured us or made us feel obligated to choose everything the hall offered. All selections and packages were based on our budget and what we wanted to spend. When I walked into the venue, I was immediately attracted to the décor, high ceilings, and bar area. Everything was very clean, the white draping made the space feel even more open, and the floor plan was perfect. I knew I wouldn't have to do much. I did hire an outside vendor to help with the themed décor, but almost everything else, including the plating, was purchased through the venue. As the quinceañera date approached, we met the venue manager, Lisa. She became our go-to person for anything we needed. She was very attentive and made sure the event was a success and that everything looked beautiful on the big day. The day of the event, everything went very smoothly. We had a venue host who worked hand in hand with Lisa. I forgot his name, but he was very kind and helpful. I had many family members say, "This place is beautiful! I never knew this was here." No one had any issues with parking. The restrooms were well maintained throughout the event, the food was ready on time (we had the fajitas, beans, and rice which was very tasty), the serving staff was very efficient, and the air conditioning was blasting and felt great (the temperature that day was around 78-80 degrees). Every area of the venue was operating seamlessly. All-in-all I am very grateful to all the staff at El Palacio Hall because they helped make my daughter's quinceañera a success. I would definitely have another event there again.

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.

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.

We absolutely Love Almansor Court! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary with Sunday brunch,…read moreand it was our first visit. The golf course and lake views create a lovely atmosphere, with birds adding to the scenery. Plenty of beautiful spots offer great photo opportunities. The self-serve brunch offers an impressive variety, from crab legs and breaded tilapia to waffles, made-to-order omelets, and an abundance of desserts. We were also given a bottle of Brut Champagne and orange juice to make our own mimosas. Although a few large parties made the room lively and a bit loud, there was something for every culture represented. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. And the cost was reasonable. We each paid about $50 per person for all-you-can-eat portions.

If you are considering booking Almansor Court for your wedding, I strongly recommend asking for…read moreevery fee, restriction, and policy in writing before signing. We just had our wedding there, and unfortunately the experience was extremely frustrating. The biggest issue was how many restrictions and extra charges came up later in the planning process. Many details were not made clear until our final meetings, when it was already too late to realistically change venues. They are very restrictive with outside food and beverages. We wanted to add a boba bar, ramen bar, and other personalized late-night options, but outside food was not allowed. Even our candy table had restrictions. If you want a highly customized wedding with outside vendors, this may not be the right venue. We also asked early on for a few reserved parking spaces near the venue for security reasons because Asian weddings often involve monetary gifts. We were initially told this could be accommodated, but later found out it would cost $25 PER SPACE. We booked the Lakeview Room and later learned that the standard tables are 72-inch rounds seating 12 people each. We had been told the room could accommodate around 300 guests, but it was not made clear that this meant 12 guests per table. They were also unwilling to bring in 60-inch tables. With our Gold package, the standard linens did not even half way, so we were encouraged to upgrade to Platinum for another $10 per person plus fees. There were many other additional charges. Babies or guests without meals would not automatically receive the same decorated chair, and extra chairs were quoted at $3.75 each plus fees. A projector was approximately $200 and the screen another $65. On top of everything, there was a 22% service charge, approximately 11% tax, and a 2% environmental fee. Decorating was also very difficult. For an afternoon gazebo ceremony, we were told we could not begin decorating until around 4 PM. Reception setup was also limited. We were told we might be able to start earlier if there was no lunch event, but an event was booked about two weeks before our wedding. These restrictions make DIY decorating extremely difficult unless you have a large team who can set everything up very quickly. The hosted bar was another concern. We started with a $1,000 tab and were told about an hour into the reception that the entire amount had already been used, even though most of our guests were not heavy drinkers. We added another $500, which was also apparently used. We were not provided with a detailed breakdown showing how many drinks were served. Guests also received inconsistent information about whether soda was complimentary or required payment. Unfortunately, we also received complaints about the service. Several guests told us some waitstaff were rude or yelled at them. Some guests said their plates were cleared while they were temporarily away from the table, including one guest who went to the photo booth and came back to find half of their prime rib gone. There was also a problem with meal distribution. Several guests did not receive their meals because of a mix-up with meal tickets. Staff insisted all meals had been served, but we had three last-minute cancellations, so there should actually have been extra meals available. To give credit where it is due, the food itself was good. Guests said the prime rib was tender, the salmon was not dry, and the chicken portions were generous. The food was probably the best part of our experience. Late-night snacks were also restrictive. For items priced per person, we were told we had to order for our entire guest count rather than a smaller amount for the guests who would actually stay late. Because of this, we chose only flat-rate options. The bridal room was also extremely hot because the AC did not work well. We also learned that after their one-week deadline, prepaid items could not be removed or transferred to something else. Because of the heat, we wanted to move everything indoors, but we could not receive a credit for umbrellas we no longer needed. Overall, our biggest disappointment was the lack of flexibility and the number of extra costs and restrictions that appeared throughout the planning process. Individually, some charges may seem small, but they add up very quickly. If you want a simple event and are comfortable following Almansor Court's packages and rules, it may work for you. The grounds are attractive and the food was good. But if you want a highly personalized wedding with outside food vendors, DIY décor, flexible quantities, and the ability to adjust plans as needed, I would recommend looking elsewhere. My advice: before signing, ask for a complete list in writing of all fees, setup restrictions, table sizes, outside food policies, chair charges, bar pricing, AV rentals, late-night food minimums, and change deadlines.

Ideal Workspace with a Community Feel - Highly Recommend!…read more I recently toured Onboard Coworking, and it's every bit as impressive as it sounds! For just $30 a day, this space offers not only a vibrant, open-plan workspace but also dedicated quiet areas for those times you really need to focus. The shared kitchen features free coffee (a big plus for me!) and ample refrigerator space, which adds to the convenience. What sets Onboard apart are the rentable conference rooms and private office spaces, perfect for meeting clients or conducting private sessions--all at rates that are incredibly fair given the quality. The space is extensive, with plenty of parking, which is a huge bonus. Although they were fully booked and I couldn't get a spot immediately, the staff, particularly Stephanie, was super helpful and added me to the waiting list without any fuss. She was friendly and answered all my questions thoroughly during the tour. For anyone growing out of their home office and looking for a professional yet inviting place to work, Onboard Coworking is a gem. I'm excited about the prospect of working here soon!

The front desk receptionists were nice and helpful. It's been a couple of years since my son had therapy here but what left a bad taste in my mouth about this place is when I was waiting for therapy to start with my autistic child there was filming taking place and the person filming was pretty rude about asking us to keep quiet. Honestly, we weren't even loud. Don't rent spaces out to people who are going to work with special needs kids. Also, you're not filming an expensive movie, else you wouldn't be filming in a common area get over yourselves.

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.
