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.

Whimsy Pasadena has been around since 2019. This charming, beautiful, wonderful place welcomes…read moreeveryone with kind hospitality, love and genuine smiles. 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..

My first review of 2019! This is for the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses parade float…read moredecorating volunteers! The float is located at the side of the War Memorial building and is the "Oldest self-built float in the Rose Parade." This organization has been building floats since 1893 and have won numerous awards, including the National Trophy in 2016, the Founder's Trophy in 2013 and the Fantasy Trophy in 2012. Volunteers begin the construction phase of the float in June of each year and decorating begins in October. You must be at least 13 years old to participate and they do give school and community service hours! LA East CM, Katie B. told me she did this while she was in school! You additionally need to sign a medical release form, wear closed-toe shoes and old clothes that may get glue, water, seeds, bark and, if you're lucky, flowers on them! You are also working outdoors in the shade and you should dress in warm layers. Nadine C. flew in from Hawaii just to fulfill this "bucket-list" item. We worked for 5 hours in cold, windy weather. Since this was right after Christmas, we did not get to work on flowers, but we filled thousands of water vials and capped them to be flower-ready! We also had the unusual task of ironing eucalyptus BARK! This is just as difficult as it sounds but smelled nice. The bark was used for the guitar portion of the float. This was an interesting way to spend time volunteering on a beautiful project. The folks there were very nice and appreciative. There was a little gift booth where you could purchase pins and shirts and coffee mugs and other Rose Parade memorabilia. Nadine went crazy at the booth... Warning, this is definitely not a luxury situation and there are only porta-potties and some hot coffee and maybe doughnuts. Volunteers that day did not receive a tshirt (but Nadine went to another site in Irwindale and received a tshirt for volunteering!) I would do it again! Yelp Challenge 2019: 1/100

Parking is very limited and there is no sign or you can't tell if parking is full until you pull in. Then, you would have to reverse the whole way out, it is that tight! Street parking (residential or the big street) is the only other option. Restroom is small and the hall is small but fit for a small and intimate wedding. My friend had everything catered. Overall, it is a very unique and historical place, that has many areas that are good for some photo ops.

Built in 1913, The York Manor was home to a Methodist congregation before transitioning into the…read moreYork Blvd Church of Christ in 1963. It sat vacant for a few years and briefly reopened as a performing arts space in 2013 but was forced to shut down. After being declared a historic monument, it underwent a complete renovation by new owners in 2015. The building changed hands again in 2023 and functions as an event center and a shared common workspace. This three-story venue has rooms upstairs. Downstairs is the main room with lofty ceilings, large windows, wood floors, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a stage for a DJ or live bands. Downstairs is a speakeasy style bar and the backyard is also a nice spot for an outdoor reception. I've driven by this place numerous times thinking it was just a church. I recently saw that there was a Holiday Market Place being held here so I stopped in to do some shopping. There was a man on the front lawn making pupusas and people sitting at tables enjoying them. Inside is quite spacious and there were several vendors selling their merchandise. The tables were nicely spaced apart, so it was easy to browse. This realty is a nice spot for an event or to use as a shared workspace. *Street parking only.

edit: this place threatened the host to withhold deposit if I didn't remove my bad review on yelp…read more this is highly illegal under Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA). speak to me directly instead of being a bully. your actions were very unlawful and punitive. i can imagine what this place does to alter their reviews. terrible experience. original: no wonder this place is closing down. from what I gathered on both sides as an attendee, the host was not told that 'everything' needs to be tidied up and put away from even the simplest of cleanup like dishes wiped, garbage to be put away, and then dishes to be put back to crates.. CRATES. they barely had any garbage disposals for us to clean. main thing was the workers under the company look lazy and rude. if we didn't clean, they would keep the deposit. I don't think a reception of that size would be overlooked by the host and simply wasn't disclosed that significant detail. for the price of a different venue with all services for cleanup, seems like it's better to go somewhere else. plus, no parking and it's only street. interesting space but pass.
