The…read morevenue is well maintained , spacious, clean, and decorated in a way that felt both elegant and welcoming. The staff were attentive, professional, making sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the event. From the food service to the set up everything was organized and well managed that really elevated the celebration. The parking was a bit challenging since there was only a small parking lot across the street but plenty of street parking. Overall this hall made the perfect setting to celebrate such a special occasion. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning a baby shower, wedding or family celebration. ,

Memories is where I started dancing, almost six years ago now, on Labor Day of my sophomore year of…read morecollege. I stuck here for four years before I tried any other serious venues, and I still definitely have some nostalgic memories here. Back in the day, when I first started coming here, this place was really hopping. I remember most nights you could barely fit on the dance floor because it was so full, but you could also barely fit anywhere else because there were just as many people on the sides during any given song. I made a lot of friends there, some of whom are still good friends of mine today, and I learned a lot of my foundational swing dancing skills here. After about four years, I added a new place to my weekly excursions: Atomic Ballroom down in Irvine. Around the same time, Memories started dropping off, falling to as few as maybe a dozen people the whole night over the summer of '14, as opposed to the 100+ who used to show up. To this day, I'm not sure what caused that, but it eventually caused me to leave and look for other places to dance. In recent months, it has picked back up again. It still costs only $5 for admission (with water included, as opposed to when it was $3 but an extra dollar for water), and that's a big plus. They've also brought in some live musicians, which spices things up. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't been and are looking for places to dance. Personally, I didn't feel connected anymore when I went back recently, and would rather stay more invested in the other places I dance now, which is why I can only give it 4 stars.

I booked this venue for my mother's 70th birthday celebration. I cannot say enough good things…read more John was easy to work with, and always responded to my calls. The staff was friendly and the bartender was awesome. The process of booking and making payments was easy. Considering how expensive venues can be, this was perfect and very affordable. The venue on the first floor is quaint with such a beautiful old vintage feel. The room already looks "dressed up" so your decor can be minimal. The set-up was perfect for 100 guest, mariachi, and a DJ.

You hear of horror stories from event planners, and venues, and it's true that a-hundred things can go wrong, but in our case; everything went well, and according to plan. It went smoothly because of a few individuals and we would like to recognize them starting with Ari whom we met with to plan everything, and Ryan who made it happen the day of, along with another gentleman whom I can't recall his name (apologies).

I was sending inspos of how i wanted my venue to look and they went above and beyond. Not only did they exceed my expectations but the food was amazing . I had the servers serve food for an hour but I had many guests that came late and the servers still served food after hours . When it was time to sing happy birthday they dimmed the lights and made sure my daughter had her special moment. I also had a last minute candy table and they were so accommodating and decorated my candy table as well . I would definitely recommend this salon they are very professional and on top of their staff! You won't regret doing business with them !! They are amazing with everything they do down to the decor / bar / and food service!

Jose R-you did not call to fix the issue, you called to get us to remove the reviews and still try…read moreto blame the owner Yes, let's review the security cameras. Let's look at what time the venue actually opened, because YOU were the ones who opened late. Let's count every single plate that left the kitchen and determine whether YOU actually served 230 plates before 6:30 p.m. Let's also review the way YOUR waitresses treated us and our guests. Let's look at the facts. All of this happened at YOUR venue. We have never denied working with a party planner. In fact, we mentioned Josue several times in our review. However, regardless of who we worked with during the planning process, the problems we experienced occurred at YOUR establishment. As the business owner, I would have expected you to take some accountability and, at the very least, offer an apology for what happened at your venue. Instead, the responsibility continues to be shifted elsewhere. YOUR venue is the one receiving the negative reviews and developing a bad reputation because of these experiences. Perhaps it is time to reevaluate who you allow to represent your business, rather than continuing to blame everyone else for what went wrong. I also encourage people to do their own research before booking this venue or making a decision. Public court records are available for people to review. One publicly stated set of allegations describes claims involving breach of written contract, fraud, civil conspiracy, conversion, and constructive trust related to event-planning services and alleged financial losses after a venue was reportedly not provided as promised. These are allegations, not proof of wrongdoing, but I believe people deserve the opportunity to review public records and make informed decisions before trusting a business with one of the most important celebrations of their lives. Our beloved cousins quinceañera was supposed to be a beautiful, unforgettable memory for our family. Unfortunately, the experience we had at Saleh's Palace was filled with stress, disappointment, and problems that should never have occurred on such an important day. As a customer, I believe we deserved better. And as a business owner, I believe you should be willing to acknowledge the concerns of your customers instead of simply shifting the blame. Jose R. You called to get us to remove the review not to solve the issue.

I cant even begin to tell you how happy we were with the Ballroom. My wife and I were married in…read moreDecember and had our reception at the Montebello Ballroom and it was everything she could have asked for. This is truly and 1 stop place. They can provide EVERYTHING but the flowers for you. From the very first time we met with John we were impressed. John was very honest and professional with us and seemed to take a genuine interest in our planning. I guarantee you that if he tells you how something is going to be, that's how its going to be. You will read other reviews and see some complaints but, if you read your contract and abide by it, you will not have a single complaint. The entire staff was friendly and ready assist with anything they could. The kitchen staff, bar staff, and security staff were 100% on point. By the way, you definitely want their bar staff. The drinks were really good and you really can't beat the value. We got a drink package of 100 drinks for $500 and it was more than worth it. Decorating was a breeze since they set up all your tables with the table cloths in the colors of your choice and he does have plenty of colors for you to chose from. All we had to do was have our centerpieces placed on the tables and we were ready to go. There is a lot to cover and I can really go on and on but I think that the Ballroom and John speak for themselves and, i can tell you that a friend of ours was truly impressed and has booked their wedding reception there for the summer of 2021 based on how our wedding went.

The venue…read moreitself was set up exactly as promised, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and hardworking, and the DJ did an excellent job keeping our guests on the dance floor all night. We received many compliments from our guests about the venue and the overall experience. Unfortunately, our experience with the owner was very different. While he fulfilled everything outlined in our contract, his interactions during setup made the process much more stressful than it needed to be. Our set up and rehearsal felt uncomfortable after being spoken to sharply, including being reprimanded for leaning on a table. When I politely asked if we could add one additional table (at a cost, if at all possible)), I was also met with a raised voice. It was a simple question. I wasn't demanding or accusatory, but he became extremely defensive. Throughout setup, it felt as though we were being closely monitored rather than supported. To be fair, the venue honored every part of our agreement, and I appreciate that. However, hospitality is about more than fulfilling a contract. On such an important day, I hoped for a little flexibility, warmth, and kindness. Because of that experience, I personally would have a hard time recommending the venue, despite the beautiful facility and wonderful staff.

We had about 100 people for the celebration and we decorated the place and set up a photo drop by the bathroom. Our package had dinner and we brought our own cake. If people wanted alcohol it was on their own. The food was good, it was simple and tasty. The interior has lots of charm, it has warm woodbeam ceilings. This place used to be a bank and was built in the 1920s. I believe it can accommodate close to 200 people. I would say 150 is a pretty sweet number. Since it's an older building it does not have an elevator. However they do have those seats that gets you up and downstairs from those 90s era. We brought our own DJ ans decor, unlike places which only allow you to choose their own. Small Bathroom upstairs and a regular men's and women's downstairs. There's a bar in the back with top shelve selections. Food came out quickly and the night I do want to give props to Art and the team here. He made sure everything went smooth for us at the retirement party. From start to finish. He even made sure we had a parking spot since we were the MC of the night. So if you are looking for a place to celebrate, don't hesitate to look here as a one of your choices.
