My husband and I were little lost at the beginning of our wedding planning. We did not have a venue nor know where to start. Fortunately, with a referral from a friend to call Vicky from Queen Bridals, it was a life saving phone call. After getting off the phone with her, we knew she was the one! It was very smooth and easy working with Vicky. She listens, supports and add suggestions when it comes to any ideas we got for our wedding. It is so much better when we have a professional like Vicky to help. She sure knows what she's doing. Despite the limited time we had, Vicky and was able to come through and made it into an extravagant wedding. It was convenient that Queen Bridals is a one stop shop from A to Z. Anything that you need for your wedding, Vicky from Queen Bridals got it! Queen Bridals takes care of flowers, limo, food/catering, photography, videography, venue decors, open bars, wedding gowns, flowers, cake, even little detail things as wedding candles and name prints for tea ceremony. Since Queens Bridals is a one stop shop, it saved us a lot of time. We didn't have to search around nor travel to different locations for our wedding needs. Our wedding turned out the way we've envisioned, thank you to Vicky. It was the perfect Winter Wonderland Dream Wedding. Very classic and elegant. It was exactly what we wanted and more. Our friends and family compliments and still talk about it this day. If you want a smooth planning for your wedding, have a helpful coordinator that listens, and make your wedding dream come true, contact Vicky from Queen Bridals. We highly recommend her! read more

Nothing on their website or tickets say that they are anti environment and only allow plastic, drink cups and no outside food, even for diabetics and people on special diets. The staff is rude and tells you to take any other items back to your vehicle, but if you don't have a vehicle, you cannot come in. The food inside is not edible by people with special diets. Putting lives at risk both directly and indirectly via blocking reusable items is a sick, disturbing policy. read more

NO STAR should be given to this place at all. I was in the wedding party for Vi N. and Loanie (the hall owner) made it impossible at times to do anything. She has no compassion to who was renting her place. And all she wanted & saw was dollar signs. Wanted to charge us from how much electricity we used to the chair that she already had at the hall. I was so disgusted of how she treated the bride and groom, the wedding party, the other vendors who were involved. If you are smart, you would not rent this place for anything. If you do, don't pay over $4000 as I am hearing she's charging others $7000 for a cafeteria style place. read more

I had my nephew wedding here this past Saturday. This restaurant was atrociously bad. I'm a person with pretty low standards, but this was far worse. First at all, let talk about the soup. - I never tasted any soup that bad. Its tasteless and it gross tasting. -The "Peking duck" that they served worst than the roast duck that you buy from any Chinese grocery stores. -A little lobster was over cook with a little bit meat left. -Steamed glutinous rice wrapping with lotus leaf. This is the worst one. It is also tasteless and uncooked. - Service: These little students completely doesn't know how to serve. We ask them for spoon they gave us chopstick. And they never come back when we ask for a dirty bowl replacement. The decorations is nice and classy but the foods and service are horrible. My recommendation: DO NOT CHOOSE THIS RESTAURANT FOR YOUR WEDDING. read more

I attended a wedding at this place. The decorations blew my mind! It was classy, elegant and well put together. The decorations were outstanding and was not what I expect it would be, but even better. The venue was roomy and did not feel over crowded . The service was not bad at all. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and kind. They were fast , well alert, and efficient. Not to mention the food they brought out was very satisfying. They served lobster, fried rice, salmon, steak and much more. Surprisingly, I had a great experience with this place. The venue looked incredible, the service was great, and the food was delicious and it definitely did not disappoint me. read more

I recently just had my wedding here and I gotta say this is the place to do it if you want a big spacious Hall to accommodate all of your guests. .

If you are looking for a spacious venue, book it here and you won't be disappointed. Remember to also book a good decor to really bring the place to life. I had Queen's Bridal do decorations for my wedding and it went out perfectly. 5 stars for Unify Event Center!!! read more

Hello Yelpers! I had my wedding here this past Saturday and the hall owner "Loanie" made it the most stressful experience possible. She gave no respect for it being our "special day", and she did everything possible to make it difficult for us. Some key points: 1. When we first went to view the hall, she showed us an area where we could use as a dressing room, and to store our personal belongings. On the day of the wedding, when we attempted to put our clothes in there, she decided to turn it into a shrine of some sort, and did not allow us in that area any more. We ended up having to get ready in the bathroom, and my videographer had to do his best not to shoot the urinals in the back, even tho it could not be avoided. All of our personal belongings had to be kept in the bathroom, and one of my dresses ended up being vandalized since it is a shared bathroom. 2. When we signed the contract, she stated there were 50 round tables, 500 chairs, 8 long tables, and 1 small round cake table for us to use. When it came to that day we were setting up, she allowed us to use only 400 chairs, 40 round tables, 2 long tables, and the cake table. When we asked for the rest, she stated she would charge us $20 per additional table. We had to run to a different supply store to rent additional tables for $9/each to save $. Keep mind this was all the MORNING OF THE WEDDING! 3. She stated we were allowed to use everything in the hall. And she had Thule hanging from the ceiling with lights that she did not allow us to remove. She also had stage lights that were included in the package. When we went to view the hall 2 weeks before the wedding reception date, we noticed the stage lights were not plugged in. When we asked her about it, she stated she would charge us $200 to plug in the stage lights. We opted to go with a private lighting company, and when we brought them in for an estimate, the owner said she would read the PG & E meter herself the moment we get there to set up, and then read the meter again the minute we leave, and would charge us for the electricity use (since we were not using her lights, she wanted to make her $ back somewhere). The Thule that she did not allow us to remove, with Christmas lights strung on it, she charged us $150 to turn on those lights. 4. The main reason we chose this hall was because #1, you could bring in your own catereres. #2, you could bring in your own alcohol and bartenders. This was clearly stated in the contract. 2 weeks before the wedding, she stated all alcohol had to be purchased by her, and we had to have a police officer on duty that she would hire at $85/hour. Keep in mind we signed the contract 1.5 years before the event, and all this comes out 2 weeks before. 5. Throughout the whole event, she would dress up as a guest and lurk through our reception. We found her behind the bar a few times taking 1/2 filled Remy bottles and hiding them under the bar. We also found her in the bathroom, looking at our belongings that had to be stored there. My dress that was vandalized was found on the floor in the corner. Who did it, we do not know. Yet my mom caught her in there on 2 different occassions, just looking at our stuff. 6. We tried to set up a few chairs in the back area so our smoking guests would have somewhere to sit. However, she came out and stated we rented the hall itself, and not the outside. Yet she was teaching a yoga class in the hall all the way up until 5pm. Our ceremony started at 6pm. So we were not able to set up decorations in 1/3 of the hall that she was using for her yoga class. 7. When we signed the contract, it stated the hall was $4,500 with cleaning fees included. We put down a deposit of $1,000 and had to pay the balance of $3,500 2 weeks before the event. When we went in to pay the deposit, she stated the $1,000 was just for cleaning fees, and we still owed her $4,500. So future brides, event planners, my fellow yelpers, please beware. This lady made it such a horrible experience for us. And she held full control and power since we were already there that day with 430 of our guests. She knew it was too late for us to change venues. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS VENUE!! She added stress to a day that needed no additional stress. She paid no respect to any of our guests, any of our vendors. She goes back on her word. If you DO decide to go with her, make sure you have every single thing in writing, down to "electricity included". read more

We were referred to Unify Event Center by a friend. We were hesitated about this place after reading the negative reviews. But gladly, we were opened minded to discover out this hidden gem. This venue is under new management by Queen Bridals so maybe our experience was completely different. Vicky was so helpful, patience, and attentive to our wedding. She and her team went beyond what we had booked to provide us a wedding everyone raved so much about. We felt very pleased to know that our guests including our parents had a really great time at the wedding that they even asked to extended to midnight and Vicky was flexible to extended with last minute notice. It was an easy process and so convenience for us to have everything offered in a package which included with 8 course family meals, chiavari chairs, table linen and centerpieces. It was a GREAT DEAL for what we were getting!! What we like a lot about this venue is that it is so spacious holding up to 800 guests but having only 390 guests we were still able to have the whole venue to our self with a décor that still made it cozy and our guests had a lots of fun mingling at the cocktail area. Over all, we can't said enough how glad we have found Unify Event Center to host our wedding. The transformation came through on the wedding day left us in awe. The food was tasty. The whole experience for our wedding was so smooth that it seems almost effortless. Thank you to Vicky and the whole team!! read more

Here for the Common Kings concert. Grew up in San Jose and never been here until now . Small but does the job. Kind if hidden behind Walmart

This event center is horrible, dirty, dark, and expensive compare to other halls in San Jose. If you book this place for your wedding you HAVE to use their services, provided by Queen bridal who will handle your event in a very unorganized way. Also, their catering Heaven's kitchen is very bad. They messed up my friend's wedding soup and gave refund of only $15 per table. Stay away from it. read more
