From the very beginning, Maria was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She made the entire process feel easy and effortless--which is a dream when you're planning a wedding. On the big day, their attention to detail truly blew us away. They made sure to set aside a plate of everything that was served and even brought appetizers from our cocktail hour to our suite so we didn't miss a thing. They served us first at the reception and delivered sweets from the dessert table directly to us--such thoughtful, personal touches that meant so much to us! And the food? Absolutely amazing. Even our pickiest guests were raving about how delicious everything was! We had multiple people asking for the caterer's info because they were THAT good. We also booked our bartender through Gatherings N' Stuff, and from what our guests told us, he was a total hit! We will absolutely be recommending Gatherings N' Stuff to everyone we know and will definitely be using them again for all future events. Thank you, Maria and team, for helping make our day so unforgettable!

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.

Starting sending messages the first week of February wanting to know when we can get together to start planning food, color, flowers etc. Crickets. After the 3rd or 4th messages I called twice and finally someone texted me back saying Rebecca was not available her brother had passed away. Ok I said my condolences and I would be in contact in a couple weeks. I get another text saying they are doing renovations and they are fighting with the city and until they are done the city won't issue permits. So are you going to be done in time for my party I ask? She proceeds to tell me they won't know until April! My party is in May, when we're you going to let people know is my next question. She then says I was going to tell people who have party's in May at the end of February. My head is spinning because I'm thinking I have a place for a party, I have food, I have a dj, I have flowers, I have a photo booth, I have a desert table now I have nothing. It's now 3 months before the party and the week after mother's day. That's why I booked a year in advance. She then tells me she has graciously refunded everyone's money who asked for it. We'll yeah you think. You want to fight with the city and now I'm left to try to find another place for my daughter's 18th Birthday party. Just very bad bad business!

IF YOU NEED A SIGN WHETHER YOU SHOULD BOOK THIS VENUE -- LET THIS BE YOUR SIGN- DO NOT BOOK IT!…read more Please think twice before booking this venue. Based on our experience, we feel completely taken advantage of. Josue and his team handled our event very poorly and we left extremely disappointed. We had an event yesterday for approximately 230 guests and these were some of the major issues we experienced: 1. Tables/seating were changed without notice. The day before the event, we went to the venue and saw two tables that had 14 seats each. We planned our seating chart based on the setup they showed us. When we arrived on the day of the event, those tables only had 10 seats each, with no prior notice. We were told the owners no longer allowed 14-seat tables. As a result, 8 of our guests had nowhere to sit and those seats were not properly accommodated at other tables. 2. They ran out of food despite our confirmed guest count. During the event, Josue told us they had served 230 plates and were out of food. We had approximately 15 confirmed guests who did not show up, plus the 8 guests who were affected by the seating issue. So how did they run out of food? We also brought pizzas specifically for the kids. The numbers simply did not make sense to us. 3. We were asked to pay for additional food in front of our guests. This was one of the most embarrassing parts of the entire experience. We were told, "We ran out of food, but the chef is here and he brought extra food, but you have to pay him." We made our payment to Josue's husband (why would we have to pay him?) If additional food was needed, there should have been a professional and discreet way to handle that--not approach us about additional payment in front of our guests. 4. "Valet parking included" was misleading. We were told valet parking was included, but we were never clearly informed that it was limited to a very small parking area. Once those spots were full, guests were expected to park their own cars. This should have been clearly disclosed beforehand. 5. Only one bartender. For an event of approximately 230 people, having only one bartender resulted in very long lines and unnecessary delays at the bar. 6. The staff was rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, several staff members were rude when guests asked for assistance. There was also a woman who Josue said had been sent by the owners, and from the moment we arrived, her attitude toward us was extremely rude and unwelcoming. 7. We were charged additional money for the TVs. Our contract included four TVs to display photos during the event. Later, we were told that we needed to pay an additional fee to use them and there was no guarantee that they would work.This was not what we understood from the contract, and any additional charges should have been clearly disclosed before the event. We spent a significant amount of money to celebrate an important occasion with our family and friends. Instead of being able to enjoy the day, we spent a large portion of the event dealing with problems that should never have happened. PLEASE, PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BOOKING THIS VENUE. I am sharing our experience so other families can ask the right questions and know exactly what they are paying for before signing a contract. We expected professionalism, transparency, and proper service. Unfortunately, that is not what we experienced.
