The getting ready area upstairs is beautiful and very spacious as well. We had about 65 guests - the max for the venue is 120, but I think it would be pretty crowded at that number. For 65 it was perfect. We had access to the venue the day before for set-up and rehearsal which was super helpful, and we and our coordinator had a very easy time working with the groundskeeper for day-of logistics. The 3D tour on the website is very accurate and helped us a lot when planning between site visits. I definitely recommend Shakespeare Club for your small to medium size events and weddings!

We appreciated their transparency in the contracts, guides to working with other vendors (their recommended ones and others that we wanted to bring in), clear communication, and suggestions of vendors that they have worked with prior! It's very clear that they've worked many weddings prior, there were details/questions they brought up that we never even thought to think about. The venue itself from the outside is unassuming, but once you walk in, the venue is just so stunning with all of the greenery. It allowed our colorful day-of-paper, florals, lanterns, and decor to really shine through. We are obsessed with how our photos and videos came out. We loved all of the little details the venue offered, such as the getting ready room with lighting around the mirrors, ability for indoor-outdoor space, and cool airflow in late summer/early fall. We loved that we got to personalize the background projection screen as well - we ended up playing clips of places we loved in Los Angeles. Keep in mind that with this venue you'll very likely need to also hire valet as another service for guest parking, but it's all worth it! We let our guests know what to look out for day of (big red 800 sign) and made recommendations on reviewing navigation to the site prior to wedding day as well.

The greenery, the natural light, all good vibes for any occasion.

I had a legacy birthday party, 1980s nightclub-glam theme at the Woman's Club of South Pasadena in…read moreJanuary 2026. And what a venue! It is a hidden gem in a very nice neighborhood of South Pasadena. Historic property with vaulted ceilings, amazing Spanish style wrought iron chandeliers, hardwood floors, great kitchen facility, multiple rooms in the venue to utilize -- great flow. I set up 16 60" round tables seating 8 each, using both adjacent spaces of the Main Hall and the Fireside Room, and there was plenty of corridor space and they flowed nicely as one large space (just decorated them identically). The wall of gorgeous windows also adds such beauty to the venue. The DJ set up on the stage which added to the whole vibe beautifully. I had an 18'x18' dancefloor as I wanted a little more standing / walking room (standard size usually 20'x20') and people could hang out on the dancefloor until dancing started if they needed more space (although plenty around the tables and in the bar/buffet area). Just a few notes you should be aware of: a) there is no onsite parking. Street parking is limited, especially on a Saturday night when most residents in the neighborhood are home. I secured a lot with the South Pasadena school district which was just one block's walking distance and actually added to the fun and anticipation of reaching the party along with other guests (cost was $1k to the South Pasadena School District for 6 hours, plus the cost of a private attendant I hired for about $600, or $100/hour). You must buy a $1 million liability policy for the school district, which costs about $200. The venue also partners with a valet parking service, but I found them to be too pricey, and they could not guaranty they could secure a lot. But that is an option if that is what you prefer ; b) The club supplies the gorgeous venue, tables and chairs, trash cans, does the table set up for you, provides a layout plan to your liking, helps with cleanup (but you must collect your owns items of course) and you must bring all else (linens, napkins, centerpieces, decorations, caterer, DJ or Band, bartender, silverware, serving plates, cups etc. which your caterer most likely will provide). This allows you to customize the party to your liking; no wedding-type decor or preset meal packages to deal with so you get exactly what your imagination, budget and creativity allow. I decided to rent some gold Chiavari chairs with black seat cushions from a party supply vendor vs use the venue supplied ones as the Chiavaris give more elbow room and went more with my theme; (c) you must hire a bartender and professional caterer for larger parties, which makes total sense. It just makes for a better party. I supplied all alcohol (a plus because venues always price up so this saved me a lot of $$), the caterer provided the professional bartenders and all mixers. I set up the bar and buffet tables in the "Dining Room" area, electric blue up-lights and some standing cocktail tables really added to the perfect nightclub mood. Purple and fuchsia lighting went in the main hall and fireside room; (d) the hourly rental rate at the Club is also charged for time needed to set up and clean up, not just the time for the actual event. Keep that in mind when calculating your budget; (e) You must provide the Club with a $1 million liability policy (protects you too! And cost is around $200 - not paid to the Club but to the insurance co. The Club recommended a great company so you don't have to go searching for it unless you want to. I checked prices against one more company and they are definitely competitive; (f) I suggest hiring a party coordinator to keep everything flowing and allow you to enjoy the event. May Cruz, who works for the Club, is also an independent coordinator and her price is super reasonable. She did a FABULOUS JOB, and I cannot reiterate that enough -- SHE WAS SUPERB! Professional, super fun, nice, on top of everything and I just sat back and enjoyed the night following her lead to get through "the program" I so carefully designed; (g) there is an upstairs area with lounge, dressing rooms and additional bathrooms which many guests enjoyed. It has a balcony that overlooks the dance floor. I kept the dressing room to myself, my husband and my sisters who helped me with set up. It is such a pretty space, and very functional with plenty of counter/vanity space and electric outlets for hair dryers and hot rollers. Check out this venue. It is amazing and just had a huge renovation which still leaves it true to its history. My guests were all blown away! The photos are pre-party, before lights went down and all the up lighting (hired a company) could really shine and set the perfect mood. Imagine it buzzing with 130+ guests all dressed in 1980s fashion. I provided some photos. The gold curtain visible in one of the table setup pics is from the photo booth, which added so much fun!

It now houses privately…read moreowned condominiums, with its public rooms and grounds often hosting weddings, events and filming. Twice a year it is open for tours, including some of the private residences. We just enjoyed the Holiday 2025 tour. The public rooms on the ground floor are indeed grand, including an ornate staircase and cage elevator requiring an attendant. There's a ballroom also. There's a stately verandah that extends the length of the building, and peaceful gardens with a fountain. The bridge that extends from the building to Raymond Ave. used to go across Raymond to the Hotel Green. There are 7 floors with floors 2-6 housing private apartments. On the 7th floor is a rooftop patio and a privately owned penthouse. It was open for the tour--it's a large loft-like space with windows facing every direction. Several of the apartments on the lower levels were also on view; the individual owners were so kind to open their homes to strangers on these tour days. The apartments vary in size, with the larger units on the south side of the building where there are circular turrets. Even more varied were the way the owners decorated their units. The owners of most of the units were clearly interested in art and architecture. Styles seen included Asian, Mid-Century, Arts and Crafts. Some kitchens were petite, with smaller appliances. Downstairs is the headquarters for the Thomas Paine Society, an advocate in the 1770's for America's independence, considered America's first radical. For the tours, there were some light bites available, supplied by Little Lily's Kitchen catering, whose place in Altadena fell victim to the Eaton fire. There was a potato leek soup, Angel biscuits, vegan chorizo tacos and Thanksgiving-ish sliders with turkey, brie and cranberry, plus hot apple cider and cookies. Overall a lovely visit, worth repeating.

We had our wedding here back in late November and we are so happy with how everything turned out…read more The York Manor's DIY approach was perfect for us because it was extremely important to have the freedom to select every single one of our vendors and to have full control of our wedding costs to make it uniquely OURS. The space was so cool, so intimate, full of charm, and most of all, a fair price for a wedding venue in the heart of LA. The best kept secret (or secret no more??) is definitely the speakeasy downstairs...all of our guests still cannot stop talking about it! With all that said, I would say that the only thing that really worried me about this venue was the parking. It's not a surprise that this area is extremely dense, so for some of our guests, parking was challenging. The York Manor did suggest hiring a valet service and after talking to a handful of valet service vendors - the prices were just really unreasonable for what would have still been the same parking situation. But all in all, everybody eventually found parking, everything was on time and the day was PERFECT.

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.
