Imperial Event Venue - Banquet Hall, Pasadena CA

Attended a Quinceñera here this past weekend. I was blown away at how beautiful the space is (especially since the exterior is pretty average). The lobby area is beautiful and welcoming. The bar is also here. There's a great private lounge/dressing area. And the ballroom.whoa. Breathtaking and opulent. Would be a great location for any special event like a wedding, monumental birthday or anniversary party, or any other large special event.

Beautiful venue! It's definitely a top contender to host our event next year!

I am a wedding photographer that serves the Los Angeles area. I photographed a large wedding reception here and this venue was spectacular. The food was delicious, especially the rice and beef plates. Salads were fresh as well. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There is a large lobby room where cocktail hour takes place and guests spend most of their time there before entering the venue itself. The bride and groom had their own dedicated table, as usual, in the middle back of the venue. There was a lot of room for guests and their assigned tables. The tables were various sizes and there was plenty of room to walk between everything. The dance floor is massive and easy to move around. There was enough room for guests to dance in other areas that were not specifically the dance floor.

This is nice venue for wedding, retirements, birthday celebrations and baby showers. I came for a wedding and the staff was very helpful. The wedding was beautiful decorated. The ceiling are magnificent with beautiful chandeliers, and light fixtures. This hall could use a few updates, but overall I think it will work for a small or midsize event. The patio is nice but could use some new furniture. Parking is valet. The ladies room is large enough for the bridal party to put on their makeup and get dressed without bumping into one another and clean. Really nice size dance floor and the lighting in the place is great.

Nice place, very good service, very friendly in everything and where everything is big and spacious.

I did not book this venue, just reviewing the venue based on the tour. The main event space was beautiful and has great lighting. The reasons we didn’t book this space for a wedding was mostly because there just isn’t enough space for all the activities of a wedding. Cocktail hour would have to be in the lobby. Bridal suite could use some updates and does not have a private bathroom. The staff we talked with were very nice. The other big negative is they only have like 30 parking spots, so you have to do valet parking which just adds unnecessary complication.
