Venues & Event Spaces near Claremont, CA

““The Grove House is perhaps Pitzer’s most visible example that innovation and daring
are rewarded even in the hardest of economic and political times. Moving the Grove House has taught us that institutions and individuals are alike. In William Faulkner’s
phrase, ‘in order to endure and prevail, we must take risks.’””

“It is a nice community center with a lot of services and recreational classes. I have been here several times, when I used to live in Claremont. They have good instructors and recreational facilities. Of course, their computers are a bit outdated. They should fix that though. Still, it is conveniently located near Lewis Park, and on the way towards Foothill Boulevard. Definitely, if anyone is in the area, I would recommend to stop by.”

“I'm so glad I stopped by and will definitely be back many more times. I had an incredible time with my 3 year old! Anthony was so sweet and informative; it was incredible to see everything up close and read history on the planes. Every member of the staff was so helpful and really took their time with us. Thank you so much for hosting us and for such a memorable time!”

“Cal Aero is an ideal venue for any event, wedding, birthday, or corporate. The staff is attentive and friendly, The location is rather unique, and should the sunset be spectacular, you'll get an expansive view. I have attended a few events here and always look forward to spending time here.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of both attending and hosting events at Glendora Country Club, and every experience has been excellent. Their team is always organized, professional, and friendly, which makes every event run smoothly from start to finish. The facilities and grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and the food is consistently amazing (Chef Philip Bradley is top notch). We truly appreciate the level of service and hospitality they provide and highly recommend them for any special event or gathering.”

“What a great golf course. Awesome history too having been built in 1921 and is in immaculate shape. If I Iived in the area I would join in a heartbeat. Staff is amazing and if you call them from the course they'll drive food/drinks out you.”

“I attended a presentation at dA Center for the Arts, in Pomona, Ca On the venue, was the Rainbow Garden ballroom in Pomona. The presenter was David Reyes and Ernie Banales.They displayed many of local young Chicano musicians and their bands having played at the Rainbow Garden along with Fat DominosBand, Little Richard and famous Mexican artists ie Javier Solis, Perez Pardo and Maria Victoria his vocalist. This Thursday at 12noon, another famous local group will be presented”

“Went to buy a Tulsi (Holy Basil) plant. Staff was very helpful and showed me around various parts of the nursery. They have a huge and quality collection of plants and would definitely visit/buy from them again.”

“Just was there this past weekend for one of my Sister's wedding! I love this venue, we had about 450 guests and it was more than enough room, and the staff is on point and very accommodating ?????”

“Everything at La Villa Bella was truly amazing. The service the staff, the communication I would highly recommend. I can’t say enough good things truly made our wedding experience amazing.”

“I recently had an event at Sweeten Hall, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made everyone feel comfortable right away. They were very helpful throughout the entire event and made sure everything ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend Sweeten Hall to anyone looking for a friendly and well-organized place to host an event.”

“I was genuinely surprised that a golf course café could deliver food at this level. We ordered the steak nachos, and they were seriously impressive — generously loaded with tender, well-seasoned beef, creamy sauce, fresh pico de gallo, avocado slices, and pickled onions. The acidity from the pico and onions nicely balanced the richness of the cheese and chips, so it never felt too heavy. Plenty of meat in every bite.

The setting overlooking the green is relaxed and scenic, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Happy hour makes it an even better deal with a couple dollars off.

Definitely worth a stop, even if you’re not golfing.”

“Recently, I got to experience Five Star Catering who catered a professional training engineering course that took place over four days at TEC Equipment in Fontana, CA. Five Star catered our class's breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks and refreshements. The food was fantastic! High quality food that was served buffet style. We had a variety of breakfasts each of the four days that was accompanied by great coffee! Same for the lunches over four days. Each day we saw a different lunch and the food was fantastic! Also, there was an extra level of service we saw when compared to other caterers in other locations. While Five Star's staff was present, they would walk around the classroom and make sure people had drinks, offer top offs, and they would help clear plates when people were done eating. Really great service! Five stars all the way!”

“We recently provided our ‘40’ marquee letters for a birthday celebration at Electric Loft, and the space is absolutely gorgeous!

Located on the second story of a charming historic building, the venue is filled with stunning natural light and offers incredible views. It’s the perfect blend of historic character and a bright, spacious, modern feel.

The team at Electric Loft is phenomenal — friendly, helpful, and provided amazing customer service from start to finish. They made our setup process seamless and were a joy to work with. This is an incredible hidden gem for anyone looking for a stylish and unique event space. Highly recommended!

“Had an amazing experience with this event center. The staff is super nice and place is very clean. The owner Frank is nice to work with and very reasonable. They always had answers to our questions and our wedding guest loved the venue. Thank you Upland Events for an amazing night. Will definitely come back for more special occasions ??”

“Visiting this venue in person is a must; it truly surpasses any online impression! We recently celebrated our twin daughters' quinceañera and ceremony blessing there, hosting 160 guests comfortably with ample space for our outside vendors, who also had a great experience. From our initial tour to the event day, Paulina was exceptional—always quick to respond to our inquiries. The food was a hit, with many compliments on our choices of birria and chicken fettuccine. Thank you for making this night so memorable!”

“Came here for my nephews first bday. It was a nice spacious venue for about 120 guests. They were able to set up a stage in addition to the tables and off to the side there was a room for a buffet to be set up for the guests. There was plenty of parking and the rest rooms were clean.”

“Best Venue in Pomona! Wonderful staff! Clean! Multiple stages. Great sound system and AC! Ty to Fernando, chris and Viviane! Can't wait to come back ! - Karen”

“I went to the Ontario Convention Center to show support to the bar candidates and I was genuinely impressed. The space feels open and bright, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light just observing from the outside. It was clean and well-maintained. One thing that really stood out to me was the staff — especially the security guards in the parking area. They were all very respectful, polite, and welcoming while we dropped off/picked up passengers and lunches.”

“I was here for October Rolling for a Cure Breast Cancer Bunco fundraiser. It was beautifully decorated and everybody wore a lot of pink We had fundraising booths around the outside the entire stage and tables around it were loaded up with raffle prizes. It was great fun and I highly recommend the rolling for a cure which is every October.”

“I recently had a really long stay at this Residence Inn and I only have good works for them. Everyone in the hotel helped as much as possible to make my stay comfortable and feeling almost like I am at home. I absolutely recommend them and I will come back!”

“Probably the best value around the area, hard to beat for the prices. Great facilities, and the course is in solid conditions all around. Only gripe is that pace of pay can be rather slow sometimes. 5+ hour rounds the last few times due to being behind groups of all walkers.”

“First off, I wanted to say that this was my first time here, and I had a really nice experience. It seemed like a family-run business, and it was! Everyone and everything was great!

Let’s start with important stuff—cost, experience, and atmosphere. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm and friendly service. We had already placed our order online before we got here, and it was super easy to check in. I mentioned that the online system didn’t allow me to book multiple items. As I tried to order the indoor playground, along with laser tag, pizza and a few other items, the system didn’t let me process the order. Which lead me to just go with what we originally came for and see if we can get the rest in person. Yes, we were able to easily add on additional items such as laser tag. They have a kiosk to purchase game cards for arcade in a separate area.

Cost: I truly believe the price here was well worth it. From the helpful staff to the refreshing drinks that weren’t much more expensive than I’d find elsewhere. We paid around $13 for laser tag, but they offer weekly rates that can make your experience budget friendly. Power aide was about $3 and as I read the menu breakdown you can order a meal for about $11 which I think includes meal, side and drink. We paid $31 for a game card to play in the arcade area. This fee included a $1 purchase for a new game card. For $30 dollars you get 120 tokens plus they will give you a bonus of 30 more coins for a total of 150, which lasted us a fair amount of time. Arcade games range from 5 tokens to 12 tokens depending on prize or feature. Honestly, decent prices and I would recommend coming out to see for yourself.

The atmosphere was clean and well maintained, the air conditioner was working perfectly! Recently, I went to bullwinkles in upland (it was hot, the indoor mini golf area was ok but over priced, and so overcrowded) that’s why I truly loved how this place was opposite of that experience. Our next birthday party will definitely be booked here and if I run into any issues I know they will be happy to assist me.

Thank you for a great time!”

“Tennessee WLking Horses sponsored an all breed horse show on Sunday, May 3rd. Great grounds and facilities. Good, clean competition, everyone polite, helpful and having a good time”

“Great place to have a party and lots of space to rent out for guests. Had a baby shower and have a lot of chairs plus more space to do stuff like games and dancing and even have presentations. Room was really well kept and a lot tables to use. Parking was a little tight because the lot was really small but there is a lot of street parking available on the streets but can fill up very quickly so be mindful about where you park to see if a permit is necessary.”

“Rooms have been updated but there is still evidence of older fixtures and furniture. The shower was ok but the bathroom had a mold/mildew odor. The bed was comfortable. The fire alarm went off 4 times overnight causing a major sleep disruption. (false alarm). The staff were very friendly and accommodating.”

“We had an amazing and unforgettable wedding at the Christmas House on June 7, 2025. I have dreamed about getting married here for over 10 years after my favorite high school English teacher told me she got married here. Dreams really do come true, and I had the vintage wedding of my dreams! Carrie, Sam, Jillian, and everyone at Christmas House are now like family to us. All of our guests absolutely loved our wedding and the house, and said what a unique and cool venue it is. A lot of them said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and are still talking about it a year later. I wanted something completely different and personal compared to a country club, golf club, or hotel since I have been to so many weddings. Since we were planning from out of state, we also liked that so many things were included such as cake, DJ, etc. I loved that we had the whole place to ourselves for the whole wedding weekend and got to do the pizza party and overnight stay, as well as breakfast which was some of my favorite food of the weekend! I particularly recommend the quiche! We had some of our bridal party stay with us and they loved it. It was nice to spend some personal time with them before we jetted off to our honeymoon.

Also military wives and brides: they have a military discount! I also loved that the Christmas House team worked well with our wedding planner Nicole at Olivar events. Our photos and videos also came out so wonderfully. Orlando the photographer and videographer (sorry forgot his name) made me feel like a queen and really helped with their calm vibes since I was anxious before the ceremony. I even asked for more footage now a year later and they obliged. They are awesome!

I had a lot of stress leading up to the wedding including my original dress being ruined one month before and family drama. The whole team were literal angels in helping me navigate all of this and I'm actually really glad I wore my second dress because it was a warm June wedding and my second dress was much lighter and went better with our vintage theme! I believe everything works out for a reason in according to God's plan. I have never felt so happy and so loved as on my wedding day by my husband, family and friends, and our friends at the Christmas House.

I would truly give the Christmas House 4.8 stars and only change two things about the wedding: I will say the food was delicious, and our cake that was included from Cucamonga Cakery was pretty and delicious. However, the only negative feedback we had from guests was that the plates of food were a little small. This may be a Spaggi's (their exclusive caterer for our sit down package) issue, and I would recommend it be closer to the tasting size. For myself, I would have slowed down getting ready and taken some more amazing photos around the bridal suite, the house's stained glass windows, and stairs, and I may still go back and do it as Carrie suggested! However, I am giving myself some grace as the wedding morning was very busy.

Thank you, Christmas House for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt, and for celebrating our love with us on our very special day. It was a dream come true, and we will be back to visit soon!

Love, Ty and Dorothy”
