Nice venue. Smaller than what it looks in the pictures. Had an event there cleaned everything out it all in trash cans like how they wanted us to. Someone after we cleaned took the balloons out and popped them from the trash confetti inside of the balloons was on the ground. So I did not get my deposit back. But when we left there was no balloons popped even the one there reviewing how we cleaned said everything was great. The morning I get pictures of stuff that was not how we left it. If already signed off that everything was cleaned why would I not get deposit back. But fine want to make extra money. So I would only recommend if you do not have any decorations there.

There's ample space for a big party. I helped plan a big function of 140 people. It was a good deal for an 8 hour rental. The downhill was the bathroom situation. Both of them eventually got flooded and guests had to go through the restaurant next door to use the bathrooms. There was also a bat in the women's bathroom of the event center. I would book here again for convenience if they bathrooms were confidently functioning.

Wonderful upgrades. I hadn't been there in a while. The catering from the owner of La Tapia Tia was very good.

We have used this center for four large family parties over the last few years. In October we had our latest party, an anniversary celebration for approximately 120 people.There was ample room to set up a photo booth in the foyer and a dj in the large dining room next to the dance floor. The bar and buffet area are nicely arranged to accommodate a nice flow of people between the dining tables. Party reservation and arrangements were done via the La Tapatia Restaurant connected next door. Lisa, the coordinator, was easy to work with and made sure all our needs were met. The food was delicious and the service staff was excellent. We would highly recommend this site and definitely plan to use it for future family events. Thank you for making our party such a big success. Laura and Harry

The Martinez Event center is a wonderful place. Last evening our High School class celebrated our 45th year reunion. Every single person on the Martinez Event Center team earns high marks. Beginning with Lisa the event coordinator, the professional, polite and patient staff for the evening, to the talented Chef Bob. We chose the Elegant Buffet and everything looked as good as it tasted. The venue was lovely and many of our guests complemented the committee on the selection. On behalf of the Alhambra High School Class of '68 reunion committee, thank you very much. You helped to make our event truly special. DB

The Event Center is cozy and clean. I attended an elementary school dinner and auction. The location does not have a parking lot, but there is sufficient street parking near by. The interior was clean and seemed modern enough. If I was looking for an indoor location to hold a single room event I would consider. I have no idea what the cost is.

I really can not say enough about this place. The Martinez Event Center provided our office PPC (party planning commitee) a perfect venue for our event. The staff was incredibly patient and helpful. I showed up pretty early to drop off decorations. Not only did they open the door for me, they asked if I needed help. They loaned me an extension cord when one of my displays came up short. We selected the buffet style menu. They started with cheesy quesadillas, crunchy taquitos, fresh guacamole, bean dip, cheese and various salsas. When the main course was served, I found myself lost in a plate of tasty rice, beans, enchiladas and killer chicken tacos. The tacos were so delicious that I tried to barter for another one, with an extra enchilada I grabbed. After dinner, I walked around and asked some of the tables how the food was. I got a lot of smiles and thumbs up. It took us awhile to configure the wireless microphone, so as to avoid a ton of feedback. I got it to where I could stand in one area and get my voice out clearly enough, so that the guests could hear me. I would recommend your own set-up, if this is something that you are particular about. The wired microphone may have worked better, but I didn't want to be tied down to the podium. They let us borrow four of their folding tables for our casino theme. We provided the tablecloths and made sure they were well protected. They also allowed us to bring in our own dessert. The bartenders were working hard all through the night. They did their best to keep the lines manageable. They only take cash, so warn your guests if you plan a party here. The room is beautiful and it easily accommodated our group of approx. 100. We were very pleased with our decision to have our party at the Martinez Event Center. We will definitely be back, another time - another theme!

I have been a part of this community for twenty years and I must say that I was very impressed with this place. It is the perfect size for a social gathering that gives the feeling of an intimate space. The decor is wonderful and the atmosphere is welcoming. Our church celebrated our Pastor and Wife's 20th anniversary at this place and we were very impressed. The food was not only well prepared, and seasoned to perfection, the presentation was "mouth watering". The service was impeccable. Martinez is known for it's "hometown" feel, but Martinez Event Center has brought an upscaled "downtown" elegance that has breathed new life on Main street. Bravo and thank you for a welcomed change of pace...

This is a very good idea on the part of who ever thought of this building space being used in the quaint downtown Martinez. I went to a Chamber Event here last night. Even though I was there maybe 6 minutes. I just wasn't in the "Mixer" mood last night. The food was a pretty large spread and I was surprised this was a free event. There was also a bar but I wasn't sure if it was open or not and I didn't have any cash on me and I didn't want to drink because I was going to work out after the event. Who ever did the designing and remodel did a very nice job and I could see a wedding reception or a quinceanera or a big birthday party being held here. There is also a balcony that over looks Main St. in Martinez. That is a really good idea and fun for the guests. This is a very good addition to Martinez.
