Venues & Event Spaces near Norwalk, CA

“I struggled about giving the place three or four stars. Because of the staff I went with four. The course itself is tiny. Longest hole is 100 yards, the shortest 50. I get the feeling that most people who come here aren’t that serious about golf or are just starting out. I’ve been playing for almost 40 years, but my daughter is just learning how to play. Back to those who play here, the vast majority have no clue about repairing their ball marks on the greens. That’s frustrating. Also, most don’t know golf etiquette, especially not considering those behind them. Also frustrating. The driving range is a double decker with a net ceiling and a 250 yard max distance. They have a goal post at that distance which is cool. They also have targets at various yardages to help practice your wedge game. Try to get a spot on the lower deck or your lofted clubs will hit the net ceiling for sure.”

“Celebrated a birthday. We had a blast! Some drinks the music was fun. Sebastian was great helping us improve our stance and how we threw the axes Everyone had fun”

“If you're looking for an enchanted garden venue, look no further than The Secret House of Ivy in Downey, Ca. You can drive by this place over and over and you'd never know what a beautiful place lies just behind the doors. Pictures absolutely do not do this place justice. The moment we walked in we fell in love. It's gorgeous. The twinkling lights and the Ivy covered walls transports you out of Downey into a little wonderland. We are beyond excited to host our daughter's quinceañera here and my husband and I definitely hope to have a vow renewal there in the future too. Karina, Luisa and Lily have been so helpful every step of the way in helping get all the ducks in a row to give our teen the perfect enchanted garden quince. I'm so glad we found this venue.”

“If you are looking for the best candy themed business in LA County make sure that you visit. Candified is located in the Belmont Shore community of Long Beach CA. They have so much your mind will be blown so be careful. They hold private parties for all. You need to come in and take in all of the varieties to choose from. See you there!”

“I love visiting this Japanese garden. It's so tranquil and serene and I get to visit my alma mater.

Be sure to make reservations. There is a parking lot just across of the garden. Parking will depend on the amount of time to choose.”

“First time at Cerritos SZ. Not as big as others I've been to, but a good balance of size and attendees. Employees are engaging, keeps everyone safe. Highly recommend. Thanks Lilly!”

“It's good to have the Stand Up Comedy Club in Bellflower, so close to my house. Comedian Jiaoying Summers was very funny. Food and drinks were pretty good too.”

“Stacy (sp?) and her team continuously go above and beyond with the level of customer service on every visit. I've even called to inquire about items and paid online to ensure they were available - when my honey went to pick the item up, they had wrapped it neatly for her as though it was a gift. The small touches like that go a long way with this consumer. Support this merchant, please - you won't be disappointed, I assure you. #Supportsmallbusiness”

“If you ever get a chance to play this course don't pass it up. Thanks

I have nothing negative at all to say about Friendly Hills Country Club. My experience has been amazing even from reaching out to inquire. TAYLOR is awesome! So sweet, kind, and helpful! I had a vision of how I was going to combine 2 birthdays into one and Taylor was very accommodating answering my million questions.

The price was reasonable and the food was spectacular! Everyone kept saying how good the chicken and veggies were. Not your typical bland chicken wedding food. So delicious!

I removed the dance floor to accommodate the children's playground and it worked perfect! I was able to use the restaurant chairs (since they look nicer than the regular chairs that are provided). They worked around my late guest (fed them even when so many were late). The staff is very nice as well! Every time I stopped by they were really nice (guy who sets up the rooms for events, waitresses, set up manager) they even offered to charge my computer in his office so that it would be fully charged and ready for when I wanted to play a slideshow on the projector.

I would DEFINITELY recommend”

“Lived in LB for years before I started coming here regularly and wish I had started that sooner! The staff is great, the audiences are WAY more behaved than at the usual big chain movie theaters and they provide a great variety of programming to satisfy a wide range of tastes in film. It's always a treat visiting the Art.”

“Everyone was great and the staff brought us drinks and food quickly. The manager gave us a bunch of photos since it was my birthday as a gesture of kindness and it was so appreciated!”

“It was a really fun experience, and we would definitely do it again. At the middle of the experience the sound and the whole video game started to cut off, and we had to remove our equipment and get out of the room to ask for help. The staff was able to help us and continue with the experience, but it did take some time to reset the game and put on the equipment again. Other than that, everything was great.”

“Hands down one of the most incredible creative studios in the country. Not just LA - in the country. The level of service, the creative ideas, the execution being unmatched, the portfolio of work with some of the biggest names and brands - second to none. I will be doing all my creative business with Hubble forever more. Best staff. Best equipment. Best ideas. Best execution.”

“I'm in love with this aquarium!! It's such a cool experience where I get to just have fun. It's really nice to just relax and chill out with friends or family. I love seeing all the different animals and I swear I learn something new every time I go!! It's usually around $50 per ticket which is pricey for me so I don't go too often but when I do I feel like it's totally worth it. I've only ever gone to the aquarium but I'm looking forward to checking out the whale watching one of these days! I feel like there's a whole bunch to look at and it tends to look really fancy to me. I highly recommend checking it out once! The employees are kind and there's a couple that seem super into showing all the cool things these animals can do which is great! I love learning from someone who is passionate about their job!”

“First time visit during 2024 Kwanzaa celebration. WOW! Who knew Long Beach had such an engaging dynamic art scene of Black artists! Painters, crafters, all had their works on display. Given the diversity of Long Beach there may also be displays of art from other Melanated people, and others, too. That night I was focused on the Black artists. Still, the variety of artists and art mediums was impressive. Once again, a treasure. A rare gem in Long Beach. It reminds me of the William Grant Still Arts Center in LA. Worth the 30 minutes drive from LA. When you go, buy something. Enhance your home with original art. Support local artists!”

“My wife recommened this place after she had birthday lunch w her class members yesterday. I was curious about this restaurant so we decided to celebrate for lunch on Valentine's day. We got there around 12. All tables were filled except some patio tables. Thank God!! We sat at the round table in the middle of dining area. Haha...great spot and we had the golf course view. I love golf course view and makes me relaxed, comfy. As lunch menus, they are more burger and sandwich specialty restaurant w affordable prices, great quality, and good ambiance as a bonus. I am almost shocked about such low prices of wine, margarita, and foods. Most of restaurants have double prices for the wine and food. I got bacon bluecheese burger w half fries half onion rings, magarita, a glass of Merlot for the drink, my wife got tender chicken w fries, same Merlot. My 1st taste for margarita was not strong, very mild, wishing they put more tequila and give more flavors. It took lots of time until we got the foods. But we were o.k. talking and looking at the Green thru the window. For my burger, loved the brioche bun w chargrilled patty w lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, and blue cheese crumble. Wow!!! Tasty like real fancy burger. Fries and onion rings both were so good. For my wife's tender chicken, first huge portion of 4 tender chicken strip. Super crunchy!!! She loved the tender white chicken meats. Overall, the lunch service is little slow due to the many customers but the price, portion, ambiance are great. I want to come again for the weekend brunch. They open at 7 in the morning. Pros Parking: 4 stars, enough Ambiance: 5 stars, so comfy, great view Price: so Cheap for the wine, even foods $13 Quality: 5 stars Service: 4 stars, slow during lunch time You need some patience.... Cons No Tacos....they have nacho, quesadilla, and tostada. I wish they have street tacos on the menu. Great place for the elders, birthday, some events.”

“Beautiful decor, lovely atmosphere. It was however somewhat inconvenient with the restrooms detached/outside of the main dance floor and dining room. Guests had to literally walk outside through a cold/dark courtyard to get to the restroom, during a semi-formal event.”

“My daughters sweet 16 party was great with golden memories at Artesia venue . Everything was beautiful, the food was delicious I’m glad all my guests love the food , the staffs so nice . I can keep on going how satisfied I was with the service. I want to thank Carolina who organized the event. I recommend booking your events with golden memories.”

“I never expected to find such a cool historic site in Compton. The adobe building dates back to the 1800s and gives a glimpse into early California ranch life. The docents were knowledgeable and really brought the history to life. It’s small but charming, with beautiful old furniture and grounds. A real hidden gem for history buffs”

“This year has been spent at numerous convention centers across California. I'd say the Long Beach Convention Center is a solid 4 star. Definitely not my favorite, but a solid spot. The orientation and shape of the convention center doesn't feel the most spacious or comfortable and noise from breakout rooms carries into other spaces. But the pros are that the location is convenient with lots of restaurants close by. Post-conference happy hours can easily be housed at the nearby hotels making it a short walk to the fun!”

“Getting married here was a dream come true. First of all, the Ebell team was extremely easy to work with. Katie and Jen were responsive, kind, and helpful! Their vendor recommendations list was also great!

The Tres LA catering and drinks were delicious. The short rib was melt in your mouth luxurious, and they have a wonderful hors d’oeuvres selection. They also were extremely accommodating and helped us make our menu almost entirely gluten-free!

The wait staff and bartenders were extremely professional and the timing of the food was impeccable!

They have gotten the flow of weddings down to an art form here. The event seamlessly transitions through spaces and the staff changes the rooms over without anyone even noticing.

Lastly, the whole venue is unique, charming, and full of character. Replete with high ceilings, modern chandeliers, abundant natural light, vibrant greenery, and beautiful tile work, the central courtyard is truly stunning. The parlor feels like a welcoming living room that is full of character, with eclectic art and comfortable seating, and even a working piano. Lastly, of course the dining room is elegant and classic with its warm wood and large windows. 11/10 recommend getting married here!!”

“Excellent service, everything very elegant, delicious food ? everything very well organized, Mr. Silvestre and his wife Lulita, very kind, his entire team, very attentive ? I celebrated my 50 Years of Life and I had a very happy party, I had the most magical fun and Marvelous !! Very widely recommended! Thank you God Bless you ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great little theatre. We had a small work event here, Charles was super easy to work with, very flexible and accommodating. The event was a success. Thanks Aurora!”

“We had my daughter's Quinceañera here just yesterday and it was an amazing experience. The owner Michael, was welcoming from the beginning to end. Answered every question I had. He completely worked with us to help bring the room to life. He's also very flexible. He also referred us to a bartender, Vince and he was amazing as well. We chose the Birria as the main course and food was delicious. Wait staff was attentive to our needs and served our guests as they arrived. Security was great. I met part of the cleaning crew at the end and she was amazing as well. Overall a great experience with the owner and so glad I chose Smart's Banquet Hall to host my daughters Quinceañera. Thank you so much!!”

“This center,was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, WONDERFUL for our wedding anniversary reception!! If I can do this again! 100%i would every 5 years!! Food, catering is "Superior"?????????”

“An amazing experience from beginning to end for our Quinceanera and our family. Mariah and Alexis were amazing hosts and made that special day better by paying attention to our requests and details. We will definitely go back to their venue and continue to celebrate our special occasions with them. The Crystal Marquis is a gem to our Whittier community offering amazing prices that no other venues I researched can match....let alone the service.”

“The swan boat was so cool, you need to pedal your way to the water which is a good workout for your legs. A bit tiring for 1 hour but still it was a fun experience. Be sure to wear gym clothes, no high heels.”

“We’ve been going to Prep for years. My daughters and I took classes when they were young and now their teen daughters and sons take classes. My other younger grand kids love the kid classes too. They’re taught real skills to make real food. Nothing is dumbed down but is safe and doable. We have so many beautiful things from the well curated shop as well. My son had a team building night for his employees and it was a huge success. The shop is beautiful, the chefs are professional and able to break down a recipe so we all get it. I’ll keep going back.”

“Winter Camp was such an amazing experience for my boy. It was his first time attending Oodles and he felt comfortable and welcomed since day one. He truly enjoyed it. The staff were also very approachable and nice. Miss Emily was the best! Made me feel like I've known her for a long time. Definitely looking forward to Summer Camp! THANK YOU OODLES!!!!”
