“This is a good place, I was at my nephew's wedding, and I liked it, there are good views of the passageway, also this house is located near the Shakespeare house, it seems to me they are quite similar, I also like the staff here, that is, how they prepare and hold events here, in general the house is not bad, and even excellent, I recommend everyone to visit it ?”

“We attended a family wedding here which was absolutely beautiful. They were married in the outdoor courtyard and cocktail hour was in the main lobby. We also enjoyed dinner and dancing in the large ballroom.”

“It is spacious and has multiple entrances, making it easy to get in and out.Very comfortable. It's a beautiful place. There is a parking lot right across the street, but I'm not sure how much it is. However, it seemed a bit crowded due to the large number of event crowds. If you don’t mind walking about a blockParking at E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91101 is $12 per day. It's a bit disappointing that there is no discount on parking.”

“Went to the Jack Scott congratulation event sponsored by the Pasadena City College Foundation. Spectacular. Beautifully organized, delicious hors d’ouevres, sound system and stage set up excellent. A wonderful event. Loved the new renovations. A great club. A great city.”

“We had our wedding in Noor in August and it went great! Robert and Rachel were super helpful and helped us with everything we needed! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue! Highly recommend!”

“came here for LindyGroove on a Thu & loved it - setting fits so nicely for a dance style from the 20s yet I appreciated the dress was so casual. Such a welcoming group to out of towners!”

“The best parade there is all year in California at least that I know ofIt has a variety of events which start at approximately eight in the morning, obviously it is a very special event which requires you to leave very early to be able to have a space and park in advance because there are too many people who go and the truth is that it is worth the It's a shame the second time I go and I will go again next year if it has never been in person I recommend that you don't miss it next yearThe best parade there is all year round in California at least I knowIt has a variety of events which start at approximately eight in the morning. Obviously it is a very special event which requires you to leave very early to be able to have a space and park in time because there are too many people who go and the truth is that it is worth it the second time I go and I will go again next year if it has never been in person I recommend that next year you do not miss it”

“Celebrated my daughter's 21st Birthday and had a great time! The space was perfect for our guests and still had lots of room for the private vendors that we hired that night. I read some reviews just now about this venue and majority mentioned about them liking the natural light during the day. Ours was a night event and I cannot emphasize how nice the photos came out when our photographer took pictures of our guests in the alley and against the red brick wall outside! It was CLASSIC! Venue was clean and staff were very helpful. I wished the response level was quicker when I had questions during the planning stages but I'll still give Whimsy a 5 star because that is more on me - being in the sales/corporate business, I need to respond ASAP or lose the deal type of thing. I wished they had a branch closer to where I live but either way, I will consider booking with them again in the future. Thank you Whimsy!”

“Great venue for parties. Lots if room, great kitchen, reasonable prices. We had a blast. Patrick is super easy to work with and makes sure the venue is top notch. Will come back again for parties.”

“Ii traveled for business. The stay was a pleasure. The breakfast was worth the cost. The bar does have limited meal options but food places in walking distance. The parking charge per night was a little much being I am paying to stay but ok. The staff are kind and very helpful from the front desk to housekeeping.”

“I had my daughter’s wedding here this past Sunday. The owner worked with us on everything that we needed. Our server Anna checked in with us 2 weeks prior to the event to get everything finalized. Her and the rest of the staff did an amazing job! The food had great flavor. The bride and groom were very happy how everything turned out. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Would definitely recommend to others and we will be returning if we need to have another big event.”

“BEAUTIFUL place. The area itself is beautiful and the vast garden and walking path is amazing. You can host anything there from a conference to a wedding. Just don't park there after your event because they will lock you inside the gated parking area. That was my experience. I had to call 911 to get me out. I went for a walk after my event (which ended at 4pm) and when I returned (around 5pm) staff locked the gates and I was stuck. They saw my car and the park was still supposed to be open but they locked me in and left anyway. It took 2 hours for me to get out. I live 2 hours away. I must say the police that were on the scene were very nice. They did an investigation afterwards because this apparently happens a lot.”

“Serene, stunning, absolutely gorgeous. This hidden gem is a great place to take a date and explore the well maintained Japanese garden with lots of history. It is quite small, but you get transported to another time the second you enter. It is super peaceful and beautiful. There is a $12 entrance fee but it is worth it as a one time thing. Be ready to take lots of photos, and say hi to the cute ducklings!”

“This is the place that I first went for dance classes. Aukai and Chris pushed me to become a better dancer. That helped me come out in the WNBA halftime show LA SPARKS. Also the owner of this studio is a great person. All around this dance studio you’ll be surprise it’s a gem and more people need to come. I love you all from BODACIOUS”

“My wife and I recently got married on 11.02.24 and had our reception take place at Imperial. It was absolutely perfect! Since the beginning of the booking process, to the food tasting, and our final walk through with linen choice, guest seating, time line, vendors set-up, and drinks, the entire experience was truly stress free.

Amelia and Amber were ALWAYS friendly, honest, and professional. They both were always available to answer any questions we had and were always flexible to set up a meeting with them. We also appreciated how relaxed and straightforward they were with us because it made things so much more simple. It's easy to over think things when planning a wedding and working with them made it a pleasant experience.

We had a guest total of 200 that showed up and every single person loved everything about the venue. We aren't exaggerating, they all loved it! There was plenty of food for everyone and it was so delicious! A lot of guest said they wish they could take some home. During the cocktail hour, they provided sweet and fresh fruit to our guest and also served hors d'oeuvres that were delicious as well.

We bought our own alcohol for our specialty drinks and the bartender that they provided did a great job making drinks for everyone. We asked Amelia about the bartender and she happily gave us his contact. We were able to talk to the bartender, Joe, about the kind of drinks we wanted and how much alcohol/beer to buy. Joe is super cool and really helpful! Thank you Joe!

The staff did an outstanding job the from beginning to the very end of the reception. The valet staff were all friendly and helpful. They made it easy for vendors to pull in and unload their equipment. Guest had no issues getting their vehicles back and left with no issues.
Two security guards were at the front by the entrance, (venue provided) and kept professional all night. The guest tables and sweetheart tables were all clean and presentable with food already at the table and a lot of guest really appreciated how the servers were so attentive to everyone. As soon as a food tray was empty they replaced it immediately with another full one. To the all the staff, all of you are awesome!

Thank you so much Amelia and Amber for your help and for providing us an amazing venue for our wedding. To anyone looking for a venue to host an event, give them all call! We highly recommend Imperial! 100%”

“Came for a wedding and was pleasantly surprised by the interior space. The exterior of the building is a little off putting but when you enter, just wow! The creative design possibilities with this interior space are endless. Very beautiful and from what I’m told, extremely affordable for the Pasadena area.”

“Really enjoyed my round at Brookside on a Sunday afternoon. Rental clubs were brand new set of Taylormade Qi10s. Greens were in great shape and fast. Playing beside the Rose Bowl and the San Gabriel mountains was a special treat. Pro Shop and clubhouse were very nice. Bring sunscreen and even an umbrella if you’re walking as the sun is really strong in the summer.”

“This business originally opened in 1977 at another location. This location has 2 banquet halls that can be custom decorated for your event. One space has a capacity for 180, the other 450. They also have a kitchen for catering. Call the phone number for more information. They don't seem to have a website, possibly because its an older established business in the community.I recently learned from a local that she has been going to events at this venue since she was a kid. Her whole family has their weddings and receptions there. I live right by the venue and when I first moved here I heard the sounds of celebrations every Friday and Saturday night.”

“This is a smaller location but nice. They put up names of those celebrating their birthdays. The weather assigned service was very attentive. The food selected was tater tots, chicken strips, veggie dish, buffalo pieces and drinks. There was also pepperoni pizza that someone ordered while bowling. They do have a separate section that awards to be for more private events as you couldn’t just enter. There’s a bar area and small arcade. Unfortunately they don’t have a ramp readily available for individuals with disabilities and when it was, it was more for small children and not young adults. They do have security as it moves towards the evening. Where I took off a star was the bathroom stalls were dirty.”

“Holiday Inn Express & Suites exceeded expectations! The front desk staff, especially the receptionist today, was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and offered a great breakfast selection. Overall, a pleasant and welcoming experience. Highly recommend!
