Venues & Event Spaces near Sierra Madre, CA

“A very charming rental venue that we reserved for an evening to host a dinner for about 70 of our friends. our contact was Stella, who was professional and informative. our caterer and myself loved the kitchen-- it was spacious, great counter space and a great stove to heat food. also spacious fridge. Bathrooms and the whole venue was clean. There are multiple sets of french doors throughout the main room, which helps to circulate fresh air. we didn't have to rent tables and tablecloths from an outside vendor as you can rent them from the lodge. our guests loved the location. we plan on leasing it again. great for wedding, reception, party, or a dinner.”

“We hosted my wife’s milestone birthday here, and it was fantastic from start to finish! Only rented the outdoor space and it had the perfect mix of warmth and energy on a beautiful Socal evening. The staff went above and beyond, staying attentive without being intrusive. I had DJ, food, dessert vendors and 70-ish guests so plenty of space. The music setup worked perfectly, and the lighting added a great vibe once the party got going. Everyone raved on how fun the night was! We left feeling grateful so support this awesome community in Altadena and the venue!”

“​If you are looking for the premier dance space in Southern California, look no further than Lai Lai Dance Studio in Alhambra. Having been a student here for 10+ years, I can attest to the high quality of their faculty, and choices of instructors (both their private and group lessons). The 1-hr long group lesson fee is reasonable ($17/group lesson) and the classes are held mostly at the convient time of the day (from 6:30pm to 8:30pm).

​The venue itself is top-tier: recently remodeled, impeccably decorated, new rest rooms, a complex and suspended hardwood floor (that flex a little to protect your knees from shocks) and a high ceiling that provides an open and airy atmosphere.

Logistics are a breeze thanks to the large on-site parking lot and its central location near Alhambra’s best amenities. On top of having the most competitive rates in the area, the management (led by the wonderful Brenda) creates a warm, professional environment.

Their bi-annual showcases are a highlight of the year, offering a great platform for dancers of all levels. A truly exceptional experience!”

“Charming Victorian house turned B\&B with beautiful period decor. Each room has its own vibe — I stayed in the Rose Room with a clawfoot tub. The breakfast was homemade and better than most cafés. Hosts were warm and attentive but never intrusive. Peaceful, historic neighborhood. A total gem if you like unique stays”

“We used Maxwell House Pasadena for our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff went above and beyond, the space is beautiful and welcoming, and everything ran smoothly. Our guests loved the cozy, stylish atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Words can’t fully capture how beautiful this venue is or how kind and attentive the staff were throughout our wedding experience. My wife and I live in Washington State, and we chose this hall because the location was perfect and the space fit our guest count exactly and it exceeded every expectation.

Teddy was incredibly kind, understanding, and professional from start to finish. Even with us planning from out of state, he made sure everything ran smoothly and that every detail was taken care of. On the day of the wedding, he went above and beyond to ensure everything flowed seamlessly and that all of our guests were well taken care of.

The food was absolutely delicious we’ve received so many compliments from our family and friends not only about how stunning the hall was, but also about how amazing everything tasted.

Thank you, Teddy and your entire team, for making our wedding such an unforgettable experience. We truly appreciate everything you did to make our day so special.”

“As a wedding planner, we were so happy to have had such a wonderful experience working at the La Cañada Thursday Club! From the very beginning, Ani was so helpful and accommodating. Our couple’s busy schedules meant planning meetings often had to happen later in the evening, and Ani was always so gracious and flexible to make it work. Throughout the process, she was willing to do whatever she could to make things easier for both our clients and us as vendors.

On the wedding day, when we ran into a few challenges with other vendors, Ani & Jose partnered with us and assisted with such kindness and flexibility, which made a huge difference for us. It was clear that her heart was always in the right place. They genuinely wanted the best for the couple, and it showed in everything they did. Working with the La Canada thursday club team was such a joy. Thank you Ani for truly going above and beyond.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the La Cañada Thursday Club to anyone looking for not just a beautiful venue, but also a team that truly cares and will go the extra mile!”

“FABULOUS FIND!!!! I’ve hosted several corporate work events here and even parties for my children. The perfect modern, clean slate with stunning airy high ceilings, brick and concrete floors fit for any party as the backdrop to morph into your perfect vision. Staff and owner are always professional and go above and beyond and stay the entire time during events to make sure every need is met. The staff is very communicative during the ENTIRE process leaving planning a stress- free experience. Wish I could give this place 10 stars!”

“Milestone Creative Space was the perfect event to host our department's teambuilding event! We booked with Raymond who was so responsive to all of our questions and just a pleasure to work with. James took care of us on the day of our event and was so attentive and helpful.

The venue is beautiful and spacious. We had about 55 people in attendance and we could have easily had another 55! We were able to set up tables in one half of the room and lay out yoga mats in the second half without having to move anything around. The venue has tables and chairs that can be set up in any number of configurations.

They have a great patio space in the back as well and easy access for vendors to drop off the goods.

It's a really great venue and there's tons of parking nearby. I highly recommend it!”

“Not sure how good the Pasadena Convention Center is, but the show of Art Center College of Design graduate show was GREAT!

However, I suppose the Convention Center is a very fine venue for the event.”

“1st time here. No complaints people were very nice, comedy was good. Food was okay for what I had chicken and a salad.(other said food was trash here) Water price was crazy work but to be expected in that atmosphere..”

“I never knew this little hide away venue was there. It's nestled in the residential area but you feel like your far away.
I was there for a Christmas Party hosted by Parents Place. They all had so much fun in the in Large banquet room. Lots of dancing on the big dance floor. They had a bar area, but for this event there was Waters and sodas and non-alcoholic drinks. The facility has a large kitchen and the bathrooms were very large and had multiple stalls. Can't say how many were in the men but in the women there were four regular stalls and a handicap stall. There was a little sitting area and two sinks. Very clean restrooms. Outside it had a large patio area for guests as well. It was a night time event so I didn't get to see all of the grounds but I heard they have horses as well as a nice walking area.

I can't wait to go back to see it in the daytime to tour it as an event planner this is something I think I would definitely recommend for people to have their events there.

Worth checking it out and seeing what the pricing is on the venue since I wasn't hosting this event I would have to call and check but I certainly will.”

“We had our wedding here and could not recommend more! The venue, food, and staff were amazing from beginning to end. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a hidden gem in LA!”

“Lovely space. Excellent food. As a vegetarian, I was particularly delighted with the range of food I could eat. My deep gratitude to the person who made the food selections. I was pleasantly surprised to have creme brulee for dessert! Yum.”

“We had such a great experience at Laser Land! Diana and Morgan were incredibly helpful, friendly, and insightful from the moment we walked in. Diana took the time to explain how to play the game, which made everything so much more fun and easy to understand. She really made the whole experience enjoyable and exciting for us.

The atmosphere was welcoming, Diana and Morgon were kind and funny! you can tell they truly care about making sure everyone has a great time. Thank you, Diana, for making this experience so fun and memorable! We will definitely be coming back.”

“NOOR was not only perfect for our wedding size, the staff and team (especially Robert) were incredibly thoughtful, kind, and helpful. I wish more venues had this level of transparency with cost. Everything was incredibly easy for us to book, customize, and adjust. We just had our dream wedding and our guests keep talking about how much they loved the space and food! Thank you so much!

Update: One major item I forgot to mention; this venue was near the site of the LA fires in Jan 2025. The amount of work the Noor team did to support the impacted local community left me so reassured that this was the ideal place to be married. Nothing feels better than knowing you are supporting a business that supports others. Thank you Noor team for all you've done for so many couples and the LA community!”

“Fun place for a night out with friends or family. They can accommodate for large groups with 32 bowling lanes. They serve small appetizers, have a boba and bar area, pool table and some arcade/claw machines.
The are multi-stall restrooms, clean and are handicap accessible.
There's plenty of shared lot parking.

Note: they charge $1+ for a pitcher of ice water.”

“La Canada Flintridge Country Club hosted our annual Charity golf tournament and was very accommodating. Joy was the event coordinator and explained everything in depth. Scott is the club pro that set up the tournament to run very smoothly. The food that the club serves was delicious and everyone complimented on how good it was.The course was in excellent condition.I will definitely recommend recommend LCFCC to anyone looking for a great course and club to host your tournament.”

“My twin happy to play at Play lab indoor playground. They love to play sand outdoors on sunny day . We enjoy variety tea and coffee for free. Free diaper for young toddler too. All staff are nice and kind. Good price for twin 50$ monthly membership for both locations. Many good activities like dad group, dance class, sensory story time... Highly recommended. Happy holiday and Merry Christmas to respectfully C.E.O and all staff. Love”

“Great organization with awesome members. Covid has slowed things down but when we reopen you should consider being a member. We raise money and give every cent back to the community.”

“Very nice course, wish I had time to do the full 18 but the front 9 provided a very good challenge as a beginner. The staff and service was absolutely amazing. I will definitely keep coming back here.”

“This is a members only dining area. We have been guests from members a couple times, and we have enjoyed the food, service, and the atmosphere.

The food is always very good, prices are pretty reasonable considering this is a country club.

The service is always excellent and accommodating. Special call out to Orly who was courteous and helpful. For example, they don’t have Mocha coffee on the menu, when we asked for it, they made it for us anyway.”

“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 California country club was great I have been here a few times and the food is great along with the drinks their great bartender Andrew makes definitely will be back to try something new on the menu”

“I thought it would be some stuffy old country club, but it was actually really nice, the drinks were good and the staff was freindly. The only thing I would change is the parking, it definately gets tight on busy nights.”

“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!”

“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”

“BB Creative Event Space was wonderful place to celebrate my daughter’s 2nd birthday. The space is clean, well-kept , and has a warm inviting ambiance that my guest and I reallly enjoyed. We felt comfortable celebrating in our way, and the space was spacious and breathable, which made the experience even better. The speaker,Wifi and TV access all worked perfectly, and I had no trouble connecting to anything. I also appreciated the convenience of the small refrigerator. The restroom was very clean and well maintained.

I definitely recommend this Space for anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable space to host an Event.”
