L.A. Banquets – Galleria Ballroom

I booked this place for a birthday party I am throwing in a few months and I experienced one of the best and finest customer service from one of the managers, Albert. Their office hours are very convenient for working individuals. He gave me all the details I needed. He was prompt in accommodating me in everything I needed. He was prompt in communication through email and phone and in person. He even referred me for some other things I needed for the event. My main reason for giving 5 stars was the amazing customer service I received particularly from Albert. He is very respectful, understanding, and always has a smile which I like.
I have been to other events here in the past and I remember the food being amazing, and the place looks great too. I am certain my event will be great and I will most probably do another good review after the event so more people can support great businesses like this. :)

Albert and management were very helpful. I made a mistake and booked their Galleria Lounge without seeing it first. I would have viewed it, but they had an event that day in the room. With only one month before the party, I was desperate to get a location, so I booked it. When I saw the room the next week, we realized the space wasn’t right for our event. Albert was able to talk to the fine management team there and they decided to refund my deposit. Thank you so much. If I need to use your location for a larger event, I definitely will!

My favorite place for parties. Food is GREAT. Service is EXCEPTIONAL. The hall is beautiful and classy. I have attended various events such as weddings, showers and birthday parties and would give them 10 stars if I could. Keep up the good job, guys. Definitely my must go to place for all future celebrations.

This venue has it all. I am the ultimate do it yourself bride on a budget :) The price is the cherry on top of all the fabulous qualities this site has to offer. The décor is extremely elegant. Albert the manager is amazing. He really cares about you and from start to finish he assisted my husband and I with customer service above and beyond what I ever expected. Let’s talk food. Oh my goodness! So much food absolutely delicious. All of my guests were so impressed with the delicious taste and generous portions of food. The waiters and staff were so friendly and helpful. I was able to have the reception of my dreams. I highly recommend the fog on the dance floor for your first dance. It was truly magical. Another plus is that the company let’s you bring your own alcohol. You provide your own DJ, centerpieces and cake. I feel so lucky to find this gem. Stop your search now. Book this venue. Your guests will be so impressed. I love you guys thank you soooo much!

Had my brothers wedding reception at Anoush’s galleria ballroom. Albert and his staff are amazing, the night went smoothly and we had a blast. Will definitely throw another event here!

Just had my venue tour with Albert today! Venue is gorgeous! Albert was an absolute joy to speak and work with! Very comfortable and he literally answered all of my questions without me even having to ask them! He was on top of it all! Very organized and knowledgeable! Thank you Albert!

This was a perfect location for a bridal shower luncheon! Albert and his whole team were very professional and helpful throughout the whole process! We loved the venue and the food was amazing as well!

My husband and i just had our wedding here two weeks ago and we loved the experience ! Albert since day one was so helpful and gave us great service. He always answered our questions and any concerns we had. I emailed him many times lol and he always replied super quickly which we appreciated greatly! The place was absolutely beautiful and everyone loved it. Albert made us feel like home the times we met up with him, he was very welcoming to our family. Also, Albert was very reasonable, easy to work with. And we booked the place 3 weeks before wedding day, and everything came out perfect, we were so happy !!!

I would like to start out by saying I have never received the service I received from Albert. It was so easy to do business with Albert, very professional and there food is AMAZING!!! Thank you for making my birthday so special and having such a professional and kind staff! Definitely going back for my wedding and other occasions!
Thanks Albert!

Had my engagement party here and I must say I was beyond happy with the services. Albert was the biggest help with all of the planning, he was very professional and on it from the very beginning. And everything he told me was done right and perfectly! All the guests loved the venue and especially the yummy food. Would def recommend this venue to everyone I know. And the service was very good as well. There was always a waitress close by if anyone was in need! :)

Albert was AMAZING! He really made our wedding reception special! Everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly the way we wanted it. GREAT price packages, and amazing food. We were unfamiliar with the food at first, but it was tasty and we received many many compliments on how good it was and how beautiful the venue is.

Nice place and good food. they can do better if some of the staff/​crew would be accommodating with our needs but Albert, the manager is great.

I will start my review by saying that Albert is the best! L.A. Banquets is very lucky to have someone like Albert in their staff. He is just a nice, accommodating, and professional person. He’s a joy to work with. You would think that your event is the only thing on his agenda. He promptly answered all my e-​mails. The first time we met, he presented all the choices we had and there was absolutely no pressure to book. He made this part of wedding planning easy and unstressful.
I first started doing research for venues about two weeks after getting engaged. We knew we wanted to get married soon after. I requested a lot of quotes from several places (30+) from La Jolla to Santa Barbara. In the end, I narrowed it down to two places. We met with Albert first and wanted to book right there and then. However, I still wanted to give the other place a chance. Immediately after we got to the second place (in Marina del Rey), we knew we should’ve booked Galleria Ballroom with Albert.
The wedding was everything we wanted. From the ceremony to the food to the alcohol. At Anoush, you’ll definitely get bang for your buck. The food is served family style. The price per person includes 22 appetizers, 3 main entrées, fresh fruit, soft drinks, coffee, and tea (and the venue, of course). For a small added fee, you can add open bar for five hours! Our guests were extremely happy with the food and the ambiance. The wait staff is very professional and our guests were extremely happy with the experience, especially the food. I’ve been to weddings where I leave hungry. It won’t happen to your guests if you book Anoush.
My wedding was small. We had 96 guests and the place looked good and full, in case you’re afraid it’ll look empty if you have a small wedding. There’s enough space for dancing and walking around to mingle with other guests.
The venue provides the sweetheart table, the cake table, gift table, etc. The lobby is also very nice and elegant. The table settings are also very elegant. Overall the tables looked beautiful.
We were allowed to bring our own Photobooth, but we added to our package the chocolate fountain, which comes with marshmallows and strawberries. Our guests loved it! I added a few more things to the table and it became a dessert table.
Prices are given to you from the beginning. Albert explained everything very well; there are absolutely no hidden fees. They have a lot of additional items you can add, such as candy station, cotton candy, snow cones, sushi station, etc.
If you’re still looking for a venue, I highly recommend you book an appointment with Albert at Galleria Ballroom. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Ordered some food for my guests this weekend. The food was great, everyone was full and satisfied. Different types of kabobs and 18 appetizers. Everything tasted great and the prices were even better. Thank you to all the staff at Anush. Wonderful people, great food, great service.

My first choice on picking our wedding venue was at LA Banquets, Galleria Ballroom. I attended a wedding here prior to our reception and I already liked it. As a smart shopper, I was open minded and checked out other venues also. From LA to OC. However, LA Banquets beat every venue we checked out. From its Victorian room that looks like a palace, to its massive menu, I had to have it here. Not to mention Albert, the manager, he’s just organized and took care of us.
Albert, you’re awesome!!! Thank you!!!

I had the Honor to finally work an event at Anush/​Galleria Banquet Hall this past weekend. I was in awe of all the details the servers didn’t miss. From arranging the ceiling spotlights to light the centerpieces to offering to bring me ice when needed. The food was delicious and the presentation was very classy. I will refffer to my friends.

After looking at different places we decided to pick this hall and I’m glad we made the right choice. Albert (manager) was accommodating to us compare to other places who only entertain Armenians. My guests also complimented about the food but as the hostess i thought the portion was not enough. Overall I still would recommend this place to other Filipino families who are looking for a venue. Great food, location and value.

My little sister decided at the last minute she wanted to have a sweet 16 party so there we go like chickens without heads looking for venues to have it at. We went to Royal palace and i mean the venue was gorgeous but the manager had such horrible customer service and was very unfriendly right off the bat, he provided such horrible customer service that his own bartender was embarrassed by him.
Anyways, the next day we went to the L. A banquet venue and Albert the manager was so welcoming and made my mom and i feel very comfortable and less stressed out. He was beyond helpful and very accommodating. The catering staff was very attentive and our guest were so pleased and happy with everything. Albert, the catering staff and catering manager made sure everything ran smoothly and that the service was great. We are so glad we came to you Albert, it was my sister’s dream come true and she has gotten so many compliments on her unforgettable sweet 16 party. Thanks L. A BANQUETS

My wife and I had our reception here in October and it was amazing! From the beginning Albert was a wonder to work with, easily accessible through phone and email. Once you meet with Albert you will agree that this ballroom is perfect for your event.
The Anoush/​la banquets website was really helpful, and after filling out their questionnaire, we got a quick response with information from all of their venues which included the minimum and maximum guest size for each venue and pricing per person for an event on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Anoush has many wonderful venues, but the galleria ballroom was perfect for our guest list of 160. You get the venue from 5 PM– 2AM (google some elegant venues, i bet you only get them for 5 hours, usually from 5 PM-10PM)The ballroom can accommodate 150 – 200 guests comfortably with tables that fit 12 people, but they also have 3 tables that fit 13 – 16 people (square tables). Not only are you getting the venue with the tables (gold or ivory linens), but you are also getting Chiavari chairs for each guest (These chairs are at least $ 5 each to rent !!!).
Hold on though, I’m not done yet… Yes the venue is absolutely wonderful, but you also get food when you book their venues. And by food i mean a banquet served family style at each table
22 appetizers (not to choose from, 22 for you all your guests to enjoy!!!)ranging from hummus to cold cuts to chips and salsa and ceviche!
Then you get 3 main entrees, 1 coming out after the other for all your guests to enjoy. All served elegantly at each table. Then the food that was not served is packaged for you to take home!!!
Think of this place as a one stop shop for all your needs… we added a photo booth through them as well as the uplighting and alcohol for all the guests for 5 hours (for the price you will pay for one hour at any other venue). They have everything! There are no hidden fees, everything is factored in as a per person charge so it is easy for you to follow.
honestly, the prices are so affordable. They do not charge you for bringing your own alcohol! They do not charge you for cutting your cake! It felt like i was shopping at bloomingdales with walmart prices. You get a beautiful venue, wonderful food, incredible memories, and your guests will not stop talking about your event, guaranteed!
I am extremely happy i Unilocaled this place and once I met Albert he made our wedding incredible.

My now husband and I were looking for the perfect place for our wedding reception and stumbled upon this place on Unilocal.Based on what other Unilocal reviewers said, we decided to check it out and see if it really was «as good as it gets!»
From A-​Z, Anoush was absolutely amazing. The venue manager, Albert, was very easy to work with and overall flexible and accommodating to help us with all our reception needs.
Let me put this to perspective as well. If you’re looking for quality food and all inclusive prices, stop your wedding reception search here. Here’s the breakdown:
Food:
#1 — Completely affordable — forget having a beachfront view with soup/​salad, fish/​steak and dessert. You are getting 26 appetizers, 3 – 4 entrees, and coffee, tea, fruits etc for the same price as the typical wedding reception food. My husband and I used to cater at fine dining venues and worked many many many weddings and by far, we felt that the typical 3 course meal at a wedding was overrated. My co-​workers, friends and family raved about the food for weeks. The quality and amount of food provided at the reception completely exceeded our expectations.
Location:
#2 The place is near the Glendale Galleria and honestly, the exterior is OK and parking has to be valet or street. BUT, when you walk inside, the outside makes up for the victorian feel inside the venue. We saved on spending on a lot decorations since the venue was already as beautiful as it gets. :) Definitely worth checking out.
Service:
The waitstaff at the reception were professional and attentive. No complaints here.
Overall, if I was to have another event, I would definitely check out Anoush again.
