Palladio Banquet Hall

Exterior appearance is meh, but they put a lot of money on renovating the interior. We attended a wedding reception for about 300 people. Very nicely decorated. The dance floor is stone or ceramic, not wooden. When we walked in, the tables were already laden with Mediterranean appetizers in a variety that I’ve never seen before. It was fabulous. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, you could have easily made a meal from the Mezze. Later, warm appetizers were served, then warm meats, then fish, and finally roasted potatoes. An incredible amount of food, amazing variety, varying quality. The salmon was over cooked, but that’s pretty common. Was surprised to see spareribs, and they were very good. Chicken and beef were also very good. Would I go back? Sure, if you invite me… They have their own valet parking lot, but there is also street parking. They have a number of venues for varying sized events.

Giving 2 stars because of the food and Hall; its beautiful. Other than that everything went not so well. The waiters are horrible, do not know how to treat their guests, especially the one that had greenish eyes (his friends were calling him «kyaj») had absolutely no customer service… To bad, Couple of tables were messed up, and there is a lot more that does not come to my mind at this point. Would not recommend their hall to anyone, especially that there are bunch of Armenian Banquets in Glendale. My sister wanted to get married here but she is cancelling her visit after this experience…

Recently went to a wedding there. Classy, elegant and great all around. From the entrance to the layout, just a perfect spot for a party.
Food was great too, well balanced and not too salty. Usually these type of halls cover food up with salt and butter but that wasn’t the case here.
The ice cream sundae with fresh fruit was a nice touch in the end. Didn’t expect that at all :-)
Def recommend this place. Looking to book this hall for our wedding next year

Review, as a guest, not a venue host. I’m sure
Amazing space and lighting inside. The lobby is a bit small, but the general layout is super dope. They have great light displays.
The outside is seriously deceptive… way more room in the main hall than what the building looks like from the road.
Valet — $ 8 … ummm, no. really stupid, considering how close it is to the door. Hence, the –1 star. Otherwise, would have been a 5.
Service was great… mostly college guys.

I attended my friend’s wedding this weekend. Boy do my Armenian friends know how to party. The flowers and décor were beautiful. The food was amazing (course after course). Open bar and liquor on every table. The DJ was awesome. I can say this is my first time attending an Armenian wedding I had an amazing time and enjoyed the music, food and people. The palladio outside looks just like any other place but when you walk in I was blown away. The palladio is a great place to have a party especially a large party of say 500+ like my friends wedding. Overall everything was good only slight disappointment is you have to pay $ 8 for valet. I have attended many weddings and usually parking is a must for guest at no cost. Oh well… I had fun is all that matters.

We just had a wedding here on 10÷25÷14 with 430+ people and it was soooooo beautiful. Avo, the owner, definitely knows what he is talking about! We had a lot of people fly out from different parts of the world and we received so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was. The outside of the Palladio can look deceiving, but when you enter it, you’re in a whole new world. We did the white drapes and the white dance floor every thing looked amazing! If you have a vision for your wedding he can work with you to make it exactly how you want it. From A through Z, he will cover everything with you. The man’s done it so many times that it’s a piece of cake to him. What I was thinking of, he already said they were doing. It was like he was 4 steps ahead of me. He wanted us to be surprised when we walked into our reception and we seriously were! The change of lighting of the venue was different for everything that we did. It was just beautiful. I hope to attend more receptions here just to experience the ambiance of the place!

I want to first state that the management staff at Palladio is one of a kind. They truly know what it takes to successfully make a customer happy. My finance and I chose this banquet for our wedding and could not have been more satisfied. Everything was exactly what we had been promised and much more. Mr. Avo is the most professional and sincere person one can come across in this line of business. I highly recommend this venue for any event. Thank you Palladio staff for EVERYTHING!

As promised I am updating my review after our event, and I wish I could give Palladio more than 5 stars…
Wow what a wedding!!!
Lets start with the star of the show, the man that makes all of it possible and the man that somehow, was able to keep me somewhat calm all the way up till wedding day… Avo!!! He made our dream wedding come to life. He met with us a couple of times before the event and went through every single detail. He did not miss a single thing.
Not only that… but he even had a different chef make a few Spanish appetizers because I am Spanish and wanted to add some tapas into the mix. He even printed out menus for the big day because we had guests coming to our wedding, who have never experienced a middle eastern wedding before. He kept reassuring us (ok…me lol) that everything was going to look amazing and not to worry about a thing.
Wedding day came and it all looked AMAZING!!! The hall was the right colors, the tables were beautiful! The bridal table was freaking awesome… everything looked like I imagined but better!!! Not only that, but it went without a hitch. He had every second of the event planned out and his team of coordinators made it all work like magic. Hi Jerry!!!
I have to give a shout out to the security and this hall. I strongly believe that good security keeps things running smoothly and prevents disasters (drunken end of night fights and such) from happening. All bouncers were very nice and kept the place save and free of drama. We had a security guy on every single entrance and exit and never left their post.
Oh the food… the mountains and mountains of delicious food. Everyone told us the food was delicious. We unfortunately didn’t get to eat much on that day… but what we had was great. Thankfully Avo saved the day yet again and saved us the leftover food so even though we didn’t get to enjoy it on our big day, we were able to enjoy it for dinner tonight! lol. I had a few guests comment on how the food never stopped coming. They were very pleased with the insane amount of food and great quality we had at the event.
I could go on and on about how amazing this place is and how our vision came to reality thanks to Avo and his amazing staff.
We cannot wait to attend another wedding at this hall as guests, maybe this time we may be able to enjoy the food! haha
Thank you so much for everything!!!

I had my wedding at Palladio in June. We were provided with amazing service from beginning to end! Avo and his entire staff are professional and friendly. They have great food and accommodated all of our requests! Love this venue!

This place is so beautiful, but the people who work here are so incredibly rude. I was here for my cousin’s wedding. When I couldn’t find a changing table in the ladies room to change my newborn I asked an employee standing by if there was anywhere I could change my baby. He gave me a dirty look and and said «No!» As if the place was far too classy for that sort of thing. A few minutes later my 5 year old ran into another kid and knocked out 3 of his teeth. I was horrified as there was blood running down his face. We weren’t sure how bad it was at first. My husband ran into the mens restroom with my son to wash it off and see the damage. As I tried to go in after them to help with my crying, bleeding five year old the security guard stopped me and wouldn’t let me in even though there were no other men in the restroom. I tried to explain to him that I was the mother but he just ignored me. As my husband got everything ready for us to rush to the emergency room, I had my crying five year old in one arm and my hungry newborn in the other while the security guard at the front door lectured me about how I should have been watching my kid. As if I got what I deserved. They didn’t try to help or anything. They all just stood around and made sure I couldn’t go into the men’s room. Since we left in such a rush we didn’t realize we lost our camera until the next day. When I called and asked if they had a lost and found, the woman on the phone was extremely short with me and didn’t even let me tell her what I lost before she was saying, «No! No! No! Not HERE!» If you don’t interact with the people who run this place you may really enjoy it.

Very nice for Wedding and parties. Very beautiful tables settings. The staff very professional. Security is great. They are in touch with each other. Someone at all entrances and exits.
Nice and cool on this hot day end of May.

I was a part of a wedding that was held at Palladio. It was just spectacular. The waiters were great, the owner occasionally came out to check that everything was ok. Just the overall appearance of the place was fantastic. This is the one restaurant you want your party to be at.

This place is great for a very large party… It’s at a great location the food is amazing it’s a nice place

I have booked my wedding at Palladio for next year! Avo is so amazing and kind and for those who aren’t Armenian or don’t want to speak Armenian he speaks ENGLISH! A blonde lady initially helped us out to show us the venue and to answer any questions we might have.
Then we met with Avo who truly worked with us and our wants to have our day be special :) Thank you so much and I cannot wait to have my wedding here!

Booked this site for our wedding. Yay. Looks absolutely gorgeous. A thorough review will follow after the wedding. But for now we are super excited since this place is just beyond gorgeous and classy.
This venue holds about 500 guests, has a high ceiling and a marble grand entrance.
Love it. Can’t wait for the big day.

What a beautiful place! There is so much food served here, and an army of waiters taking care of everyone. I came here for an Armenian wedding, and it was a very good experience. I did not give it 5 stars because the food flavor for several of the dishes was extremely salty.

This review is for all inquiring brides and grooms:
I had my wedding here last May (of 2012) and I cannot tell you how satisfied and pleased I was the day of my wedding. It was the best night of my life. The hall was so beautifully decorated and the staff at Palladio was beyond professional. NONE of my guests complained at all. In fact, they are still raving about it! Every detail! They loved the décor, the lights, the open bar, the food, everything! I don’t know what’s with the bad reviews, because I definitely didn’t experience it. My family was 100% pleased, and so were my guests. To this day, they keep telling me how impressed they were with the food, especially the quantity of the food! They say their only regret is not being able to FINISH all the food because they were so full!
Avo and his staff were amazing. Again, my family and guests 100% pleased. They ensure that they will give you the best service and the most memorable night of your life, and they DO! The price is reasonable and cheaper than typical hotel ballrooms. You just need to go check out the place and talk to him! You’ll love it, because I LOVE this venue.
Thank you Avo & Palladio staff for your service!!!

I came here as a wedding guest and let me say, this place is pretty lavish and HUGE! You can’t tell by looking outside of the building. As you enter it’s like a hole new world. There was such a wide variety of food (and A LOT OF IT) and all of the appetizers/​entrees were DELICIOUS – persian food? The service was pretty crazy where we basically had our own server for each table, and there were like 22 tables. Each time I would eat, the server would remove my plate and replace it with another one. He changed my plate like 5 times throughout the night (and I’m not kidding). And, my drinking glass never went empty.
Great service, food, and ambiance. And the dance floor was pretty large as well; perfect for dancing. And, the DJ had it’s own stage which was pretty cool.
Note: There is valet parking available, but we ended up parking in the lot next to it where the old Blockbuster used to be; so parking was FREE. :)

It’s a nice Hall. The food was good… I love Armenian food, so I really enjoyed it. The service was good too. Our waiter was very attentive and to think he was serving 3 tables with 10 guests each.
Only draw back… when we walked in the Banquet Hall, it smelled of Cigarette smoke. The entire place smells, even if no one in the party was smoking or smoked. I thought it was already banned in Glendale to smoke in public places?

Came here for a fundraiser and it good. The food wasn’t that great but the hall itself is very nice. Liked the high ceilings and layout.
Wasn’t crazy about the $ 7 valet charge and the kabobs that were way too salty but the rest was okay. The waiters need more customer service training.
Other than that, it was okay.
