⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Honest Review of Our Reunion Venue Experience We recently held our 30-year batch reunion at this event place. It definitely has great potential, but there are a few things future customers should know before booking: • 💫 Venue Potential: The place is nice, spacious, and has a lot of potential for beautiful events. Outdated and the decorator Rosa made it better. • 🪅 Decor Recommendation: Highly recommend Rosa, the decorator — she did an amazing job! The setup turned out lovely. 🌸 • 🧑‍💼 Management & Staffing: Needs better organization and management. Only Deedee (the owner), Rosa, and two other staff were there — and some arrived late. • 📶 No Wi-Fi: Don’t expect any Wi-Fi access at the venue. Plan accordingly if your event requires connectivity. • 🍸 Open Bar: The promised 3-hour open bar was extended until closing as a courtesy — we appreciated that gesture. 👍 • 🎥 Missing 360 Booth: The 360 photo booth that was included in our package did not happen. • 🎤 Vendors: It’s much better to just rent the place and bring your own vendors for catering, entertainment, and other services — you’ll have more control and less stress. They were short of staff, tardy and unorganized. Overall, we had a memorable event because of our guests, music, and teamwork — but this venue could truly shine with stronger management and more reliable service

We celebrated my daughters babyshower about 2 years ago. The venue was beautiful just perfect for my family. Dee Dee was helpful in every way we only rented venue everything else we did on our own. Excellent place, I actually decided to rent the venue for my 50th birthday party. The location is convenient for hotels, and friendly atmosphere. My experience was excellent the last time renting, I referred this place to a couple of friends and family. My family and I highly recommend this spot great service and prices are pretty good as well. Come see for yourself you too will be amazed. Other venue are high priced this venue was in our budget. Thank you Dee Dee.

Absolutely Incredible Experience – Beyond Grateful! We hosted our 20-year high school reunion here, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue and the incredible team that brought our vision to life. From day one, our coordinator Dee Dee went above and beyond to make this event happen. She was kind, flexible, and genuinely cared about making sure everything worked within our budget—without ever compromising quality. Planning a reunion can feel overwhelming, but Dee Dee made the process feel easy and even exciting. She was always responsive, full of great ideas, and a true professional. The venue itself was stunning—clean, spacious, and beautifully set up. It created the perfect atmosphere for laughter, reconnection, and celebration. A special shoutout to Rosa, who completely blew us away with her balloon decorations! The balloon arch was gorgeous and added so much charm and color to our entrance. Her work really made the space feel festive and special. What meant the most to me was how helpful and warm the entire team was. Every detail was handled with care, and you could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a memorable night—and we did! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly it all ran. If you're looking for a venue that will treat your event like it truly matters—this is the place. Thank you again to Dee Dee, Rosa, and everyone who helped make our reunion one of the most unforgettable nights ever. 💖

Hello I am responding to the negative reviews placed on this site by: Chynna Pedraza, Bianca Pedraza, Connie Pedraza, Brenda Mene, Cesar Galvez and AM. First and foremost, there are 2 sides to every story. I along with Diana, Melissa, Rosa and other great planners book this plaza, and although I am not perfect, one thing I am known for is being flexible and working with budget. This client Chynna, came to me with her daughter to book our venue. As she toured she said "well it won't be that many people, we really don't have much family here" I always ask, "Whats your budget" She said $2000? Then she went on to say she would like everything done for her. Because I am empathetic, I said ok. I can do this for 50 guests and I quoted her a very low price. I also mentioned it would be standard decor, etc. So we moved forward. As a matter of fact, we disucussed price and she took a couple of months to book as it is apparent she went to shop around and found we were giving her the more affordable price to fit her budget, so she came back to us. Now I quoted for a taco bar or pasta bar as I can get those at a cost affordable enough to fit her budget. She then called a few months later and wanted to upgrade the food. (tritip etc) So I of course had to charge her (50 guests) then a while later, maybe a month out, she called and said we need to add for 20 guests, so mind you we went from 50 to 70. I charged her for the venue, bar and chairs, but when it came to adding on food she said "No, I hired a taco guy he is going to come and cook for 30 guests" now that blew me, because HOW at an event do you tell guests they can have one or the other, and only 30 of you out of 70 guests get tacos? but that was not my problem as this is what the client stated. In the 11th hour, she calls and says can we add more chairs for up to 100 people. So we went from 50 to 70 to 100... I out of courtesy, went ahead and created seating for 100 people at no additional charge. Now mind you, nothing mentioned about adding food for 100, just seats. The night before, I get a call "Dee Dee, Im hoping you can help, our taco guy just called and cancelled, can you add more food?" I asked how much more? she said "Just for 30, can you do a fettucinni alfredo with chicken for 30 people, I have $300.00 that I was gonna pay the taco guy" I said "Let me call chef, and see what he is willing to do" I called her back and said he said to send him the $300 he will handle it. I went to pick up the catering, chef made the extra food not to feed 30, but 70. So now we have food for 70 guests, that my client is more than aware of, but her own request was seats for 100 (are you all doing the math with me) oh and I also threw in ONE HOUR FREE BAR! Regarding the bar, she said "its going to be a quince, not many people will drink" lol.. that turned out to be a lie. Now back to the counting. Over 125 people showed up! Now, I am not in the loop with any client on how many invites are sent, or RSVPs are received, this is the clients responsibility to be HONEST and UP FRONT in letting us know what we are up against. Chynna did EVERYTHING she possibly could to cut corners. Other then dealing with Chynna the client, the others that left a review never spoke to me. Food ran short as we only ordered for 70. Bartender was doing her job,she stated they weren't going to be big on drinking, so having a newer bartender would have been fine had this been the case. As for weed smoking, guests from the party were partaking in weed outside. Its legal, I don't mind it on the premises. This event cost this client just under 5k, for what should have been 70 guests, not 125 plus! Everyone ate one time, there were not enough for seconds. She went to get more food and it was all tossed no one ate it. She was over dramatic, because she knew she messed up and thought the tears would warrant a refund. btw our venue holds 200 guests. They were crowded as we did not set up for 125, so they were adding chairs where they didn't fit. That was not our doing.

If you ever had to choose between doing your event here or letting Republic services host your event I 1000% suggest you let Republic services handle your event, here’s why. Our family was promised the most extravagant event that we could ever think of. the way Diane explained her services and sold us was a dream. It seemed to be everything we were looking for, for my niece’s 15th birthday and as you know, you only get one quince and that was supposed to be her dream event next to her wedding day. Diane did not provide enough food for the guest on top of it being communicated that there would be, there was several guest left without any food. we were left to scramble and trying to figure out how to accommodate everybody on top of trying to properly host, which should only have been our only concern for the night. The DJ that was provided did not have the proper equipment as he had a 1960s laptop that was still using AOL dial up and I am not lying when I say this I’m telling you because this is what he said. As you know there was to be a video played of my niece‘s childhood and for everyone to enjoy, but that couldn’t be done because if he turned off his laptop and connected the USB that was provided, he said it will take him 20 minutes to restart the music because his laptop could not do it. He also cannot provide the music that was asked ahead of time if he was able to play it and was assured by Diane that that was guaranteed. So we were left with family and friends trying to help the DJ to play better music. Not only that the bartender that was provided, dressed like she was from coyote, ugly, and was way too slow, serving the drinks. Diane did not even help her, but sat beside her and just watched. It was also disclosed that the bartender would stop to take shots while serving the guest, which is super unprofessional. It was promised that the whole event center would be provided and the Tables would be laid out beautifully, but instead the tables were stuffed in a corner and made everyone squeeze in. We were all practically sitting on each other‘s lap. The decor that was promised was not what we agreed on and at this point it was too late to do anything about it. After months of planning, we were all left in disbelief of how Diane catered this event. Even after vocalizing everything that happened Diana was still very rude. Did not wanna accommodate all her mistakes that was made. Very unprofessional. So if you’re looking at this event center to do your wedding, your kids birthday or any big event I would suggest that you look elsewhere because again Republic services could’ve provided you something better. I will 100% guarantee you that this event center can only cater about 20 to 30 people for a senior citizens event or a Girl Scout event.
