The Pasadena Convention Center is a great venue to consider for your wedding or special event. With so many rooms and different spaces to choose from, there is a space available for you for both small and large receptions.

The decor and building is sleek, minimal, clean, and modern, which serves as a good clean palette for you to bring in a lot of different florals, lighting, and rentals, so you can go either way with design whether its saturated with color, or just kept clean and simple.

The staff is also great, their responsiveness is quick and professional and the staff is very on top of things. From booking, to planning your wedding, to the execution on the day-of your event, they are responsive and quick to action.

As a planner, and also a guest who has attended events at this venue, it is a great value and the food is also really great too! I highly recommend it for any wedding reception, corporate party, or special event!

the chef is very inconsistent.. sometimes she makes really great food from scratch and other times she just uses left overs or frozen food... for the money, it was a good deal, but i only got the great deal because i used to work there.
