I’ve been to this venue a few times now. They did a nice job renovating a few years ago. Sometimes the color changes are a bit much, but that should be controllable. The layout is a little weird since as a dj, I had to setup to the side. I prefer setting up facing the guests, but it’s still manageable. Parking is a bit tough to find on the street. But luckily, they do valet service available like most halls do in the Glendale area.

Adam and the staff of MGM are gifts from the gods. There is literally not a bad thing to say about any part of the experience. Weve had 2 parties at the hall and will certainly come back for more. The service: amazing, attentive, professional. The food: ridiculously good. Will rival any Mediterranean restaurant in the country (that was our menu choice but the selection is vast). Adam: he might be the best part about the entire experience. Extremely pleasant, warm, and accommodating. You can tell he loves people and ensuring guests have the most amazing experience. Lastly, the venue: modern, clean, great dance floor, awesome lighting, fantastic bar area, etc. etc. etc. absolute pleasure working the MGM.

Our experience with MGM has been amazing. We did our engagement party there last weekend and Adam went above and beyond to make sure everything was great. I highly recommend doing business with Adam guaranteed he wont let you down. I have never met anyone who can be so friendly and professional at the same time. The venue is great, its draped and has amazing lighting, the food is to die for and management and staff are excellent. My family and I didnt have to worry about anything we really truly enjoyed every minute of our event because Adam took care of everything and didnt let us worry about anything.

Place looks amazing but it is extremely small for a dance floor. Came here for Prom 2019 and it was small, food was not bad, and the ac mustve not been working because it was hot in there as many people were dancing creating heat which the ac could not keep up with.

First off, I just have to thank Adam for being so wonderful! You were so super helpful, so patient and you really helped me get my nerves on check! When you told me that you got it and not to worry, you really did have it and i didnt have to worry about one thing!My experience working with Adam and the rest of the team at MGM Banquet hall was amazing! Everyone was super nice and polite and they really made our wedding what i dreamt of it to be! All the guests loved the venue, the food, the ambiance and the crew! There is nothing that I would have changed that night!Thank you, Adam and MGM Banquet Hall for making our wedding super amazing! Will definitely be having future events held here!

Recently had a bridal shower here for my fiance. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and amazing. The service itself is excellent, the event organizer, the employees, and everyone else did such an awesome job helping me and my fiance out in planning every last detail about this very important event. The wait staff was very tentative, courteous, and kind, they attended to all our needs and as well as the guests needs.

I recently had an event there and could not be any happier with the experience and the ease of the entire process. From the very beginning the service and attention to detail was excellent and professionally handled. The food was great and it kept on coming all night. The new renovations to the hall are very nicely done and the prices are very reasonable!

I was recently at an event at MGM and could not believe how professional and easy going the staff and management was. They catered to everyone of our needs and went above and beyond to make sure that every one of our demands were met. The service was impeccable and the food was second to none. Great job MGM. Keep up the good work.

Had a pleasant experience at the new and improved MGM Ballroom. I was surprised that their new marketing campaign of THE NEW MGM is actually cool...their new staff is awesome, their menu is great and the new upgrades in the venue are incredible. Most places you have to pay for white drapes, but they offer white drapes with awesome lighting system and a white dance floor for no additional cost!! We paid $40 per person and got the same thing that big places like the Taglyan and Vertigo were offering for double the price. I recommend MGM for anyone who wants all the fancy bells and whistles for the low affordable price of $40 per person. Awesome place!!!!!!!!!!

My soon to be Husband and I visited the venue 2 weeks ago. Id been super excited to meet Adam because of all of the positive reviews Id read on Yelp. (Im all about reviews!!) So we booked a walk through and I couldnt have been more satisfied! The venue is simply Amazing! We ended up booking a week later!I want to take the time to thank Adam who was very personable and he was also very knowledgable about the venue. Thanks for helping us and giving us a wonderful tour! He was so kind and patient, and by the end of the tour I only had 1 question. Did I mention he works with you throughout the whole planning process?! Im extremely excited for the planning process of my wedding and look forward to continue to working with Adam.

MGM Baquet Hall has the friendliest staff from management on down, amazing deco and provides excellent service. Their food is marvelous and words can’t describe how delicious it is, and you just have to try it for yourself to believe it.For years now we have been celebrating our occasions there and have been referring our friends and family to them which have also been pleased.If you have an event and want to experience HIGH CLASS service be sure to choose MGM banquet hall for your next event, you will not be disappointed.What I also love about this place is they have great prices and will work with you to meet your needs.

I had my wedding there on Nov. 4th and I must say that my experience from beginning (booking the hall) until after the wedding was over, were beyond my expectations. Adam was very helpful through the entire process as well as the staff on the day of the event was very friendly. The hall is very modern, clean and looks even more beautiful once the lights are dimmed and the up lights are turned on.All my guest talked about was, how good the food was and the portions were more than enough. Very happy and would totally recommend this place for anyone with any upcoming events.

WOW.... what an amazing hall. Went to a wedding there back in October and the hall was amazing not to mention the service and the food. The food was so fresh and delicious and the waiters provided excellent service. I was so pleased with this hall that I will be doing me next even there, hopefully they are not booked.

I cannot praise Adam enough. Not only was he attentive to everything our party needed, but he was extremely courteous and flexible with all of our options. On top of it all, not only was the food amazing, but it was plentiful, fresh, and kept coming throughout the evening. Our guests were amazed, to say the least, and we are anxiously awaiting our next event because we will be returning to MGM Banquet Hall when we do! Keep up the great work, MGM! Wishing you all continued success!

This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I cant wait to have my wedding here! We met with Adam and he was able to answer every single question without hesitation. Originally we planned on visiting a few other venues, but after visiting MGM Banquet we knew this was it for us.

I have attended many events there and was pleasantly surprised when attending a recent event there. I love the New MGM! They have delicious new food, new trained and amazing service, and the new decor (drappings and lighting and white dance floors) were perfect. I cant wait to book my next event there!

If you are planing to have your wedding here you must know that this places is okay as a banquet hall but they serve the worst food. The food in this place is not good at all and you’ll leave hungry.

Review №38

If I could give this place no stars I would. I attended a reception here for a wedding that I was a groomsman for and got into an altercation with this places supposed manager of the day. He claimed that I was hitting on his girlfriend who was one of the servers and wanted me out. I told him Im not going anywhere and that Ill leave whenever I please. Im not going to leave based on some false accusation and jealousy. The man was delusional and drunk cause hed been drinking on the job, trying to pull me into the kitchens to fight. Even several of the servers were helping the manager by pushing me into the kitchen towards this guy. I told them all multiple times that Im not trying to get involved in something stupid like this at my friends wedding and it just blew out of proportion. DONT GO HERE. YOURE LIABLE TO GET DISRESPECTED OR WORSE, POSSIBLE EVEN HURT FOR LITTLE TO NO REASON OTHER THAN A DRUNK MANAGERS FOLLY.

Glendale’s MGM “banquet hall” is one atrocious venue, to say the absolute least.The service is what most would call rude, foul, vulgar and offensive. The busboys are obviously eastern European (Euro Trash). With tattoos on their hands and a brute/hooligan approach & attitude toward others they obviously have poor management and no guidance which also leads into the fact that you do not need to be micro managed to be polite and hospitable. I recently attended a reception at this location and found my visit disturbing. When my party arrived they asked to valet my car, this was confusing because they just parked the car on the street, in front of the main doors (I don’t know if this is because I have a new fancy-ish car or because they were lazy). Seems like a great way to make extra money on guests. They also did not help us out of the car however expected a tip.Arriving at our reserved table, we noticed that there were used dirty drinking glasses on the table and some of the silver wear had been used. We asked for clean glasses and new silver wear. It took over 45 minutes just for 4 glasses and a soft drink pitcher and a water pitcher for the table. This was also after a very heavy tip and many “Thank Yous”. One busboy attempted to give the excuse that they should not bring out new silver wear because there was no food on it, and it had not been used yet. We asked for him to take it anyway. We found both busboys extremely vulgar.The food was actually not bad. I mean, compared to everything else I was beginning to expect the worst. It was generic mainstream “Mediterranean” fair nothing special at all. It did seem decently clean however; the staffs make it a place you do not want to attend. Even the security guards were not interested in saying “good evening”. I think management needs to focus on some training. Possibly bringing in a professional manager to look over everything.If you are interested in using this venue for your own calibration, save yourself the embarrassment and shop around the area. Some similar venues in the San Gabriel Valley are a MUCH better choice. I would look around for a better and more approachable hall. Very, very unpleased with my evening here.

The cheapest place ever and I cant believe what happened to my daughter. My daughter was playing next to the wall and the manager who was an elderly man pulled her hair and said dont get too close to the wall and dont touch the wall. We got in fight with the manager and he was panicked because he didnt know we saw what he did to my daughter. The security was also watching us, but he didnt do anything...He said ill warn him....????!!!!!
