This past Sunday My Father, my wife and I held a memorial in celebration of my mothers life. Who passed away at 63 years old and married to my father of 36 years. The warmth and understanding that Ruben and his family extended to my own family is beyond words, their generosity was from a place of genuine respect and regard for not only a family in grief but a family that wanted to try and convey to those who would be in attendance a celebration for the life of a woman whose heart reflected values of their own. Very GOOD PEOPLE!!! They were so awesome and accommodating and we were treated like people who were grieving the loss of a dearly loved one and not as a paycheck. When our time ran over Ruben personally contacted me and said we were fine. I cant thank him and his family enough.

La Gala Banquet Hall is the PERFECT venue for any occasion! The hall is spacious, beautifully decorated, and well maintained. The owner Ruben was very accommodating and available to help. La Gala sponsored the Celebration of Life for our beloved mom. Our mother touched the lives of many people so we had a great turnout. ALL of our guests were very complimentary about the beauty of the hall. Thank you Ruben for allowing us to use this fantastic space! Our family was able to host a memorable farewell, homecoming celebration for mom. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. We strongly endorse and recommend La Gala Banquet Hall!!

Didn’t even know this beautiful place was here!! My close friends celebrated their wedding at La Gala, perfect for a big party! Great location too, felt safe the entire time. I loved this place! Ask for Ruben, he’s the master planner and has a great attitude helping out.

I highly recommend La Gala Hall if youre thinking of having an amazing party! The staff is incredibly friendly, the decorations were really pretty, and the food was really delicious. I plan on having my next big bash here! What I really loved was the lighting colors and the bar in the back. Also, security was on point. Highly recommended, I just saw they have TikTok and love their videos.

Just helped throw a baby shower at LaGalaHall. Everything came out perfect. I cant be happier with how everything turned out for my sister. From the decorations, music, drinks to the way the owner helped us on everything. Thank you Ruben! Very professional and helpful. This is the type of venue where you can count on the owner to be on top of everything. Big parking lot too. Catering was on point.

When I first visited La Gala I was greeted by the owner, Ruben Longoria. He is the most genuine and honest person I have met in a long time. He offers packages for every occasion and handles every party as if he was planning his own! They have been in business in the same location for over 25 years! That alone speaks volumes! Go see Ruben for your special occasion!!

Thank you for making my mom’s celebration of life so memorable and special. Words can’t express the gratitude our family feels for such a perfect setting. Your attention to detail in celebrating my moms life was impeccable. It was a Royal celebration for that of a Queen. Thank you La Gala for making that happen. It was perfect.

I didnt know what to expect. When I walked in....OMG what a BEAUTIFUL interior. I was there for a sweet 16 and its probably one of the most beautiful sweet 16s Ive ever been too. This place is definitely a hidden gem by far. Would love to have an event there and will also recommend it to people.

Went there for a Quinceanera and had a great time celebrating with family and friends. Beautiful lighting and the sound system had me impressed. Security was on point and the food was high quality. I wonder if they have any dates available for a Christmas party? My niece found them on TikTok so they stay pretty active on social media. Will be back!

I have to give a big thank you to La Gala Banquet Hall. We had a theme event and it required so much. So much time and planning was put in by my family. Not only did Ruben and Lala allow us so much extra time so that we could really see our vision fill their already beautiful venue but they also went beyond in lending us material and giving us suggestions. You can tell these people really care about their customers. I just can’t imagine any other venues out there that would have done what they did. And from what I hear they do it day in and day out. Why go anywhere else ? We had 250 guests with plenty more room.

We used the hall for my mothers Memorial Celebration. She passed away from COVID-19, so it has been a difficult time for us. I cant express how grateful I am that we held the event at La Gala. Everything was so beautiful and there was plenty of space for safety. I highly recommend La Gala to anyone for any event. Ruben and his family (owners of the hall) will take care of you! They are such good-hearted people- I cant say enough good things about them. If they can make this happen with a funeral, they can do it with any event! You will not be disappointed.

Outside parking was dirty. There was stuff in kitchen left around counters that we were not supposed to use or wed be charged. Like paper towels, paper plates, plastic forks/spoons, etc. We couldve used the space all that took up. They did do a great job in decorating the place. But we felt like we were closely monitored.

First when you are at a party and your shy but want to dance, they cant because your lighting was so bright no on wanted to get up and dance. Then when the DJ was asked to play certain music it was mostly ignored. No one felt hyped to dance and the music was mostly older stuff, slow and boring. Then we were charged $6 a small pitcher of ice and $3.50 per small bottle 8 oz of cranberry juice because its BYOB but you had no set ups other than that and no one could bring there own. This on top of the amount of money the hall cost to rent. This is just my opinion of my experience, now I will say it was a nice hall and it was clean.

Thank you for making the best day of our lives perfect!! WE LOVED every part of our wedding and we were unable to do it without La Gala, most of all, Ruben. The guest did not stop speaking about how great the hnall was, how everything ran, they were in awe about the food and service, and of course the open bar. Thank you for being so attentive and helpful during the emotional time and being so flexible to make our guest and my husband and I comfortable and worry free. Thank you again, we are forever grateful Joyce & Donald Curtis❤

Ive had both of my daughters partys there. One quince and one sweet16th. My cousin just had her daughters quince there too. Its big enough and love the dance floor. Very clean place as well and with covid going on I actually did my daughters sweet16th. They had mask and hand sanitizer as well. I highly recommend this place. We have a wedding next and planning it there too. Thanks Mrs. Lala and Ruben

Where do I begin? So my spouse and I where seeking for a venue to have our wedding. It became a little discouraging because of time frame and we couldn’t seem to find what we were looking for. So I began to randomly search on Facebook market for venues and I ran across La Gala Banquet Hall. I was so impressed by the photos I saw of precious events I couldn’t wait to show it to my fiancé . Keep in mind my spouse to be was out of town so we virtually came into agreement. I scheduled an appointment to view the property I loved it. I walked in to a cleaning crew mopping floors and handling business that was definitely a plus for me. The parking lots a huge the entrance was a luxurious look I knew the limos would look fantastic. The bridal suite was so personal and intimate. The venue is super clean and spacious. My hugest concern was the kitchen and restroom I believe this both are very essential well the kitchen was very good exactly what was needed the restrooms were huge very sanitary with huge mirrors just what ladies would love. I love that there are two passage ways to restroom it helps avoid over crowding. I loved the bar we were allowed us access although we served no liquor by choice .

If I could give La Gala Banquet Hall along with Reuben and his mom more than 5 stars, I would. Not only is the facility a beautiful space, but the professionalism experienced by me and my fiancé was without question exceptional. The journey to having our wedding ceremony was a long one due to COVID-19. We initially were scheduled to have our ceremony on March 21, 2020. That was the very week, the Governor assessed statewide closures. I am sure you can imagine the stress and disappointment that came along with the closures. From the moment we were forced to make changes, Reuben was extremely helpful and flexible with us finding a date that would accommodate both parties.In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, La Gala Banquet Hall implemented many changes to ensure the safety of their customers and guest. These increased safety measures provided an extra level of security and alleviated some of the stress of my big day. There are so many things done so graciously by Reuben and his mom to make this one of the best experiences of our lives.Our wedding came and went without a hitch. The day was a great celebration of love with family and friends. The entire experience was a beautiful. It is no doubt that Reuben and La Gala Banquet Hall contributed greatly to the success of the day.If you are looking for elegance at a fair price along with owners who care about people, look no further. You will not be disappointed.Mr. & Mrs. David Glenn (Bridgette)

Well if youre wanting something quick to have a quince, birthday, or shower this may be the spot for you. But for more elegant affairs, not my choice. Their slogan says they take pride in their establishment and their clients simce the 90s. But the staff is unorganized at times, the owner Lala is rude and doesnt have customer service when dealing with people, the venue could use some remodeling on the interior (i.e. stage, drapes (stained, satin, and brown), murals on the walls-not sure what they are, bar area, and restrooms). And the location sits on a busy street so photos outside of the venue would not work. I deal with venues often and this would have to be my least favorite.

La Gala Banquet Hall is definitely like no other hall in the Houston area. This hall is beautiful from driving up to the front doors then entering and seeing all the way Mr Longoria and staff has beautified this building is jaw dropping amazing. Everyone in my party we’re in awe the way the set up was and is. And even threw is pandemic the staff set up the table for social distancing which was not a issue cause we still had enough room for everyone. I definitely recommend La Gala Banquet to everyone, you will not be disappointed.Thanks You.

The venue is a very beautiful place. The owner was very polite. Offered a lot for the amount of the facility. I had my 60th birthday party there both my guest and I were very satisfied. I would use the venue again. Very nicely operated. The only thing I paid for a bartender and they sold ice buckets for $6.00. The bartender was not a friendly person. Next time I rent I dont want a bartender. Other that it is a very clean and spacious venue.

Review №77

When my sister passed away earlier this year, we found ourselves having to put together a gathering in her honor. We were in need of a location that would allow us to accommodate all of our needs including the ability to serve food and drinks to the many friends and family that wanted to attend and pay their respects. We had a week to put this together while still working on the other logistics associated with my sisters passing. Ruben Longoria and his staff went literally above and beyond to make this process very easy for us. Whether it was deciding on and purchasing the food, beverages, flatware, and even arranging for a required security guard, they were there to help. Everyone was so friendly and courteous to work with. This lifted a heavy burden off our familys shoulders.When the day of the event came we could not believe how beautiful the hall looked. It was a perfect representation of everything my sister loved. The event went off wonderfully and served as a beautiful celebration of her life. The La Gala Banquet Hall was the perfect venue and my entire family are deeply thankful to Ruben and his staff for their commitment to making the event as special as it was. They clearly have a passion and commitment for what they do and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a special event in the future.

I had my wedding at this hall. The set up was beautiful, but there def could be some changes made for future people to enjoy all theyre money invested. The table for my wedding party was not large enough for all of them to sit so I did not get the ideal pictures I wanted of them all together. The lady that did my flower arrangements and bouquets/corsages/bout. etc, well my flower arrangements were pretty but I was very disappointed to know she never made my toss bouquet, my moms corsage fell apart before the ceremony even started, and all my bouquets/bout. were WRONG!! Saddening to say we shopped for these items together I sent her 3 emails of how each should look and the day of they were completely different and not what I had ordered. I called her and texted her various times when my moms fell apart and she ignored me...HORRIBLE!! Lets not talk about the DJ who had my music for 3 months then all of a sudden the night of the wedding he has none. Thank GOD for my choreographer Micah he was my life saver he took my ceremony music, even when having it the DJ STILL played the wrong song as we were walking out. After our skit turns out the DJ had no more of my music. We payed so much money for this and I def dont recommend this place to anyone who wants things to go right. I payed for all the food after 9 pm they told me it wasnt mine anymore, on my wedding day having to dispute that I payed hundreds of dollars for it, def was uncalled for. I even told the owner she didnt respond to any of this because she already got my money and she was done with me! If I wouldnt have paid my thousands of dollars I would have gotten a refund the day I caught her talking behind my back!

Wanted to leave a review so I had to give it one star, if I had a choice I would have given it negative stars.This place SUCKS!!! Do not recommend this place to anyone. First of all had dinner set for a certain time and then after that time was up all the food and ice that we purchased had been taken away and locked up by the owner. If they were hungry we would have feed them instead they lock it up so they could have something to eat for the week. Then we asked if we could have some of the ice that we purchased separatly from the price of the hall and we were told no. This is a hall that is about sticking it to you after you pay for the hall they want to make more money off of you. They even charge you for a single cup($1) that you could purchase at the dollar store(12 ea= $1). Please..Please beware if you plan on having your event here!! Read the contract twice maybe three times and confirm what you can and cannot do they will change at last minute notice.
