I absolutely loved working with Emporium! It was a bit pricey but everything was taken care of for me and everything was included. From catering, to decorations. It made my life so much easier. Everything was beautifully done thanks to Cyntia!! She was awesome and made my wedding day so special and just how I wanted it ❤

Pros: They have a large room, a small room, chocolate fountain, catering services, many decorations to choose from, security, good size parking lot, changing rooms, and almost anything else you could ask for. They also have a strong history of awards and recognitions.Cons: Nothing can be brought in or customized beyond what they offer. We have to use their catering, decorations, and a set number of people to use their spaces. I cant have a small number of people and reserve the larger room. Additionally, theyre very expensive.

The place is nice but the staff is extremely rude.In my plate I found a huge piece of hair and when I told the waitress to call her manager nobody came...wouldn’t recommend this place

Read the contract before you sign. They basically can change whatever they want when it’s convenient to them. The city was shut down 2 weeks before my daughters quince they offered to change the date so we did, the receptionist said it would be 3,000 less and Yaramin said no it was only 1,000. They were at 50% so I wanted to push it out more and they said because it would be 2021 they wanted $1,500 more. Doing right by the consumer is not a priority to them only money. It’s a beautiful place and the parking lot needs help.

Our experience with this venue has been difficult this year especially during the pandemic. Only recommendation I can make is reading the contract carefully before signing anything or giving any funds. My fiance and I have suffered from not having a wedding and losing all the money we have given them, even with giving them 10 months in advance of notice the only option they were giving us was a change of date. We give them 2 thumbs down and if we could we would give them ZERO stars!

I’m looking for a hall and have plenty of cash to spend on my beautiful daughters quince. I will never give my money to a business that does not put customer service first tho. I read the lowest reviews when choosing a place. If a business is okay with having a customer say they chose Toyota for more money after already taking a deposit, NOPE 👎 that’s not the way you do business. I’ll take my money elsewhere. Words of advice, keep your customers happy cause word of mouth can make or break your business and from what I see, y’all don’t have good service.

I haven’t been to this location before, I’d love to plan an event here in the future. The building interior design is elegant and refined. It complimented the lavish decorations that our host provided for the event. I’d just recommend caution on the gravel and rough terrain in the parking area. It could be a bit messy in the rain. However, the front door and drop off are covered and paved nicely.

Absolutely incredible our wedding day was so beautiful! From the moment we signed the Contract leading up to the day of our wedding they had everything run so perfectly and coordinated with our DJ, Photographer, and our Cake person! Our wedding was perfect! Thank you all!

This venue is like a pig with lipstick...beautifully decorated but the service was piss poor.Attended a quince and it was so disorganized. The event mgr kept disappearing, the wait staff was rude, and they miscounted food. Two tables had to go without meals then they wouldnt allow the guests not to bring in food to feed their kids so the guests had to leave and miss parts of the presentation.This venue has 4 event rooms but the walls are thin and can pretty much hear whats happening in the next room

A jewel type venue nicely tucked away on the Southside of San Antonio. Nothing but class to say the least. Awesome place for a wedding or any other celebration.Probably pricey but well worth it.

Yarlen Linens and Emporium are the best at what they do! They help you with your special events from start to finish. I use them for linen service and they are always helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great venue and amazing linens. Yaramin and her team is great at what they do and care for all their clients. Give them a call and set up an appointment today.

They were great! They did an excellent job. I am glad they just didnt throw it together. They made sure it was done right. They were very thorough and very detailed. Thank you for making it a great event! I would highly recommend them to everyone and I have. I even included their name on the thank you notes because I have never experienced such a dedicated company to make sure the job is done right! You just dont find that in todays society. They take a lot of pride in their work.Thank you once again.

Cintya was amazing. My event was everything I ever dreamed it would be. I lost my mommy two months before my wedding and I was afraid to go forward with it since she was no longer with us but the staff did a good job with the memorial table and everyone complemented us how beautiful it all was. I would recommend 💯. Thank you Empirium by Yarlen for everything.

I give it 3 stars . Nice & all but they forgot to mention once the hall meets its capacity no one is allowed in. Security locks the mains doors to the ballroom refusing anyone to come in. Theres no in & out which thats a first.

The food sucks. The chicken was dry and stopped serving water and tea after the meal. The staff is discourteous and their policy driven vs customer oriented. A simple task was made into an ordeal by the appointed organizer. Disappointing.

This place is beautiful! Went to check it out and get an estimate on a Quiceanera for my daughter which will be in a little over 2 years. They have options to provide almost all services. Price is a little up there, but it sounds like it will be worth it. Will post another review after we book and after the party.

I worked with Emporium by Yarlen for my engagement in 2013. It was a pleasure working with them. The team was very understanding to my needs and was very professional with their work. We had rented our centerpieces, table linen and chair covers from Yarlen. They also did our stage decoration.

I was so overwhelmed at the amount of complements we received during and days after our HESA Banquet on May 24, 2018. It was like walking into a dream. This place is just amazing!! The magic was all over the room. From the time we booked it until the end of the event, this staff was just wonderful. I have been here for several events, from Prom HHS 2012, weddings, and banquets and every time the place is enchanting!! This is a place where dreams really do come true. I recommend this venue to all! Let the Magic begin by calling.C.RamirezHESA

We had my daughters Sweet 16 party at this venue and it exceeded our expectations. My daugther stated it was perfect! The service was professional yet very friendly and accommodating, food was delicious, and the decorations were gorgeous. Our family and friends were very impressed but most importantly had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this venue for your next party. We will certainly use it again. Thank you Gabrielle and Yaramin for making my daughters day special.

As an Event Planner & Coordinator, I have been happy to do business with Yarlen for several years. Their inventory of table linens is fabulous, and probably one of the best in San Antonio. They are always willing to accommodate a client. Ive never been disappointed in their customer service. Yaramin is a busy lady, but always a pleasure to work with.Sandi Karam

Gorgeous place. I worked an event here and was disappointed for my clients. The servers arent great. But more importantly, the actual event coordinator was missing through the night. I actually had to step in and save the night with coordinating everything and getting the Quince presentation started. She showed up later and was a nice person, but I have no idea where she was. Also the clients couldnt hire their own photobooth. They had in house at high price. Location is in the ghetto, but its beautiful inside. Decorations and setup are a5 star. Restrooms 5 star. Price is ridiculous though. Parking is plenty. Sapd was security with 2 officers. Dance floor is big. 25 tables is what i counted in round shape plus square long tables for the court. Extended hours were available.
