Gretje Angell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2021 I'm not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at NOOR. When beginning to look around for venues, I had done a quick Google search for places which accommodate small weddings in LA. NOOR was the first venue I chose to peruse. I decided to call, and the minute I spoke with Robert (who was very quick to respond), I knew we had found our location. To begin with, Robert is a kind, lovely man, who genuinely wants to make your event perfect. Being musicians who lost ALL work during the \"shutdown\ Reviewed on 11-08-2022

Stunning place! One of the best venues in Los Angeles. What makes the place extra special are the people who run it. Robert and his team are kind, professional, honest, and accommodating. They will make you feel at home. Everything is impeccable. The decor, the ambiance, the vibe, the cleanliness. The venue is located conveniently in downtown Pasadena near City Hall. The sunset and views from the balcony are spectacular! A wonderful place to host any type of event - intimate or large, catered to all types of people, where you will feel safe, have fun and feel taken care of. I hear NOOR stands for light', 'illumination'. This place will light up your life, for sure! Reviewed on 31-12-2023

I had my wedding at NOOR earlier this month and I have nothing but positive feedback for not only their accommodations, but their service and attention to detail as well. Their team and service staff absolutely exceeded my family and guests' expectations. Everyone is still talking about my wedding night to this day and I could not be happier that it was as memorable to all my guests as much as it was for me. I would like to thank NOOR's events team for making my day so special. They were beyond organized and it made my wedding planning a breeze.

We just had our wedding at Noor this weekend, 07/08/2023, and it was a wonderful and magical experience. The venue impressed our guests; the outdoor ceremony was gorgeous, and the staff was kind. I want to single out Merissa in particular for being such an incredible help and going above and beyond to accommodate (and often anticipate) our every need. We adored Merissa so much that we wished we had hired her to plan the wedding. She's delightful and deserves all the praise (and a raise!). NOOR is literally the perfect place to hold any event.

A year before our wedding date we had our first in-person visit and it was just as beautiful as in photos. The staff was extremely helpful and responsive. The team worked with us on scheduling all visits and was flexible since we don't live near Pasadena. The week before, our site manager helped us change our ceremony from outdoors to indoors due to weather. On the day-of the staff was attentive, friendly, accommodating and communicative.

Clint Chung(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2022 Our special day was initially set for May 9, 2020, but as we all know, COVID had other plans. We were crushed and decided to postpone a few months to August, thinking that the pandemic would pass and we could still enjoy our special day soon. That obviously didn't happen either. Two more postponements and we finally were able to celebrate on April 23, 2022.During that time my wife and I decided to get married anyways, in a parking lot, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. Not exactly the same environment as we had dreamed of at NOOR, but nevertheless a day we will never forget. Each time we had to postpone we inquired about terminating our contract, as the lure and excitement kept fading the longer the pandemic prevented us from holding our event. I get it - a contract is a contract and businesses were struggling too. Bridget was great, doing whatever she could to try and accommodate us and, for that, we were very appreciative.So here we are, almost 2 years after we got married - wife is now 6+ months pregnant, but we had an amazing time. Our event coordinator, Kaelan, was incredible! She was so sweet and made sure everything went according to plan. Our friends and family kept mentioning how calm and laid back we were throughout the entire day and evening, and a huge part of that goes to Kaelan and the team at NOOR for preparing and executing our timeline of events flawlessly. I'll be honest, there were many times we discussed and wished that we could have cancelled our event, moved on, and put this all behind us, but after experience our wedding day (i.e., almost 2 year vow renewal) at NOOR, we are truly happy to have held the event and now have the wonderful memories with our family and friends.

Robert and his team at NOOR were so accommodating and worked with us through both postponements so we never felt like we were going to lose out on our venue. That peace of mind was priceless! We went through 3 different on-site coordinators over 3 years and every single coordinator handled our wedding with the utmost care and professionalism to make for a seamless transitional process.

When we went to see Noor, we were blown away. The place was spotless, newly renovated, and stunning. We immediately knew this was the place to celebrate our reception. We booked the Sofia Ballroom the same day and are so happy we did! Emma was our event coordinator and we corresponded with her throughout the planning process. She always responded to our emails promptly and made the process so easy. We had last minute updates the week of the wedding and she never made us feel like we couldn’t approach her.Noor has this wedding thing down.

Mila Ballesteros(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2021 If you have made it this far in your search for a venue, it would be futile to look any further. This is the most beautiful venue that I have ever seen, especially if you are looking for a fun and festive wedding vibe. The energy that this place gives off is what sets the mood for the reception (your guests will feel it) and the photographs/video will look so glamorous and luxurious, you'd think you were in a movie wedding.People: The staff at Noor are the BEST! From the very beginning, Bridget Ann was so helpful and accommodating to our needs and vision for the big day. Noor offers a ton of different packages and options to choose from, and she really helped us find the best one that would fit our needs AND budget. I also could not have asked for a more helpful, attentive and responsive coordinator (Kaelan), who always kept us on track and was ready to answer one of my million questions at any moment :)Place: The pictures speak for themselves. We were in the Ella ballroom, which had the goth-Victorian chandeliers with LED lights everywhere, giving it a modern touch. It's hard to explain but the end result is just so stunningly beautiful. Your guests will be looking from the ceiling to the floor.Food: Noor's food is DELICIOUS. This is not your typical wedding food (forgettable), this is restaurant quality food - if it wasn't a venue, you'd want to go eat here on a weekly basis. We had the middle eastern family style option, and our guests could not stop talking about the food. Accommodation/Options: Noor's packages cover a lot of what you'll need for your wedding. From a beautiful ballroom that needs no extra work to the food and entertainment options. It is all basically on a menu and you choose from what fits your budget. On top of that, what they do not directly offer, they give you a list of trusted partners that they've worked with in the past (from DJs to wedding planners/coordinators and beyond). This really takes a lot of stress out of the planning process, which can be daunting in the beginning when you don’t know where to start. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. There simply is no other venue like it. Reviewed on 16-10-2021

Trevor, my now husband, and I did a tour of the Sofia (larger ballroom) ballroom in November 2018 (1 month after getting engaged) and it looked perfect! It was renovated from the time I had my debut in 2012 and Trevor got that “feeling” when he saw it in-person. We originally booked it for our wedding reception on 10/17/2020. Trevor and I had a church ceremony. When COVID-19, the NOOR made it super easy to reschedule and postpone our wedding reception. We moved it to 10/09/2021 seamlessly.

I did NOT want to get married indoors...At All...Yet, due to the impending Rain, that just might be a realization.

Jason K(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-01-2020 I had less than 2 months to plan our wedding and I really have to commend Kenji, Bridgette Ann, and Miranda for their assistance in facilitating our wedding planning. Here is my review of our experience with Noor.PRE PLANNINGAs soon as I inquired about Noor, I immediately received a response from Bridget Ann (Vice President of Sales) within hours. Although we received a prompt response from Bridget Ann, my wife and I were still exploring other venues. After speaking with other venues, we decided to proceed with Noor for the following reasons:Location - Centralized location for the majority of our guests. Ample parking space to accommodate guest’s vehicles. Aesthetics - The ballroom and foyer were well maintained and looked great. We had approximately 130 guests which the ballroom accommodated everyone comfortably and without appearing too vacant. The foyer isn’t meant to hold all the guests inside. They do have some lounge chairs and tables but again, not for 100+ guests. Plan accordingly to accommodate elderly guests and the disabled. Price - Their wedding packages start at $85/person which I thought was kind of pricey at the time. However, there were no hidden fees or any additional charges (service, tax, etc) which I liked. This helped us keep track of our budget.FINAL MEETINGOn our final meeting, I met with Kenji (Event Manager) and discussed the floor plan, wedding timeline, and other administrative matters. I really appreciate the fact that Kenji took the time to listen and accommodate my requests. I was provided a suggested floor plan layout to which I altered and presented it to Kenji. Kenji assured me that they can absolutely meet my request while professionally advising me of potential issues that I didn’t foresee with my layout. In the end, I went with their suggested layout. These guys are professionals with years of experience that know their venue. Clients are free to make adjustments to the floor plan but it seems to me that they will have the optimal solution once you provide the details and client specific guidelines.WEDDING DAYI was very pleased with the Noor Staff. Kenji was present and made sure everything was flowing smoothly and keeping up with the timeline that I provided. I did have some minor changes on the day of to which the staff was very flexible and more than accommodating. They understand that a couple’s wedding day is one of the most important life events anyone can experience which showed through their exceptional level of service. CONCLUSIONI would highly recommend Noor and their team of experts to host your next event. Wedding planning can be very stressful but with the team’s outstanding organization skills, it will alleviate any unnecessary stress. They are a team of problem solvers who will always provide some sort of suggestion or solution. With that being said, the wedding planning responsibility does fall upon the couple. I appreciated the fact that they went the extra mile to provide feedback and pay close attention to detail. You can certainly have it your way (while adhering to the rules/regulations) but sometimes, they may already have the best way. Reviewed on 08-01-2020

They are dog friendly for the terrace ceremony area, which was one of our main reasons in choosing Noor. The bridal suite was a nice relaxing area upstairs in the apartments where we were able to look down at the terrace while things were being set up. That was a nice view that we got to experience. I was starting to loose my voice an hour before the ceremony, good thing there was a full kitchen in our bridal suite and there was even an assortment of teas that we helped our selves too. Wedding food at venues can be a little scary sometimes, cause you just don't know until you've booked them, also as a guest we've attended other venues and the food has always been mehhhh and always went home hungry. Noor has such a great list of options it was so hard to choose from cause everything looked so yummy! So happy that we ended up choosing a deluxe menu option, all our guests complimented on how yummy the food was and they all left very full. Our guests had so much fun during the dancing portion too, fyi the lighting package is a must! It made such a difference in the mood from cocktail, dinner, games, into dancing the night away! It was also so nice to see how our photos progressed through the evening with the light changes in the background. We love Noor and wouldn't have changed anything about our wedding except we wish we could have partied longer. It was truly magical and Thank You team Noor for giving us such a great memorable experience! Reviewed on 26-12-2019
Amy Christianto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-02-2019 This recommendation is overdue. My husband & I were married in the NOOR Ella ballroom in February, just six weeks after booking the venue in December (SO lucky they were still available on the one Saturday we were looking at!). We were definitely on a time crunch, but Maria & Miranda were an absolute DREAM to work with. They were professional, kind, humorous, patient, & maybe most important of all, RESPONSIVE. The Ella ballroom is modern & stunning, it fit our wedding of ~110 well though it would probably feel too crowded if there were any more people. The food was delicious in comparison to other weddings I've been to, & this is because their kitchen doesn't leave hot food sitting out; it's served as they are made. The price for our wedding package was more affordable than we initially guessed! The only thing we didn't get to experience was their bridal suite because there's only one but 2 ballrooms, but this didn't pose a major issue due to the abundance of hotels within walking distance. Overall, we loved NOOR, their staff, & wish we could do it all over again. <3P.S. The bartenders (especially the award-winning female, sorry I forgot her name) are awesome. Reviewed on 26-10-2019

She offered great suggestions, aided in making sure vendors were properly insured, and always responded to emails/calls in less than 24 hours. Miranda was able to take care of all the vendors, guests, and nitty gritty stuff so I could fully enjoy the day. Miranda is not only professional, but also genuine. When my dad was crying his eyes out at rehearsal dinner, she was there to calm all of us down. The venue is absolutely stunning! If we could pick a venue again, we would pick Noor without a second thought. We had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception which was perfect!Outdoor ceremony area is fairytale like; blue sky, green plants against white curtain, sound of the water fountain, and feel good breeze are nothing short of every girl's dream. Indoor reception area is classy and tasteful. Our wedding was on a tight budget so we went with the most basic food options: herb roasted chicken breast, portobello mushroom ravioli, and classic French ratatouille. We heard great feedback from our guests about how great the food was; some even said best wedding food they've had. There is a parking structure attached to the venue so it's very convenient for the guests. It was $6 per car if you get it validated and you have an option to pay for your guests' parking.

Natalia Cardenas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-02-2018 It’s been about a week since we had our wedding (ceremony, and reception) at Noor and we could not be happier with our entire experience. From the very beginning at our venue tour with Robert (owner), to the several days after our wedding with our amazing day of event coordinator/event manager, Amin. At the first visit with Robert, he was so easy going, upfront, and honest about the venue services and costs. We did not feel pressured to commit that day or add on every extra add-on or cost for our wedding. Later, for our first meeting with Noor we felt very impressed with Amin’s friendliness and professionalism. He answered all of questions at the meeting and responded to questions via email in a timely manner. During the final meeting Amin was very cordial to our videographer, who joined us to get a lay of the land. This meeting, Amin guided us through our wedding timeline and answered our videographer’s questions; his attention to detail with certain needs was perfect. He even asked us a few things about our timeline that we had not even thought about. This little paragraph is a shout out to the main man with the plan behind the scenes. We loved every second of our wedding at Noor. Amin absolutely slammed this thing out of the park, what more can you ask for out of this guy. Throughout the whole process he truly cared about our big day, and it was evident in all the detail. This would not have been possible without the support of an awesome, experienced, and caring day of coordinator. He even showed us the ballroom for approval of the setup before guests entered form the foyer after cocktail hour. That was unexpected to view our wedding reception prior and we were grateful for the considerate gesture. Also, poor Amin even gracefully handled answering demanding questions from one of our mothers before the wedding and dealt with a drunk headstrong godmother during the wedding. We received so many compliments about the delicious duet plate; miso salmon and filet mignon. Relatives who never ate fish, ate the salmon and my mother who hardly eats red meat devoured her filet mignon. So, hats off to the chefs for the amazingly delicious meal, and thank you.After the wedding, there was precious cargo left at Noor, and they were happy to safe guard our belongings until we were able to come pick them up 4 days later. This was so helpful because we did not have enough room the day of the wedding to pack everything into our car. In conclusion, if you have not figured out from this novel-sized review, we would 10/10 recommend Noor to anyone looking for a brilliantly assembled, memorable, enjoyable wedding!PS FYI we had 200 guests at our wedding and never did it feel crowded.

fatima Amir(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2017 Paige the event manager, completely ruined the night for me and my family. One example is how she disrespected my mom and aunt when we were running behind schedule and it was getting close to the end time of the event. I don't know how any of that was their fault and why she needed to be rude about it. She approached me as it was getting close to 1am and asked if I wanted to extend the time to 130am and I gave her the okay. The credit card we put on file months before no longer worked because it was lost and we replaced it with another, and with a million things to do before the wedding I forgot to replace the one I had on file with the new card. So as soon as it declined she approached my mom and in front of our guests tells her that the credit card declined, and to get her new card right away. My mom was so embarrassed in front of our guests as anyone would be, but clearly the only thing on Paige's mind was making sure she got the extra $500 for the half hour at that very moment. My mom kindly asked her if she could give her the new card after the wedding was over because her purse was in the Noor bridal suite which is further away from the venue. It would have been inconvenient for her to leave the venue to get her credit card especially with a half hour left. But Paige threw a tantrum, and my coordinator who also thought she was extremely rude that night, had to calm her down and asked her to wait until the wedding was over. This would have been the sensible thing to do than to bother the brides mother. My poor mom was really shocked by how she was treated.If I could go back I would have chosen a different venue for my wedding. For what you end up paying, just pay a couple thousand more and have your wedding at the Hilton or somewhere nicer that actually values good customer service. It's really not worth it at all, especially with the disrespect you'll likely have to deal with like we did on our wedding night.

M M(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-04-2018 We chose this venue for how beautiful the reception area is and for being able to build a stage on a fountain to get married on. In the end, I realize we got so much more than that. Before I give you this place a glowing review, I’ll highlight some of the great things up front:•\tPicturesque Reception Venue: With a built in-bar, high-end wood floor reception, media and lighting all part of the venue ambiance, this is a perfect venue that is already designed to host an upscale wedding•\tBeautiful, Enclosed Outdoor Ceremony: The venue is part of Paseo Colorado Mall but you would not guess it when you are inside the ceremony. They have beautiful white shades that cover the wedding ceremony but leave the top open to allow natural sunlight and blue sky to illuminate your wedding•\tPrice: For the size of our party (300 people), Noor provided an excellent price that included 6 hours of premium bar, outside catering, 3 bartenders, 12+ hours of venue site rental, 4+ hours of set-up time, and a host of other accommodations for a price that was better than all its competitors. They even provided a Photo booth and champagne toast on top of everything else•\tCustomer Service Above and Beyond Everything Else: From the sales coordinator, Bridget Ann Shillet, to their event manager, Paige Black, Noor provided excellent service. We didn’t have a wedding coordinator and I can’t tell you how much Paige and Bridget went above their roles and responsibilities to make our wedding happen. I owe a debt of gratitude to them. You will not find a team of people who will help you put on a magical wedding as Noor does.Noor is not a typical choice for an Indian wedding but my wife and I are not typical people. We wanted a venue that can host 300 people, which had a certain style of modernity and class, and be different than a hotel ballroom where we didn’t have to build ambiance with so much decor. My wife and I researched over 40 places and visited 15 of them. Noor was the best one by far. At first we were trepid as we were one of the first Indian weddings the site has hosted (they’ve done Sangeets, engagements, etc.) but not an end-to-end Indian wedding. Paige Black, event space manager, could not have been more accommodating. She helped us with the fire permits for both the wedding ceremony and caterer, saving us on permit costs. She helped coordinate to ensure that we can bring a horse over the bridge for a Baraat. She worked well with all the vendors and coordinate all the pre-wedding tasks. She was responsive, lovely to deal with and had an always positive, can do attitude. Our wedding would not have happened without her.My wedding was done on a budget but from the pictures, you’d think I spent double. That’s because Noor was that beautiful, that well designed and had a staff that ensured our wedding remained as beautiful as our dreams desired. I recommend to anyone who’s thinking about choosing a venue to seek Noor out. You will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 21-06-2017

If I had it to do over I would have used them all over again. The food was absolutely incredible. I have honestly never had such amazing wedding food and received so many compliments from my guests. Our vendors also had fantastic things to say while they were dealing with the venue day of the wedding and even prior. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Reviewed on 15-11-2016
Zachary Goodwin(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2016 We held our wedding in the Ella ballroom on 11/4/16 and I can't say enough great things about this venue and their staff. This was the first venue my wife and I visited and from our first meeting with Robert, we were pretty well convinced this was the place. They were open about their prices (no hidden fees) and what all was included and they are amazingly organized and made setting up our day breeze. We got so many glowing reviews of how elegant and beautiful the venue was and I can't thank Robert, Amin, and their whole team enough. Reviewed on 15-11-2016
Melanie Salazar(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2016 We got married at Noor on Septmeber 30, 2016 and it was everything I could've asked for and more! The staff was wonderful and made the planning such a breeze. Bridget Ann and Paige were always so ready to assist me with any questions and helped me stay on track with information that I needed to provide for them. If you want a beautiful wedding with a blissful planning process Noor is the place to go. Reviewed on 25-10-2016
Bo Chan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2015 So many positive things to say about Noor, where to start? First of all the entire staff is wonderful. We worked mostly with Bridget Ann throughout the process and she was extremely helpful and easy to work with. They are very detailed and specific about every associated cost so there are no surprises (something we didn't necessarily see at other venues), they are super responsive to any questions that come up along the way, they provide great suggestions for how to make the event even more special, and on the day-of they are there for you at the drop of a dime without being in the way. The space is absolutely beautiful, it hardly even needs decoration. I can't thank them enough for consistently being so easy to work with through all the crazy and scary planning months. They won't let you go wrong! Also the value is excellent, worth every penny and more. Reviewed on 23-08-2015

We just had our wedding at NOOR and it was great. Everything was perfect. The best thing about NOOR is that everything was included in one package: venue, rentals, catering and drinks. That made the organization super easy. The other great thing about NOOR is that everyone there is super friendly and responsive. Robert, the owner, who worked with us, is super nice and was extremely accommodating, helping us setting-up the wedding exactly how we wanted it (many places don't do that!) in terms of decor, food, organization and drinks from the first to the last day. He was always available even when we called him or emailed him at the craziest hours with the most weird requests... The day of the wedding everything looked immaculate. The organization and the service were impeccable. The food was great, of great quality, prepared well, and abundant (so were the drinks...). Everything went very smooth. Considering the service we received, we had a great value for our wedding. Everyone enjoyed the food, the venue and the party, including us! Thanks NOOR! Reviewed on 19-08-2015
Laressa Bethishou(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-02-2015 As far as the wedding itself, I would hands down give NOOR 5 stars. The day of was perfect. The food was incredible, the service was great and the venue itself is very cute and has a nice bar area and outdoor balcony which overlooks Pasadena city hall. All my guests loved it and both my husband and I were very happy with how amazing our actual wedding was.\r\rThe one star is deducted for service prior to the wedding. If you are considering this venue be aware that they are not always great communicators. That was consistently our biggest problem. Before you sign on for this venue, try to get all your questions answered, read your contract carefully and get everything in writing. \r\rOverall they put together a beautiful wedding.

Veronica gonzalez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2014 THE BEST! LAVISH, HIP, SLEEK VENUE! \rI recently had my wedding at the Noor, (June 16 2014). The business is owned by an Amazingly warm and down to earth couple. We had the pleasure of working with Robert, I loved him he was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. He gave us the VIP treatment and made my family and myself feel like we were part of his family. \r\rAs for the staff... Unbelievable!!! They went above and beyond and share the same love and passion for the job as the owners do! (Which is very rare) my guest were completely shocked how amazing and attentive they were.\r\rAs for the food.. Sooo freakin delish!! We had a food tasting which let us customize our food choices. We had the seared chicken breast with citrus sauce veggies and mashed potatoes for dinner, Caesar salad. And of course appetizers. Everything hot and ready to serve, and beyond delish. Normally cooking for large groups of people can be favor less.. But not here! \r\rAs for the location.. Best location ever!!! It's in the heart of old town Pasadena! Right on Colorado street, What more can you ask for! The ballrooms are elegant lavish sexy young hip stylish! I loved my venue! \r\rAll together Noor was an amazing! I wouldn't change a single thing!

Alexandra Santiago(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2014 To brides and grooms; \rthis venue is absolutely beautiful. There is a space outside that they cover with a huge white drape for privacy and you have your ceremony around a small fountain. The venue rooms where you have your reception are clean and sheek looking, with lighting on the walls to set the mood. But most important is that they take care of you. They have an enormous number of staff members that are there for your every need. There is nothing that they didn't help take care of. The have a beautiful foyer where the guest have drinks and chat. I would have any future events thrown here and will recommended to any bride to consider this place. Our venue coordinator was amazing. His name is Amin and he is extremely nice and patient. They throw weddings every weekend but he makes you feel like yours is the most important one he is organizing. Thank you Amin for your patience. Thank you Robert (owner) for your kindness. Thank you Noor for the memories. Reviewed on 11-06-2014
Anna Minasian(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2012 There is not one word to describe Nora however, if it came down to choose one word it would have to be amazing. She manage to turn chaos into something beautiful and unforgettable. Thanks to Nora my special day was completely stress free. Not only did she stay for most of my wedding but she left me with an amazing crew and crew manager Garik and Hamid. Hands down Nora is number one for any of my future events. It was a pleasure working with her and her stunning banquet hall Noor Ella. Reviewed on 19-09-2012

Jenny Corona(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2011 Noor Pasadena is an amazingly beautiful venue! I had both my wedding ceremony and reception here - the ceremony in the Noor Terrace and the reception in the Noor Sofia Ballroom. Both were stunning! \r\rWe worked directly with one of the owners, Robert and received great service. Robert was incredibly prompt when responding to all e-mails and phone calls. He was very flexible and helped ensure every detail of my wedding vision was executed. My husband and I created a custom menu which turned out a million times better than we could have ever expected. Head chef, Anthony, was wonderful! Our guests raved about the food. \r\rA couple of downsides: the Noor Terrace is beautiful, but it is a public space. We had draping around the entire perimeter, but there was a lot of noise from the surrounding restaurants. We were double booked for our ceremony time and ended up having to change our time. The venue was as accommodating as possible, but this was very frustrating none the less. Be specific with contract details when signing. Reviewed on 09-10-2011
LISA PARMELEE(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2011 great location and wonderful service for being available at the last minute. the event coordinator was a little bit unwilling to change a few things I had set up with my coordinator, but she was swayed with a little coaxing. We have a wine connossuier (sp?) or two in our party and wanted special wines. the GM never got the wine list to the event coordinator for us in enoug time to select anything better than a house wine, so we were disappointed, but the guests never knew...
