Beautiful venue but, had the worst time there if you sit on the 2nd floor you do not get served dinner .. also you can not take a bottle in cause the have a cash bar that want to charge you $250 for their bottle of liquor, then one can soda and a cup of ice cost me $6 . I will never attend another social event there again.

Imma start off by saying it is a beautiful venue and our wedding was beautiful. Contract was signed over a year before the wedding date, With someone that no longer is employed here, she was so wonderful and welcoming. She sold us off top. During the year wasn t so pleasant. But got thru it. Then the day of the event was a different story. So much to list i rather not say. But i will say that when the event was close to be over, we were rushed out before midnight and left items behind due them wanting to rush and get it ready for the bridal open house the next day. So as stated, it s a beautiful place. But once your day gets there just see how you re treated.

Beautiful place but after charging an arm and a leg, staff passes out cake and snacks and if you are not sitting down at that time you miss out. They can at list anounce it. Chocolate fountain too pricey to get 2 marshmallows with chocolate.

Emporium by Yarlen is an amazing venue! The attention to detail given to my daughters Quinceañera made it MAGICAL! Cinthia was a pleasure to work with. From booking to the day of the event, she was very professional, friendly, and very helpful. The day of the event, she communicated well with me and made sure I was aware of all details throughout the evening. The actual amenities of the venue are phenomenal. I loved that we were able to arrive at the venue at 10am and use the vanity rooms throughout the morning to get my daughter and myself ready. I LOVED the convenience of that. The entire place is immaculately clean and shiny! Thank you for the wonderful & memorable experience!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.
