We rented this hall for our daughter's quinceañera and I want to say that there are no regrets, Mayra and her husband are very kind and understanding and gave us detailed information of everything that was included, they were super helpful all along, always answering our questions and concerns. Our guests loved the venue and how everything was so organized and decorated. We are very grateful with Mayra, her husband and all the staff. I would definitely recommend them and be back for our next event. Thank you!!

Urban Palms was an absolutely fabulous wedding venue — I wouldn’t have changed a single thing! The space is stunning, and the pricing was very reasonable. They were also incredibly accommodating with our budget, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest highlights was that the venue includes catering through Critics Choice Catering. Having the catering and tableware handled in-house removed so much stress from the planning process. Kaycie was wonderful to work with — so enthusiastic, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. From our very first tour to the food tasting and final details meeting, she listened carefully to our needs and was always quick to respond to every text or call. Everything turned out picture-perfect, and it was magical seeing the venue completely transformed for our big day. Kaycie also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which saved me so much time since I didn’t have a lot of time to plan. We used her suggested photographer, florist, and bridal party makeup team — and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend doing the day-of coordination with Kaycie and her team. I didn’t have to answer a single question on my wedding day — everything ran seamlessly. The coordinators were amazing, especially when I had a bustle mishap with my dress and they fixed it in seconds! They truly catered to us all evening, greeting us with drinks and appetizers upon arrival and keeping the entire timeline running perfectly. We hosted our cocktail hour in the Palm Court with our photo booth, enjoyed an intimate dinner in the Promenade with a beautiful U-shaped table setup, had our first dances and dance floor on the Lido Deck, and finished with cake cutting and a lounge area on the Sky Deck. It was incredibly romantic and such a unique use of the space. The venue is conveniently located right off the 405 freeway, but the walls are soundproof — you can’t hear any traffic at all. Plus, there’s a huge parking lot, so no valet is needed. Overall, Urban Palms is a beautiful, well-organized, and stress-free venue. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to have a truly magical wedding day!

The Edison Theatre 
Long Beach, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

The building that houses The Edison Theatre was first built in 1917 and served as a venue for various retail businesses until it was rebranded as a movie theater and named The Edison Theatre in 1922, and was likely named after inventor Thomas Edison to honor Edison's contributions to technology and his impact on the world of entertainment, reflecting the era's fascination with his inventions. It was also known for its opulent decor. Changes in the theatre business and urban renewal spurred by the declining fortunes of the downtown area finished almost all of them. In 1998 the Edison Theatre was built out as a performing arts space for the Cal State Long Beach California Repertory Company that was affiliated with the California Long Beach University's theater department until its departure in 2006. Its current incarnation serves as an entertainment venue for banquet receptions, corporate meetings, art exhibitions and concerts.
