St Joseph Hall

My friend held the party for his daughter’s quinceanera here; it was a huge hit! 2 live bands played, and nobody left unhappy. I had a few beers, and several large shots of reposado that was as easy as water to drink. I told the bartender not to dare ruin it with ice or anything else. I said I want it just how it comes out of the bottle. Fortunately, I didn’t overindulge. I can understand someone doing so with that, though.nI’d never been to a quinceanera before, and speak very little Spanish. Had a great time, anyway.nThe food was good, and the place was decked out really great. I’ve been to bigger parties, but not any that were as impressive. All the other girls that were there will feel slighted, at theirs, especially his daughter’s cousins, because I just can’t see how it could be matched. The birthday girl got everything; necklace, earrings, bracelet, a couple pairs of really nice boots, hat, and much more.nI’m waiting on him getting the pictures from the photographer/videographer. One I want is of myself, decked out in a fine suit. I found that less dressy clothes would have been fine, but hadn’t known. My respect for my amigo demanded that I dress in a manner honoring the occasion, and I did. I think I was the best-dressed man there. I left at about 11:30, though it was slated to go until at least 2:00 AM. I had to leave, or have more to drink, and had reached my 6 1/2 hour self imposed limit. I wasn’t going to drive under the influence, especially 20 or so miles of mostly freeway.nThat guy does know how to party!nSome of my pictures show a lot of empty chairs; it was early on. I estimate over 400 attended, and the place was full. I didn’t hear of them running out of anything. The first band played a really long set, and the second one was playing hard when I left.nI read a couple of unfavorable reviews; maybe those were the fault of the people putting on the party, and not the place.

Overall the experience here was good but there were a few minor details that could have been better like the provider said.nnIf you rent here for any event, specifically say what all will be included.nWe were told only to bring Napkins & Beverages.nWe almost got the short hand on Cups & Plates for the cake. We had to ask for multiple times until they gave us some.

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HALL! We booked this hall almost 2 years ago for my daughters quince which is next year and decided that due to several people telling us about how bad their experience was with them, we canceled the contract - we had given $2,000 deposit and per the contract if we canceled within 90 days of the event (which we notified him almost a year before the event) we were entitled to 50% of our deposit back. He said via text, oh that is not what the contract says but every paper that says the word CONTRACT says that and we even sent him pics. Now we are going to take him to small claims court for our $1,000 - it is not that we are desperate for the money but it is about the principal of what his paperwork says. He couldn't care less about the fact that he is messing with people's cherished events that they will never get back. Save your heartache and find a better place that will be honest and do what they say they will - if you don't believe me, keep reading the rest of the reviews. He has even been investigated by Telemundo for fraud.

This is the 2nd time I've heard of the salon running out of tortillas. I went to a 15th party and sure enough ran out of food and tortillas. Also this place is really hot so you might want to think about it twice before renting it if renting during summer time.

Nothing on the contract was accomplished. Not enough food. Place was contracted for 500 people, they only had place for 300. Cake was not what was promised. El gerente es muy informal, no cumple lo que esta en el contrato.
