The Grand Long Beach Event Center

The food is amazing. My wedding was 2 weeks ago and I have family still telling me how good the food was. They are very generous with their alcohol in the mixed drinks. I honestly coiuld not say anything bad about this place. Viviana was my sales person and she is a sweetheart.

This place is beautiful. The food was incredible. Alex was our coordinator and she was more than helpful. They really take care of their clients.

Had our wedding ceremony in the Palm Terrace and our reception in the garden room. Received many positive compliments on the location, hors d'oeuvres and dinner. Alex Weiss was our coordinator and she was a pleasure to work with. She was very helpful with all my questions and always responded in a timely manner. The staff was very professional from the servers to the bartenders.

If we could do it all over again we would definitely do it at The Grand. Everything was perfect from the rep who helped us (Viviana), to the food, decor, and service. They are the absolute best at what they do. We are want to have our 10th Anniversary there as well! Thanks for everything The Grand!

My husband and I worked with Viviana at the Grand for our wedding event. I can't tell you how wonderful our experience with her was. She always emailed or called us back the same day, and if she was busy, she would let us know so that we weren't waiting and waiting for her. Everyone said how good the food was. We chose the salmon and prime rib for our guests and everyone said how tasty the salmon was, and how tender the meat was. The appetizers were also a huge hit with the salmon and cracker bar. The waitstaff was polite and made sure we were okay. All our vendors had a very easy time with the Grand. The Grand provides a cake when you book with them, and we chose Torrance Bakery, which was also a pleasant experience and had the best cake. I would highly recommend this venue for your special event. They really do take care of you, and Viviana is the sweetest person to work with there.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the Grand. Viviana, our sales person, was so helpful and responsive to all of my requests, I must have emailed her dozens of times with questions and she responded quickly every time. They were professionals in every aspect. Our reception room was set up complete with table linens by 9:30am for a 6pm start time. So i was able to do last minute set up there myself and not be stressed for time. Also, I received many compliments on how good the food was - we served chicken with melted goat cheese. It was delicious. I would highly recommend the Grand to anyone for ceremonies and receptions.

the grand was very helpful in helping me plan my wedding. the staff was wonderful! they were polite and very helpful and treated my guests and my husband and i with the utmost respect. I had a wonderful time on my wedding day. i loved it especially because we did everything at one venue, including ceremony. good times!

We just had our wedding and reception at The Grand. All of the details were taken care of to our satisfaction. We had no worries on the day of the event. We had a wonderful wait staff and contact person. All of our vendors were pleased. All of the planning--from the booking of the room, to the tasting, to the menu selection--were all very straightforward and easy. They were even able to accommodate our small (75) number of guests.

The Grand was a delight to work with. They are VERY attentive, will help you set up your menu. The tasting was amazing, and so was the final result at the wedding! They will also let you switch out some things on your menu if you get a package which was very nice. Their servers were friendly and made sure to check with guests often even though it was a buffet. Don't hesitate to use them, they do a wonderful job.

From start to finish, this venue was nothing short of exceptional. The site inside and out are beautiful. The food is amazing and a fantastic value for the price. They included all the linens, chairs, cake, and much more in their reasonable package pricing. The staff is fantastic too! I recommend this venue to everyone having a wedding in Southern California!

I'm am so happy I chose The Grand for my wedding reception. They staff was so very helpful, the coordinator whop worked wit me (Jodi) was awesome and they just helped my whole day go by without a single problem. all of my guests loved the food, the facility was absolutley beautiful. it was the reception of my dreams. i highly recommend The Grand for the bride/groom that's look for a high quality one stop shop for their wedding reception. having it here alleviated so much stress.

The Grand made our 'wedding dreams' come true!!! EVERYBODY was blown away with the Grand Ballroom and the service. Lisa McIntyre is phenomenal!!! She was always available to answer our questions and made the wedding planning so easy!!! I would, and do, recommend The Grand to any couple that wants the best value for their money and a wedding that will have people talking for months....ours did!!! =)

Soomin is great

My rep was Alexandra Weiss she was very professional and very nice. My day of coordinator was Beto and he was amazing! The Master Chef kept coming in and checking in on us. The waiters were very attentive and noticed that my husband and I had been running around and brought us appetizers to our table! They were so sweet. We had been to the tasting and loved the food but we didn't realize the portions would be so generous! We received so many compliments on the food. So many of our guests said how great the food was and they were actually full, and that usually does not happen at weddings. =) There was one minor problem, they gave us Fruit Punch instead of Pink Lemonade but if that was the worst of my worries, I was ok with that. I would recommend them in a...

Viviana was a great event coordinator and ensured we had an amazing event!

My husband and I decided to get married at the last minute. We were going to go to the court and get married and my mom and sister in law said NO WAY! So we has a month to put together a ceremony that was going to accomodate 65 guests. The Grand was AMAZING!!!! The staff was so helpful and we got the mexican buffett and the food was sooo good!! I can't tell you how many compliments we got on our wedding. Lots of parking.... You can't beat their prices either :-)

IÂ’d recommend the use of this very accommodating venue to any bride to be! The venue staff, food and location were ideal! I'm still receiving compliments on how great the food tasted the location, the wait staff and the room. Thanks for making my day special.

Although, The Grand was not a choice we made (it is the only caterer you can have at the EBM Japanese Garden), it is the best choice in the Long Beach area. The food is so amazing, we talked them into letting us come to two tastings (I so needed one for the wedding and one for the rehearsal dinner ;). Becky was so accommodating and we got everything we wanted.

Very, very pleased with this reception venue. Very professional, the site it beautiful and was a perfect fit for what we were looking for. Also very accommodating to last minute changes.

The grand has the best food i have ever tasted for a wedding. The grand was a great place to have my wedding. Alex weiss was my coordinator and she was great. My only complaints are that initially i was not told that the 5 hour reception time included my ceremony time which i was not happy about. The owner Mr. Ryan choura met with me and fixed the issue and now they have it stated in their brochure. Alex is good with responding to your emails and having you come in to talk if you have questions. The only have two food tastings a year so you will have to plan for that or pay for your own personal tasting. They dont give you alot of set up time before your event because someone could be using it before you do. Wedding rehearsals are complimentary which i was never told until one week before my wedding and i had to rehearse in another room....not too happy about that. They set up your room on your wedding day and the banquet captain...i cant remember his name.....he was so nice and professional!!! The salmon was moist from start to finish,the chicken marsala was great,strawberry lemonade was perfect,chocolate fountain was great,and we even got a few things free just for booking our wedding. Their prices for sunday wedding was the best in the whole county!!! Our package included EVErything for a great flat rate without service charge and tax......food,cake,champagne,apple cider,table,linens,microphone etc. I absolutely love this venue and will be back to celebrate our 5 or 10 year anniversary in the same monarch ballroom!! Overall this place is great but needs to get a little better with stating everything at the initial consultation.....like the little details for ceremony and rehearsal.
