It’s always cause for joy when two people find each other and fall in love, not always an easy thing to do in this world. Now that laws are changing with the times, and marriage in California and other states is available to same-sex couples, we’d like to help you celebrate. To begin, we have a staff of wedding planners committed to making your wedding everything you want it to be. Our collaborative team and hand-picked vendors will work with you to get every detail just right, from flower arrangements to table settings, from food to décor, from the lighting to the music. Creating new traditions or honoring the old, we will move mountains to make sure your special day is flawless. We Can Help You Plan the Wedding of Your Dreams For smaller events, our modern Legacy Lounge and lavish Le Foyer Lounge each accommodates 70 guests, and the new open air Patio at Brandview accommodates 100 guests and is ideal for daytime or nighttime weddings. For larger events, consider the Legacy Ballroom, Glenoaks Ballroom, Brandview Ballroom, or Le Foyer Ballroom. Look through our image gallery for full 360-degree tours of each space. If you don’t have the picture of your perfect wedding in mind yet, our planners will listen to your ideas and use their own experience and expertise to bring them together in the most creative and cost-effective way possible. It’s Your Special Day — Make the Most of It Many same-sex couples want to put their own spin on what’s always been the typical wedding reception, breaking away from the routine that calls for a first dance, a dance with parents, a cake-cutting, and a bouquet (or boutonniere) toss. We say go for it! Your wedding should reflect your own taste and personalities, and should be a day made to order for the two of you. You may want a cocktail reception followed by a formal dinner, or decide to have a lavish cocktail buffet instead. Our catering and bartending staff will be delighted to create a custom menu that suits your style and is presented with impeccable flair. We’re also happy to help you locate entertainment that will keep your guests engaged without the traditional wedding formula. As you know, the Los Angeles area has many fine professional musicians and performers who can add a special touch to the festivities. For example, you may not want to hire the entire 250-strong Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, but members of the chorus are available to perform for you in groups ranging from a dozen to one hundred voices and are certain to bring the house down. At the other end of the spectrum, there are wonderful solo pianists, cellists, and classical guitar players, as well as anything else you can imagine. Same-sex couples are forging new territory and making new traditions, and L.A. Banquets is eager to make the experience an authentic expression of your commitment and a true joy for you and your guests.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect outdoor location for a wedding or party, you’ll find what you’ve been hoping for at the new Patio at Brandview. Already known for its elegant ballrooms, L.A. Banquets has expanded to include this spacious open-air deck that takes advantage of our spectacular year-round weather. It’s such a natural, we don’t know why we didn’t think of it sooner. Accommodating 100 guests, an event on the Patio combines L.A. Banquet’s know-how with the best of Southern California living. Whatever kind of event you’re thinking of, the Patio can be adapted to suit it. Imagine taking your vows beneath a twinkling canopy of stars. Following the ceremony, your guests will enjoy artisan cocktails and dinner prepared by Anoush master chefs. After the meal, your guests can retire to the welcoming couches in the Patio’s lounge, with fire elements to warm any breeze, and a customizable hookah bar. If you decide on the more formal and larger-capacity Brandview Ballroom for your wedding, consider including the Patio in your plans as a quiet retreat for intimate conversation during the cocktail hour or as the ideal spot for a late after-party. The Patio is also beautifully suited to daytime events. What could be lovelier than a wedding lunch under the clear blue Southern California sky? Think about an alfresco bridal shower or a celebratory luncheon after a christening or other special ceremony or event. The Patio’s fountains will add soft, soothing sounds to the background as your guests savor the finest Anoush Catering has to offer. You can even add an ice cream bar for the sweetest of treats. Thinking of an early evening cocktail reception to entertain clients or reward employees for a job well done? The Patio at Brandview is an exceptional spot for mingling. It offers a unique and tranquil setting in the heart of Glendale. High above the sounds of the city, the clamor of the workday will be forgotten as your guests refresh themselves while sipping cocktails and feasting on an unsurpassed array of hors d’oeuvres. Brandview Ballroom Exciting changes have also been taking place in the elegant Brandview Ballroom. The bar has been completely redesigned with dramatic flair. LED-lit colored shelves reflect in the new mirrors, and a virtual fireplace lends an enchanting glow. We’ve also added the services of Anoush Signature bartenders to dazzle guests with their showmanship. Their flaming shot towers are something to see! Anoush specialty cocktails are the best in town. Offer your guests a wide selection or choose several from our extensive menu including Passion Island Mojitos, Lemon Drops of Love, Amaretto Orangesicle Kisses, and the amazing Wonka’s Flaming Chocolate Bar Martini. If you’d prefer, the Anoush Signature staff can create a delicious cocktail just for you and your event. We’ll name it for you and display it on electronic screens above the bar for all to see. Because of our special relationship with Anoush, the bartending staff members are also available to add their style and expertise to special events at other locations. Glenoaks Ballroom and Le Foyer Ballroom L.A. Banquets’ Glenoaks Ballroom in Glendale and Le Foyer Ballroom in NoHo have also undergone stunning changes, with new gleaming white dance floors to enhance their European glamour.
