WEDDING VENUE REVIEWS

My experience at Noor for our wedding was nothing short of AMAZING. From the moment we started planning we experienced impeccable service. The venue itself is stunning, with beautifully fountain and elegant architecture that provided the perfect backdrop for the vibe of our ceremony and reception. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from setting up the decorations to coordinating with our vendors seamlessly.

The amenities at the venue were top-notch, from the spacious bridal suite where we got ready, to the picturesque spaces where our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. catering provided was delicious, exceeding our expectations. Overall, choosing Noor for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.

I held my wedding ceremony at Noor’s Sofia banquet room and let me just say they were amazing! They were so so easy to work with and reasonably priced. My wedding ceremony went so smoothly. Stephany was so amazing to work with. I highly recommend!

NOOR is such a beautiful venue, perfect for our celestial-themed wedding. The NOOR staff were easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. They were able to accommodate so many of our needs from ADA accessibility, to food accommodations for allergens, to outdoor table placements. We booked the outdoor terrace for the ceremony and the Sofia ballroom, only a few feet away, for the reception both of which hosted 80 guests.

The terrace where the ceremony was held was guarded by security so we had no issues with anyone in the area or any wedding crashers. The drapery really made it private and a beautiful space. Water was put out for guests since it was a late afternoon wedding in August. The sound quality was great. Walking over the bridge to see the view of downtown Pasadena coming to the wedding ceremony terrace was beautiful.

The bar inside the Sofia ballroom is so classy, and the walk in on a red carpet, through the gold gates, surrounded by a greenery wall made all our guests feel like they were Hollywood celebrities- and so did being greeted by a champagne tower at the bar! It was a really fun cocktail hour with a lot of seating, especially out on the posh outdoor balcony. There are a few screens throughout the bar and balcony where we played a slideshow of pictures of us, family, and friends on as well. Again, the sound quality was excellent.

The food was absolutely delicious. We had the chicken and salmon meals, our guests who had the vegan ratatouille said it was some of the best ratatouille they’ve ever had (and these people are foodies), and the passed d’oeuvres of mac n cheese balls (everyone loved these), chicken pot stickers, and vegan plantain bruschetta were all delicious! All 80 quests, including those with meal accommodation changes, were served dinner quickly and we got a lot of compliments on the food. The drinks were incredible and the bar service was fast. We did an open bar and champagne.

Their preferred vendor list is great, everyone was so professional, accommodating, easy to work with, and great at their jobs.

Finally, our wedding wouldn’t have come together without the hard work from the Event Management Department, especially Merissa. Thank you NOOR, our wedding was perfect! 🙂

Beautiful venue for any event, recently attended a private birthday for a friend, very classy set up from room to room, from the servers to bartending staff were great as well. I loved their patio great view of Colorado Blvd. Need to come back for the rose parade, the view must be killer.

Overall the whole place seemed magical felt like I was on a movie set, very thing seemed perfect, even the restrooms offered a classic vibe.

NOOR was the best! We booked it as our venue a year and a half in advance just from what we saw on theknot! A year before our wedding date we had our first in-person visit and it was just as beautiful as in photos. The staff was extremely helpful and responsive. The team worked with us on scheduling all visits and was flexible since we don’t live near Pasadena. The week before, our site manager helped us change our ceremony from outdoors to indoors due to weather. On the day-of the staff was attentive, friendly, accommodating and communicative. The inclusion packages were awesome and our guests could not stop raving about the food! We’d highly recommend NOOR to anyone who wants their wedding in Pasadena.

I’m not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at NOOR. When beginning to look around for venues, I had done a quick Google search for places which accommodate small weddings in LA. NOOR was the first venue I chose to peruse. I decided to call, and the minute I spoke with Robert (who was very quick to respond), I knew we had found our location. To begin with, Robert is a kind, lovely man, who genuinely wants to make your event perfect. Being musicians who lost ALL work during the “shutdown”, we were working with an embarrassingly small budget. Robert was very tactful and kind when explained our situation, and helped us find the perfect options for us. Honestly, absolutely everything provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy – made seamless by Kaelan, our event manager (who is also hard-working and very sweet). Robert and Kaelan made every effort to accommodate us in every way to make it the most special day for us. They were always quick to respond, making communication simple. All aspects of the contract were clearly explained, and the timeline / due dates were easy to follow. We held our reception in the stunning, tastefully designed Art Deco foyer, as we only had around 50 people. The table settings were gorgeous, the drinks were perfect, and the plated meals and their presentation were outstanding. I love that NOOR’s packages include the linens, plates, silverware, glassware, gratuities, and other fees – we didn’t have to stress about a thing! Speaking of the packages offered, NOOR has amazing options for any budget! For our ceremony, we were supposed to be married on the pretty patio, but unfortunately, it rained that morning. Despite the last-minute change to hold the ceremony indoors (which was still beautiful), the day of our event went perfectly. During the reception, the staff were amazing and kind to everyone, and treated us, literally, like royalty. Our friends and family raved for weeks about how incredible everything was, saying it was the perfect mix of class and unpretentiousness. Even my 8 year old son could not believe the quality of everything and has declared he, too, will be married at NOOR! 😂 I cannot recommend this venue, and all of it’s staff, enough. I wish we could host more events there! A million thanks to Robert and Kaelan for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

The first thing we noticed about Noor is that Robert finds a way to say yes to all our dreams! My daughter, the creative bride, wanted a special space full of warmth and cheer. Noor made everything a terrific success! Robert gave us our own sweet hand holder, Kaylan, who made our lives so easy! Also, Noor worked so well with our wedding planner Nicole Harris at Dreams in Detail and together they found a way to create a fantasy ballroom beyond our wildest dreams!
The food was spectacular and the service impeccable! We had over 200 guests and everyone got special attention. We were given the option to put and the appetizers and main courses at the table so people could help themselves. Top shelf alcohol adorned each table so, of course, our flowers by Lark Flowers were placed very high so they would show. Noor let Lark Flowers put a truss so the flowers all over the ballroom could cascade down in its beauty!
We enjoyed lamb chops, the salmon, the best appetizers, the most delicious hors d’oeuvres and more!
Security was subtle and so excellent that our high profile guests took off their sunglasses and had such a great time!
I cannot think of one place in California that could have set the ambiance, elegance and superb comfort Noor is able to naturally create!
We will always remember with delight the joy we had at Noor in Pasadena!

My husband and I held our wedding at Noor’s Sophia ballroom in September 2024.

Robert & Stefany were very easy to talk to and were always accessible & flexible. We were always able to reach out to them with questions, and I loved how they go over everything step-by-step from the contract to the nitty gritty details such as color of tablecloth. Stefany was a huge help in getting those details hammered out.

The venue itself is so beautiful. Sophia’s bar is glamorous, the bathrooms are pristine, and the hors d’oeuvres were so yummy! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in the same location, and that was a huge bonus. Even our handicapped Grammy was able to maneuver through the venue with ease.

Thank you so much to Noor for providing such a beautiful venue for our wedding. We love you guys, and we hope we can hold more events at your location!!

We have hosted our annual fundraising luncheon at NOOR for the past several years (three in-person events) and they have never disappointed! The staff is always attentive, very thorough and extremely willing to go above and beyond to make our event a success. Their event space is beautiful and well equipped. We even had our event outside on the terrace last year and it was beautiful. I would highly recommend contacting Robert and his staff with any size event you have – big or small.

Noor was a wonderful venue to get married at! My husband and I got married this month and felt so supported by the Noor team.

Due to a fire at a our original venue, we found Noor 5 months prior to our planned wedding date. Robert and Merissa made us feel welcome and taken care of from the start. We really needed a place that felt professional and like we were in good hands, and they really delivered!

Our pre-wedding meetings put any worries at ease, and questions were answered any time we had them. The day went off flawlessly, not only thank to the Noor planning team, but also to their wonderful bar and food service staff. Noor also is wonderful for its great central location in Pasadena, and easy to find for our guests.

I highly recommend

Noor Pasadena deserves more than just five stars for its phenomenal service during the Roaring 20s Benefit and Auction, organized by Boston Court Pasadena. As the Development and Event Manager, I was thoroughly impressed.

Noor’s commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of the event. The full-service catering was a culinary masterpiece, leaving our guests delighted. The attentive and friendly servers, along with the efficient bar staff, ensured that our guests were well-fed and had a fantastic time.

What truly sets Noor apart is their dedication to flawless event execution. The team’s attention to detail, from setup to the event’s final moments, was impeccable. Aileen & Robert were a pleasure to work with. Noor turned our vision into a reality, surpassing all expectations.

If you’re searching for a venue that provides a beautiful setting and exceptional service, look no further than Noor Pasadena. They are the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. Our event’s success is a testament to their commitment to excellence.

Thank you so much Noor and it’s amazing staff, we had our wedding here on June 22 2024, just a couple of weeks ago, and our day was absolutely amazing! Everything ran so well from
the beginning to the end! We actually booked Noor around 2 years ago, since we are both teachers, we took advantage of our summer break, and began venue searching around 2022. We met Robert, and his impeccable service stood out from all the other venue tours we did that summer, and we did around 6-7 venue tours . Right from the start Robert was very transparent and honest with what Noor had to offer, and he answered all of our questions, not to mention the beautiful venue spoke for it self as well ! Through out our planning period, we also had a lot of assistance from Stefany, our event manager at Noor, thank you Stefany for your amazing service. Also, thank you to the amazing bartenders who made such delicious cocktails cheers!

Every January our company hosts a Banquet for our employees. It’s a dressy affair with awards, dancing, cocktails and dinner. We have used Noor for the past 6 years. Why? The service is excellent. The food always gets raves. The space is very upscale and lovely. Best of all…Noor is reasonably priced for the level of quality and service. I highly recommend this venue for any type of event!!!

Noor really is the premier event space in Pasadena. They are a great venue: clean, gorgeous, elegant and very workable for a lot of different kinds of events. Noor staff is great to work with. They are helpful and have great ideas to make any event better. (And the bartenders are terrific). We have done large events with multiple partners and always had a great experience. Robert and his staff are the best!
