Wedding Reception Venue Options in Pasadena

Your reception should be special but sometimes it can be a headache trying to deal with all the details. Luckily, choosing Pasadena for a wedding reception venue gives you access to a plethora of professionals to help with the planning.

  • Catering
    Whether you are having 50 people or 5,000, you know you have to have food, so get a catering company to take care of all that for you. They can work with you on the menu and preparation plans or you can just let them run the whole show. Either way, it will be much easier for you.

  • Florist

  • Furniture and Equipment Rental
    Even if the Pasadena wedding reception venue you choose comes with tables and chairs, you will likely still need to rent some of the other things you need. For example, you may need a karaoke system, lighting, or photo booth for your guests to enjoy.

  • Photographer and Videographer
    Speaking of photos, you will need a photographer for your reception because as many pictures as your guests and family take, they will not be the same quality as a professional can give you. You want to remember this day forever so get a photographer and maybe a videographer as well.

Pros and Cons of Wedding Reception Venue in Pasadena

Even a fantastic city like Pasadena has its cons as well as its pros. No town is perfect after all. Let’s look at the pros and cons of having a Pasadena wedding reception venue.

Advantages

  • The weather
    You just cannot beat the weather with an average high of 79 degrees, an average low of 54 degrees, and over 300 sunny days per year.

Disadvantages

  • High cost of living
    Like many cities in California, the price of everything is higher than most cities in the US. Plan on spending more for anything you buy.

  • Traffic
    With all of the attractions and amazing weather, traffic can be rough, especially around the time of the Rose Bowl.
