White House Banquets & Event Center Reviews

Had Our Daughter's Debut (18th Birthday) @ the White House Event Center this past weekend and everything was on point and amazing! We had a guest count of 300 and couldn't have chosen a better venue than the White House! We received the best feedback from a handful of our guests! Every item on our food menu was delicious and delicious is actually an understatement! Our point of contact @ the venue, Omar was such a very patient, kind person to work & his attentiveness to any questions was always on point! He made sure to remind us of certain things and also suggest other things! Yanely was the manager on duty the night of our event and she was great with checking in and being on timeline! Alex was another person who we had to have a few conversations with regarding our event this past year and she as well was nice and pleasure to always speak with! The staff members we encountered were all very nice and communicative, which was a big deal for us! Definitely recommend this venue! You cannot go wrong by choosing the White House Event Center as your venue! Beyond pleased, happy and blessed!

The Whitehouse Banquets & Event Center is hands down the best!!!! It just doesn’t get better than Omar and his team when it comes event productions. My sister and her fiance had both their Nigerian and Christian weddings at this venue. From beginning to end everything was such a beautiful and enchanting experience ❤️❤️❤️!!! I highly recommend using their in-house coordination services, they know how to bring your vision to life and have the patience to work with any bridezilla lol. The layout of the space is sooo lovely and photographs well in wedding photos!!! They have packages to accommodate all your needs and wants. I also really loved the bride and groom dressing rooms, it gave my sister and her husband breathing space. Now, the dance floor is totally a vibe and hwas well used!!! It was cool how it lights up and gasses up during the first dance of the newlyweds. Overall it is a 10/10 and you are guaranteed a great wedding!!!!

Our experience with The White House was beyond amazing! Since day 1 Help us to make our special day, more incredible even!
He took care of all the details that we wanted to happen and was a good leader for our team!
We had a blast and our family enjoyed the event too!

We had our wedding here on 11/11 and we’re still on cloud nine about our big day at this stunning venue. Omar made the whole process easy and was always available when we had questions. Everything couldn’t have gone smoother without him. Omar helped us stay on schedule and made sure we were taken care of. For the day of we added the coordinator and DJ services. It was so worth it! So many of my guests loved the DJ and we danced all night. The food was also very delicious! There was so much space in the three different areas and everything was so beautiful that not too much additional decorations was necessary. We could go on and on but we’ll just say we’re glad we chose the White House to have our wedding.

We can not rave enough about the White House. First and foremost, their venue is beautiful and all encompassing. They had a large space for the bride and groom and their wedding parties to get ready in, they have a beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony space, as well as a cocktail hour space. The reception area is large and naturally very beautifully decorated (i.e. draped, marble floors). The team was always very responsive via email, calls and even texts. Our package came with a day-of coordinator. Omar was so great! He was on top of every single detail. We received several compliments from our guests at how organized and on time our schedule was and that is a real testament to all his hard work and dedication on the day! A tip for all couples in the last days of wedding prep - communicate everything to your coordinator. They are so incredibly helpful with all the details. He was even kind enough to focus on getting us fed and making sure we were enjoying the evening. Such a gem and so thankful he was running the show!

White House Banquet & Events Center is a wonderful one-stop shop for couples who want a super convenient and hidden gem for their wedding venue. The entire process was very easy and painless. My husband and I wanted somewhere that would help us but also be easygoing. We communicated the most with Mimi, Omar, and Katia and Jovan. We got the Diamond package and Katia was our day of coordinator. Everyone was very easy to get ahold of and they answered all of questions. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Bless them because we had a lot of questions since we did not have a wedding planner. We also got the early bird package which made everything so easy because we just got ready there and stayed there all day. Vanessa helped us the morning of and checked on us to see if we needed anything. Thank you Vanessa! They provide the menu, linens, tables, DJ, photobooth... they have almost everything you need depending on what package you decide on and you can always add-on to customize! Also with our package we had a planned food tasting appointment, day of schedule appointment, and rehearsal. The package also included bartenders and security guards. We used Rigo the in-house DJ and everyone loved his style and how he would hype up the crowd. We gave him a playlist of songs we wanted, but we also gave him the freedom to change it based on the vibe and he did not disappoint! Our guest count was 250 - there is a ton of free parking! No worries at all with that. Our guests told us the food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, and it was an amazing wedding! It was so convenient to have everything in one place. Also, they recently renovated their floors! (See our pictures)

Few tips to future couples because these were things we wish we could have changed/ reminded ourselves:
- ask the venue when their pricing will increase. We booked around Feb 2021 and our wedding was Feb 2022. Like most people and due to COVID, our guest count was up in the air. We booked for 200 guests, knowing that we could always increase our guest count, but could not decrease. We tried to increase our guest count to 250, with the old package pricing for 2021 around January 2022. The old package pricing for that guest count was no longer being honored and we ended up paying a lot more than if we had increased our guest count before the rates went up.
- Ask the day of coordinator or whoever in the wait staff will be cutting your cake to save your cake topper and the top tier (the one for the 1 year anniversary tradition). Our top tier was served and we lost our cake topper.
- If you want a slideshow or video to be played, try it out before the wedding. We spent a lot of time making 2 slideshows, but one didn't work for the tv inside the White House.

Overall, thank you WHEC for everything- we had our wedding just the way we wanted and we can't thank you enough!!

The venue is gorgeous and perfect for all-in-one place event. We loved that we had the venue to ourselves the entire day. There are 3 different spaces to work with that just bring your event to life. All of the staff was pretty amazing and extremely responsive. They offer a list of their preferred vendors but you can hire your own. One thing, if you hire an outside vendor as your DJ and you want fog, make sure they have a Nimbus machine as the venue won’t accept other options. My DJ was amazing and found a machine that met their needs 2 weeks before the event. The day of the event, things went as planned! All of our guests were happy and complimentary of everything. One recommendation if you book this venue…work with the bartender in advance to ensure the drinks are exactly what you want. We didn’t do that and we had guests that mentioned the mixed drinks weren’t quite right. Overall, he was great and did provide a list of the alcohol we would need for our suggested drinks.

My wife and I could not think of a more perfect location for our wedding. Not only is the White House such a beautiful venue, but their staff is top notch. From the beginning of the process The White House Banquet and Event Center showed us the upmost respect and servitude. Every question we had was answered properly and they made the process of planning a wedding so easy and simple. My wife and I are so thankful for Mimi and the rest of the staff at The White House Banquet and Event Center. I highly recommend them for any wedding/event you have coming up in the future.

Haven't had my wedding yet, but the staff is amazing and genuine. I can't wait to the big day 1/24/20.

Our wedding was beautiful and worked out as planned thanks to the staff here. Mimi and Jovan made the whole experience seem effortlessly. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a magical experience.

White House Banquets & Event Center made our wedding day MAGICAL! It was such an amazing experience! Mimi, Jovan & Omar showed us so much love and made us feel welcomed into the family. There was never a question that went unanswered, we would send texts the moment we thought of something related to our day and always received a prompt response from August 2018 up until our wedding day December 7, 2019. They made sure all of our needs were met and worked with us to execute the vision that we had. All of our guests had an amazing time! They absolutely loved the food and the dance floor. One even described our day as a “fairytale!” We’re truly thankful that WHBEC took an interest in getting to know us and making sure that our wedding day was all that we imagined!

We had an in vision of what we would like our wedding to look like and honestly everyone at the White House: Omar, Mimi and Jovan went above and beyond for us and truly made us feel special and brought our dream wedding to life. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They are very profesional and made sure everything was the way we wanted. We would highly recommend to anyone!

From the very beginning they were straight forward and let me know all important details. Throughout the entire process they gave me a very personal experience. I got to know each manager quite well and they always made themselves available for your assistance. They are very honest and let you when they think you don't need to spend the extra money on something. They assisted me in any general wedding question I had. I enjoyed making my payments and chatting with staff. I always with assurance that my wedding day was going to be perfect and everything would run smooth and they definitely delivered. Nothing went wrong and I owe it to the staff for all the assistance day off. They address any issues you may have and always make it right. I am so glad I chose this venue! Wedding planning wouldn't have been this easy without them.

I pretty much went through and emailed every single venue in Orange County. I was having your super typical Asian wedding, which meant I was going to need a high capacity venue. White House Event Center was pretty much the only venue that could accommodate my amount of guests and didn't cost an obnoxious amount of money.

When we met with Mimi, I found that WHEC was going to be perfect. They had packages that included their in-house catering, but also had some where I would be able to bring in my own for the type of cuisine my family and guests would expect. We were able to bring in our own alcohol, with no corkage fee. The upstairs bridal suite was amazing, it was extremely spacious and comfortable.

Throughout the whole process, Mimi was beyond accommodating of my requests in regards to certain traditions we had. We got married this past March and I had a 6-month engagement, meaning there was very little time to pull everything together. Mimi was incredibly helpful and communicated with me every step of the way to ensure everything went smoothly. She was also incredibly easy to reach, I sometimes would forget that I shouldn't text her so late at night when I had random questions.

When it came to the day of, I had Adriana as my day-of coordinator and she was awesome. With the help of her and Mimi, the day (more or less) went by incredibly smoothly. I was extremely impressed with all the hard work they put in that day. I made all of my own decorations and floral, meaning Mimi and Adriana had to help put everything together to bring my vision to reality.

I do have a similar complaint as others in regards to the location of the venue, it is located hidden away behind Adventure City. This make parking a little difficult when arriving early for set up, etc. I heard from several guests that finding the location was difficult since the sign for it isn't readily apparent, most people only notice Adventure City.

Overall, everything went well and I'm pleased with how everything turned out and everything Mimi and Adriana did for us to make the day as amazing as possible.

White house banquet event center was my dream come true wedding! My husband was very picky when it comes to cleanness, ambience, and staffs courtesy and it was the first venue he actually liked. Food was so good! The venue kept our guests very happy. Thank you MIMI and OMAR for all your help!!! They help you through out from planning to the actual wedding day to make sure your wedding is taken care of. Highly Recommend!

Our wedding was super awesome! Mimi and Jovan went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect. It was even better than what we were expecting. We had the ceremony and reception there and everything was amazing. There is plenty of space to get ready, the food is great, the service is outstanding, their DJ kept everyone dancing till the end and all my guests all said it was so fun and beautiful. I just wish we could do it all over again.

We had the most amazing wedding at the White House Event Center and highly recommend it to local couples who want a beautiful venue for a great price. We had our ceremony in the beautiful garden, and the reception in the West Wing. Things I loved about this venue: the place needs minimal decor because it’s already very pretty, affordable on a Sunday but also had great food, excellent service, and looked expensive, and the bridal party suite is SO convenient because it’s spacious and right next to the ceremony space. Mimi was so great during our planning process and especially on our big day, and her team took care of everything we needed (including a quick cleanup when drinks were spilled on the dance floor, and serving dinner right on time for us). She was quick to reply to our questions throughout the planning, accommodated our requests, and always made us feel cared for through the process. The day went so smoothly, and that was largely thanks to the WHEC team. We are so grateful that our wedding day was the best and definitely recommend this venue!

We've looked at about 15 or more venues and none of them could meet all of our needs let alone work with our budget. My then fiancé's neighbor told us about this place. I was skeptical at first but I thought why not. I am so glad that we went to look at the place. Not only was it beautiful, they were able to meet all of our needs and above. Jovan & Mimi were very easy to work with & were very accommodating from start to finish. Preparing for a wedding is hard enough but being partnered up with the right people definitely helps with all the little things you don't even think about. It's literally a one stop shop and they have resources and connections that are not only professional but budget friendly as well. We have been very blessed to work with both of them and I highly recommend them to all my family and friends that are looking for a venue. Thank you Jovan and Mimi for making our Rock 'n' Roll wedding come to life .

Helped with my sisters wedding and the White House was amazing!! Staff was so friendly and helpful with our family. Food was great! Pictures don't do a justice for this venue! They get five stars from me!

Amazing venue!! Amazing staff!! I would give it 10 stars if I could......My sisters and I were looking for a venue where we could host my wedding and I have to say the staff truly exceeded our expectations. From booking to the end of the night the day of the party, every member of the staff were on top of every detail which made it even more special. The party was a big success. We are def going to be booking future events and recommending it to everyone we know:)

This venue had spectacular service. If you talk to and listen to the advice of the venue managers you will have an event to remember. I am very appreciative at the attentiveness that Mimi and Guillermo were the day of the reception. My husband and I have had great compliments coming from our guests about what a great reception we had, and it is a very gorgeous location too. It is a must go see to fall in love with, it was a magical experience for myself.

They let us book our wedding far in advance and honored current pricing. The pricing is exceptional to what they have to offer. They will work with you and are flexible. So far we have given our deposit and 1 payment and have been thrilled. We are welcome to go see the venue whenever we like, I always give a notice first, and they have given our parents tour of the location.
The upstairs part is also a bridal/groom suit to get ready in. It's so convenient. I cannot wait for the actual wedding day. I will give an update once I taste food and see the linen.

My husband and I loved everything about our ceremony and wedding reception. Everything was set up exactly how we wanted it. All our guest loved the food and there was plenty of room for all our guest. It's a beautiful modern venue and they are very flexible with how you want your set up to be. They take plenty of stress away from your planning by providing everything for you. Definitely make sure you keep track of all your payments though, they might be a little bit unorganized in that part.

This place was a great value. Price was more affordable than any other option. You can bring your own alcohol. The only problem was that it was in a weird location and the drapping was not my taste.

The White House event center was a perfect place to have a wedding. They were affordable and the food was delicious! We held our ceremony and reception there in Sept 2014 and it was so easy and convenient. Thank you VICTOR for working with us and being as flexible as possible. Melrose catering was also DELICIOUS!! We had the Italian Buffet and all our guests raved about the food. If you are worried about the noise from Adventure city it was not a problem at all. The only factor was parking but it was very brief.
