I had my wedding back in October at Bob Hope Hall. Bob Hope Hall has been around for almost 100 years, but they just recently started doing events, I guess. What a diamond in the ...
rough. We were on a budget so we really liked that we could bring in our own caterer and vendors without having to sacrifice a gorgeous venue. For most of the venues we looked at, we either had to use their onsite caterer or use a preferred vendors list. We booked the foyer, which is gorgeous. Since the foyer is floor-to-ceiling tiled frescos we did very minimal decorating, which also helped us save money. We really wanted to have our wedding on a Saturday evening, which is the most expensive day for a wedding, but we felt like our guests wouldn't want to party if we saved money and did the Friday or Sunday rental. This was such a happy medium. We paid $5000 for the venue rental and then Patricia also threw in the use of the theater for a fun cocktail hour/home video viewing. We had the wedding of our dreams without sacrificing anything and all within the budget we could afford.
The venue itself was beautiful, and overall it has a lot of potential. However, I do want to provide constructive feedback regarding the point of contact and coordination.

what is already a very stressful planning process, the designated point of contact was often difficult to reach and sometimes did not respond to text messages. Throughout the entire planning period, I only met her once. She also stated she would be present on the day of the wedding, but ultimately was not. Instead, the bartender was assigned as the point of contact, which created significant stress for everyone involved. The bartender was expected to manage bar service while also coordinating the venue, which was overwhelming and inefficient. Fortunately, we had an excellent wedding coordinator from a separate vendor who stepped in and helped us navigate the situation.
As mentioned, the venue is beautiful, but it is fairly new, and several aspects felt uncoordinated, leading to unnecessary stress on an already important day. While we don’t want to discourage others from booking the venue, we want to share objective issues we experienced—many of which were discussed ahead of time but were not delivered as promised by the venue coordinator:
- Reception room was not setup at the discussed time and took significantly longer than expected and required repeated follow-ups
- The parking lot gate was not opened on agreed upon time for guests
- Bartending inefficiencies, including long wait times and not following the agreed-upon drink recipes
- Air conditioning in the reception area was not adjustable. Although our wedding was in October and not particularly hot, the venue was unable to control the temperature, causing the room to feel stuffy throughout the reception.
Overall lack of staff presence and experience, requiring frequent reminders and requests throughout the day
While these issues did not ruin our wedding, they did create avoidable stress for us and our vendors. We’re sharing this feedback in hopes it helps improve coordination and processes for future couples, as the venue itself truly has the potential to be a wonderful place to celebrate.
We used Bob Hope Hall to host my husband's 50th surprise birthday party. What an amazing party it was. We used the Nimitz room, which includes the terrace. We had an amazing cock...
tail hour which had views overlooking all of LA. Then a buffet dinner of all my husband's favorite things in the Wilson room which is right next to the Nimitz Room. I also rented the theater out to play his favorite movie and then the basketball court so some people could play a game of basketball. It was a really special night to remember! The whole staff at Bob Hope Hall was AMAZING. They went above and beyond to help us plan the whole event. Did I mention that this was a surprise birthday party, so everything had to be low-key with planning? They did that and more. If you are thinking about having an upscale birthday party. THIS IS THE PLACE!
