Beyond the Stars Palace

This place closed back in July 2 weeks before my friends wedding and my friend has tried hiring 2 process servers to serve Eve and Cassie to no avail. These trolls are good at avoiding the process servers and have not made contact with my friend to return her $ 3K deposit. I will now help my friend attempt to do alternate service so that these cons do not skate off with her money. Anyone thinking of dealing with these ladies or this establishment — be aware!

This place went BANKRUPT June 30, 2015 and they didn’t bother telling us until one week before my wedding reception — July 11, 2015. I tried to contact them to get more information and to see if I can get some of my money back. Haven’t gotten a reply yet from anyone & it’s August 3^rd. We had to relocate 340 people, plus everything else. Up until the Sunday before I got the email, Cassie just went on making me believe she’s helping me figure everything out. I even met up with her to show my caterer their kitchen. There was no hint of anything. Stress can’t even begin to explain what me, my husband and our families went through. Please beware of Eve (Stars) Karoglanova & Cassie Breinlinger. I’m not sure what to do next, if anyone has any advice please pass it on.

Attended a 80’s disco event here this June. Place is dated but acoustic is fine… Disco lighting can still be improved. though am not sure if this was provided by the venue or the event producer… Parking can be hard though. Street parking around it is good for two hours only. There is a parking structure around the corner.

We had our wedding reception here in 2012. I know I am super late. I meant to do this long long time ago because they did such an aMazing job, that I even wanted to send them a thank you card.
The owner of its still the girl her name Eve or something like that was amazing! She was so helpful, flexible with us and all the changes that we wanted. She was no nice and the day of wedding helped me with my dress and veil. No hidden fees, all the workers were in the ball. The place looked amazing, the prize was amazing, and the service was great too. You place has so many hidden jewels, the lights, spot lights, big screens TV, balcony. Waiting area, and so much more. You have to go and see it for yourself!!!
It’s going to 3 years later and I would love to go back and have another event there. Everybody still tells me how much they liked my location. There is not one bad thing I can say about the location, the workers and the owner. I was beyond blessed for all they did for us and all the extras they did for us too. Couldn’t sAy enough about this place and the people !!

A special thank you to Sako, Levon and Aghassi for providing us with excellent service last night! Thank you for special and added touches! (Coffee station…)
The venue itself is gorgeous! The food and decoration and the service exceeded our expectations!
Thank you to the entire staff of «Beyond Stars Palace» for all their time, help, and dedication.
Everything looked beautiful!
Thank you

Awful! Horrible! DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE! Owner is rude and caterer is disorganized. The guests had to wait in the lobby because servers were told not to arrive till later. Venue was not set up in time. The tables were never cleared and the place was a mess by the end of the night. Just awful! All they see is $$$$

I came here on Saturday 5÷3÷14 for a event thrown by future events. I will have to say I was actually pretty impressed by this place. Yes, it is small but the vibe here was amazing. Everyone of the workers here were friendly and didn’t give any attitude like people have complained about in previous reviews.
What I enjoyed about this place is that we were able to in and out of the venue as we pleased. It was nice to go out and get fresh air or smoke a cigarette if you smoke. Something else that was super cool is the fact that they have their own coffee shop built into the facility.
The sound system here was definitely on point all night. Everything was crystal clear and the sound was distributed throughout the entire place evenly.
All in all I really enjoyed my experience here and I plan to go back if they bring some more of my favorite Djs.
+4 stars for my overall experience!
–1 star for the disgusting bathrooms.

We had our concert there last weekend. The rental price was very reasonable and manager was very cooperative all the way from the practices to the performance day. It has room for 500 but I don’t recommend it for more than 350 unless the audience are young and don’t mind crawling over each other! Bar was great and same was valet parking service. One issue was the sound adjustment of the loud speakers. I recommend working on sound levels and adjusting them to your preference before the show because we thought the sound engineer will take care of it on performance day and it didn’t went that well. Nothing against him just need to do your own due diligence! I recommend it for a tight budget gig!

Really unprofessional seating arrangement. My knees hurt sitting down in an area with no leg space.
They kept adding more chairs to seat more people and take their money!
I will never come here again.

I recently got married in January at Beyond the Stars Palace. Eve and her team (Cassie and Candace) are super awesome. Everything went really well for the wedding. It’s tough having a ceremony and reception all in the same room and having to transform it. Eve’s crew, along with our wedding coordinator and her team, made it happen! It was a great night. The rental price is very reasonable; the venue is well kept and clean. Eve and her team were responsive and our face-​to-​face meetings were productive. The staff at the venue were great as well. A few reviews made reference to the parking. We coordinated valet parking through Eve and it was extremely convenient! The sound techs are super flexible and helpful. We had a very non-​traditional wedding which required a great deal of coordination among different people and vendors. Eve and the team worked with our team to get things done. It was the perfect wedding!

A random venue hubs & I ended up at at the recommendation of a friend. Super pinoy show but I didn’t really care — we got in for free anyway.
No seats except for a few tables — not sure if that’s the normal setup, but I’m sure you can get it customized to your needs.
A neat venue to rent out for parties or events.
Dated, but clean. Bar had several options, including Disaronno (Amaretto) & Cranberry, my personal choice, for under $ 10 (albeit a plastic cup) so that’s fine for me.
Also — walking distance from my place, so bonus third star for me not having to pay for parking (and now I can drink & walk — don’t drive y’all!)

So I had my wedding reception here in Oct. And it went really well. I was quite happy at the end of the night. And we got lots of compliments on the venue.
I actually didn’t have a problem with the bathrooms. Of course, our reception was for about 115 people, well below what they can accommodate. The bathrooms weren’t too hot — plus, there are bathrooms backstage, so if you’re having a reception and you’re worried about the bathrooms being overcrowded, just ask your wedding party to use the ones backstage.
As far parking, there’s a garage on the street west of the venue and one block north that we used. We didn’t want our guests to have to pay for parking, but we also didn’t want to pay for valeting everyone. So we found that our guests could use tokens to pay to exit the garage. We had them park there, and when they left they asked our bartender for a token. Worked out well. The tokens were like $ 3 a pop, I think, less than valeting.
The owner was accommodating — not always able to answer our emails right away, but she would get back to us. Overall, if you’re looking for a place to have your wedding reception, I would say go for it!

My friend had her wedding reception here, and it was absolutely beautiful. Now, I can’t say that it’s because of the Beyond the Stars Palace… but some credit can be given to the venue itself.
Because her wedding had a movie theme, she was able to personalize the outside letters and movie posters on display, as well as collect ‘tickets’ at the box office.
The staff was helpful and accommodating, allowing her team to set up and break down the day before and after the wedding. Also, the party was also allowed to go on practically until everyone felt like going home! Haha.
Downside: The restrooms get HOT because of the dressing room style mirrors (with the huge bulbs going around the mirror). Yes, they look cute (selfie it up!)… but that’s a lot of electricity and a lot of heat for a tiny bathroom! There are 3 stalls which get icky pretty quickly. :/​
However, I give this place 4 stars overall. I have no idea how it is when you attend an event here, but for a wedding venue it’s nice. One last thing — parking is annoying!

I’m kind of disappointed because this place is always the big venue for famous Filipino bands flown in for a Dont-​Miss-​Kind-​of-​Concert. It’s in Glendale, a few buildings away from Portos, with plenty of all-​day parking won’t bankrupt you. (It’s not free parking so that’s kind of a minus too. Had to park two blocks away, at a structure on Orange st.)
BUT — the bar is limited — they only serve 3 kinds of beers (Corona, Blue Moon, and something else). The last time I was there, they didn’t even serve Red Horse (I’m pretty sure they did before). The bartenders are pretty nice tho.
I don’t particularly like one of the staff who seems to up her bitch factor whenever I come across her. Like, my friends went out to eat (no one was at the gate, but we kept our ticket stubs), but when we came back, this big curly haired lady didn’t want to let us back in («No in and out!»). Luckily, I was friends with the event organizer (and more than half the bands that played that night) and they just gave us armbands to go back in.
Later on, I had to use the bathroom and there is only one bathroom in that place. They were apparently replenishing the bathroom supplies, but they took their sweet time in there. Like, 20 minutes or more. There were three of their staff in there, one was a guy — who knows what they were doing in there. But again, that curly haired lady was giving ME attitude for hanging around outside the bathroom. I really needed to go! If you drink beer, you’d know that waiting to use the bathroom is effing TORTURE! ugh! I poked my head in the bathroom, and again, curly haired lady is yelling at me to stay outside and wait ’til theyre done.
UGH. What awful people.
The venue itself is not bad tho. :)

An event of a friend was held here and I find the place just okay. The seats were arranged so close to each other that I felt claustrophobic staying there.
Parking was difficult too. We had to park on the street. $ 0.25 for 15 minutes but after 10pm, it’s free.

best venue !!! our wedding was amazing… everyone at the venue is awesome. the owner eve… stacy who practically became my wedding planner !!! the lighting specialist… even he ladies at the café… and the bar tenders… we cant complain at all… they cooperated with us despite our wedding being so quick and hectic… our whole family and friends were impressed. thanks everyone at beyond the stars !!
p.s.
this venue looks upscale… i know there are alot of other venues in the san fernando valley, la or nearby cities… but when you walk into this venue its massive… huge bar… really clean. oh … and another major plus was the bathrooms and the dressing rooms backstage… sooooooooo beautiful !!!

Well it has been more than a month… and they still haven’t credited back the double charge they made on my credit card!!! and they did say that they will take care of this as soon as possible… LIES!!! Thanks for nothing!
So, I talked to them again, and guess what? they want me to take care of this shit myself! WOW! AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! NOT!!!
