Martinez Event Center

The Martinez Event center is a wonderful place.
Last evening our High School class celebrated our 45^th year reunion. Every single person on the Martinez Event Center team earns high marks. Beginning with Lisa the event coordinator, the professional, polite and patient staff for the evening, to the talented Chef Bob. We chose the Elegant Buffet and everything looked as good as it tasted.
The venue was lovely and many of our guests complemented the committee on the selection.
On behalf of the Alhambra High School Class of ’68 reunion committee, thank you very much. You helped to make our event truly special.

The Event Center is cozy and clean. I attended an elementary school dinner and auction. The location does not have a parking lot, but there is sufficient street parking near by. The interior was clean and seemed modern enough. If I was looking for an indoor location to hold a single room event I would consider. I have no idea what the cost is.

I really can not say enough about this place. The Martinez Event Center provided our office PPC (party planning commitee) a perfect venue for our event. The staff was incredibly patient and helpful. I showed up pretty early to drop off decorations. Not only did they open the door for me, they asked if I needed help. They loaned me an extension cord when one of my displays came up short.
We selected the buffet style menu. They started with cheesy quesadillas, crunchy taquitos, fresh guacamole, bean dip, cheese and various salsas. When the main course was served, I found myself lost in a plate of tasty rice, beans, enchiladas and killer chicken tacos. The tacos were so delicious that I tried to barter for another one, with an extra enchilada I grabbed. After dinner, I walked around and asked some of the tables how the food was. I got a lot of smiles and thumbs up.
It took us awhile to configure the wireless microphone, so as to avoid a ton of feedback. I got it to where I could stand in one area and get my voice out clearly enough, so that the guests could hear me. I would recommend your own set-​up, if this is something that you are particular about. The wired microphone may have worked better, but I didn’t want to be tied down to the podium.
They let us borrow four of their folding tables for our casino theme. We provided the tablecloths and made sure they were well protected. They also allowed us to bring in our own dessert.
The bartenders were working hard all through the night. They did their best to keep the lines manageable. They only take cash, so warn your guests if you plan a party here.
The room is beautiful and it easily accommodated our group of approx. 100.
We were very pleased with our decision to have our party at the Martinez Event Center. We will definitely be back, another time — another theme!

A nice venue that requires imagination, with nice potential. Very clean.

This is a very good idea on the part of who ever thought of this building space being used in the quaint downtown Martinez.
I went to a Chamber Event here last night. Even though I was there maybe 6 minutes. I just wasn’t in the «Mixer» mood last night.
The food was a pretty large spread and I was surprised this was a free event. There was also a bar but I wasn’t sure if it was open or not and I didn’t have any cash on me and I didn’t want to drink because I was going to work out after the event.
Who ever did the designing and remodel did a very nice job and I could see a wedding reception or a quinceanera or a big birthday party being held here.
There is also a balcony that over looks Main St. in Martinez. That is a really good idea and fun for the guests.
This is a very good addition to Martinez.
