L.A. Banquets featuring Anoush Catering

We had our wedding here and the price and value are great. However, there seems to be a lack of communication or confusion of role responsibility. It seems like there employees were not on the same page. First we had one person taking care of our wedding, then it was changed to another person. Well, we ended doing all the final details with the second person and then we find out he was no longer in charge of our wedding due to knee surgery. So, we then had to deal with the first person helping us. Well, the second person didn't save or forward the details to the first person so we had to go through the whole process of what we wanted all over again! Seriously? Thank God I had a great wedding planner cause she dealt with all the stress for me. And let me tell you we had to finalize drinks, food, and layout the day before my wedding (because no one on there side took notes).
Another thing that made me mad was the waiters asking for e extra tip from my husband! We paid a good amount for the venue with tip included.
However, on a positive note, the food was good and they don't charge ridiculous fees like most venues! Good venue overall they just need to communicate better (internally) and put their waiters in check.

Anoush was a beautiful place to have our ceremony and reception. All of our guests complimented us on how beautiful it was. Anoush was also our caterer and the food was amazing. Everybody, I mean everybody loved the food. We had one guest who had a food allergy and they were very accommodating, we had several guests who were Kosher and they made sure that our Kosher guest were served in the proper way. It was the perfect place to have our wedding. The people who run it are very professional and very flexible. Again food was amazing!!

The food was very good and there was no end to it in sight. The room was set up perfectly and we were generally happy with the way the evening went. However, I was annoyed at the constant mariachi music blaring from the main ballroom opposite the lounge that our event was in. While it might have been guests who mindlessly left the doors wide open, I would expect the Anoush staff to be mindful of our presence in the smaller room and keep the doors closed as much as possible. My poor dad was forced to give his toast while being drowned out by accordion music so loud that my husband had to leave to sort out the situation.

In addition to this annoyance, a "photographer" came in uninvited and started soliciting our guests. They took photos, developed them, and then attempted to sell them during the reception. My guests thought I had hired him and a few of them paid $15 for the photo! I was so embarrassed when I found out. Anoush should have asked whether we wanted this "service'. Some may not care about this, but I felt invaded.

Also there was a lack of communication when it came time to cut the cake although I delivered a timeline well in advance of the reception. Many of our guests were waiting for the cake cutting before making a long drive back to the Inland Empire. However, Anoush took it upon themselves to wait an extra hour to serve it when they felt it was a more appropriate time despite my detailed timeline.

Despite all of this, we had a great reception and it was bargain given the amount of food, the fact that it is served at the table and most importantly,
we didn't have to deal with clean up!
