White House Banquets & Event Center

Amanda Costillo

Who would have known what was inside this big white house. Great for a variety of venues. Much more space than you think inside this place. Very expensive. Too expensive for beach and ball if u ask me.

This place is beautiful! My two cousins had their quinceaneras here, about 6 years apart and both times were amazing. The "white house" serves as an entrance point for the guest. Upstairs are some private rooms for the special guest to get ready. The main room has a shower and restroom and the second room serves as a extra changing room. Both spacious. They have an outdoor area were they set up for the ceremony and the reception takes place in a venue across the outdoor area. The out door area is simply beautiful. The reception venue is just as beautifully decorated as the rest of the place. The only thing I would like to point out is that the venue is shaped rectangular. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just something to definitely be aware of.

My fianceé (now wife) and I were scouting for the perfect venue. We wanted something that was extraordinary, beautiful and spacious. We looked all over Los Angeles and Orange County, some places were nice but were missing some key amenities like parking and food. Low and behold we found out about The White House Event Center. This elegant venue has everything you could imagine! Let me please start with the people that make this place so special. Jovan and Mimi are outstanding and remarkable individuals who cater to your wedding needs. They treated us like we were their first and only clients and loved their honesty and hospitality. They guided us with professionalism and were genuine, they showed us all the different options and locked in our wedding date and price. Keep in mind we were 2 years out, they were flexible with payment plans and each time we came in to make our payment they always asked if we needed anything or had concerns. Mimi went above and beyond to make sure our wedding photo booth was perfect by crafting a unique design for us by using our wedding invitation card as a design. The Venue: The White House has a beautiful reception area on the 1st floor that allows guests to relax, have refreshments from their excellent in-house bartender and delicious hors d’oeuvres. It’s lovely and open and allows guests to find a nice space to mingle and take photos. The 2nd floor is open and elegant. This area allows both the bride and groom and their respected parties to get ready before the ceremony. We had at least 20 people upstairs including hair, make up and catering and we didn’t feel confined or limited. I would recommend booking the early access, this allows you more time to get ready without feeling rushed. I believe we arrived at 9:00AM and their staff (Aleyda & Guillermo) were already there ready to help us with our alcohol and decorations for the evening. The Ceremony: We had paid extra for the Day of Event Coordinator - Omar, is fantastic at keeping everyone aligned as well as attending to our needs. He consistently checked up on us and our wedding party and made sure that we were seated and had dinner served to us first. He made sure everything ran smoothly as well as timing for when the bride and groom would walk down the aisle. If you don’t have a Day of Event coordinator or are hesitant on hiring one, I would highly recommend their service. You’ve already invested your time, money and energy. You deserve to enjoy your beautiful day without issues and added stress. The Reception: Absolutely stunning, When you first walk in you’re greeted by beautiful flowers that were sourced and designed by their in-house florists. We had the center setup as the dance floor and it was plenty of space to have everyone dancing. Our wedding had a total of 120 guests and everyone enjoyed their time and commented on how gorgeous the reception was. Their lighting system is setup so that it can match the theme of the evening as well as music. The Food: My favorite part was being able to sample all the delicious foods and selecting them with my wife before the wedding. All their selections are exquisite and gourmet, there is something for everyone. My guests were treated with unlimited and delicious food the Nguyen way of course. Thank you again to: Mimi, Jovan, Omar, Aleyda & Guillermo - and staff. An amazing and unforgettable moment, We will forever remember this day and everything The White House Event Center did for us.

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.
