The reasons why we chose this venue:
-Affordable pricing for site fee and catering
-Bring your own alcohol
-Seating for up to 300 guests
-Nice modern décor/ambiance outside in the courtyard and inside the ballroom
-Free secured parking

I was really hoping for an outdoor ceremony but it rained on my wedding day. The ceremony was moved into the ballroom and it actually turned out beautifully. It felt warm, inviting and intimate which was perfect for a winter wedding.

1000 percent happy with the Betty Reckas Cultural Center. It is definitely a well priced hidden gem in Long Beach. You can bring in your own booze (liquor too!) Jeremy Smith was our catering manager and he was great. We also had Loren as our banquet server, make sure to ask for him specifically as he was so incredibly attentive and kind. The Betty is so beautiful on the inside, you'd never know it was over in the area it is located in. Every time we told someone, no one had heard of it. Our guests were so impressed with it's beauty. They also just redid the bathrooms and they look amazing as well.

The food was incredible. We didn't give the guests a choice of dish, we went with the balsamic roasted chicken/mashed potatoes/baby carrots. I cannot even tell you how many compliments we had on the entire dish, how moist the chicken was, how the baby carrots were amazing. We also opted to serve buttercake and mini donuts as a dessert. Obviously as the bride I didn't get to try it haha, but my guests raved about it the entire weekend.

The only thing I would mention (and I'm not even mad about it) is that you should have a conversation with the bar about making sure the drinks are not overpoured. We ran out at the end- still had enough beer and wine to cover but we had to send a cousin to the store! Everyone was cool so not really a problem but we thought (and our coordinators agreed) we really had over purchased liquor.

It really was an amazing experience and if I had to do it all over again, I would pick the Betty every time!
