    We looked at other venues but the customer service was less than good. When we set up our appointment with Cindy's and spoke with Cyndia we were sold. From the beginning she was very helpful and informative. I expected things to go wrong cause nothing in life is ever perfect. Thanks to Cyndia she went above and beyond so everything was smooth sailing. Thank you Cyndia and staff for making our daughters day so special.

    My husband and I got married on June 27,2015. My wedding day turned out amazing. I felt like a queen and was treated like royalty. Through out, the wedding planning process, Ninfa, Sales/ Event Coordinator, was flexible and there to answer any questions that I had. If I had chance to do my wedding over again, I would not change a thing.

    Thanks Cindy's Palace !!!

    Cindy's Palace was a great place to have our wedding reception. We worked with Ninfa for almost a year to make our special night perfect, and it was. The venue, lighting, staff, food..... everything was outstanding. Ninfa really went over and above to make sure our night was memorable. Thank you Ninfa for making sure we have a lifetime of memories of our reception! You are the best!

    This Is the venue I had my daughters Quinceanera. Well after meeting with Ninfa which was one of the employees & taking a tour, there was no second guessing.Ninfa had to be the most friendliness, understanding, helpful employees I had yet to come across & began to take alot of stress off my back that during that moment I was too blind to see & understand of what was to come my way.
    During my planning I had hired an event planner (A Day To Remember) on the day of the event she did not show as she was paid to do so, my emotions & stress ran high until Ninfa & Carlos which Is the manager ran to the rescue.Due to there high "Professionalism & huge heart this entire staff has to offer they made sure they did everything In there willpower that nothing or no-one would ruin this special day of which my daughter would only experience once. I could go on & on about every tiny little meaningful detail these two went out of there way the entire nite to accomplish for myself my daughter,her friends, family,everyone just to see smiles & memories being made as any special event should have,but to do this I would have to write a book
    I would reccomend this venue to EVERY1 & to make sure you have No stress go with there entire package that includes the Venue,decorations,catering D.J & his name Is Kiko with All Stars D.J by the way he also played a HUGE role In this night making sure the crowd stayed pumped up alive which Is always important & not to mention hes a great guy him & his wife were amazing extremly helpful throughout the process ,chocolate fountain,& don't forget the Margarita machine.Trust me you will not be disappointed till this day I'm receiving calls that the venue was amazing & Elegant like no other.Any other future events I have will be here everyone I came across was like family thank-you for EVERYTHING Ninfa,Carlos & Teresa who Is the head mamacita :) lots of love !!!!!!!!!

    P.S
    If you are of age & take a trip to the bar ask for a special Apple Martini Mmmmmm.... I'm telling you this place has It All Lol ...

    Cindy's Palace is a beautiful venue. It allows for a close intimate ceremony but at the same time fits a good amount of guests. Their staff was extremely helpful throughout the planning process as well as very professional.

    Debbi and the entire staff at Cindy's Palace were wonderful! Debbi was always very responsive to my questions and concerns leading up to the day of the wedding. They truly made our wedding day very Special and Elegant. They were able to match the decor to our wedding colors and enhanced it even more with their small touches of detail. Our guest were extremely pleased with the service of the wait staff and selection of food. We highly recommend Cindy's Palace for your special event.

    Cindy's Palace was very easy to work with. They were very organized and kept in touch throughout the planning. They were open to new suggestions and did everything possible to make our event as personal as possible. They are very affordable, and you get SOO much for the money.

    This venue is absolutely beautiful! We had previously had to leave another venue that we booked months in advance, and Cindy's Palace was willing to work with us on short notice. The only complaint I have is that many promises were made when we were being booked that seemed to be forgotten come wedding day, such as "we'll give you those for free" or the number of chairs at each table. However, they were followed through once we reminded them. Just make sure and take notes at your intial meeting!! Ninfa (the owner) was extremely professional and kind, and they allowed us to bring our own catering. My mother-in-law provided the cooking herself, and unfortunately there were some miscommunications with that. When we'd gotten to our hotel the night of the wedding, we received an email saying that she didn't wash some of the bowls she'd used and we would have to pay a $150 clean up fee. My mother in law says that she was told to leave them there, either way this could have been communcated directly to her or at least the next day. Other than some lack of communication, the wedding night was beautiful and everyone LOVED the venue!

    It is beautiful and a large size perfect for my guest list. In addition, the staff is very flexible in helping meet my needs and budget. Unfortunately, it has been very frustrating in terms of communication, and I am concerned about the competence of the staff -- we have had to go back and forth several times, and I feel that a lot of time has been wasted, and it has been inefficient.

    Marquee Banquet & Event Center's reply:

    Good Afternoon we apologize for the frustration. We have been in the process of changing management which could be the reason for the inconsistency. Again, we sincerely apologize and we will do our best to improve in the future. Please except 5% off of your next event rental to compensate for your inconvenience.

    The facility is very nice and everything looked nice the day of the wedding. Caterer & wait staff did a great job the night of the wedding.
    Complaints have to do with the the organization of the venue coordinator we worked with at Cindy's Palace. Below are a few.
    - When we would schedule a meeting to look at table set ups, nothing would be set up when we got there.
    - We were to have our rehearsal late Friday afternoon, the day before the wedding, and she booked another event for that evening and notified us about a week before the wedding. So we had to move our rehearsal at the last minute and changes our schedule for that day since we had a rehearsal dinner scheduled after the rehearsal.
    - We had her stop & start the music for the ceremony and she started the music too early, which threw some of the timing off. Also started playing the precessional music when the bride was walking on to the stage, instead of stopping it for the ceremony.
    - When dinner was served she had the wrong tables get their plates first. So our parents and the rest of the wedding party ended up going last for their food.
    - After we cut the cake, she was supposed to have the champagne glasses for the toasts ready but we had to wait for this.

    The wedding still turned out perfect but we could have done without the added stress caused by some disorganization.
    Would suggest seeing if they have another coordinator to work with. We worked with Ninfa.

    Terrible don’t recommend

    I had my wedding here this weekend and there was no AC throughout the whole event. It was extremely hot and despite notifying them multiple times it was never fixed. The womens bathroom weren’t working downstairs. The fridge wasn’t working so we had to put the cakes in the freezer. We were promised all tables would be downstairs however they placed multiple tables upstairs. They left a wet floor sign on the aisle while we were making our entrance. The floor was slippery from sweat and humidity people were literally falling. The ice cream was melting faster than people could consume it. We were sent a pic of our decorations however instead of giving a white couch they gave us a couch with a sheet over it. Cindies/tempura grill did not attempt to give us any money back instead badgered us for a tip at the end of the night. They also attempted to blame us for breaking the AC.

    Terrible, Rude Staff

    My cousin had here wedding here, and she went through hell with them!!! She paid $25000 just for the hall itself, waiters, alcohol, and decorations!!
    1. She was told that she would have a lot of options for decoration, and only had three!! So she had to buy more stuff for decorations!!!
    2. She bought six alcoholic bottles for the open bar, but Cindy's Palaces decided to use six opened bottles that was used before!!!
    3. They tried to say that the waiters won't serve the cake!!! Which is bull, because what else are the waiters for??
    And they did so much more!!! The hall my be beautiful, but the staff is too much of a hassle to deal with!!! But if you do decide to go with them, make sure you record all of your meetings!!! Because they like to make promised, and they later say they did not say that!!!

    Marquee Banquet & Event Center's reply:

    Good evening Ms. Nycole, here at Cindy's Palace our priority is to offer a second to none experience to our guests, and we take every complaint very seriously, I assure you that I will personally will investigate all details and will share with you my findings. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, our goal is to ALWAYS offer excellent customer service!!

    Stressful, manager unprofessional, and disappointed

    I highly don't recommend this venue! If you do book with them make sure you record everything they tell you. They tell you one thing then they don't follow through with. Had to have 3 meetings with the owner to get things straighten out.

    Beautiful venue but it's not worth the stress!
    Good luck if you get married here! All they want is your business and they don't care what happens after that.

    Also they will show people the venue on your wedding day when you're getting ready with wedding party!
    You been warned!
