It was amazing and everything went so perfect

Jenny was so amazing to work with. She is very thoughtful and caring! If something went wrong at the wedding I didn’t even know. I really enjoyed working with her.

Perfect Summer Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception at the Palomino Ballroom! Jaelah was amazing to work with and it was so magical to see what we had planned come to life on the day of our wedding reception. We rented out almost the entire space for our wedding (minus the patio.) One of the reasons we chose the Palomino over other venues was because they had an entire room dedicated just for the bar! I would highly recommend the Palomino for your wedding reception needs.

The Palomino staff were wonderful to work with! They know how to do weddings and came up with ways to reduce cost, but still have the experience we wanted.

Their recommended DJ - Copper Moon Entertainment was great!

The food was INCREDIBLE! Our guests still talk about it, especially the ravioli.

They used our flowers and decorated the altar so beautifully.

The ballroom at night, with all the lights and candles was fairytale gorgeous.

They went above and beyond every expectation we had.

The Palomino Ballroom made my wedding dreams a reality. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have had our reception. Our wedding coordinator Jasmine was amazing, she made the whole planning process stress free and incredible. Don't look any further than here to make your wedding day dreams come true!

Jasmine was incredible throughout the entire process. We felt very comfortable with her. She was a true professional and helped make our wedding day very special. She was able to handle anything we threw at her. Not only did the Palominio Ballroom meet or expectation it exceeded it...and we are kinda picky. Thanks to all involved, we strongly would recommend this venue got any speacial event.

Thanks,
Andy & Jennifer

Palomino Ballroom was a PERFECT place for our wedding! I can't say enough good things, Jasmine was a wonderful coordinator, the food was AMAZING, and their attention to detail was impeccable. You can't beat the service, quality, and price!! Thanks so much, PB, Jasmine, and staff for helping to make our day perfect :)

The Palomino is a beautiful venue that was the perfect place for our wedding reception. Along with the beauty, they also have a wonderful staff that help make your day what you want it to be without any stress falling on you. I loved having my wedding there and I am so thankful for all that they did to make our day, the day I always dreamed of.

Anita, and the entire staff at Palomino Ballroom were amazing for our wedding day. The weather did not want to cooperate so we could have our ceremony outside, so Anita immediately had a back up plan for us. Fortunately, it subsided so we could keep our original plan! Our guests raved about the food and cake for weeks, and we felt so comfortable working with them as they are a family owned establishment and truly want to work with you to make your vision come to life. I would recommend anyone looking for a venue for a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or other large event to speak with the planners at Palomino Ballroom, you will not be disappointed!

This venue was the perfect size for our wedding of around 220. The room was a very comfortable size and our guests received wonderful service. The entire staff did everything they could to make our day special. They were very flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. My sister and I both had our weddings at this location and they were both very different and reflected our personal styles. I would recommend this venue to anyone, you receive wonderful service at a reasonable price.

Jasmine was so helpful throughout the entire planning process and throughout the evening of the event. She brought a lot of good ideas to the table and was very accommodating. The food was wonderful. There was one kids meal that the chicken nuggets were not cooked in the center, but the team reacted quickly and got her a new meal. The staff was very friendly and professional.

The Palomino was absolutely amazing! The staff was friendly, helpful, and always attentive. Our friends and family raved about the food and the atmosphere. We even had a family friend tell us they had been invited to another wedding there and were so excited to get to go back!

We had an incredible experience with the Palomino Ballroom. The wedding coordinators were always flexible and helpful. If they were unable to provide a certain service, they always made a referral and provided us with different options. They also have a lot to offer; decorations that can be rented, catering, cake, etc. I loved that they have separate rooms; ballroom, bar, and a separate room for cocktail hour. Overall, we had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this venue!

Jasmine at the Palomino was extremely helpful, resourceful and professional! It was a pleasure working with her and the entire staff. She was our event coordinator and helped to make sure we had everything taken care of before and during the reception! She had helpful suggestions when needed. The ballroom was a fantastic venue. It is very well kept up, lots of room to be used as needed, lots of parking, terrific food, and many decorating options. Was a beautiful reception!

Anita and honesty everyone on staff here are amazing! These ladies are truly here for YOU. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. They have many options for everything involved in your wedding. The location is a little out of the way but it is well worth it. My husband, myself, and our guests were all quite satisfied. No matter your budget, they will work with it!

The Palomino Ballroom was absolutely perfect. It was everything I expected and more. At first I was worried about the cost, but they more than outdid themselves. They were very thorough and professional. The whole night, I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would recommend them to everyone.

Everyone at the Palomino is responsible for me having a perfect wedding day. The coordination was just awesome. Jenny made sure that everything went smoothly and everything was taken care of. They took so much stress off of me the day of. I will recommend the Palomino Ballroom to anyone looking for a venue to host their event. I loved it that we had the whole place to ourselves and there wasn't another event happening at the same time. They have a lovely facility and the food was amazing!! I'm still getting compliments about the menu!! The price was well under any other places that I had been pricing out. Definitely put this on your list to go and see!!

We had both the ceremony and reception at this venue. It was out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a horse farm and trees. The staff is very friendly and very organized - they know their stuff there!! The prices were very reasonable compared to other locations - and their food was absolutely amazing! Not only was it inexpensive compared to every other venue - it was the best tasting food I have EVER had at a wedding! (Isn't that always the worst part of going to someone's wedding? What kind of food is there going to be?) We had prime rib on a carving station, parmesian chicken breasts, asparagus, baby carrots, smashed red potatoes, pesto linguine, salad and bread and it was around $19 per person....CHEAP!!! Beautiful inside and out at this location!

My husband and I were very pleased with The Palomino Ballroom! Jasmine was so accommodating to our needs and was there for us every step of the way! Our friends and family were so impressed with the venue and loved every minute of the ceremony and reception! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

This place was wonderful. We were on a budget and they are definitely reasonable. We had a small wedding so we were able to upgrade. We had Jasmine as our coordinator and she was wonderful. I wasn't a super picky bride and she was helpful with knowing what might look good. We had some issues with a DJ (not their DJ) and she was really helpful with that! The location is beautiful also. My only complaint was that they gave us the wrong dish that we had ordered as part of the buffet, but their food is delicious so it wasn't a huge deal. It was a great experience. They were great to work with. We only had the reception at this venue.

Palomino did a great job with our wedding reception. They went above and beyond to decorate with the extra decorations. They were easy to work with. They made us feel like royalty on our wedding day. Several of our guests commented on how great this venue was for a reception..

This venue was completely stunning. Even when I had to move my ceremony inside they gave us up until about an hour before to make the switch and it was still more beautiful than I could have imagined.

The Palomino Ballroom took the stress out of planning the reception. Each couple is assigned a coordinator that works with you from beginning to end. This place specializes in weddings and so they are very experienced. The food was amazing, the bar was top quality, and the ballroom was beautiful. Good for larger parties. The only downside to this place was having to rent everything all the way down to the votive candles.

Loved the Palomino!

We really enjoyed working with the Palomino. Deanna & Jaelah were awesome! They made you feel calm and relaxed and comfortable about all of the details of your reception! They wrote out a very detailed day-of timeline that helped reassure me of what exactly was going to be happening. We met both in person and over the phone. The bride and groom get to attend a tasting event for free so you can try out multiple different foods that they cater. There are so many options for decorating, table decor, lighting, colors, and more - you can make the venue look like however you want! We received multiple compliments about the reception venue. We loved the bar area as well as the outdoor patio - it was so nice for guests to be able to go outside for some fresh air! Overall, we were just so thankful for how flexible the Palomino was and how adaptable they were to our requests! Would definitely recommend them!

They were willing to have afternoon and evening meetings with us. Jenny and Anita were both very nice and worked well with us. We did have to ask special permission to have all of our table decorations. The only thing that we did not enjoy about our special evening was that the Groom could not get served during last call. We loved the food and enjoyed the space a lot. It was a good place for our BIG DAY, just wished the groom could have had a drink during the last part of the evening.

Very beautiful venue! Jasmine is a joy to work with! You never really see or talk to the other employees (the family bc it's a family owned business). Very helpful and accommodating when possible but VERY strict contract, which limited a few of our wants/ideas, so read before you accept the proposal. The venue was gorgeous and beautifully located. It was perfect for our outdoorsy but prestigious wants and fit our fun personalities to a tee. Again, the staff was awesome, and I don't know what all happened behind the scenes, but our wedding went off without a hitch and it was THE best day of my life! I wouldn't change a thing!

I had a great experience with Palomino. It is a beautiful and wonderful facility with quality staff that exhibit great professionalism. Food is also fantastic! Biggest drawback is the cost; there is a high minimum in terms of how much you HAVE to spend. Because of this I would not recommend Palomino for a smaller wedding; a lot of wasted spending.

The food was absolutely amazing! The process was very easy and straight forward. If get one of their buffets and want to substitute one of the sides for something else, make sure ithe substitution and the price is correct on the invoice, this was the only issue that we had.

Though I enjoy that the location is very private, I was disappointed at the condition of the actual venue during a tour. The carpet was stained, there were dusty artificial ficus trees everywhere, and the paintings were tacky. The most beautiful feature in the ballroom is a large window yet it faces the parking lot - why would you want a parking lot in the background of your bridal table photos? Bottom line is this place is outdated. If you want to have your wedding reception in a venue that looks like it could be an MCL cafeteria or a nursing home then thats what you'll get here.
