Yorba Linda Community Center

I had the unfortunate opportunity to use this venue for an event before my wedding. They were the absolute worst. You are better off not having an event than having it here. On the night of the event, the bartender that we hired through the community center was drinking our liquor, yelling at our guests. When we asked him if we could provide him with anything he yelled at us. He was drunk and had been giving alcohol to the YLC security staff as well.
When we tried to discuss it with the security staff they intentionally shut down our event an hour early. I can assure you, we were as polite as possible, but they thought it was some sort of joke. Shortly thereafter they poured out all the remaining liquor. They are so rude they attempted to ruin my event. They deserve negative stars. Use any other venue, even a park is better than these clowns.

We chose the YLCC for our wedding reception. We met several times with staff about the arrangements, including, Matthew, the event coordinator, and Marianne, the catering coordinator. Everyone was very nice and helpful. We chose the Imperial Room, the smaller of the two rooms, which can accomodate up to 175 people. It worked out very well for us. There was a little lapse in communicaton with Marianne, when we contacted her two days prior to our wedding and she told us she couldn’t remember meeting with us, though we had met on two previous occasions. Ultimately, when we met again in person, she had found her notes, was very gracious and apologized for causing us some concern, and made up for it by taking care of all of our needs. Our advice is to put everything officially in writing well in advance, and I think Marianne would agree. The room turned out to be perfect for our wedding, and we were very happy with how everything turned out.

I came here for my buddy’s wedding a few weeks back. I gotta say that everything here was A-​OK. There was not anything special about the community center. They tried to make everything fancy by added some cheap plastic masterials and by having plastic-​painted «gold» at every table. Well, now that I think about it, they tried to use the least amount of expenses to make it all wedding like for my buddy of mine (yet he paid around like $ 30k). Totally not worth it…
Also the food is overcooked…

We had a birthday party here for my mom and the entire experience was great. Up front, everything was explained in detail, including the bartender, alcohol and security situation. The venues were cheaper than most others we researched and we used the Imperial room which was huge and it’s not even the biggest one they have. We booked about 45 days in advance so we had to pay in full up front, they take deposits if it is more than 60 days out. Maryann who is with center catering (they provide the linens and the bartender for the community center) was so helpful even though we didn’t use her company for catering. I even found the cake company we used through her and she put together our floor plan perfectly. The linens and bartender were very fairly priced and we were able to bring our own wine and have hard liquor/​beer as a cash bar. We loved the projector and did a slide show for my mom, there is plenty of parking, the bartender was on time and wonderful. Security was good they use 1 company and require it if there is alcohol. The staff even brought us a last minute table and microphone the night of the party. They also let us use the kitchen even though it wasn’t in our room (we rented the ²⁄₃ w/​out the kitchen) to warm up chocolate for the fountains. All in all everything was without a hitch and our entire party was so complimentary throughout the night. We would definitely recommend and use this venue again!

This place is huge, it seems like they could house thousands of people in here.
We meet here for Adventure Guides and the staff always does a great job interacting with us.
Tons of parking.

Well, two individuals were «dry humping» in the park as we arrived. The kids thought it was interesting like an odd mating technique. The parking was plentiful and I was able to park my rig adequately. The place was nice, spacious, and a good central location. I appreciated the inside and outside aspects. Yorba Linda has the highest per capita, household income, so it’s a clean place to visit. The Nixon library is somewhere nearby. The wedding reception was nice and the acoustics were pinnacle for the live jazz combo that was playing.

I visited the community center for a wedding reception. Overall the facilities were decent. The main entrance door was automated which is always appreciated. The men’s room was spacious and had multiple urinals and stalls. The main banquet room was large and kept fairly cool by the air conditioning system. The chairs were padded nicely but lacked proper lumbar support. Adjacent to the banquet room was a nice patio area. Juxtaposed to the community center is a park with sewage passing through. I may have seen an RV dumping fecal matter into it but I cannot confirm.

Bait and switch. The facility is nice, but the management is disingenuous. We helped the kids plan the wedding reception here. When we asked if we could hire our own bar tender to bring in premium crafted beers they said it wouldn’t be a problem. Once deposits were placed and all the paperwork was completed, they told is that our licensed bar tender wasn’t on their approved list. After jumping through several hoops, which had never been mentioned previously, it became clear that we weren’t going to be allowed to bring in our own bar tender. When we told them that was a deal breaker and we were going to have to find another venue, they told us we would be in default and lose our deposit. We were stuck with their bartender and substandard beer at twice the price we were expecting to pay.

It’s an awesome place but I agree that the staff was least helpful! The wedding I decorated was set for 10 people per table. They changed chair styles and did not tell the bride that they can only put 8 chairs per table. So we were missing 2 chairs per table and had to add 2 more tables, but in the meantime, we did not allow for extra tablecloths and centerpieces! So we ended up with 2 bare tables! Also the staff were
told that electricity was needed in the ampitheater before the ceremony and had to be reminded again! They told me to press the intercom if we needed anything and I kept pressing for more ice, but no one answered!

Great place to bring the family and to enjoy the summer concert series on Sundays.
Supposedly food trucks will be here every Sunday until the end of September. Bring the family. bring a blanket, lawn chair, and enjoy the summer
