They have tall escalators, soaring ceilings, thousands of square footages to fit your parties, a number of scintillating chandeliers throughout the whole entire restaurant, a couple of stages for performing if you like, flat screen TVs on the walls, big speakers, a bar, a wall full of wine behind the glass, fancy Chinese food, and more!” — Michelle, Yelp

Once I visited, I knew this was the right place. I ended up holding my ceremony & reception in the Diamond Hall with cocktail hour in the Emerald Hall, and I chose the 14 course banquet menu. I was most impressed on the day of the wedding. The whole staff worked so quickly and seamlessly to get everything done. Every time we talked to our guests, they raved about how delicious all the food was. Everyone was stuffed by the end of the night and we got to take home any leftovers.” —Rena, Yelp
