Our Executive Chef and Catering Director will work with you to create a seamless, customized experience from start to finish so that you can enjoy every moment of the event you have imagined.

We are honored to be a chosen venue time and time again, and here is what some of our hosts have shared with us:

"...The entire staff took wonderful care of us..."
"Beautiful layout with indoor and outdoor options. Parking nearby and nestled near a cul-de-sac, giving it that nice private event, out of the way feeling, although the busy streets of Pasadena are mere blocks away."

And in the meantime, please enjoy learning more about some of the many types of events held by members and non-members at our elegant Club. To view photos, please visit our Gallery page.
