The Plaza at Whitney Ranch

I am a local wedding planner and have had a chance to work with The Plaza at Whitney Ranch multiple times. The venue is located in Henderson. It's about 25 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip. They offer an indoor ceremony space adorned with a gorgeous staircase which is great for photography. The ballroom has been recently remodeled. The carpet was changed to tile floors which is a plus because now you don't have to spend additional money on the dance floor. Reception Area has doubled almost twice, so if you have a group of 200 or more, I'd recommend having your ceremony someplace other and come here for your elegant and very-cost efficient reception. I truly like that The Plaza allows you to bring almost anything yourself. They offer, however, their own all-inclusive packages that won't break a bank. You can always upgrade any of the services if you have extra room in your budget.The biggest advantage of this ballroom is that it's decorated in very neutral colors. You can have any color scheme you want. And on top of everything, they offer a built-in uplighting system which transforms the space into a majestic gala event venue. Highly recommend working with Brennon O'Neal. He is a very straight-forward person who will help you with all details.

I attended a wedding here and the venue is pretty small but they make the best of the space they have. The vows took place in the lobby area and the bride came down the semi-winding staircase which was a nice dramatic affect which gave us all enough time to work up some tears and soak a few tissues. Once the wedding was over, the guests relocated into the next room which is shaped like an L. The bar area was very small, very very small and the bartender kept carding us in the beginning. He wasn't very friendly either. The two coordinators Lisa and Lisa (I believe) did their very best to get everyone situated and organized. The food was catered out so no review on that part. There were only two workers handling the party, the one bartender and bar back/busser/coordinator guy. We had glasses on our tables that remained empty all night? There was only the one guy picking up the plates off the tables.One thing to note, the doors were extremely heavy. Trying to get in and out of the bathrooms took some muscle so be prepared to get either worked by it or hit by them.

We had my daughters 1st birthday party here. We chose The Plaza at WR mainly because we wanted to bring our own food. We had a little more than 150 guests and the venue was perfect. It was easy to work with Brennon. On the day of the event there were 2 staff members, the bartender and event manager. They were both hospitable and hardworking. We even used some space in the parking lot for mechanical rides. We had a Photobooth, face painter, caricaturist, candy buffet, and DJ to name a few that we accommodated for space. Our guests only had GREAT compliments about the venue. There is a lot of parking and easily accessible from the freeway off 95. The drinks were well made.Overall, The Plaza at WR is an awesome venue to hold your event.

Attended a good friend's wedding here, earlier this afternoon. The ceremony was held in the lobby, right past the front door. The reception was also hosted here, a few feet away.The ceremony layout included a few aisles of chairs facing a very elegant, winding staircase (which served as the wedding party "aisle"). The reception included about seven or eight tables with 10 people per table. Food was provided buffet-style in a room down the hall.In my opinion, TPAWH is a great place to have any type of intimate gathering - not just weddings on a budget but also small birthday or graduation parties. Parking is located directly in front of the building, and is ample as well as free (no validation required).All in all, I definitely recommend TPAWH as an event venue for locals and tourists alike.

What a wonderful venue!The 20th high school reunion was held here. The owner was fantastic and really helped make the night special. The drinks were perfectly made, the space was nice, the facility looked great. Cash bar was reasonably priced and I was able to run a tab.This is a great place to have your event!

We had our end of year event here and was not too impressed with what actually turned out. (Btw I was one of the party planners) So we were given a Menu to choose food from, we did that. These caterers were suppose to be ready to serve the food that was chosen at 6:15pm, they did not arrive until after 6:15, so the food was not served until almost 7pm. The guy Nate who was there (a person who was suppose to see that all went as planned, he set up and broke down the tables.) We had to look for him to finally be able to find out where these caterers were. When he answered the question he was not very nice about it. And grudgingly stated they are here by this time it was 6:20 pm. We rented the place out from 6-10pm were the hours our event was taking place. Most people started to leave at 9:15 - 9:30 pm. As we gathered all of our decorations balloons included, he had this big huge bunch of balloons and he Nate was headed outside to let them go! I asked where are you going with those he replied with a smart mouth to let them go.. I said you can't let those go, one they are bad for the environment and there are many electrical wires around here better idea to pop them and throw them out. He replied well I don't care how they are disposed of I just want them out of my building! Well first the building was rented until 10 pm which would put you cleaning up and breaking down at 10:15 pm! The food was late and it wasn't anything we had chosen on the menu! Our selection was Garlic Buttered Potatoes- we got mashed bacon potatoes. Artisan Breast of Chicken, Crimini Mushrooms, Artichokes, Red Peppers, Olives. Butter Sauce- we got a dry overcooked piece of chicken with no flavor, tasted like it was cooked, frozen then reheated. Beef Tri tip grilled with Montreal Rub-we got a rubbery piece of meat that was overcooked, dry and you could not cut it with a knife (plastic knife provided). Caprese Salad- Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic reduction- this was not a salad it was a tomato with mozzarella cheese and basil. Mixed seasonal vegetables-roasted- we got a strange mix of vegetables definitely roasted they had a smoke flavor to them. They told us they do not supply the bread, so we went out and purchased dinner rolls for the meal- they show up with bread slices!So needles to say we could have had our event and the church hall and got a taco truck and had better tasting food. I would not recommend this place for any venue... If you use all of your own people ie caterers, bar tender, dj, and just use the building your venue might turn out alright. But I do not recommend using any of the people they have for food, drinks or etc..... ****Please Note**** The venue building was not the problem however the employees of the owner of the business and his vendors that the venue uses is and was an issue. Also note that I have contacted the owner of " Liquid Courage " the one who runs the venue regarding the problems that occurred. Awaiting his reply.****Update***** 12/26/2018 Still no reply... Well I would have to venture and say that if you book this venue and things don't go well, or if there are issues there will be no answers.

At first I didnt want to write a review...but then thought otherwise because with the thought of someone else going through what we did would be horrible. I will say that the DJ, the caterer and the photographers were VERY PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY. I had a problem with communicating with the provided florist. She took weeks to respond to emails and calls. The communication was very horrible. I had to pay for things that the venue was to provide like things that I wanted for the centerpieces. The venue nor the florist had what I needed so I went out to Michaels and bought everything myself. I gave her exactly the idea that I wanted with pictures included of samples. And she still was lost somehow and not knowing what was going on. With that being said I still received from her forceful suggestions. She called me the day before the wedding begging me to rent a arch when I had already communicated with her that I did not want or need an arch. She even offered to just accept any form of payment no matter how little for her to leave the arch up from another wedding that was previously done. I felt very pressured and irritated. That was very frustrating. I started out with Lisa and was very swept into having my wedding at this location. I was very excited but then when it was time to give the deposit I was met by Regina. Regina seem that she didn't know what was going on because of dealing with Lisa guest or customer. Which was fine because I thought that everything was still be handled the same way. And that time prices changed how things were dealt with changed and I should have take heave and what my husband said and not have done my wedding here at all. The last meeting we met with Regina we were to pay for a 75 guest wedding. In which I told Regina there may or may not be that amount of guests and she reassured me that for however many guess we were over we would get our money back for that difference. We had a balance which I will admit of $600 for a 100 guest count wedding. The day of the wedding I was very overwhelmed already because of mishaps with makeup which I know is it the venue's issues. I had emailed Regina the day before and told her that my husband was skeptical of paying the last payment being that we knew for a fact there wouldn't be a hundred guests. I did not get a response to that email but previously got responses to every other email in communicating. The day of the wedding I did not receive a call from Regina or communication from Regina. I assured her in the previous email that I sent her that we would be paying that last balance either during the reception or after the reception. We knew that we would have family coming in and can always get the money from them. Once again my husband was still skeptical and felt played because when asking Regina how many guests we had she didn't even know how many guests were there. They do not do a guest count. Once I got to the venue I was met by Regina and the first thing that came out of her mouth was about the payment. I gave my husband a call to let him know what was going on. I was very frustrated and thought that Regina would have my best interest interest as a bride and care about my day of the wedding. At that time Regina stopped all the vendors from providing the services because of this $600 difference in balance. She shut down the bar and turned it into a cash bar she told the photographers not to take any pictures and she told the caterer not to serve any food. We had already paid thousands of dollars why does she have to stop certain vendors from doing their job? I was very upset and overwhelmed and thought that she had my best interest at heart but it was all about the money for this place. My concern was to have a stress less day of me getting married to my husband. I understand business is business but you have to understand communication wise and getting things in order and making your guests and your clients feel appreciated like you will do what you can for them. You also have to take in consideration of being professional pulling your clients to the side discussing with them making an arrangement and holding that. She argue with my husband when he had questions at our meetings and the day of the wedding she was very defensive. we had a contract and she let us pay when we can and then all of a sudden day of she wants to be very aggressive. I've never went through anything like this in my lifetime. She didn't care about us enjoying our time or even pulling us a side for the payment she did it in front of guests and really got my husband aggravated and myself aggravated as well. After we were married Regina received the payment from my sister-in-law as we have planned. But it still felt as though she really wasn't putting any effort into making us happy. After that I felt rushed and I just didn't enjoy being there I just wanted to get it over with.

Had my wedding here July 19th 2014 an I couldn't of been more pleased from the time I first went to the plaza an met with Brennon all the way down to the end of my big day. Brennon is very pleasant to work with very easy going an when it comes to your budget he is very accommodating. all the the staff an vendors he sets you up with are absolutely amazing!!!! My wedding was at 7pm he lets us in at noon to start setting up so there was more then enough time which had made my day less stressfull! Parking for guests is very accessible, ceremony an reception all in the same place was the best part an they help the transition move very smoothly all of my guest were impressed I definitely would recommend the plaza to anyone looking to get married!

was so excited to host my daughter's quinceañera at plaza at Whitney ranch, only to be completely let down. A quinceañera is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and this venue failed us in multiple ways.From the start, the decorations and layout were not what we had discussed. After spending so much time planning, it was extremely disappointing to see something completely different from our vision.The DJ provided by the venue was unprofessional and did not follow our requested playlist. Music sets the tone for a celebration, and the lack of attention to our requests really impacted the overall experience.The food situation was unacceptable. We were assured there would be enough for all our guests, even after adding more people at the last minute. However, several guests went without a proper meal. Had I been kept in the loop about this issue, I could have made adjustments, but instead, we were left blindsided.On top of that, the bartender was incredibly slow, taking far too long to make even simple well drinks. To make matters worse, both the bartender and Diane dressed very unprofessionally, which made the event feel even less organized and polished.Please do not make the same mistake I did. Take your business elsewhere. Even if Diane makes the cost seem great, it is not what she makes it seem. You will not get what you think you're paying for, and you'll be left disappointed on a day that should have been perfect.

We had a very beautiful wedding reception here, and it was such a great experience. Mary made sure we had everything covered and kept us on track so everything was done on time. She helped with every detail and had so many wonderful suggestions to make the event an amazing (and affordable) experience. She became a great asset to the whole process. She is such a sweet and caring person, and is focused to make your vision happen. This place is a great venue; I am so glad I chose it, and you will too!
