Capitol Plaza Halls

This venue seemed decent when we first toured it however things went left fast. I've been planning events since 2019 and never had these experiences with a venue. few days before our event they called us and asked us if we needed Wi-Fi because it would be an $80 charge which is insane considering the price your already paying for the venue. Thank god my DJ didn't need it anyway. We rented out the downstairs ball room come day of none of the outlets worked took forever for them to fix them. The lady that was in charge day of new no English so it was very hard to communicate our issues. We paid a large fee for an ice machine that was on the 3rd floor every time our caterer needed it she had to ask for it and wait. We rented flatware and silverware that we needed to bus and clean off ourselves which was not communicated to us in our meeting. The venue it self is very dark so make sure your photographers have plenty of lighting. I would never recommend this place to any client unfortunately.

This review is for the Grand Ballroom itself only, not the staff.I was in Sacramento for a conference a couple weeks ago, which was located in The Grand Ballroom. The venue is very large and spacious but is quite old and run-down. The outside of the building is plain so you'll have to keep an eye out for it or you'll drive past it. The walls are plain and seemed grungy, and there wasn't anything notable about the ballroom. While it definitely got the job done for a conference, it would definitely need a lot of dazzling up for something like a wedding. The other venues of Capital Plaza Halls might be more fancy. The Grand Ballroom room itself is totally functional, but the restrooms are in need of major upgrades and expansions. The appliances are old, and with so many people in attendance and only a few stalls, the bathroom lines were outrageous and the ventilation in the bathroom hallways was poor.

I had the pleasure of being the DJ for a wedding at the nostalgic Capitol Plaza Ballroom. First time there. What a great space with lots of history. From the old-time elevator to the beautiful architecture, Capitol Plaza is definitely a great place to have a wedding. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that it was missing one important thing -- wi-fi. Because I post throughout my event and put together photo galleries, this was the only disappointment. I am sure that this is something that can be easily fixed.

Located on 9th Street, across from Rite Aid.Parking garages are available as well as street parking after certain hours.The venue is old. It smelled old. It looks like an abandoned building from outside. The highlight: the elevator. Everyone kept mentioning how cool the elevator is and what's up with the guy working the elevator. The elevator was a picture spot for many.The Fraternity Room is very ornate. A large rectangular room with no obstructions. High Ceilings. For the wedding reception, the buffet was set up in the next room along with a bar. Their staff was pretty swift with changing out pans, picking up dishes, refilling pitchers on the tables, etc.Shit was smooth.

I had the most amazing experience working with Lynette and team at the Capitol Plaza Ballrooms, Silver Room on 9th street. She made my dream wedding come true!!! Lynette was a calm and professional, sweet and excited for me, and she knew her stuff! My guests are still asking me about the AMAZING food and it was all catered in-house by Capitol Plaza! I highly recommend this venue, my wedding was pure magic. :)

We had my sisters engagement here this month in August and we did not have the best experience.First off it VERY hot in the ballroom it was like an oversized sauna. Everyone was fanning themselves with plates which ruined the videos.We had our hair done but it was so hot we all had to put our hair up, the dance floor was a sweat fest you could not dance for too long because it was so hot and sticky.It was really upsetting it was a very special day and the guest who had children had to leave early and a lot of people had to go outside due to the heat and missed a lot of the ceremony.The worst part was the guest were approaching me and my parents and asking us to find a way to fix the issue and turn the air on. It was hard for me to enjoy the night because I was running around looking for someone to help and there was no one there at all! The only person there was operating the elevator and he said he could not help.Even the kitchen staff were sweating like crazy which is not a good environment to be working in. I have never been to a hall where it was this hot.I am very upset and did not have a good experience here, I feel like they should have been honest and told us the BALLROOM would be this hot.Later we found out the AC unit went out and we ONLY found this out because WE called THEM while we were there and NOBODY CAME TO FIX IT!! They should have warned us, I wish we could have had this engagement somewhere else. Beware.Update: after looking at the guest snapchat pictures, it shows it was 90 degrees in there!!

My guests loved rehearsal and reception placed! Rosalinda was great to work with and very flexible. If you need a large place get the grand! If not get the silver room! Rosalinda let us set up before the event and it was amazing! Please don't hesitate to hire and rent their venue!

Food quality is better than the downtown hotels, at a fraction of the price. Ornate vaulted ceilings and crown moldings are just part of the funky ambience you'll be experiencing--- along with a rickety old elevator, aging bathroom fixtures, and hinky electrical outlets (all common with historic older buildings). My first event (back in 1988) was in the Temple Room (3rd floor), my most recent event was in the Fraternity Room (also on 3rd floor). The "Silver Room" (a.k.a. The Dungeon) is actually a converted basement, and not recommended. I've known John, the executive chef, for 20 years and I can't say enough about his culinary skills. Its amazing what he's able to provide for budget brides! They get Hyatt quality for a Grange Hall price. the building gets 3 stars (mostly due to parking issues), but the food gets 5 stars (for banquet food).

Get some air conditioner. Food was okay but everyone is dying from the heat like fix it my god

Wouldn't bother booking with them, it's very run down, staff is terrible and shady. Would definitely avoid.
