"DO NOT CONSIDER Pure Banquet Hall. It all began when I requested a quote for a lunch event and was quoted $55 per person (plus 15% service). Upon visiting the venue, it smelled of smoke, despite assurances that there wouldn't be any on the event day. I attempted to negotiate the price down to $50 per person due to the small lunch menu, and was told the owner, Grieg, would call to discuss. Grieg called, refused to work within my budget, and suggested I go down the street for burgers, all while being rude and yelling. I informed him that I couldn't trust working with someone like him. After reaching out to others who had weddings there and confirming the horrible food, I'm relieved it didn't work out. Avoid wasting your time with such a rude owner!"

I want to express my appreciation to the Pure Banquet Hall team, especially Violet, for their exceptional work. The venue itself was beautifully decorated, and the attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was in place for our unforgettable event. From the moment we communicated our ideas to the event's end, everyone involved took care of every detail with professionalism and expertise. Their attention to detail made all the difference in creating a seamless and flawless experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything was organized as we expected. I highly recommend this venue for any and every event. Thank you once again for the unforgettable moments!

Beautiful venue and tasty food. Generous staff I must say Violet the manager is an amazing lady. Very helpful and promising. What ever she said would be on the menu that she recommended was delicious. She made sure my event was beautiful and my guests were pleased. Will definitely do my parties at pure.

Omg this place was so nasty it smelled like food.I saw around 2 rats while I was dining here.The chicken tasted a little off then I saw a cockroach fried inside my chicken when I asked the waiter if I could have a refund she turned into a gorilla and attacked me now I'm deaf and blind and am dead.

Another epic party! This is my second time having a party at Pure banquet hall, and they do not disappoint! Violet is an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, she was always available to answer all of my questions and make sure that everything went as smooth as possible. Everyone raved about the food and the ambiance. Thank you so much for an amazing night that we will remember forever! We will definitely recommend your business to all of our friends!

Horrible service manager is not doing her job properly I'm surprised how they keep her as a manager I will give one star to the place

The banquet is quite nice and large! We have a soft spot in our hearts for this location because we adore the constant lighting, which is ideal for our photobooth and portrait photography. If you're organizing a wedding, be sure to plan early and make sure there's adequate space for your guests! Expect to pay at least 20% in other miscellaneous additions but you can save if you hire non-venue related contractors/photographers, just make sure you mention this to the one managing your event!

Where do I even begin? Pure Banquet Hall is amazing and perfect in every way! It was my first choice for a hall when planning my baby's first birthday, and I am so glad we decided to have our event here. The owner, Violet, is the nicest, most understanding woman ever. She made the process so simple and stress-free for my husband and I. From the moment we met her, to the day of the event, she listened to all our needs and met (and passed) all of our expectations. She was always one phone call/text away when I had questions and she was present the entire day of the event, making sure everything was perfect. One of the most important things for us when booking a banquet hall is the food, and Pure Banquet truly has the yummiest appetizers and main courses! As a bonus, the hall itself is so beautiful and modern, which makes it so much easier since there is no need to rent tables/chairs. We are so happy with our experience here that we will definitely be booking them for future events. Thank you Violet and team!
