The Palazzo By Khoshbin

  • Up to 225 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Offer

Experience unparalleled luxury at The Palazzo by Khoshbin, Costa Mesa's premier destination for exclusive events. Specializing in weddings, corporate events, private parties, and grand celebrations, our venue offers a diverse range of beautifully designed spaces suitable for any occasion. From opulent ballrooms to elegant gardens, The Palazzo is perfect for hosting memorable gatherings. Additionally, our venue is ideal for theater productions, photoshoots, and movie productions, offering versatile settings that cater to creative and professional needs alike.

This venue is straight out of Italy! Not only is this space incredibly unique, but the architecture is unlike anything you will see in California. From the Roman columns and fountains, to the hand-crafted gold ceilings, artwork, and millwork, the gorgeous staircases throughout, and massive space. The sheer beauty of this place is unmatched. The opportunities are also endless with how many different rooms and spaces there are within the venue itself. I had the honor of hosting my wedding here and it will forever be such a beautiful memory, due largely to the stunning and unique setting. We had our ceremony outdoors, surrounded by the columns and fountains, and the reception was indoors in the large upstairs ballroom. Both areas flowed perfectly with our theme, and all with incredible ease. I am already thinking of events to host here next! The Palazzo by Khoshbin is truly one of a kind.
