We are grateful to have hosted our wedding at the Diamond Seafood Palace #3. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and above all – stress-free. We had been searching for a venue that could comfortably accommodate 300–400 guests, felt modern and elegant, and offered great value. After speaking with multiple places, the team here stood out immediately for their responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care, especially Laura, who helped us understand what the venue provided before we booked it.
Our ceremony and reception both took place inside the restaurant, and even though another event was happening in a different section of the venue, we barely noticed thanks to the effective soundproofing.
The space had a romantic and modern vibe, complete with golden chairs, multiple LED screens showcasing our wedding photos, custom lighting with our names on the dance floor, and a romantic sweetheart table. We were amazed at how much was included: from elegant aisle décor and a red carpet entrance to a seating chart mirror and photobooth. The centerpieces were tasteful and truly brought the whole look together.
Guests enjoyed how spacious the venue was and loved the delicious food – with plenty of generous portions and leftovers to bring home. The service was outstanding; every waiter was attentive and efficient, making sure everyone felt well taken care of.
A major highlight was our venue coordinator, Anh Bao, who was not only calm and easy to work with, but also accommodating. When we realized last-minute that we had under-ordered beer, he quickly helped us get more without any hassle.
If you’re looking for a venue that delivers elegance, value, and above-and-beyond service, we can’t recommend Diamond Seafood Palace #3 enough. Our wedding day was unforgettable, and this venue played a huge part in making...
Read moreWe scheduled a tasting appointment on November 15th after confirming our wedding date was available on November 9th. However, during our visit, we discovered they had double-booked our preferred room just days after our initial confirmation.
The venue offered us a less desirable corner section as an alternative, but their approach to resolving their error was unprofessional. When we inquired about an open bar for our 100 guests, the manager dismissively called it “a waste of alcohol.” Additional charges were mentioned for basic setup items with no consideration for their booking mistake.
Most concerning was their tasting policy: you pay the full menu price ($598 in our case) upfront, receiving a 50% refund only if you book. Since they failed to inform us about the double-booking beforehand, we felt trapped into paying for a tasting we wouldn’t have scheduled had we known the truth. When we requested time to consider our options, they initially demanded full payment despite their error.
The staff showed no accountability for their mistake and were unapologetic throughout. After extensive discussion, they provided a partial discount, but the damage was done. We ultimately chose another venue.
For couples planning their wedding: verify room availability in writing and be aware of their non-refundable tasting policy before committing to an...
Read moreI had my wedding at Diamond Seafood 3 in July 2024, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The venue owner - uncle Bao, is an absolute professional and a huge help throughout the entire process. We had so many questions leading up to the big day, and he was always there, patiently answering everything and providing guidance. What really stood out was his genuine care in making our wedding affordable - he offered suggestions to minimize our budget wherever possible, rather than pushing us to spend more on additional services!
The venue itself was beautifully decorated - simple yet elegant, which perfectly suited the atmosphere we wanted to create. The food was amazing, served in large portions, and absolutely delicious! The staff was also incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure everything ran smoothly.
After the wedding, we received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and the venue itself. I’m so grateful to uncle Bao for making our special day so beautiful and memorable. I highly recommend Diamond Seafood 3 to anyone looking for a wedding venue in OC - it truly exceeded our...
