The Norris Center Pavilion is in Rolling Hills Estates and is only about 5 minutes away from the Wayfarers Chapel where we’re having our ceremony. June, the facility wedding coordinator is such a sweet lady and had all our questions answered before we could ask them!  The room is a traditional banquet style setting with an adjacent outdoor terrace.  The lobby and bar area at the front of the building can be used for the cocktail hour.  There is a big water fountain in the front of the building (very pretty)!  The facility was great overall and the price was right on target with our budget.  They have a list of 10 caterers who they partner with and as long as you stick to one of them there are no additional charges outside the site fee.  Unfortunately with us targeting a Thursday wedding date, they are not available on Thursdays since its also serves as a dance theater during the week where they hold dance classes and such.  It also does not really have a view of anything but the hill that backs up the facility and I’m really going for a city or ocean view if possible.  I ranked them #4 out of my 5 venue visits only because again, I just want something “different” and outside the typical banquet room reception.  If anyone wants more details I have a spreadsheet and other info I can share!  You can find pictures of the pavilion I posted previously here.
