What is a good place for Prom in California not too far from Los Angeles? Where was your prom?

Question

My class cabinet is looking for Prom places without a prom organizer because we just dont have that money. Do you know any places that are in/near LA that would be a great Prom place?

Answer 1

a few places that my school has held dances(including prom) were, gameworks(midwinter), the marconi automotive museum(prom),& the valencia at the national orange show(midwinter)

Answer 2

Our prom was at the Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Answer 3

A lot depends on your expected attendance and target budget (per couple).  Castaways in Burbank can be quite nice with their banquet halls looking out over the city.  The Boneventure or Sheraton Grand downtown are OK, just nice hotels in area with crappy parking.

If your school has an alumni association, you chould get in touch with them to see if any alum works at a banquet style place or has any suggestions that worked well (heck, you might get lucky and find an alum that is a prom planner that'll at least help you a bit without charge).  If your school has a history with a certain venue, the value should certainly be there.
