NOOR has won the title “Best of Pasadena” for nine years now. It features two elegant ballrooms and a picturesque outdoor courtyard, as well as a terrace that are all available to host your special day. One of the ballrooms is art-deco designed while the other is art-nouveau inspired. The ballrooms are full of history and beauty with advanced lighting and audio-visual systems to make every photo and video come out crystal clean. Whether you love an indoor or outdoor setting, this venue gives you the best of both worlds.

Tip 1: Always ideal to start early and get photos at the Pasadena Cityhall before heading to NOOR
Tip 2: There are two getting ready rooms at NOOR

Getting Ready at NOOR

Noor offers a bridal suite tucked above the Terrace, where you and your wedding party can get ready overlooking the courtyard as it’s set for your ceremony below. The natural light and quiet vantage point make it a favorite spot for our Lulan Studio team to capture unhurried getting-ready details before the day’s events begin.
