Getting Married at Mon Amour Banquet in Anaheim

Mon Amour Banquet in Anaheim handles a big guest list well: the room comfortably held cocktail hour and reception for 220 guests at Carly and Harry's wedding, and the layout let us move the whole night from grand entrance to open dancing without losing energy in the transitions. If you're planning a wedding there, the biggest thing to get right is staging: knowing when each moment happens and where the crowd's attention needs to be.

I'm Joe, the DJ behind DJ MOJOE. Carly and I had already worked together twice before her own wedding, she'd been the coordinator on two weddings where I was the DJ, so by the time it was her turn, we knew exactly how to build her night together. Here's what I learned about Mon Amour Banquet along the way.

How many guests can Mon Amour Banquet comfortably hold?

Plenty. Carly and Harry's wedding ran cocktail hour and a full reception for 220 guests in the space without it ever feeling cramped or forcing an awkward layout. If your guest list is on the larger side, this venue can handle it without you having to cut your list to fit the room.

What does a typical wedding night look like there?

Expect a full, moment-by-moment reception: grand entrance, first dance, family introductions, a champagne toast, dinner, parent dances, toasts, table visits, and cake cutting, all before the dance floor really opens up. At Carly and Harry's wedding, we ran through every one of those moments, plus a dessert station (Joe's Italian Ice, a shaved ice cart the guests loved) between dinner and cake.

The venue's flow makes it easy to keep guests engaged between the formal moments instead of losing them to their phones during a lull. Build your timeline with enough breathing room between each moment, but not so much that the energy drops.

Can the venue handle a cultural mix in the celebration?

Yes, and it's worth planning for on purpose if that's part of your celebration. Carly and Harry's wedding included a surprise wedding party dance that kicked the party into gear, followed by a group photo and a set of traditional Khmer/Cambodian dances before the room shifted into open dancing and EDM later in the night. Blending a structured cultural moment with a modern open dance floor takes planning, not improvisation, so walk your DJ through exactly what traditions you want included and where they fit in your timeline.

Where should the DJ be set up in the room?

On a stage, if the room has one, so the newlyweds and the night's key moments stay visible to the whole crowd. At Carly and Harry's wedding, being staged up front let us bring the couple and their friends up during the last stretch of EDM to close the night with everyone's eyes on them, exactly where a couple should be at the end of their own reception.
