For couples working with a realistic budget, Diamond Seafood Palace is one of the better-value options in OC for a full multi-course banquet. The brand runs three locations: the original on Lampson Ave in Stanton, a second on Brookhurst St in Garden Grove, and the newest in Westminster. All three have professional lighting systems and LED screens, plus in-house decor options including stage setups, floral arrangements, and LED backdrops that you can supplement or swap out with your own. The Westminster location is the most modern of the three, with a sleek ballroom, LED walls, high ceilings, and adjustable lighting that gives it a more elevated feel.

Five fully customizable multi-course menus span a range of price points, with banquet staples like cold platters, lobster, steamed fish, and fried rice, as well as premium add-ons like Chilean sea bass, seared scallops, and suckling pig if you want to go up a tier. Every package regardless of menu level comes with wedding cake (for parties of 25+ tables), champagne for the cake table, a fog machine for the first dance, centerpieces, glassware, linens, a dance floor gobo, and a slideshow. Open bar is available separately, with a full liquor list including Hennessy, Tito's, Maker's Mark, and Casamigos, plus licensed bartenders.

One thing worth knowing: the venues do host multiple events simultaneously, separated by partitions and separate entrances. Most couples report that the sound bleed is minimal, but it's worth factoring in if that kind of setup bothers you. Best for couples who want a modern setting, a solid banquet menu, and a package that doesn't require sourcing a dozen vendors separately, without paying luxury venue prices to get there.
