If I could give it a zero I would, I had or "have", I should say, a contract with this people for Dec 3rd 2016, so I thought!!!!! I have never been treated as little or next to nothing, as this people made me feel today,. A week ago I went to get pricing info and kinda did a walk through with Miss Gabby, and was told that only 3 Saturdays were left, Dec 3rd bieng one of them, so we selected Dec. 3rd, and signed the contract. To make a long story short, Toyota called them after me and wanted the same day we had, Dec 3rd. The week after that Miss Gabby and I had been playing phone tag, When Miss Gabby and I finally spoke on Wednesday, I let her know that "yaramin" had left me a weird message, that did not make sense, talking about Dec 10th, like if I was talking to them for the first time. Miss Gabby assured me everything was fine and did tell me that Toyota was interested on the same day we had, but not to worry because we had gone there before them and that we already had the contract, and that with them its "always" first come first serve, I was doing my payment over the phone, but I just had an uneasy filling. So today I called Gabby and told her that I would just go there in person to make my payment. When I got there, Miss Gabby was joking with us about Yaramin, still wanting Toyota to get the date, because" its more $$$ for them, and Gabby reminded her the date was already under contract,.and Gabby said that Yaramin said that we better have all the down payment then, already being very condescending towards us. Miss Gabby said "no they can do the $500 by weekly" and that Yaramin had said "fine", but all the while when we were in the office doing the payment, Gabby was texting with Yaramin, then after the payment was done, this very rude lady interrupts us and asked me if I spoke Spanish, then she said that her daughter "Yaramin" had just gotten of the phone with her, and that she was sorry but that "Toyota" has been hiring them for Dec 3rd for the past 4 years. And so that day was taken already, and it is always reserved for them,!!!!! I told this lady we had a contract for that day already and if they have it reserve for Toyota every year like she says, how come the future calendars for 2017 and 2018 that the have up on the wall in the office do not have that day reserved for them, not even Dec 3rd 2016 was reserved for them, and she flat out blamed it on Gabby and said that Gabby should have known and belittled her employee in front of us and said, that they were going to have a talk with her about it, I told this lady that Miss Gabby had no fault in this. Bottom line, my daughters sweet 16 was not going to amount to the amount of money Toyota is paying for their event, so no matter what I tried telling this lady, she did not care and just kept saying sorry the date is for Toyota . This people literally forced the down payment back to us and did not give a rats ass how she was treating us, all she saw was $$$$$$ coming from Toyota... "KARMA" is all I have to say. What starts of bad, ends up bad. Hopefully TOYOTA does get that day and they dont end up with nothing for that day, since they went to such an extreme to make us feel so little.

GORGEOUS reception site. Just had my wedding reception there in the main ballroom and it impressed the entire crowd. Beyond impressed - they were more like swept away. They took care of everything for me, including the decorations, favor placements, setting up our appetizer tables, making sure vendors had access when they needed it, and way more. The site managers stayed up all night with our wedding with their families in order to make sure it was going according to plan. They were relaxed enough to let us bring our own liquor in but still maintained a breathtaking decoration scheme and elegant atmosphere. The only complaint I have was just with the quality of the food. It was delicious, but I feel the price outweighed the taste on that front. Other than that, the Emporium was a true bargain for the stress it took off my shoulders. I will DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone who asks. For the south side of San Antonio, this is truly a diamond in the rough. I wish these guys the best of luck for the future!

They were great! They did an excellent job. I am glad they just didnt throw it together. They made sure it was done right. They were very thorough and very detailed. Thank you for making it a great event! I would highly recommend them to everyone and I have. I even included their name on the thank you notes because I have never experienced such a dedicated company to make sure the job is done right! You just dont find that in todays society. They take a lot of pride in their work. Thank you once again.

We had my daughters Sweet 16 party at this venue and it exceeded our expectations. My daugther stated it was "perfect"! The service was professional yet very friendly and accommodating, food was delicious, and the decorations were gorgeous. Our family and friends were very impressed but most importantly had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this venue for your next party. We will certainly use it again. Thank you Gabrielle and Yaramin for making my daughters day special.

Yarlen Linens and Emporium are the best at what they do! They help you with your special events from start to finish. I use them for linen service and they are always helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great venue and amazing linens. Yaramin and her team is great at what they do and care for all their clients. Give them a call and set up an appointment today.

As an Event Planner & Coordinator, I have been happy to do business with Yarlen for several years. Their inventory of table linens is fabulous, and probably one of the best in San Antonio. They are always willing to accommodate a client. Ive never been disappointed in their customer service. Yaramin is a busy lady, but always a pleasure to work with. Sandi Karam

My wedding reception at the Emporium by Yarlen was perfect and everything I was wanting for my special day! Yaramin was very helpful in making sure everything turned out as I had envisioned and the result exceeded my expectations! My guests were very impressed and complimented me on the venue throughout the night. Would definitely recommend!

My daughters quince at this venue was an excellent experience. I didnt have to move a finger as the staff was very attentive before, during, and after the event. We had so many positive comments on how beautiful the venue looked. If I had another daughter, I would hold her quince here.

If I could give lower stars I would,be warned if theres someone thats trying to get the same date as you are and are paying more money,the owners(yaramin,& her rude mother) will have no problem in kicking you out of your spot to give it to them. Extremely unprofessional.
