Scottish Rite Masonic Center

I went here to check out the Sinister Comic Con this Saturday. The center had its own large parking plus which was a plus. Upon entering, my friend and I were given a bad of goo dings as we got the VIP package. The center it self was larger than expected; the event occurred into two rooms and in the hallway that connects both rooms. Before looking at any of the booths, we headed to the restroom. I will warn you know that the bathrooms has a strong bad odor. yuck! Though it was fun to walk around see all the creations and talk to a few of the artists. My favorite part was meeting Tate from Face off. He was a very friendly and down to earth artist. I say the location for the event was good and I found it to be pretty organized. Definitely work on those bathrooms though!

I am giving the Scottish rite 2 stars. It is really nice and large but the customer service is horrible! I was looking for a venue for my wedding 200 – 300 people so this place had the space. It was nice, large and you can take your own alcohol and food. No cater required. Sounded great. However I called and emailed numerous times and got no calls or emails back. Finally I just stopped by and by luck i was actually able to see the place. After words I told the man helping me I would have to come back with my fiancé and parents. He said no problem to email him with whatever time on the weekend works. I did so and he responded that Saturday at 1:30 worked. My parents, in laws and fiancé showed up and he wasn’t there. I tried calling him and nothing. He never showed never emailed back to apologize. My fiancé were really annoyed, since our parents made a special trip to see the place. We got lucky that there people getting the place ready for a crab feed, we were able to get into the building. I would not recommend this place, horrible Customer service, they really need a better coordinator. When talking to the people for the crab feed they said you basically have to show up with money and a signed contract to rent the place. That’s pretty bad. Needless to say I ended up going somewhere else with excellent customer service.

As someone who has attended events here and has also had an event here, I have to say that the event space is very visitor-​centric and easy to use. Lots of free parking with plenty of shade during the hot Sacramento summers, the ladies room has that old school lounge feel and there is lots of space for auction items, dancing, catering, you name it!
The place could use some updating, but overall, it’s a great space to visit for an event and is conveniently located not too far from Highway 50 or Fair Oaks Blvd.

The Masonic Center oozes class and cleanliness. This isn’t your run of the mill multipurpose space with decaying facilities. This is as good as it gets when you’re looking for some place to hold a memorable event or fundraiser.
I was honored to be here as a a «distinguished» guest judge for the 4^th Clubhouse Sandwich Contest, in which various area restaurants competed for prizes with all ticket proceeds going to charity. These charity events are a common occurrence at the center. It seems those who run it from behind the scenes know exactly what is important for the community. I chatted up one of the event organizers and they were proud to have the fundraiser at such a beautiful, clean place.
There is plenty of parking and it’s in a lovely neighborhood next to Sacramento State. Really, what reason would an event planner have to look elsewhere?

Our group holds a public event here each year.
Low-​energy lighting has been installed. It was so dark this time that nobody could see anything.
Bring a flashlight.

This semi-​dated venue us a GREAT hall for events with large groups! My work often has events here and it can accommodate 400+ people. The staff is short on pleasantries, but big on attention to detail, hardwork & pleasing their customers. The hall is old but clean and well kept. It’s a very central location too, which makes it nice for countywide events. All-​in-​all, SRM is legit!

I am reviewing this venue from the point of view as a visitor to an event
I’ve been here twice for the Capitol Post Card Show
Nice building and clean bathrooms with ample stalls.
A large parking lot
A nice patio area in the center of the building
The kitchen appears to work well
The light in the main room seems a bit dim.
It might be that way at the request of the postcard vendor. I’m not sure, I think it is easier to sell postcards if customers can see details and that does require good light.
