About Us

A Downtown Fresno landmark, reimagined for your event

From a 1960s building to a 9,000 sq ft ballroom — here's the story behind The Palomino, and the team bringing it to life.

Our History

Built in the late 1960s. Reimagined for today.

The Palomino is housed in a building constructed in the late 1960s, right in the heart of Downtown Fresno. Its original mid-century character soaring 24-foot ceilings, striking chandeliers, and custom doors has been carefully preserved.Today that same space has been reimagined as a 9,000 square foot event venue, accommodating up to 350 guests, with its own secured parking lot and easy access right off Highway 99 and 180.

Our Mission

A neutral, flexible space  built around your vision

We believe the best venue is one that gets out of the way. That's why The Palomino offers a clean, customizable ballroom rather than a fixed theme, so every wedding, quinceañera, or corporate event can look and feel completely different.We're proudly vendor-friendly — bring in the vendors you already trust, or let us handle everything with one of our all-inclusive packages. Either way, our goal is simple: help you bring your vision to life, stress-free.
