We got married at Santa Barbara Courthouse right across the street and celebrated our reception at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Distillery — and it was absolutely perfect. When we were first searching for a venue, the first person we met was Andrew. He took the time to show us the space, listen to our vision, and truly understand not just what we wanted, but why we wanted it. From that very first meeting, he gave us the impression that this team puts the customer first — and that if something could be done, they would find a way to make it happen. That turned out to be completely true. From there, Melody and the rest of the team were communicative, quick, and direct, answering every question we had. The venue itself is spacious and stunning, with so much room to make the space entirely your own. We rented out all three spaces, which gave us the room to really spread out and create something special. One of our biggest selling points was that food, bartenders, tables, and chairs, etc were all included — we didn’t want to deal with coordinating a dozen third parties just to have the basics covered, and the fact that it was all taken care of in one place was such a relief. They also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your package, and they were completely flexible with us bringing in our own photobooth and DJ — making it easy to personalize every aspect of the day. The food was absolutely delicious (WE LOVE MIZZAs) and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. If we had a specific vision for something, they found a way to make it happen — no question too big, no detail too small. Our setup was elaborate and detail heavy, with our family and friends bringing our vision to life, and Andrew and the staff jumped right in to help without hesitation. They made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and fun. On the day itself, Melody, Andrew, and the whole team made everything feel effortless and magical. Everything went completely smoothly — we had absolutely no issues from start to finish, which is truly the greatest gift on your wedding day. They served dinner, kept the drinks flowing, and made sure we felt taken care of every single moment. Andrew especially went above and beyond — my husband is obsessed with the bruschetta, and Andrew made sure a plate was saved and ready for him the moment we arrived. It’s those little personal touches that set this team apart. So many thoughtful details made our day unforgettable: early access the day before to set up, staff coordinating with the restaurant next door to get our cake, letting me use the upstairs space to get into my dress before heading to the courthouse, preserving my flowers so I could enjoy them the next day, and giving us the grace to clean up the following morning without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a venue where the team genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for your big day, look no further. We are so, so grateful and would recommend the Santa Barbara Courthouse Distillery to any couple looking for an incredible space to celebrate.

The Vistonian was a lovely venue! We loved all of the greenery and natural light inside the venue. It was spacious and allowed for plenty of room for our guests. The bridal suite was also spacious with lots of mirrors and outlets. We used the venue for both ceremony and reception. It was an easy transition going from one to the next. We worked with Shelly, the venue coordinator, and she was fabulous! Great communication from when we toured, booked, and up to our big day. The value for what we got was amazing as well! We did their all inclusive package and were happy with the price for all that we got: tables & chairs, bridal suite, catering, open bar, and DJ. Honestly, so great if you're on a budget or have a bigger budget and want to spend more on something like decor or florals. Highly recommend!!

I first experienced the magic of Villa Del Sol as a bride in 2016, and it was truly unforgettable. The venue is an absolute hidden gem—stunning, intimate, and full of charm. Everything about my wedding day exceeded expectations. Fast forward to today, and I now have the privilege of working at Villa Del Sol as a preferred vendor through my wedding planning business, Mrs. G Events. It’s hands down my favorite venue to work with! I’ve come to know every detail of the space, and it’s a dream for both clients and vendors. The team of caterers is fantastic—professional, efficient, and always a pleasure to collaborate with. Cosmos Rentals is another standout partner, ensuring the setup process is seamless every time. Whether you’re planning your big day or envisioning a romantic and unique celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend Villa Del Sol. It’s a venue that turns dreams into reality!

How lucky am I to get married where I work! As someone who works weddings every weekend, it was surreal to finally be on the other side and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than with Flora The Venue. I might be a little biased, but the coordination team is genuinely top-tier. A huge thank you to Jameson, Jade, Ash, Angie, and Adam for making my husband and myself feel so supported and celebrated every step of the way. Most of all, I’m so grateful to Katherine, Flora’s owner, for her constant support, guidance, and generosity throughout the planning process. From start to finish, I felt taken care of not just as a client, but as part of the Flora family. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue’s lush greenery and stunning ambiance, many said they never expected such a magical space tucked right in the heart of downtown San Diego. Flora will always hold such a special place in our hearts 3

The most important thing to me when planning my wedding was the quality of the food. I wanted my guests to leave saying it was one of the best meals they'd ever had. I am a wedding vendor and I know that large catered meals are usually blah at best. I got exactly what I wanted at Redbird. The food was AMAZING and their event spaces are gorgeous. Everything else was okay. The information we received at the initial walk-through ended up being less-than-accurate. It's frustrating that there is no real holding space for the smaller spaces when there are multiple events happening at the same time unless you pay for them. It's frustrating that *despite asking before signing a contract and being told it would be fine*, we were not allowed to take photos in any other areas of the building except the one we rented. There were often huge delays in responses to emails. They lost the bottle of wine we specifically requested to take home for our first anniversary (and which we were, of course, billed for). But overall, the food made the frustration worth it.

I was anticipating a seamless event thanks to all the online reviews plus word of mouth from friends, and the Chloe's / Golden Road team truly delivered! We planned our wedding reception to be in the Biergarden & Chloe's, then when LA rain started to trickle down, the staff pivoted so that vendors and guests could enjoy the indoor spaces more. Sarah and Andrew are amazing event managers, and the on-site staff went above and beyond to make it a great reception. Guests were clamoring at the to-go boxes to bring food home at the end of the night (we ordered tons of apps, ribs, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, churros, you name it). We had around 90 people and even though we were mostly limited indoors, I feel like it was plenty of space as folks spread out between the main room, Snug, Barrel Room, and upstairs area. Thank you for making it a wonderful, no-frills and no-stress reception!

I hosted my birthday in the back seating area of Cork and Stem and it was everything I wanted and more! Jenna was extremely helpful with walking me through a food and drink menu that fit my needs. The charcuterie board that they put together was PHENOMENAL! Not only did Jenna go above and beyond to make my birthday feel special but the staff also shared her work ethic and compassion and made it one of the best birthdays ever! I got so many compliments about how cute and chic everything was but the trick was I didn't decorate at all. They were impressed with the natural aesthetic of Cork and Stem! The flower bar is a perfect backdrop for photos. I will definitely be hosting more special occasions here!

Located on the waterfront in Redondo Beach, Bluewater Grill is the perfect location for your wedding festivities. Our private rooms have beautiful harbor views and we would love to help you plan your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception.

We had our wedding reception at Bluewater Grill in Redondo Beach, and it was truly everything we could have hoped for and more. The Event Manager, Vida, was absolutely incredible. She made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Leading up to the event, she was always clear, responsive, and organized, and when a few of our personal hiccups came up the day before, she immediately stepped in with solutions. She even went above and beyond by offering to handle items we had planned to manage ourselves, which took so much stress off our plate. On the day of the wedding, we were completely blown away. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, it truly exceeded expectations. And the setting…you simply can’t beat it. The ocean views and sunset through the windows created the most magical atmosphere for our special day. Our wedding was unforgettable, and we owe so much of that to Vida and her team. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress free, and truly special experience.

I’ve spent a lot of my life looking at structures and solutions, but what happened at Jackalope Ranch for our wedding wasn't about the architecture of a building—it was about the architecture of a soul-level experience. ​We came into this day looking for something authentic and grounded, and what we found was a crew that didn't just "work" an event; they cared for us like family. Amidst record, unseasonably hot weather that could have easily derailed the outdoor spirit of the day, the staff ensured every moment felt effortless. ​Erinmary and Destiny were quiet anchors. We never had to look for them; they were simply there, anticipating needs before they were even spoken. Lillian and Gilbert are names we will carry with us for the way they treated us - we will say hi from now on when we see them. My friends and family haven't stopped talking about the food—several people told me it was the best they’ve ever had at any wedding, period. Even as someone who isn’t a drinker, I heard nothing but praise for the bartenders and the spirit they brought to the house. ​There is a weight to a day like this, a vulnerability in standing before those you love. Jackalope Ranch gave us the room to breathe. Whether it was the privacy of the events room to cool off, the stunning backdrop for our first look, helping to arrange the seating and tables or the photo shoot at the bar, they gave us the run of the place with our best interests at heart. We felt like celebrities, but more importantly, we felt seen and supported. ​I suggested they could say they "put the elope in Jackalope," but for us, they put the heart in it. It was flawless, honest, and truly unforgettable.

Blue Agave Club is part of a family of great Mexican Restaurants located in the Bay Area. Located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, Blue Agave Club first opened its doors in April, 1997. Being the very first restaurant in the area to debut high-end Mexican cuisine, it was clear there was something special about Blue Agave from the very beginning. Boasting an impressive list of premium tequila, BAC had a huge impact on our community by introducing the art of tequila tasting. It wasn’t long before we quickly became well known for our 100% Blue Agave Tequila margaritas, featuring a secret homemade sweet and sour recipe.

We had the most amazing engagement party at Blue Agave Club! The staff was extremely helpful and were extremely attentive to all needs. Our guests loved the food and drinks - they are excellent! I would recommend Blue Agave to anyone looking to host an event as the private back patio is great for large groups. We had around 85 people and decided to use the backyard as an informal cocktail space with shared appetizers and then moved to the front patio to have dinner. The evening was magical and we felt so much love and effort go into our event, we couldn't be happier with having it at Blue Agave!

I cannot stop raving about this venue and the whole event planning team. We had such an amazing experience having out wedding at the Horton Grand Hotel, it makes me want to do it all over again. The venue itself is beautiful and provides a perfect romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. Planning a wedding this year during COVID was nothing short of difficult but Jennifer and the whole event planning staff were so helpful and understanding throughout the whole planning process and really made planning this wedding and keeping our original date so easy. Jennifer constantly kept us updated on the current status of the hotel and was amazing at relaying information related to closures and events to us. She was knowledgeable about the restrictions and helped us plan for a day that was not only perfect in every way but also provided safety to our guests. It was a pleasure having our wedding at such a beautiful location and we were so pleased with how it all turned out and the responsiveness of the staff. There were a number of last minute challenges that made our planning stressful, it was worth every stress and the staff at the Horton Grand Hotel helped us through every set back allowing us to fully enjoy our day.

I am a wedding planner and Marigold was a beautiful space for my couple's engagement party that was actually a non-traditional surprise wedding! In the middle of the party, my couple tied the knot shocking all of their guests. Everything could not have been more perfect. The team at Marigold was super communicative, polite, and helpful. The location is perfect for a San Francisco cocktail reception. The pricing was fantastic and the ambiance is really what impressed my couple. Highly recommend this event space!
