5 stars is an understatement

We had an amazing evening. Great food? Great music? Great drinks? All checked. Everything was perfect! Any big events I have will now be at La Mariposa. The reason is due to the staff. You cannot find these beautiful souls anywhere else. It is these people, who truly made the night unforgettable.

Johnny: The DJ who does it ALL. He helped with every detail of the planning, decision making, and brainstorming. Thanks to him, the night flowed smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. His ideas were brilliant (he even made my decorating better!) and I'm still getting calls from guests just praising him. He had 90 year-olds on the dance floor and made several personal touches, too numerous to list. He has the biggest heart wrapped up in the most professional demeanor I've ever seen.

Amanda: Our lovely coordinator who also makes the best martini in town. Not only did she work the bar expertly, she gave me the best menu recommendations, kept constant communication during the planning, charmed all our guests, and put out every fire. She is on it.

These people are pros....with hearts. I've had MANY large events at several places in town, but have never left with the desire to adopt the staff. They truly deserve all the credit for our memorable night. You can't go wrong when the staff cares just as much about your event as you do. These dynamic folks will do everything to make your event perfect. Johnny and Amanda, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Absolutely beautiful venue

Our wedding at La Mariposa was a dream come true! The venue is absolutely stunning. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue's beauty, and we're incredibly grateful for the unforgettable memories made there. John and Amanda were also wonderful to work with and made the day of stress-free for me (the bride!), which is a huge deal.
