We booked the Ebell Long Beach for our wedding on February 24, 2024 and besides the fact that it was hands down the most gorgeous venue we'd seen, the people that we worked with solidified our decision. We worked with Jen from our very first tour of the venue up until the day before our wedding when she helped us put the finishing touches on our big day. For over a year, she was consistent in her very fast response times (we're talking hours, if not minutes) and eagerness to make our event feel like one-of-a-kind. When our family members showed up to the venue without an appointment, she gave them a tour on the spot. This is just one example of the attentiveness she showed us when she was undoubtedly juggling hundreds of other couples at the same time. Another invaluable team member of the Ebell LB was Katie. She stepped in a couple months ahead of our wedding for our design meeting to handle all of the event's logistics including layout, vendors, and timeline. She was gracious and creative when it came to problem-solving, something that we were so grateful for since she was the one representing the venue. Even after getting engaged the week before our design meeting, she made it all about us when we should've been celebrating her!!! Katie and our coordinator worked so well together to ensure that our wedding day went without a single hiccup. Lastly, Chef Adam, a chef for Tres LA, was another invaluable member of the team who made our wedding day perfect. On the day of our tasting, Chef Adam personally came out after each course to ask for our feedback. This was totally unexpected and an incredible experience because beyond being able to select our menu from an extensive list, we were able to personalize it even further. He even accommodated us when we asked to include pigs in a blanket as one of our hors d'oeuvres, which wasn't on their menu to begin with! We're not exaggerating when we say that most of our guests followed up with us that this was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The excellence and consistency that we received from this team made our planning journey smooth, and we're so lucky that the Ebell LB is now a meaningful place in our lives and our relationship.

We fell inlove with the Ebell Long Beach right from the beginning and knew that this would be the perfect place to host the most important day of our lives, our wedding. The venue itself is stunning. So much so that over the course of the planning, every time we came back, we had to pause for a moment to just take it all in.

Our events manager Jen was a joy to work with! She was always prompt, engaging, friendly, and gave great recommendations.

The wedding day came and the venue was on point, service was great and the catered food from Tres LA delicious. Our guests loved the venue, enjoyed all the food and had a truly wonderful time . The venue definitely played a big part in making our wedding more than we could have hoped.

I can't say enough good things about the Ebell Club!!! It was the first venue my then fiance and I looked at because it is right down the street from where we live. After seeing it and meeting Richelle, no other venue compared! You get so much with this venue for such a reasonable price! The layout is perfect and the style is a mix of 20s style with california spanish architecture. So beautiful!

The Ebell Club really is the reason my wedding went SO well! The whole process was so smooth from start to finish because of Richelle who was my main point of contact the whole time. The best part about her and the venue is that they make sure your wedding is exactly what you want it to be. There are not many strict rules or set ways of things should be done so you have the freedom to make it what you want. Also, every time I had a question, Richelle was super fast at responding and giving her opinion on things which was very helpful!

I was also able to drop off all of our decorations the week before the wedding so I didn't have to worry about getting it there on wedding weekend. During the wedding and reception, Richelle and Jen we amazing because they made everything stay on track and timeline run smoothly with no lulls in the night but we never felt rushed either. And they always kept my drink full which was much appreciated! And Richelle brought my husband and I appetizers after the ceremony which was awesome! I would definitely recommend getting the day of coordination because I don't know what I would have done without them!! Also they let us pick everything up the next day! Jen met us there at 11 AM the next morning and made sure we got everything we needed. So helpful to not have to rush around that night and worry about anything.

If you want a flexible and fun wedding planning experience, have your wedding at the Ebell Club!! I cannot think of one thing that went wrong and it was all because of the amazing help from Richelle and Jen!
