Dream Wedding!

We had our wedding at La Venta Inn last summer & it was absolutely perfect. Aside from the incredibly gorgeous views, gardens, and vintage architecture, the team at La Venta made the whole process smooth & fun. They hooked us up with an amazing wedding planner, handled all things related to the catering, and had a great staff working on the day. It was our dream wedding & our guests were so impressed.

Here’s a strong but professional complaint message you can send to the hairstylist:

Hi [Hairstylist's Name],

I wanted to reach out regarding the service you provided for my mom’s updo on my wedding day. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. Her hairstyle was so poorly done that she had to wash her hair completely and redo it after arriving at our hotel. I have photos before and after as proof of how unacceptable the service was.

This caused a lot of unnecessary stress on such an important day, and we were truly dissatisfied with the experience. Given the circumstances,

Here’s a more informal and angry version of your message:

Hey [Hairstylist's Name],

I just wanted to let you know how unbelievably disappointed we were with the updo you did for my mom on my wedding day. It was a complete mess—so bad that she had to wash her hair the moment she got back to the hotel and we had to redo everything from scratch. I have photos before and after to prove how awful it was.

This added so much stress to an already hectic day, and honestly, we were beyond frustrated. I disputed the charge with my bank because there’s no way we’re paying for that kind of service. Just a heads-up—I’ll also be leaving a review so others don’t have to go through the same nightmare.

Absolutely unacceptable.

AND SAY that they were 15 min late!

Here’s your message with the lateness included:

Hey [Hairstylist's Name],

I just wanted to let you know how unbelievably disappointed we were with the updo you did for my mom on my wedding day. First off, you showed up 15 minutes late, which was already unprofessional and added unnecessary stress to an already busy morning. And then, the updo itself was a complete disaster—so bad that my mom had to wash her hair the moment she got back to the hotel and we had to redo everything from scratch. I have before-and-after photos to prove how awful it was.

This whole thing caused a huge headache on what was supposed to be a special day, and we were beyond frustrated. I disputed the charge with my bank because there’s no way we’re paying for this mess. Just so you know, I’ll also be leaving a review so others don’t have to deal with the same unprofessionalism and poor service.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Perfect Wedding Location!

La Venta will forever be part of our lives. We got
Married here in 2006, when the gazebo was still up. It was definitely my dream wedding and they did not disappoint. The staff was very professional and accommodating. The food was excellent - we had sea-bass and it melted in your mouth, that’s how good it was! Our guests talked about our wedding in yesterday to come and the view… wow! It was a very surreal experience and it was worth every penny!

We love working at La Venta. The staff are always on point and insure the event goes smoothly from beginning to the very end. Guests love the view and ability to roam around the property which you can't get in a normal venue. Highly recommended!

Jason Michaels Special Event Entertainment Jason Michaels Special Event Entertainment Wedding DJs

As a wedding professional (having had my wedding at La Venta) I was happy most especially with the staff’s (Tim Kennedy, Kathy, Lori, and even Chef Rick Campos) ability to team their knowledge allowing expeditious response to our ever-growing list of questions in the weeks & days prior to our date. I’d like to mention Tim’s endurance with several meetings offsite including our private tasting in El Segundo & challenging décor issues with Classic Rentals. Chef Campos kept his promise to oversee our event despite a re-assignment within the company. More-over, our Wedding Consultant Stephanie Lairson expressed a similar experience with the staff, their promptness, and attention to detail. When asked what aspect of the experience we appreciated the most, my wife & I concluded that La Venta was a ‘total experience’ since there was several aspects of our special day that were exclusive to the property, the catering, and the service. The result, of course, was a well managed, elegant, & intimate celebration that all our guests continue to talk about six years later. As we see it, the only drawback was having to end our party prematurely at 11pm (which I understand is a policy enforced due to noise issues within the residential community. We are very satisfied with the special memory we have…thank you! If my entertainment business can be of any assistance to you and your staff in providing professional & polished special event entertainers please do not hesitate in contacting my office…I owe you Louise!!
