Excellent Experience at Terra Laguna

We recently had our wedding reception at Terra Laguna, and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.

Venue Coordinator, Devon:
Very helpful in preparing the event and making sure it ran smoothly. Professional and attentive.

Food:
The food was excellent. Diverse menu and high-quality ingredients. Many guests complimented the meals. We did the plated dinner option and were very pleased with how it turned out both in presentation and taste.

Space Utilization:
We had our ceremony at a different location, so we used the standard ceremony area for a cocktail hour. It was a great use of space and added a unique touch to the event. The main reception area was gorgeous with the bistro lighting and unique architecture of the permanent patio cover. We had about 150 people didn’t feel cramped.

Overall Experience:
The venue was beautiful and well-organized. Many guests told us it was one of the best weddings they've attended.

As we transitioned into nighttime, the venue seemed to grow even more beautiful. If you're looking for a venue that combines great service, good food, and a beautiful setting, Terra Laguna is a solid choice. Truly an experience we will never forget for all the right reasons.

Absolutely blown away. DREAM VENUE.

I can't even BEGIN to say how wonderful of an experience we had with Terra Laguna (formerly known as Tivoli Terrace). We got lucky enough to be the first wedding they hosted with the new ownership and renovations. This place is just naturally beautiful and I wanted to play off of the lush beauty that it had. You can't beat the location, the staff is absolutely amazing and accommodating (shout out to Dulce, Katie, Jessica and Mike for everything you did to make our day the most perfect day ever) and HOLY MOLY the food was probably the most complimented part of our wedding. There is absolutely not one thing I would have changed or anything I could have wished for more. If you ask them, they'll do it for you (perks of an all inclusive venue). Thank you again, Terra. You'd be a fool to not get married here.

Tivoli Terrace was amazing. Camille was nothing but helpful, energetic, and accommodating. She would not only just say yes to what we picked but had suggestions that made the venue seem better than we imagined. Her help along with Roberts made us feel at ease that everything would go according to plan. We also went in blind not seeing this venue in person until the rehearsal dinner. With saying that, it was more than we could hope for once it came to fruition. I cannot help feel as though Tivoli Terrace wasn't made for our wedding alone. The staff went the extra mile to make sure it was wonderful. If we were to doing it again, there is no doubt that we would have our wedding there again!

Team Tivoli made all of our wedding dreams come true. Virgil and his team of exceptional Coordinators made the planning process very smooth for us, and our rehearsal dinner (Tivoli, Too) & wedding day (Tivoli Terrace) were just perfect. They exceeded our expectations and were fun to work with, each step of the way. Family and friends even commented on how attentive they were to all of us - not in an overbearing way, but truly professionals working behind the scenes to make the experience wonderful for all of us. Meals at both locations were also delicious. We didn't have any issues with the food or beverages whatsoever. The quality was excellent. And each of their preferred vendors that we hired were also a pleasure to work with. They have a fantastic network of local relationships who know the venue very well and really make it shine for the celebration. My only wish is to do it all over again! We highly recommend this venue and have no complaints. It's truly a gem.

Book it! Amazing. The service was 5 star, food was excellent and the attention to detail was great. Virgillio and Marcie were my personal assistants and made this experience perfect. Can not say enough about this place. We are already planning our anniversary party here.

Tivoli Terrace is seriously magical. It is in Laguna Beach, but it's more of a garden wedding. The coordinators are great - they are very responsive and helpful. They made our day stress-free and fun. They completely took care of everything so we could really enjoy our day. They know their stuff and think of all the details. On our wedding day, they made sure we were doing good and that we had a good time - which we did! It was the perfect day and the perfect place.

After looking at several venues, Tivoli Terrace was a heads up above the rest! All three of their locations are gorgeous, but the one next to the Festival of Arts was our favorate. The consultants we met with were very friendly and informative. Our details meeting and Rehersal was a lot of fun and went great without any issues. We loved that we got 2 coordinators the day of the wedding, which made the event run very smooth. We have no complaints about our experience and are very thankful for their service. Our special day was truely that thanks to the Tivoli staff!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

There is nothing but fantastic praise for the Tivoli Group. Being in the wedding industry for over a decade has allowed us to work at nearly every venue in Orange County, the greater Los Angeles area and the surrounding areas and we can truthfully say with 110% conviction that the Tivoli Group has the best staff of ANY venue we have ever worked with. Every wedding we get to share always goes off without a hitch and everyone is so helpful, the food is great but above al the service and staff are second to none. Everyone always treats you with a smile and they are on top of their game. They are such romantic places already and their staff helps elevate the experience to make every couples night a truly memorable and unforgettable experience.

I love photographing wedding events at the Tivoli Terrace. The place is art in itself. It is wonderfully decorated, warm and cozy looking and feeling (even when it is cold outdoors otherwise), the people are wonderful, food is delicious and the weddings there are always happy and full of fun party and dance. I take my best wedding photos at the Tivoli Terrace because it is such a photogenic place. I highly recommend to any bride to consider getting married at the Tivoli Terrace!
