My husband and I just celebrated our wedding here September 6,2025 and there are no words for how magical this place is. We had 75 guests celebrate with us on the Fountain Patio and Amanda with her team (Mariya, Krystal, and Karla) made the day stress free and unforgettable. The venue is accommodating, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful. We had the pleasure of getting ready and staying the evening at The Amethyst Inn next door and I highly recommend for weddings or even just staying the night! Amanda, Mariya, Krystal, and Karla were always checking in and really did give us a worry-free evening as well as the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen (although I may be a little biased). We even had the pleasure of enjoying brunch the next day!

Hosted my best friend’s surprise bridal dinner here and it turned out beautiful. The team was flexible, easy to communicate with, and very helpful throughout planning. The restaurant itself already feels decorated, so we barely needed extra decor. Food, drinks, ambiance, service — everything came together perfectly. We’ll definitely be back for future celebrations.

HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT ARNOLDIS! This was the best night of our life. The venue was decked out to perfection with flowers, sun umbrellas, string lights—it was the most beautiful backyard summer garden vibe. The food was great (especially for a large wedding party), and most importantly the waitstaff and crew were incredible and kind. It was so lovely working with Sara and Casey throughout the whole planning process (they were so patient with our endless questions), and the lead floor manager Guillermo the night-of. Everyone—the bartenders, the waiters, the valet boyz, the managers, the owner—were so available and warm, and really made us feel special. Weddings are so stressful to plan and the staff really made it feel like a breeze. I can't overstate how smooth everything was the night-of, and how lucky we felt to have found this place. Just old-school Italian vibes in a beautiful neighborhood. It's such a gem!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Coco Palm. The view, the architecture, and the layout of the building all provided an elegant, unique backdrop for our theme. In fact, it wasn't until I toured the property that I was inspired to create our dreamy aesthetic. We loved working with the staff at Coco Palm because they KNOW weddings, it's what they do so they already pretty much know what people are going to ask, what they are going to want. The service of the waitstaff at our wedding was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could ask for and treated us like royalty. All of our guests had great feedback about the service as well. Last but not least, the food is obviously delicious and something special for a wedding. It was a priority for us to have a great dinner for our guests and Coco Palm was perfect. The packages they offer for events are a really great value compared to every other venue we looked at. So much is included, and it helped alleviate some of our planning stress. Can't wait to go back and celebrate more events here!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue than The Terrace Room for our wedding day. From the moment we stepped into the space, we were captivated by its classic elegance, sweeping views of Lake Merritt, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel instantly at ease. The historic charm of the art deco architecture paired beautifully with the modern amenities it truly felt timeless and sophisticated. The natural light streaming in through the large windows added a magical touch to our reception, and our guests are still raving about how stunning everything looked! The food was absolutely delicious far beyond typical "wedding food" expectations and the service was top-notch. Every guest felt taken care of, which meant the world to us. If you're looking for a venue that's not only visually breathtaking but also run by a professional and passionate team, look no further than The Terrace Room. It was the perfect place to begin our married life, and we’ll treasure the memories forever.

Five Crowns was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning the coordination with Carly was very smooth as she was very responsive and very helpful. Our wedding was truly perfect from the delicious food to the customer service of the staff. Their cocktails were also really good. Our guests were all very happy and they have been talking about our wedding. Carly also has recommended wonderful vendors from the DJ, the florist, and the photographer. My wife and I highly recommend this venue. Our family would like to go to Five Crowns again to eat the prime rib.

From the moment we met Natalie and her team and walked into the Ocean View room, we knew this was THE spqce where we wanted our wedding to happen. And through the months of continuous indecisiveness, Natalie and her team were so abundantly supportive and helpful in making the important decisions regarding our wedding. The planning process became doable because Natalie and Tina were always willing to go the extra mile, no matter how simple the request. Besides the amazing team, it is truly wonderful to be given an option that was not a classical wedding menu, but really fit the Hawaiian 🌺 and seaside 🌊 vibe of the location. We were able to try many different menu items and make slight adjustments with our $150 credit before the wedding. Natalie and her team made sure that allergies were well noted and that special plates were being accommodated for our guests. Our guests raved about the food! The staff during our wedding was competent, quick, and efficient. They accommodated our needs in storing our wedding cake the night before the wedding and allowed space in their schedule for our baking fairies to put on the final touches before our ceremony. We were able to add our own desserts for a dessert fee per person, and the kids loved the ice cream Hula pie that was provided by Duke’s! We fell a bit behind in our schedule on our wedding day, so the only thing that could have been better was if we had actually had the chance to enjoy more of the wonderful and delicious food that we chose. Find a good photographer and get ready for a picture-perfect wedding! Thank you so much, Natalie and Tina for your continuous support and dedication in making our day so special! We can’t wait to return for another seaside meal at Duke’s and to relive some moments of our special day. 🩵 Laura & Oscar

We are SO happy we got married at Bali Hai and our guests absolutely loved the venue. The staff, the food, the view, the drinks, everything was perfect. We were impressed early on with the planning process and coordinators. They made the whole year leading up to our wedding stress free and so fun. But our actual wedding day was beyond our wildest dreams and the staff made sure everything was perfect. We cannot thank Bali Hai enough for giving us the best wedding experience and wish we could do it all again.

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.

The Firehouse was the final venue we toured, and we pretty much instantly fell in love. We knew from our first meeting with Brittnie that we were in great hands, and her entire team did a beautiful job for our guests from start to finish. They were extremely accommodating with dietary restrictions, children’s meals, and more. The food and overall level of service was just as exceptional as the space! We ended up with about 120 guests, which we felt was optimal for the courtyard. I would also note that Brittnie made a fantastic recommendation for a coordinator, Events by Courtney Ann. Brittnie and Courtney worked together beautifully and did not miss a single detail. We’re already looking forward to coming back to The Firehouse for anniversaries in the future!
