The historic building Ebell Long Beach is nestled in the heart of the city, and it's probably one…read moreof the most breathtaking vintage venues in the area. It's known for its stunning architecture, rich history, and elegant ambiance, although parking could be challenging. You can book the venue alone, but they also have onsite catering service available. I like the style of the building and its decorations inside, the high ceilings and chandeliers are so beautiful and stylish. It's a fantastic venue by itself, which needs very minimum to make it better.

Our wedding was a perfectly executed dream come true that was orchestrated by The Modern, and its…read morewonderful team led by Abel and Mary. My wife and I discovered The Modern during a special event right before I proposed, and we knew that if we ever got married, this would be the place. Following our engagement, we had a tour of the place with Mary, and we were 1000% convinced with the place since Mary came with the package lol. The communication throughout the course of our planning was outstanding, and both Abel and Mary addressed all our inquiries and concerns without hesitation and with clear answers. While the conditions of the contract initially seemed rigid, all guidelines and expectations were stated clearly, and both Abel and Mary provided all the support necessary to ensure the vendors understood and executed per the contract accordingly. All terms of the pricing were transparent, and we found the costs to be worth every penny, as we were 1000% satisfied with the venue. Through the course of our two-year planning, Abel and Mary were available and offered the walkthroughs necessary for the vendors and us to plan accordingly and execute an impeccably perfect wedding. Mary did an outstanding job and exerted so much patience with both my Wife and I through the course of food and drink tasting. She assessed our preferences and perfected our specialty cocktails and food menu to reflect my wife, our guests, and I. We appreciated the opportunity to host our rehearsal brunch at their Kitchen and Bar located below the venue. Our guests enjoyed getting a small taste of the delicious food and drinks they'd be having the following day at the actual wedding. The day of the wedding could not have unfolded so perfectly, both aesthetically and logistically. Abel and Mary coordinated and collaborated in unison with our group of vendors, and they really outdid themselves by providing the foundation to our dream wedding, literally. They did an amazing and efficient job at flipping the venue space for the reception. All while our guests were enjoying themselves in the lavish lounge during cocktail hour. The venue itself is perfect. It is very modern, clean, spacious, classy, and their furniture and greenery were the perfect accessories necessary to complete our wedding day. And that's not all. The VIEWS are one of a kind as the venue has an entire wall space made up of windows that overlooks Long Beach Airport and an outdoor terrace that allowed us and our guests to enjoy the views. We literally had airplanes flying up and down during our entire wedding, with a grand exit of us flying off in a helicopter. My wife, our guests, and I cannot believe how perfect the entire day turned out. They will not stop raving about how perfect and beautiful everything turned out. From the food to the drinks and the wonderful bartenders, and of course to how magically, beautiful our wedding was. None of which would have been possible without the fantastic venue, Abel, Mary and their team. While we are saddened to turn the chapter from the wedding planning and wedding, we are so so so happy we chose The Modern. The Modern and team will forever be embedded in our hearts and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mary, Abel, team, and The Modern!

It was a pleasure working with Sara, Juliana, and the team throughout the process. We were so grateful to have so many of our vendors included with the venue so we could focus on the details that mattered most to us for the big day. We're so glad we held our wedding at the Sepulveda Home: it's full of character and charm and our guests haven't stopped raving about how wonderful our wedding looked.

Where do I even start with Sara and The Sepulveda Home. If I could dream up my perfect venue and…read morevenue coordinator/owner, it would be Sara and her home! The venue is a home in a residential area close to the San Pedro ports. We had our ceremony and reception there. TG we were able to pivot because we originally booked the Wayfarers Chapel that unfortunately is no longer. Sara made it work for us so that we did not have to completely change our plans. While there are small spaces within the outdoors, it didn't feel too disjointed. It allowed for more pockets of intimacy with your guests. The bar area is so lovely with so much character---well the whole home cas wow it's like you're stepping foot in a movie set. The greenery is kept up in such great condition and when the candle lights come on along with the outdoor fireplace at night, it is pure magic. This venue is not ordinary or cookie cutter. Everything is done up thoughtfully. It's for those that want something a little different but still has all the convenience and professionalism of a bigger venue. We went with food from Chef Dora ---also amazing, and so many styles of foods she makes!! The DJ and bartender was found by Sara as part of our package, and they did not disappoint either. My friends commented on how awesome our DJ was--one of the best they've ever had at a wedding. Sara is probably one of the biggest reasons I went with her venue. Not to say the place isn't pretty cas it is literally made of dreams, but Mama Sara is heaven-sent. She's hilarious first of all. But more importantly, she is who I want to support in this world. She's honest, down to earth, fun, incredibly driven and fierce, and loves her community. She not only makes sure your wedding plans are going well, but that your mental health is still ok too, cas she knows how wedding planning can get. Her communication will come in various forms, but she always checked in on me. And helped me figure things out when something isn't going how we wanted. She does go above and beyond to make sure the couple feels good, secure, is fed, and has fun!!! Even at the end of night til the bitter end helping to pack everything up and out!!! My family loves her. She made wedding planning fun. I already miss her. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for all of it Sara!!!!

I had my daughters Quinceanera here in May. I wanted to leave my review on my experience. Katie the…read moreowner is super nice, considerate of everything up until your contract is over. I had reached out to Katie the very next day after my event to let her know how my experience went and certain things that were concerning . She was definitely not as nice or concerned about my complaints. Very unexpected. My daughter, fiancé and I went upstairs to use there restroom and help my daughter adjust her dress. We found three cases of beer, in the second room with the door closed. They were not there earlier when we went upstairs. Keep in mind there were three young staff working that night. Once we found the beer my fiancé confronted the main guy and he said they had to move the beer upstairs because they were moping downstairs in the kitchen. If you've seen this hall you know they could have moved the beer to the side hall way right out the kitchen and before the stairs. It didn't make sense why they would move it all the way upstairs. Also that it was not in the first room but second room with the door closed. The other issue I had here was I had bought a small cake for pictures and a sheet cake that was in the fridge. I had asked the staff if they were going to cut and pass out the cake and they confirmed they would. Come to find out at the end of the night cleaning up, the cake was still in the fridge. They only cut the small cake and placed the plates of cake on the counter. Who ever saw it grabbed cake and who ever didn't, didnt get any. More than half the party did not receive cake, not even my daughter. I had asked the guy "did everyone get cake" he confirmed yes, the sheet cake was extra. So I had an untouched sheet cake and most my guests didn't get any. I felt I just received excused from the staff as well as Katie for that night. Also keep in mind the person they had for photoboth comes off with attitude with her tone of voice. Last thing that went wrong was the staff giving my own professional DJ a hard time when he got to the hall to set up. We had fun but the staff isn't that great and unprofessional. This is my experience. Consider it, before booking.
