Just went to the crab feed last night. The food was very good as always. The only disappointment…read morewas the terrible DJ. Unfortunately, I do not have his/her name but I strongly recommend that they not be hired again. Their music selections were extremely limited. They claim to take requests but never played them. Based on their choice of music, there were only 2 to 3 couples that actually danced (except for the dozen dancers during the Electric Slide). We requested a song but when we did not hear it after an hour plus, we left, as did many others. We have been to this hall many times and have enjoyed the food and the music, but this time, only the food. I don't recommend this DJ at all. Maybe next year the hall will hire a better DJ who knows how to cater to a dancing crowd.

It's the kind of place where every corner looks like it belongs in a wedding album. . One of the unique perks for couples is the chance for the groom and his groomsmen to enjoy a morning round of golf before the festivities begin -- a tradition many wedding parties absolutely love. And depending on the day, you might even catch the sound of sports cars racing around the neighboring Laguna Seca track, adding a fun bit of local character to the atmosphere. . The weather is typically mild, but as with most coastal spots, the fog can roll in and bring cooler temperatures, especially later in the afternoon. It only adds to the romantic vibe, but it's worth keeping a light layer handy. . The bridal suite is truly impressive -- spacious, comfortable, and perfectly designed for a full hair-and-makeup setup. There's plenty of room for the bridal party to relax, get ready, and enjoy the morning without feeling crowded or rushed. . What really elevates this venue, though, is the staff. They create an incredibly professional and welcoming environment, handling every detail with ease and making the entire experience feel top-notch from start to finish. . A beautiful location, thoughtful amenities, and outstanding service -- this clubhouse is a standout choice for couples dreaming of a refined, scenic Monterey wedding.

Where do I start. I searched high and low for a indoor laser tag near by and I couldn't find…read moreanything. I'm so glad I didn't, I came across Battle field in Hollister, I called and spoke to Craig he was awesome he explained into detail how the out door laser tag was diffrent than in door laser tag. My son was sold we booked his 10th Birthday at battle field. We had a AMAZING experience, I've never played a video game in my life and Craig was so awesome he let the adults jump in and experience the fun, he gave my 4 year old daughter and my nieces their own mini gun so they didn't feel left out. Craig really cares about the kids and his guests. We are definitely booking a adult party soon. EVERYONE HAD A BLAST. THANK YOU CRAIG FOR MAKING MY SONS 10TH BIRTHDAY A UNFORGETTABLE BIRTHDAY.

We reserved a group party session from 9am-11am and my 2 boys & 9 of their friends had such a good time playing the outdoor laser tag for the 1st time. The battlefield is outdoor, big and well set-up with inflatable obstacle barriers to hide behind. The players wear a headband rather than a vest and this was a better option especially for smaller kids. The 2 adults that played had fun as well. Music is played continuously and the owner Craig occasionally announced the 2 teams scores as the games were being played. There was several picnic tables in a covered (but still outdoor) area where Craig had reserved 4 tables for us. That was more than enough. Both he and his wife were great to work with & made sure everyone had a good time. There are also local pizza places that will deliver to the location so we had Round Table deliver pizza for lunch. I can't say enough good things about the place & owners!!! My son's birthday party was epic because we had it there. Every kid, including the only girl, who was 10, that attended the party said they wanted their birthday parties there. We plan to have my other son's 7th birthday party there this month.

She was very responsive when I would ask questions or would let me know when payment was due or received. She told me when she would need to use the room and her team was punctual and on time, so that we were able to get into the room to finish our decorating before the wedding. When we entered, the room looked so elegant and our daughter was truly thrilled. I would highly recommend her services as she has such an array of decorations for so many different themes.

She is ABSOLUTE MAGIC!!!!! I live in los angeles so don't have the ability to know the vendors in Big Sur and she handled EVERYTHING!!!! Her recommendations were top notch and everyone gave us the wedding of our dreams! Truly we were all blown away and all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I will upload more photos as I get them! I don't have photos yet of the reception but it was everything!!! The food, the dj, the flowers, the drinks, the ceremony...all of it.

I had almost the exact same experience as Olivia below. Our wedding was 1 week before Olivia's and…read morewe had almost an identical experience. I hate to leave a negative review as I knew Diane was dealing with some personal stuff, however, this is not the person you want ghosting you for months leading up to the event or cutting ties with you a week before the event. Also, I heard from an assistant of hers who said she would be taking over (we never knew Diane had an assistant) however when we emailed this assistant back, they never responded. We tried reaching out to Diane several times and eventually took matters in our own hands and organized our day assuming Diane would be nowhere to be found. Then 1 week before our wedding when everything was set, she began emailing our vendors (photographer, flowers, videographer, officiant, hair and makeup) and communicating a completely different timeline and old information that was wrong!?! She had not read our emails we copied her on for months and caused so much unnecessary headaches the week before our wedding bc we had to go back to each vendor and explain that Diane's information was old and dated and to stick with the timeline we had communicated. This is. Not what you want to be doing last minute. In the end, we all agreed to part ways. Our wedding turned out exactly as we wanted minus the Loss of the $750 for Paion that she suggested and minus the headaches and drama leading up to the event. I can say that she gave us a list of vendors which we paid for, however we did hours of our own research to find hair and makeup & photographer and deserts. The only vendors we used from her were our catering company, Catering Monterey- phenomenal btw - officiant, Soaring Starkey- HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and Big Sur flowers, they were pretty good and made a gorgeous bouquet but had some issues delivering the flowers to us the morning of and left them at Glen oaks reception instead of the house which was frustrating bc we were on a timeline and the reception is not close to the house. The worst part about this experience is that not only did things get so contested and we agreed to part ways 1 week before the event, she also listened to my vision and then booked us for Paion Estates which after talking to my photographer, Lynn Lewis (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) we realized that my vision would not happen at Paion. So we lost our $750 deposit for that location in order to take the wedding photos on the Rocky cliffs (north of glenoaks) which is all I explained I wanted from the beginning and showed very detailed images of my vision. Lynn Lewis, our photographer ended up putting together the day of timeline and making all our dreams for our elopement come true. her services include vendor referrals and timeline management. I'd you're having a small wedding, skip the coordinator all together and just go with Lynn. Lynn was the photographer we found on our own. I'd be happy to talk to any future bride about my experience. Drop me a message and I'll email you. Diane was a nice person and in the beginning I thought this would be great, but as time passed it was clear she's had other things going on and was not 100% committed or at least she wasn't with Olivia and myself.
