Loved this venue for the wedding!…read more Small-ish, intimate space, for a medium sized wedding (~135 at this wedding). The catering, which I believe was done by an in-house husband and wife couple, was better than expected. The herb chicken, which my cousin said came highly- recommended, was tasty and juicy. The tri-tip was also solid, and cooked to medium as it should be. The wedding coordinator Katie, who came included with the venue, was amazing! My cousin, the bride, kept saying how great Katie was, and how helpful she was during the process. My cousin frequently remarked, "we trust her so much", which is great. Also, as a first time wedding officiant, she really made it easy for me. Also, Morgan the DJ, another venue provided vendor, was great to work with. The venue is on the second floor, which can be a challenge or an absolute deal breaker for some. They do have a chair lift though, which several of our attendees used to get upstairs. Parking could be a challenge, as the venue is located in historic downtown Redlands. According to my cousin, parking at the CVS was allowed, but I'd double check with the venue. We had a Friday night wedding, and I heard no complaints about parking. Thank you to the cast and crew at Speakeasy on State.

My Fiancé and I really wanted to do our wedding reception locally here at the Fox Theatre.. We have…read morelived in Redlands for 15 years.. and have heard and been to previous events and weddings.. But Not now! Don"t trust this place to give you a fair or accurate quote or experience for a wedding reception or a clear enough picture of a great experience or outcome. New ownership is very unprofessional and un prepared. We asked for a tour and instead of letting us know they were remodeling prior to our visit and upgrading to unknowns they still walked us around with no clear picture of what was really changing and or happening. When we walked in they didn't know why we were originally there but yet we had an appointment. We were also very disappointed in the quote which was originally hand written with no clear picture or vendor choices and a horrible menu choice for food options, one page pamphlet, etc. We asked for all inclusive in our first visit, which in first quote we thought was written out, but in our second visit they said it wasn't and had to ask for another quote to be emailed. In the 2nd quote it was also an unprofessional layout and not prepared with very little detail and lots of unknowns and no specifics on vendors for fresh flowers or other vendor options as we requested etc.. leaving us very upset, as we will now be looking outside of are area. The highlight we were shown in the 2nd visit was a new lighting feature with flying dolphins which we don't care for in our wedding reception. Very laughable to be honest and unprofessional. Don't bother getting accurate figures and a promising outcome for a wedding here. We would never spend our hard earned money on a hand written quote nor an half ass written email with no specifics Grading new ownership and remodel an F, professionalism and preparation F, Overall experience an F...

Thank you, Eddie and Richard!

We had our wedding at the Barton House and had a great time! We liked that they have bride and…read moregroom suites inside to get ready. It made everything convenient! The lawn with the string lights is such a great vibe. We especially loved that they're open to outside vendors! So many places require you use their specific caterer, but we preferred to pick our own. We were able to have our favorite pizza pop-up caterer and churro truck! The venue was also reasonably priced compared to others in the so called area. The only thing is it's outdoors only, so if you're concerned about weather you may need to get a tent. But they have preferred vendors they can share for that.

I was unfortunately very disappointed with our experience at this venue. While the space itself is…read moreabsolutely beautiful, the staff made us feel unwelcome from the start. We fully understood that we were responsible for cleaning up at the end of the night and were prepared for that. However, we did not expect to feel watched and pressured while doing so. It was uncomfortable to be closely monitored and repeatedly reminded about how trash bags needed to be tied and boxes broken down before being thrown away. During the ceremony, our flower girl dropped natural rose petals down the aisle -- something many brides choose to include. We were surprised to learn at the end of the night that we were expected to pick up every petal ourselves, outside in the cold and damp grass. Additionally, be aware that if you go even one minute past 11:00 p.m., you will be charged $100 per hour for every hour you exceed the time limit. As beautiful as the venue is, the professionalism and attitude of the staff can truly make or break such an important night. Unfortunately, in our case, it detracted from what should have been a joyful and memorable celebration.

I dealt with Miriam the whole year going through everything choosing decor,food, the week of gabby helped with all the questions that came with the stress of the last week! When we went in on Friday everything was set up and everything looked beautiful! Gabby went over the schedule and anything I would need help on to relay to daisy who would be my coordinator the day of! And let me tell you daisy did not disappoint! She was amazing from setting up my self serve nacho and tostiloco bar, to keeping it organized and clean, to keeping the servers on track with the night, helping to remind me what was next, and organizing the stuff in the kitchen for me to just grab and go once the night was over! To all the girls thank you for the amazing service you all have provided to make my experience amazing!

This place is beautiful HOWEVER, they are unprofessional, disorganized, lack in communication,…read moreirresponsible (take no responsibility for their major errors). I HIGHLY suggest you not book here! Over 10 years ago I had booked what was my wedding ceremony and reception . We had a large guest list but the gentlemen we worked with assured us they'd be able to accommodate our exceptionally large group. We did the tours, had a few walk throughs, signed the contract, put our deposit then when I was going to make my final payment (in person) the gentlemen that was helping us was not there but instead it was a very young rude girl. She denied that we ever booked a reception and that she only had us down for a ceremony. I freaked out being our wedding was only months away. The young lady must have been related to the owner bc it showed in her nonchalant attitude. She kept denying that our contract had a ceremony and reception and that they could do nothing about it bc they have a reception booked on that date and that their must have just been"miscommunication". I explained how we were already working with a gentleman there who even walked us through the venue and showed us how they would set up the reception to accommodate our guest and how we had been in conversation with him and had a contract. We were really shocked and taken back by her denying what we experienced. The best this young lady could do was offer us a refund. What horrible service what terrible lack of integrity on their part, to lie and deny is troubling. Weeks before our wedding they dropped the ball and double booked on our already reserved date and they couldn't be professional about it and admit their error. Then they had the audacity to ask for a letter saying that WE breached the contract. What?! That was ridiculous but after that experience, we didn't even want our wedding ceremony there seeing their poor communication skills, lack of professionalism, lack of integrity and lack of concern just showed us how they would've been on our wedding day. If they couldn't be honest during the process then for sure we wouldn't be able to trust them on our wedding day. The reason I'm posting this over 10 years later is because now (years later) I am just now receiving an email response from them saying that my review on the knot.com is on hold until I can prove payment and contract. I'm baffled at this email, how unprofessional is that? Where have you been the last 10+ years, why respond now? Why are you asking me to provide records and proof when you have them yourself? That's silly that a business can withhold a review because they don't like what it says (the truth about their service) and why all these years later. Why are they just now reviewing reviews of their business? That email proves that they' are still unprofessional and still disorganized and still lack integrity. I'd still never recommend this place to anyone. It was pricey then so I'm sure it's more expensive now. Not worth it. Besides we've learned it's better to invest in an extravagant honeymoon and a starter home for your marriage rather than a one day event that cost a fortune that majority of your guest won't even remember the details and money that you put into it. But that honeymoon, and that investment in your marriage both you and your spouse will remember for a life time. DITCH THIS VENUE there are plenty other cool little hip places you can find at the fraction of the price that are much more creative. Try the hidden oaks wedding venue, super affordable outdoors, historic and hip, great location, excellent service. Peer space app is also a great place to look where you can rent extravagant homes for the day without the "wedding" price tag.

THANK YOU BONNIE & TEAM FOR THE BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!! I will start this review off by saying…read morethat I photograph weddings, so having a gorgeous scenic spot to marry my boyfriend/fiancé of 11 years was the #1 on our list and The Pond (+ the overcast weather haha) DELIVERED. And the #2 thing on the list was having a variety of backdrops to photograph against which we also found here no question. We first toured The Pond and met with Bonnie (the owner) back in September 2022. We had already toured 5 other venues and this ended up being our second to last tour and last day of touring. The second I stepped on the premise I knew we had found our place. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and well taken care of. The pond is also full of bright koi fish and other cute little friends like ducks walk around. I felt like we were already late in booking a 2023 date, but to our luck they had May 5, 2023 open which was also 11th anniversary! Easy and done. This hidden gem venue has charm and is the most unique and scenic venue I've ever been to. The main selling points for us in addition to the views were: 1. Full Bridal and Groom houses to relax and get ready in. We each had 8 bridesmaids and groomsmen + our family so it was very important to us that we could find a place that could accommodate our large party to get ready in. They also have separate parking for the wedding party right next to the Bridal/Groom houses and another larger parking lot for guests which is also free for them 2. Fun and unique areas for all of our guests to spread out and explore. Including the gazebo overlooking the pond, fire pit (for s'mores), and cove underneath the gazebo to experience a waterfall. There was also a ton of space for all our vendors to set up including a Boba Table and Photobooth 3. Affordable price that included 1 hour rehearsal the day before, 10 hours on the premise for the wedding, and our package also included the DJ and Bartender team. This was great because those vendors are already used to working with Bonnie's team and DJ Richie killed our lighting throughout the venue as well! They also set up heat lamps for us when it got colder at night 4. DIY everything! I have been looking forward to planning my wedding my whole life and had a lot of decoration and vendor ideas. Bonnie and our Coordinator team (YourDayYourWay) helped make all our ideas and plans come to life and were gracious about accommodating everything we asked for including keeping the sails down in the ceremony space for our photos, letting us do special cups for boba, and letting us choose our catering (5 Elementos Food Truck). The whole event was 100% customized by us and this was so cool since I know a lot of venues have strict rules they never bend. And for anyone who may be deterred reading this because they don't want to DIY everything, I promise the venue still looks great just as it is even without all the extra stuff. Seriously! 5. They allow sparkler exits! Not many venues in CA allow this and I was stoked they had the perfect spot for it If you happen to stumble upon my review and are wondering if you should book The Pond for your next event/wedding, just do it! :D

She is so accommodating, friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was something special. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous.

The setting is perfect, with beautiful hills in the background and the most incredible "stairway to nowhere" that creates breathtaking sunset views and photos. The ceremony and dance area, as well as the dinner space, are perfectly laid out and flow beautifully. And if you're looking for the perfect DIY venue that allows you to truly bring your vision to life, this is it. This venue is truly magical, and I can't say enough good things about it. I am so incredibly thankful we found the perfect place to celebrate our special day.

This is the first venue I looked at and we booked instantly. No regrets. The venue itself was amazing! It was spacious and offered us enough room to have 2 types of photo booths, dessert table, sweetheart table, gift table, along with all the food setup and guest tables. There is a built in bar & dance floor as well. They're both so nice! I will provide as much pictures as I can so you can see how beautiful it is. I 100% recommend this venue!! I would LOVE to book here again for other special events. Also I have a tip: invest in a GOOD experienced photographer. There are beautiful areas to take pictures both inside and outside so make sure you take advantage and don't pass them up. My photographer was a lady named Marlyn and she had creative ideas!
