They had worked with our venue (Solvang Theaterfest) in the past, so it was very easy to connect with them and get them to come to the venue and give their recommendations for lighting. Their recommendations were perfect and when I ended up needing to lessen the amount of lights to accommodate our budget, they helped us narrow it down and their advice and instruction was perfect. Joanna was a joy to work with - so easy to contact and connect with. They handled all of the installation and take down and connected with our venue manager on their own and it was all so smooth and easy. And I can't stress enough, the lights really just made the dance floor and evening reception perfect. It was like a fairytale and looked so wonderful. Hire Elite Events for all of your wedding rentals - especially their lighting - they are so great to work with and will elevate your event.

More often than not our clients will request to stay outside of Los Angeles, and many enjoy staying in Solvang or Santa Barbara. I was very cautious about contacting this company after reading one of the previous reviews posted here, but there are not many options in the Solvang area for this type of service and I had a client who had her heart set on Solvang. I am happy to say that my client had an amazing experience with this company. She brought her two boys with her, who were in the care of this company for two full days. After returning home she sent me an email thanking me for making sure her boys were so well taken care of. I rely on companies like yours to ensure my clients have the most comfortable, convenient and pleasant experiences during their stay, and I wanted to take a moment and thank you. Top notch service!

They show you exactly where your room is on a printed map that's labeled. There are parking spots right outside the room, so it's easier to carry bags instead of walking across the parking lot. The room itself was nice and with cold ac. Hot water in the shower and clean sheets. Bed was comfy, fell asleep right away. There is a open pool and fire pits surrounding the hotel. The lounge was our favorite part of the experience. Lots of tables and the bartenders were cool. Nice vibe after coming back from Solvang. We didn't have a problem at all during our stay. I'd come back to this hotel for sure when making a trip back!

But if you actually want some character, The Sideways Inn is exactly where you need to be. From the second we arrived, it was pure comfort and chill. Spending mornings sipping coffee out on the porch felt more like a relaxed getaway and less like a standard hotel stay. The Highlights: The Atmosphere: Delightfully non-corporate, unique, and full of charm. The Lounge: They pour fantastic drinks and the staff is absolutely stellar. Just a heads-up: the menu leans more toward excellent bar snacks and bite-sized eats rather than full-blown dinners, so plan your heavy meals accordingly! The Location: Tucked away in a nice, quiet spot, but still just a short, easy trip right into Solvang. Our three days here absolutely flew by. For a relaxed, interesting, and genuinely comfy place to crash in the area, I can't recommend this spot enough.they found out it was our short honeymoon getaw and had a bottle of wine in our room when we got back We'll definitely be back!

I was so full with all of the different options and the staff serving up the food were all really friendly.

The front desk staff at this Marriott hotel was fantastic, but the rooms were extremely dirty…read more Upon entering our room, we found two beer cans. One was inside, near the bed next to the balcony door, and the other was outside on the balcony, next to a small pile of cigarette butts. The sofa had a large dark stain with what looked like chocolate shavings. In the bathroom, fresh towels were placed on top of an exposed dirty pipe in one of the cubbies under the sink vanity. I'm curious to know why there are any exposed pipes in the first place. I'm sure having exposed pipes violates multiple city and health codes. One unique thing I noticed at this Marriott hotel was that the room had Febreze Car Clip Air Fresheners attached to the AC vents. I've never seen this at any other hotel. I'm not sure if this is standard practice at this hotel or if it was added to this particular room because the previous guest smoked in it. I emailed the hotel general manager, never received a reply or courtesy call. This is not what we expected from a reputable brand like Marriott.

When they found out it was my birthday, they treated me very nicely and that was greatly appreciated. The Tavern is also a pretty space for dining and that made it even better. My wife had the kale salad (she loved it) and we shared the fried cauliflower and mashed potatoes (also good) The one downside was that I had the pork chop as my main and it was way overdone. It was a bit tough to eat. Otherwise Mattei's would have been 5 stars for sure. The next morning we went back and visited the coffee bar. Drinks were excellent, we got the cheesy eggs/toast which was very good and they have a nice seating area.

Pork sausage paired with berries- not good, thin dry branzino swilling in over acidic tomatillo salsa with roti flat bread on the side that tastes like hockey pucks, over whipped mashed potatoes that taste like they have glue added to the mix. They definitely need a new head chef! However the ambience, appetizers and dessert were worthwhile for a pitstop.

The price was affordable and we had booked a few days prior. We were welcomed by the night time Innskeeper, Joan who warmly welcomed us. We were very touched by the warm hospitality and how helpful she was (shared her recommendations for food places and gave helpful tips and showed us a map of the area) She had us checked in less than 10 minutes and we were sent off to our room. The overall room was spacious, cozy, and clean. We had stayed on upper floor. The bed was cozy, there was cable, and the towels were fluffy. The tap water tasted good (they do a great job with the purification) and the shower pressure was perfect after a couple hours of straight driving. There are no elevators so please be mindful of that! They have complimentary coffee and danishes from a local danish bakery from solvang. There is orange and cranberry juice for those who dont want coffee or tea. This is from 7 am - 10 am. The area its self has golfing for kids, a heated swimming pool and the inn partners with multiple local shops and areas which offer you a discount if you show the little "passport card" they give you when you check in. Aside from that, housekeeping is splendid. Our first time experience went well and we are so excited to book again in the near future.

Their prices are less expensive than other rental companies, and if you decide to get hitched at the farmhouse you don't have to pay for additional delivery/set up/breakdown fees. It was great! I would highly recommend Barnwood Rentals! Thank you Ryan and your team!

I am going to let you in on a little secret…read more... Yeah, I'm going to share with you what i THINK is the best kind of getaway, well, at least in my humble opinion. It's the kind that doesn't abruptly end, but it just sort of.... keeps on going. Let me explain. Have you ever gone on vacation and said to yourself, or to your spouse or even to your kids.... "Gee, I could have really used one more night" Or Let out the exaggerated (Ughh)... "I don't want to go back to work tomorrow, I wish we could just extend our trip by just one more day" Well... On a recent trip with my family, We INTENTIONALLY did just that. My wife booked us a 2 night stay in Paso Robles at a beautiful boutique style/chain hotel. (The Ava Hotel in Paso) (Check out my review for the deets) Usually, when we do these short, weekend trips, I work up until the day of our trip and then go back the very next day once we return... But, NOT THIS TIME! Yeah, This time, my wife intentionally told me, let's book one more night on the way home from our trip in Paso just to break up the drive home and enjoy one more day off of work and time with the fam. Heck, I've got loads of PTO and who wants to be at work anyway, so it wasn't too hard to twist my arm on this one. And just like that.... Solvang, Here we Come! Yes, the cute, quaint town of Solvang is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway or even just for a one night stay like we did. Of course, my wife, the Queen of finding the best places to stay/eat... (AND I AM THE ONE WHO IS THE "ELITE" haha) booked us a room at the Landsby hotel and it was nothing short of a treat. Here's why: The Landsby is more than just a room... Inside of a hotel... Located in the heart of this Danish town known as: SOLVANG It wasn't just, "let's build a hotel where the people can stay and explore the town while they are here". At least that's not the impression it gave me! Instead, The Landsby has a Charm about, it has Character and most of all it gives you the impression that you are in a modern-day Dutch village. But one of my favorite parts.... The Room Key, keyword, "KEY" Yeah! The room key is an actual Key!!! A metal, lock and key, just like the good 'ol days! Ain't no digital, pre-programmed, modern day, technologically advanced system like every other hotel does it.... And I liked it! And to match the old school style key... The t.v is in black and white, the internet is run on dial up and the telephone is a rotary dial..... JUST KIDDING!!!! But wouldn't that be cool! Aside from the small town European vibe that the exterior of the building gives you, once you step inside both the hotel and then your room, you are immediately transported to a place that feels welcoming, familiar and most of all comfortable. Because this was a short stay (just a one nighter) we didn't take advantage of the amenities like we normally do, but next time we will. A lobby bar (our favorite place to check out), an onsite restaurant (Mad & Vin which loos really good), an outdoor courtyard to sit and relax, and complimentary cruiser bikes to explore the town. The Landsby is Pet friendly, so definitely check out their webpage for details for your furry friends. So....... Now that I've let you in on my little secret, I don't want you to keep it that way! Spread the word! Pass it along! Tell a friend! Come check out the Landsby in Solvang!!
