Our server told us about the free monthly tours which included all three floors of the house and one was this Saturday, today. The tour was great and there was so much information on John Steinbeck and the history of the Salinas area. Our tour guide was John and he did a terrific job and had so many personal stories that he added into the conversation. Probably from over 12 years experience and knowledge of Steinbeck. Highly recommend and chicken mushroom crepe is hard to beat. Thank you and we can't wait to be back!

My husband and I had an amazing and beautiful wedding at Fairview Laguna Seca! It was literally the…read morebest day of our lives. I found this venue on Instagram and didn't see it in-person until I was engaged. When we were visiting venues, we fell in love with the event space, both the ceremony site (overlooking the golf course) and modern indoor reception area. We booked the venue one-year out. It was the first & only venue we looked at! We knew it was the location we wanted to be married at. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Fairview team!! They were very attentive to our details and made our plans & visions a reality. From all the vendors we worked with, everyone was professional and courteous. The baker made us a delicious and beautiful 3-tiered cake, each layer a different flavor. The florist followed my inspiration photos & the DJ read the room well, playing the perfect songs and introducing everyone with a great flow. I highly recommend having a day of coordinator. Well worth the money to have an stress-free (less stressful) day. My husband and I chose the Elite package because it was the best fit for our 150-guest list. Our guests enjoyed the venue, loved the bartenders and appreciated the kids' meals for their children. And the sparkler send off at the end was a fairytale experience! It was truly a joyous day. We are so thankful for the Fairview team and couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding day.

We loved him so much, he's literally like family now (on speed dial) and ready to plan our next event in October; our first baby shower! Thank you Oscar for your personable touch and exquisite demeanor.

I probably told him that a million times, "it's either OscarbyOscar or no one". He is that good !!!! All I had to do was give him my theme "Twilight" and not only did he deliver, but everything was impeccable !! The decor was breathtaking, phenomenal, something straight from a movie. Every single detail was perfect, it was timeless. If I can say one thing about him would be OUTSTANDING. He is a delightful person to work with incredible talent. A persons wedding is something that will be treasured and remembered for years to come, and having Oscar and his team create and deliver that for a couple is the ultimate gift. Investing in Oscar is the best thing any couple can do, he seriously outdid my expectations. There are a million and one wedding coordinators/event designers out there, but no one will give you that comfort and ease like OscarbyOscar. Oscar, we love you forever. Our hearts are filled with such amazing memories and we owe all of that to you. Love, Genesis and Adrian Silva

Julia greeted us like it was opening time -- calm, unhurried, fully present. The wines hit different. The sparkling had backbone, the reds carried weight without shouting, and the brandy--smooth but with a quiet burn that reminds you where you are. It's the kind of lineup that could sit comfortably on a Napa shelf, just without the attitude or the markup. There's an honesty to this place. You taste it in the glass and feel it in how they treat you. We left with bottles, a membership, and a few photos Julia snapped -- not posed, just moments. Odonata doesn't perform hospitality. It lives it.
