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!

The venue is able to work with all of your requests (of course within their policies) and I couldn't have asked for more. Our event was beautiful! I highly HIGHLY recommend this venue for your party needs. The place can be transformed for any type of party from a kids party to a wedding! I truly have no bad thing to say. It's close to the freeway, there's plenty of parking. There's a Ralph's across the street if you forgot to get something last minute. Thank you for everything Adventure Onn!

I recently visited Los Cerritos Rancho and had such a meaningful experience. From the moment I…read morearrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who took the time to share the rich history of the landmark, including stories about the Bixby family. Walking through the home and gardens truly felt like stepping back in time. There's something incredibly special about being able to see and feel how people lived in the past--it creates a deep sense of connection and nostalgia that's hard to put into words. For me, the visit was also a moment of reflection--appreciating the lives and efforts of those who came before us, and how their contributions shaped the world we live in today. In such a fast-paced, modern era, it felt especially powerful to immerse myself in a place that preserves history so beautifully. I even remembered visiting here as a child, and coming back as an adult gave me a whole new appreciation for it. It's more than just a historical site--it's an experience that invites you to reflect, learn, and reconnect. I highly recommend visiting. It's a beautiful reminder that Long Beach is full of incredible history and hidden gems worth exploring.

I felt comfortable and at ease indoors, and the outdoor section seemed very comfortable as well. I went with a rather large party, and at least half of us seemed displeased with our dishes. The portions were generally on the smaller side, inconsistent, and lacking in flavor. That's not to say it's all bad though, the prosciutto melon appetizer was savory, and the lasagna and the mushroom ravioli were satisfying! I did order a tiramisu ladyfinger cake which I was a fan of as well. The service could have used some improvement. I don't believe we were offered refills or asked whether anything was needed after we initially received our orders, and it did not seem particularly busy to the point where the waitstaff would be incapable of dropping by. All things considered, La Traviata was enjoyable in some aspects but it was not much to write home about.

On the personal side, I organized my daughter's sports banquet there. Everyone loved the food. It was a barbecue menu, and folks commented on how much they enjoyed it. They provided outstanding food and service at a price within our budget. They made the whole day easy and memorable for the team and families.

I noticed right away that there were a lot of teenagers spending time around the space, and it made perfect sense because the atmosphere has that lively and upbeat energy that teenagers really connect with. The lighting, the open layout, and the way the rooms are arranged all make it easy to move around, talk, and enjoy yourself without feeling crowded or rushed. What really stood out to me was how comfortable it was to simply exist in the space. Nothing felt strict or stiff, and it gave everyone, especially the teenagers I saw, the freedom to be creative, take pictures, and enjoy the moment in their own way. Even though it was my first time visiting The Grand Event, I did not realize how much there was to appreciate until I walked through and saw how thoughtfully everything was put together. I loved how natural it felt to have fun there, and I never doubted that the experience would turn out exactly the way I hoped it would. It honestly reminded me of the same playful excitement I felt at places like Funko Hollywood, where the environment itself makes you feel younger and more energized. I have lived for 24 years, but with the youthful mindset I discovered in the summer of 2024, still physically and mentally 18 with a prefrontal cortex that is more developed than the average 25 year old, I felt completely in sync with the vibe of this place. The Grand Event is one of the most enjoyable and inviting venues I have been to in a long time, and I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a place to have fun, feel confident, take pictures, and enjoy an atmosphere that truly supports their creativity.
