Olivia G.

We had our perfect wedding at Fete the Venue on 11/11/23 and we loved this venue! When I started to look for venues I fell in love with them immediately, but kept looking because I felt it was too good to be true to find a venue this quickly. But as I continued my search, I came to realize that it is too good, and it is true! Sarah was great to work with and she was our main contact at Fete. There were times where I would have to re-email her to get a response, but I had to do this with other vendors as well. Even with a few delayed responses, she was kind and professional. The Venue also made it easy to switch payment methods when needed. She gave us a lot of good recommendations and was so easy going and accommodating with a lot of our requests. She definitely wanted to make sure we had a great time. We had 9 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen and I felt we were able to fit in the Bride and groom's Suite just fine. We did also have parents, and vendors floating around too and it still felt comfortable. But more than that, maybe not haha. When we did our initial walk through with Sarah we saw the groom's suite and it was not bad, but ever since they updated it, I could not wait to get my husband in there and see all of the photos from the day! It is so sleek and just gorgeous. Any groom and his party would think it was perfect for them. I'm glad both parties were able to get perfect spaces. A few things I would bring to any bride and groom's attention about Fete is that they have some restrictions and requirements such as no fog machines, dry ice machines, no sparklers, and no shots at the bar. And if you would like a signature drink at your wedding, you HAVE to get the top drink package or pay for each signature drink individually. They state this is because the signature drink will most likely be the most popular drink (Which it may be) and they will need to buy more of the ingredients to comply with the demand. I understand this, just wish I would have known this prior. However, we still had the open bar and our guests were happy with the drinks and beers that were available. Also all vendors must sign a one time vendor agreement, and provide proof of insurance. Our hair and make-up artist were freelance and did not have insurance, but Sarah provided me with a web page to get a day of insurance for about $100-$120. Our Hair and make up artist were accommodating and we were able to get that easily taken care of. So if you have your dream vendor picked out but they are not insured, that is a conversation you will need to have with them, and another task to do. But most vendors will have likely run into this before so it wasn't an issue as they know the drill. With that being said, I understand as a business why they do this. But as the consumer, it is information to know to see if this is your perfect venue. Another piece of information is that Fete has a list of exclusive caters that they offer you to use, but if you decide to go with an outside caterer, they charge a $2,500 buy out fee. We did go with one of their exclusive caterers (All Above Catering), and we were more than happy with them. This venue and the exclusive caterer did not charge a service fee, which I think is huge. Outside caterers were quoting us thousands, and sometimes charging more than what was offered with Fete. So with the service fee from other caterers, and the buy out fee, it just made more financial sense to go with an exclusive vendor. Another reason to go wit an exclusive vendor is because you know they will work well with the venue and you can have the piece of mind that both vendors will keep the other in check. I will say we did spend a pretty penny on our entire wedding, and of course, food, drinks, and venue were a big chunk of that, but I wouldn't change a thing. After our wedding we were surprised to find a card in the mail a few weeks after our wedding from Fete with a thank you and congratulatory message. We thought that was so sweet and a nice touch. The venue is beautiful and they seem to always be making new updates or normal upkeep to keep the venue looking prestigious. This venue is very versatile to host any theme wedding or event. With that being said, I would absolutely recommend Fete! Thank you for being a part of our special day!

This one of my favorite venues in Orange County. Fete, The Venue is perfect for any event. Corporate, weddings, or social. I love the vibe and how the place is interior designed. It is like a modern provincial French look. The wood chandeliers are one of my favorite elements. I had an event here and working with the Venue Sales Manager, Christina G. was great. Christina made it so easy. She was professional, knowledgeable, and has an amazing personality. It is hard to find a sales/events manager who is so good and has a background in all aspects of events. Seriously, loved working with her. The owner, Kristi R. was fabulous and you can tell the venue is her baby. It is beautiful and well done and executed. Kristi is so on top of it and personable as well. What a great team! Here are some bonus points about. They have bars already at there. Their lounge vignettes are charming and chic! The chair that goes with the venue is a fruitwood chiavari chair, which is great because it is not an ugly corporate looking or folding chair that you see at a community center's bingo night. If you are a bride, they have one of my favorite bridal suites. Even the restrooms are nice. They even have an in-house sound system and AV. Projectors and screens are available and so perfect for corporate events. What is great is they have their in-house catering company called Above All Catering. Their food is do good and they created a wood swing that matches the venue perfectly. An event can have their cheese and charcuterie display on their. I completely love this place and cannot wait to have another event here!

See all

Spent three nights here. The property is in great condition and my room was quiet and comfortable…read more The hotel is elegant without feeling formal. The grounds behind the hotel have a pond with ducks and turtles. There are LOTS of dogs being walked and as a dog lover, it was heaven for me. I also like having the ability to walk to so many great restaurants. I highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

Over the years, my experience at Avenue of the Arts continues to be consistently positive…read more As a wedding cinematographer and photographer serving Orange County and Los Angeles, I've worked at many properties -- and what stands out here is the reliability of the team and the overall guest experience. When arriving on a wedding day, knowing that valet, front desk, and event coordination are organized and communicative makes a meaningful difference in how smoothly the day unfolds. The property itself photographs beautifully in every season. The modern architecture, warm interior tones, and the lakeside setting create a variety of backdrops without ever needing to leave the hotel grounds. The lobby offers clean, contemporary lines, while the exterior lake area provides a softer, romantic setting -- especially during golden hour. Another benefit is its proximity to Celebrations by Turnip Rose, which makes transitions between hotel, ceremony, and reception seamless for couples and vendors alike. From a vendor perspective, professionalism and consistency matter -- and that has been my experience each time I've worked here. For context, my team and I have documented multiple weddings at this property through our studio, Prince Weddings (PrinceWeddings.net), and the coordination between hotel staff and creative teams has always contributed to a smooth event day. This review reflects my personal experience working at the property over multiple events and is intended to be helpful to couples and families researching venues in Costa Mesa and greater Orange County.

Our group started with their homemade rolls, octopus, ratatouille, and beet salad. All were delicious and we all agreed we would get again. I got the duck breast, as it was recommended by others who had it before. Unfortunately, the duck was tough and chewy, the skin was not crispy (as it was in the past) and over cooked. The figs were tasty, but the duck was disappointing to most of us. Someone had the Scottish salmon and said it was delicious. The steak was also good and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very kind, and brought us desserts since our duck was not up to par. The chocolate cake and rice pudding were both delicious and I highly recommend either if you crave something sweet. The service was excellent for our large group. I would definitely come back and like to try other items on the menu.
