I hired this vendor for my daughter's Sweet 16 to set up a backyard movie night. Communication was…read moregood and professional at first. I received an invoice and contract, and while the contract did state they could cancel due to weather, I was in constant communication with them all week about the rain. I sent pictures of where the setup would be, discussed the weather multiple times, and spoke with them the day before the event. They even confirmed the morning of the party at 9:26 that there would be no issues. The party was scheduled to start at 3:00 PM. At 11:20 AM that same day, I received a call from the owner's husband saying there was too much rain and they could not come out because it would compromise their equipment. This was extremely upsetting, especially since the rain forecast had been known all week and they continued to reassure and confirm up until that morning. When I expressed how upset I was and explained that this ruined my daughter's birthday plans, his response was, "Well actually, we didn't ruin it," which I found very unprofessional given the circumstances. I was so upset that I ended the call. I understand weather-related policies, but the lack of consistency, last-minute cancellation, and dismissive response made this a very disappointing experience, especially for a milestone event like a Sweet 16.

I'm very sorry to see that the only 2 reviews (prior to mine) had a bad experience!…read more We went this last Saturday night and saw Elf at the drive-in. It was WONDERFUL!!!! No glitches, no skips, wonderful movie quality and so much fun!! The event opens at 5:00 but the movie doesn't start until 7:30. We arrived at 5:30 to have dinner and get a good spot. There were quite a few people already there and since we were in a big full sized pick-up, we had to park over to the side a bit (or way in the back). I get it, and remembered that was how it was "back in the day" when we would go to the drive-in. We brought a big bluetooth speaker with AM/FM controller, so we were able to tune in and hear it in awesome volume as we sat bundled up in our Christmas blankets in the back of the truck. We brought in food, popcorn, movie candy and drinks, that way we wouldn't have to leave the security of the bed of our truck. It was SO MUCH FUN!! There were portable bathrooms with hand washing stations, concession stand with popcorn and lemonade, plus they kept all cars a good 6 feet apart and encouraged mask wearing when not in our vehicle. However, should you be concerned about others wearing a mask or not, bring your own food (plus it's cheaper) and stay snuggled in your car. That's what drive-ins are for anyway (wink wink) We did have to run to the restroom, but we didn't come in contact with anyone and people kept their distance. People were bringing in food from surrounding restaurants; BJs Brewery, Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, etc. We even saw a few people with portable heaters. Everyone seemed to have so much fun! Kids and adults were in pajamas and holiday attire. It was a great way to kick off our holiday season! We were slightly annoyed with the late-comer movie attenders. Who shows up at the drive-in 10-15 minutes before the show starts??? C'mon. The show didn't start until 7:45 because the presenters were kind enough to hold everyone up because these people weren't courteous enough to plan ahead. On the bright side, there were no movie previews, the movie just starts and you're good to go!! Please plan on being early or on time. I heard one of the attendants say that they will be back with another round of movies in January, we will DEFINITELY be back!!! So incredibly fun. $35/carload ($40 total with fees, etc). CHEERS!!!

The last time I'd been to a drive-in movie I was so young that I hardly remember the experience…read more When I heard about the "Starlite Drive-In Movie" events, I was very excited to experience an actual drive-in movie, & couldn't wait to finally enjoy a "mini-outing break from quarantine" from the safety & comfort of our vehicle. This is why I am sad to write this review with such a low rating... With "pop-up" events held in various locations in Orange County, CA (Brea, Irvine, & San Clemente), "Starlite" currently features family-friendly Halloween movies to watch on a big screen from the safety & comfort of your own vehicle. Although they're not currently showing recently released movies, I was excited to see one of my favorite dark romantic animated films "Corpse Bride," just in time for Halloween. It's a really cool concept to go & enjoy a drive-in movie --- especially for those who are unable to visit a traditional indoor theater due to the COVID-19 pandemic, & it was advertised that social distancing & face-coverings (if you are outside your vehicle) are "enforced" (non-compliance will result in you being asked to leave)...or so they advertised..... Although "Starlite" boldly advertised (& even emailed you reminders) that if you leave your vehicle for concessions, restroom trips, etc., you must remain physically distant & wear a face covering (or be asked to leave), our experience on October 25, 2020, proved that this was not the case. We visited the concession stand, but this was where we went wrong. As we were in line, a person was coughing with no face covering, (mouth WIDE OPEN towards us), unconcerned, & not even making an effort to shield their wide-mouthed coughing. Immediately leaving the line, & on the way back to our vehicle, we noticed several others walking around with no face coverings, & it became apparent that "Starlite's" advertised rule was obviously not being enforced. For personal reasons, we have been extremely diligent guarding our health during this pandemic (face coverings, extreme cleanliness, no travel, little-to-no outings, no indoor nor outdoor dining at restaurants, limited take-out, etc.). Aside from essential work, essential trips outside the home, & limited take-out & shopping, this drive-in movie event was only our second "outing" since March 2020. Had we known that the advertised rules imposed by "Starlite" would not be enforced, we would not have attended this event. It was disappointing & concerning, to say the least. Although it was a cool concept (in theory), & a clean, pretty well-organized & peaceful family-friendly event, I would not attend this event again. Regardless of one's viewpoints/opinions regarding face-coverings & social-distancing, it would be helpful if "Starlite" would be more forthcoming & transparent about the fact that their advertised rules are not enforced. That way, all attendees can make more informed decisions regarding whether or not to attend the event depending on an individual's own personal comfort levels. For those who are less risk averse, here is a bit more information regarding their events should you choose to attend: * Tickets available on-line in-advance * Concession stand available on-site with candy, popcorn, drinks * Restrooms (aka, "port-a-potty") available on-site * Movies vary by date & location Event: 4-stars Transparency/consistency regarding advertised "Guidelines": 1-star Average Overall: 2 1/2-stars

(Attended 07/08/17 SA @ 4:45pm): I enjoyed what I ate; I sang along to what I saw...and I…read moreharmonized to what I heard! On a hot Saturday evening, the outdoor cinema Eat See Hear descended upon Centennial Square in front of Pasadena City Hall. Dubbed "LA's premier outdoor movie, food truck, and live music event series", this summer-long traveling entertainment circus (since 2012) made its way across various iconic venues throughout Los Angeles with its unmistakeable 3 1/2-story tall inflatable high-definition screen deemed the "biggest of its kind on the West Coast". A self-contained event, you were allowed to bring your own chairs, food, etc.. Extremely pet-friendly with water bowls and treats placed throughout the venue, they tied themselves to the non-profit organization Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles and No Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) to help with pet adoption. Would this nostalgic return and revamped idea of the drive-in movie pull at my sentimental strings to return for more!?: General Admission Ticket/Seat ($14.00 + fees) - Purchased online (priced higher at the door the day of the event), this was open seating, so first come-first served. Armed with a low chair (ABSOLUTELY NO TALL CHAIRS), blanket, cushion, and pillow to sit on just in case, I happily claimed a spot center screen slightly away from the crowd on the concrete road https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Lxb9OOL4HaDWK3rIBs1Uaw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Tickets also gained access to food trucks and live pre-movie music performance. Below were other ticketing options (things brought were the same): 1. Fashionably Late Tickets ($21.00 + fees - online purchase only) offered a limited quantity of guaranteed open seating tickets in a reserved area at the front of the house that allowed you to arrive at any time (hopefully before the movie started!). 2. Kids 6-12 Tickets (approx. $8.00 + fees) offered the same as "General Admission" 3. Kids 5 & Under Tickets (FREE + fees) offered the same as "Kids 6-12 Tickets". 4. Groups of 10 or more had group rates available. Live Music - Lone Kodiak with its "campfire rock" offered an intimate hush to their music that initially reminded me Of Monsters And Men with occasional hints of aggressive jabs. I wasn't a fan of the pre-recorded and sampled parts which seemed to be the norm these days for many live performances, but I always appreciated live music regardless. Food Trucks - Listed were the assortment of food trucks present: Belly Bombz, Jogasaki Burrito, Postcards CAS (see separate review of my purchase), Pudding Truck, and Vchos Truck/Pupusas. All accepted credit cards. Vendors - From Air New Zealand, JackFM, Subaru, to Showtime (who gave away chairs!) were among some who supported and had giveaways. Service - The online purchase was a breeze. There could've been more pedestrian and street directional signage to the main entrance on Marengo Ave.. Marked signs once inside led you where to set up camp. Both audio and visual systems were surprisingly clean and clear. There were the customary long food truck lines akin to L.A. traffic without the bad drivers. I didn't happen to notice any ATM machines for those who needed cash. Generally-speaking, everything was fine and ran smoothly enough once. Parking (Varied - FREE this instance) - With the venue's proximity to the Memorial Park Gold Line Station, I went Metro from my hipsterhood ($3.50 roundtrip). Otherwise, there were plenty of metered and timed street parking around the area (valid until 6pm), and numerous parking structures. Another option would be to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - A large mostly concrete venue (closed sidewalks and streets) with small sections of grassy areas (a few trees shielded you from the sun) towards the outskirts, it was everyone for themselves as the gates opened and throngs of guests flooded in! To the left was the smoking area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=w8rU6nuy6NPkMbcsWlfxeQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and to the right were the food trucks and Porto-Potties. The stage was at the foot of the screen, but wished they had a camera that projected the performance onto the screen. Exposed to th elements, you heard random sounds from conversations, dogs barking, and vehicle traffic. No TVs but the aforementioned gigantic movie screen and live band. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Eat See Hear at Centennial Square in front of Pasadena City Hall was one of my favorite locations of theirs because of the easy access and beautiful backdrop. This concept was popular enough for others to imitate. The onsite staff were also very charming and helpful. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.00; no tip required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS
