Have sent several emails and no response it's been 2 weeks very unprofessional ! They have an email saying they will respond in 24-48 hours why send that email if you're not going to respond within that time Frame. I have also called and been sent right to voicemail. Idk how they run a Business like that if I could give this place 0 stars I would. read more

our wedding was beautiful, howeverr, we were charged $130 extra for an "additional security" because we had a few people over 100 guests, but during the event there was no extra security only the one that is there at every event. we asked him where the second security was since we were being charged another security for the guest count and he confirmed that it was only him and when i spoke to someone they said another one was there but none of our guests, us , or the security saw anyone else i asked if they had any way of showing me someone else was actually there and they said a manager would contact me and i was left on seen and never heard back read more

Don't waste your time. Incredibly unprofessional. Takes several days to receive a response back via email. Finally made an appointment to view the venue and no one showed up. Called. Texted. Emailed. No response! Appt was at 12 noon on a Sunday... right in the middle of the day on a weekend day. Woke my sleeping baby up from a nap to be there on time. Such a waste! No regard for peoples time. Not sure how they run a business this way. Venue isn't that great (from the outside) either. Right on the freeway with lots of freeway noise. Annoying, in my opinion. read more

My daughters sweet 16 was epic!!!! Nani and Nani's Events came highly recommended from multiple friends. When I contacted her, she immediately booked an appointment to come in to meet her and to look at her venue. Hidden Gem is truly a hidden gem. At first site, you might think it won't accommodate an extremely large party....WRONG!! The space was perfect for our party and our party needs. There is an oversized outdoor patio, a large indoor hall and a separate kitchen. Pssst, there's even a private bridal suite. All of our needs were met during the planning process. Admittedly, there were times that I blew up Nani's phone because I'm a control freak. She always remained so professional, reassuring and supportive. She listened to ALL of our desires and boy did she get to know my diva child. By the time of the party, Nani pulled out every bell and whistle to make my daughters story book day. It was breathtaking. Her family/employees assist in helping set up and smooth running of the event. I felt like they were family of ours. Not to mention, Nani kept me on schedule the whole time. I would recommend that you give her full creative direction for your event because you will never be able to think of the intricate details that run through her mind. I'm already mentally planning my next event...and I don't know what it is :) Thank you so much for all you did for our family! read more

The location is good and the space is perfect for an intimate gathering or party. Had my daughters XV and the space worked well for us. I did get frustrated at times prior to the event with my coordinator not responding or not coming on time. But at the end it worked out. I May have been too much for them Because I like things done on time and I don't like my guest picking up after themselves. Not wowed by the staff that night they seemed too laid back. Our party was chilled and small. The cold sparklers were a total fail I was disappointed about. They refunded some of the money but it should have been fully refunded. Reason for Only portion of the refund was because they had to pay their helper for something that didn't even function properly and didn't get the full Use of. But I have to say I am wowed by Nani's setup and the end product look beautiful! Kudos for the decore you did amazing! But you had me stressed prior to the event. We did have some hiccups along the way. Not sure if it was my fault I guess I should have done a check list. Deposit refund no idea why some was not returned it wasn't much but it would be nice to put an explanation of why. But I do love the space for a future event that's more casual for sure. All though they are so bad at communicating or returning calls. I recently tried to book for a future date and no luck. Lol they know it's me and here I'm holding back on some of the negative points I don't feel the need to mention because it's not that important. If you have kids it's perfect to have the outdoor patio. We had a blast it Perfect for us Even with the mishaps. read more

Does not respond to email inquiries. I ended up having to send multiple emails and still have nothing set up for the date of my event.

We recently held my Tatas celebration of life here and it fit our need perfectly . From the first call the owner was so helpful and understanding. It was a last minute decision and she made it seamless and stress free . Don't let the outside appearance detour you . The hall is clean and new inside with a wonderful outdoor space . There is a nice kitchen. Table were included in our event . We also had two waiters that took care of the food clean up and were wonderful and attentive to our needs . I would definitely recommend this place . read more

Nani was by far the best person I could have ever hired to help me throw our baby shower. She worked tirelessly on every detail, every vendor, and every change I wanted to make. I never spoke to anybody but her. From desserts to the bartender, I never had to "check-in" or make sure everything was together. She kept us informed, and made sure everything was cost-effective throughout the process. Nani even went above and beyond with the cherry blossom trees. No one in San Diego county had them but the moment I said I wanted them in the initial consultation she very quickly ordered them and is now the only Coordinator in San Diego that can offer them if you wanted them at your event. Nani had it all. The venue, the tables, the chairs. She worked on EVERYTHING and removed all the stress for my wife and I. She pays attention to detail and picks up on who you are and what you like, almost immediately. There was never a question when it came to designing, picking colors, certain decor that she didn't know the answer to. She's extremely accessible, professional, and has a portal where you can see the layout and venue, inspiration pictures, and so much more that you get access to once you book with her. I highly recommend her for any event you may have coming up. Whether you're stressed about planning or you just need that extra support and resource to obtain something you only thought was a dream. Thank you Nani, first event down. With many many more to come. read more
