He took the time to keep me company while I sat there which not a lot of staff would do, especially with so many other things they could be tending to. I ordered the bar pretzels which were fantastic, tender warm bread and the cheese sauce was great. A little bit of a kick from the green chili. Upstairs the game show event was fantastic! So much fun. Staff did a great job of coordinating this so that everyone would feel included. Dinner came out a little too late but everyone enjoyed their entrees. The chicken platter looked especially good with the side it came with. I appreciated that we had the option of ordering off the menu. Tickets were a little pricey for something to return to often but a wonderful night out on occasion. Service all around was great. Colby and Chase were lovely and Amber was wonderful to work with around event coordination.

Social Hall is a really comfortable but nice restaurant with a gorgeous patio and excellent food! The patio is absolutely gorgeous and so spacious. Its all walled in and has a lot of shade sails. Inside has a bar, booths, and various seating areas. All the food that came out looked so good and everyone enjoyed what they got. I ordered the fried chicken bao buns, with slight reservations about getting something like this at an American food place. But they were great! The bao buns were perfectly soft and warm, and served with extra of the slaw which was really great to add in as you got to the narrower part. What a great spot! Will definitely be back.

Stayed at the Moxy in Tempe near ASU on the July 4th weekend. It was relatively cheaper compared to…read moreother hotels around the area. (I'm assuming everyone's not at school). I got the two queen's beds. It doesn't come with a box spring but the bed is comfortable enough. The Front Desk Agent was very helpful and kind to us upon check in. Parking was $15.00 per night. The room was clean and spacious. A/C was blasting ice cold. The only downside about the Moxy here in Tempe is that it is an old, outdated property. The hallways do have that old motel smell to it, and they were fixing certain things in the hallways. It doesn't have a minibar or refrigerator and if you need ice, you'd have to get that at the bar. For the price I paid, it was worth it. If it is during peak season, then probably would not be worth it.

Soft pretzels and provolone fondue? Need I say more?

I came here for a really large work party and the best way to describe the ambiance was a nice wedding reception without a wedding. We had beautifully decorated tables with assigned seats, fun music, a bar, and photo ops. The drinks were good - in my opinion they were pretty standard event cocktails. Definitely tasty, but not craft cocktail level drinks. When it came time to eat and we all went through the buffet, I had pretty low expectations since it is a buffet to feed over 100 people. I have to say though, the food was really and truly wonderful. Best event food I've had hands down. Overall if you're looking for a fun place for your next large party this is a great option. I'd be happy to have a reason to go back!

Omni Hotels & Resorts is an established American luxury hospitality brand known for its upscale…read morecity hotels and destination resorts. The Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU opened in 2023 and brings that upscale hotel experience to the heart of downtown Tempe, right next to Arizona State University's campus. Our room was a good size, clean, and comfortable, and the bathroom was particularly nice. One thoughtful touch was the white noise machine next to the bed, which I appreciated. The lobby is also attractive and has a welcoming atmosphere. Our main issue was some rowdy neighboring guests who were blasting music around 10 p.m. We eventually requested a room change that night, which was a bit inconvenient. Another downside was that we didn't receive housekeeping service during our weekend stay. Overall, a solid stay with comfortable accommodations and a nice property. Just be aware that parking is valet-only at $39 per night, with no self-parking available. Verdict: A good downtown Tempe hotel, especially if you're visiting ASU or want to be within walking distance of Mill Avenue. A few service and noise-related hiccups, but overall a pleasant stay.

Let me begin by saying planning a wedding is a strange experience unlike anything I've ever done…read more (Hopefully) you only do it once and so it's generally not something you come into well practiced. That said it's easy to let hubris kick in and think "throw a big party... how hard could that be? Maybe I'll do it myself"... DON'T. Of all the investments you will make into your wedding the choice of hiring a wedding planner might be the most important. Stranger yet is that you need to make this choice up front, but the true value is back-end loaded as you get closer to the event. Be patient. When you are feeling the pressure of pulling off one of the most important events of your lifetime and ensuring your 150 person guest list has an amazing time and that a venue you've never been to before beyond the tour is everything you wanted and more on the day, in your pictures, and in your memories, Bloom and Blueprint will be there. Casey was an absolute joy to work with. Up front she put in the work to help put us in contact with prospective vendors, give us guidance on the process, do some budget planning, and get some input on what we were looking for and generally give us an overview of what to expect along the way. She adjusted her style to ours letting us be as involved as we wanted to be and also present for anything we needed when we had questions. The truly heavy lifting started about 3-4 months out from the wedding date as the design meetings came about and it was time to start putting together a show-flow. If we had been left to do any of the design ourselves it would likely have been nice, but what Maggie and her team did was nothing short of stunning, and would have been impossible for us to come up with even with years to plan. We and our guests loved how original, fun, elevated, and high quality the decorations and florals were. We had a 14 hour day of ceremony, lunch, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. Our requests were that we wanted it to feel effortless and unhurried to us and our guests. We wanted time to eat the food, drink the drinks, dance, and actually hang out with our guests. We didn't want to be ushered from place to place to check all the wedding boxes, we just wanted to have a good time on our wedding day with our favorite people. Casey organized everything in such a way that it felt seamless. Organizing the many vendors, working with the venue and advocating on our behalf, making sure none of the little details went overlooked and fighting any fires that come up to reduce the stress of the last minute unwelcome surprises. A story to highlight this was that one of our linens for the table coverings had become a central template for our program designs and seating chart etc. On the Thursday before our Saturday Wedding Casey and Maggie discovered that the linens were stuck in Chicago and were at risk of not arriving on time. Casey spent hours visiting other linen stores around AZ to find an alternate vendor, but the linens were proprietary to the original shop. In order to make sure their problem did not become our problem, Casey called me with a solution: they'd swap the tables and then do a custom wrap on the tables with the print. It turned out better and more impressive than if the linens had arrived as planned and there were no surprise expenses. We could not be happier with the way our wedding turned out and it is thanks in large part to Casey and Maggie.

We were anxious about the price, but it was absolutely worth it to have the details taken care of for you. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Casey is extremely thorough, communicates clearly, and takes all the stress out of the process. Our wedding weekend was such a success thanks to her dedication and hard work -- she truly made us feel like we were the only couple that mattered that weekend. Her knowledge of South Asian multicultural weddings was impressive (honestly, she knew more than I did!). We couldn't have asked for a better planner and can't recommend Casey and Bloom and Blueprint enough!

Running between the two to help guests and customers. The Front Desk Guy didn't know how to mix any cocktails and he couldn't get the draft beer to pour.

I was told I would not be able to rearrange furniture for the event unless I get invoiced. But before that, I was able to do measurements and scope out the place to make sure everything was ready to go before the event started. I understood that bookings could happen before my event to prevent me from rearranging, but Kayla blatantly lied to me saying the room was booked the week of the event and it was booked "daily." I checked the Giggster app and there were no bookings for that week, and the room was even open the day before the event. Long story short, they got very cold at the end. I would not consider booking with them again.

It's hard to list out all the reasons I love Mini Social: the event space itself, the customization that's possible, the location in Old Town Scottsdale, the kitchen, the storage space in the back, the lighting, 2 bathrooms inside, and all the options with the furniture (tables, chairs, couch, coffee table, etc) are all 10/10. Beyond this though, the team behind Mini Social is what stands out at the top of my list - they are truly so unmatched. You won't meet people more committed to making your event magical. While many people use Mini Social for private parties, baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, corporate events, etc, my experience has been with hosting craft socials for women's community events. I felt so supported by the team and got so much help from them in customizing the setup for my needs, plenty of time for setup and cleanup, and epic communication. They are absolute pros! Jessica is super talented when it comes to design elements, florals, balloons, etc. I feel like planning and hosting events can be so stressful and there are so many moving elements. It can be hard to let go of control or certain aspects in planning - but Luke & Jessica make it so easy and operate like your teammates. Cannnnnot wait to host another event here!

Our room had a view of the backside of the building, which wasn't pleasant, but you get what you pay for with the view. The rooms themselves are small and not great -- cramped and nothing special for what you're paying. The lobby has an odd style too. I think they're going for a quirky retro college vibe, but it just isn't my thing. I can see how some people might be into it, but it didn't land for me.
