The bathrooms are very clean but small with only two stalls for women and a powder room for one. Somehow I never had to wait long so that's good.

The most beautiful venue for a wedding with stunning indoor and outdoor photo opportunities and…read moreelegant decor. However, I was very unimpressed with the food. There were at least six guests who requested vegan meals and were served a simple curry over rice. The salad was not vegan, the dessert was not vegan, and even the vegetables were cooked in butter, making them unsuitable as well. Meanwhile, other guests had multiple dish options to choose from. For such a high end wedding venue, the lack of consideration for dietary restrictions was extremely disappointing. The food overall felt like the weakest part of an otherwise beautiful experience, and it is the only reason I would hesitate to recommend this venue.

I have worked with them on various on campus events as a client as well as attended their events as a guest they have planned. The ECS team of event planners are always friendly, helpful and can get even get creative when I am putting an event together. They have huge parking lots, lots of classrooms, and a few larger rooms for banquet style set-ups. They also have a modern, eco-friendly venue called the McMahan House with three "breakout" rooms in addition to the Great Room. The entire facility can comfortably host up to 120 people. While it sits "on campus", it is nestled on a small hill overlooking the University track with a view towards the main campus. They use a variety of outside local food vendors which can assist with different themes, dietary needs and requests. My favorite is Cafe Catering, as they always have great food at a reasonable price. And from sandwiches to pasta bars to mac and cheese, they always seem to do it right. There can be some paperwork that you need to get through for your event, but I am guessing that is to be expected when events are handled in a professional manner. A hidden gem to use for your meetings or events in North County.

She does baby showers, and other events, too! This summer, my best friend's co-ed baby shower was put together by Hannah, and it was beautiful! Dealing with a hormonal soon-to-be mom isn't easy, and I have to say that Hannah definitely made my friend and her family feel so comfortable and stress-free throughout the entire process of planning and execution. Hannah went so far above and beyond for my friend, and for that, we are all thankful! By request, Hannah was present the day of, and she made sure everything went seamlessly. My friend wanted her baby shower to have a country vibe, and the location itself was just that! It was in a beautiful park-like setting that had the cutest garden with a farm of baby goats in the background. I just melt when I think back to it! The centerpieces on the tables were floral arrangements that were so beautiful and had some of the most fragrant roses I've ever smelled. Hannah's attention to detail is second to none. The photo area had balloons that spelled out "OH BABY" and they were attached to rustic watering cans that were filled with flowers that matched the centerpiece arrangements, and the refreshment area had drinks in matching rustic buckets and troughs. As for food, my friend decided to have a food and desert truck present, and Hannah coordinated their arrival and menu options. There were several games set up to keep the guests entertained, as well. There's so much more that I could add about the baby shower, but I'll just say that it was so great and such an amazing experience that I hired her to help me with the annual Christmas party I host in my home. Let me start by saying that I didn't expect for her to take on such a big task of helping me with a holiday, when I know she probably had her own holiday events going on, but she did! I gave her an idea of what I was looking to do, and she made it happen! She even took care of invitations for me! I don't have ample seating, so she made sure that we got enough tables in to accommodate the large number of guests that were attending. I mentioned to her that I absolutely loved the centerpieces from my friend's baby shower, and I was so excited when she told me that she'd make sure I would get centerpieces just as beautiful, and they were. Dark roses, green pines, burgundy lilies, and some smaller green and white flowers adorned the tables along with scattered ornaments. The place cards were the guests' names in script, die-cut from wood that the guests could take with them to use as home decor or a tree ornament. I thought it was such a great idea. Being that I was still behind on decorating for the holiday, she made sure that the house had fresh decorations. Garland adored the stair balusters and railing, a fresh wreath hung on the door, and giant red bows hung from each lantern at the garage. Also can't forget the mistletoe hanging from an archway inside! The house smelled like a winter cabin and felt like one, too! The only thing I told Hannah that I absolutely wanted was a Christmas ham, bundt cakes, and Christmas cookies. If it wasn't for her, that's probably all I would have had, but she made sure that I had full appetizer, dinner, and dessert options for the guests. I wish I could give a better visual of both events, but I'm one of those people who pays no mind to the phone when I'm with others. One day, I'll get better at remembering to take at least one photo for my reviews. All in all, as a guest to a Red Letter Event and as a client of Hannah's, I've had wonderful experiences. I will most certainly be using her services in the future.
