When you drive up, it may look like the world is desolate and incomplete, but once you get behind the gate, you're placed into a gorgeous, rustic, Pinterest/Instagram worthy ambiance. Hors d'oeuvres were delicious with a great team making sure guests are fed, soused, and having fun! If you get the chance to attend or have a wedding here, I'd highly advise against getting the filet mignon. Cooking steaks en mass is difficult, my steak was over cooked. Poor cow who sacrificed his life. The chicken looks amazing though! Bartenders have heavy pours. You will have a ton of fun :)

I had a very disappointing experience with Hummingbird Wedding Hall, and unfortunately, it impacted…read morewhat was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of our lives. From the beginning, we were given verbal assurances that the event would go until at least midnight. Based on that understanding, we planned our entire wedding timeline, music, and flow of the evening. However, on the actual night of the wedding, the staff abruptly shut down the music at 10:30 PM -- cutting the celebration short with no flexibility or consideration. When we tried to address this, they pointed to fine print buried deep within a long, 10-page contract -- something that was never clearly explained or emphasized beforehand. Instead of working with us or honoring what was discussed, they relied on technicalities to justify ending the night early. It felt misleading and unprofessional. A wedding venue should prioritize clear communication and delivering on expectations, not hiding behind small print after the fact. The way this was handled left us stressed and frustrated on a night that should have been joyful and memorable for the right reasons. I would strongly advise future couples to be extremely cautious, go over every single detail in writing, and not rely on verbal promises -- because our experience showed that those promises may not be honored.

You will have zero regrets!

This food was incredible, the service was wonderful, and the restaurant was so impeccably designed and cozy! Every single dish was amazing and everyone needs to check it out!

My husband got the surf & turf plate -- was she described to be a five out of five! Our friends got the penne and the linguine pasta, which they loved as well!

Like other presidential libraries, this library is dedicated to the life of the former president,…read morehis accomplishments in office, and his enduring legacy. It also features exhibits covering significant periods of American history. A section of the library highlights President Reagan's role in promoting freedom through his opposition to the Soviet Union, communism, and terrorism. This is an excellent destination for a family outing, with engaging, hands-on exhibits for both children and adults. The cafeteria serves meals that are a step above typical fast-food fare. Even if you are not hungry, it is worth stopping in for a glass of water and taking in the beautiful views. Whether you are a history enthusiast or believe that authoritarianism and other threats to freedom are once again on the rise, this library is well worth a visit. Located in the Simi Hills, the library offers stunning panoramic views of Simi Valley and the Santa Monica Mountains.

This place is very nicely situated in the grounds, and the buildings seem quaint from the parking…read morelot - but once you get inside, you are overwhelmed by how large the place is, as you visit the galleries and exhibits, the Air Force One in the hangar, and additional displays out in back in the open. Then, many other buildings are also tucked into the areas behind the museum, so it is indeed much larger than I expected! The day I was here, they were setting up for a conference (2026 Reagan National Economic Forum), a few days off, so tons of white tents, stages, and chairs were all over - ruined some great photo opportunities! I couldn't even see the F-14 and the Abrams tank out back until I was between the many tents, but on a normal day, it would be easier to approach them. The entrance is at the back of the entrance courtyard, and I strongly suggest you get the audio tour! It fills in many gaps in the display signage (which, strangely for me, was often hard to read - lighting? Not enough contrast between text and background? Type size?). Most displays had a number that you accessed on the device, which was itself easy to use. But be aware - before you turn in your device at the bookstore or entrance desk, go outside to the back, where the Berlin Wall segment, the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, and the Reagan memorial site are; there are several displays out there with audio guide numbers, but I had already turned in my device, not knowing this. The America 250 "special exhibit," which had opened the week before, was worth the extra admission fee. Many wonderful, old artifacts, many from the 1700s and 1800s, that really bring you face to face with various periods of the nation's birth and growth. There is even a lower floor to that exhibit space, with large paintings in terms of size and grandeur, along with many displays of items such as vintage flags, rifles of all types from eras gone by, historical documents, garments and uniforms, and much more. Overall, rather than repeating many other reviews here, I will point out that you should set aside a day here to ensure you have enough time to visit and read all the displays you can. There was a ton of new information I never knew about Reagan! And one of my favorite aspects was the many quotes of his placed throughout the museum. So many were beautiful for their principles and what we - and America - are called to do in life. In these times, to hear these words from an iconic Republican president truly struck me in ways I had not anticipated. The Air Force One display, of course, is also cool. And the helicopter, Marin One! And the various vehicles, including an authentic "beast" (If I remember the nickname properly) and a Secret Service chase vehicle. There is also on the floor above the vehicles a history of the Secret Service, and on the ground floor, a mural depicting all of the planes in history that have officially flown a president. The pub in the hangar was closed, but you could peek at it from above. Much history, many beautiful displays in the special "America 250" exhibit, and the outdoor F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter, M1 Abrams tank, and F-14 are must-sees, but you need to find them! May have to ask directions to them. And of course, the Oval Office is different as well. This one is subtle, designed like a comfortable ranch living room with western desert color themes, and it is always fun to step into the office and imagine the conversations that happened there. And the jellybeans! They, too, are there. If you have a day in or near north LA or Simi Valley itself, give it a visit.

The most striking feature of all was the precision demonstrated by Soltana Mulhearn, and her team from Velvet Alley Events. https://www.instagram.com/velvetalleyevents/ From first meeting at rehearsal Soltana greeted the party, took us on a tour of the lovely property, and explained how the ceremony would be conducted. Soltana's deft handling of the 25, or so, members of the wedding party, all while being patient, and with a smile, was more than reassuring to me, and the others as well. Her staff seamlessly underpinned the event. Her staff were professional, well trained, and just beautiful people. A live event can go "off" at any time. Soltana kept the wedding on track from start to finish, and all with that smile! I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Eden Gardens, and the amazing services of Velvet Alley Events. Thank you. A. Corrao
