Denise, thank you for your contribution to our special day. I would highly recommend for other folks who need a top-notch caterer!

The little outside play area they have for kids is so cute! When I was walking the grounds, I just felt at peace. There is plenty of seating. When I came by, they were having a class for seniors and a band was rehearsing in the teen lounge. You really get a sense of community here. I learned that they do summer concerts here and I would LOVE to check one of those out! Honestly I wish I knew about this venue when I got married. I definitely would have considered it! Prices seem very fair and they include close to everything (chairs, linens etc). Parking is limited but they have shuttle companies they work with for larger events. Staff was very friendly too! Looking forward to my next visit.

The main hall/events room can accommodate approximately 15 large round tables, if I remember correctly, with approximately 8-10 people each. The outdoor deck allows for setup of beverage bars, as well as a serving area for food. The common areas are well-maintained. The reception area is at the entrance, with a wet-bar off to the right side of the main lobby. A food prep and storage area are conveniently located in separate siloed rooms, which connect to the main dining hall/event space. There is lots of space to work with for any function. Whether a company event, family function, or wedding, you can do it all at this place. The architecture is modern, sleek, and charming. Onsite parking allows for your guest to easily access the venue from a close distance. There is additional overflow parking down the hill. There is a nice greenbelt in the back of the building that can be used for additional space, as well as a walking path overlooking the hillside. Our team members made use of the outdoor space. Team members found space to connect in smaller groups for private discussions. Had fun taking selfies and group pictures with the hillside as the backdrop.

Absolutely loved this place at first sight, and glad we chose it as our wedding venue!…read more We married in the midst of Covid when every place was either shut down or limiting guests to 25-50 people. It's a hidden gem that can easily accommodate an intimate crowd of 75-125. Our wedding guests of 120 was more than enough; anything more would've made it too difficult for guests to comfortably move around. l highly recommend this place for your next event. You'll love being able to exercise your creativity without the fussy restrictions of a major hotel, hall or fancy wedding venue.

Great venue! Great location! The one star is for the rude, smelly, entitled Lantz security guard…read morewho came with the place and ate dessert and kept eyeing the food and open bar at the beginning of the event while guests were getting seated. The gracious host was unaware at the time and even invited him to get a plate after the guests had been served but was unaware that this very unprofessional security guard had already helped himself earlier. I was told later that he was just supposed to be in the front entrance but kept getting in the way by walking around everywhere in the small venue. North Ranch Center needs a better security company. Lantz Security brings your place down.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of Officiating a wedding taking place at Eden Gardens…read more The grounds are too beautiful to describe in this brief review, and I would certainly advise a site visit to take it all in. 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

Dear Hubby and I have visited Hartley Botanica several times over the years. We have a photo of…read moreour now-22 year old grandson in Papa's arms when he was maybe 3 years old there! We were checking out their collection of exotic birds at the time. We tried to take our granddaughter somewhat recently and caught them on a day when they were hosting an event, so we didn't stay. Thankfully, the Camarillo Garden Tour featured this charming venue as one of their featured gardens in this year's event. It was fascinating to see how the property has evolved since we last spent time there. They have definitely made their primary space into a wedding venue haven with multiple garden "rooms", and a gathering space with dance floor and refreshments areas for the reception part of the special occasion. There is a small formal rose garden near the entrance for a welcoming space. The parrots and other tropical birds are no longer there, which is a shame from our perspective. I can imagine that they might be distracting for the wedding events, so there is a sense to moving on with retiring that aspect of the gardens. The owners were very gracious to have their lovely place serve as the spot where refreshments were served as part of the tour, plus the opportunity drawing prizes were displayed there, a small boutique, and a live band played to entertain the garden tour guests. We enjoyed lingering for a while. We also explored all of the main areas of the property. Delightful! The gardens have matured beautifully over the years, and the added artistic touches of lighting, stamped pathways with leaf shapes, and other charming elements speak well of the creative vision that brought this space to life.

UPDATE Hi tommy…read moresince you would rather respond to my yelp review instead of my husbands email regarding YOU providing physical PROOF of the "extensive mess" we caused. surely if it was "so extensive" you would of photgraphged this mess correct?..i will upload the photos my planner took prior to the ceremomy and the text msgs i had with my wedding coordinator who made sure the cottage was clean. we didnt eat, nor apply any makeup in the cotttage, in fact i was the ONLY person who put their dress on in the cottage (for photos). again in order to accuse someone of damages you need to PROVIDE PROOF of the damages!.. secondly knowhere on the contract does it say the last call is at 9:15. i will upload a screen shot of my contract that says 'beverage service will end no later than 9:30" i also have an email from cheryl saying last call is at 9:30pm then why were you announcing last call at 9:15pm? my contract also states that guest are to leave by 11pm. then why was your staff removing tables and chairs at 10pm!?!? asking my guests to get up so they can remove the tables!? you do realize all of this is a BREACH OF CONTRACT right? i also find it extremly disheartning that you partially responded to my yelp review. i would love to hear your response about how your on site manager tony failed to help us with the large puddle of water that i had to stand in for the entire ceremony. since we got charged for the "extensive mess" in the bridal cottage shall we expect you to pay for the cleaning i had to pay for to get the literal MUD removed from my dress and heels due to your staff over watering the grass hours before my ceremony was to start?, what about you breaching our contract that i stated above?, regarding the DJ mess, my DJ went to tony multiple times to explain that the speakers were muffled even on low sound to songs with alot of bass. Tommy, if you cannot provide proof of the damages we will continue to dispute the charges and seek legal action if this cannot be resolved especially since our contract was breached on many accounts. please email us PROOF of the "extensive mess" we caused and we will have no problem in paying. Thank you. p.s. to any couples who are with this venue, please take photos of everything, please double and triple check the policies you and the venue agreed to so you dont end up like us.

We had our wedding in late August 2018 at Brookview, and the quick review is that the day was…read moreMAGICAL. We loved the venue and Brookview team! If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I would. We leave the venue with a very positive experience. The venue itself is beautiful, nestled in the Agoura Mountains, with one level of the vast green lawn for the ceremony (tucked under beautiful big trees & twinkle lights), and then above the ceremony on another vast green lawn is the reception. For us, the venue was the perfect solution because they already handled many elements (wooden dance floor, twinkle lights, built in bar, built in speakers at reception, real bathrooms), so we didn't feel like we needed to do "as much" DYI as other locations required. But, we were still able to make it our own and very personalized. Another benefit of Brookview is that you can get access early in the morning (9AM) for the bridal party to do hair & make up (not all California venues allow this, surprisingly). Working with Cheryl (for the year leading up to the wedding) was so easy and pleasant. She was gracious the entire time, and she was kind enough to allow us to tour the venue a few times with our out-of-state parents, as well as our coordinators. So, we felt that we had a very good understanding of the space, process, etc. The team was very responsive to emails throughout, and ultimately hired someone while we were planning (named Priscilla, she's great!) to oversee the day-to-day, layouts, logistics, etc. That immensely helped as we got closer to the big day. Another great offer that Brookview has is a large golf cart for grandparents and the wedding party, driving us to/from the bridal suite and groomsmen cottage for our "first look", ceremony, family photos, etc. The golf cart also drives the couple up to the "look out point" above all the other mountain peaks for fabulous photos with your photographer. This is a must-do... Truly stunning. The bridal suite is gorgeous (whites, grays, and pinks) with great lighting for hair and make up. We spent the entire day there listening to music and getting ready. It was very spacious and was a great home base for us. Same for the groomsmen's cottage. Writing an honest review of course comes with some critiques, but they are minor. More so, I write this to help Brookview continue to be the great venue that they are! - Grass at ceremony: The spot where the bride/groom stand was newly planted with grass sod, and you could see the seems from the pieces of sod, so it didn't look like clean, beautiful grass. It was also a bit muddy, so we asked them to stop watering it while we were doing our rehearsal the day before. This should be resolved if they take care of the new grass, so hopefully this was just a 2018 problem. -Clean Up: The venue requires that all personal belongings be cleared out of the suites before the ceremony. It would be less stressful on the coordinators if we had until the end of the night to have that space cleared out (or even the next morning). We just had to be very on-top of this, when there was a lot more going on that felt more important, such as getting the ceremony/reception ready. -Attention to detail with emails: There were moments throughout the planning process where mistakes were made in rental orders, what was included in our package, etc. So, we had to be very careful in checking the work to be sure everything was correct. Not a big deal, but worth noting.

It was slightly on the smaller side for our guest count at that time (approx. 175-200). The drive up is not bad--about 40 mins from LA. I loved their caterer attached the venue and we even did a tasting with Truly Yours and loved it. They also allow you to bring your own alcohol which will save you so much money and will also let you pick what you want. Honestly, the main reason I didn't go with this place is that it was slightly small for our size and the manager, Laura, was rude and not friendly at all. This is our wedding for crying out loud! You want someone who is going to be pleased to have you there and be personable. She is unfriendly and not helpful and I didn't want bad vibes at my wedding venue. She was short in her replies, very slow to respond to emails and seemed bothered by us honestly. Instead we got married at Malibu West Beach Club who has an amazing manager and had the wedding of our dreams.
