If you're looking for a venue that truly supports your vision and helps create a magical experience, I can't recommend them enough. Our night was everything we hoped for and more.

The whole crew that…read morehelped us organize the event were amazing, Daniel was totally on top of everything at all times and available whenever we needed help. Carla was also great at organizing and keeping the wedding flowing, she gave us some great decorating ideas, the place looked fabulous. We used the second floor of the venue since we had a small 50-person wedding and everyone agreed that they had the time of their lives. Parking was incredible, the DJ and catering were amazing as well. Ignacio was out DJ/MC and Martin ran the gourmet buffet. We will always remember that day and highly suggest anyone who wants to have a party use this location for their event. Great value and quick response times made things much smoother and less stressful and time consuming. Thanks again Daniel for all your help with creating what will always be the most important day of our lived. Cheers!

This venue was perfect for my daughter's 18th birthday. I worked directly with one of the owners…read moreSebastian, and he was easy to deal with and delivered everything that was promised. We switched venues just two weeks before the event and still managed to pull it off. The venue itself is 5 out of 5 stars. It was clean, polished, and beautiful. Our theme was "Gala" and it fit just perfect. Very little decor you need because the lights, tables and covers and venue itself was perfect! The staff, however, was more of a 2 out of 5. Security was great, but the event manager Karla was not prepared or available. As soon as she arrived, she said she was leaving to get something to eat, and I couldn't even find her when I needed assistance. She wasn't familiar with the plan discussed with Sebastian and didn't know about several things that had already been arranged, including the fact that there was an area for us to get ready in. Also the bartender which I believe was another owner was not pleasant to some of my guest, very short to some of them (all I serving was wine and beer). Also, there crew was hanging out in front of the venue chatting away, it wasn't professional. For all the extra service fees I would have expected more. I will say Sebastian was 5/5, great customer service and very friendly and helpful! We had submitted a floor plan and setup details ahead of time, but on the day of the event some things were off. Lounge chairs were missing and brought in during the event, and we had to set them up ourselves. A table was missing, she brought it in but didn't have a cover, I couldn't use it. Had to improvise but I made it work. Also, we were able to bring unload things earlier and we were told to place it in a certain area, when we arrived back, it was moved without us being informed. We were scrambling to look for things! When a family member lost his wallet, I texted the event manager Karla and never got a response. I ended up contacting Sebastian directly, and he handled it promptly. I would book this venue again, but I would definitely request different staff. Despite the behind-the-scenes issues, my daughter had a successful and memorable event.

The space itself is absolutely beautiful--elegant, well-maintained, and perfect for creating a memorable event. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the team.

The collaboration to bring smashed burger (forgot their name) was well seasoned and juicy, and cooked to order at the club! Wow I can go on and on!

Everything flowed effortlessly and the atmosphere she created made my husband feel so celebrated and loved. Watching him take it all in was the best part of the night and that would not have happened without Jamie's attention to detail and heart for what she does. You can tell she truly loves her work and the people she works with. If you are considering this venue do not hesitate. Jamie doesn't just host events she creates meaningful unforgettable experiences. I would trust her again in a heartbeat

I attended a birthday event here 12/27/24…read more The venue was not well labeled and the building seemed small. From the outside, it looked like a dentist. Very little parking and the back leads into an alley way. There was a lot of guests so we were told to park in the residential area which had sketchy surroundings when walking back towards the event space. When we entered the space, it felt like an open layout house. Fairly modern design. Useful space. Two restrooms for guests. There was a small connecting area with a fridge for storage. The next room over was perfect for a small play bouncer. No kitchen area. The catering company all had to set up outside in the already limited parking lot area. The pavement was in ruin. Needs to be replaced. The AC was very cold on a 67 degree day. Two stars docked for the limited parking. inconvenience and the odd location in a commercial/residential zoned area.

We did a tour and loved the venue. Our event was mostly DIY which required us to maintain communication with Nellie to make sure we had everything we needed for decor and set-up.

Nellie was there on the day-of for guidance and additional assistance. I would definitely choose to plan another event here if the opportunity arises. The venue is clean and beautiful but Nellie's professional and kind service was the cherry on top.

Overall, this space can be transformed into anything, and gives such a special feel: perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or even a micro-wedding reception! Highly recommend this place!

From the moment I reached out to the property I was always in communication with one of their contacts. Even scheduling a viewing or walk-through they were always responsive. This team was such a joy to work. They extremely professional and friendly. Any moment I had questions or needed clarification they were absolutely on it and provided all the resources I needed. The Kraemer building not only has a lower level lobby to host private events or get together's but the upper units in the building are also Airbnb's (which you can directly find on the website when looking to book) The venue (lower lobby) alone is a remarkable gorgeous property. It's two stories and really has everything you need. You feel like you're in a different era while being there. You can tell there's a lot of history and it's an extremely special property. Thank you VNT properties for a memorable experience.

Apparently, it used to be a club, but has now changed into a very high-end and cool venue for weddings or whatever type of event you want to have. One of the first thing you notice when you turn in is the amount of ample parking. There are two secured Gates that open up to a huge parking lot, definitely not cramped for sure. And it has plenty of handicap spaces which is very nice. Walking into the open air pavilion, is a real treat. What a great space! This would be a great place for outside dining, or having a band play out there and dancing, if you didn't want to be cooped up inside. Definitely tons of possibilities at this venue! Inside, there is a bar on one end and a stage on the other with a huge open area. This would be perfect for a wedding or something that's held inside, if you did not want to brave the elements outside. Company on site, and can pretty much do anything you need. And that's not all, there is an upstairs area that is perfect for an overflow room, or a VIP lounge, or just a place for say a wedding party to take a break, or anything you really want to do with it. It even has a nice little outside courtyard that you can sit and get some fresh air. I could almost write a book about how awesome this place is but suffice to say if you live in Orange county and are looking for a premier venue to have your event at, I don't think you could do any better than the colony House. Give them a call today and see what's up!
