I would not recommend this venue based on how my security deposit is being handled 3 weeks after…read moremy event. Immediately after my event, no damages were mentioned at all. The only communication I received was asking where an item I rented (the projector/VIBE) was placed. I told them, they found it, and that was the end of it. Shortly after, Alex (the COO) emailed me stating that my security deposit would be returned by this weekend. It still hasn't been returned. About 4 days after receiving the email from Alex , Chloe texted me asking if I had received my deposit. I told her no and sent her Alex's email confirming the refund. 2.5 weeks after my event, she suddenly claimed that damages were found after my event. This raised immediate red flags. - The venue had cleaners come in right after my event, so they would've notified her of damages just like they did after her other events. So I don't see what's so difficult about showing me the cleaners claimed that the kitchen door was locked. Obviously, it wasn't if she can't provide proof. - Chloe herself said she would come in the following day to confirm the rented equipment was where I stated. So again, why weren't these issues brought up immediately if there was truly damages done to her venue during my event. - I had already contacted her the next day asking about camera footage, and she told me the cameras do not retain footage past a short period Despite all of this, 2.5 weeks after my event, I received this message: "After your event, our cleaning team reported a few issues... 1. The kitchen door was locked and a locksmith was called 2. A crack found on the wall 3. A broken door stopper" When I asked for video footage or proof, none was provided. Instead, I was sent a screen recording of text messages between Chloe and her cleaning staff. Her cleaning staff said these issues occurred at another event the following weekend after my event. Immediately, when I said thats not the date of my event she unsends the screen recorded message between her and her cleaners.... They are now claiming that I locked the kitchen door, requiring a locksmith, yet when I asked for proof, I received no response from Chloe and Alex. As of now, I am still waiting for my deposit. This entire experience feels like an attempt to retroactively justify withholding a deposit. The lack of transparency, delayed claims, and refusal to provide evidence is extremely concerning and unprofessional. If you value clear communication, integrity, and lawful business practices, I would strongly suggest booking elsewhere

Parking is in front near the entrance, weekdays it's $4 /hr but free on the weekends. Admission is just a $5 suggested donation to support the arboretum. I arrived within the first half hour after opening to try and beat the heat. Even though it was still warm, there were plenty of shaded areas to stay cool along with benches that were great for relaxing. There was also a breeze so that helped. Thought about spending an hour there but glad I paid for two hours of parking because I ended up staying for 1 & 1/2 hours. One of my favorite moments were simply sitting on a bench listening to all the birds. Hopefully you can hear them on the video. This is a peaceful place to unwind and definitely encourage you to visit.

I came on a really hot day, so I only saw about half of the place, but it was such a nice time by the ponds, creeks, and little lake. Beautiful wildlife to admire, too -- turtles, ducks, fish, and tons of dragonflies and other lovely creatures peacefully about. We spent a lot of time admiring a group of docile ducks and enjoying the shade by the water. They also have an online plant shop for those interested in gardening (with a great ongoing deal). Planning on purchasing from there and picking up so I have an excuse to stop by again. Loved my time here. Expect to enjoy yours too!

It was a sunny afternoon/evening so a canopy of some sort would have been nice for guests sitting in the sun but other than that it was a beautiful wedding and venue. They even offered helicopter rides for only $70 for the guests! Parking was no problem, either. Awesome venue, cool experience!

I'll start by saying that this is the second time I have hosted an event here seven years apart from each other. The first was for my eldest daughter's sweet 16 and the second one was on January 2 for my youngest daughter's quinceanera. I cannot say enough, good things about Monica, the manager of this facility. From the start, she was so helpful, kind, and responsive. She made my entire process stress-free and even worked with me to ensure that I had more than sufficient time to set up. The venue staff the day of my event were wonderful! A shout out to the event captain Marisol for being amazing! My guests not only complimented the service they complimented how good the food was as well. Although it ended up raining the day of my daughter's event and we weren't able to use the patio area which we originally planned for, we were able to set up everything inside and it worked out very nicely. My daughter had a wonderful time and we walked away extremely happy with how everything turned out.. I give this venue, the service, the location, and everything else a 10 out of 10.

I've visited Spring Tea Garden for several occasions over the years - birthday party, a bridal…read moreshower, and casual girls' day outings. Each experience was hosted in a different room, which kept things feeling unique each time. For larger events like birthday parties, the food was served buffet-style, while smaller gatherings such as the bridal shower had table service, which felt more intimate and elevated. Most tea sets include scones with cream and jam, tea sandwiches, mini desserts, and a refillable pot of tea. Portions are on the smaller side, so you'll likely leave satisfied but not overly full. The food itself is decent but not particularly memorable. The atmosphere and experience are definitely the main draw here. It's a cute spot for a girls' day or special occasion, though it is a bit pricey. The middle-tier tea service is around $36 per adult, and they also offer a Little Princess Tea for kids at $20, which includes fruit, scones, desserts, and cucumber sandwiches + PB&J. One plus is the parking as they have a good-sized lot and I've never had trouble finding a spot.

Food 3/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Stumbled on this place on Yelp! My besties and I were looking for an afternoon tea place in OC to hang together after our reunion and this was the perfect place to chit chat & enjoy afternoon tea like we did in Cambridge! Loved the extensive tea collection but the food quality fell a tad short. The sandwiches were okay, nothing special. The desserts were okay as well - we had quite a bit of leftovers. The tomato soup and fruit cup was good, but salad was not fresh and I saw lots of rotten greens in my salad. Wish they'd wash / pick them out more thoroughly. It comes out to about $36/person before tax and tip, which I think is quite a good deal! The location can be a little difficult to find because the space is actually a banquet/event space where they do weddings, celebrations, showers, and parties. There isn't an obvious sign on the outside that says this is "Spring Tea Garden" but once you walk in, you'll see signs leading you to the spring tea garden. They have their own large parking lot so parking is not an issue. If you're visiting on the weekend, I highly recommend you reserve a table a day or two in advance. The space itself looks very historic, quaint, and cute! Love how much natural lighting the tea room has to give it an organic brightness to the room. I'd come back again for another girl's get together or a mommy-daughter thing.

Event type: Daughter's 18th birthday / Debut / Graduation Party…read moreDate: June 2026 Guests: 104 The Charleston was the perfect venue for our daughter's debut -- elegant, flexible, and incredibly supportive from the very beginning. It was actually the first venue we toured back in October, and it set the bar so high that nothing else came close. We visited several other places, but every time we walked out, we found ourselves saying, "It's just not The Charleston." One venue even tried to slash $3,000 off the price if we booked on the spot, which only made us feel uneasy. The Charleston, on the other hand, felt honest, professional, and genuinely invested in making our daughter's night special. The ballroom itself is stunning -- vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, uplighting, a full stage, LED screen, hardwood floors, bar areas, and a beautiful bridal suite. As parents, we wanted her debut to feel elevated and unforgettable, and this venue delivered in every way. A few standout details: * Planning Pod: Their floorplan tool made seating assignments incredibly easy. We could drag and drop guests into exact seats, which was a lifesaver for a debut with VIPs and a full court. The BEOs were clearly laid out too, keeping communication smooth for both our family and the venue team. * Early setup access: Starting at 11 AM gave everyone plenty of time to prepare without rushing. * DIY friendly decor: They allowed us to decorate the ballroom ourselves, and staff was supportive the entire time. They even set up tables for assembling flower arrangements. * Band + DJ compatibility: Zero technical issues all night. The elevator access made load in easy for everyone. (DJ Ramon Guzman: Highly recommend booking him. He served as both DJ and MC, ran the entire program flawlessly, and kept the energy flowing.) * Custom video loop: Our welcome video played throughout the night and added a beautiful personal touch. * Parlor/bridal suite: Debutante and her court used it all day for hair, makeup, wardrobe changes, and quiet breaks. * Professional staff: Every interaction -- from load in to teardown -- was organized, friendly, and efficient. Emily, John and crew were fantastic! * Food: We chose the Charleston Signature Buffet, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. Some even admitted they went back for seconds (or thirds!). * Guest experience: Parking, entrance flow, open bar, grazing table, buffet line, champagne toast, coffee service, cake cutting, and seating layout all felt polished and effortless. We didn't hear a single negative comment. As parents, we just wanted our daughter's debut to feel special, stress free, and unforgettable -- and The Charleston delivered all of that and more. The night was beautiful, seamless, and everything we hoped it would be, and our daughter absolutely loved every moment of it. If you're planning a debut, wedding, or milestone event, we highly recommend The Charleston. It's the kind of venue that lets you actually enjoy the moment.

I love that you can provide your own catering, we had our family business cater the food for our event and that was nice because no other venues we looked at allowed that. Our wedding coordinator Katie put in so much work for our wedding and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. She gets things done! My best tip for someone looking to book is to be very organized and clear with every item you want if you are planning to bring your own decor, they are great and will get it done! But being organized will make things easier. The venue closes at 10pm, but we were able to book an area 12 minutes away at one of the bars in Downtown Fullerton.

We started planning our July wedding in January 2022, and we wanted to have everything outside so that guests wouldn't worry about masking indoors during the time of Covid. The Griffith House has huge space for everything. The other great thing that others have already mentioned is that, other than table, chair, and bar rentals, you get to choose your own vendors and bring your own alcohol - provided you pay for their bartender and security, of course. You do have to work with (and pay) one of their in-house day-of coordinators from Hutchinson Weddings, but Amy, who we we worked with, was very helpful working through the rentals that we used from the venue, as well as coordinating our outside vendors on the day of the wedding. We really wanted to choose our own caterer and bakeries, to choose wines and beers that we liked, and to bring my own pro audio equipment for the ceremony and music. The Griffith House let us do all that.
