It's tucked into a strip mall, but don't let the exterior fool you--the moment you step through the doors, you're transported into a polished, high-end fine dining experience that rivals any top spot in the county. ​Every single detail here is executed with precision. The depth of flavor in the dishes, the stunning plate presentation, and the extensive, beautifully curated wine list are all top-tier. What truly sets The Winery apart, though, is the service. The care and genuine warmth from the entire team are exceptionally rare these days. ​A highlight of our evening was meeting William, one of the owners. He was so gracious, knowledgeable, and giving of his time, sharing fascinating insights about the origins and vision of the restaurant. ​Pro Tip: Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, planning a date night, or just looking for an unforgettable meal, book a table here. It is truly one of Orange County's absolute best-kept secrets, and you will not be disappointed!

I can't remember the owners names, but they've all been working together for so long - making this restaurant such a homey, cozy, and welcoming environment. We can't wait to come back after work again.

Leading up to our reception, Shumaila was very organized, easy to work with, and responsive. Communication was great throughout the entire process, and she really took the time to understand what we wanted for our event while also helping fill in any details or gaps we may have overlooked. On the day of our reception, Shumaila and her team did an outstanding job overseeing the decor, table setup, and coordinating with all of our vendors. Throughout the reception, they stayed on top of everything, from managing the flow of the event and directing guests to regularly checking in with us to make sure we were doing okay and had everything we needed. They were also very kind and professional with our guests and did a great job directing everyone in a friendly and organized way. We genuinely felt like we didn't have to worry about anything during the reception because we knew their team was handling all of the details behind the scenes. They also made sure our other vendors were taken care of, which we really appreciated. Having them there allowed us to relax and enjoy our reception without worrying about logistics. We were very happy with their service and would definitely recommend SoCal Event Planners to anyone looking for a reliable, organized, and attentive coordination team!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

What a fun and therapeutic experience! I love candles and thought it would be fun to create my own…read morecustom candles. I loved the experience from beginning to end. You get to start off with choosing your own jar. From there, there's a bunch of scents that you get to pick from to start creating your own custom blend. The recommended is 3-4. The ladies working were so incredibly nice and helpful with giving guidance on which scents they thought would go well together when I couldn't decide. Once you've selected your scents, you get suggested measurements depending on which scents you want to be the top, middle or base note. And then you pour the oil into the wax. After that, I liked that you can choose what color you want the wax to be, and can even add shimmers. Once done, you can either wait 45-50 minutes til they're cooled to pick up or you can come back another day. I loved the way mine looks, and will be coming back for their perfume making class! Update: I lit both of the candles I made. One smelled more like candle wax than the oils I put in.. almost like a scented crayon. The other one smells better but it's very light. I would say both of them don't have a lot of throw. Still a fun experience overall but a bit of a bummer about the end product.

The setup of the class and activities has been rearranged almost every week which makes it feel like a different gym each time. There are also open gyms included in the membership where your little one can have free play. All of the parents/caregivers were very friendly, seems like a great community. The structure of the class so far has been: a little free play, circle time with songs and warm up exercises, learning to do a new "gymnastic exercise" with your little one and trying it a couple times, free play while they set up a fun activity that each child gets one turn to do, they set up swings (enough for most), maybe one more setup activity, books laid out for story time, then a goodbye song. Considering everything that is included in the membership, I think it is a great value. I canceled my membership after a month because my son got sick twice in 3 weeks, but there is a minimum 2 months you must pay. I was told they had a strict sick policy which is why I joined, but unfortunately they do not enforce it as we saw a ton of sick kids and parents each open gym and class. This may be fine for many, but just not for us since my son is not in school yet and had only been sick 2-3x in his life before this. They do a great job of keeping the location clean, and sanitize after each open gym and class, but not as beneficial if many kids in the class are sick. I may try the class another year when getting sick frequently isn't as big of a deal for us.

My husband and I were so lucky to work with Katie at B&B as our planner throughout this process, and she was such a blessing to have in our corner!!! To start, she provided great organizational resources that immediately made everything feel like it was manageable, with her detailed checklist really being the backbone of this entire process for us. We really looked forward to our check-ins with her because not only were they productive, but always a collaborative effort between us and her. She always made us feel heard, and when we had an idea, nothing ever seemed impossible to execute, as she helped us figure out how to make things we wanted happen. We opted for her services about a year out from our wedding day, and through every step, check point, and to-do list item, she walked us through anything we needed and always delivered when we needed her and even above and beyond. In addition to how supportive she was throughout the planning process, she also coordinated our whole wedding day flawlessly. She thinks of how things are going to be executed seamlessly and does the work of problem solving with you beforehand so that the day goes as smoothly as possible, and that it did for us. She's extremely professional and also did wonderfully at communicating with our vendors to ensure we were all on the same page. The success of our day is largely due to her being our planner, and we recommend her x100000. Thank you, Katie!!!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

Jasmine was also a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. She really listened to our ideas, gave us time to make decisions, and helped us stay within our budget. Huge thanks to the setup and cleanup team as well. They were punctual and respectful of the time we had the venue booked. My wife and I would definitely recommend The Simple Luxe to anyone (if it's within your budget).

I contacted the Picnic Collective about an event in San Diego…read more Below is a copy paste of our text correspondence to read for yourself: Me: Hi! I'm just wondering what Oceanside parks (not on sand) you are allowed to host on assuming 8-10 people. PC: I apologize I am not familiar with the city of Oceanside. I think just googling the parks would be your best bet for finding a location Me: Oops sorry I mean ocean side - meaning anywhere in San Diego. Any park that's near an ocean. PC: The only one I am familiar with is South Embarcadero Park Me: Ok so I guess then my question is do you have suggested locations? Or do I research and propose that? Where are you typically hosting picnics I mean? It seems there's a lot of rules so I can't figure out what is and isn't allowed. PC: I think you have to pick a place and then call about that specific place is how it works. Me: Ok no thanks looking to pay someone to do that legwork for me. Thanks. PC: Happy to do that for you. We offer location scouting which we charge $499 for this I was surprised at the price to provide me a list of allowable locations. So I pinged another company to see if they had a list of sites. I got a reply in 5 min with a list of locations that only the county allows. It's a very short list and easily posted online by county. Picnic collective charging you $500 to send this list is a scam and also you should seriously second guess they don't know or supply this to you with your inquiry. When I brought this to PC attention, instead of acknowledging the feedback - they proceeded to engage in a combative back and forth with me. I wonder how many suckers they've gotten for this $500. They're other untrustworthy & ripping people off or unknowledgable. The pure fact they wanted to argue with me on this simple issue was also indicative of what might have happened running a large event with them in recognizing a mistake. Be very careful committing thousands of dollars to an event with them and the county kicking your event out.
