We intended to go somewhere else initially, but pivoted to this. We ordered a margherita pizza, a prosciutto and burrata pizza and a caesar salad. All of it was really solid. We almost didn't order the prosciutto and burrata because it was sauce-less, but we ended up enjoying it. The salad might have been the best thing on the table, which is no slight against the pizza, but more about how enjoyable the salad was. Overall, we enjoyed our final stop. The parking lot is tiny and is valet-only, for $8, FYI.

I first heard about Wedgewood Weddings through a few friends who had used them for their weddings,…read moreand after doing my own research, I completely understood the hype. Even though I toured a few other non-Wedgewood venues, I just knew choosing Wedgewood would mean a smoother, more stress-free experience. Their all-in-one business model was exactly what I needed. I was such a laid-back bride because of it! People kept asking if I was nervous leading up to the big day, and I'd always say, "No, why would I be? Everything is handled. I'm just excited to marry my person." And honestly, that's exactly how it should be. Wedgewood Weddings truly gave us the wedding of our dreams. The Harper is such a gorgeous venue. From the moment we arrived, the entire team--especially Lindsay and Jess--went above and beyond to make our day feel effortless, joyful, and full of love. They made my husband and me feel completely cared for, checking in with us throughout the day, keeping everything perfectly on track, and even rallying our wild groomsmen (which is no easy feat!). Our guests were blown away. Everyone raved about how attentive, organized, and kind the staff was. The welcome champagne was such a special touch and a total hit. Valet parking was a huge help, especially with limited parking at the venue. The food? Incredible. Guests were shocked at how many options there were. My uncle, who works in wedding catering, was taking notes because of how well everything was set up and executed! Wedgewood also partners with amazing vendors. Our dessert table from Patty's Cakes was a crowd favorite (the cupcakes, cookies, and cake were all divine), Olivia's Mum created stunning floral arrangements that matched my inspiration photos perfectly, Caleb from DJ Maestro kept the dance floor alive with spot-on music cues and an amazing vibe, and True Photography captured breathtaking, flawless photos that we'll treasure forever. The entire day ran like clockwork. We got to enjoy every single bite of food, every hug, every dance, and every laugh, because Wedgewood had it all handled. I never felt rushed or stressed. It truly felt like we were in the best hands from beginning to end. I honestly can't thank Lindsay, Jess, and the rest of the Wedgewood team enough for their warmth, professionalism, and heart. They poured so much care into every moment of our wedding, and it showed. If you're considering The Harper by Wedgewood Weddings, DO IT. It was hands down the best decision we made.

A DREAM OF A WEDDING VENUE…read more I absolutely love how upon entering this venue, you are teleported to a beautiful space! SO MANY UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT THIS VENUE. First off, the people were great. We worked with Taryn, Katie, and mainly Jess! All of these ladies were so on top of everything, informative, and helpful! Jess was a rockstar and really helped us feel at ease at our final production meeting. We also had so much fun at the tasting events!! I left home with the FULLEST stomach and had some super yummy food. Now for the venue itself. UGH IT WAS PERFECT! I will go room by room The small garden right at the entrance was so cute! It was perfect for little intimate moments. I did my first look there. And took photos with my family before the ceremony. It was also a great space to spend some time with our wedding party before the event officially started. Photos were perfection! Now the bridal suite WOWWEEE! So cute! Spacious too. And love the giant bathroom! Since the walls were glass, we had great natural light in there. Such a lovely bridal suite! We had access to it all night so it was great to have all our things in there that we could easily grab during the wedding. Grooms suite was awesome! A different vibe. It was dark and manly lol LOVE how it connected to the bridal suite via bookcase! Felt like an escape room The ceremony site was BEAUTIFUL. A very naturally beautiful area, especially at sunset. During our reception, the ceremony area became a lounge area. Our guests had fun hanging out at the cocktail tables, lounge couches, and even using the photobooth. The reception area..WOWWEEE!! The window up at the top is so beautiful. My only regret about not being able to have a day time reception was that the light never got to come through the window. But the reception hall was beautiful. It sat 200 guests comfortably. The dance floor was a good size and was central. Bathrooms were awesome as well! Overall, the wedding was PERFECTION. The best night of my life. And I would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

It was a piece of a cutlet cut up in a smaller pieces. Nothing that exciting. We also try their ipswich clams and shared them a little bit on the smaller side, but still delicious. For the main entrée, most of us had the fresh halibut and one person had the Sandabs. Everything was delicious and tasty. We also had some Amazing asparagus cooked perfectly. For dessert it was a nice piece of key lime pie.

This was our first stay at the Pasea and so much of it was great!…read more PROS We bought our two young dogs and two kids and it was a great experience traveling with them! First of all, the people who work here are so nice! Peter was always smiling and giving the dogs treats (with permission every time). I swear they started looking for him- and they're pretty anxious around people. There are no dogs allowed in the pool area which I get but it makes it a little tough to juggle the kids wanting to swim for hours and not leaving the dogs unattended in the room. The beds were comfy and they have a built in sound machine system and it was the first time I have ever see that! I loved it! I struggle to sleep in hotels but wasn't bothered by any noise. The hotel is right across from the beach and next to an outdoor shopping mall. We walked to and from multiple times on our trip and it was nice to be close by! They also have beach chairs, towels and sand toys to borrow! They have adult bikes but nothing for the kids so we didn't utilize those. The restaurant is good with dog friendly seating and gluten free options. We had dinner there only. CONS the dog park is so cute and convenient but it wasn't sprayed off at all while we were there and since it was plastic grass, there was poo smeared all over the place. It was hard to find a spot to stand and you hope your dog doesn't walk through it. It also smells like warm pee. We were still grateful for it but I think a small patch of real grass would have been less gross! The fee for dogs is $150 a night and that adds up quickly! The bathrooms are not practical for families. They don't lock, the toilet room has fogged clear glass with big gaps so no one could be in the bathroom getting ready or showering if anyone else was in the toilet room. Also, there was a slider on the outside of the shower that allows the entire room to see you in the shower which was odd. I understand the desire for this if it was a couples trip but why not have the sliding door on the inside so the naked person can make the decision rather than anyone on the outside deciding to open it mid-shower? Parking is a whopping $60 a night plus there is only valet which means you either tip every single time you pull your car in or out or you feel like a jerk. The valet guys were great and we wanted to tip everyone but ran out of small cash bills quickly. We stayed two nights and had to pull our car out 4 times which is 8 tips. When you're paying $120 to park that's crazy! The jacuzzi is just warm not hot and the jets when on are cold! That was bummer. Overall I don't think we will return because there are so many awesome hotels in the area to try but we did enjoy our stay and found it worth the money! The Shorebreak Hotel doesn't charge for dogs so we will be going there next time!

But, we were not allowed to wait at the hotel for the Uber, we had to walk across the street. The lil boys were condescending in nature and definitely thought that parking nice cars was a power proffesion which gave them a voice to undermine a 6'5" 250 Lb man and his wife. I am not friendly, I am not kind, but I have respect for people.....all people. I will never go to this place again. I would rather spend my money downtown grass roots HB. F tourists and F this place. My wife loves it. I will try to get her to not go anymore. Lastly, I wanted to drive.....and if we would have that would have changed everything. Got the G ride so then Valet would have been respectful. Is not about money. It is about common decency. I will never return to this place.....tourists suck, hahhahahha and to be treated like a bum in my home town by a lil 5ft boy/girl? Not sure, doesnt matter.

Shout out to bartender Dee for making us some shots and cocktails that we enjoyed. (Tonight, the bar was stocked low on some of the liquor to make the specialty cocktails I wanted to try; however, she mixed other drinks that were still refreshing.) The music was great and the decor/atmosphere was fun. There aren't very many gay bars left in Orange County with a dance floor, so it's nice to support places such as this. Note that the bathroom in the corner of the Birdcage Lounge is nicer than the one by the dance area. Overall, a fun Friday night!

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had, and it happened in the middle of the night…read morewhen you expect basic support the most. Around 3:00 AM, I discovered that the air conditioning in our room was not working. The room was hot, uncomfortable, and completely unsuitable for rest. Given the situation, we went to the front desk to request a room change. Instead of helping, the staff member on duty immediately became rude and confrontational. I calmly explained that she was extremely tired and asked if we could move our belongings in the morning (before 8 AM) rather than in the middle of the night. That's when things escalated. He responded loudly: "You are not supposed to do this. You cannot keep two rooms. That's not how this works." His tone was aggressive and completely unnecessary. I politely asked him to lower his voice, but instead he became even more agitated. He started yelling in the lobby, saying things like, "How could you do this to me? It's only me working today--why would you bring this up right now?" At that point, it felt like he was taking his frustration out on us for simply reporting a problem. As the situation continued to escalate, I told him he needed to control himself and questioned why he was escalating things so far. In response, he said he would call the police to remove us. Let that sink in--paying guests, in the middle of the night, dealing with a broken AC, being yelled at in the lobby and threatened with police involvement. The entire interaction was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and honestly shocking. I was exhausted, overheated, and just asking for a reasonable solution. Instead, I met with hostility and public confrontation. Basic service recovery, respect, and professionalism were completely missing here. Instead of being able to rest, we found ourselves awake at 3:38 AM writing this review. What should have been a simple service request turned into an unnecessarily stressful and disruptive experience due to the staff member's unnecessary dramatic attitude in handling the situation.

As a big fan of edm events and having been to around 20 different venues and nightclubs, this was…read moreprobably the worst. It is not a venue for music fans, it's a venue for old-school club-goers. They somehow have worked out a deal to get some really big dj names but their venue really can't support it. The dance floor is like 10ft across. They only have tables otherwise you're relegated to the outskirts of the venue (they keep you far away so their bottle girls have free access to the tables surrounding the dance floor). If you want to sit for a few minutes then be prepared to get there early and fight for the 2-3 tables that are free next to the entrance. Randoms people will likely walk over you and sit on top the couches that you're actively sitting on so don't get too comfortable. Better off driving 2 hours to a different city with a venue that understands edm fans. Basically this is just a basic nightclub. Bonus for free parking. But I would never come here to see my favorite artists after that first visit. Not unless they completely remove those tables from the dance door area.
