The four stars is because we were there on a cold morning, and as there was no heat, it was, well, cold in there! I understand the insane cost of heating places but it was distracting at times. The studio itself also doesn't have a bathroom. We were all waiting in line outside of the one-person-at-a-time outdoor access bathroom on the first floor of the building, which was a tad inconvenient. We were a small group and I can't imagine a bigger group, especially a sip and paint group, waiting to use that one restroom on a weekday when the other businesses in the building are open! Paint 'n party also does some events at restaurants, and I think that alone would make this a 5-star review for heat and convenient bathrooms. We did have a great time despite this!

This has been 2 months over due! I have nothing but great things to say about Insta Party Spot. I…read morecompletely sought out venues very late for my daughter's first birthday (a month before her birthday!) and I found Insta Party Spot on Yelp. I made a quick tour appointment on the site and was able to be seen a few days after I made my appointment. Andrew was our coordinator he was so fantastic with great customer service, from picking out our theme colors, chairs, types of tables, lighting, and he even sent out our quote the same day we toured the venue. He did let me know that there was a party planned for the evening time of the same day I needed (I requested a morning time), our times were from 10am-3pm. He sent out reminders through out the month from deposit reminders to full payment to asking last questions about the party. My estimate of attendees were 60 but then quickly jumped to 100 in the matter of 2 weeks and Andrew swiftly recommended a few changes to accommodate fitting everyone in the venue. Our two amazingly wonderful hosts assigned to us on party day were Alexandra and Danielle. These wonderful women were so great with helping us set up and suggested placement of decorations, fine tuned last minute touches, made the dessert table and the seating tables look great alongside with my mom and best friends. They even had all the tables and chairs ready with the requested linen before we even got there! The taco man (which Insta Party Spot had as a recommendation and a partner catering) was outside getting the taco meat ready. I requested the taco man to start serving at noon and they were ready at that time on the dot. I even hired a soft play company, and the hosts left a 13x13 spot for it and set the tables accordingly. Everything went so smoothly, the venue and hosts were amazing, the tacos were delicious and was perfect for the amount of people we had. I cannot rave about this place enough, absolutely great. We hope to have another party with you guys again. Thank you Insta Party Spot. My daughter had such a great time! Alexandra and Danielle, you both were such a delight to have. We loved that you loved our theme so much and helped guide the flow of the party. We appreciate you both and Andrew + Insta Party Spot family!

As part of homework, my son made us a DELICIOUS meal at home all on his own (salmon, mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli!).

I'm going to do this again and again. This is my happy place…read more I was late. Trying to rush out of work early on a Friday never works. Then there was the traffic on the 101. I was going to miss the meet & greet window and show up in the middle of the first class. Late for class on the first day of school! What a nightmare. The sun was setting as the 33 started twisting and climbing into the hills of beautiful Ojai, and my worries melted away. I arrived at Calliote Canyon and was immediately awed by the property. It's gorgeous--definitive California. Jill greeted me at the door with such warmth, and ushered me to the screen porch where Chef Carol was in the middle of her first lecture of the weekend--herbs. Chef gracefully incorporated me into the lecture with brief introductions and catch-up. Jill magically appeared with a beautiful small plate of nosh and a glass of wine, along with the recipe packet and a pencil for note taking. What traffic? I was at work earlier today? Instantly all the cares and concerns of the real world evaporated from my mind. I needed that more than anything. I felt utterly at ease. And I was learning! I learned so much over the course of that weekend. I found myself taking notes right away, because basically every statement coming out of Chef was kitchen gold. I generally pride myself on 'being a good cook' but man, nothing humbles your kitchen pride like learning from a chef. Chef's experience in kitchens and classrooms makes her the perfect educator in this setting. She lectures with a lovely conversational style, making eye contact and ensuring everyone is together, understanding. During practical work in the kitchen, Chef deftly moves throughout the room, giving tips and correcting techniques. All the while Jill is making sure your every need is met, you have all the tools you need before you realize you even need them, and keeping the fantastic tunes at just the right volume. Jill quite obviously put a great deal of care and attention into every detail of the weekend; she is a great host. There were 4 courses total (including a full real course where we learned stuff and made stuff on Sunday! None of this, just wrap up and say goodbyes by noon--Sunday was a full day). Each course was valuable lecture followed by hands-on kitchen work. We covered an exhaustive amount of information and technique without a trace of exhaustion. We cooked delicious food! We ate delicious food! The settings for each meal were picturesque, the ambiance was ideal. A dozen like-minded people sharing a mutual sense of accomplishment, dining under the stars and amongst the candlelight, getting to know one another over a fabulous meal. There is nothing better! Time slowed down. Wonderful new friendships blossomed. Calm, clarity of mind, relaxation, joie de vivre, happiness; these are my memories of this retreat. I'll do this again and again.

Major KUDOS to DYLAN, one of the amazing staff members at La Fetra. He was consistently checking the trash cans and making sure they weren't over flowing or beginning to look messy. We really appreciate how helpful he was during the whole event. The gentleman was really easy going and nice to all our guests. Not to mention, he worse his mask the ENTIRE event (set up and clean up) and stayed 6ft away at all times! You rock Dylan! Also, special thanks to SHERYL RYAN was our direct point of contact and she made the planning process easy. It was so stressful planning this even but Sheryl reassured us and answered all our questions about the venue and was very transparent with everything overall. Amenities: *Parking: there are about 5 parking spots right behind the venue (in the back facing the baseball field) that allow easy access from the cars to the venue. For example, if you have to bring decor in or other heavy things you cannot carry a long distance. This side parking made it very convenient to clean up the decorations and load cars with the gifts. Also, there is a small parking lot right across the street, just a few feet away from the center. The parking lot was able to accommodate all cars of the guests and no one really had to park on the street. As someone who dislikes street parking with a passion, this was a major plus! *The bathrooms were clean and spacious. There were plenty of stalls and no one had to wait in line (not even the ladies!) *There is a big wide window that overlooks the baseball field and the scenery is so calming and nice to look at. It makes me miss when I used to live nearby in Azusa. Now, time to convince my mom to let me have my graduation party here!

I attended a party Saturday night and was so impressed with this catering company! Everything from…read morethe appetizers to the dessert was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the presentation. I did have the opportunity to speak with Elisabetta who owns the company. She was lovely ,and so joyful as she spoke about her company. I highly recommend hiring Think Italian! Events for your next party.

If I could give Elisabetta 6 stars I would. Our wedding food catering search was very short lived…read more We had our first wedding food tasting with Think Italian Events! and that was the first and last food tasting we had. Immediately after meeting her for our wedding food tasting, she won us over with her traditional home cooked Italian and her kind/motherly personality. She made our food tasting experience so easy; she never once pushed us or put any pressure on us (like most wedding vendors). Once we quickly finalized them to cater our wedding, she was an absolute pleasure to work with; she is organized, responsive, attentive, detail oriented and so incredibly sweet. She is very good about knowing your likes and dislikes and makes sure that you are 100% happy with your decision. We chose her, not only for her sweet demeanor, but her Italian food is top notch authentic ITALIAN. True Italian that tastes like a home cooked meal, which is hands down one of our favorites. Elisabetta did not make us your typical spaghetti and meatballs, she cooks much more! At the wedding, she served delicious bites for the happy hour portion. For the reception we had Veal Saltimbocca, Roasted Wild Caught Salmon, Eggplant Parmigiana, and so much more. Finally for desserts, we forgoed serving cake and instead had a dessert table serving her homemade desserts - Tiramisu bites, Panna Cotta and more paired with a coffee and tea table. We are so impressed and couldn't have chosen a better caterer for our wedding. The food, service, and everything all around was absolutely amazing. I would recommend Think Italian Events! to anyone who needs catering for any party, event, or wedding. We would even love to have Elisabetta come over and cook a homemade meal! Thank you to Elisabetta and crew - you made our wedding experience more than amazing and memorable. It's been a couple months out and we are still hearing about how delicious the food and dessert was. Now THAT is a compliment :)
