10/10 - Highly Recommend! We can't begin to thank Adina enough for coming to our rescue and saving our intimate wedding reception. As an event producer, I'm incredibly detail-oriented and particular about who I choose for my events -- let alone my own wedding. My now-husband and I decided on a destination wedding in Laguna Beach, CA, and were planning everything from Texas. Just a few weeks before our wedding, our reception venue fell through due to logistical limitations. I was desperate. I quickly started researching online and found Adina on Yelp with multiple 5-star reviews. I gave her a call, shared our situation, and she instantly problem-solved -- her and her team came to our rescue. From start to finish, the level of excellence, prompt communication, professionalism, positivity, and ease took the stress completely off our shoulders. Not only did we find a beautiful new venue through her that exceeded our expectations, but she also exceeded them through her beautiful event design, delicious catering, detailed coordination, friendly staff, and talented photographer and videographer. She even honored my Filipino culture and included lumpia as one of the passed-out appetizers. How thoughtful! We received a ton of compliments from our guests about how impressed they were with everything--and so were we. She took our vision and exceeded it in every area. One of the highlights of our wedding reception was the stunning serpentine table with a romantic rose and candle vase runner draped with chiffon fabric. When I tell you this was truly the intimate wedding dinner party of my dreams, it really was. If you are looking for a seamless experience with a highly experienced wedding/event production company, do yourself a favor and contact Adina. You won't regret it--totally worth the investment! Adina, Darien and I can't thank you enough -- From one event producer to another...you are truly the best of the best in your industry! read more

If you want the most amazing and beautiful wedding in San Clemente then book the gray matter museum!! My husband and I just got married here the past weekend and had the best day of our lives with family and friends. The event coordinator Adina and staff were amazing and made the day so beautiful, organized and fun. Wedding planning is stressful, but Adina helped coordinate with all their vendors based off my style and budget and get us exactly what we wanted and more. Adina and her staff made our wedding more beautiful than we could of ever imagined. She is so experienced and friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better event coordinator to work with! Our guests were shocked at how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. It was truly the best day ever and I can't recommend enough booking with The Event Set for your wedding or event. -Kayla read more

My husband and I had such a wonderful wedding at Gray Matter Museum of Art, with everything coordinated perfectly by The Event Set! We got married 7 months after our engagement, and during this time, friends and family would question how we weren't stressed about planning everything in a relatively short amount of time. It really is because of the wonderful Event Set team!  Adina, the principal planner, was so awesome to work with. She really made our vision come to life and was accommodating with any requests we had (memorial table, boba station, photo booth, etc). What we really loved about this venue is that it is pretty much all inclusive - the flowers, DJ, photographer, food, cake, and day-of coordinators are all through The Event Set! All we really had to worry about was hair/makeup, favors, and any special decor/signage. Kelly was also such a lifesaver on the day of; she made sure my husband and I had food and water between our photos getting taken, helped bustle up my dress when the reception started, and prepped plates of food and some drinks for us to have at our sweetheart table. Kelly and Adina were both available and attentive our whole night! Special shout out to Shane and Julio, the photographers who took their time creating the perfect shots throughout the evening!  We could not have asked for a better wedding. It went so smoothly, it was stress-free, and each of our guests had such a great time! Thank you to The Event Set and Gray Matter Museum of Art! read more

Where do I even begin?! Adina gave my husband and I the wedding of our DREAMS! Let me back track and tell you how amazing Adina and her team are.. My now husband proposed to me in February 2020 and I went straight into wedding planning! We had originally booked a venue (not related to The Event Set) and paid a deposit, then one month later, the pandemic happened. My husband and I patiently waited a few months to see how the pandemic would affect our wedding plans but the situation only got worse. State mandates prevented us from having any indoor wedding over 100+ guests and the place refused to change our date or give us our deposit back :( Enter... ADINA! I found Adina by yelping other wedding venue's to see if I could find a new place and came across her company The Event Set! From the moment Adina texted me, I loved her personality and knew we would get along. She looked at our old contract and matched everything + more! I loved working with The Event Set because it's like a one-stop shop for all things wedding related. Not only do they find you the perfect venue but they curate the catering, alcohol/beverages, florals, all rentals (tables, chairs, dance floor, lighting), Photo Booth, photographers, videographers, and more. Though most of our vendors were already booked, Adina made everything else smooth and easy for me. She worked with my month of wedding planner seamlessly. Together they worked their magic and gave us the wedding of our dreams. We even had a little hiccup. When we contracted with The Event Set, they had found a beautiful estate for our wedding. We loved it and we were so excited! Unfortunately, a year before our wedding the estate became unavailable. Adina THEN found us an even more luxurious estate that I didn't know was possible! 2 1/2 years of planning later, my husband and I finally got married at The Vineyard Estate. It was the most perfect day. The estate was dreamy and our guests continue to tell us how beautiful it was. We had the indoor "guest house" that comfortably fit 160+ guests with a bridge leading to a scenic view. We mostly used the indoor guest house for cocktail hour since our wedding fell on a heatwave (go figure). After cocktail hour, we celebrated the rest of the day outdoors surrounding the gorgeous pool with views of the Santiago hills. Our family & friends had the time of their lives and I tear up thinking about how beautiful our day was. The rest of the team were awesome! Kelly (also part of The Event Set team) was an angel! She made sure I was well hydrated and relaxed, always asking me if I needed anything. She made me feel like a celebrity! She was such a sweetheart. The Event Set also provided our guests with valet shuttles to and from Santiago Canyon College since parking at the estate was limited. Catering was delicious! We opted for asian cuisine with 2 hors d'oevres, a 7 course meal, and late night dessert bites. As the B&G, I didn't get a chance to eat much but our guests mentioned how good the food was. The bartenders were a hit! We managed an open bar the entire night and our guests loved the drinks. Florals were gorgeous! We did a white & gold dance floor with our initials also provided by The Event Set. Honestly we didn't need much to decorate because the place speaks for itself. I didn't think writing this review would make me nostalgic but here I am fighting my tears because I miss our perfect day. If you're reading this review and thinking about hiring The Event Set for your future event - this is your sign to do it! Trust me, you will not regret it! As for Adina and The Event Set team - thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams. read more

I had my wedding at the Gray Matter museum. The event set and the whole staff made my day perfect! I originally was going to have the reception on the lawn and it started pouring and the whole staff moved the whole set up inside. All the chairs for the ceremony got wet and right before the ceremony they wiped down every chair. Marie made sure my day was perfect for me. Our photographer Shane was awesome! He made sure he got all the right photos with the right lighting. Our DJ Joey C played the music we wanted plus some other great dancing music. The whole night Marie and Kelly kept making sure I have eaten, I drank water, made sure I had a drink if I needed one and I could not be more thankful for them! read more

Truly the best group of event coordinators you can find! Adina and her team put together our wedding and it could not have been more perfect. It was personalized and was so special to have our wedding feel like it was so us. From planning leading up to the day to every small detail day of, we enjoyed working with the Event Set throughout. On our wedding day, Kelley made sure we tried all the food and we got to enjoy every moment of the day. Cannot thank the Event Set enough for making our wedding a dream come true! read more

The Event Set hosted us for our event at the Gray Matter Museum of Art. Adina was very attentive to our needs, wants and budget, and helped to plan a perfect evening for our team. The view from Gray Matter was the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. The food and drink package was perfectly prepared and the staff were excellent. Overall a fantastic team, venue and experience for our Cirque du Soleil event. 100% Recommend. read more

This review is a long time coming but very well deserved. We had been on the search for a venue for some time and had looked at quite a few before we ended up going with The Event Set at their San Clemente Gray Matter Museum of Art location back in April of this year. From the very first time we met Adina, everything felt so natural and genuine, and we're so thankful that we were able to have her guide the process for setting up our most important day. She made sure to take all our crazy ideas into consideration as well as keep both of us involved every step of the way. Although we had a very short turnaround from when we found The Event Set to the day of the wedding, they still were able to put everything together without a hitch. Adina took care of finding the florist, the cooks, all the decorations, the DJ, and even any specialty request that we had for our ceremony. She was consistently available, truly listened, and added such a wonderful personality that truly made what can be a very stressful experience, honestly joyful. She and her team put together a ceremony and reception better than we could have hoped for and worked so hard to make our day perfect. We felt lucky the day we found her and The Event Set, and we're just so very grateful for how special and wonderful they made our day. Thanks Adina! read more

Like so many couples, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. And in the time we postponed, we ended up reducing our guest list and had to essentially start from the beginning and re-plan our entire wedding. Additionally, we welcomed a son! By the time we were able to discuss planning our event, my hands were so full I wasn't able to fully give planning my full attention. When we had our first planning session after COVID, I told our (amazing) planner Adina that I wanted a unique event, something small and intimate for just our closest family and friends. I wanted my guests to have fun with the food & beverages and I wanted them to relax. And with that, I let her truly be creative with my wedding. I was absolutely blown away. Throughout the entire day, I was greeted with little surprises. Looking back, the entire day was just in a daze because everything was just perfect. She took the time to really get to know my husband and I and represent us throughout the day. There were sprinklings of our personality throughout the entire event. For starters, they found us a beautiful private estate perfect for our guest count. And upon arrival, our guests were all greeted with a custom cocktail inspired by one of our favorite summer vacations. Instead of a formal dining service, which I found to be stuffy, immediately after the ceremony, we were treated to 10 rounds of custom hors-devours that were all made by their private chef we had for the day while we got to spend all of that time visiting with our guests and dancing! The team heard that we weren't fans of wedding cake. So they surprised us by bringing an ice-cream cart and it was a huge hit with our families! The best part was their attention to my nut allergy. I have a severe nut allergy and they made certain that every single thing on the menu, behind the bar, and in the ice cream cart was completely without nuts so that I could actually relax and eat as much as I wanted without regard for my allergy (a first for me!). And as a favorite detail, the flowers were just stunning. My bouquet was perfection. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I had two coordinators, Aris and Kelly. I never had to think about the timeline or where we were or if we were on time because they were so diligent about graciously ushering me to wherever I needed to go. The photographer did amazing and the photos came out perfect. The bartender and bar assistant made sure I always had a fresh drink in hand. And all of the servers were super good at making sure every one of my guests had plenty to eat. All of our guests left full and all of them spoke about what a wonderful and relaxing time they had. The Event Set team, Adina, and all of the amazing people with them made our day something we will cherish and talk about for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful, we wouldn't have done it any other way. read more

My husband and I couldn't be happier with having the Event Set host our wedding!! We got married at the Ocean Terrace in San Clemente in May 2024 and had our ceremony inside the beautiful chapel and reception outside on the ocean view terrace. It was nice to have a company that was all inclusive with vendors since we planned our wedding in about 4 months. I worked mainly with the coordinator, Stephanie and she was amazing. I sent her pictures of different bouquets, styles, and etc that I liked in order to give her an idea of what to create. I was blown away with how beautifully the wedding came together. I LOVED the flower bouquets and arrangements. We chose not to do a tasting of the food and desserts and were also very happy! The cake that they created was the prettiest wedding cake and tasted really good too! We loved the charcuterie board appetizers! Another highlight was the photographer Trisha who the Event Set paired us with. I am so happy with the quality of the photos. I had a shorter veil that I wore to the reception but later realized that it was a different shade of white than my dress; Trisha edited it to the same shade! Our friends and family rave about how great all the pics look. She captured our special day perfectly and was so nice to work with. The DJ was great too and communicated well with my cousin who sang at our reception and ceremony. I recommend the photo booth too! Thank you Stephanie and Adina for going above and beyond to host our wedding!! read more
