Carlos from Elegant Event Decorations & Catering was ABSOLUTELY amazing--he was always courteous and flexible with working with our options, always offering to go above and beyond to make our special day even more special. We bombarded him with a hundred questions and concerns, but he always calmly answered our questions and came up with solutions that immediately put our minds at ease. Carlos is amazing at what he does!!! We honestly couldn't have found a better caterer. Our friends and family loved the dishes that Carlos and Rosa cooked. Wedding planning can be quite a ball of stress for many people, but we've got to give a shout-out to Carlos for making our reception a breeze. We HIGHLY recommend his catering and event planning services. Thank you again, Diana and Carlos!!! God bless!

The property is gorgeous, the package offered comprehensive, and the vibe really made us feel like we'd been transported to Louisiana. It was a pleasure working with Sara, Juliana, and the team throughout the process. We were so grateful to have so many of our vendors included with the venue so we could focus on the details that mattered most to us for the big day. We're so glad we held our wedding at the Sepulveda Home: it's full of character and charm and our guests haven't stopped raving about how wonderful our wedding looked.

Where do I even start with Sara and The Sepulveda Home. If I could dream up my perfect venue and…read morevenue coordinator/owner, it would be Sara and her home! The venue is a home in a residential area close to the San Pedro ports. We had our ceremony and reception there. TG we were able to pivot because we originally booked the Wayfarers Chapel that unfortunately is no longer. Sara made it work for us so that we did not have to completely change our plans. While there are small spaces within the outdoors, it didn't feel too disjointed. It allowed for more pockets of intimacy with your guests. The bar area is so lovely with so much character---well the whole home cas wow it's like you're stepping foot in a movie set. The greenery is kept up in such great condition and when the candle lights come on along with the outdoor fireplace at night, it is pure magic. This venue is not ordinary or cookie cutter. Everything is done up thoughtfully. It's for those that want something a little different but still has all the convenience and professionalism of a bigger venue. We went with food from Chef Dora ---also amazing, and so many styles of foods she makes!! The DJ and bartender was found by Sara as part of our package, and they did not disappoint either. My friends commented on how awesome our DJ was--one of the best they've ever had at a wedding. Sara is probably one of the biggest reasons I went with her venue. Not to say the place isn't pretty cas it is literally made of dreams, but Mama Sara is heaven-sent. She's hilarious first of all. But more importantly, she is who I want to support in this world. She's honest, down to earth, fun, incredibly driven and fierce, and loves her community. She not only makes sure your wedding plans are going well, but that your mental health is still ok too, cas she knows how wedding planning can get. Her communication will come in various forms, but she always checked in on me. And helped me figure things out when something isn't going how we wanted. She does go above and beyond to make sure the couple feels good, secure, is fed, and has fun!!! Even at the end of night til the bitter end helping to pack everything up and out!!! My family loves her. She made wedding planning fun. I already miss her. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again for all of it Sara!!!!

Jules took over halfway and was our main point of contact after. Overall everything panned out as we wanted and Jules was helpful in adding in all the extras that we wanted to make the wedding amazing. Only note, do not leave stuff in the men's get ready room. We had a bottle of whiskey in there and it was straight up taken from the room when we went to have the ceremony so the staff or people know the room code. Besides that everything was flawless. Also, in terms of add ons I totally recommend adding drapes to cover the ugly walls and ceiling drapes as well and that's really all you need to make the wedding beautiful. Also upgrade the basic chairs to mahogany ones at the minimum.

The location is fantastic--just a few blocks from the beach--with five reserved parking spaces right in front. It's a beautiful venue and a wonderful place to celebrate any occasion.

We got our choice of table linens, silverware, table settings, etc. The dining room was elegant and beautiful. We even brought in some framed photos of us for each of the tables, which they took care of. We didn't have to do any of the setup work...or the cleanup work. Score! We had Thai appetizers brought in from a local Thai restaurant, which the caterer plated and served at the cocktail party on the patio immediately after the ceremony.

If you're thinking about getting married in La Venta and can afford it, do it. You won't regret it,…read moremy wife and I wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding day. For starters, everyone was so courteous and professional and amazing from venue touring to communications to actual wedding day. No stone was left unturned so everything went perfectly. First, let's talk actual venue space, it's a historic inn that overlooks the beaches and ocean and it's a gorgeous sight to behold. When you enter, you are introduced to a beautiful patio with a fountain and plenty of plant life. The ceremony happens outside while the reception happens indoors with a nice cozy ballroom space and more spacious dining area. For our guest count of 125, we fit comfortably despite being a little crowded. For food, it's arguably the best wedding food you can get. Ask any of our guests! For tray pass options, we went with ahi tuna tacos, mini quiches, crab cakes, and a charcuterie station. We opted for a brunch wedding and people loved the gnocchi station, waffle and protein station, prime rib, and acai/parfait station. I think it's safe to say that our guests hadn't experienced wedding food like La Venta before and they absolutely loved how good the food was! Now, the wedding day. It was absolutely magical with the flowers, the music, the weather, the views, the food. And all of this would not have been possible without the vendors that we had with La Venta. For your reference, we used Blush Events for the coordinator, Noon Flower Shop for flowers, Credo for makeup, Madebymeg catering for food, King's Hawaiian for cake, Vox DJ for emcee/DJ, and Madeforyou for signage. If you want a wedding in PV, La Venta is probably the BEST option without being outrageously expensive. I know we'd do it all over again with them, but hopefully I don't need to get married again!

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my daughter's first birthday at the Plaza at Cabrillo…read moreMarina last weekend. We utilized both the hall and the lawn. I wanted a venue that had the option of having an indoor space just in case weather did not permit for an outdoor dining space. Suffice it to say, it was a great decision to go with the Plaza at a Cabrillo Marina because we were able to easily change our dining into the hall. Henry is one of the best venue operators you will ever work with. He answered all of our questions and gave us suggestions to make my daughter's birthday a success. I loved that this venue was a blank canvas that we can make our own. The amount of space in the hall was sufficient and the outdoor space can accommodate hundreds of guests. They have their own tables and chairs but since we had a specific theme we were going for, we brought in our own rentals. Many of the rental companies around the area have serviced events at the venue and are very familiar with the weather and wind factor. If not, Henry is such a great resource that can answer all of your questions. There is also so much free parking at this venue. It was such a huge plus for us because a lot of our guests have been used to events where they needed to pay for parking or park far away to get free parking space. Also, you will have the venue from 8am-12am which gives you so much flexibility and time for your event set-up and clean-up. I cannot recommend this venue enough!
