    First dance in the clouds with sparklers

    My wedding was 8 days ago. I'm still on cloud 9. It was truly a magical day. Everyone at VASA has been professional, accommodating and soo friendly. I can't say enough good things about this place and the staff. All my guests had a great time. I received soo many compliments. Food, cake, music, decor, valet parking, bartender's etc. The list just goes on and on. Thank you for the great experience for my wedding day. You will forever be in our memories.

    Beautiful venue and would 100% recommend! Having both Indoor and outdoor sections at the same venue is a great option for weddings! This place has great bang for your buck too! Their staff was helpful and friendly. They included a DJ, catering, set up and tear down staff, and a wedding planner. Having all of this included took a lot of wedding planning stress away and made the whole process very easy! The venue is also very updated, clean and beautiful.

    Highly recommend VASA for your next event‼ Valerie, Martha and the entire VASA staff are friendly, professional and have great communication skills. I was lucky enough to be the DJ for the first time wedding and event in 2022 on New Year's Day for Mr. & Mrs. Liquor Store Mike. The venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces, it's own sound system and custom lighting system, dance floor, dedicated bar, rustic tables, greener decor, and crystal chandeliers, DJ booth and more! I can't wait to DJ here again in 2022

    VASA venue is as gorgeous and inviting as are their staff! They helped plan my daughters quinceañera in under 4 months! They were super accommodating, always tried to ease my anxiety, and were ever so responsive. Valerie and Martha were so so helpful from the very first day I met them. Their patience is unmatched. It will Forever be a night to remember! Our guests had nothing but good things to say. Thank you so much to all the Vasa Staff and vendors!

    Wow, where do I even start?! My husband and I booked with Vasa (previously known as Factory of Dreams) back in 2017 for our wedding because we wanted our special day to be on our 10-year anniversary (10/10/2020). Not surprisingly, the venue was hesitant to book that far in advance. However, my husband and I had a feeling it would be a popular date (and it sure was), so we really pushed for it. Martha and Valerie, our coordinators, were kind enough to reserve the date for us. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we had to postpone the wedding to another year (10/09/2021), but the wait was well worth it, and we had an amazing time. Martha and Valerie were on top of everything from the start! They were so professional and wonderful to work with. They also have such a great team who captured what we envisioned. We loved how the venue provided their own DJ, coordinators, decorators, cooks, and a baker for our cake. The venue also provides their own photo booth, and a beautiful ceremony area right outside. It made our lives so easy. We received so many compliments from our guests telling us it was a beautiful wedding, and even one of the most fun they have attended! The whole experience with Vasa was great. My husband and I are so grateful for the treatment we received, and we would definitely recommend Vasa for anyone and any occasion.

    Excellent customer service! Martha and Valerie worked with me on planning my daughters sweet 16 (turned into a 17) for 2 years. We rescheduled several times due to covid but these ladies where always helpful and very understanding. The DJ was also great. He made a point to introduce himself and made sure we had music we wanted. Beautiful venue and great staff.

    My husband and I had the most beautiful wedding at this venue. Valerie and Martha were extremely helpful and two amazing angels who made sure everything went perfect. We booked pre COVID and throughout the pandemic both were responsive, helpful and reassuring that our event would continue even if we had to reschedule; which we had to because of the county guidelines. This was a beautiful and stress free experience for us, thank you Valerie, Martha and your entire team for the wedding of our dreams. Urbina's

    I don't even know where to begin, VASA was a positive experience from start to end. My tour began with Oscar who was an easy going guy who showed us the venue and worked with our budget to get us started, when contracts were signed I was given a date for the food tasting via email and so began the journey. The venue was all inclusive with the exception of Photographer, Cake (although they offered a faux cake), BYO Beer and obviously your dress and suit. If you are on a tight budget this place is a great choice, it is already beautiful so it required little to no decoration on my end, and the bring your own beer aspect was a great way to save money too because if you are planning a wedding you know everything is incredibly over charged including alcohol packages. Along the way any time I sent an email with a question I had a return phone call within the hour by Carlo, he was great at making me feel acknowledged and reassured, giving me advice from his years of experience and previous events. When the food tasting happened I didn't know what to expect, They let me bring 2 other people along obviously I brought my future husband and my maid of honor. To tell you the food was Exquisite is an understatement, we were given 5 main entrees to pick from and 4 salads as appetizer choices. We picked the chicken chipotle with mixed veggies and rice pilaf () this was one of the most complimented thing about our wedding. After the food tasting was the meeting to discuss table set up and decor choices, we met with our assigned coordinator provided by the venue, she had set up various tables so we could see different ideas with different settings, we chose our color napkins table florals and isle decor. In that same meeting we finalized the food choice and with that we were basically set, a few weeks before the wedding we had a phone meeting to discuss the program and a meeting with the provided DJ to discuss music and sets, five days before the wedding I received a phone call by a coordinator by the name of Daniela letting us know that in a sudden change the assigned coordinator I had was no longer available and that she was taking over our big day, Obviously my blood ran cold and in true bride fashion I panicked. We were on the phone for about an hour and we went down a list of every single last detail including some last touches, she sent pictures of set ups that she felt would fit the wedding better and made changes my overly involved fiance wanted, I was still nervous but Daniela had this positive energy about her that by the end of the call I felt calm and confident everything would work out. I got married on a Sunday and the Thursday before the wedding we had a rehearsal dinner where I met Daniela and her husband Tony in person for the first time, they swiftly directed my unruly bridal party we ran it through a couple times and they listen to all my comments on decor changes and set ups for the Big Day. Sunday finally arrived and the wedding day was in full motion, When I arrived to the venue everything was already set up they coordinated with the cake decorator for drop off and all that was left was for guests to arrive. Daniela was with me every step of the way she fluffed my dress as I was about to walk down the aisle and Tony executed a smooth cocktail hour after. During the reception Daniela was on top of everything, keeping to a schedule and moving things along, keeping me updated the whole time. She also ensured there was time for my now husband and I to eat which everyone knows rarely happens, Tony kept a drink in our hands the whole night whether it be water or margaritas and both were constantly checking to see we were okay. After the wedding the staff gathered all of our stuff together and loaded it into our cars and with that we were done. The few hiccups that occurred during the wedding as they do at any event of this kind, the staff made sure we didn't have to stress about it and kept us calm cool and collected. All I can really say is wow. We are so grateful for all the staff's hard work and the patience and positive energy throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this Venue and I hope this review can give everyone a clear inside look at what you get when you book with them, Once again a Shout Out to Oscar, Carlo, Daniela, Tony and Estephania for your wonderful work.

    Having a quinceañera at Vasa was a very special experience, I would like to thank the staff for an amazing communication between each other making this day so memorable and special. Carlo was great at communicating and answering every question we had about the venue. Edgar was amazing and very helpful making the set up beautiful. Michelle the event coordinator was very king and well organized making the night to run smoothly. This venue is so beautiful, the Rose Garden where the ceremony took place is very elegant and sophisticated I loved the way they managed the ceremony following with the cocktail hour, music was amazing Stephania was the dj of our event and she played the music I requested for my daughter and was communicating with me about what we wanted, the music was so good everyone had a lot fun.Father Gianni made ceremony so inspirational for my daughter and the photographer Angel Felix was amazing and very professional, so creative I really recommend him. choreographer Rosa Velez did an amazing job with the waltz , and baile sorpresa, My daughter and her court had and amazing time. I want to thank each one of them for making this day so special to her. I highly recommend Vasa thumbs up for the owners Vicky and her husband they treated us so good.

The fee for the lesson and party is $15, for party only - $10. The announcement (https://www.queenbeessd.com/swign-dance) places the lesson at 6:30-7:30PM, the dance with DJ music is supposed to start at 7:30PM. On the day of my visit, the times were shifted by half an hour, so if you want to just dance, 8PM is the good time. The dance lesson by Mercedes Moore (yes, the great San Diego singer!) is excellent, most of the 20+ dancers appeared to be regulars and thus had accumulated significant amount of skill, yet due to small size of group, a true beginner should feel OK. Unlike most places in San Diego, this one has noticeably more leads (traditionally men) than follows (women), so this venue might be great for a true beginner follower. During the social party few more dancers appeared, but the group remained pretty small, and by 9PM it became hard to find a dance partner (the music was still going on). Some logistics: the free (street) parking is very limited. The best paid parking is across the street in a well-lit parking lot ($5 for two hours). The wooden floor is of OK quality, the seating is adequate for the small crowd. As always for small gatherings, bringing one's own dance partner is recommended, although on the day I have visited, it was easy for follows to find a lead. Overall: a true beginner follow should definitely check out this venue. An intermediate lead that wants just to dance, should consider bringing his own follower.

A few friends and I decided to try it out after work on a weeknight. Ambiance: the decor and set up here is very appealing and comes off as high end. I'm probably completely wrong, but I feel like the building was originally a warehouse that they converted into a full restaurant. There is an abundance of open space in the dining area, a section for the bar, and seating outside in the front patio. Surprisingly (and pleasantly), it seemed like a slower night as we were one of the few parties in, but I'm sure on other nights and as word picks up it is much busier. Service: we wanted to take advantage of the sunset so we sat outside in the patio area. Our server did a good job of getting our orders in, and had a good balance of checking in but not at a rate that was disruptive. He also made good conversation and had a story of moving to SD recently. Food & Drink: I didn't order the food so I can't speak on it, but my friends ordered three entrees and a side dish of fries. I had two glasses of wine and they were quite good and suited the vibe. Summary: this wasn't a super helpful review since I didn't have the food, but we had a great experience at Meraki. Drinks were good, ambiance was comforting, and service was fantastic. I definitely will give this place another try so I can give a full update on my review next time.
