To the owner, thank you for bringing my vision to life with such incredible talent and creativity. You have an amazing gift, and every detail reflected exactly what I had envisioned somehow even better than I imagined. Your passion and talent truly shine through, and I am so grateful for everything you created for my special day. A very special thank you to Ricardo. You were so much more than a coordinator you truly felt like a friend throughout this entire journey. Your excitement for me was genuine, your attention to every detail never went unnoticed, and you always went above and beyond to make sure my day was everything I dreamed it would be. You made me feel supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way. Your kindness, patience, and dedication helped make the planning process enjoyable and stress-free, and on the big day, you absolutely delivered. Thank you both for making one of the most meaningful days of my life so unforgettable. Your hard work, talent, and genuine care created memories that I will cherish forever. I cannot recommend you enough to anyone looking for a team that truly pours their heart into what they do. Thank you for making my dream come true!

We recently had our event here, and overall, we had a good experience. We were especially lucky to…read morebe partnered with the BEST wedding coordinator, Ricardo. He truly went above and beyond to make sure our event was everything we wanted it to be. I had multiple guests come up to me throughout the event to compliment him and tell me what an amazing job he was doing. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. That being said, I do feel that communication could really use some improvement. It was often difficult to get answers to simple questions. There were times when days, and even weeks, would go by without receiving a response to messages I had sent. I often had to send the same message multiple times before getting an answer. It also felt like I would receive a response more quickly from the owner whenever I mentioned potentially adding an additional service to my package. When I did receive responses from the owner, they often focused on whether I wanted to add a particular service to my package, which sometimes came across as more of a sales opportunity than an effort to answer my questions. Because of this, I eventually felt discouraged from reaching out with questions directly. I also feel that some of the staff could benefit from additional training, particularly when it comes to professionalism and customer service. There was an older gentleman on-site who was rude to multiple guests, including both my husband's parents and my parents, which was disappointing and not something you want to hear. (Safe to say we were both upset hearing about that during the event) The lead bartender was also very rude to my husband. Her communication was unprofessional, and several of the responses we received from her were confusing and left us questioning whether we were communicating with someone who understood the responsibilities of their role. She also seemed to have very little knowledge about the details of our event, and it did not appear that there was much communication between her and the owner. Thankfully, I sent a confirmation text a few days before the event because that was apparently the only way she became aware that we were having a cocktail hour. There were also a few details with the décor that were disappointing. Some decorative elements were added to the tables even though we had specifically discussed a few days before the event that we did not want those elements included. Despite these issues, the venue itself was absolutely stunning, and Ricardo was truly exceptional. His hard work, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made a huge difference in our experience. I just hope the venue takes the other feedback seriously, as improving communication and staff training would make an already beautiful venue an even better experience for future couples.

They set it all up and cleaned up everything we just had to take our personal items. The bar was staffed with a bartender from the beginning to the end of our party. We of course supply the liquor, but they supply the bartender. He was great. The setup and their venue is absolutely beautiful very unassuming outside but once you get in, wow! My mom's party was epic and it went off without a hitch. Our guests were amazed at the set up and the venue were absolutely gorgeous. Shout out to Mistik Banquets, Lulu and her whole staff, including the bartender and security guard chef's kiss!

THANK YOU BONNIE & TEAM FOR THE BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!! I will start this review off by saying…read morethat I photograph weddings, so having a gorgeous scenic spot to marry my boyfriend/fiancé of 11 years was the #1 on our list and The Pond (+ the overcast weather haha) DELIVERED. And the #2 thing on the list was having a variety of backdrops to photograph against which we also found here no question. We first toured The Pond and met with Bonnie (the owner) back in September 2022. We had already toured 5 other venues and this ended up being our second to last tour and last day of touring. The second I stepped on the premise I knew we had found our place. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and well taken care of. The pond is also full of bright koi fish and other cute little friends like ducks walk around. I felt like we were already late in booking a 2023 date, but to our luck they had May 5, 2023 open which was also 11th anniversary! Easy and done. This hidden gem venue has charm and is the most unique and scenic venue I've ever been to. The main selling points for us in addition to the views were: 1. Full Bridal and Groom houses to relax and get ready in. We each had 8 bridesmaids and groomsmen + our family so it was very important to us that we could find a place that could accommodate our large party to get ready in. They also have separate parking for the wedding party right next to the Bridal/Groom houses and another larger parking lot for guests which is also free for them 2. Fun and unique areas for all of our guests to spread out and explore. Including the gazebo overlooking the pond, fire pit (for s'mores), and cove underneath the gazebo to experience a waterfall. There was also a ton of space for all our vendors to set up including a Boba Table and Photobooth 3. Affordable price that included 1 hour rehearsal the day before, 10 hours on the premise for the wedding, and our package also included the DJ and Bartender team. This was great because those vendors are already used to working with Bonnie's team and DJ Richie killed our lighting throughout the venue as well! They also set up heat lamps for us when it got colder at night 4. DIY everything! I have been looking forward to planning my wedding my whole life and had a lot of decoration and vendor ideas. Bonnie and our Coordinator team (YourDayYourWay) helped make all our ideas and plans come to life and were gracious about accommodating everything we asked for including keeping the sails down in the ceremony space for our photos, letting us do special cups for boba, and letting us choose our catering (5 Elementos Food Truck). The whole event was 100% customized by us and this was so cool since I know a lot of venues have strict rules they never bend. And for anyone who may be deterred reading this because they don't want to DIY everything, I promise the venue still looks great just as it is even without all the extra stuff. Seriously! 5. They allow sparkler exits! Not many venues in CA allow this and I was stoked they had the perfect spot for it If you happen to stumble upon my review and are wondering if you should book The Pond for your next event/wedding, just do it! :D
