    OMGGG AMAZING !! we had the most AMAZING experience at this venue, and absolutely recommending others here. The owner was very attentive that we were stress free at his venue which was a super big weight lifted from our shoulders. Super responsive and very much like a friend !! This venue was beautiful and i just can NOT get over it!! I LOVED IT !!

    Best day of my Life!

    Avana Venue is the best venue for a bride. I was treated with respect , dignity and care even when bridezilla was taking over. Shahen always spoke to me in a kind tone of voice with sweet words to always keep me calm and confident about my wedding. He picked up my phone calls anytime I called and at times I was texting him at midnight because I remembered details I needed him to coordinate. I highly recommend Avana Venue for all your event needs, from birthdays , bridal showers and especially the best day of your life, the wedding!!! May I add that the lighting is beautiful The food is delicious and The staff helping is very accommodating Thank you, best night of my life! Thank you thank you thank you

    This venue has it all - from the management, to the staff, elegant ambience and let's not forget the food. Kevin and Sean are the best! They provided us with great service, great food and everybody had a great time. I'm so glad we found this new gem in the Valley. We will definitely be back - that's for sure!

    Inside hall very nice ambiance

    Great hall for events, weddings and gatherings. Food was fantastic and excellent service. Staff were very attentive.

    See all

    Not enough words to truly thank Chabeli and the PS Plans team enough for making our wedding…read moreINCREDIBLE, so I will just share the email we sent them after the best weekend of our lives!!! "We wanted to say another enormous THANK YOU for making our wedding weekend the most perfect, seamless, and beautiful celebration. Going into the weekend, we already had such high expectations just having seen the amount of effort and attention that you all had put in for the planning portion- everything from florals to Taco Bell. And despite being advised by so many to stay present and ignore the things that don't go perfectly, and having Chabeli reiterate to us that come Thursday we shouldn't worry about a thing, I don't think either of us really expected to spend the entire weekend so focused on each other, on our family and friends, and on the absolute magic that you all orchestrated so flawlessly. It's safe to say our expectations were blown out the water of Lake Alisal, through the garland-covered Atrium, and launched into the starry Santa Ynez skies. We knew we were in safe hands with Chabeli from the very beginning, and then when we finally got to meet the rest of you in front of Jackson house, we were reassured that everything was going to be great. Brianna, Jeannine, Juliana, Sheena- you are all so warm and professional and clearly love what you do. We're sure there were countless moments of stress for all of you throughout the weekend, but we can honestly say that we did not notice a single one of them, and every time that we looked over at one of you, there was a smile. Chabeli, our fearless leader! Thank you for putting up with all of our incessant questions over the last year. If we had a dollar for every time we asked you "well what do you think, Chabeli?" we could probably pay for the entire wedding. We trusted you throughout the whole process, and given the way that Atrium turned out, we are so glad that we did (can't believe we were even considering saying no to that). But seriously, you're truly the best in the biz and we couldn't have done it without you. We'll be singing your praises to friends, family, and random strangers on the street for the rest of time! Can't thank you all enough - we are so grateful Best, Dean & Em PS (plans)- we are not missing a single thing from the weekend. You all even packed up Emily's bouquet and it's still looking radiant, soaking up some well-earned water in our dining room. Thank you for everything"

    I cannot say enough great things about Chabeli and her team. From start to finish, this process…read moreexceeded my husband and I's expectations. Not only was Chabeli wildly prepared at every turn, she was efficient, creative, passionate, and most of all she was on board with our vision and did everything in her power to make it come to life. Each and every one of the vendors she recommended were so spot on. Her list of connections and friendships with people in this industry speaks volumes about how professional she is but also how kind and supportive she is. All the vendors love her and we can see why. Our wedding was truly the most perfect day, not one hiccup, not one detail was overlooked, and almost everyone who attended is still talking to us about how this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. My parents are extremely harsh critics and they said this was the most beautifully put together and well thought out event they had ever seen. Chabeli was able to get to know my husband and I and immediately she felt like a fierce friend in our corner guiding us through the wild wild wedding west and we are beyond grateful for her expertise, her wisdom, and her guidance. We are forever PS Plans fans and any other party we need to throw or anniversary get together we'll have in the future, we will always choose Chabeli. Forever grateful!

We had already done all the footwork, booked vendors, had the timeline done and sent to vendors, planned, etc.... EVERYTHING was done! We were trying so hard to find a place that understood the situation and that we didn't need an over all planner/coordinator but a day-of coordinator. Lily from Orange Blossom stepped up to the plate and did a phenomenal job!! She understood that we just needed someone there the day of and she never once overstepped or made us feel stressed. She followed our wishes perfectly and made sure our timeline was fulfilled to a T! Lily is extremely professional, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond on the day and made sure nothing went wrong!! We greatly appreciate Lily for taking us on as clients and being so easygoing, organized and kind! I also want to stress that Orange Blossom and Lily were kind enough to give us a discount since we had already done all the footwork! They didn't feel it was morally right to charge us for an overall planner/coordinator. It's rare (especially in the wedding industry) to find people with such great morals, integrity and kindness. But Lily and Orange Blossom are full of that! Thank you so much for all of your help, Lily! We appreciate you so much!! She deserves a raise and all the flowers. She's truly the best!

    Even though our wedding plans ended up shifting directions, I still want to shout out the…read moreincredible team at The Wedding Planner LA--especially Dominique and Alexa. We originally hired them for day-of coordination, and Dominique was so sweet, responsive, and kind to work with. When our original venue cancelled, she immediately looped in Alexa, who reached out personally and spent nearly two hours on the phone with me--talking me through next steps, brainstorming ideas, and offering so much emotional support. That call meant the world to me during what was an incredibly stressful time. Alexa's calm, reassuring energy and genuine desire to help made me feel like we could handle anything. It's clear that this team cares deeply about their couples and goes above and beyond, even when things go off-script. I'd absolutely recommend working with them--you'll be in great hands!!! Love this team!

    We got off to a very poor start with being swapped between three planners, and having to reach out…read moreseveral times to get it sorted out. I understand you had some staffing issues, but it's not right that we didn't have a coordinator until 2 and a half weeks prior to the wedding when we paid for a month of coordinator. Ultimately, we were given someone at 2 and a half weeks until the wedding on May 13th, and I don't think she was fully prepared for our day. We felt skeptical at this point, but it was too late to try and find a new coordinator and had to see it through. On our rehearsal day, Shannon was not able to direct our crowd, and instead left it up to us and our Wedding party to get everyone's attention and direct them with what she needed us to do. I understand the rehearsal is not supposed to be fun, but making me run my rehearsal isn't right. Throughout the wedding day, not only us but several people that were a part of the wedding were disappointed in the service we received. It started out with Shannon standing on the grounds, making it a point that she was not on the clock and would not answer any questions. Although he didn't have any questions for her, the Father of the Bride was told this by Shannon. I understand not being on the clock, but he wasn't going to ask anything, she was in the venue, and the rude comment was not needed. After the ceremony, there was an issue with the pizza truck being late. Shannon brought this to the Mother of the Bride's attention, and the MOB immediately called the pizza truck to resolve the issue. When she got in touch with them, the pizza company seemed confused. They said she had called once, not left a message, and brought it to the MOB to deal with. They also said they had received no confirmation call the day before our wedding just to double check that everything was still okay, which according to them, is common practice. When we were being introduced to the reception, Shannon completely forgot to arrange an introduction for the wedding party. We clearly had this on our timeline, and it was our MC that had to tell us that it was missed, and show on our timeline that it was there. All she said was that it wasn't on her schedule. We then had to send someone to gather everyone from the wedding party that was in their seats to come back for their introduction, while she did nothing. During cocktail hour, the DJ's speaker somehow stopped working. Shannon did not notice this, and instead I had to leave taking pictures to go find the DJ and get him to fix it. During dinner, we patiently waited as 4 tables went by to get their food, while we still had nothing in front of us. We had discussed Shannon grabbing us food before anyone else went to serve themselves, and eventually she did after we sat there and waited with no sight of her. During the dinner hour, the time for toasts was approaching. She let the Father of the Bride know we had 10 minutes until he started his speech, to which he pointed out that the champagne glasses for toasts had not been poured. We had discussed that the bartenders were going to be pouring champagne for everyone, but as the wedding coordinator you have to be the one to let them know when to start. The reply she gave to that comment was "well the bar service doesn't usually do that", even though we had discussed it in our meetings. Moving on in the night, the desert plates that were packed in the box labeled "Desert Box", were never put on the desert table. People were walking around with cannoli's and cake using napkins to hold it. In the same subject of missed items, she never handed out the bubble guns that we had packed in the "Grand exit" box. Somehow the small bubbles got handed out, and they were in the same box. For the cake cutting, the cake was left in the fridge right up until we were supposed to cut the cake. It was nearly frozen, making it nearly impossible to cut through. Throughout the night, it was noted by not only us but several guests that the assistants were off property on their phones. There was plenty to be done the entire night, and is a bad look when they were on the clock for something we were paying good money for. Overall, the team that you sent did not adequately handle our night how we expected for what we paid and the glowing reviews you have. I know you are someone that loves their business, and I hope you understand that this is not the level of service expected from a coordination team. We sent all of this information to the company, and they took no responsibility for any of the issues we had, but instead had an excuse for everything. If you want a Wedding where you feel the stress is truly taken off your shoulders, I would not recommend hiring this company.

    Working with Courtney Haynes from One Sweet Day Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions we…read moremade for our wedding. I would hire her again 1000x. From start to finish, Courtney was an absolute delight to work with. She is incredibly organized, kept every detail and every person on track with ease, and did it all with such warmth, kindness, and positivity. She truly is a bright light. I am definitely not someone who was born to plan parties, so having Courtney to bounce ideas off of and guide us through the planning process took an enormous weight off my shoulders. My mom passed away a few years ago and I was afraid to plan a wedding on my own, but Courtney became more than a planner she became my friend. She made every decision feel manageable and always made us feel confident that everything was under control. On our wedding day, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and I was able to be completely present for every special moment instead of worrying about logistics. Seeing everything come together so beautifully was beyond anything we could have imagined, and that was all thanks to Courtney's incredible work behind the scenes. I also want to mention our DJ Brian (who we were able to hire alongside Courtney in a contract together). He also deserves all the praises - there was not one moment where the dance floor wasn't filled and he was SUCH a talented DJ. The online program he used to help compile our song requests was so easy to use and he was so engaging the entire time with our guests. Thank you Brian! We are so happy we trusted you as our DJ, all our family and friends raved about you.  Not to be confused with our amazing DJ - I also would love to recommend DJ Catering. Doug and Courtney have worked together for years and their teamwork was flawless. I had so many people tell us after the wedding that it was the best wedding food they have ever had, by far. And being able to rent all the tables etc through them made the process so simple.  Anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, professional, genuinely kind, and truly invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Courtney and One Sweet Day Weddings & Events highly enough. She gave us the gift of being able to fully enjoy one of the best days of our lives, and for that we will always be grateful.    P.S. Courtney thank you for being the most prepared person ever and sewing my button back on my dress mid wedding we love you! You are the best. Thank you so much for being part of our story.
