There is plenty of parking in their large lot. The space itself is open and airy with lots of natural sunlight. We were there for a fundraiser and there was plenty of room for food and drink tables, vendor tables and places for people to sit down and eat as well. I'm not sure if they do their own catering but what we had was very good. There was a large charcuterie table and then friendly servers came around with hot apps that were very tasty. If you're looking for a place to hold an event, I would absolutely suggest checking them out.

Emily was our day of coordinator and we also opted for the set up and tear down option. This was well worth it and saved so much stress. Emily did an amazing job meeting with us over several months to plan, build a timeline, floor plan, etc. she helped me with any questions and truly became a friend during this experience. I could not have asked for a better venue! It is not only absolutely beautiful, it is also in a great location, has great staff and offers great packages! Everything ended up perfect and we appreciated having their help along the way and being so kind with our circumstances. Thank you Rosewood, management and Emily for being so accommodating and amazing!!! We had the best time and absolutely recommend this venue!

I joined MVHPC March 2023 and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The members are…read morewelcoming & friendly. The pool area is beautiful and even stays open past labor day.

The club's members range from singles, couples/partners, young families, older families, empty nesters to retirees! It's a place for everyone! The Polo Club is something between a neighborhood pool and a country club. It's friendly and welcoming so no snooty attitudes allowed here. The club no longer has staff, it's member driven with volunteer and/or donation efforts throughout the year, in addition to club dues. The MVHPC has so much more to offer than just a pool membership....there are fun things like winter and summer platform tennis leagues, hiking trails, card nights, kids movie nights, pig roasts, derby day party, Christmas dance, karaoke....etc. In 2020, we added pop up parties with live local music on the terrace (BYOB) and it was a huge hit with members. We have been members since 2017 (wish we had joined sooner!)....I don't know what we did before we joined. We love it!

So, I picked out one from their site with dark purple and bright orange. They were able to do it the same day, which wasn't expected, and then called me when they were unable to deliver it due to my friend not being home. They reached out to my friend and arranged for delivery the first thing the next morning. My friend loved the arrangement and when she sent me a picture, it was EXACTLY what I ordered. They had great customer service and on top of that, were so kind. I absolutely, unconditionally recommend this florist.

Planning your wedding is never easy. My wedding on Labor Day weekend 2018 was a three-day…read moremulticultural event and we were fortunate to have Samantha every step of the way. I had initially hired Samantha to perform a design session for 1 of the days of the wedding. Soon, I realized I needed her full planning package. Samantha easily and quickly switched the packages and services. She sends a wedding task list which is catered to white Christian weddings (it has items like tanning services) but I just ignored those, and focused on the relevant items. We had a clause to add on any additional hours needed. Which I took full advantage of! I added services for Samantha to track and handle the wedding budget, which fell to the wayside. Nor did she really take on managing. When it became clear we would need additional hours for the weekend due to the magnitude of the events, Samantha was mindful of our costs without sacrificing value. She is well versed on the wedding etiquette and despite never having planned an Indian wedding before, she pulled it off with minimal hitches. I am sure has she gains more experience in various weddings and cultures, she will grow and be even better than she is. When my cousin offered to help coordinate the events, she gladly accepted the needed help. Samantha went out of her way to help me at the end of her reception night, when I fell sick. She is vast in her connections with local vendors and on how to get a bang for your budget. Her creativity on how to reuse decorations and flowers saved so much stress and costs. My biggest concern on the wedding weekend was the DJ. I wish I had explicitly expressed to Samantha to feel empowered to take control on handling him, and had been on a conference call with her and him to ensure things ran smoothly. But throughout the wedding, Samantha was cool and calm and took charge on the situation. Her business is growing and is well deserved. There are times when she was not able to answer emails right away because she was out of town for another wedding, workshop or vacation. As the wedding approached, vendors would ask for a timeline and conference call to go over the details. We were able to coordinate those requests with Samantha - she does get back to her clients and vendors, even if it means a conference call at 8:30 PM or on her way to the airport. I wish I booked her full services at the get-go. However her full package does not always equate to hours needed. Hence our purchasing additional hours, after purchasing the full service package. At the end of the day, Samantha wants her couples to be happy and she tries her best. And is focused on that, despite the noise from family input. I regret on not utilizing her skill and creatively fully. In my need to not want to bother her, or stress her out on chaos of an Indian wedding, I didn't involve her in designing the cake or cake-topper, and wish I had. And not worried about putting her off. She is capable if not short staffed. Definitely book her for your wedding.

I cannot recommend Sam and SJE highly enough! As a bride living in San Francisco and planning a…read morewedding in Yellow Springs, Ohio (at my parent's house), the seamless dot connecting that Sam facilitated for us was honestly above and beyond. She did an amazing job calling on all of her experience to fill in gaps where I was looking for advice or direction (sometimes gaps I didn't even realize at the time she was filling), all while empowering me to spend time and energy on the pieces or details that I cared most about. Many things she almost does in her sleep, not even realizing the slack she is picking up - coordinating who would set the tables, compiling all of my contracts, holding a planning session with our officiant, and keeping me on schedule with things like finalizing timelines and getting my seating chart done. I can be picky (I like what I like!) and Sam picked up on my aesthetic almost immediately and represented my interests to my partners and vendors effectively in meetings and discussions that I was not able to participate in being so far away. In addition to her incredible attention to detail (did I mention she did all of our calligraphy and styled the details photo shoot on the day of?! ), she is truly passionate about what she does and that comes through over, and over again. She is not fatigued by doing weddings and events nonstop, but rather she is energized by them and always looking to do things differently and innovate. Wedding weekend would not have been the perfect experience that it was without SJE and her incredible staff. On our wedding day, I spent time with friends and family, drank champagne, and focused on the special moments and she made that happen. Sam also ran the rehearsal like an absolute pro - showing up with [beautiful] weekend itineraries for the whole wedding party - without me asking for those! I cannot recommend SJE highly enough.
