After revising our numbers from 100 to 200 within a few weeks, Louise and her staff rose to the occasion(s) and produced a stunning wedding venue at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Her attention and demand for detail and perfection made the evening exactly that: a perfect blend of glitters, lights, twinkles and class. She has a vision and makes it work.

In addition to helping with our theme and artwork, she developed an amazing décor and lighting plan that brought my vision to life that was within our budget. She even designed the specialty drink, a Fire & Light Martini poured through an ice sculpture of the school foundation logo that blew all of us away. Our gala was held at MOCA downtown last April and the guests were truly awed by the decor, the food and the entertainment. Many said was the most beautiful and fun event they had attended in years. I will be forever grateful for her creativity, patience, dedication and direction. It was a privilege to work with Louise and her amazing staff!

The…read morevenue is really beautiful, easy to navigate (especially in heels) with a good amount of parking. Our friends had great wedding coordinators and vendors so everyone we encountered was super friendly. There were two sets of bathrooms readily accessible from where the reception was held. The space is really nice - not too large to where space felt underutilized but not too small where it's claustrophobic. It was a great venue and very beautiful overall.

They replied very quickly and were very accommodating to my requests and needs- and they delivered!! They were able to deliver exactly what I needed the day of the photo shoot and stayed within the budget. The delivered vintage Airstream was gorgeous and exceeded my expectations! I'll include some of my images for reference. I will definitely be using A Social for some upcoming events I'm planning! I highly recommend them.

There's multiple events held here monthly, including The Slide Society's line dance classes on Thursday nights at 6PM, which I really enjoy! In addition to this, there's also the barbershop and school that lives here, a healthy food prep restaurant I think, various community classes, and even the "Connections That Count" events that take place at 5 PM every first Wednesday that target, various themes and aim to build a better community (ABC) through fellowship and networking. There's really so many great things to say about the Dunbar and community events that occur here! Definitely worth checking out.

Currently it serves as a community center, a school, a barber academy, and it rents space out to artists and dancers and educators and even a publishing house! They have some great community programs and I was there for the Free Vegan Cooking class. The speaker, I believe her name is Rosie Kennedy, was great; equal parts knowledgeable and warm and engaging. She broke down a topic that can be daunting and demo'd a couple of recipes. Highly recommend signing up for any of her future programs if they (hopefully!!) have them. The space itself is not great for a cooking lecture because it's not a kitchen. The speaker did an amazing job, especially with all the constraints but she could have really benefitted from a more functional set-up. The room feels like its seen better days but they do have this super cool canvas wrapped around 2 of the walls that documents the history of the local African American community and the Dunbar. All in all I really appreciate having this resource in the community and look forward to their future programs!

For starters, their online catallogue needs to be updated. Customers can visit their showroom, which I did not, so for the online ordering types, they really should update their online catalgoue to refect what they actyally stock. Alot of the colors listed for the linens they didnt have at all, which was frustrating. The woman I placed my ordere with was very nice, but also has room for improvement with regards to attention to detail. They delivered the items to my next door neighbors, thankfully, they called me and it was an easy fix and they weren't sent across town to the wrong place. Their tables are in very poor condition. The wood is old, chipped, and snags on the linens, which I didn't love, but once they were covered it was all good. THe delivery and pick up teams were cordial and super fast. Very easy to work with. I'd consider ordering from here again, but perhaps may stop by their showroom first to see what they have in stock, versus having to go back and forth over the phone, requesting photos, etc. That was a little cumbersome.
