    The location is good and the space is perfect for an intimate gathering or party. Had my daughters XV and the space worked well for us. I did get frustrated at times prior to the event with my coordinator not responding or not coming on time. But at the end it worked out. I May have been too much for them Because I like things done on time and I don't like my guest picking up after themselves. Not wowed by the staff that night they seemed too laid back. Our party was chilled and small. The cold sparklers were a total fail I was disappointed about. They refunded some of the money but it should have been fully refunded. Reason for Only portion of the refund was because they had to pay their helper for something that didn't even function properly and didn't get the full Use of. But I have to say I am wowed by Nani's setup and the end product look beautiful! Kudos for the decore you did amazing! But you had me stressed prior to the event. We did have some hiccups along the way. Not sure if it was my fault I guess I should have done a check list. Deposit refund no idea why some was not returned it wasn't much but it would be nice to put an explanation of why. But I do love the space for a future event that's more casual for sure. All though they are so bad at communicating or returning calls. I recently tried to book for a future date and no luck. Lol they know it's me and here I'm holding back on some of the negative points I don't feel the need to mention because it's not that important. If you have kids it's perfect to have the outdoor patio. We had a blast it Perfect for us Even with the mishaps.

    Does not respond to email inquiries. I ended up having to send multiple emails and still have nothing set up for the date of my event.

I remember spending a lot of time at the snack bar. Go figure. Anyways, banquet hall we were housed in for the event was spacious and well kept. The tables were in good order and the chairs comfortable enough. The building offered a stage, clean restrooms, an area for the caterer to set up, and a good sounds system. The staff at the front as you walk into the building were welcoming and friendly. There are several parking lots and one adjacent to the banquet hall we were in. The land escaping immediately around the building we were in was very nice, but I did notice that the gold course needed some TLC. The grass was very uneven and not well kept up.

    Not happy with the services provided by this community center. I was excited at first to find…read moreaffordable tennis lessons for my son. They were group lessons, but I thought it would be OK for a beginner. We'll, I was wrong. The instructors were kind, but that's the best I can say about them. Kids spent 95% of the time waiting in line. Once it was their turn, they would only have a couple of opportunities to practice. And then in case they sucked, no feedback was provided to them. Nor did the instructors corrected them and showed how to improve their performance. I guess you get what you pay for, and it was very optimistic of me to expect good services for such a low price, but not to that extent! Also, my kid was verbally abused by a couple of other kids and it was completely ignored by either their parents or instructors.

We were given a tour of the wine cellar. VH has a large variety of their own wines at an affordable price. Rhonda, gave us the tour and shared the history of the estate. She also answered many questions about our stay and offered future reservation tips and places to eat. There was an error with a double booking that Rhonda graciously adjusted for us, thank you!! We Will definitely be back for a longer stay.

We went over the contract thoroughly, eventually deciding that we would bring our own vendors (taquero, DJ, photographer, baker, event decorator, and 360 photo booth), as I have known many of these people for years and have an established, trusting relationship with most of them. Joseph said that was perfectly fine, the only service that we had to use from his side was the bartender, which my husband and I understood. During this meeting we also met his assistant Patty and were told that she would also be helping us through this process, but that he was always available, and we would have his complete attention the week of and leading to the day of our daughter's celebration. Part of our contract states that we were able to bring the supplies/decor/spirits to the venue the week of the quince. So, on May 4th, my family and I filled the event room with the decorations et al, that we would be using for the following Saturday, the 9th. Every single day, Monday through Friday that week, my mom and I were at the venue, sorting through boxes, opening packages, putting the cake table pieces together, setting up the candy bar, making sure that when the day of came, everything would be organized and ready for the staff to take out to decorate. Friday afternoon (5/8) we met with Patty to clarify all of this. But first let me elaborate a bit more... My family and I had informed Joseph and Patty that we would be bringing some salads, fruit/vegetable platters, and items for a nacho bar that would need to be set up before we arrived. Joseph explained that he did not have enough staff to help with that (8 people doing various jobs, still unsure of what) and that either myself or a friend/family member would need to come and get this ready because he could not accommodate this. We were so grateful that our BAKER, who is not employed by the venue, was able to help with this since she was also arriving early to bring the desserts for the cake table. More on that in a minute. When we arrived at the venue the day of the quince, it looked beautiful, the tables looked ready, centerpieces, runners, etc. then I started noticing that there was so much more missing, and my guests were already walking into the party space. For starters, I did not see hardly any staff in the party area and Patty was unfortunately running around like a madman. She was feverishly trying to set up the luminaries and LED pillars we had brought for the garden walkway. I also noticed that the fruit/veggie/nacho bar table was not set up. I ended up rushing to the clubhouse where all of this was being stored and took everything out of the refrigerator myself. I encountered a staff member on the way back who said to me, "Oh are you the mom? Oh let me know what you need help with." My mind was absolutely boggled. Did my family and I NOT just spend the entire week here and leave detailed instructions? And then... While carrying said fruit/vegetable trays, I walked by the tables to notice that there were not any "reserved" signs placed. We had asked for two tables to be held for the immediate family. I had mentioned this to one of the staff, I believe Lily (she was very lovely) and said she would get right on it. About 10 minutes later I saw that the signs were there, but what I learned the following week was that one of the tables already had guests sitting at it and they were promptly asked to move to another table. Sigh... And then... Once my husband and I were able to catch our breath, we grabbed a quick drink. Jason was our bartender, very kind and solid drinks. While we were at the bar, Joseph came up to talk to us, telling Jason that someone got sick in the bathroom and that he had to stop serving hard alcohol for an hour. Mind you, the bar has only been open about forty-five minutes, and no one has had any shots or is intoxicated. We all disagreed with this but had to oblige. By this time, we were falling behind schedule and had to do the main entrance. Then I realized that I had not seen my daughter in almost two hours, the sun was starting to set, and we did not take any pictures with her in this beautiful space because we had to do the jobs that we had hired this venue for. In the end: No pictures with our daughter in this space that cost half our budget Staff enjoyed our taquero without checking to make sure all of our guests had eaten Saw photos of Joseph and his staff enjoying our 360 photo booth Learned that 80% of my vendors experienced an unpleasant encounter with Joseph My guests were unsatisfied with parking/golf cart availability Not enough restroom signage Reports from vendors state as of 2pm, tablecloths weren't even on the tables.
