Went here for a cinema event, and boy was I wowed. They rocked this event, the setup was…read morephenomenal, the staff was gracious, very clean venue, and the bartender was slanging drinks. This space is nice for any event. The presentation of the food part of this event was creative and presented well! Wish some of the entrees were served warmer or hot, some weren't even lukewarm, which made it difficult to eat. Wish there was a photo booth with props to take pictures by ,to go with the event. That would have been the cherry on top of the themed event. Plenty of parking available! Will I be back? Looking forward to it!

Unfortunately this venue did not meet my expectations and I wouldn't want another bride to…read moreexperience this. My wedding was relatively small- I spent months working on decor, planning etc but unfortunately the staff started to clean up and take everything down before 9:30pm (we had the venue until 10). This basically resulted in the wedding feeling very "over" when we still had a lot of time that we paid for- I would have loved to dance the rest of the night away but because everything was already cleaned up- people thought it was over. I was a distracted bride and didn't realize what was going on until almost every table was empty - the staff seemed like they were in a rush to go home. The most upsetting issue was earlier in the day, our coordinator from the venue did not communicate with my family which resulted in my grandparents sitting in the back of my wedding. I would like to emphasize we only had about 75 people, less than 10 of those were my blood family and my grandparents SAT AT THE BACK. I can't believe a venue could not handle directing the traffic of 75 people. SEVERAL of my guest approached me after the wedding to say they felt uncomfortable before the wedding from the treatment they were receiving. My wedding cake was also put out incorrectly which resulted in hideous holes on the top of my cake ( I wish I was kidding) . I am a very type B person, I tried to make this wedding as simple as possible and I was extremely let down by this venue. I won't even get into the $200 that went missing at my wedding that they didn't seem to find on camera. Simply don't get married here- take your money somewhere else. All you will get is a $100 gift card to a breakfast restaurant as an apology.

I was there for a wedding on 06/10/2017. This is an excellent venue. The parking lot is a huge…read moregrass area. People direct you to a parking spot so parking is organized. The venue has an old Victorian type style to it. Plenty of shade for those hot summer events. The area for the wedding is a short walk from the reception area. They have a bar and very nice bathroom area. It is hard to find a problem with this venue. You do have to drive over a narrow bridge that might stress some drivers. I've driven over it in a full size pickup with no problem. The food was excellent and plenty of it. I would suggest this place for your event.

I had my wedding here. Silvia was great to work with and was so helpful in the planning process…read more The venue is so beautiful and did not require a lot of extra decoration. They include so much including the furniture and lighting, and we got a good deal on the dance floor. We chose this venue because it encompasses what we love about Visalia, with the greenery and the oak trees. Many of my guests have commented on how beautiful it was and thought it was very unique. The only concerns were regarding the bridge getting to the venue, but we did not have problems with it, and with getting our rentals out the night of the wedding, but it was easy to coordinate. The food was amazing, as we expected from Fugazzis. From the time of our tasting, we knew the food was going to be good. We had ample choices for our appetizers, the entree options were delicious and plentiful, the desserts were really good, and the late night tacos were a huge hit for our guests. Silvia was so helpful in planning the day. From coordinating with my vendors, to answering all of our questions, she helped the day go smoothly. She is very knowledgable and had good suggestions for our other vendors as we were doing our research. Overall, it was a great day, and I am so happy that we chose to have it at Victorian Garden.

What a joke. This guy is only interested in d-list music artists and swindling people out of money…read more Had a contract for our wedding, promised he would be there in person for hosting and DJ services. At the last minute he gave us a "deal" for a videographer but wanted the $600 ASAP. He did not show, Joey subcontracted some idiots who didn't speak English or have a translator on site, they didn't show up until the last minute with the wrong song list, the "videographer" was one of the dj's with a digital slr on video mode.. Without a tripod. Soo we listened to music we didn't ask for, had a Spanish speaking host pronounce all of our names wrong, had green and red f'ing disco lights at a historic elegant setting, and produced a video 6-months after our wedding that my 5 year old cousin could have done with a smart phone between his butt cheeks. Our close friend stepped in to host (un-paid), our coordinator basically took over the music, and we asked for a refund on the video since it was shaky, poorly edited (if you can call it that), and didn't include parts of the wedding he said it would include. Almost 2 years later he still hasn't produced a better video or the refund. Just awful. I can't believe this guy stays in business. STAY AWAY FROM J-LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. He'll just keep sweet talking you until you give up and stop bugging him.

We love renting with C&L. For 2 years in a row we rented the palm tree slide that was a HUGE hit at…read moremy sons parties. I also enjoyed going on it with the kids. Its definitely adult size and kid safe. The kids didn't need any entertaining other than the slide. Communication with C&L by text was so easy and convenient. The owner is a busy man and always got back to me and answered my questions (some I even asked multiple times because I forgot). He never made me feel like I was being a bother with all my questions and requests. The 1st year I booked far in advance and weeks before the party I checked in and he sent me the calendar confirming our booking. The slide was set up early just like he said it would be and removed just as he said. THE BEST PRICES. THE BEST PRICES. THE BEST PRICES. SO AFFORDABLE that this year we rented 2 slides from him. I also got tables and chairs again THE BEST PRICES. Everything was clean and they sanitized it infront of us after set up. Every chair and table were in great condition. This year unfortunately at the last minute I had to postpone the party 1 week. He was so understanding and exceptional I was nearly in tears over how much I appreciated this man. He didn't have to rent to me after asking to move the date the night before the party. I was so stressed out and his response was such a relief. I know he stays busy and I hope C&L all the best. I will rent from them again. Hopefully you will too. If I could give more stars I would. THE BEST.

She is so positive and outgoing. We booked her right away without a second thought. And boy and I SO HAPPY we did. Our wedding package came with an engagement session. So we met Laurie in Visalia to do our engagement pictures in the blooms, and I have never seen such AMAZING pictures taken of my groom and I. She has a way with people and children, and even my husband really enjoyed our first photo shoot! She is great with communication and has everything organized on a timeline, and even though I was a hour late from our start time, she had the most optimistic attitude and jumped right in and took the lead! All of my wedding party and guest had nothing but amazing things to say about her, and how polite, sweet and upbeat she is! We will be using her for all family pictures from now on! You won't find better, especially for the price! Thank you so much Laura for everything!
