As a cheese fanatic, I knew I had to check out Foodbeast's Oozefest in downtown Santa Ana. Early…read morebird VIP tickets were $40, and regular price is $50. We chose to just enter the marketplace for $5 which houses food trucks and one beer stand with Bud Light or Stella for $4, or Sky cocktails for $8. VIP is AYCE and AYCD; the marketplace is pay as you go. Originally I thought that VIP or not, everyone was able to try the same food but I realized that VIP had a separate set of vendors. So although the food trucks were tasty, I would spring for VIP next time. You can easily find the food trucks throughout OC at any time without having to pay $5 to get in. In the end the $5 was fine because I understand that they had to staff security, hire the DJ, etc. The general admission marketplace was spacious and we came at an off time so that we didn't have to wait in any lines. After 5:30pm the lines definitely got longer, so arriving at 3:30 was a good call. VIP opened at 5 and I do have to say that it looked super packed, although I can't speak to how things went in there. My friends and I ended up staying until 7 just drinking Stella and listening to the music, so overall it was a nice afternoon and I will be back next year in the VIP.

To say that I had a fantastic time at Oozefest this year would be an understatement…read more We arrived at downtown Santa Ana maybe an hour into the event (for VIPs) on Sunday and the VIP section was already crowded AF. There was plenty of food to go around and all the vendors were very good about having food ready to serve throughout the night. Lots of free-flowing booze and Hubert's Lemonade (they only had four flavors available. The watermelon was my favorite!) as well as bottled water to wash down all the cheesy goodness! Most memorable bites were the Queso Fundido Chorizo Brioche Donut (aka cheese donut) from Cafe Calacas and lobster taquitos from Slapfish :D VIP tickets include entry to the exclusive VIP section (which is AYCE) as well as the marketplace where you can buy food or merchandise from different vendors and food trucks. In my honest opinion, regular admission to the marketplace isn't even worth the $5. If you're going to make the effort to come all the way out here for this, I highly suggest paying up for VIP tickets ($50). Go big or go home. Free parking at the structure! YESSSS~ Would not have had this life changing experience had Thomas H. not won a pair of VIP tickets through Yelp! Thank you for taking me and of course thank you Ryan C. and Yelp OC for sponsoring us! :)

She truly is a one-stop shop and can arrange just about anything you can imagine. Every performer was top-notch, professional, and helped make our event unforgettable. Angel made the entire planning process effortless.

If you're looking for entertainment for any event, I can't recommend Firestorm Entertainment enough. We'll definitely be using them again! I've already decided they'll be back for my annual Halloween party! Thank you, Angel, for helping make our event such a huge success!

We booked a stilt LED robot for our wedding, but unfortunately the robot was not well received by…read moremany of our guests. My guests were scared when he entered as he was wearing a scary mask and carrying an axe. They did not want to be on the dance floor with him. The performer was also doing some odd things like displaying images of Santa, and then he came out wearing a Panda mask. The performer was also bothering some of my guests who were sitting down, so that was disappointing feedback to hear from my guests. I unfortunately got a lot of feedback from my guests that they didn't like the robot and that they wouldn't book it for their wedding. It was easy to book the robot, and interactions via email were smooth. One good thing was the performer started a limbo game on the dance floor, so that was good engagement with the guests. The LED robot overall was not what I had envisioned - I expected a cooler looking robot (less scary without weapons) and a robot that would do more dancing with us

It has been forever since I've been to Laguna Playhouse and that's my fault. For some reason, I…read morejust don't put life theater at the top of my list of entertainment, but that's going to change. I believe I saw this play being advertised on Instagram, etc. and it intrigued me so I opted to buy tickets. I'm one of those that do not necessarily need to be in the orchestra or main level and I chose to sit in the least expensive seats in the upper balcony areas. I don't think you can go wrong anywhere in the theater. There is municipal parking across from the theater, which is four dollars with no maximum hours. There's also metered parking in other city lots throughout the area. You can also take the free trolley. There is a small courtyard out front that early arrival patrons were mingling and having wine and a snack. Inside, there's a small beverage/bar area that featured some basic candy and snacks as well as some wine, coffee, and soft drinks. It was reasonably priced overall. We opted for a Coke and some pretzels and unfortunately, they carry the dots pretzels. I know everybody loves them. It's not my favorite. I do appreciate that they allowed the food and beverage into the theater. I'm kind of old-school a little bit of that because back in the day that was never allowed as far as the crowd most people were casually dressed or dressed to go maybe to dinner afterwards. It's a more casual environment compared to New York or Chicago theater districts. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. The shark is broken. The character casting was spot on. the mannerisms and voice inflections were also perfect. It was I believe a 90 minute show without intermission. Departing the theater and exiting across the street was easy. There are also restrooms. It seems handicap accessible on the lower level in general. I'm not sure about an elevator for the second level. I did not see one, but I would double check. Our tickets were will call in the box office person was very friendly and nice. I definitely will check back and see what other performances occur in the future.

After attending numerous plays and events at the Laguna Playhouse over many years, we have made the…read moredecision to never return! I will omit most names from this review as really does no good. Each year we purchase tickets to plays, usually in a series as you get good prices and seats. This past year our last play was supposed to be a Neil Simon play, but when we arrived, we were informed that the Simon play had been canceled and a new play called, The Shark is Broken, was on. The woman at the door told several of us that notices had been sent out about the change in plays. I did not get the memo and I suspect the email went instead to my moms spam folder, which she never thinks to check as to her, spam is a canned meat! Neither my 93 year old mother or I was interested in seeing a play about the shark from Jaws being broken, so I went to the box office and was informed that we could not be given a refund, but instead, a credit. That sounded ok as we usually find things to see there. At no time did anyone in the box office inform us that the credit had a time limit and would expire within a matter of months! I was a bit miffed as it takes me an hour and a half to get down to where my mom lives, then another 25 minutes to get to the theater, but I figured things happen and move on. The next day I get an email from the box office stating the amount of the credit. NOWHERE in the entire email did it state that the credit had to be used before the end of June! Mid may when I got the flyer for the 4 plays for this year, I called to choose the only show that looked appealing, 39 Steps, in October. The box office gal told me that we could not use the credit for any of those shows and that the credit had to be used before the end of June. I explained the situation to her and that we had not been told about any deadline. She was gruff and stated those were the rules and all playhouses go by those rules. Wanna guess what creative language was running thru my mind?! I said that since she was unable to fix this mess, I needed to speak with someone who could. She stated that she would give a message to the person who is in charge of the box office and hung up. Five days went by and no call, so I called and asked for whomever was in charge of the box office and a gal stated she could not give me her number but would give me her email. Why? At some point I would end up talking with person anyway. It was another example of someone being unhelpful. I sent the the gal in charge of the box office an email stating what happened and that I was upset at this entire situation and wanted it resolved and I asked to be called to discuss the matter. Instead of a call, I got an email asking if the issue was about the Shark play?! Why no call as I had asked, why dodge the call two times? I looked at the schedule and we had only 1 month and 2 choices, a comedy night at 7:30 PM or a play called Red. The comedy is a no go due to it being at 7:30 PM and the play Red did not look appealing. At this point both my mother and I were fed up and decided that no one at the playhouse had any interest in making things right and we were not going to forfeit close to $200 so we offered the seats to the play to friends who accepted. To add insult to injury, the ticket prices had gone up so in order to get the same seats for the play Red, we would have had to pay an extra $40. Unbelievable!! I chose to take lesser seats to avoid extra charges. So, in summation, what we have is a miscue about a play that was canceled, a refund with strings attached, no one alerting us to the unwritten rules about refunds and seasons, lack of cooperation, price increase, and general non caring attitudes. Nice way to treat patrons. Perhaps the people that run the Laguna Playhouse don't care about how their patrons are treated or even the loss. It doesn't matter at this point as we are done and I will make it a point to inform as many people as possible exactly what happened and to beware. I did appreciate Nicole at the box office who made the change for us and emailed me the confirmation.
