The venue is able to work with all of your requests (of course within their policies) and I couldn't have asked for more. Our event was beautiful! I highly HIGHLY recommend this venue for your party needs. The place can be transformed for any type of party from a kids party to a wedding! I truly have no bad thing to say. It's close to the freeway, there's plenty of parking. There's a Ralph's across the street if you forgot to get something last minute. Thank you for everything Adventure Onn!

From the very beginning, Maria was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She made the entire process feel easy and effortless--which is a dream when you're planning a wedding. On the big day, their attention to detail truly blew us away. They made sure to set aside a plate of everything that was served and even brought appetizers from our cocktail hour to our suite so we didn't miss a thing. They served us first at the reception and delivered sweets from the dessert table directly to us--such thoughtful, personal touches that meant so much to us! And the food? Absolutely amazing. Even our pickiest guests were raving about how delicious everything was! We had multiple people asking for the caterer's info because they were THAT good. We also booked our bartender through Gatherings N' Stuff, and from what our guests told us, he was a total hit! We will absolutely be recommending Gatherings N' Stuff to everyone we know and will definitely be using them again for all future events.

From the moment I…read morearrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who took the time to share the rich history of the landmark, including stories about the Bixby family. Walking through the home and gardens truly felt like stepping back in time. There's something incredibly special about being able to see and feel how people lived in the past--it creates a deep sense of connection and nostalgia that's hard to put into words. For me, the visit was also a moment of reflection--appreciating the lives and efforts of those who came before us, and how their contributions shaped the world we live in today. In such a fast-paced, modern era, it felt especially powerful to immerse myself in a place that preserves history so beautifully. I even remembered visiting here as a child, and coming back as an adult gave me a whole new appreciation for it. It's more than just a historical site--it's an experience that invites you to reflect, learn, and reconnect. I highly recommend visiting. It's a beautiful reminder that Long Beach is full of incredible history and hidden gems worth exploring.
