I absolutely loved working with Jessica to design, plan, and execute our wedding day…read more She really knows the wedding industry and has so many tricks up her sleeve on making sure everything is thoughtfully planned. She is very solution centric so there is literally no challenge that arose that she wasn't comfortable tackling. What we appreciated about her most is she is VERY customer service oriented. She always responded to us quickly, offered advice, and looked out for us. I will never forget... when she arrived to the bridal suite, she brought me some delicious caffeine teas so I can get a boost of energy because I told her I was exhausted and didn't sleep well. It is such a small gesture, but meant a lot to me (I felt so cared for). She truly goes above and beyond and we will absolutely be keeping her in mind if we need to plan any events in the future. We love you Jessica!

Some of our wedding flowers were absolutely beautiful. But the most important ones, the ceremony…read morearrangements, were a real letdown. The quality felt inconsistent, and when we reached out afterward, we never heard back. If you're thinking about booking them, there are a few things we wish we had asked up front. We hired Vaso Bello for our wedding at La Quinta Resort in May 2025. We met with a few florists, but Ron stood out right away. He seemed to really get what we wanted. Even though the quote was a little higher than others, we felt good about putting our trust in him. His style is beautiful and the reviews were glowing, so we felt confident we'd be in great hands. To be fair, some parts of the floral design were exactly what we hoped for. We loved the terracotta vases on the dinner tables, and the flowers in our lounge area were absolutely stunning. They were full, colorful, and just gorgeous. That part truly felt like us. But that same care didn't carry through to everything. The ceremony florals, which were supposed to frame us during our vows, ended up being really underwhelming. They felt small, dull, and nothing like what we had imagined or discussed. They didn't add any real impact to the moment. Those arrangements are now in all our ceremony photos, and it's hard not to feel disappointed by that. We emailed after the wedding to share how we felt and ask if they could offer any explanation or even just acknowledge it. We never got a response. We're not sharing this to be harsh. We know how much work goes into weddings, and we truly believe Vaso Bello is capable of beautiful designs. We just didn't get consistency, and the lack of follow-up made it harder to move on. If you're thinking about working with them, we'd suggest being really clear about which floral moments matter most to you. Don't assume that just because something is in the proposal, it will be prioritized. If your date falls near a big flower weekend like Mother's Day (which ours did), ask how that could affect things. And don't be shy about checking in before the wedding to make sure everything is still on track. We hope this helps other couples going through the planning process. Every couple deserves to feel great about their wedding day and their photos. Update: After we posted this review, Ron reached out, apologized, and offered a refund for half of the ceremony florals. We appreciated the follow-up and the gesture. It didn't change how we felt about the experience overall, but it did show that he cared and wanted to make it right.

Ronn went above and beyond for this orchid-obsessed girlie and absolutely surpassed what I had…read moreenvisioned for my wedding day. Words can not capture how amazing my wedding florals were; from my gorgeous bouquet of mokara and cymbidium orchids (I was delighted with the surprise of added lady slippers) to the dramatic cascading phalaenopsis at our round wedding altar to the stunning arrangement of dendrobiums that greeted my guests on arrival. Can you tell I love orchids? The process of deciding on my wedding florals was so easy with Ronn's guidance and I loved meeting with him and his team at the Vaso Bello salon. He totally understood my (orchid) vision and we made adjustments together until I was happy and the results did not disappoint! On my wedding day, Ronn's presence meant so much to me. This showed me that he really cared and personally checked in with me to make sure that I was happy (I was thrilled!).Selecting Vaso Bello Celebrations was one of the best decisions for my wedding and I am so grateful to Ronn and his team for making our day so special and beautiful!

They have been nothing but incredible!! Their acute attention to even the finest of details was outstanding! All three of their energies, positivity and dedication burst from them as you can tell they are all DAMN good at their job and love it too! Not a detail, moment, flower was missed. They worked seamlessly to get the best of the best and pulled everything together for me. As the Bride, it was effortless and 100% NOT stressful thanks to them. They came to me with everything I envisioned and all I had to do was say yes and no. They built a massive wooden tent full of unbelievable lights that made the night time pics like an instagramable haven! Everything was just stunning! They worked with the hotel to finalizing all the food, budgets, locations... to the point where I never had to deal with them once, it was incredible! Special shout out to LIZ, who was my point person, she was just amazing! Every detail had their t's crossed and i's dotted a hundred times over! Nothing was amiss. She was always there for me, always supportive and could literally make anything I thought of happen in what seemed like a blink of an eye!

She was paramount in designing our table decor and tying everything together into a chic and stylish wedding. We were very picky, but she had patience with our process and showed us multiple iterations until we felt comfy, which we SO appreciated. She also helped us find decor vendors that matched the vibe we were going for, as well as helped us fine tune our ambitious color palette. It was so gratifying seeing everything come together. On our big day Heather and her team took care of everything! We didn't need to think about anything except marrying one another (and our coordinated first dance ). Heather is very sweet and reassuring which helped put us at ease. She even won over our 4 yr old nephew who can be difficult, and he did a great job as the ring bearer thanks to her! We highly recommend her for your big day!

I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa from I Do Weddings and Events on several weddings,…read moreand every single time I find myself thinking, "This bride is so lucky to have Melissa!" She is incredibly professional, organized, kind, and truly one of the sweetest wedding planners I've ever worked with. She has such a calm, warm presence, which makes such a difference on a wedding day--not only for the couple and their families, but for all of us vendors working behind the scenes. Melissa works frequently at The Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, and she knows this beautiful venue inside and out. Her experience there really shows in how smoothly everything comes together. I also have to mention her vendor recommendations. Everyone she brings onto her team is wonderful--professional, talented, and simply the best at what they do. As a wedding photographer, it is always such a pleasure to work alongside Melissa because I know the day will be beautifully organized and the couple will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend Melissa and I Do Weddings and Events to any couple looking for an experienced, caring, and genuinely wonderful wedding planner. She is an absolute gem!

What initially drew me to I Do Weddings... was her team's familiarity with San Diego wedding venues, and especially with our venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum. From our first consultation with Melissa, through every call and email, we immediately felt at ease knowing she was by our side. Melissa truly made the wedding planning process so much easier. She was incredibly responsive and always had an answer to my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding. I never felt like I was bothering her or asking too much, and knowing we had someone experienced and dependable to turn to made such a difference. On the wedding day, Melissa and her assistant coordinator, Elena, made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I felt completely stress-free that morning because we knew Melissa and her team had everything under control. We were able to simply enjoy our day and be present in the moment, which was exactly what we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her team to anyone planning a wedding. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so seamless and special!

Monterey Country Club: Community, Class, and Unmatched Value!…read more Joining Monterey Country Club has been one of the smartest decisions I've ever made. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted by name and treated like family -- it's that rare blend of warmth, professionalism, and genuine community spirit that makes every visit feel special. A huge shoutout to Bobby and Kaitlyn Ellis, who always go above and beyond to make every day at the club an absolute pleasure, and to Juan, the Membership Sales Manager, whose kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail make him an absolute gem. This staff makes you feel not just welcome, but known -- and that's something truly special. Beyond the incredible service and the beautiful course, membership here also comes with access to the Palmer Advantage program, which is a total game-changer. It opens the door to play at country clubs across the country -- both public and private -- under the Arnold Palmer management umbrella. Most of the clubs I've visited through the program don't charge a green fee at all -- just a cart fee, typically between $15 and $32. That's an unbelievable value, and I've been taking full advantage of it, especially now during the desert's overseeding break! Monterey Country Club isn't just a place to play golf -- it's a community that feels like home. If you're even thinking about joining a club in the Coachella Valley, do yourself a favor and check out Monterey. I promise you won't be disappointed.

*Monterey is a Wonderful Place*…read more The guard gated community is beautiful and peaceful... The condos/homes are spacious, light & bright with high ceilings and beautiful views of the golf courses... The swimming pools are all nice but kinda small...and the jacuzzi spas aren't hot enough... The gym is very old & outdated in need of a major facelift and better equipment & dumbbells. I've rarely seen a gym I didn't like nor can't deal with until this one. And happy I wasn't forced to workout at this facility... The Clubhouse tho is very nice...and Letty at the front desk is so friendly & welcoming...and sweet as can be... But the star of the show is/was Dennis at the Clubhouse restaurant/bar. Friendly cool dude who know's his stuff, has extensive experience in the restaurant/bar industry, provides amazing & professional service...and he was able to keep up with me while talking about sports :) Had their Ahi Tuna for a pre dinner Appetizer and it was fantastico. The "center-cut ahi tuna" was extremely fresh...and all the flavors of the dish paired very well. They do something with the sauces that's not common -- they use hoisin sauce, instead of sweet eel sauce, and together with their spicy tuna aioli it's a perfect combination. Because IMO, most eel sauces are too sweet & sugary. Compliments to the Head Chef. We intend to comeback one day for brunch because believe it or not, their Lox & Bagel Plate is only $13...and the funny thing is, when we saw that on the menu, wifey & I discussed a return visit in the future...and when we began our conversation with Dennis, discussing their menu, he told us "you need to comeback another day for the $13 Lox & Bagel Plate" and we all had a good laugh about that. My only complaint is they close the Clubhouse restaurant/bar @5pm...and it'd be nice if they stayed open later. Because I'd most defiantly linger to watch a ballgame on one their large flatscreen tv's...and spend more money on food & drinks...and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would. But all & all...Monterey Country Club is a wonderful place, centrally located in the heart of Palm Desert, right on the borderline of Rancho Mirage.
