We just got married here and couldn't have been more happy with the service we received here. My…read morenow husband and I were supposed to get married in the downtown courthouse off PCH but their internet servers were down. They directed us to go to Santee and they assured us that Santee would take care of us. We were worried that it was going to be a crowded, busy nightmare, but it was far from it. Very few people were inside (due to covid restrictions) and everything was brand new and clean. Not to mention it was quiet and everyone working there was super nice. Our wedding was taken outdoors and took less than 30 minutes, which is exactly what we wanted. The wedding started off rough but ended on a smooth, happy note. Definitely something I will remember. :)

Overview: affordable way to get married, the wait times are pretty long even with an appointment,…read moregreat amenities though ---- Came here for a friend's wedding and it was a pretty simple process, but they were running behind so we waited longer than the original time they were supposed to get married. We got here at 11:30AM, they signed some paperwork, then it was a waiting game with the ceremony starting at around 12:15PM. Thank goodness there's air conditioning inside and plenty of seating. Especially in Santee and this heatwave we are experiencing, the AC was an amazing relief. They also had a water bottle refill station and water fountain. I also realllyyy liked that they had free menstrual products in the bathroom (so awesome!). There was lots of people getting married that day with around 3-4 other couples getting married. We waited for our turn and when the officiant was ready, they called the names of the couple and then we went outside. The ceremony area was shaded and had concrete benches, the only thing is that other women people/families waiting outside had slowly congregated nearby and were a little talkative. The ceremony area is located to the left of the front entrance and provided shade so I understand people want relief from the hot sun, but o feel like there should be a sign or a small fence or something to denote that that's the ceremony area so that people are mindful. ---- Overall: a longer wait time than expected, great free amenities, and affordable things like getting married!

Melody helped me from the moment I arrived. She noticed that I was nervous, never rushed me, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. She patiently directed me to the computers and I completed everything I needed to do correctly on the computer. It is so refreshing to know there are still employees like Melody who truly care about the people they serve. I have to return in a few days to complete more forms, and thanks to her kindness and professionalism, I am actually looking forward to going back. Thank you, Melody, for making what I expected to be a stressful experience such a positive one!

But this last time, i can honestly say that during my time I found myself through the help of all the deputies, my culinary teacher and my counselors. There was so much to learn and I was able to take full advantage of the programs in here as well as all the support. The deputies at Las colinas will forever hols a place in my heart as people who helped me grow and mature into the young women that I am today. I am almost two years clean, fully involved in my recovery and because I has an amazing culinary teacher I was able to get a job in the kitchen at chik fil a and I'm now training to be a shift lead! I learned so much and would not give up my experience for anything because it has helped me become a better member of my community, a better employee, a better friend and a better mother to my daughter. I want to thank all the staff at Las colinas for all the work you do and just know you are thought of almost daily. Thank you. -Coty Sparks​

Please return my missing income from last year as I have not recovered any from the fraud payee that has been closed permanently under the care of Carolyn Housman and CA Senior Adult Services Don Myers who couldn't understand I fired him for so many years before all the pains expressed through every neglected call with SSI before I was evicted from them defaulting and caused me to lose all of my property, home, family, supplies, tools, clothing, artwork, all promised to be recovered by SDPD and property who also hung up on me with my disability that needs acomodation sometimes even costing me 50% of my paychecks to get assistance when I am well. SSI leaves me less than $300 a month after my humiliating rent amount of $1000 at the very top of what I will sacrifice for a roof over my head after 100% of my money has been on rent and trying to recover lost tools and supplies. I still need towels, heat as reaquired by CA LAW in a rental- I can't afford with default and forcing me to continue reporting SSI left me in my car screaming for help and getting hung up on... sick and unable to reach them by my car that I lived in until I lost it with my rights to have a safety plan and for care at the hospital of my choice or not.

I need help with recovering money from this month and still on hold. I hung up after a few hours on hold the first time and the other time almost an hour and half. Now I am still on hold for almost 2 Hours and they are rude and have called me Pet names at window 3 needing help suing and recovering payment for my personal charges as soon as follow up as requested in many calls since and closing of my witness as my payee shortly after as he was a Captain in the Marines and also heard the PET NAME or SEXUAL HARRASSING OF UNWANTED NAME CALLING and Sexualizing me calling me MAM countless times as I just needed help and placement.
