Everywhere you look, you could find something from modern, farmhouse, Bohemian, vintage, any style and any color you could imagine, you can find it here. My all-time favorite thing that will stick with me for years to come. I fell in love with a floral plate that they had gotten in, and I had to ask them to order eight plates. Unfortunately, they were not able to do that, but they did gift me the plate on my wedding day! That is now a very special memory and plate that I will treasure for years to come! Thank you so much Sundrop vintage. I cannot thank you guys enough for everything that you did for me throughout our many decorating walk-throughs and our final mock up and for my wonderful plate. If I could have another wedding to my amazing husband Sundrop vintage would always be my first choice.

Sundrop Vintage was wonderful to work with for our November wedding at Serra Plaza.

Ann was incredibly responsive and reliable throughout the process. At one point, she quickly stepped in to resolve an administrative issue involving another vendor--something that wasn't even her responsibility--and handled it efficiently and professionally. Her willingness to help and ability to problem-solve made a stressful situation much easier. The quality of both the furniture and the service was excellent. We would have loved to source our flatware through them as well if we had been able to. Overall, Sundrop Vintage was absolutely worth the long-haul fees, and we highly recommend them.

We had our wedding here in August 2022, and truly had the best experience. Our friends and family…read morehad the best time, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to host our event at La Ventura. Would recommend! With the pandemic postponing our original date, La Ventura and the staff here were so accommodating and helpful. The team here is so genuine, positive, warm, and caring, and truly know how to deliver and guide you through the whole crazy wedding process. Communication with them was so easy. The venue is beautiful, so you don't need to do much at all in terms of decor. The catering/food was delicious. They have great attention to detail. The staff / team they have are really great and friendly. Parking is limited, so valet is required for larger events. Also you do need to factor in additional cost for rentals (flatware, linens, etc), but they contract directly with a company which at least makes it one less thing for you to do. All in all, well worth it!

It's been way too many years since our family has had a wedding so I was super excited when one of…read moremy cousins announced last year that he was getting married. Fast forward to last night and we attended their ceremony at La Ventura and we all had such a wonderful time! La Ventura is a very beautiful and intimate place. There's a small indoor bar area by the main lobby and an outdoor patio where there was a photo booth and gelato station set up. I am not sure if they were outside vendors because while the photo booth staff was GREAT and he was just so patient with all of us but the service from the gelato bar staff kind of fell short. Other than that, everything about the wedding was fantastic.

Hands down one of the most creative, dreamy, special ways to spend my mom's 50th birthday. The…read moresurprise was for her, but I was extra surprised myself. Booking the event was extremely easy, I read other reviews about the planners not reaching out prior to the event, but the truth is that you don't really need to hear from them. All of the plans are in writing when you sign the agreement, the location and time are set prior to the date (also in writing). The day the event, the crew reached out and let me know they were setting up along with texting me a location pin. The Picnic Collective went above and beyond with the details. The flowers were beautiful, the grazing boards were delicious, everything was absolutely beautiful! I purchased the sandwiches for each guest and they were yummy. The only extra things I brought myself were a cake and alcohol. (mini champagne bottles and seltzers along with a trash bag to keep the alcohol bottles out of sight :) They provide pretty glass looking cups and it made us feel extra fancy. The blue tooth speaker was a nice touch to set the mood with music. Overall 10/10 I would hire them again for another special occasion. I was so happy with everything. If your picnic is at the beach like most are, I recommend arriving 30min early, plan ahead because parking is a mother. For reference I worked with Kristen and she was really fast at replying via text.

One thing that would be helpful would be the communication after requesting and placing a deposit. Everything was done online via email, but I would have loved to actually speak or text with a live representative during that time and after they asked for the final payment before the actual day. They also asked for a tip prior to the day, but we opted to tip on the day because again, I had already paid for the entire experience before the experience. Thanking God it all worked out!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.
