He was very prompt in response. We booked a sunset Friday night. It was just my husband, my daughter & myself. We ordered Cheesecake Factory to bring aboard the sunset cruise. I'm sure the average guests bring cocktails & have a crazy time. We were just making an evening with our daughter. There is a Bluetooth speaker you can hook your phone up to & listen to music. Loved all the spots we cruised. Heard some little fun facts about houses & boats owned in the area. It was flawless & so enjoyable. Ryan, the captain, was a very nice young man. He made me have faith that there are still some hard working, ambitious young adults around. He is wise beyond his years. We will definitely book again & if you're reading this, you should too.

Event loft and their team took every idea I thought of and with zero hiccups turned my vision into a reality! Adina and her dedicated team really succeeded in thinking of every detail that made my day one for the books! The stunning, intimate, outdoor luau themed shower kept my guests impressed, from the beach themed decor to the gourmet food selections, and the tiki themed mom-osa bar and custom beach baby cake were thoughtful surprises that really made my day extra special! Her staff had great communication from the time of my booking which really made me feel at ease that every step of the planning process was moving forward smoothly. On the day of my shower her staff was happily ready to help in any way needed, from taking family photos to handing out drinks, cleaning up decorations and handing out party favors even past the end of my party and their shifts. Everyone really went above and beyond and,overall, I couldn't have been more impressed with Event Loft as an event company. I would highly suggest Event Loft if you are looking for an elite professional event company to plan your next big party, with so much uncertainty during these times, rest assured Adina's got you covered!

I booked Adina I believe in 2018 and she is not only professional but she is sweet, humble, and genuine. She worked with us every step and hurdle the pandemic caused. Meaning canceled venues, pushed wedding dates, special requests and even changed wedding design. I can't relay enough of my gratitude to her and her team. When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

This is one of the primary family activities I love doing with both my children…read more Since Ariel turned 3, she has never been more star struck by the princesses that make her over and have tea parties with her. Every event is so personalized and special, it has helped us through monumental milestones of family transition, deployment, etc. They have something nice for the parents as well so that they can also enjoy the experience like champagne, lattes, and a lovely seating area. My son Wilder also really enjoyed being a pirate and finding treasure and has joined Ariel for the Elsa and Anna event last year as Olaf, also enjoying the fondu and fun activities the kids were there to enjoy. These experiences are so wonderful because even an hour makes such a big difference to their lives and we don't have to schlep around giant parking lots or worry about extra expenses and lines like at Disney. They just feel special and get the greatest experience for a lot less expenses and hassle. The location by the beach with the nicest folks also makes it great. Sometimes we walk around after or take the ferry and have ice cream. The park across the street is inviting as well.

The Rosè was delicious and one of the best I think I have ever drank. The surroundings are just breathtaking with you feeling like you are in a little oasis in Newport Beach. They have lots of animals on the property, goats, chickens, tortoise, ponds with beautiful koi fish, bunnies. It's an animal lovers dream. All the animals are very happy and friendly. You can tell they get lots of love and attention, and are very well kept. The landscaping is like no other like you are in an exotic jungle mixed with a beautiful winery. The service was great! The owner and staff are very welcoming and were a lot of help with coordinating the shower and getting what we needed for the set up. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here. It's a private winery so it's open for groups and events. I will definitely have another event here!

Bella was super knowledgeable about all the different scents which made the whole process a lot easier to go through. She gave us the perfect ratios of each scent oil and also good suggestions on which ones paired well together. The whole environment is very inviting and relaxing and it almost felt like we were just hanging out with a friend while we made our fragrances. I was honestly a bit scared that I wouldn't be a fan of any scents and not be able to make something I wanted but that flew right out of the door immediately. There's a huge variety of woody, sweet, oriental and floral scents which give great options for anyone regardless of their taste in colognes or perfumes. I would 100% do this again or try the candle making class and without a doubt got my money's worth and then some.

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.
