The event was held in the stone room, which was perfect for our party of around 30 guests. Susan and Kaylee worked directly with me to bring my vision to life and were always available to meet and answer any questions. Their preferred vendors were also awesome - shoutout to It's Graze-y and Wisteria Grove! The final decor was absolutely stunning, and the event turned out better than I could have imagined. Susan and Kaylee even set up an arts and crafts table for the children present to help keep them occupied! It was such an unexpected surprise and really touched my heart. So grateful to La Villa Bella for helping me create this special day for a beautiful growing family. Looking forward to future events here! Highly recommend!

We planned a majority of our event in the outdoors area, somehow neglecting the fact that it would eventually become night time. We were freezing until the people attending the venue rolled out the heat lamps, that we later found out is supposed to be an additional charge. I asked the guy setting them up why they were being so hospitable, to which he said he just thought we were nice people! All in all I appreciate the venue and the people in charge of it for their genuine help in making our experience as comfortable and enjoyable it could be!

Katelyn, the owner, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was quick to respond, easy to work with, very affordable, and so talented. She personally decorated the space for us, and everything turned out beautiful. Katelyn truly helped bring our vision to life and made the entire process feel stress-free. On such an important day, it meant so much to have someone so reliable, available, and genuinely helpful. We are so grateful for Katelyn and Lux Studios. Our wedding reception was unforgettable, and we could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Lux Studios to anyone looking for a beautiful event space and someone who truly cares about making your day special!

She is everything and more you expect from a hostess. She is attentive, kind and helpful. She has multiple furniture pieces you can switch out based on your vibe. Lux studio is such a hidden gem. Truly a stunning indoor architecture and it was honestly perfect size and budget for our event. She is also well connected with other vendors and made renting tables and chairs a breeze. Overall super pleased and I recommend this location to other friends all the time. Katelyn made it feel like I was hosting at a family member's house she did not hesitate to help set up which I am so so grateful for.

They have great teamwork which really reflects in how smooth of a process this ended up being. In the chaos of wedding planning, this was one of the easier parts. We absolutely recommend picking the Garner House as a place to celebrate your forever!

The communication with him and his team was consistently clear from the start. It was essentially a one-stop shop for me, as Frank connected me with Rene, who handled event coordination, and also introduced me to the food vendor, DJ, Photobooth and cake decorator. There were more selections of different vendors to choose from, if I needed them as well. We were thoroughly pleased with the overall result. The venue was stunningly decorated, and the food was exceptionally delicious, which we did receive many compliments from our guests. The cake was also beautifully decorated and tasted wonderful. We appreciated the opportunity to schedule food and cake tastings beforehand, which helped make our decision. The DJ performed well overall, although he didn't play many of our selected songs. However, we could request changes on the spot if we didn't like a particular track, which kept our guests dancing throughout the night. I strongly recommend this venue for your next large event. It is staffed by a professional team that is both efficient and eager to assist with every detail of your special day.

Literally a hidden gem. I have lived near this venue for a decade and didn't know it was here! My…read moresister found it when we were desperate to find a location for a Celebration of Life service for my son. Hidden Oaks was perfect! We had a short time frame, a tight budgets (his death was a surprise, which makes for a surprise budget as well), and a whole lot of unknowns -- like how many guests there would be. That's rough event planning. Sheryl and our coordinator Lyndsay were incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. I will always be grateful to them for this. We paid for the additional assistance of two staffers -- Helping Hands, for $20 per hour. Well-worth it, and they were lovely. Highly recommend. Lyndsay was an absolute SAINT putting up with all our question marks on this day. She was calm, professional, and had everything under control. Since I was crying half the time, I was very thankful for her presence. Our guests were blown away with how beautiful the venue was. Most guests were local and they were as surprised as we were! So here's what you need to know about this venue: --it is gorgeous, shady, clean and just lovely. Perfect for a smallish event of about 100-200, IMO. --it is disabled accessible, although it is a historical property. --you cannot hear the freeway at all once you are inside the venue --pricing is VERY reasonable and you won't have a catering minimum. --it has Padua Hills vibes, but the catering minimum there is $10K and you have to use their caterer -- no thank you. --big money saver: they have tables, chairs, umbrellas, and they set up of all that. You only need to rent linens. --There is a kitchen, but it is not really for cooking. More for staging and refilling. It has a commercial fridge and a freezer, so we kept ice and extra cheese and desserts to refill. The caterers used it, but we didn't cook there. --it has both indoor and outdoor spaces, which makes it great for rain plans. --there is no alcohol, no smoking of any kind, and music needs to be the Disney version. It is owned by a Christian church, so values need to align there. They mean these things. Respect this. For us, this was no problem, since we needed a sober venue for the respect of some of our guests. We simply printed a disclaimer on our invitations. --you probably need extra signage at the entrance because it is easy to miss. You need to allow time for people to get in if you have a lot of guests. --Cheryl was organized -- we had a pre-meeting where she gave us a tour and a folder of all the details (table sizes, rules, helpful vendor contacts, etc) In our case, we welcomed guests on the north side of the building, had an espresso bar on the west patio, then directed guests to the back yard where the gazebo is. We held the "ceremony" part of the event by the gazebo, but we didn't really decorate at all (we didn't want it to feel like a wedding). Then we invited guests into the house and to the north side of the property, where one would normally have a reception for snacks and socializing. There are lots of little rooms and places where groups of guests can socialize within the house. For us, that worked because groups of my son's friends could reminisce together in their own social groups. We had no real need for flowers, because the facility was beautiful by itself. I hope this venue helps!

Food: 5/5｜Service: 5/5｜Atmosphere: 5/5…read more I was genuinely surprised that a golf course café could deliver food at this level. We ordered the steak nachos, and they were seriously impressive -- generously loaded with tender, well-seasoned beef, creamy sauce, fresh pico de gallo, avocado slices, and pickled onions. The acidity from the pico and onions nicely balanced the richness of the cheese and chips, so it never felt too heavy. Plenty of meat in every bite. The setting overlooking the green is relaxed and scenic, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Happy hour makes it an even better deal with a couple dollars off. Definitely worth a stop, even if you're not golfing.
