Here's the revised version:…read more The owner contacted me and offered a free event, which I declined, requesting a refund instead. She then offered a 20% refund and asked me to change my review, which I again declined. She claimed that despite paying for full event planning services, the event was subpar because I hadn't been involved in planning it. They didn't call. They didn't ask me to go their warehouse. They didn't do anything until the week of the event, when they tried to fit me into their random available times to walk them through my space via FaceTime. To clarify, I paid $2,000 for someone to plan and orchestrate an event. What I received was maybe a $200-$300 setup, and it's apparently my fault for not planning the event I paid someone to plan. She argued that I should have requested changes during the setup. However, I wasn't home at the time. The whole point of hiring this service was to arrive at a fully set-up event with my guests. When I arrived, they were still setting up as my guests were arriving (even though they were supposed to have been gone by then). So, there wasn't time to make changes, and it would have been an awkward conversation anyway. Instead of blaming me, they should have done the job they were paid to do or not sold the package in the first place. To add insult to injury, she compared this situation to eating a pizza and then requesting a refund. This was over $2k. It's not even close to ordering a pizza and asking for a refund. She ripped me off. I stand by my request for a full refund. She should have offered that refund on her own. This event was pitiful. I will never use their services again or recommend them to anyone.

Some of my favorite parts about BRICK were the late event time, no noise ordinance, flexible decor options, flexible vendor options, ample parking and more. The only vendor BRICK requires you to use, is their bar team, which is perfect because they were AMAZING. They were friendly, attentive, fast, and fun to have at the event. We supplied our own alcohol and they did the rest! During the planning stage of the event, BRICK was extremely responsive and helped us with every tiny detail. We worked closely with Hannah, Sabrina, and Victoria. I would absolutely choose BRICK again!

Thi was our day-of wedding coordinator--from 9am to 9pm on Sunday, November 10, 2013. Even a year…read moreand a half later, I only have wonderful things to say about our experience with Thi. She helped make sense of our tea ceremony that my mom's coordinator never bothered to explain to us. If it wasn't for Thi's ability to keep us calm and informed, I think I would've had a total meltdown out of frustration with the fustercluck that our tea ceremony would've been. We forgot to pick an additional bridal party processional song for our American wedding ceremony, so she picked one out on the fly for us and made sure our DJ had it. When my groom's family got lost and was 30min late, she made sure our bridal party never let us know and that the DJ kept the music going for the guests. I had no idea anything wasn't perfect for the wedding ceremony--fantastic! Finally, she was able to manage the mass of people waiting to take pictures with us at the reception, and work out all our weird seating issues without a hitch (especially considering she only got our list at 4 am in the day of). And, when we forgot pick any music out for the entirety of our reception, she picked everything out and gave it to our DJ. Every song she picked was perfect. Quite honestly, everything Thi touched worked exceedingly well. She's organized, adaptable, kind (but assertive when necessary), and really quite talented at making sure your entire wedding day moves along smoothly.

I have been looking for my engagement ring for a couple of years now. I know traditionally the guy…read moreis supposed to buy the ring and surprise the girl...blah blah blah...I just wanted to make sure my boyfriend (now fiance) got me a ring I'd be completely happy with, since it'll be the only piece of jewelry I'll wear FOREVER. The first ring we looked at was cute and affordable, he bought it and held on to it for the right time to propose. After some rethinking, I realized I didn't want a ring with white gold and we returned it. The second ring was just something I passed by and thought was nice. I didn't realize my boyfriend had bought it secretly in hopes of proposing. In the mean time, I found Thi and her customized/personalized engagement ring business. She helped me design the PERFECT ring for my style and our price budget. I asked her to contact my boyfriend to handle the financial details. He was gracious enough to follow through and my platinum engagement ring got made! He proposed to me with the other ring while the ring of my dreams was being made. Writing this made me realize I sound like a brat! But keep in mind that the ring was affordable and my FIANCE and I are 110% happy. My fiance and I are so thankful for Thi and her diligence. Without her I would have been stuck with a clunky ring that looked like a class ring with a diamond on top. Words could not express our appreciation. She was very timely and professional. Answered all of our questions and concerns. Anyone thinking about getting married or proposing should first talk to Thi, even if it's only to ask questions about rings. Customized rings that are actually affordable! What more can a girl ask for? Just in case any of the girls out there was curious. I ended up with a cushion cut diamond surrounded by brilliant round diamonds and a thin platinum band with brilliant round diamonds as well. I am not sure on the price, but I know it was under $10k, and appraised for over $15k. You can also contact her at simplicithi@gmail.com

We hosted our wedding here in September, and from the first tour, we knew there was no better…read moresetting. The venue itself is stunning- light-filled, elegant, and perfectly positioned overlooking the bay. It offered everything we were looking for aesthetically and logistically. Overall sentiment: This is a gorgeous venue that makes an incredible first impression. However, the experience with the venue's coordination and communication didn't live up to the beauty of the space. If you're detail-oriented or able to stay on top of planning logistics yourself, you can absolutely make it work, but if you're hoping for hands-on, consistent support from the venue team, you may want to budget for extra help. 2) Pros Beautiful location: The ceremony site overlooks the bay between palm trees, truly breathtaking and perfect for photos (though note in Sept the grass was pretty brown/dead- it's maintained by the city of San Diego, not the Point). Gorgeous interior: The reception space is full of natural light, with beautiful wooden tables (no need for linens) and a chandelier draped with greenery and lights, which helped us save on décor and flowers. Flexible vendor policy: We loved that we could choose our own caterer and bring in our own alcohol, this flexibility gave us creative control and helped manage costs. Spacious and well laid out: The venue comfortably fit around 150 guests, with smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. 3) Cons Customer service inconsistencies: Communication often lagged, and we had to double-check details multiple times to make sure nothing was missed. Frequent staff changes: Our main contact kept shifting. Different team members joined calls without being fully briefed, and we occasionally received conflicting information. Day-of coordination issues: We weren't introduced to our "day-of coordinator" until a week before the wedding. She left after our grand entrance and handed us off to someone we'd never met, which felt unprofessional and confusing. The event timeline fell behind, the grand entrance was delayed by about 30 minutes, and no one notified us so we could adjust. From that point on we were late on the whole timeline, and we ended up missing "golden hour" for sunset portraits. I wish she would have approached me at the scheduled time for the grand entrance to check in with me on making it happen. Last-minute changes: Floor plans were delayed several times, and even at the rehearsal, staff were suggesting new tweaks instead of finalizing details earlier. Parking challenges: Guest parking was extremely crowded, and we weren't warned this could be an issue, which led to confusion and delays. No bridal suite/bathrooms: There is no availabiltiy to get ready on site- they don't have a bridal suite and the bathroom is a small one toilet room, or a group of stalls shared by the Mission Bay Acquatic Center- you will have to get ready offsite and then sneak into the venue through the catering entrance in the parking lot. In summary: This is a truly beautiful venue. But the organizational side could use improvement. If you're someone who can stay on top of the details (or hire a planner to help), it's absolutely worth it for the setting. Just be prepared to take the lead on coordination to ensure your day runs smoothly.

Julie Castro was our event coordinator, and she is a true professional who knows her stuff. She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.
