Venues & Event Spaces in Costa Mesa, CA

“We saw the Wiz! It was awesome. Almost like being on Broadway.....almost. The cast can really belt out those songs. I sat there and imagined the original cast. It really was a good show.”

“If your child has any interest in gardening, nature, farming this place is a must go for the family! There are so many fun experiences for inquisitive children including some hands on experience. Highly recommend!”

“I was the planner at The Harper a few weeks ago and while this venue doesn’t require an outside planner— we all worked together perfectly! Their team was so attentive, kind, patient and easy to work with. We loved their team! Thank you guys for all your help. We had a blast for Madelyn & Chris wedding day :)”

“We hired Alyssa for a private tasting for 5 last week and she completely exceeded our expectations! We sampled a variety of different wines and talked trough the tasting notes/ regions/ properties of each. Alyssa brought with her an Argaux wine 101 guide which was amazingly helpful. We each learned so much- more than I learned traveling through Napa and I found a new favorite Pinot Noir. It was easily the highlight of our trip. If you’re in the area check them out for sure!”

“OC Fair & Event Center is a solid venue with a lot going on year-round. The space is large and well-organized, making it easy to navigate even during bigger events like the fair. There’s a good mix of food vendors, exhibits, and entertainment, so there’s something for everyone.

Parking can get crowded and a bit expensive during peak times, and lines for food or attractions can be long, but that’s pretty typical for popular events. Overall, it’s a fun, lively spot that’s great for families, date nights, or just getting out and doing something different.

Definitely worth checking out, especially during seasonal events.”

“We had our perfect wedding at Fete the Venue on 11/11/23 and we loved this venue! When I started to look for venues I fell in love with them immediately, but kept looking because I felt it was too good to be true to find a venue this quickly. But as I continued my search, I came to realize that it is too good, and it is true! Sarah was great to work with and she was our main contact at Fete. There were times where I would have to re-email her to get a response, but I had to do this with other vendors as well. Even with a few delayed responses, she was kind and professional. The Venue also made it easy to switch payment methods when needed. She gave us a lot of good recommendations and was so easy going and accommodating with a lot of our requests. She definitely wanted to make sure we had a great time. We had 9 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen and I felt we were able to fit in the Bride and groom's Suite just fine. We did also have parents, and vendors floating around too and it still felt comfortable. But more than that, maybe not haha. When we did our initial walk through with Sarah we saw the groom's suite and it was not bad, but ever since they updated it, I could not wait to get my husband in there and see all of the photos from the day! It is so sleek and just gorgeous. Any groom and his party would think it was perfect for them. I'm glad both parties were able to get perfect spaces. A few things I would bring to any bride and groom's attention about Fete is that they have some restrictions and requirements such as no fog machines, dry ice machines, no sparklers, and no shots at the bar. And if you would like a signature drink at your wedding, you HAVE to get the top drink package or pay for each signature drink individually. They state this is because the signature drink will most likely be the most popular drink (Which it may be) and they will need to buy more of the ingredients to comply with the demand. I understand this, just wish I would have known this prior. However, we still had the open bar and our guests were happy with the drinks and beers that were available. Also all vendors must sign a one time vendor agreement, and provide proof of insurance. Our hair and make-up artist were freelance and did not have insurance, but Sarah provided me with a web page to get a day of insurance for about $100-$120. Our Hair and make up artist were accommodating and we were able to get that easily taken care of. So if you have your dream vendor picked out but they are not insured, that is a conversation you will need to have with them, and another task to do. But most vendors will have likely run into this before so it wasn't an issue as they know the drill. With that being said, I understand as a business why they do this. But as the consumer, it is information to know to see if this is your perfect venue. Another piece of information is that Fete has a list of exclusive caters that they offer you to use, but if you decide to go with an outside caterer, they charge a $2,500 buy out fee. We did go with one of their exclusive caterers (All Above Catering), and we were more than happy with them. This venue and the exclusive caterer did not charge a service fee, which I think is huge. Outside caterers were quoting us thousands, and sometimes charging more than what was offered with Fete. So with the service fee from other caterers, and the buy out fee, it just made more financial sense to go with an exclusive vendor. Another reason to go wit an exclusive vendor is because you know they will work well with the venue and you can have the piece of mind that both vendors will keep the other in check. I will say we did spend a pretty penny on our entire wedding, and of course, food, drinks, and venue were a big chunk of that, but I wouldn't change a thing. After our wedding we were surprised to find a card in the mail a few weeks after our wedding from Fete with a thank you and congratulatory message. We thought that was so sweet and a nice touch. The venue is beautiful and they seem to always be making”

“Thank you to the amazing staff at the Costa Mesa Marriott. Had a 6 night stay and left some valuables in the safe . . . the staff was able to secure the items and I was able to pick it up the following day. Thank you all for your professionalism and honesty.”

“Rooms were extremely outdated, but customer service truly made up for that. Cleanliness especially in the bathrooms could improve but overall a decent, safe place to stay even with children.”

“I want to start off by saying. My partner is in a wheelchair and going to TIME nightclub has been one of our best experiences. Since being in a wheelchair, usually it's on us to figure out where to go and deal with situations ourselves. But when we went to the G eazy birthday bash, Our night was amazing. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and polite. They made sure to check in on them and see if they were doing well and if they were able to see the stage. Shout out to Ed and Selena for helping us feel safe and help my partner feel acknowledged and making sure we were going ro have a great time just like everyone else. Definitely one of our best experiences and would definitely be going ro future event there.

Wheelchair accessibility: There isn't a designated area. But there was a space to view the performance. Not the best view but still able to see.”
