A very special shoutout to our wedding coordinator, Irene, who was truly the best! Irene wasn’t just our coordinator—she was our angel in disguise. 🤍 She went above and beyond for us every step of the way, making sure every detail was taken care of and that our day went as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We are so incredibly lucky and thankful that we had her by our side throughout this entire journey. Her kindness, patience, support, and dedication meant more to us than words can express.

Because of Irene and the entire amazing team, we were able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every precious moment of our wedding day. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, the beautiful atmosphere, and how smoothly everything was handled.

We will forever be grateful for the memories created here and for the people who helped make our wedding day so magical. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an incredible team and a coordinator who will genuinely care about you and your special day, we highly recommend this place!

5 stars without a doubt! ❤✨ Irene, thank you for being our angel and for making our wedding dreams come true! We are forever thankful for you. 🤍”

“Mile Square Golf Course events shared my mom's 85th birthday with beautiful table setting with caring and polite staff, so we celebrated her 90th! Thank you for another memorable event!”

“Cute lil spot! This was my second time attending here for a movie.

They always have lots of cool contemporary independent films and lots of awesome throwback movies.”

“We had our wedding at the Chapel of Orange late September 2026. It was the best decision I had made! Cheryl and Melissa were amazing to work with and made our day very special! We live in Canada so the wedding package deals were great for us since we couldn’t be there in person. They provided a list of vendors for the flowers, hair/makeup and cake which we chose from and were extremely happy with our selection. The venue of the day was beautiful and we were so happy with how everything turned out! Highly recommended!”

“First time here. Admission price was reasonable ($5/kid and $15/adult. Every one in the family loves it! The kids love the interactive section where they got to sit in a cock pit of a WWII plane and the jeeps. All the planes and vehicles were very well maintained amd the place is clean and modern. There is also a little theatre that shows a short documentary on the p-51 mustang. My two year old cried when it was time to leave.”

“Fun place to practice! 1st time here and really loved it. Distance is marked with signs on the water, shaded area plus nice benches to sit on while waiting your turn.”

“My son and I have been coming to their classes and absolutely love them. Ms. Lisa (owner) and Ms. Stephanie are so wonderful and patient with the kids, you can tell they truly love what they do. It’s an amazing place for toddlers and preschoolers to learn, play, and be creative. Highly recommend the crafty storytime and kids theater classes. They also have character play dates with Ms. Rachel, Pokémon, superheroes, princesses, etc.. Every class is so thoughtfully put together! $60 per month for unlimited classes is an amazing deal. I believe your first class is free! Another perk is the free and ample parking. Close to Walmart and sprouts too :)”

“The Pacific Club is an outstanding private membership and business club with excellent food, attentive service, and a polished atmosphere for both professional and social gatherings. The dining is consistently high quality, and the staff is welcoming and professional. Beyond the business and dining experience, the club’s gym and two restaurants are great side benefits that make membership even more valuable.”

“An absolute gem for car lovers!
I recently visited the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, and my mind was completely blown. The collection is phenomenal, featuring everything from multimillion-dollar rare Ferraris and sleek Lamborghinis to iconic movie cars like the Batmobile and KITT from Knight Rider. It feels like exploring someone’s ultimate private garage. The facility is incredibly clean, and the staff is super welcoming and full of great stories. Best of all, it operates as a non-profit benefiting at-risk youth. An awesome experience for a fantastic cause. I highly recommend stopping by!”

“Lovely experience the restaurant Ada in the museum was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer, it’s a good place to go and now with the quilt exhibit it should be fun!”

“American Legion Newport Beach is a wonderful place for veterans to connect. Our friends who are members invited us for dinner, so we got to check it out. They have a nice banquet hall that is also open to the public for weddings, receptions, and other events. The outside patio is a serene and beautiful dining area overlooking the water. Everyone was very friendly and nice.

*Calamari 5/5 - The calamari was nicely seasoned, crispy on the outside, and meaty on the inside. The portion was generous. The marinara sauce also had a nice spicy kick.

*Filet Mignon 3/5 - This came with filet mignon, mushrooms, fries, and coleslaw. The sauce was really sweet. I prefer my steak to be more on the savory side, so I didn’t really like this dish. The fries were good.

*Clam Chowder 4.5/5 - You know how in some clam chowders, the clams are so tiny you can’t tell if they’re really there or if they’re just potato pieces? Well, not these. The clams were meaty and succulent. The chowder was overall very good, just a bit salty for me.”

“A great time with warm, welcoming people and wonderful music. A truly special car community gathers here at Highway 39 every third Sunday of the month—except in November, when it’s held on the second Sunday.
In November, they host a fantastic fundraiser for children. Bring a unwrapped gift, you receive a ticket for In-N-Out Burger. It’s an amazing way to give back and enjoy a great community event.”

“We’ve had the opportunity to attend many events over the last couple years with Argaux and enjoy their broad wine collections from many regions across the world. The owners Margaux and Arden put so much care into their business and you can feel it from their genuine hospitality to the hand selected wines they share with their guests. If you haven’t attended one of their classes, I highly would suggest as they are so informative and a great way to meet other like minded individuals who share a love for wine. All of their events are also so well put together, typically with private chef experiences in which their wines are paired with cuisine from the wines region to showcase the many tasting notes of the wine. Their event space is equally unique and a perfect location for any type of team bonding experience.”

“We have been here twice for birthday celebrations. What a great venue! Lots of room, excellent service staff, nice dance floor, audiovisual setup good…..all in all a very nice place to hold events.”

“Phil was fantastic, entertaining and a gracious educator. We came with a party of four, completely new to the process and loved every minute of it! We will be back with friends. So worth the drive!”

“Another wonderful free Tuesday Night Dance yesterday. This time, the dance is line dancing. And can you not believe that they are selling drinks! Come early, grab some liquid encouragement, and stay for the free event.”

“The New Port Theater is a charming and elegant venue, perfect for intimate weddings and private events. The vintage architecture combined with modern amenities provides a seamless blend of style and functionality. We appreciate how the space supports creative catering options, from stations to plated dinners. Selena and their attentive staff make it easy for planners to deliver a flawless events.”

“Arturo was very good to us when checking in! He made sure we had an excellent room and we had some drinks at the bar. So far, a great experience. Anna also checked on us today. They are very accommodating and the rooms are lovely. We appreciate the retro vibe and the LP Player.??”

“I can't say enough great things about Axis Research & Technologies! We had a last-minute change to our plans, and their team managed to completely pivot and accommodate everything within just 12 hours. That kind of flexibility and responsiveness is incredibly rare.

From start to finish, the staff was friendly, attentive, and kept communication clear and consistent throughout. We always knew exactly what was happening and felt genuinely taken care of.

If you're looking for a team that truly goes above and beyond, look no further. Without a doubt, I highly recommend!”

“The room was kinda destroyed the restroom door was 2 colors. For the price that you have to pay and the valet 60 dollars a night. It’s a bit over priced the breakfast tasted like re cooked food too . But the service is good.”

“We held a 70th birthday celebration with 72 guests at the inner courtyard. It was the height of a local heat wave and the event was set for noon. The staff did everything they could to keep us comfortable using strategically located patio umbrellas and fans. They even offered the use of an air-conditioned room for guests who needed relief from the heat.
The celebration was a great success because the food was good, the staff was helpful, and Inner Courtyard made for a wonderful setting. I highly recommend this venue for events.”

“Go to this location for alot of family events. My cousin is a member so able to go. Accommodations for large events and cocktails are cheap. Parking is challenging.”

“We're from NorCal visiting Orange County and decided to take a day to visit a few stationery shops to look at fountain pen ink. We discovered this shop on Google, and I think this was the best stop on our trip.

First off, the workers are simply a joy. They were both knowledgable, and friendly.

Second, M.Lovewell had the best selection of fountain pen inks from Asia we've ever seen. (Apologies to the two Mai-do locations in SF's Nihonmachi and Santana Row in San Jose, but you've been definitively dethroned!) M.Lovewell had enough ink to fill 4 separate swatch books. Not everything was in stock, but we understand that inks can be like that, especially from smaller companies that produce inks in batches on a rotating schedule.

That being said, being able to actually see inks as opposed to browsing pictures on the internet is really the way to go. Photos are extremely unreliable when it comes to color. Several inks I was interested in turned out to look vastly different in person, and others I had no interest in ended up coming home with me.

We left with twice as many inks as we set out to buy, no regrets.

Tip: Use your phone to take photos of the ink swatch cards you are interested in before going to the counter. It's the quickest way to have the brand and ink names, along with a color reference for the staff. There are hundreds of inks and finding them again inside the swatch books can be time consuming.”

“What a hidden historical gem in Orange County!

It's a large area and you feel like you have stepped 130 years back in history when you you walk through the iron gates into the museum area.

The Kellogg House is preserved exactly like it was over a hundred years ago when the family lived in it. This staircase in it is amazing, and the house layout is very interesting, including the third mezzanine layer.

The Maag house is being restored, and it needs a lot of work. So feel free to make a donation either online or in person ?.

There's also a living breathing blacksmith shop where they provide the ongoing training, and they also do presentations at events.

Behind the blacksmith shop there's a farm trail, where they have farm equipment spread along the trail, along with descriptions.

The Farm trail loops around and ends up by the gold mine.

All in all, it's a nice way to spend a few hours and to feel like you're back in the late 1800s or early 1900s, with all the plants and Greenery surrounding your.

As soon as you walk out into the parking lot, you are in the Santa Ana industrial area, with a school on the other side?”

“We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience than what we had at Fête the Venue. From the moment we first toured the venue to the very end of our wedding night, every detail was handled with such professionalism, care, and genuine kindness. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking — elegant, romantic, modern, and beautifully designed in every way. Our guests could not stop talking about how stunning everything looked.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Every service they provided was seamless and exceeded our expectations. The communication, coordination, organization, and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel stress-free and exciting. They made us feel supported every step of the way and truly cared about making our vision come to life.

On our wedding day, everything flowed perfectly, allowing us to actually enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. The atmosphere they created was magical, intimate, and unforgettable. They turned one of the most important days of our lives into something even more beautiful than we ever imagined.

If you are looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and an amazing experience from start to finish, Fête the Venue is truly unmatched. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to create the wedding of their dreams. Five stars is honestly not enough!”

“I came here with a group of friends and we had an amazing time. The rooms are modern, spacious, and very clean. The sound quality is excellent, making the singing experience much more enjoyable. The staff provided outstanding service and made sure we had everything we needed. The prices are affordable, and the overall atmosphere feels classy and welcoming. I would definitely come back for future celebrations.”

“Went to boat show and it was nice. I thought they would have more boats but all good. Everyone there was eager to help no and not just the boat salesman. Took they're time explained everything and was very patient. Thank you.”

“I had my wedding here on 10.24.25 and it was the most magical day ever! Kathleen was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. She was so easy to get along with, thoughtful, and considerate (especially of our budget). I walked away from each of our meetings feeling at ease. Kathleen's knowledge and expertise working weddings especially with the type of guests we had was so helpful. We received so many compliments from our guests (young and old!) saying the venue staff was very accommodating and food being delicious! Everyone was so happy to bring home all the leftovers. There are lots of wedding venues out there, and going with Mon Cheri was truly the best decision we made for our selves. I will keep recommending Mon Cheri to everyone because of our unforgettable experience.”

“We were visiting this Elks Lodge and stayed in their RV area for 3 nights.
Everyone was warm, welcoming and helpful. We hung out at their Tiki Bar and so many members came over the introduced themselves to us. We spent hours talking with everyone.
We really enjoyed our stay and are very thankful they offer the RV parking and dump station.

Unfortunately we missed Mexican Monday but heard it was amazing.

Thank you for the warm welcome!”

“Our nonprofit, Wells of Revival, has been renting the warehouse out weekly since August of 2024 for worship and prayer nights, and it's been amazing ! We couldn't ask for a better venue. The owners are so kind and worked together with us to ensure the room is always set up ahead of time. Its a beautiful space and the photos online don't do it justice.”
