“I had an excellent experience with Ron and the So Cal Classic Car Storage team. From start to finish, the car sale transaction was completely seamless. Ron was extremely responsive, informative, gracious, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. I truly felt like I was in great hands and making the right purchase. I highly recommend Ron and his team to anyone looking for a smooth, trustworthy, and professional classic car buying experience. Thanks again Ron!!”

“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!”

“Stopped at the Whoop Axe in Lake Forest on our way up to LA and had a blast. Our coach Patrick did a phenomenal job and kept us laughing the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Pump It Up made my little boy’s 5th birthday so special! Clean space, tons of fun, and very friendly staff. They handled everything and made it so easy for us. Perfect party spot!”

“We had our wedding at Franciscan Gardens on October 23rd, 2025, and I could not imagine a more perfect venue! This place is truly a hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano. It is so green and lush that our wedding colors popped in the most beautiful way. I kept my décor very simple, but with the pergola, the fountains, and the natural beauty of the garden, everything looked magical and elegant without needing much at all.

The bridal suite was wonderful. It stocked with water, a mini fridge, and plenty of space. We had a large bridal party, seven on each side (14 total), and we all fit comfortably. It was such a sweet setup for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready.

The flow of the venue was seamless. Transitioning guests from the courtyard ceremony to the indoor cocktail area and then back outside for the reception was smooth and made the night feel so easy and enjoyable for everyone.

And the staff, just incredible. They checked on us throughout the day, made sure we had drinks, and were so kind and attentive. Their hospitality made us feel so cared for.

Franciscan Gardens is romantic, elegant, and truly breathtaking. If you’re looking for a venue that feels intimate, lush, and timeless, this is the place. Highly recommend.”

“This seems like a newer property that has been kept in good repair since new. Everything in the room worked exactly as it should, and the attendant, Rosario, was clearly proud of her work, as this room was spotless when I checked in and everything worked as it should. Even the clock was set to the correct time, and I can’t remember how many times I’ve walked into a hotel room to find the clock was off by hours. I’d stay here again without hesitation!”

“10/10 place to stay whenever I am in Irvine. Mimi,Jalen and Alana at the front desk are awesome and asset to the hotel. The oversized bedroom and suites and the daily breakfast.”

“Fantastic gym with great facilities, a wide variety of routes and very knowledgeable, friendly coaches! My daughter is a competitive climber so we did a lot of research before choosing Aesthetic Climbing gym. Trevor, the owner, is super responsive and welcoming. My daughter enjoyed their youth team training and she also highly recommends private sessions with Coach Andres, who competes in the World Cup. If you’re into climbing, definitely come to Aesthetic Climbing Gym!”

“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!”

“ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC EVENING OF CELEBRATION! The DPYC was the perfect venue for our son's wedding last weekend. The layout of the venue was great for our large group. Everyone was able to mingle and enjoyed the delicious food. The entire staff were professional and genuinely kind. They happily worked together and I watched them help the elderly guests by holding their plates while in line at the buffet. The bar staff, specifically Jimmy, Scott & John worked hard throughout the evening and helped make sure our guests had a great time. Max the manager was a gem to work with. It was a great evening thanks to the staff at the beautiful venue. I would highly recommend the DPYC for any private event.”

“Awesome organization. Friendly people and wonderful examples of people who love volunteering to benefit the community. I recently volunteered at the Elk Ladies Fashion Show which is so popular within the community that tickets sold out in record time! Everyone was happy and worked together as a team. I highly recommend this organization.”

“There is NO BETTER place to get married than Coto Valley! And when you do, make sure you bring on Angela as your Day Of Coordinator.

The venue is perfect, with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating during reception/dinner/dancing. There's tons of indoor space, making for an easy rain contingency plan.

The ceremony site is also beautiful with natural greenery and flower bushes. Our floral budget was $0! No spending thousands on a floral arch! We just used the beauty of this site!

The whole building is full of built-in character, so you'll need little to no decor. But if you DO need decor, Angela maintains a closet of leftover wedding decor that you can repurpose for your own celebrations at no additional cost. Our decor budget was close to $0 for this reason, yet we had so many beautiful tea lights, artificial flowers, signs and trinkets all available to us!

And Angela...what more can we say about her. She just gets it. She has a calm demeanor and puts you at ease with quiet confidence. She knows when to let the couple be themselves, and then she also knows when to weigh in with great opinions that just magnify the couple's ideas to the next level.

If you have an idea, Angela makes it happen! Our day had so many moving parts: a luau complete with whole pig, Vietnamese lion dancers and even a drone show! Angela acted like it was all a piece of cake!

Our wedding day was PERFECT, and the guests said it was the best wedding ever. They were right — it was. And that's all thanks to Coto Valley Country Club + Angela!”

“I don't even know how to begin about how much I LOVE Marbella. We got married here in November and it was the most perfect venue from beginning to end. The day we looked at the space with Kaile Watters we knew it was perfect. Every single thing leading up to the wedding was so easy, elegant, and well taken care of. Kaile is a dream come true to work with, truly. The whole staff went above and beyond to create such a beautiful and memorable wedding day for us. I could go on and on. The fact that nearly everything is taken care of in house made things SO easy for us: picking all the linens, chairs, designing the layout, coming up with signature drinks, etc. The menu tasting was such an incredible experience and people still can't stop talking about how delicious the food was day of! Marbella has so much natural beauty and the space could really be utilized in so many ways to create what you're looking for in a venue. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner outside and moved the dancing indoors so we could keep the party going through midnight. If you're thinking about this location for your wedding, I promise, it's the right choice! Thank you to every single person who made this day memorable for us. And a huge thank you to Kaile Watters, you are a gem!”

“What a lovely space. It was great a Maison... and now the Cafe has taken up the torch of delicious food, great service, and a wonderful space.The food is a treat. The sweets are amazing.And all served with a smile by a great staff.Highly recommend ?”

“We just spread our father’s ashes at sea on the Curlew. The ship was beautiful and the crew was so kind and professional. The experience was beyond what we could have expected and exactly what our dad would have loved. We will remember this forever. We highly recommend this experience to memorialize a loved one.”

“Lucky Strike Aliso Viejo has been the perfect summer hangout for our family! The Summer Season Pass was such a great deal and gave us an easy go-to activity all summer long. The facility is clean, comfortable and has such a fun atmosphere for both kids and adults.

What really makes this location special, though, is the staff. Frank, Hannah, Holy, Ash, Shannon, Ashley and so many others consistently made us feel welcome every time we walked through the door. They are friendly, attentive and genuinely great with the kids.

Add in good food, plenty of fun and a team that makes you feel like a regular, and it’s hard to beat. From team parties and birthdays LS has been such a great addition to our city. We’ve made a lot of great summer memories here and will definitely be back!”

“I joined Aventura a few months ago and I can't be more impressed. I've learned so much about sailing! The staff and the members are all so welcoming. Aventura is truly an asset to the Dana Point Harbor. It brings a touch of class to our beach community!”

“PSA: BOOK YOUR WEDDING (or event) WITH ALISO VIEJO BY WEDGEWOOD WEDDINGS!!! You won't regret it, and we certainly do not. Our wedding day was absolutely magical - better than we could have ever dreamed or planned for. Speaking of planning, the wedgewood team was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. We toured the venue with Breanna, worked with Sierra on all of the details and planning, and Maya and Kimberlyn helped answering questions when we'd call and text - the entire staff were really there for us every step of the way and we loved working with them all. Not only were they super helpful, detailed, and organized, but also so kind and so fun to work with! We feel incredibly lucky and grateful. Day of the wedding, Sierra (day of coordinator) and Lily (banquet captain) went above and beyond to ensure our special day was absolutely perfect. They were so awesome that even our guests were commenting on how sweet they both were! That made us so happy to hear. The all-inclusive concept made our lives SO much easier and the best part is that their preferred vendors were so awesome too. Shout-out to the gals at Little Hill Floral Design, Rachel at DJ Maestro, and It's All About the Cake. They also have recommended vendors for everything else you may want or need! Found my hair & makeup crew and our celloist through their recommendations. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW STUNNING THIS VENUE IS?! As is its so gorgeous - the ceremony site was in full bloom for our April wedding, the patio for cocktail hour overlooks the Saddleback mountains, and the indoor reception space comes adorned with twinkle lights and some draping that was just magical. The entire rest of the venue is warm and inviting, literally so beautiful and our guests could not stop telling us how lovely everything looked and felt. What else can I say other than THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your team helped our dream come true. Sharing some photos from our beautiful day.”

“Went for bingo night it was a great time. We had never been there before everybody was extremely outgoing and nice! Also had never played bingo at an official bingo hall everyone was more then willing to help explain the rules and diffrent games. I definitely recommend!But get there early because it was packed.”

“I put together a surprise engagement party at this venue and it was exactly we were looking for. Jaimee was a delight to work with and coordination was smooth. She was very responsive and quick to respond.”

“I highly recommend Seven-Degrees for your next event. I work at a high school and we recently held Prom at Seven-Degrees. From start to finish, the experience was incredibly positive! Specifically, we worked with Kate as our Event Coordinator. She communicated effectively and always got back to us quickly when we had questions. On the night of the event, the staff was professional and kind to our students. Kate and her team went out of their way to meet the needs of our school and students. We are very grateful for our experience at Seven-Degrees.”

“As a wedding photographer, working at Plaza de Magdalena has been an incredible experience! This stunning venue offers an array of picturesque spots just steps away for capturing the perfect moments. The ambiance is truly magical, making it a dream setting for couples on their special day.

What truly sets Plaza de Magdalena apart, however, is their exceptional catering staff and banquet manager. They are not only professional but also incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything runs smoothly, allowing me to focus on getting the best shots. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of the event.

I highly recommend Plaza de Magdalena for any couple looking for a beautiful venue paired with top-notch service!”

“Great variety of collectible and wearable art set amidst the Cliffs Restaurant and its live evening entertainment. An evening tipsy shop owner with colorful language could not prevent me from having a wonderful memorable time! Actually she just added to the colorful experience of Laguna and the different ways to enjoy the experience of the arts.”

“While strolling through the Los Rios Historic District, I came across the Los Rios Cottages at 31766 Los Rios Street. Although I didn't stay there, the picturesque setting and charming architecture made it look like a fairytale retreat. Nestled in California's oldest continually inhabited neighborhood, these cottages offer a unique blend of history and tranquility. For those seeking a quaint getaway, the Los Rios Cottages seem like an enchanting choice.”

“This is a Ritz Carlton experience like no other. You get the standard a excellent service, if course: the over the top follow up, the constant recognition of you as a guest, the turndown service, the excellent food, etc. But above all that, this is possibly a top 10 location for a resort hotel anywhere in the world.

By the way, another item. These are the most comfortable beds I've experienced at any of the Ritz Carlton's I've stayed at.”

“We played lots of fun games at their arcade and the sweet Groupon deal made it even better! Took a break to have some tasty fries and appetizers from the bar in a cozy booth.”

“My wife and I recently had our wedding at this venue. The whole property is absolutely gorgeous to say the least. It made for such beautiful ceremony and photoshoot scenery. All of our guests would agree! The only issue we had is that the venue rules were a bit too strict and created many obstacles for us to make the perfect wedding. It did all work out in the end, but there were in my opinion many extra and senseless challenges along the way. The day of went very smoothly however and therefore, I am left with a mostly positive total experience.”

“This banquet hall was perfect for One Step Ministry's fundraising gala. The staff was amazing. The accomodations were top notch: the food was delicious and the location was perfect.”

“Seven 7 Seven is a modern and stylish event venue perfect for weddings, parties, and special occasions. The space is sleek and well-designed, providing a great backdrop for memorable events. Attentive staff and a professional approach make hosting here smooth and enjoyable.”
