Cary and I celebrated our wedding and reception on October 15, 2023 at the Avenue of the Arts. Kita and her team made us feel welcomed. From the taste testing to the actual event, and even the next morning with a complimentary champagne breakfast. Great service from the entire hotel staff! Thank you Kita!

AOA is a beautiful place to host a wedding reception. The venue itself is amazing. So many different areas to take wonderful photos from the main lobby, to the ballroom, to the lake, to their garden area. The ballroom also has a balcony overlooking the lake and adds such a good scenic spot to enjoy while enjoying drinks with loved ones. Monica was kind and helpful throughout the planning process and corresponded via email countless times and also met with us in person a number of times to ensure we had all our questions answered. She was pleasant to work with and responsive. She even did small things like get us boba drinks because we love them so much. There was a sudden weather change during our wedding day and she helped us manage the crisis well when having to relocate our cocktail hour from outdoors to indoors. The staff swiftly moved our decor and vendors indoors before the guests arrived and our guests still had an amazing time not even aware of the last minute location change. AOA's quick action and professionalism really helped made our wedding day everything we imagined and more.

My wife and I were married here last Friday. The communication between the management / staff and us was great. We were confident on every part of the event. They set up the ceremony & reception for you. They offer many choices of decorations. They are able to custom packages for the booking. We had a great wedding and were not stressed the day of due to the helpfulness of Kita, Cassie & our coordinator Cat. The wedding package includes a coordinator of your choice.

This is a beautiful venue that has an amazing wedding package that includes food, centerpieces, hotel reservations, and more. The lake provides a beautiful background for wedding photos and their dinner menu is tasty! Monica Pantaleon, their wedding coordinator, is amazing in her punctuality, organization, and reliability. She was very patient with us as we figured out the wedding details on our end and she was very accommodating to what we wanted for our special day.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Avenue of the Arts and their team. The venue was beautiful and elegant. It offers a gorgeous lakeside area for the ceremony + cocktail hour, and the grand ballroom for the dinner reception. So many of our friends later told us how much they loved our venue. It was also very convenient for our out of town guests, who stayed at the hotel for the weekend (everyone had wonderful things to say about their stay). We loved working with AoA's coordinator Monica, who is very professional, responsive, sweet and just amazing to work with. She was there for us from day one! We cannot ask for a better experience. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

My husband and I just got married here on NYE and absolutely loved it! From the first time we toured the venue to the last second of our reception, we felt like VIPs. Cassie was energetic, sweet, and knowledgeable during our tour so we booked it! After that we were in the amazing hands of Monica. She answered all of our questions quickly, provided suggestions when asked, and was determined to make sure the vision of our reception came true. We purchased one of the wedding packages where the cake was included (all amazing options, but we ultimately went with Susie Cakes) as well as a wedding month of coordinator (we went with Erikaâs Elegance, probably the best decision EVER). I have so many great things to say about both Susie Cakes and Erikaâs Elegance that I will be writing them a review too to share everything. The food was absolutely amazing and we still get guests from our wedding saying how they had the most fun at our wedding and the food was phenomenal, best food theyâve ever had at a wedding. My husband and I were catered to all throughout the night and felt like the king and queen. In a nutshell, definitely book your wedding with this venue if you want great good, good location, great staff, and all your guests to compliment you on how your wedding was awesome!

We had a wedding here on Oct. 22. We only had about 40 guests and they had just about a perfect sized ballroom for us. We decided to go with the highest priced menu. The food was soooo great. All the guests mentioned how good the food was. The bartender was fast enough to serve drinks without people waiting a long time. Servers were very friendly and professional as well. I have to mention Monica who was a wedding coordinator from Ave of the Art. She was amazing. She made everything happen. From ballroom wall cover to little details on our unity ceremony, she made all worked. Wedding day is already stressful day but she made me worry less and enjoy the day. Everything went as planned. Thanks to Monica. They also have a beautiful outdoor scenery which is a perfect pre-wedding photo. I would recommend everyone to Ave of the Art for their wedding.

I just donât know how to start writing here. The venue is very beautiful. We had 95 guests and it was perfect for us. I loved the lakeside cocktail area which is so modern. I loved the idea of having cocktail at different place than the ballroom area. All the staff here are so accommodating and professional. Our wedding reception looked very nice and gave very different vibe. All our friends loved the location. đ I have no words for how amazing Monica is. Right from day one to end she was there for everything. We planned our wedding in just 3 months and it was very hectic. But Monica made sure she is there no matter what. She took care of everything, literally everything . She went out of her way to help us make this as smooth as possible. The day of reception she was present for everything. She made sure I donât have mental breakdown too when one of the vendors did not arrive in time for setup. She is so sweet I cant stop talking about her. Thank you so much for making our wedding such a memorable one. đ

After visiting many venues, we decided Avenue of the Arts was the perfect venue for our special day. The space is absolutely beautiful and checked all the boxes of having the ceremony, reception, plenty of photo opps, and a place for our out of town guests all in one location. The entire catering staff was super helpful and we felt like we were in good hands the entire night. Everything was set up so beautifully and exactly as we had imagined, from the full ballroom draping, the table settings, lighting and dance floor. Our guests were raving about the event space, friendly staff, and food (surprisingly the potato leek soup was the favorite). Although Terri is the main events coordinator, Monica is now in charge of wedding events and she definitely proved that she is up for the challenge. Monica was quick to respond to any of our questions and really went beyond to make sure our special day went as smoothly as it could. A major hurdle for us was the 20+ mph winds on the day of and Monica was very communicative to remedy the situation. We ultimately moved the cocktail hour inside which worked out totally fine. We would like to thank Monica for making sure everything behind the scenes went as smoothly as possible. We highly recommend any couple to book Avenue of the Arts for their upcoming wedding or event. They will definitely take care of you.

Fantastic venue! They really take care of you and make sure everything goes smoothly on your special day. We originally had our wedding planned in 2020, but with the pandemic, they were very accommodating and let us change our wedding date to this past weekend for no extra charge. Every one of our guests loved the venue and commented on how beautiful it was. The whole package they offer was great and made things fairly easy. The vendors they work with were all fantastic. Having the ceremony, reception and being able to stay the night all in one place was such a great idea, I couldn't imagine having had my wedding any other way. Seriously the best ever.

Thank you Avenue of the arts and team ! You guys made our special day extra beautiful and memorable!

One of our favorite venues as wedding vendors and as hotel guests, we decided to have our own wedding here for our special day!We had a wonderful experience working with Avenue of the Arts in Costa Mesa. We loved the venue that offered the best of both worlds as we had our cocktail hour outdoors in the beautiful Garden Retreat and our dinner reception indoors in the Grand Ballroom. All of our guests also stayed at the hotel the entire weekend and the convenience and accommodations of the venue and the venue location was a perfect match for our wedding guests.We worked with Terri throughout the booking and planning process, and she did a great job as our venue coordinator on the day of the wedding. The entire catering and event staff was wonderful from start to finish and we felt so well taken care of. Our guests also enjoyed the same type of wonderful experience and we heard so many compliments about the venue service, food, and overall compliments of the hotel staff, banquet and events staff, and the event space.The catering menu and bar menu was personalized to all our needs, and we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding food. Everything was set up so beautifully from the pipe and drape, chairs and tables, dance floor and lighting, with no detail missed. We felt so confident and comfortable with how much Terri and her staff did to take care of us and our guests. I would highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a welcoming and casual boutique hotel, that is also glamorous and modern for a beautiful wedding day.Both my husband and I are in the wedding industry and we've worked with so many venues -- this is a hidden gem and one of our absolute favorites. We can't wait to host another personal event with Avenue of the Arts soon!\"

My husband and I had a wedding at Avenue of the Arts on 09/18/2021. Having a wedding in the midst of Covid-19 breakout wasn't easy, but with the help of the Avenue team, we were able to have our dream wedding! Words cannot express how grateful we are for the director, Terri and our coordinator, Cat! We've worked with other wedding venues and their coordinators, but Terri & Cat went above and beyond to help us to achieve what we wanted. Many vendors tend to neglect the couples once the payment has been received, but Terri and Cat showed us professionalism and best quality of service all throughout the process. To those who are shopping for venues, we definitely recommend checking Avenue of the Arts out!

We have chosen Avenue of the Arts as a venue for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Terri, venue event coordinator, made sure that the entire process was smoothless, pleasant and memorable - starting from site touring, booking, menu tasting, and finishing with a rehearsal and assisting during the wedding day itself. The stuff here is very professional, everybody from servers to audio tech provided outstanding service. During menu tasting we met with the chef who customized the menu per our dietary restrictions (vegan option was delicious). The venue itself has a very scenic setup by the lake, there are plenty of locations for wedding photos with various textures and backgrounds (fountains, succulent walls, bridge, flower beds, etc). The ceremony site has small steps like amphitheater but straight, so the guests who sit in the last rows, can see the altar unobstructed. The altar was set up right by the lake which created serene atmosphere.We would like to thank Terri and stuff for making our Big Day as amazing as it was for us. Our guests complimented the hors d'oeuvres and the drinks, as well as the main course. We highly recommend Avenue of the Arts if you are looking to host your event in OC - this place is great and people who work here are a pleasure to work with.

I am so meticulous with communication exchange and Terri is an absolute best in this area. She is so quick to respond to our emails and queries which to me was so important because it shows a sense of urgency on all things. She is so easy to talk to and is so accommodating. The staff is amazing! Everyone is so keen to giving you the best customer experience ever. The place is perfect. All of my guests are so impressed about how beautiful this hotel is - their lakeside area and the garden area where we had our reception are perfect. The packages could not be overlooked, too. They offer very competitive rates with so many inclusions. We couldn't be happier about choosing this place. It was totally worth it!

Sara worked with our wedding planner, caterer and other vendors to make sure our wedding ran seamlessly. The day went by so quickly but we never had to worry about coordinating with vendors or making decisions since everything was so well thought out between Sara and our wedding planner. What really stood out is when we finally returned to our room after the reception, we had some food packed up for us eat, champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and a nice arrangement of rose petals on the bed.

When we first contacted the venue through The Knot, we received a message from Sara Cargill. She was extremely responsive and immediately provided us with available days to tour the venue. When meeting Sara in person, she was professional and approachable. She provided us with a detailed information guide about the venue and provided us with an in-depth tour of the venue. We fell in love! Over the many months of working with Sara, she was very accommodating to all our requests and was always extremely helpful. No question was too small. We had our tasting and planning meeting with her, and she was always on top of everything. It was so nice that we had her on our team because she made us feel calm during the entire wedding process. We made Sara aware of some of the concerns that arose with our wedding planner from Leilani Weddings. Leilani Weddings was one of the wedding planners that was included with our contract with Avenue of the Arts. Sara reassured us that she would personally make sure that everything went smoothly on the day of our wedding. We trusted her and she did not let us down on this promise. The food on the day of our wedding was delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests. The venue also provides you with three cake vendors to choose from as part of our contract. We chose SusieCakes and also received high praises from our guests on the cake. Sara and team arranged the cake delivery from SusieCakes, which went very smoothly! The ceremony site and reception were decorated perfectly, all our color and style choices were exactly what we requested. The Avenue of the Arts waiters and bartenders were extremely nice, always offering us drinks and routinely checked in to see if we needed anything. We had a number of guests who traveled from out of town for our wedding. Our guests loved the hotel rooms, especially the fancy wooden floors. We also loved our honeymoon suite! We had some guests extend their stay and enjoy photos outside by the lake and by the pool as itâs the perfect backdrop for photos.We also had our brunch at the Symphony Room inside Avenue of the Arts the next day. The food was extremely delicious, and all of our style/flower requests were also followed. The staff was also polite and accommodating.We would definitely recommend Avenue of the Arts to anyone getting married!

The ceremony site and reception were decorated perfectly, all our color and style choices were exactly what we requested. The Avenue of the Arts waiters and bartenders were extremely nice, always offering us drinks and routinely checked in to see if we needed anything. We had a number of guests who traveled from out of town for our wedding. Our guests loved the hotel rooms, especially the fancy wooden floors. We also loved our honeymoon suite! We had some guests extend their stay and enjoy photos outside by the lake and by the pool as itâs the perfect backdrop for photos.We also had our brunch at the Symphony Room inside Avenue of the Arts the next day. The food was extremely delicious, and all of our style/flower requests were also followed. The staff was also polite and accommodating.We would definitely recommend Avenue of the Arts to anyone getting married!

Best wedding venue!We checked out several venues in OC and immediately fell in love with Avenue of the Arts hotel. We knew it was the one for my daughter's wedding. The facility is beautiful, from the lakeside ceremony to the reception in the Grand Ballroom. The staff is friendly and professional. The cost was very reasonable in comparison to other venues, and the food is soooo gourmet and delicious! Everything exceeded our expectations. All of our guests had such a great time and love the Avenue of the Arts hotel. Sarah Cargill, the Wedding Coordinator for this hotel was very professional & thorough in helping us make this event memorable . Thanks Sarah! âĄ

Avenue of the Arts gave me my dream wedding.I will be the first to admit that I was a very picky bride. I had a particular vision that required what I worried would be an unreasonable level of attention to detail. Avenue of the Arts exceeded my expectations every step of the way and pulled off a flawless experience for me and my guests. This venue is perfect if you are looking for an all-inclusive, beautiful venue that can accommodate your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one convenient location. I chose to host my ceremony indoors rather than outside by the lake, and Avenue of the Arts was more than willing to accommodate this request. Sara Cargill and her team will work with you to design an experience all your own, and I cannot thank them enough for the work they did for me. I highly recommend this venue!

When we were looking for a venue, I as a bride wanted to have an outdoor wedding, but we have to consider different factors such as convenience for our guests. Stumbling into Avenue of the Arts Hotel is perfect. It is very convenient for my guests (accommodation, indoor reception so that they won't be freezing cold by night time) and I can have my outdoor wedding ceremony (has fountain and wonderful forest like area). Another thing that we are particular is the food. We want our guests to enjoy the food that is served on the wedding day and it did. The food was great. They had the same taste when we had our food tasting. The wedding suite was beautiful. It was prepared so well. The staff (especially the person who was assigned to us during the cocktail and reception making sure me and my fiancé (then) have everything we need such as water, wine) is awesome, very respectful. We couldn't ask for more. What made us decide to choose this venue even more is Sara, she is the social catering manager of the hotel. Sara is amazing. She is friendly, she made us feel at ease, and she made the whole process very easy. Avenue of the arts is lucky to have her. We had a great experience and we are happy that we chose this venue in one of the most important moment in our life.

The honeymoon suite is gorgeous as well. The ballroom is very spacious and has a beautiful backdrop that came with our package. The service and meal packages provided were amazing.

We chose Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa as our ceremony location and couldn't be happier with the venue and service. The hotel is beautiful both inside and out.. so many places for photos. Our ceremony was supposed to be outdoor by their lake. However, our wedding day, it poured! Luckily they had a back up plan, and was able to move us to a room inside the hotel. Their Symphony room was beautiful and looks great on photos! After the ceremony, there were a lot of places indoor that we could do photos with our bridal party and family. I was so glad because that was my biggest concern since we could not go outside. Avenue of the Arts has an amazing and caring team. Sara Cargill was our coordinator and she is fantastic at her job. She is responsive and professional from start to finish and was always there when I needed her. Thank you for turning what could've been a stressful day into a magical one!

I don't really like to write reviews, but I just had to for Avenue of the Arts in Costa Mesa. First of all, big applause to Sara for making my wedding happen in less than 3 months. Everyone thought I was crazy about having a wedding right after I got engaged, but all I wanted was a winter themed wedding. Sara was the only one that believed in me and assured me that she can make this happen. She went above and beyond and made sure every little detail was checked off the list. She worked with my vision and tried to accommodate me as much as possible from start to finish. On the day of the wedding, everything was a blur (waking up early, getting ready, making sure all bridal parties are ready to go, pictures with photographers, etc. trust me, it's just goes by so quick!). As I walked into the ceremony, everything was just so beautiful. I wanted a winter, but cozy ceremony. There were heat lamps for the guests all around and blankets for them. Decorations were on point and I have provided sparklers for everyone, which everyone sparked up as my husband and I finally said our \"I do's\" and walked out. It was just magical. Food was amazing from cocktail hour as well as the dinner meal. I had people raging about the food! Usually, food at weddings tend to be on the mediocre side, but not at Avenue of the Arts. It was so delicious! Reception was beautiful and more than I have dreamed of from the flower vases, the plating, chairs, and draping. I had so much fun, maybe a little too much fun. The hotel staffs were continuously checking up on me and made sure all my needs were fulfilled. Trust me, you will love working with this venue! It made my whole wedding experience so easy and smooth sailing!

Let me start off by saying that it took me far too long to write a review for all wedding related items.Our process with AotA started with me spotting the venue on The Knot & then thinking we probably wouldn't be able to have it there. In my need to see EVERY option for the wedding, I booked us an appointment.We were originally helped out by Dy (no longer at AotA) in January/February 2017. She met us, gave us a wonderful run down and tour of the area, and said she can work with us best she can. We were already blown away by how perfect the venue was for the size of our wedding, the convenience of this location, and everything there was to offer for a wedding ceremony and reception AND a hotel for the guests to stay, all in one easily accessible location!In April, I was called one day by Sara (Cargill), who was friendly and cheerful to let us know that Dy was no longer with AotA (oh no!!!) and that she would be taking care of us. Originally, I started to fret, but after meeting Sara and talking to her multiple times, my then fiance and I were very confident and happy that things would go smoothly (and they did).Sara worked with us with all our emails, questions, phone calls, and meetings to get us settled in with our tasting, the BEO, and the overall run down! She is patient when you change your mind, but also very easy to work with. Her friendly demeanor made this stressful and fun time of our life wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sara!The venue was also a great location. It is close to South Coast Plaza and John Wayne Airport. There are shuttles available to and from the airport, which was a highlighting point for us to select the location. Most of our guests, probably 85% or more and including our immediate family (parents and siblings) were traveling from northern California or outside of the state. The sheer convenience factor on our guests made this location a prime candidate in us choosing to get married here.The only downside was the construction behind the wedding site, which was scheduled to be completed last year, as we were originally told, but was not completed until this year. It is beautiful now and we could barely see it in any photos and fortunately it did not detract from the beauty of our wedding ceremony location.The cocktail and reception were also wonderful. We had Edgar and Jorgue taking care of us (bride & groom) to make sure everything went smoothly after Sara handed us off to them. A HUGE shout out to the both of them for ensuring that we were taken care of on the very stressful, but happy day. The catering team was on point! The rest of the staff was wonderfully accommodating even after the wedding. Apparently our guests had the hotel reopen the kitchen for a really late meal of eggs & tomatoes fairly late into the night. One of the funniest stories I heard about our wedding night! Thank you for doing this AotA!Lastly, we have guests to this day, almost 1 year later, telling us that our wedding was the best one they've been to, and they have been to a lot, especially my husband's side of the family. Lots of weddings and large weddings, so it was definitely a huge compliment hearing that ours was at the top of their favorites! You will not regret having your wedding here! I would do it again here or plan another party here in a future date (thinking about it for my 30th birthday!). I am in love with AotA!Thank you again Avenue of the Arts for the PERFECT wedding. :)

My wife and I got married here in November 2017. We had the most beautiful wedding, all of our friends and family are always telling us they had an amazing time. We had a few meetings before our big day to talk about details and preferences. Our tasting meeting was very personalized, we tried everything we wanted, in the end it was difficult to make a decision because everything was delicious! Sara, our coordinator was very helpful and excellent at communicating with us! She listened to all of our requests and made it happen. The banquets staff were beyond exceptional! Chris and Rogelio took care of our every need, leading up to and the day of our wedding. Their staff did an amazing job setting up, serving us and our guests, and never leaving anyone asking for more. We keep saying we want to do it all over again because we loved it so much. It was comforting to know that all we had to do was show up and know everything would work out as intended.Definitely consider this as your wedding venue if you're looking for a beautiful venue, professional staff, delicious food, great connections with vendors, all for a reasonable price.

My wife and I got married here in November 2017. We had the most beautiful wedding, all of our friends and family are always telling us they had an amazing time. We had a few meetings before our big day to talk about details and preferences. Our tasting meeting was very personalized, we tried everything we wanted, in the end it was difficult to make a decision because everything was delicious! Sara, our coordinator was very helpful and excellent at communicating with us! She listened to all of our requests and made it happen. The banquets staff were beyond exceptional! Chris and Rogelio took care of our every need, leading up to and the day of our wedding. Their staff did an amazing job setting up, serving us and our guests, and never leaving anyone asking for more. We keep saying we want to do it all over again because we loved it so much. It was comforting to know that all we had to do was show up and know everything would work out as intended.Definitely consider this as your wedding venue if you're looking for a beautiful venue, professional staff, delicious food, great connections with vendors, all for a reasonable price.

We had our wedding in October of 2017 at this venue. The venue itself is gorgeous and has some very pretty photo opportunities. We had our ceremony outside by the lake and it was a beautiful romantic setting. At the time of the wedding my only complaints were walking out to the ceremony area through damp grass and dirt making it hard to get out to the walkway and it made everyoneâs shoes dirty. The other thing was I had a little over 100 guests and there wasnât enough seating and the seating was also pretty cramped. Hopefully theyâve resolved these issues Since then. My other gripe was with the wedding planner, I wonât name her because Iâm not in the business of ruining anyoneâs career. Maybe she had a bad day or her staff cut out on her last minute but I was upset and disappointed in what I was promised versus what I got from her. She was asking me about things she should have been handling DAYS before the wedding, we had no one with us in the suite before the wedding, barely had any contact with us on the day of and was trying to send my photographer downstairs to fetch people for pictures and also didnât instruct her staff to do the sign in book correctly. She also threw away our wedding cake and then told me she thought I told her to do that...unbelievable. For the most part she laid out everything that I asked for in the reception area so Iâll give her that but it didnât help that her attitude sucked when I complained about only SOME of those things. The women that you will work with at the venue are wonderful and also very professional and tried to resolve anything I spoke to them about. The venue aside from those couple of ceremony things, was elegant, clean and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely get married at avenue of the arts again if I had a choice...Iâd just choose another one of their wedding planner vendors.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is so friendly! We just had our ceremony and reception here on 7/7 and I could not have asked for a better venue! The hotel is very stylish and almost everything is purple which I absolutely love since it is my favorite color! Weddings here are a bit pricey, but honestly you get what you pay for. They have two separate ceremony sites you can choose from and both are absolutely beautiful. One is a little nested garden area for a more intimate feel and the other is out by the lake. I had my ceremony by the lake and the building next door was doing construction leading up to my wedding, but Sara was very very good at keeping me informed on changes in the construction time line and everything. They have a very fancy menu to choose from. A lot of my guests told us they would expect our dinner at a 5 star restaurant not a wedding. Their package includes an hour of hosted bar for the cocktail hour and appetizers so your guests have a little treat while you do your post ceremony photos. It also includes wine service with dinner, coffee service after dinner and your wedding cake! The staff treats you like royalty the night of your wedding and Sara is oh so delightful to work with! Everything here was perfect!

Throughout the 7 months of working with AOTA, we experienced clear communication, friendliness, and timeliness. Our questions were always answered clearly and the staff were as lenient as they could be when small changes came up. All of our interactions with Sara Cargill and Carly Stein were positive and helpful leading up to the big day. The reception itself was everything we had hoped for and more. The ambiance of the facility exceeded our expectations, our guests enjoyed great food, and the staff at AOTA took care of everything behind the scenes so that we could just enjoy our wedding reception.

My now husband and I fell in love with AOA immediately after seeing the venue. We love the chic interior design especially the garden retreat. We love it so much that we were willing to cut down our 300 guest list to fit into their 220 guest ballroom. The catering manager Sara was great to work with. Not only was she nice, she was quick to response and accommodated our changing needs as the date approach. On the day of the wedding, I was so busy being a bride that I didn't get to eat any of the hors d'oeuvres. While we were waiting for the grand entrance to start, Sara walked over with a plate for my husband and I to grab a bite. The reception was beautiful and even my picky family loved it! Book it and you will find it to worth every penny.

Once we picked a date we immediately started looking for venue locations. We kept in mind that 90% of our guests will be from they Bay Area or out-of-state. We wanted it to be convenient for everyone to stay at the hotel where the reception would be. The first couple of hotels we looked into were not able to accommodate the time frame that we needed. Avenue of the Arts was our last inquiry close to church where our ceremony was held at. Once we entered the hotel, we were so amazed how unique and classy it looked. We met Sara Cargill, the catering events catering manager, who greeted us with a bright smile. She was super friendly and sweet. She showed us the outside area by the lake where the cocktail hour would be & the grand ballroom which is located upstairs. The ballroom, I believe was recently remodeled and the layout of the room could fit about 300 people. I only had about 150 people so it was a good amount of space in between tables but it still looked full. It has big windows that allowed natural lighting to shine in the room so it doesnât look dark like most hotel venues. The chandeliers were so elegant and gave the room the perfect look. I didnât want to get our hopes up so I asked Sara if they could accommodate an earlier time. Her response was, âwe can start the reception whatever time works for youâ. My husband and I looked at each other and we didnât have to say anything. We knew that this was the one. After our meeting with Sara, we wanted to go home and talk to my mom about it. I showed her all the details, pictures and wedding packages and my mom said, â go for it!â We booker Avenue of the arts a week after our visit and have no regrets!All of our family and friends who needed a place to stay booked a room at the hotel and they made sure majority of them were on the same floor as my bridal suite so it would be convenient for everyone. Sara and her team were on top of it that day. I just remember seeing Sara coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly! She even brought us champagne and hors dâoeuvres during our photo-op during cocktail hours. (Thank you for feeding or hungry bellies!) all of our guests gave us positive feedback saying how amazing the food was and how the buffet was set up and the buffet, the open bar that lasted all night and the service & the dessert table! The dessert table was a big hit because we included a donut wall and I wish I added more donuts since I just ordered about 6 dozen with a few dozen of mini dessert cups. I personally thought that no one would care for it but I was clearly wrong. The donut wall was attacked and cleared out within 10 mini. We were pretty bummed we didnât get to try it since we heard the donuts were amazing! It was fresh and fluffy, not too sweet & pretty cute to eat! That day was perfect from beginning to end and we wish we could do it all over again! Thank you Sara for being so patient with us during our planning and answering all our Questions/concerns promptly. You made the planning so easy for us since I didnât have a wedding coordinator. My mom kept saying, â Sara is so good!!â We truly appreciated the top service you and your team provided is!

It really is a beautiful place to get married, even if you cannot afford all of the extras.You get rooms to get ready in the day of, and we were given a honeymoon suite with complementary breakfast the next day.

We were lucky to have our wedding after renovations were finished - it elevated the look of our wedding. The entire AOTA staff provided amazing customer service! From the front desk to the restaurant team to the housekeeping staff. Our guests had the best time at our wedding and it was stress free for us. At the end of a long night we were greeted with a lovely personalized note and goodies from Sara - the perfect ending to a beautiful weekend! I definitely recommend having your wedding or any event at AOTA!

We had our wedding reception at the Avenue of the Arts in May and it was spectacular. Typically Vietnamese weddings are held at large Chinese/Vietnamese banquet areas or restaurants. We wanted to stay away from that and turn up the prestige a notch. The staff was attentive and very helpful through the months, weeks, and even days leading up to the event. The catering manager in particular was absolutely of top of everything. At one point I saw him personally reviewing the food and decor on the table to make sure it looked great. The ballroom was recently renovated and provided a beautiful blank canvas for our wedding team to add the flourish of flowers, decorations, and lighting. I have to admit we were initially apprehensive about setting our wedding reception at a hotel far away from the traditional Westminster/Bolsa area but it turned out to be wonderful.

Avenue of Arts is truly an amazing venue to host any event. My sister recently got married at the Avenue of Arts hotel and we were all pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, the attention to every detail and the courtesy that was extended to us during the days leading to the event and at the main event itself. We worked with Sara who was very helpful and stayed throughout our event, paying attention to every little detail ensuring that all our needs were met and that everything went smoothly. She was very professional, responsive and diligent and even went out of her way to welcome all the guests. Terri, the director of catering even helped with directing the cars and assisted guests coming in with their bags. Sara and Terri were just wonderful to work with; polite, kind, and professional , they really went the extra mile to make it a memorable evening for our family.The venue itself was beautiful, intimate and very accommodating and all our guests were impressed with the ambiance, decor, the table decor and place settings . The bridal suite was roomy, spotless and had a beautiful view as well. I would certainly, one hundred percent, recommend this venue to friends and family and cannot wait to have another event at this amazing venue. If you are looking to host a flawless, 5- star quality and successful event I would highly recommend you call Sara at the Avenue of Arts Hotel and I can assure you that you will be in excellent hands.

My dream wedding came to life at Avenue of the Arts Hotel!!!!! The newly remodeled ballroom is beautiful. I love the hotels decor. My husband and I worked very closely with Dhy and Sara with regards to brainstorming ideas for the reception. They are both very helpful and creative. Thank you both.The reception went on without a hitch. The servers and banquet captain ensured all of our guests needs were met. The food was delicious. We had a live band made up of 6 people. They had no problems setting up their equipment onstage. We all danced the night away. Everything from the room set up to the lighting was amazing. I had the time of my life. We stayed the night. Our suite was amazing. Our suite faced the lake, making it a great place to capture moments before and after the wedding. I absolutely love this place. Every part of the hotel is picture perfect. Thank you all for making my wedding day memorable. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

She is such a sweetheart. Dy my catering manager was the best. She took so much care of me and my husband. She made sure everything was perfect to the \"T\". She made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that we were in good hands. I loved everything about her. Her friendly smile to making us feel like we knew her for years. She really went the extra mile to ensure we were both happy. I cannot thank her enough. I will definitely be in contact with her and refer my family and friends to her. Terri was also amazing! She also took very good care of us. Anything we needed she was right there. I thought something would go wrong the day of my wedding but no. Everything was perfect. My guest absolutely loved the hotel, the decor of the hotel, and every last detail to the wedding was perfect. The food was amazing!! I got so many compliments from all my guest. They all wanted seconds. I would definitely recommend this hotel and all their wonderful staff to future brides and grooms. I had the best experience of my life and I will never forget it.

She was always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had and she always found a way to accommodate mine and my bridal party's needs. She made me (a very organized but stressed bride) feel very relaxed and comfortable. I had no worries or concerns of anything going wrong on my big day because I knew the wonderful staff and Brittany had everything taken care of. My junior bridesmaid even got sick and couldn't be at the reception and the staff and Brittany made sure to box up food and took it to her room.

We had Eric from Expressionary events as our coordinator and he was phenomenal! (Read my review on him too!)\r\rThe hotel is very beautiful so you can't go wrong!

I recently had my Bridal Shower here and everything was pure perfection! When I entered the hall it was beyond what I had expected. They made sure every detail was on point. All my guests were so impressed with everything, the hall, the food, even their coffee/tea station was impressive. Dy, the coordinator, was extremely helpful and very patient with my busy schedule (if often took me days to respond to her emails).

I cannot say enough about the Ave of the Arts Wyndham. I gave my daughter a bridal shower in their garden retreat last weekend, and it was beyond belief. Terri did such an amazing job with the flowers, centerpieces, the layout, the decorations - it was so fabulous. It was so beautiful that it looked like an actual wedding, which was beyond my wildest dreams for how it could look for a shower. The food was outstanding. The service was impeccable. Terri had a calm, organized demeanor and working with her was seamless, she is absolutely a true professional and I was luck to have her as my point of contact. From the initial menu choices, to the contracts, to the pre-event meeting, and then the event, it was beyond my wildest dreams for how this shower could turn out. I highly recommend this venue, and Terri, and look very forward to finding another event that I can book there.
