“We recently hosted our son's baptism reception at the DoubleTree by Hilton Irvine - Spectrum, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make our day special. Noel, in particular, made the entire planning process incredibly easy and was beyond helpful. Her coordination took so much of the stress off my shoulders, allowing us to actually enjoy the celebration. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how amazing the service was and how delicious the food tasted.

“We held our wedding reception at the Inn at the Mission this past March and it was nothing short of magical!! Cocktail hour was in the Olive grove and dinner and dancing was in the courtyard lights. From start to finish, the Inn team was communicative, transparent and so kind. Bahar did our wedding booking and answered my mom and I's long list of questions and broke down all of the cost in a way that was easy to understand. Aimae was our assigned wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. Her and her team worked their butts off before the event in the coordination stage and during the event itself (especially with my hired coordinator, Lisa Simpson who is an Inn preferred vendor and could not recommend her more either). Aimae was so responsive and no question, idea or ask was too small, she really helped develop the vision and helped execute flawlessly. The food was great, guests were complimenting it left and right - the drinks had healthy pours. While this venue is an investment, the service and energy you get from the staff is worth every penny!”

“We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.”
