Lawrence Moore12 said:Which venue would you suggest for an outdoor wedding catering to about 100 to 150 guests? I’ve already crossed Villa California off my list because, frankly, the price tag is just astronomical. Does anyone here have any firsthand experience dealing with either Hotel Park or the Radisson? Or, if you happen to know of a superior alternative that might suit our needs better, please do share. This is for a wedding involving guests traveling from abroad, so the setting really matters.

The Pentagon or Lora?

Jessica Hall34 said:If you're talking about the ones I'm thinking of—the ones with the singer in red—my relatives used them. If I remember correctly, they paid about $2,300, but that included travel all the way to San Diego, so it would probably be a little cheaper if you're looking at something closer to Los Angeles..

Anyway, hope that helps!

By "red singer," I assume you mean the band Euphoria

Marino Franic 098/756 144

Robert Gonzalez88, I can't seem to reach you via DM—shoot me a message on mine instead... cheers

Joshua Fowler3 said:Does anyone else have any intel on the concessions or food service at the robot arena?

It was fine for me, though that was seven years ago...

Word on the street is Marino is even playing with a wireless setup in the hall

Joshua Perez122 said:We just booked the sky and now we're starting the hunt for the perfect band..
We've got Bravo Band on our minds, so if anyone could share some recent experiences with them, that would be amazing. We've already reached out and talked numbers. My musical taste is kind of all over the place—a mix of everything local and international, I guess. Thanks so much!

I was at a party near the Pink Panther recently... had to admit, I was still a bit out of it

briskeagle53 said:Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the Aria ex. Kokolo group? I mean, does it actually make sense to hire a DJ for a prom night, or does that just feel... I don't know, fake? Like it won't have that real energy? Also, if anyone here in San Francisco has a solid recommendation for a group, let me know—and does anyone know if there are any videos online of them performing at parties?

A solid DJ can definitely set the right mood...

cosmiclynx18 said:Thanks for all the help... I’ll definitely keep your advice regarding the banquet hall in mind 😉))

I’ve been doing a bit of digging online, and this venue out in Malibu is looking like a definite "yes" for me... It seems pretty legendary... though, honestly, it feels like they haven't even hosted a single wedding there yet
. j😍Does anyone actually have the inside scoop? (The venue itself is absolutely stunning; I just need to know if the food is actually any good)

It just opened up... go there this Sunday, they're having some kind of festival and a raffle, I think it starts around 6:00 PM...

Thomas Cruz9 said:Has anyone here attended a party where Major League was the headlining band? I’d love to hear some thoughts or reviews if you were there—thanks in advance!

They're great.

Noah Wright4 said:Must be nice having such cute problems 🙂

Verizon is a bit better and more seasoned, but honestly, you really can't go wrong with either one!

What are we looking at price-wise for them?

Douglas Reyes3 said:I haven't had a chance to get there yet, so I'm planning on hitting a seminar in May instead...
did you go? what was the vibe like—is it actually worth attending for anything useful? 🙂

Whether it's smart or not is debatable, and you don't exactly have to go—but it doesn't hurt to listen to what people have to say...

gentlewolf69 said:Jack Murphy7, what does the bulletin board say about us needing to be there for class this Sunday? And is the class held in that building next to the church, or is it over at Madison Square Garden?

My bad, everyone—just some total BS going on at work and I completely blanked...
Here’s what it says:
Lectures are on Sundays at 8:00 PM, registration starts at 7:30 PM, and the dates are:
-04/14
-05/19
-06/09
-07/07
-10/13
-12/08

Douglas Reyes3 said:Well, I actually went there, and right in front of me, there was this group of retirees having some kind of gathering. 🙂

I didn't end up staying, though. Honestly, once I saw those folks, I just turned around—I felt a bit out of place. I really need to check what time they actually start meeting.

Don't bother going. I work just up the street from Bank of America—when I head out for lunch, I'll swing by the cathedral and see if I can transcribe it, assuming they're open. If they are, I'll let everyone know around 2:00...

Douglas Reyes3 said:I know exactly where the church is located, and I actually had a dream about it, but when I went looking, I couldn't find anything—not even a single notice or sign posted anywhere... I’d also heard about that Zvonimir senior center, and someone told me it’s right in that building just past the bridge leading up to the church. So, I headed over there, and what did I see? Just a bunch of retirees sitting around playing cards.

From the bulletin board:
04/14
05/19

If you're driving, it's right before you take that right turn onto the small bridge—the facility is right in front of you... just past the facility, you'll see Bank of America...

feralsurfer3 said:It's at Our Lady of the Island, in that building near ☕

Wait, isn't it in Zvonimir Hall??

gentlewolf69 said:Peter Collins90, I knew it was Miles behind that post on the local forums the second I saw it. What can I even say... I actually lucked out by having my awkward encounter with her right at the start, rather than waiting until fifteen days before my wedding like you did. It’s just classic, isn't it? She goes around bragging about being the absolute best and most professional in the business, yet this supposedly high-end boutique owner doesn't even know the difference between chiffon and... whatever she calls it! She’s been running that shop for years and still hasn't bothered to learn basic fabric names... It's honestly embarrassing. Anyway, I really hope you manage to find a dress you actually love, one that makes you forget all about whatever Miles was trying to sell you.

Maybe she just meant chiffon 🤣...

gentlewolf69 said:I realize the schedules aren't identical for both Miami and San Diego, but I somehow stumbled upon two different sets of dates listed for both cities... so now I'm just sitting here wondering which ones are actually the right ones. Thanks.

Watch the year—I think some sites are still showing schedules from 2012.
What I gave you was taken straight from the bulletin board...

gentlewolf69 said:Hey, does anyone happen to know the engagement ring course schedule for San Diego and Miami covering March, April, and May? I’ve been looking online, but the dates seem all over the place...

Well, some sources say Miami, others say San Diego...
Miami is May 12-14, June 2-4... nothing for April...
San Diego is April 14-16, May 19-21, and June 9-11
You need to sign up on the first day, usually around 7:30 PM...

Douglas Reyes3 said:I had this dream where I just showed up unannounced on one of those dates that actually worked for me 🙂

No heads-up needed—just get there around 7:30. Don't bother coming earlier. Head down the stairs to the ground floor... sign in there and you're good to go.
