“Really good place to know so much about the US air force history. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, this place is so much for you, right from early evolution of motorcycles to how they finally evolved into what they are today and everything about the engineering and cosmetics has been collected and depicted here!
This museum is situated on the John Wayne airport so you’ll frequently see aircrafts taking off and landing. There is a small movie hall too which was plays short movies about the world war history, air force history, evolution of motorcycles etc. Every artifact has been labelled nicely so you can go through the read and know in depth of the significance of those artifacts/ elements displayed.”

“What a great experience. We went on a Sunday. No wait. They do have lounge areas if you do have to wait. Our instructor was Asa. Very friendly and helpful. We went on a couples date and had a lot of fun. It is very loud. They do have ear plugs if you need them. They have some snack foods and some drinks with limited alcohol.”

“We hosted an anniversary party at Thomas Studios - it was the perfect unique location for a really special and intimate occasion. The studio has a beautiful outdoor space perfect for entertaining, a very spacious interior for seating - with the perfect laid back laguna chic vibe to the entire venue. Shaun and his Studio Manager Lili were amazing to work with and worked tirelessly to make our event special. I would definitely host there again!”

“What a beautiful hotel located right next to Huntington Beach. This Hyatt Regency is very large, and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in one of the Huntington Suites and really enjoyed the room and views of the pool / ocean from our balcony. This hotel, which is not directly on the beach, has a bridge that connects you to the beach, which is a really cool feature. We definitely are going to spend more time at this property on our next stay in the area. This is one of the nicer hotels in Orange County.”

“We took our son and some friends here for his birthday. This place has the wow factor the minute you walk in. It is big, well lit, clean and staffed with friendly and helpful people. The game and VR selection was varied and hi tech. We bought the 2 hour package and everyone enjoyed delicious food and drinks that were included from the Cafe. Highly recommend this place for a great entertainment experience.”

“The Marconi Automotive Museum is a hidden gem for car enthusiasts, boasting an impressive collection of rare and exotic vehicles. The staff is knowledgeable and the exhibits are well-maintained, making it a must-visit for anyone passionate about automobiles.”

“Excellent meeting place 9:30-12N for about 50 of us. Delicious steak salad, various breads, dessert. Coffee self serve throughout. Professional servers during our business without disruption. Convenient parking.”

“Just finished a nice long weekend getaway with the dog. We booked the Oceanview suite to take advantage of the spacious rooms and had a great time. There's a lot of neat little perks to this hotel. Extremely dog friendly Water station available all day Coffee available in the morning (complimentary) - I also saw some free pizza slices by the coffee bar Wine social hour (complimentary) S'mores kits to enjoy with their fire pits You can borrow items for the beach and also boards and bikes. Dog beds Vinyl records players with a library of vinyls ( the collection was okay had a lot of beach vibe type of albums ) + more Like this place thinks of everything. The stay was very pleasant and all the staff were very friendly to engage with. It's centrally located to the beach and pier along within walking distances of plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning a beach getaway”

“Honestly, if I would have seen an advertisement for a string quartet playing Beatle music, I would probably not have gone. Put several hundred candles on the floor and call it a Candlelight Concert, now that caught my attention. I enjoyed it immensely. I will be attending more of these Candlelight Concerts.”

“We love this place. Is it a 5 star hotel or resort? No... But it's nice, clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. A very short walk to the beach and close to Balboa and shopping with really good food within walking distance. For us, there isn't any reason to stay anywhere else!”

“It's free to walk around the garden and definitely the garden is worth seeing. The landscape is beautifully maintained. To go Inside the heritage buildings there is a 10$ fee. The garden is only open for the public on Saturday till 2p. Most Saturdays they have events going on and the public is not allowed, you wouldn't see a sign that tells that there events going on at the entrance and is closed to the public when you try to do a walk in without checking their website.”

“Loved the Lido House! Not only was it very cute and perfect location to walk to the beach, but I accidentally left some nice clothes in my room upon checking out and their housekeeping turned in to lost and found and they quickly shipped it to me! Highly recommend this hotel!”

“We had our perfect wedding at Fete the Venue on 11/11/23 and we loved this venue! When I started to look for venues I fell in love with them immediately, but kept looking because I felt it was too good to be true to find a venue this quickly. But as I continued my search, I came to realize that it is too good, and it is true! Sarah was great to work with and she was our main contact at Fete. There were times where I would have to re-email her to get a response, but I had to do this with other vendors as well. Even with a few delayed responses, she was kind and professional. The Venue also made it easy to switch payment methods when needed. She gave us a lot of good recommendations and was so easy going and accommodating with a lot of our requests. She definitely wanted to make sure we had a great time. We had 9 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen and I felt we were able to fit in the Bride and groom's Suite just fine. We did also have parents, and vendors floating around too and it still felt comfortable. But more than that, maybe not haha. When we did our initial walk through with Sarah we saw the groom's suite and it was not bad, but ever since they updated it, I could not wait to get my husband in there and see all of the photos from the day! It is so sleek and just gorgeous. Any groom and his party would think it was perfect for them. I'm glad both parties were able to get perfect spaces. A few things I would bring to any bride and groom's attention about Fete is that they have some restrictions and requirements such as no fog machines, dry ice machines, no sparklers, and no shots at the bar. And if you would like a signature drink at your wedding, you HAVE to get the top drink package or pay for each signature drink individually. They state this is because the signature drink will most likely be the most popular drink (Which it may be) and they will need to buy more of the ingredients to comply with the demand. I understand this, just wish I would have known this prior. However, we still had the open bar and our guests were happy with the drinks and beers that were available. Also all vendors must sign a one time vendor agreement, and provide proof of insurance. Our hair and make-up artist were freelance and did not have insurance, but Sarah provided me with a web page to get a day of insurance for about $100-$120. Our Hair and make up artist were accommodating and we were able to get that easily taken care of. So if you have your dream vendor picked out but they are not insured, that is a conversation you will need to have with them, and another task to do. But most vendors will have likely run into this before so it wasn't an issue as they know the drill. With that being said, I understand as a business why they do this. But as the consumer, it is information to know to see if this is your perfect venue. Another piece of information is that Fete has a list of exclusive caters that they offer you to use, but if you decide to go with an outside caterer, they charge a $2,500 buy out fee. We did go with one of their exclusive caterers (All Above Catering), and we were more than happy with them. This venue and the exclusive caterer did not charge a service fee, which I think is huge. Outside caterers were quoting us thousands, and sometimes charging more than what was offered with Fete. So with the service fee from other caterers, and the buy out fee, it just made more financial sense to go with an exclusive vendor. Another reason to go wit an exclusive vendor is because you know they will work well with the venue and you can have the piece of mind that both vendors will keep the other in check. I will say we did spend a pretty penny on our entire wedding, and of course, food, drinks, and venue were a big chunk of that, but I wouldn't change a thing. After our wedding we were surprised to find a card in the mail a few weeks after our wedding from Fete with a thank you and congratulatory message. We thought that was so sweet and a nice touch. The venue is beautiful and they seem to always be making”

“Very large theater, 10? Selections to choose from. Reclining chairs, selection of adult and other beverages. Parking structure and surrounded by eateries. Beach Blvd and Edinger.”

“A very nice rental venue for small parties and events. The owners are good communicators. The space is excellent with ta les and chairs provoded already. There is also a big TV screen and a back patio. There is a refrigerator and freezer and restroom. Very versatile space. Very professional.”

“So cute! Unfortunately we went as a rainy day activity on a Saturday and so did everyone else! So it was very busy. I will bring my daughter again when we come back to town. I get that it's a "musuem" but I don't love that you pay for every adult. Maybe 1 free adult with a child and pay for extra adults? Or adults a cheaper price. Just a thought. Anyways. You won't be sorry, that is a great place for younger kids and I highly recommend it!”

“First time there for me and my son. Wonderful service from staff from beginning to end. Always polite and respectful. We plan on coming back. Nurse John was funny but Nick Guerra was awesome! Thank you Improve for a great time!”

“We had the honor of hosting our wedding here at The Harper on 1/19. From start to finish, Jess was such a great help. We’ve obviously never done this before and she was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had. Not only did we get referred to a Wedding Planner, but they made it easy to find all vendors we needed. They broke down all the information we needed with contacts and websites.It was such a smooth sailing process. Perry and I could not have been more blessed to find this venue. It is beautiful inside and out and it made our night very memorable. They were always willing to help and answer any and all of our questions. Trust me, when I thought I had stupid a question, they made me feel like it was an important question.Roomforty (f&b) were a pleasure to work with. They were there every step of the day to make sure our guests and us (the bride and groom) were taken care of. Everyone enjoyed their service and we received so many compliments on their behalf. Food and drinks were amazing. Everyone just enjoyed their hospitality and they even enjoyed themselves as well. Such friendly personalities and got along well with our guests.”

“We had an incredible experience! Our guides Marco & Trent were excellent, their energy made our experience with our group so much fun. Would highly recommend this activity.”

“So happy to have worked with several Axis locations and their amazing teams. Their facilities, attention to detail, and helpful staff are just a few reasons why you should partner with them for your next training or event. I cannot recommend them enough!”

“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.”

“The first thing I want to say is that they always receive you with great kindness and that they treat us all with respect, be they children, adolescents or adults. Thank you for the services you offer to the community.”

“We have photographed many weddings at Seven 7 Seven over the years and it is always a delight to come back. Nestled at the bottom of the hills in Laguna, the venue has great light at any point of the day. It is nice that both the bride and the groom have their own getting ready areas, and both spots photograph well for that portion of the day. The ceremony site has a huge beautiful backdrop of trees and the pond and has many different spots that the photographer can go without being in the way of guests. It is a beautiful venue! ig @_themcfarlands_”
