23522 Commerce Center Dr, Laguna Hills“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!”
“This place is amazing!!Great place for good clean fun!My son is 21 and he loves this place for dancing, We had his 21st birthday party here and they were fantastic even called him on the dance Floor for a dancing steal. I would highly recommend this place for Axe throwing, dancing and just hanging out. You should check out Saturday nights. You will not be disappointed.$15 dollar cover, but so worth it, no alcohol, but they do have mocktails and a lot of other stuff. A+”
“As a wedding photographer and videographer I love the unique country charm this venue has to offer. Such a beautiful outdoor gazebo ceremony space adjacent to lush green landscaping complete with ponies, white fencing and green hedges that add to the natural beauty of the landscape. Inside you also have spacious rooms for both bride and groom prep with plenty of entertainment for the groomsmen including pool and foosball tables for the guys. The reception room is large and has a beautiful barn door backdrop for the couples table and plenty of room for guest tables and dancing. And Angela is a pleasure to work with and the couples really love her. It really is a hidden gem in South Orange county for those that want to add a touch of country appeal to their wedding day.”
“We had a wonderful experience using Franciscan Gardens as our venue for our son’s rehearsal dinner. I worked with Elisabeth, Nasime and Anna long distance and their consistent communication exceeded our expectations! 24 Carrot caterers also exceeded our expectations! The food, service and all staff provided a wonderful event! Highly recommend Franciscan Gardens!”
“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.”

“Our team LOVED sailing aboard the Curlew. We were able to charter a private, sunset sail for our corporate retreat and it was the perfect event. She is a beautiful schooner and Captain Bob and crew were amazing - fun, helpful and professional. They taught us a bit about sailing and took care of all of our needs while on board. We are so glad we chose this sunset sail as our team outing!”
“Beautiful coastal setting with easy access to down town and amenities. The Club is warm and welcoming. The homes and Villas in the community are all unique and various price ranges for any enthusiast.”

20768 Lake Forest Dr, Lake Forest“The rooms are clean as well as the entire hotel. A variety of food for breakfast with Kerig coffee makers. I loved the down -like pillows and comfortable beds. The linens were cozy.The staff is friendly and customer service oriented.”
“I had not been here in yrs and I can say the place is better than I remember. My son’s party was a breeze. The staff was so helpful with the planning and during the event. All my guests were extremely happy. Everyone had a great time!”
“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.”

31 Santa Barbara Dr, Aliso Viejo“I photographed a wedding here last year and it was STUNNING! The venue was so amazing to work with, the staff was so friendly and welcoming! I was blown away with how helpful they were to me and the guests. I suggest this venue to all my clients, can't wait to photograph another wedding here soon!!”
“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.”
“I had the pleasure of officiating a wedding yesterday at the club, along with my keyboard accompanist, Andy Howe (Debbie Reynolds, Eartha Kitt, Ed Ames).On the drive back north, we both remarked how attractive the facility and its appointments are... ( The two of us have way more years of appearing in these venues than we might care to admit to!)The staff we worked with, particularly the lead person, Mackenzie Inderwiesche, the Club's Private Events Coordinator , could not have more helpful or efficient, from our first contact by email months ago, to the end of our stay there.(Mackenzie and another staff member are in the accompanying photos.)Everything ran very smoothly.Kudos to all!”
“I IQC'd for ASA214 with Ric Dahlin through a partnership with a different school in a different town. It would be so incredibly difficult to have a better experience!Firstly it was very cool of him to work with a partner school and very generous of him to travel. He seemed sincerely happy to be there and to help - just a super cool guy. We were short-handed in the class, and he didn't mind taking helm or grinding winches when I needed to run forward. This guy still loves sailing and still loves time with students, which is fanstatic!Secondly, we had an absolutely phenomenal day on the water. He set the tone and pace at the outset to be very calm and professional. We both showed up early and well-rested, which is great if you've experienced the other side of that. Zero stress, just a great day sailing with some hands-on skills and a written exam at the end.It's also cool that they are a charter base, and so close to Catalina. If I am ever around the Dana Point area again, I'll for sure make a stop at Aventura.”

31781 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano“Plaza de Magdalena was the dream venue for our wedding, offering not just a stunning setting but also top-notch service. A special shoutout to Patti, who was incredibly helpful in answering all our questions and making sure everything went smoothly. The food was delectable, the service staff were friendly and diligent, and the overall value was unbeatable. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience and highly recommend Plaza de Magdalena for anyone looking to host their wedding or next big event.”

16662 Hale Ave, Irvine“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!”
“A beautiful yacht club that seems likes it's stood the test of time. You have a great view of the ocean here and membership is required to be able to use the facilities. The club and its facilities itself is a 5 star. No question as the decor and the feeling you get inside is spectacular. Their restaurant has a great view upstairs on the second story and they are very dog friendly which is amazing. Their menu is very simple and straight forward and they mostly have a mix of Mexican, American and Italian food. I had ordered their burger with a mix of onion rings and regular fries, the hummus and their flat bread with fig and burrata. They also have a selection of drinks and a daily drink specials. As far as the taste of the food... the burger was just good, it didn't leave a good or a bad impression, but the hummus had very little flavor and tasted very bland. The fig and burrata flat bread had more of a fig drizzle instead of actual figs and the flatbread had the texture of a cardboard. Now the food from what I have tasted was 2 stars. But again the place is so beautiful you won't care what you eat. I was invited here by a member and it's a great place to hang out and enjoy the view.”

25092 Marguerite Pkwy, Mission Viejo“I was invited as a guest and I had the best time. Great dinner and line dancing. Nicest group of members that go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I can't wait to go back!! Thank you to everyone I met for showing me such a fun time!”
“An amazing place with excellent table set up, decoration, service, great tasting food, and very friendly staff, management, and ownership. I highly recommend Mirage Banquet Hall. All of our event guests shared the same sentiments with us about the excellent service, food, and the staff. Absolutely great experience and hall!”
“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.”
“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!”

2 Orchard Rd, Lake Forest“Best hotel experience I've had in a while. Beautiful and well maintained hotel. Big comfortable and clean rooms. Good breakfast and even dinner and drinks are included Mon-Wed. Every staff member was friendly.”
“Very nice staff, laid back, if you have wild kids it might be too mellow for them at this place. Some kids like a little more action. But for people who just are climbing and are cool with just that then it's a great place”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
