Dream Wedding! I am so happy we chose La Ventura. We were trying to be budget conscious but also I didn't a DIY wedding. La Ventura was the answer to my prayers. Amy and Makenzie were both there from the begining to end. Any random question I had there was an immediate response. La Ventura is so accommodating, they did whatever it took to make things happen. Also, their prefered vendors and recommendation for a DJ are amazing. Pros: Amazing food, great bar, stress free, great staff and amazing management. ( I could go on...) Cons: absolutely none Our wedding was 11.18.23, there was a chance of rain but La Ventura had a back up plan. It ended up not raining! The venue was fully set up by the time I arrived at 1pm. Ceremony was at 3:30pm. Champagne toast after the ceremony. We were served dinner first. Lights were dimmed and tables were removed for more dancing immediately after I asked. Payments were easy and no suprise fees at the end. Thank you all so much for making everything so easy and effortless. Morgan & Sergio

I cannot say enough good things about La Ventura. Amy, Makenzie, and all the other staff are amazing. They were all so professional and friendly from when we booked the venue back ...

in summer 2022 till after the wedding was over in November 2023. Amy was honest and upfront from the beginning: no surprise fees or weird caveats in the contracts. She was also very frank about what add-ons we might want (or not want!), and we never felt like she was pushing us to spend more money or make any decisions we didn't want. During the wedding, there was a pretty significant hiccup with one of the other vendors, but the La Ventura staff handled it like champs - my husband and I had no idea there were any issues until they mentioned it after the wedding, as they kept everything running so smoothly. (Major kudos to their catering manager, whose name I can't remember...!) Plus the food was SO delicious. Our DJ even mentioned that he loves doing weddings here because he knows he'll get a great meal out of it! If we had to do it all again, I'd pick La Ventura without a doubt. 10/10.

We had our ceremony and reception here this past October. La Ventura made our wedding planning very stress-free and were extremely helpful from our initial walkthrough to our big d...

ay. I really loved that a lot of the items at this venue are built into the pricing. The catering was amazing; we had so many compliments on the food and the tasting experience was also great. Amy and Melanie were great to work with and always responded to my emails timely. Also you cannot beat the beauty of this venue, each nook and room is a photographers dream and its great that they are located so close to the beach for your romantics. Overall, I felt like I showed up on the day and did not have to worry about anything. The staff at La Ventura were very professional and everything went perfectly!

Where to begin, this venue is outstanding! They completely super exceeded my expectations. The venue itself is a combination of rustic elegance built to accommodate large events pe...

rfectly, every element of this venue is carefully thought out and the details make a big statement. The entire process from the first tour to the day of our wedding was painless and it's all thanks to Lisa Wagoner who not only showed us the venue on multiple occasions but answered all our emails, and there were a lot, in a timely fashion and had the best suggestions and helped us through every step. Lisa truly is a genuinely good person who always had our best interest at heart and is excellent at her job. Thank you as well to the entire La Ventura team, Heather for helping us pick beautiful linens and guided us through our tasting, and everyone who helped throughout the process. I must also mention Iva Lees which is exclusive to La Ventura, not only is their food delicious but they accommodated us with all our food and beverage needs without any question, my guests were very happy with their friendly and hard working staff. The icing on the cake was also signature party rentals they have the most pristine rentals and it made the wedding shine, not to mention there was so much selection. So as a final note, if you are looking for a venue and an amazing experience look no further La Ventura is it! Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget!

BOOK THIS VENUE!!!! My husband and I booked it when it was still a construction site. We were the first to actually get married here. It exceeded every expectation we had. The La V...

entura team and Lisa Wagner handled every little detail with ease. The food is prepared on site by Iva Lees in their beautiful industrial kitchen. The Spanish romantic vibe is perfect for any event or wedding. Everything from the acoustics to the gorgeous lighting made our day a dream come true. It was extremely affordable as well. We could not have picked a better location to get married. I HIGHLY suggest this for anyone looking to throw a great party or a wedding. Everything was top notch!!!!! I wish I could give them ten stars!!!!
