Lot 8

bove and beyond to make our day perfect. She is an amazing coordinator, and I would highly recommend her and the whole team. Kimberly made the day stress free and easy for us to fully enjoy the day. From letting us know exactly where we needed to be, getting the grandmas in place while were taking photos, to the little things like getting a tide pen for my father to spot clean his shirt before his speech. We got so many compliments on the venue and so many people wanted to know how we found this hidden gem. We would like to thank the entire amazing team! Kimberly as coordinator, DJ Curt Owen was an amazing DJ and helped us put together the best playlist for our day, Christina and Joe were amazing photographers and just crushed it, the 2 bartenders we received were very friendly, helpful, and professional, and ECO catering was awesome to work with and have such tasty food! It truly was the perfect day, and we owe a lot of that to Lot 8 and the EPIC team. Thank you all so much!

imberly, Bianca, Kendra, you all did such amazing work and we couldn't have asked for a better team. We're really and truly blessed. We recently had our wedding of ~80 guests at Lot 8 in San Diego, which is managed by Epic Events. It was a huge success due to all the help and planning that came from the whole coordination team at Epic, especially Mary, Kimberly, Kendra, and Bianca. Special shoutout also to Joel and Giovanni who helped prep and clean up on the day of! We originally reached out over a year ago and visited Lot 8 in person to go over the space and review the possible options for our wedding. Kendra helped go over all the key points of the wedding package that included the venue rental, photography, DJ, and event/day-of coordination. There were a lot of items that were available to use for free or rent, which was really convenient and reduced the stress of finding lots of commonly needed things like centerpieces, tables/chairs, some signage materials, canopy, etc. Mary, in addition to generally staying on top of everything, was able to help put us in contact with their photographers and DJ, which helped reduce the stress of finding and vetting these services for ourselves (which can be challenging and time consuming). The photography part of the package included an engagement shoot in addition to the wedding day-of. We had regular email communication over the course of several months while we were finding outside vendors for food and entertainment, in addition to in-person coordination meetings 6 and 1 month out to go deep into the weeds of planning and make sure that all the small details were accounted for. The excellent communication was critical for staying organized and keeping stress to a minimum, as well as for making last minute changes like renting a big tent only a few days beforehand in case of rain. Kimberly our day-of coordinator, with help from Bianca, was a huge help in helping us establish exactly how we wanted the day to go and bring our vision to life. Kimberly was super attentive the day-of and took care of all the logistics with vendors arriving and leaving. She made sure we were having fun and also helped a bunch with set up and take down. Overall we had a really great experience working with the whole Epic Events team, and we would definitely recommend them to others who are planning weddings/big events. Thank you so much for making our special day truly amazing!

e chose to use outside caterers). The venue is very cutely decorated with lots of greenery on the walls. This makes decorating very easy. You really don’t need to add much because it already has a lot of charm. It also holds a surprisingly high amount of people very comfortably (we had about 130 guests). The location is very centrally located as well and right in Hotel Circle for out of town guests. Kimberley was our coordinator, and I have nothing but high praises for her. She made sure everything we discussed was executed perfectly, and I felt very comfortable in her hands. We were assigned Mike as our photographer, and my husband and I could not have been happier. He was so friendly and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. The pictures also came out great! Highly recommend him! DJ Carlos/Harmz was our assigned DJ. We met a month before the wedding so he could understand what we were looking for. He not only played all the songs we requested but 100% listened to implemented what we had discussed. We got a lot of compliments on our music. We were very happy with our wedding day, and would definitely recommend Lot 8!

rfect coordinator. For the weeks leading up she was there to answer any question or concern I had. She put everything exactly where it needed to be and got us down the aisle flawlessly! We also were paired with one of their DJs who was incredible & read the crowd so well. Could not recommend this company enough!

ents is perfect for the DIY meets help with executing vision. Everything came together without any issues. Epic events made my day so memorable without stress, and that was the best part!

nal and just amazing! Thank you guys for the best wedding I could’ve asked for

till want to plan a bit yourself. You can email them as much as you'd like, but you need to be on top of your dates and checklists. I went with their in-house DJ and he was pretty good as well, a few mistakes with our isle processional songs though. And the in house caterer dropped the ball big time on one of my guest allergies and someone's throat closed and they had to leave the event early. They basically didn't let anyone know about the allergy, after I let them know the guest, the table number, and the allergy. The caterer expected the guest to just mind read what ingredients there were in everything and they never provided me that info. So if be prepared to baby sit the DJ and caterer for sure. The coordinators were great to work with. And I cannot say enough great things about their photography. They really did a beautiful job of capturing the day.

vided almost everything (highly recommend). Our wedding went smoothly and better than we could have ever hoped for. One thing to note, if you are the type of couple that needs vendor responses ASAP or are trying to plan a wedding in a very short amount of time, I might not recommend this venue to you unless you are patient. The venue is BUSY and the team can only respond so fast to each of its couples. Nonetheless, they are on top of planning your wedding and make sure to have everything in place based on the timeline they set out for you. With a little patience, you will definitely receive a response to all your emails or calls. Plus, they were kind enough to let us have meetings earlier than the timeline noted, which made the months leading up to our wedding significantly less stressful. Everyone we worked with was kind, communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Plus our guests loved the unique venue and had a fabulous time.

nd we loved that it was all-inclusive. As a bride who planned her own wedding, all-inclusive is the way to go! Unbeknownst to me, I had attended a wedding previously at Epic's other location, The Secret Garden, so it felt like I knew what I was getting into when we decided to go with Epic Events. Catering - Their food is a chef's kiss! Christine was great with communication, and buffet-style was the perfect option. Our guests loved the food! Photography - Ashley and Allie, you two are ROCKSTARS! Taking photos all day can be overwhelming, but these two made it so comfortable and enjoyable. We received sneak peeks 2 weeks after our wedding, and they turned out amazing! We can't wait to see the rest :) DJ - DJ Shaun Blaze kept the party going all night, and that's exactly what we wanted! He worked with our playlists (I was pretty particular) and he nailed it. Coordination - Epic provides a month-of and day-of coordinator. Since I acted as my own planner, I tried to be as detailed and organized as possible to make it easier on our day-of coordinator. Bianca, we know there were some bumps in the road but you did it girl! Thank you for everything. Lastly, thank you to the entire Epic Events Team - Mary, Julie, Christina, Christine, DJ Shaun Blaze, Ashley, Allie, Bianca, anyone else I missed - for helping to make our wedding absolutely perfect!
