Seven Degrees

then proceeded to have our reception outdoors on a drive that fit everyone comfortably and turned out beautifully outdoors (highly recommend the all outdoors option!). We were taken care of from the beginning of choosing this venue and planning every single minute of the night to the actual night when things could not have gone any better. All of the staff was so genuine and personal and made everyone feel like it was just a big family dinner! Service could not have been better, bartenders were so into getting the party started, our vendors were taken care of like they were a guest, and the bridal suite was to die for. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR VENUE ENOUGH! Go and check it out yourselves, you won't regret it!

antic music and show the slideshow that makes you believe that will be YOU in just a few months.... and BAM, won our hearts. Marketing at it's best! It truly worked and this venue truly delivered. It was the perfect location for us, but like ANY location, I'll start with a few "tips" for you future Brides/Grooms. Please note most of these "cons" are of no fault of the venue/it's amazing staff, it just "is what it is" and moreso good to know if you end up booking this incredible venue. Tips: - The drive on the 133 can be realllly heavy with traffic. Keep this in mind! We had our rehearsal on a Friday (Valentine's Day) and got married on a Sunday and with all of those cars going to the beach over the weekend (a holiday weekend, nonetheless), traffic is crazy. On our invites, we stated our ceremony started 15 minutes earlier than it really did. You don't want late attendees to your ceremony! - The waiting area/front lobby, where your guests wait before the ceremony, is just a tad bit tight. Again, absolutely willing to sacrifice this small disadvantage when the rest of the venue is incredible, but just something to be mindful of. - The ceremony location really is beautiful with the gorgeous waterfalls, greenery and nature, but it does feel a tiny bit cramped for your bridal party compared to a church, for example, where the front/stage is a lot more grand/spacious. Again, we were willing to sacrifice this because of the PROS (listed below). PROS (to name a few): - The FOOD! It was buffet-style and everyone loved the food (including the appetizers) and had nothing but compliments. Hot and fresh! My family is Indian and food is HUGELY important! The fact that they were raving over that short rib, chicken and lasagna is a huge compliment! (appetizers? highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates. I want some right now!) - The reception area. Like I mentioned before, the ceremony is pretty and doable, but nothing "AMAZING". The reception is what sold it for us. We were tired of touring venues where the ceremony happened to be beautiful, but the reception area was like a bingo hall. It was the perfect vibe of modern, hip, cool, gorgeous. We loved the decor (their winter decor was still up, which definitely adds another layer of beauty). Sound system, light system, it was amazing. - Every staff member that we worked with, including our coordinator, Tiffany, was great. She knew what she was doing and very responsive to emails (which you will know when planning such a huge event, is KEY, and so appreciative). Just remember that in general, venue coordinators by default, work for the venue and although they do care for you, they are ultimately there for the venue's best interests. My flaw is that I tend to ask others' opinions on small details / decisions. Brides & grooms: YOU are getting married, YOU are paying thousands of dollars, so make decisions that will ultimately make YOU happy. :) - Highly recommend the sparkler farewell at the end! It was an amazing touch, matches the theme of the venue and the videos/photos look great because of it. THANK YOU SEVEN DEGREES, Tiffany, all of the amazing staff! I can't thank you enough. it was a magical day and we truly wish we could relive it!!

, professional & amazing service… look no further, Seven Degrees is the place. We highly recommend the venue and their staff. Eric Morales Extreme DJ Service

and beautiful. Seven-Degrees was always on the radar for us but we brushed it off a few times. I finally told my husband that we need to just make an appointment and go see it at least. When we did, we both knew we wanted to get married here. It matched all my criterias, like being beautiful, unique, not too big because we didn't want a big fat Indian wedding, and even matched criterias I hadn't even set yet. It made our hearts so happy and I just knew I could do so many creative things in terms of decorations. We knew we wanted to book the venue as soon as the appointment was done. All weddings come with drama and hiccups, but me and my husband had a lot of these! However, this venue really worked with us and made us feel at ease. From day one, I could tell they were on our side and it wasn't just about money for them. We weren't just another couple they were working with. They truly care and want your wedding to be all about YOU! We went through two coordinators and towards the end and on the actual wedding day, we worked with Kathryn. She is so amazing and easy going! Anything I would ask her to do, she would make it happen with no questions asked. I also had my own wedding coordinator and the two coordinators worked so well with each other. Again, they both made sure my husband and I were happy with everything going on. I am also sure things went wrong the day of, but they made sure we didn't find out about it so we can enjoy our day. I love this venue because they have an upstairs terrace area and the ballroom is downstairs. The upstairs is so pretty and romantic. Unfortunately, it was raining at our wedding so guests couldn't take full advantage of the terrace, but there is a tent that the venue provides during the winter months. For all future brides, I would really recommend this place! The venue works with you on everything, even price! So don't let the numbers steer you away. Make an appointment and I promise you will fall in love as well!

xperienced, detailed and overall a joy to work with! We were so happy to plan our wedding with him and grateful for all the information and help he provided along the way. Our friends have continued to compliment us on our beautiful day there and how amazing of an event it was for them. The venue itself is simply gorgeous and the entire staff team was very professional and on point all night. Thank you, Scott and 7 Degrees for a night full of the best memories ever.

r us, but they created the best wedding meal ever! Our guests are still raving about the food. Above all else, the staff is amazing. Scott is the best coordinator in the entire world! We never felt stressed by the wedding planning because we were in good hands with him. He fit right in with us, with our sense of humor and our vision. When he gave us our first tour of the venue, we knew we wanted him as the coordinator. He became our best friend during the wedding planning process! We joked, we laughed, we cried. On the day of the wedding, he truly takes care of the couple, he made sure we always had drinks, he provided us with our own tray of hors d’oeuvres to make sure we didn’t starve, and took care of all the details to make sure we had fun and nothing to worry about. My husband and I had a few criteria going into a venue: open bar, good food for a plated meal, and fun! Seven-Degrees helped us accomplish that and so much more. You will not regret having your wedding here. It truly is the perfect stage to starting your forever!

ided to broaden our horizons; and are so glad we did. Seven-Degrees was the perfect modern venue, with all of the A/V, lighting and space for everything we could want. It's also less than a mile from the ocean, so taking pre-ceremony shots on the beach was super convenient; so we still got some of our ocean-front vibes that we wanted. It was important for us as a gay couple to be sure that our venue was completely LGBT friendly, and had handled LGBT weddings in the past; and the staff at Seven-Degrees could not have made us feel more comfortable. We viewed it as a bit of a blank canvas, meaning unless you were to go super traditional, the venue can take on any look you desire - just look at the variety of photos from different events and you'll see the possibilities. We also had the challenge of planning the wedding from across the country, and the team at Seven-Degrees made that process as simple as possible. Tabatha who first showed us around and provided the initial quote was so patient and accommodating with us, and really helped us to see the value in the venue, open our eyes to some options we hadn't yet considered, and made us feel totally comfortable. Our coordinator, Scott was equally wonderful. We didn't have a wedding planner (read: did 90% of the work myself), and Scott was our go-to for all the random questions that arise as you're planning, especially in the month or two before the big day. He helped guide us in some of our decisions that we just were clueless on, steered us away from choices that might not have yielded the result we wanted, and welcomed our crazier ideas with open arms. We had multiple performance pieces and timing aspects to our reception, and Scott executed them flawlessly, pushed us through our outfit changes (three outfits each by the time the reception was done!), and corralled our wedding party and parents in all the ways we needed most. Also of importance: the food! You never really know when you're choosing a venue (especially one that requires you to use their on site chef and menus) how the food is going to turn out. But we took a chance and could not have been happier. Every single guest at our wedding has not stopped raving about the food, and loved every bit. Highly recommend the short ribs! The venue also has lots of add-ons to choose from that can help spruce up the ceremony area, the reception space, or your entry/exit area. Picking from those options made it so simple for us to enhance the already amazing spaces. All in all, we couldn't be happier to have celebrated the biggest day of our lives at this gorgeous venue and can't thank everyone at Seven-Degrees for all of their help and support in executing our perfect day.

ors, kindly letting everyone know to give us (the bride and groom) space and time to eat dinner, everything went according to plan, and even when there was a slight hiccup with the flowers (this was our fault), he told us that he would take care of everything and not to worry, and YES everything came out amazing. The venue itself is beautiful and BIG! We got the red carpet on the driveway which really gave that extra umph! and all the guests loved it. The venue also provides an array of selections of decorations (some for a price). But I can't even begin to say how AMAZING the FOOD was! Most weddings we've been to, the food is always mediocre at best. But Seven Degrees so delicious that all the guests raved about it and cleaned the plate. We ordered the prime ribeye steak, the seabass (OMG to die for), and the creme brulee as our dessert. All were super delicious. BRIDES - PLEASE CONSIDER SEVEN DEGREES FOR YOUR WEDDING. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! And thank you Scott!! We evaluated multiples venues and eventually chose [seven-degrees]. At no point, did we regret our decision. Scott Tepper was our day of wedding coordinator and from day one he acted professionally. Not only was he very responsive and easy to work with, he’d give good suggestions on everything from timeline to decorations. On the day of our wedding, we had no worries as he kept everything on time, kept the wedding party on task, and most importantly kept us hydrated, fed, and confident so we could enjoy the moment. The venue is beautiful and classy with a diverse selection of decorations to add character. For extra added bonus, the food (sockeye salmon and short rib) was universally acclaimed as delectable by our guests. All of this culminated in an amazing wedding that we and our friends and family will always cherish. Thank you [seven-degrees] and especially Scott!

that we could hold an outdoor ceremony and the indoor reception was steps away. We knew that getting married in February would also mean gambling with the weather, and seven-degrees had an amazing rain contingency plan. It actually ended up raining on our wedding day, but the sky cleared out just in time for our ceremony, and the team was so on top of making many last minute adjustments to accommodate for the weather. Other than the venue and location, THE FOOD WAS SO SO SO AMAZING. We actually received many comments on how BOMB the food was and how it was probably the best wedding food any of our guests have ever had. Since the kitchen is in house, you’re able to customize the menu to your liking. The Chef did not disappoint with our Spanish and Japanese and Prime Rib station! I wish I had asked for take home boxes so I could really enjoy it after the wedding. They were also very accommodating with our dessert and after snacks vendor! Lastly, our coordinator, Tiffany was AMAZING. She created a comfortable environment when we first met and we immediately knew that we were in good hands. No request was ever too big, and we appreciated the over communication on her end. My husband and I cannot recommend seven-degrees enough to be your wedding venue. If we had a disposable fund, we would choose seven-degrees to be the venue for our next party!

ntic decor just put it over the top. I loved the decor they had during their winter months, which was when our wedding was, and it was such so wonderful and romantic and very much our dream wedding. The beautiful location says so much for itself but the staff really puts this venue where it’s at. Everyone was so wonderful to work with. My planner, Scott, was so great. He was amazing to work with, answered my endless questions, and truly was remarkable. The day of he made things seem effortless in such a highly emotional and special day. Everything else about this venue is just so great. The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were amazing. Our day was so special and it’s all thanks to seven degrees.

tside vendors, but Scott stepped in to ensure that everything went smoothly. The day of our wedding, he kept the event flowing and made sure our guests were where they needed to be. Outside of the amazing hospitality, the food and beverage service was great. Upon entry, guests were handed a glass of champagne, which got them in the party mood immediately. We still have guests talking about the bacon wrapped blue cheese dates, miso salmon, and short ribs. In terms of budget, we couldn’t have chosen a better venue. Seven-Degrees worked with us to meet all of our needs and made the process of working with outside vendors relatively easy. Not only was it a beautiful location, but an overall pain-free wedding planning experience. If you’re still venue hunting, I would 100% recommend touring the site and giving them a call.

and commented on how great the venue and the food were. Our photographer commented that our wedding day was the most well run/smoothest that she had been to, and some of our guests too! We really had the best day, so thank you!

to anyone who wants to have their wedding in a really unique/modern space. The atmosphere was magical. The lighting was amazing, and everything was very professional. Best night of our lives! Thank you Seven-Degrees!

nover but Malak truly came through and well exceeded expectations and eliminated any worries we had! From day one, Malak was extremely professional, prompt, kind, and organized. On the day of the wedding she was cool as a cucumber while helping us herd our 50+ family guests in the bridal suite to the drive way for photos and also tended to other family members who needed more attention. Beyond her assistance, the venue in itself was outstanding. Our guests could not stop saying how amazing and how it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Our wedding has passed a few weeks already and guests are still raving about the food! The property was also breath taking and expansive for guests to explore. We absolutely had the most memorable wedding here and do not regret moving forward with Seven Degrees.

cocktail hour outside upstairs while gazing into the hills of Laguna Canyon, then reception downstairs in the "media room," similar to a fancy club. They have their own audio/visual equipment & monitors throughout where personal photos scrolled all evening, colored lights, the whole bit. Sound system was amazing! But the food? Everything was SO delicious, wish I could have a dinner there! All our guests were amazed at how wonderful everything was. Scott, our coordinator, was the best--the evening flowed with no snafus, and for the first time in my life I didn't have any complaints! Several of my daughter's friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. If you want a venue that will blow your guests away, this is it.

ws we were reading and hearing about the food, we were sold quickly. It was actually our first venue visit we made for our list. The tour was easy to set up as staff is super communicative. We fell in love with our first venue coordinator but unfortunately, she left Seven Degrees and we were given another venue coordinator, which we did not mind as Seven Degrees was accommodating to understanding that we needed a first meeting all over again. After that, unfortunately, she too left for unforeseen circumstances and we were finally paired with Scott, who was our venue coordinator for about 6 months prior to the wedding (plenty of time together). We were introduced to Scott and quickly found his friendly personality and humor over exchanges of emails to our fitting. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had and never minded to explain things over and over again for us. He offered us many in-person meetings but we were very deep into planning all together that we knew we were still on the right track even if it wasn’t in person. He was thorough in explaining what can be done to incorporate my ideas into the wedding and in finances. He was really patient with me as he quickly found out that I was a ‘write you an email at 3:00AM’ kind of girl. Overall, we really felt like Seven degrees was a blank canvas that was just ready for you to fill with what you got planned. The groom suite and bridal suite were a nice little retreat, cool, and spacious. We got served complimentary champagne and beer for the nerves. The ceremony on the rooftop terrace was a dream. Picture a summer evening with the sun almost setting over the hillside, it’s breath taking. The area with the stairs up to the hillside played a very important role as a beautiful back drop to our first-looks. And we found that a lot of our guest loved taking pictures up there. The way the wedding party all comes up through the bridal suite was awesome as it helped keep what everyone looks like a secret. The reception area is my favorite of this venue. The integrated lighting system made me feel like I was on stage and yet my entire guests had a front row seat to it all. They let you choose different color combinations for the walls and outside, very pretty at night. Spotlights and low lights really set the mood. The food, man were the rumors true. Everything that came out of those doors was amazing; we got tons of compliments on the food from our guests. My favorite was the pistachio crusted sea bass. The drinks were exceptional as well, compliments to the bartenders for not diluting the drinks and making sure everyone had a great time and was not thirsty. Plus, Scott made sure the bars had our signature drinks listed when we forgot to make one ourselves, clutch! We ended with a sparkler exit which was beautiful in that lit up drive way. And even though I was having too much fun to remember what to do at the end, Scott made sure that our things were packed and either stored for a later pick up date or given to my designated family member (and not to mention already in her car) so that we were good to go. I only wish this night lasted longer, we enjoyed every minute of our wedding day and Seven Degrees is a huge reason as to why.

before our event and the day of. All the Seven Degree staff do such a wonderful job. Each year we have this event, they help us out by going above and beyond. Our guests rave about the food and deserts! The short ribs are delicious. Thanks again for making it possible for us to raise funds on behalf of our organization International Sanctuary.

have the feeling all of the planners here know exactly what to do and what works. The key is not to re-invent the wheel.. If Mariah suggested something-I took her suggestion-since she is the expert! Food: OMG! The food! Everyone has raved about it. We did the cheese & apricot bread, crab cake, and steak skewers for appetizers. For dinner we chose the sea bass and the rib eye with a wine reduction sauce. It was ridiculously good! Location: Seven Degrees is beautiful on it's own.. throw a little flowers on it and it becomes a dream. This venue was built to have parties! Plus they have so many little extras that you can add-and are great! Like chandelier's and lounge couches-for a reasonable price! They also have the permit for the sparklers-super fun! I wouldn't change a thing for our wedding. Take me back!! It was so much fun. They were so on top of it-that it made for one stress free bride.

ful and accommodating to what we wanted. The food was amazing, receiving high praises from our guests. The team at Seven-Degrees know how to host a wedding, and this was reflected on the great time that we and our guests had. Our guests were absolutely blown away with how great the wedding was. The team will work with you throughout the whole planning process so you can have the wedding you want, and we were amazed with the amount of stuff included in the wedding package. Basically, with what the venue provided and the staff's help, it made planning a lot easier. With the amount of back-and-forth communication and changes in details, we are so grateful for how flexible the team was in accommodating us. And, we felt that we were taken of very well on the day of. Shout out to Scott, our coordinator, for making our day special. Super helpful and receptive throughout the whole process.

ning the building is from front. We then discovered the amazing customer service and professionalism that come with venue. Our wedding planner was AMAZING. And then we were not disappointed by the final product! Everything went better the planned, the food was delicious, and the bar tenders kept our drinking crowd happy. To top it off, nothing is better than Laguna Beach for a wedding, it’s such a special place for guests. 100% happy with Seven Degrees. Can’t wait to go back for a hosted dinner there on our anniversary!

ping us create what many people tell us was the best wedding ever! (We're biased and agree!!)

n room, to the rooftop terrace everything was top notch. The food was spectacular: we received nothing but praise for the food that was served that night. (In fact, people are still mentioning the short ribs.) There are many amazing things that the venue offered and delivered for us in spades, but the main reason why we sing its praises is the awesome people that we worked with at Seven-Degrees. My ex-fiancée and I wanted to throw a non-traditional carnival-inspired wedding that was essentially a cavalcade of just random things we enjoy. Basically, it was a chaotic mess of an idea but it was a fun mess. On top of that, we tried to design and make as much as we possibly could ourselves. Obviously this was a recipe for frustration and potential disaster but we were extremely fortunate to have Seven-Degree’s event coordinator Morgan Smith help us out. She is an absolute gem. She was there whenever we needed advisement, was willing to help us out with whatever strange request we had (which there were many), and was very knowledgeable and accommodating during the planning process. With Morgan’s help we felt like we were able to take care of most if not all the things we had on our to-do list, and honestly felt great going into the actual day of the wedding. I can’t begin to stress how important that was for our sanity. During the wedding day itself, everyone at Seven-Degrees were phenomenal. Morgan and her team set up everything perfectly and used their expertise to call the right audibles when needed. Some things looked better than we had even planned! Logistically, everything from setting up the venue, the timing of the event, and the service itself were impeccable; however, it were the smaller things that Morgan did for us that day that really stood out. Morgan made sure to remind and give us moments to breathe, relax, take a break, grab a bite to eat, grab a drink, enjoy life, etc. It were these nuanced personal touches that really made us believe that we absolutely made the right choice with Seven-Degrees. Because of the awesome job Morgan and the staff did for us, the night went off swimmingly, and we’re lucky to able to remember that night forever fondly, free of any mishaps or incidents. I can’t possibly think of anything else we could have asked for. So to everyone at Seven-Degrees (especially Tabitha, Katie, Tim and of course Morgan), thank you so so much, my now-wife and I are eternally grateful.

us a modern-loving couple. The rooftop dressed up perfectly for our ceremony with drapery above and the hills behind us. The rooftop became the cocktail hour to entertain guests while we went to take pictures. The walk was easy between the rooftop and the reception hall, where our guests enjoyed a video we made and our first dance. They easily accommodated all vendors (if the casino tables I booked last minute), and even granted us a customized menu selection. The price was all inclusive of our fees, catering, and bar, which made it really easy to keep track of our budget. The coordinator and the rest of the staff were great!! Can’t recommend it enough. Thank you, Seven Degrees!

running smoothly before and during the wedding!), and the aesthetic. Seven-degrees is a great mix of modern, whimsy, and natural beauty. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out -- not one major thing went wrong -- which I think speaks volumes of the quality of the staff. Thanks again for making sure our special day was magical.
