The coordinators consistently go above and beyond to tailor the day, handle last-minute requests, and keep everything on track.

They really made a situation feel easy and stress free. The amount of support and checks in, the phone calls when I had silly questions and just the venue in itself - so beautiful and just had a great vibe

LAqua gives an affordable, reasonable rates for wedding reception. The food was amazing, and my guests absolutely loves it. The venue is so pretty, good lighting, nice deck outside. Irene was great, she helped us alot coordinating the event. Very helpful even when we were overdue with some tasks. Bijay was really great too. The groom drank too much and vomitted. He comforted him and supported and walked him all the way to the car. The overall service and experience is more than 5 stars.
