Our Ojai wedding took place on New Year's Day and we booked the entire restaurant for our reception. I grew up in Ojai, so I was completely confident about the quality of their food and atmosphere. I had to plan my the wedding while living on the East Coast, so I was apprehensive that working long distance with Azu might be difficult. Not in the least! I received phenomenal service from first to last.
My guests (especially the 'foodies') raved about the quality of the tapas (served while we were having our pictures done) and couldn't give enough compliments on the buffet dinner that followed. The atmosphere was just what I wanted. We had about 75 guests and probably could have fit 100 without feeling too crowded. We had an open bar before/after dinner and dancing in the back room after the cake. If you are considering holding a reception here I cannot give a more emphatic recommendation. And if you run the numbers I am sure you will agree with me that the price is more than reasonable.
Many thanks to everyone at Azu for making my reception a flawless part of my wedding memories.
