This venue has the ability to transform into anything you'd want it to be. Dark and mysterious or bright and ethereal. Brick and Bower is a great new addition to an amazing lineup of venues from Epic Events. Having used their venue Lot 8 for a non-profit event, I was very excited to have toured and booked another event with the Hotel and Event Space, Brick and Bower. I would highly recommend booking this space and making your dreams become a reality.

Step into The Den, where the charm of the Amalfi Coast and the rustic beauty of Tuscany come to life against the coastal backdrop of Newport Beach. Our little Italian family is thrilled to welcome you to a unique space that transcends the ordinary. Less than one mile from the coast, it is a home away from home on the California Riviera. The Den is more than an event venue and creative studio. It's a celebration of community, inspired by the warmth and togetherness found in the heart of Italian family gatherings. Our 1,400-square-foot indoor space is meticulously styled to reflect the enchanting gardens of the Amalfi Coast. Sip a glass of Prosecco at our bar, find solace in the warmth of the fireplace in the garden lounge, and let the soothing melody of our fountain be the soundtrack as you mingle with loved ones between the olive trees. We look forward to sharing true essence of living la dolce vita with you!

The Den has such amazing communication. Tara, the owner, gets back to you right away, which is a refreshing change from the week-long response times at most venues. She is extremely friendly, kind, and goes above and beyond when it comes to accommodating, communicating, and providing clear instructions. The space is gorgeous and breathtaking - I have hosted a few events here and this is definitely my go-to venue. The detailed decor and immaculate cleanliness of the space keep me coming back every time. Tara also includes a vendor list of trustworthy professionals she works with, truly wanting your day to go smoothly. She is extremely accommodating and allows you to have a venue tour prior to booking. The rentals and decorations she already has inside make it a breeze to easily curate the perfect event without having to bring in too much yourself. I have been hosting events at this venue since the beginning of 2025, and Tara consistently exceeds my expectations. I can't imagine hosting my industry events anywhere else - we love The Den!

I've been in the industry since 2014 and the Harper is by far one of my favorite venues to work at! As a planner/coordinator myself, I've worked with several venues and none are as professional and accommodating to its guests as well as its vendors. I always know that everyone that comes through Harper's doors are in good hands from beginning to end. Service is always impeccable--making the wedding planning process and the day-of as seamless as can be! I do not know any vendor nor any couple that has been dissatisfied with the Harper and this speaks volumes to how they treat the people they serve. Will continue to recommend the Harper to my clients who are looking for a beautiful, modern venue that will not disappoint!
