The Asistencia — Attraction in Redlands

I don’t usually comment on these but I finally decided to rate my experience. First off brides, book elsewhere. I had a good experience with the manager all the up until the wedding. There was major miscommunication and she ended up making decisions on her own without talking about them with her paying customers. She also closed down one of my rooms while it was raining and even hit a few of my guests with the chairs while putting them away, which mind you it wasn’t even time to clean up yet, the party was still going. Every action she took upon Herself was negative and when asked about it she took no accountability she blamed my vendors and my guests yet it was all her doing. She asked my guests during my wedding to move cars 3 times even though we met a week prior where I asked her if anything else was needed. She could’ve gave me time to book shuttle services but again she made decisions on her own. Brides please do yourself the favor and do not book here. Coming from a type A planner October 2022 bride like myself she definitely left a horrible impression of this organization and venue. Oh and she’ll charge you for cobwebs and grease even though you didn’t even cook in the kitchen and “the bridal suite” was under construction the restroom didn’t even have a door. Point is TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. Please it’s not worth it, not until there is another manager in place and someone who actually likes working for the community...

A Fantastic Venue for Strada Rossa XI – Beautiful, Well-Run, and Delicious!

Attending the 11th iteration of Strada Rossa in Redlands this past weekend was an absolute delight, and much of that is thanks to the incredible venue that hosted the event. The mission-style building was not only beautiful but also well-maintained, offering a perfect blend of historic charm and functional space. The outdoor areas were equally impressive—well-kept, inviting, and a wonderful place to relax and soak in the post-ride atmosphere.

The event’s organization and coordination were flawless. Everything ran smoothly, from check-in to post-ride festivities, showing the dedication and attention to detail of the event staff. It truly made for an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

One of the standout aspects of the day was the meal prepared by the on-site kitchen. The food was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what was needed after a long day on the bike. The kitchen staff deserves high praise for crafting such a satisfying and well-prepared meal that left everyone refueled and happy.

Overall, this venue was the perfect setting for Strada Rossa XI. With its stunning mission-style architecture, pleasant outdoor spaces, exceptional event coordination, and top-notch food, it provided a memorable experience. I highly recommend this location for any event looking for a mix of charm, efficiency, and...

My husband and I are always on the lookout for local gems, and the Asistencia is an absolute treasure right in our backyard. Walking onto the grounds is like stepping back in time. The peace and quiet are a welcome break from the everyday hustle, and you can almost feel the history in the old adobe walls. It's a beautifully preserved piece of the Inland Empire's story. As a hobbyist photographer, this place is a dream. Even from the outside, every angle offers a new composition – from the iconic bell wall and the simple, beautiful chapel to the surrounding gardens and rustic textures. The light on the historic structures is just magical, perfect for capturing some truly atmospheric shots. It's the ideal spot for a quiet afternoon adventure without having to travel far. We spent a wonderful hour just exploring the exterior, soaking in the serene atmosphere and, of course, taking plenty of pictures to reminisce over later. Whether you're a history buff, a hobbyist photographer, or just looking for a beautiful, peaceful escape for an hour or two, the Asistencia is a must-visit. Five stars...
