My daughter had her Bat Mitzvah reception at Ocotillo last spring and the event was fantastic. Everything went incredibly smoothly, everybody enjoyed the food, the event site has spectacular views, and the staff was superb, anticipating our every need. We had a such a wonderful experience that we have already decided to hold our younger daughter’s reception at Octotillo. –K.F.
