The Best Covered Outdoor Wedding Venues in Aguanga, CA

“Lot 8 was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we started working with Kim and the team, their communication was attentive and they were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. On the day of, we did not have to worry about a single thing - the staff took care of everything seamlessly. The venue itself was the best value, with ample space for our 160 guests. The food from Eco Catering was delicious, and our photography team of Kristin and Mike captured all the special moments beautifully. DJ Harmz kept the dance floor packed all night long, and we and our guests had the greatest time celebrating our special day at Lot 8. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!”

“Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect. If you're envisioning a fairytale garden wedding like I was, choose this venue!”

“We got married at CRC Ranch this September, and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning — surrounded by beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. One of the best parts was the variety of on-site lodging options for our guests, which made the entire weekend so convenient and enjoyable for everyone. Tracey, Leslie, and Lacey from the CRC staff were amazing in every way. They were helpful, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us. Tracey was absolutely amazing in every way. From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, she offered vendor recommendations and shared her honest, thoughtful opinions, which we truly appreciated. Throughout the process, Tracey regularly checked in with me, making sure I felt supported and didn’t have any unanswered questions. When it came to our rehearsal and the big day itself, Tracey went above and beyond. She ensured every detail aligned with our vision, kept everything running smoothly and on time, and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. Her presence brought us so much peace of mind. There’s no doubt in our minds — our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was without Tracey. She was an essential part of making our day perfect.”

From the very first interaction, their communication was consistently clear, easy to understand, and they were always available to answer any questions we had. We felt supported the entire planing process and on the big day. The team was on top of every detail, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch.

Rancho Bellasanté

“Where do I begin? My husband and I debated whether to have a large wedding in downtown LA where we work and live. Most of our family and friends live and work there too, so we wanted to be as accommodating for travel and hotel stays. But as time passed, we realized that's not really what WE wanted. What we wanted was to feel somewhere else, somewhere far away and secluded from the city without actually traveling hours and hours. Rancho Bellasante provided that and more. The ranch is gorgeous and there are plenty of options for ceremony and reception sites. Trust me, it was not an easy decision on where to be married as all sites were gorgeous. We ended up choosing the Agave Grotto for the Ceremony and the Sycamore Terrance for reception. Everyone raved about the views from the Ranch and just how warm and inviting it felt. We got married in October so the trees at the Sycamore terrance were turning colors giving the reception that autumn feel we were hoping for. With such a big day, you'll have so many questions for your coordination. Any concerns we had the venue team was ready to answer and accommodate to their fullest. For such an important day, Rancho Bellasante was the perfect venue to be at and work with!”

“Our wedding was perfect. The venue was absolutely beautiful. Danielle and the Peltzer crew were so accommodating that it truly felt like a fairy tale. We had so many hiccups on our end leading up to the date (including emergency surgery for me just 2 weeks prior to the wedding) but I didn’t stress out at all. From the bridal suite cocktails, the air stream for the boys, and our personal chauffeur, Debbie, the entire day was incredible!! I’m still smiling thinking of it. Not to mention, the amount of compliments I received afterwards about the atmosphere, the food, and the experience were amazing. So many people took the time to tell me it was the best wedding they had been to. If you want a dream wedding, then Peltzer is where you need to go!”

Inn At Churon Winery

Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)

“Churon Winery is pure magic. We cannot possibly thank the team at Churon enough for the magic that they created on our wedding day. We would highly encourage all considering Churon to cease their search. Churon has everything you could imagine and more. We chose Churon Winery as our venue for so many reasons, and Meilee, the venue coordinator, was one of the main reasons. Meilee cares so much about her couples as her clients. She is attentive to every detail, exceptionally responsive, accommodating to ideas, and so very kind. She is knowledgeable and does not leave any detail untouched. She gave us a great deal of confidence that we were in good hands. And, she gets the job done above and beyond what we could have expected. Churon’s staff is so kind. From Danni in the wine tasting room to Julie’s welcome at the front desk to Chef Enrique and his entire staff to Paola and her housekeeping team. Our stay was a delight. All guests receive a free glass of wine upon check in where they are welcomed by the best tasting staff. The rooms are a dream and easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Paola keeps the rooms immaculate. You walk in and think you are walking into a room in Tuscany, Italy. The hot air balloons rise every morning and this is visible from right outside the rooms. Our guests got to enjoy this sight with coffee on their balcony or on the inn terrace each morning. Breakfast is complimentary each morning of your stay and this breakfast outdoes any breakfast: eggs benedict, croissant sandwiches, omelets, orange juice and mimosas, and so much more. Our guests could not believe the service. Staying onsite was a lovely touch as we all had the morning to enjoy ourselves before the ceremony. Chef Enrique outdid himself with the food for the reception. Guests raved about the food. He clearly takes pride in his recipes. He even makes his own Chardonnay dressing for the salads! We also had a delightful time at our tasting. The venue itself is a vision. From the gazebo where you say “I do” to the many vineyards that sit in the distance to the market lights lighting the reception area. Each part of the evening has its own section, so the flow of the day is flawless. Set up and take down was also flawless. Meilee and Paola think of every detail; we had nothing to worry about. And, one of the best parts is that your room is just steps away. The Churon team has become like family to us. We never could have imagined that signing a contract with Churon would enter us into a phenomenal community of people that we look forward to visiting for many years to come. We became wine members because we are so excited to stay connected and plan to celebrate on our anniversary there every year. We highly recommend Churon for all size weddings and especially for those seeking an intimate ceremony that offers you the opportunity to celebrate and spend time with guests all weekend. Thank you, Churon team. We are so very grateful for all you have invested in us. We will be living in this dream for many years to come and owe you a lifetime of thanks. Truly. See you next month to enjoy more wine on the terrace!”

When we first toured the venue, we were blown away that we could actually have our wedding in such a beautiful and unique setting. The entire experience, from our initial tour and planning through the wedding day itself, went incredibly smoothly. Our sales coordinator, Magda, was informative, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. That responsiveness stood out immediately. When I first called, I was able to speak with someone right away and schedule a tour within a couple of weeks. With other venues, we sometimes waited weeks just to hear back. The planning process itself was an absolute breeze. Our coordinators, Anna and Delaney, gave us their full attention throughout, and the wedding day went as smoothly as we could have hoped. We were blown away when we saw the venue with the tables, flowers, and full setup in place. Another huge plus was the included park admission. Many of our guests spent the day exploring the Safari Park before the wedding and loved it, which made the whole experience even more memorable. The catered food was also absolutely delicious and genuinely exceeded our expectations. Overall, the Safari Park was an easy 5/5 for us. The setting is spectacular, the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience felt incredibly special. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding venue—especially animal lovers.”

“Green Gables by Trademark Venues was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful - April Sosa in particular was amazing to work with. The venue itself was beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-organized, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without stress or worry. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of both emotionally and physically, and they were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and we would highly recommend Green Gables to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free venue for their big day.”

“We could not be more happy with Forgotten Barrel! Alyssa was wonderful and the vendors included in their all inclusive package (catering, dj, & dessert) were great to work with. The space itself is so pretty and has excellent amenities like both getting ready spaces, plenty of parking, and nice bathrooms. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

Starts at $15,950

Set within a hidden tropical oasis in Oceanside, California, Botanica is a romantic garden wedding venue surrounded by natural spring-fed waterfalls, tranquil ponds, lush greenery, and refreshing coastal breezes. Designed for couples seeking an outdoor wedding venue in North San Diego County, Botanica offers a celebration experience that feels private, peaceful, and beautifully immersed in nature. Couples can begin the day tucked away in the serene Bougainvillea Cottage or the indoor-outdoor Cabana before choosing from three distinctive ceremony settings, including The Cove, The Tree, and the Tropical Forest. Guests then gather in the Heart of the Garden, where shaded forest, billowing drapery, blooming florals, historic trees, and trickling fountains create an intimate alfresco reception setting filled with movement, texture, and romance.

“Our wedding at Botanica by Trademark Venues was truly everything we could have hoped for and more. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, transparent, and so positive. Our planner, Mikaela, was absolutely amazing! She was so understanding, supportive, easy to work with, and always responsive. She answered every question we had and made the entire planning process feel stress-free. On the wedding day, she helped everything run so smoothly not just for me and my husband, but also for our family who were helping throughout the day. We even requested for aisle decor to be placed at the sweetheart table afterwards and the team did exactly that! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and honestly speaks for itself. We had a large guest count of around 200 people, and everyone kept raving about how beautiful it was. What we loved most was how it felt both spacious and intimate at the same time, which made the entire celebration feel so special. The food was also delicious! We chose the family-style dinner, and it was such a great decision! Everyone loved sharing the meal together, and the portions were generous. We also added the late-night taco bar and ice cream, and both were a huge hit with our guests! We brought our own alcohol, and it was such a nice touch that they provided all the glassware and ice for us. Every single thing we requested was done exactly how we envisioned, and there were truly no mishaps. Everything stayed on schedule, and the entire day flowed seamlessly. We have Mikaela and the whole Botanica team to thank for making our wedding day so unforgettable. We can’t recommend Mikaela and the team at Botanica enough!”

“My husband and I got married June 2023 at one of their beachfront properties in Lake Elsinore. They made sure the beach looked perfect before our wedding day and it was completely stress free communication with them. Our vendors came and set up with ease and it wowed our guest when they arrived. We had our wedding and reception area on the beach, a bar and lounge area in the courtyard with our 360 Photo Booth setup, and way more parking than we needed. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again. They were affordable and I liked them so much I used another one of their lake venues for my baby shower!”

“Let me start off by saying, I was a girl who never cared to get married, until I found Sacred Mountain Julian. I knew immediately from their photos, I needed to book my wedding there. Right when they announced their 2023 reservations were open, I immediately booked a walk through and basically booked my fall wedding. First off, the Sunset Plateau is so amazing and breathtaking to say your vows. I specifically told my photographer that I wanted to take as many photos possible on the property. Every area offers photos ops of your liking. The team there is amazing to work with. I recommend visiting the property to see the beauty for yourself.”
