So happy with WW. They answered all questions I had throughout the process and were easily accessible. The Retreat was such a beautiful venue and they did such a great job. A lot of our guests said “it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to”. Super on top of it! I’m a little neurotic with planning in general and they followed instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond. Only issue - don’t get Tom as your DJ, or else you’ll be disappointed because he doesn’t do remixes or follows instructions diligently. He was good at making announcements, but as far as music goes, I would have been better off playing music off of my phone. They have a DJ that you’re required to use as part of the package because it’s in a residential neighborhood, but they do have other DJ’s aside from Tom. Otherwise everything else that WW did was fantastic.

The winery, very much like its name, felt a lot like opening a book to read. So warm and inviting. And the history they know about their selections is impressive. They are small and family owned but very warm, very inviting, very cottagcore... which is my favorite. And they love to pair books and wine palettes/notes together, which I've never seen anyone else do. Highly recommend.

  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
The Morada was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. As soon as we pulled up we knew it was the right place. The accommodations were sparkling clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The kitchen in the main house is thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked, which made our stay even more homey. It's not cold and thoughtless like a lot of AirBnb's these days— it feels like someone's treasured home that's so well cared for and cozy. There was a lack of closet space which made it a little tricky given we had a lot of formal wear to hang, but we made it work. The casita is also well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. The owners allowed us to customize the space a bit to our liking, and the extra house allowed us some much-needed privacy during our wedding weekend. The outdoors are breathtaking and the big, open sky is stunning. The sunsets and stars are like no other— it feels like you have the desert to yourself. We enjoyed short hikes on the property, and there is plenty of outdoor seating to rest and relax in the shade. The bonfires at night were a great addition when it got a bit chilly and for some added romantic atmosphere. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was— and while perfection wasn't our goal, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebration of our love. I'd be remiss to not mention Pablo and Devon specifically, who were incredibly helpful throughout the process, but especially in the weeks and days leading up to the event. Devon helped us navigate any logistical questions or challenges, including everything from a significant amount of package deliveries to requests for extra clothes hangers. We encountered an unprecedented rainstorm the day after our event, and Pablo helped us move our rentals under the porch to avoid any damage fees. Every time we looked up from our to-do list, Pablo and Devon were busy getting the grounds ready for us while simultaneously somehow staying out of the way of the main action. They were like our fairy godparents. I cannot thank them enough for their labor which contributed greatly to everything running smoothly. I highly recommend using a day-of planner or coordinator to help navigate the vendors— our amazing planner, Yu and Us, stepped in to do this and it helped us focus on other details while the groundwork of the party was laid out. We mostly used vendors recommended by the venue as it is a unique location that requires some extra logistics. We held 3 events— a welcome dinner & Paebaek (Korean tea ceremony), the wedding, and a brunch— all outside, and all special in their own ways. We also stayed an extra night, Wednesday through Monday, which I can't recommend enough so you can soak in the beauty of the space and the desert as long as possible. As a lesbian interracial couple, we never received even the slightest hint of judgement or negativity from anyone we interacted with. We're grateful to have experienced a space that felt safe for queer people, both for ourselves and our guests. There wasn't a moment where we didn't feel welcome and celebrated. Thank you to the Morada team for an unforgettable week!

We had our wedding at Danza del Sol Winery by Wedgewood Weddings and it was absolutely beautiful. The venue coordinators were amazing to work with - their communication was above and beyond, always responsive and wanting to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. On the big day, they catered to our every need and made us feel incredibly special. The winery grounds provided a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and reception that took our breath away.

Our guests are still raving about what a beautiful venue it was and how seamless the service and event flow was thanks to the coordinators.

Where to start off, first my Fiancée and I just got married at CRC on 11.10.25 , we want to thank ALL the CRC Staff that came together on our behalf and behind the scenes. To our coordinators Tracey and Tobie for going above and beyond for us. Also to Alex our florist, our beautiful florals and every other staff member who made this day unforgettable. Tracey is well organized and to say she is more than capable is an understatement. Anything we needed, was taken care of. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately. Any issues there may have been, I didn’t even know about and if I found out later it was already resolved with another solution. They truly took care of us at CRC. I can honestly say Tracey, Tobie, and every staff member went above and beyond for us! We are truly overwhelmed with the details, the time, and dedication everyone gave to us that day. It was perfect in every aspect . The food was amazing through their direct caterers, both James and Lorena at Redtail catering took such great care of us and all our guests. We felt the love and support from every angle with the CRC family. Tracey captivated every moment and detail that we asked for with her talented creativity, her transparency, & seasoned experience. Since day one we almost immediately fell in love with the property & knew that we could trust Tracey with this important task of helping us plan our special day. . . A beautiful ranch , in wine country during fall what more could a bride and groom ask for? If you are searching for the perfect Temecula venue look no more. Please book that tour sis you won’t regret it . . . CRC will forever hold a special place in our hearts. . . We thank you all from the bottom of hearts we are truly blessed and are grateful for each and every one of you! May God bless you! With all our love, - The Cornejo’s

My Husband and I were engaged at Churon and decided to have our wedding there as well. We love the beauty of this venue, the setting, as well as the European feel and decor. We wanted a private ceremony (just my Husband and I) and asked Churon to help coordinate our essentials. Churon's event planner arranged a pastor, photographer and florist, all of which could not have been any better. They also referred us to a great hair and makeup artist, AlyRose Beauty who I was also so happy and grateful for. We were also thrilled with our wedding suite which was over the top! Our day was intimate, special and perfect in every way for us. I am so thankful for Churon's understanding of our vision and their efforts and experience in the coordination. I highly recommend this venue for either a large size or private wedding. Thank you Churon!

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!
