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!

The Outpost was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding vendor. Their communication style was very clear, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and attention to detail was superb - the property was super clean and beautifully groomed, providing the perfect setting for our intimate outdoor event. Despite a myriad of potential issues due to acts of God, the team at The Outpost made everyone on their property, from guests, and vendors to the bridal party, feel comfortable and at ease. The Outpost's natural aesthetic is perfect for any combination of modern and rustic events, and I highly recommend them to any couple, family retreat, or business team looking for a stunning venue for their special events.

We had our surprise wedding proposal here in June 2021. We were able to have our party of friends stay on the premises and my fiancee (now wife) was pleasantly surprised. I was able to propose to her on the rooftop with the most beautiful sunset in the background with the hills as a stunning backdrop. Being able to have such an experience with our closest friends lodged on-site was one of the best memories ever for everyone that was there and everyone talks about how legendary this was. Our hosts were amazing, responsive providing all the information about how to get the best out of our stay and more. Super super recommend Sany on the Hill for an unforgettable romantic experience!
