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.

Lorimar Vineyards And Winery was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, the communication with the main coordinator Jenn was quick and respectful - she was always available to answer our questions and help us organize everything needed for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a luxurious and spacious feel that provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The only slight downside was that Jenn was unexpectedly out on the day of our wedding due to circumstances out of her control, but the rest of the staff tried their best to keep things smooth. We are thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Lorimar Vineyards And Winery to any couple looking for a stunning, high-quality wedding venue.

Longshadow Ranch Winery was a beautiful venue for our wedding day. For the price, you can't beat the lush location that allowed us to fully customize the event to our liking without the venue dictating how our special day would flow. Dave was amazing to work with throughout the planning process and really made us feel we had the freedom to craft the wedding of our dreams. The only hiccups were some communication issues with the office staff in the final two months leading up to the big day regarding payments and contract details. While delayed, after contacting Dave on this matter, we did eventually get responses to email inquiries but a phone call option would have been preferred for timely resolutions. Overall, it was a beautiful venue and great value, we just wish the communication was more consistent in those important final weeks. Everything was 5 stars, unfortunately the communication, which I value a great deal, was the only lacking quality. Which, if this is the only area to improve, I think this speaks to the overall quality of the venue. Note: I would give 4.5 if I could!

Tim and Kirsten were absolutely incredible. From the moment we met them, their passion for Stone Oak Manor and their genuine care for every guest were undeniable. Their love for what they do shines through in every detail they plan and every experience they create. My husband and I had the honor of being their very first elopement— and their first LGBTQ wedding! From the initial tour, we knew this was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The manor is breathtaking, with stunning grounds and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The warm scent of aged wood added to the relaxing and tranquil charm of the space. We can’t recommend Stone Oak Manor enough. It’s truly a magical place. With love, Tim Steve

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!

My husband and I got married at Secluded Garden Estate back in February. I have no regrets in choosing this venue. There were some hiccups right before and after our event happened. The venue owners were very kind and welcoming to us and what our vision was. It is on their home property so be prepared to share the smaller Bridal Suite area and possibly hear some noise as you’re getting ready. There was no all inclusive package available for us so we had to bring EVERYTHING and get it from, outside vendors. We chose this so that we could make it more our own. They did offer heaters for a certain price but we chose not to use them after all. The day of staff were so incredibly helpful, all the men that were there offered to lend a helping hand to our family as they cleaned up. Because of this, there was some miscommunication between us and the vendor owners. So, please be clear with the staff that you do not want to get charged for something that you aren’t supposed to. Also, make sure to just communicate with the owners of how you should coordinate with the vendors, such as day and time of drop off and pick up. (Ex. Tables and chairs) Overall, we loved this venue. It was what we had envisioned for our special day and we are blessed because of it. Hope this helped someone!!! :D

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!

My husband and I just had our wedding at Willow Creek Events this month and the venue and day was absolutely magical! If you’re looking for an outdoor venue with whimsical and garden vibes, you NEED to check it out. My husband and I had to start over venue hunting about 6 months prior to the wedding due to disorganization and terrible communication with our original venue. Bethany (the venue coordinator) and Willow Creek Events was literally the answer to our prayers. Bethany was always so thorough and reliable with her communication and responses, with scheduling walkthroughs with our vendors and she had flexibility and quick solutions for any and all unexpected situations. We felt so taken care of, the venue is pet-friendly, and on the day-of, everything turned out EVEN BETTER than we could’ve imagined or thought possible. The entire staff at Willow Creek Events were amazing and so friendly, our guests loved every aspect of the wedding and we can’t thank Bethany and the whole Willow Creek Events staff enough.

I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding at Kashmir, and it was such a special experience. The property is incredibly unique - from the wide-open desert views to the thoughtful details across the main house, studio, and outdoor spaces. Every corner offers a beautiful backdrop for photos and events. The venue’s layout made it easy to host both the ceremony and reception comfortably, with plenty of room for guests to mingle and celebrate. The owners were so kind and accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the weekend. It’s the perfect hidden gem for couples looking for an intimate, elevated desert experience.

The Riverside Art Museum was an absolute pleasure to work with for a wedding I DJ for. Their communication style was caring, thoughtful, considerate, detailed, and professional throughout the first of contact til day of the wedding, and throughout. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was truly impressive - the venue was elegant, with breathtaking views that made for a truly memorable setting. When the ceremony ran behind schedule do to the bride not present as of yet, the staff was incredibly accommodating. One thing I must note that I don't see to often. They stayed out of the way until all of the guests had departed before efficiently breaking down the space. It's shows their thoughts are on the couples having a great time up until the last minute and giving the guest time to exit. Not trying to clean up and break down around the guest just to get off sooner. Kisbel (Event Manager) and the entire team felt like close friends committed to making their friends special day a success! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and staff to had worked with for the first time. Highly Recommended!
