“The Retreat By Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly easy to communicate with and replied to all of our questions thoroughly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning outdoor area that overlooks the rolling hills of Corona. They also have a great indoor space that was perfect for our reception when the weather turned chilly. On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredibly accommodating - when it got unexpectedly cold, they immediately brought in two space heaters to keep us warm at the sweetheart table. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to the Wedgewood Weddings team for helping make our special day perfect.”

The staff was wonderful to work with, attentive in all of our communications leading up to the wedding and up front pricing. They made everything so easy and stress-free for us as we planned. On the day-of, they ensured everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could relax and focus on celebrating with our loved ones.

“READ THIS REVIEW - Signing with Wedgewood Weddings is HANDS DOWN the best wedding decision we made. We recommend this decision to absolutely anyone; the time saved by having a complete, professional, experienced team who already have rock star vendors provided us the foundation to simply enjoy with our friends and family on the big day. Truffle pig was the first venue we viewed, and after meeting their entire team - we knew instantly we would be married here and in good hands (thanks Maddie for the time spent!). Wedgewood weddings made sure to hold our hands in the 9 months of wedding planning - and when we had a literal house fire 3 months before - the Wedgewood team sprung into action. Their communication was unmatched, they outlined every action item and gave us recommendations along the way. We have gone to over 30 weddings together and NO ONE has had a planning team like Wedgewood. Their experience with countless weddings gave us so much comfort - we knew they would solve problems so we didn't have to. They made wedding planning fun - and allowed "the bride to be a bride" - making decisions / coordinating so we could soak up the moments. Allison was our day of coordinator and she was simply perfect. Allison kept our bridal party in-line and efficient while ensuring everyone was laughing (yet keeping the bride and groom calm!). Her energy in the bridal suite is a moment the bride will always remember - with a calming yet excited presence. When the bride's dress unexpectedly ripped, she helped with a needle and thread to solve it! We cannot emphasize enough - Allison felt like a blessing we prayed for, and our day went perfect because of how happy she was while hustling in the background. The venue was gorgeous - our guests felt like they were seamlessly guided throughout the day (always with a drink in hand!). The food was exceptional (shoutout to the chef!) and the drinks went down easy. Wedgewood provided an unmatched efficiency - with a schedule, action items, checklists and multiple meetings to ensure our day was exactly as envisioned. Simply put - Wedgewood was worth every penny - and we were able to be present with our family and friends day of because we trusted Wedgewood had our backs.”
