“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!”

“Our wedding at Occasions earlier this month was everything we could have asked for. Dayna, our wedding producer, was excellent. She thought of absolutely everything, made sure we stayed organized (including keeping detailed notes and decor lists), and adjusted things along the timeline and setting based on exactly what we wanted. We only needed a couple of calls with her and some texts back and forth throughout the planning process for everything to come together. Dayna also gave us many recommendations when we asked for other vendors and locations (after party, hotels, luxury restrooms). On the day of, Dayna was organized, communicative (but never interrupted the natural cadence of the day), and kind. She is an absolute pro, and we were in the best hands with her. Andrew, the catering manager at The Cliff, ensured we had an incredible meal that tasted as delicious as the tasting - a hard feat when feeding over 140 people. He was so generous with his time and flexibility, even as we changed our menu and plan multiple times. Family and friends raved about their meals and were impressed with every bite. The rentals, florals, entertainment, and bakery all included was perfect; it made for less work on the front end, and everything was stunning, engaging, and delicious. We have only gotten the highest compliments on our guests on the level of service, the vibe (obviously the setting!), and the timeline of the whole day. We highly recommend the Occasions for any engaged couple looking for a venue with zero reservations. Thank you to the whole Occasions team for making our wedding day so spectacular!”
