“I am truly not even sure where to start with how magnificent Newhall Mansion was as a wedding venue. The house itself is breathtaking and truly showstopping -- my husband and I drove away from our first venue tour knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the place we were meant to be married. Every inch of the house is absolutely stunning. One of the hardest decisions we had to make was which backdrop to use for our ceremony, because there were no bad options! Our photographers had a multitude of options for backdrops and establishing shots for our wedding video. It gave every inch of California chic, but also eccentric old money, and every single touch was intentional and well thought out. Our menu was thoughtfully designed by Chef Giancarlo, and four months later my mother is still lamenting the fact that she did not bring home leftovers because the filet that we chose to serve was so spectacular. We LOVED the option for family style dining as it allowed for all of the best parts of a buffet (self-serve, dietary restrictions already accommodated, opportunity for seconds) with the elegance of a plated meal. Crystal, the venue manager, was thoughtful, kind, patient, considerate, and timely in all of her communication leading up to the wedding, and was on-site for the entire weekend. We LOVED having the chance to invite some of our closest friends and family to stay at the house with us the night before and the night of the wedding. Some of my most cherished memories from the weekend are from the night before and the morning after, where we were surrounded by the people who love us. It was also absolutely wonderful to be able to arrive a day early to get set up, and then have an extra morning to get everything packed up and ready to take home. And on the actual day of the event, the event staff were truly amazing. Under the leadership of Crystal, Giancarlo, and Rick, and the guidance of our INCREDIBLE day-of coordinators Melissa and Sandy (from Tricia Dahlgren Events, who I also highly recommend), the event ran without a single hitch. I never, ever thought that, as a type-A bride with a background in event planning, I would be able to put my phone down, unplug, and float through my day -- but I could!! I truly cannot say enough about Newhall Mansion. They set the perfect backdrop for my dream wedding, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is planning a unique, slightly quirky, but classy and chic wedding.”

“The Ojai Retreat & Inn was everything we could have asked for for our wedding in early November!! We rented the whole property for our wedding party and the weekend felt like a dream oasis! Before the wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serenity of the Ojai Retreat by taking a stroll on the nature path. We also enjoyed nearby restaurants (Bonnie Lu's for breakfast and Ca'Marco for our Rehearsal Dinner) that were a short car ride away. We used the living room area and the upstairs library for getting ready spaces and they were well air-conditioned and provided more than enough space for all of us- without the groom seeing the bride, of course. Then during our ceremony and reception, the beauty of the landscape and views made for marvelous photos and memories! It was truly magical and felt like an enchanted fairytale! On top of the beauty of the property, everyone who works at the Ojai Retreat & Inn is so kind and helpful! A special thank you to Dana and Lia for your help and to all the workers who helped move lawn furniture before our rentals needed to unload. They were so flexible with us and worked with us on our many random questions and requests. We can't wait to come back to the Ojai Retreat & Inn for our anniversaries!!”
