We had our wedding here April 4, 2025 and it couldn't have been more perfect. We are mountain people and even though the weather was chilly, our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. We rented out all 5 cabins for family members, had smores around the fireplace at night, and oue ceremony overlooking the ski slops of Big Bear. This is a place we have come back to since our wedding and will stay nowhere else in Big Bear. Billy and Alyssa were amazing and so friendly and accomodating. Billy actually was oir officient and was fantastic. Can't say enough great things about this place.

From the moment we inquired about hosting our wedding at Bella Vista Estate Garden, Rima was incredibly communicative, accommodating, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was unparalleled. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - the clean, organized, and spacious grounds provided the perfect scenic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our wedding day was October 18, I can still feel the nervousness of it all. When I felt like I wasn’t ready to walk down the isle on the day of the wedding, Rima was there to reassure me and offer words of encouragement. She and Robert truly went above and beyond to ensure Brian and I, as well as all of our guests, felt welcomed and cared for. Even when a minor incident occurred where my husband and I were a bit intoxicated, Rima and Robert responded quickly and discreetly to make sure we were safe. We felt like family to them, and our wedding day was a magical, romantic memory that we will cherish forever. Rima and Robert are the most sweet and genuine people we've ever met. We would recommend this venue to anyone & everyone we meet who is looking for a beautiful & special venue, you will be in great hands with Rima.

With 350 acres of untouched Mojave Desert, the estate offers soon-to-be-weds a chance to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.

  • No free parking
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
The Morada was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. As soon as we pulled up we knew it was the right place. The accommodations were sparkling clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The kitchen in the main house is thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked, which made our stay even more homey. It's not cold and thoughtless like a lot of AirBnb's these days— it feels like someone's treasured home that's so well cared for and cozy. There was a lack of closet space which made it a little tricky given we had a lot of formal wear to hang, but we made it work. The casita is also well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. The owners allowed us to customize the space a bit to our liking, and the extra house allowed us some much-needed privacy during our wedding weekend. The outdoors are breathtaking and the big, open sky is stunning. The sunsets and stars are like no other— it feels like you have the desert to yourself. We enjoyed short hikes on the property, and there is plenty of outdoor seating to rest and relax in the shade. The bonfires at night were a great addition when it got a bit chilly and for some added romantic atmosphere. Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was— and while perfection wasn't our goal, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebration of our love. I'd be remiss to not mention Pablo and Devon specifically, who were incredibly helpful throughout the process, but especially in the weeks and days leading up to the event. Devon helped us navigate any logistical questions or challenges, including everything from a significant amount of package deliveries to requests for extra clothes hangers. We encountered an unprecedented rainstorm the day after our event, and Pablo helped us move our rentals under the porch to avoid any damage fees. Every time we looked up from our to-do list, Pablo and Devon were busy getting the grounds ready for us while simultaneously somehow staying out of the way of the main action. They were like our fairy godparents. I cannot thank them enough for their labor which contributed greatly to everything running smoothly. I highly recommend using a day-of planner or coordinator to help navigate the vendors— our amazing planner, Yu and Us, stepped in to do this and it helped us focus on other details while the groundwork of the party was laid out. We mostly used vendors recommended by the venue as it is a unique location that requires some extra logistics. We held 3 events— a welcome dinner & Paebaek (Korean tea ceremony), the wedding, and a brunch— all outside, and all special in their own ways. We also stayed an extra night, Wednesday through Monday, which I can't recommend enough so you can soak in the beauty of the space and the desert as long as possible. As a lesbian interracial couple, we never received even the slightest hint of judgement or negativity from anyone we interacted with. We're grateful to have experienced a space that felt safe for queer people, both for ourselves and our guests. There wasn't a moment where we didn't feel welcome and celebrated. Thank you to the Morada team for an unforgettable week!

My husband and I had been searching everywhere for a wedding venue that could also offer overnight accommodations at the time and, most importantly, privacy. When we found Panorama Paradiso Villa, it felt like everything just clicked. The property is tucked away in the hills of Temecula — peaceful, private, and surrounded by the most beautiful views. It’s hard to explain until you see it in person, but the space just has this calming, open feel that immediately puts you at ease. We didn’t want the typical crowded venue experience, and this villa gave us the chance to host our celebration exactly how we imagined it — just us and our closest friends and family. The deck was our favorite part — huge, with lounge seating and a perfect sunset view. It was the dream setting for our dinner and dancing. Having the accommodation included was a huge bonus. We were able to stay on-site with immediate family, which made everything so much easier and more meaningful. Everyone felt relaxed and taken care of. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers real privacy, space to celebrate, and the comfort of staying overnight, this is hands down the best option out there. We feel so lucky to have found it.
