“I was part of the team that produced an event at Maraza during festival season, and the property is exceptional. Located just minutes from the private airport and about six minutes from the festival grounds, it still feels expansive and completely removed. The Maraza team executed seamlessly, and their in-house production capabilities were incredibly impressive from both an event and logistics standpoint.”

“I’ve spent a lot of my life looking at structures and solutions, but what happened at Jackalope Ranch for our wedding wasn't about the architecture of a building—it was about the architecture of a soul-level experience. ​We came into this day looking for something authentic and grounded, and what we found was a crew that didn't just "work" an event; they cared for us like family. Amidst record, unseasonably hot weather that could have easily derailed the outdoor spirit of the day, the staff ensured every moment felt effortless. ​Erinmary and Destiny were quiet anchors. We never had to look for them; they were simply there, anticipating needs before they were even spoken. Lillian and Gilbert are names we will carry with us for the way they treated us - we will say hi from now on when we see them. My friends and family haven't stopped talking about the food—several people told me it was the best they’ve ever had at any wedding, period. Even as someone who isn’t a drinker, I heard nothing but praise for the bartenders and the spirit they brought to the house. ​There is a weight to a day like this, a vulnerability in standing before those you love. Jackalope Ranch gave us the room to breathe. Whether it was the privacy of the events room to cool off, the stunning backdrop for our first look, helping to arrange the seating and tables or the photo shoot at the bar, they gave us the run of the place with our best interests at heart. We felt like celebrities, but more importantly, we felt seen and supported. ​I suggested they could say they "put the elope in Jackalope," but for us, they put the heart in it. It was flawless, honest, and truly unforgettable.”

“We truly had the most amazing experience with Wedgewood Weddings at Galway Downs! Choosing an all-inclusive venue ended up being the perfect balance for us. It took so much of the stress and work out of searching for vendors on our own, while still giving us the flexibility to customize our package and make our wedding feel completely personal to us. Every planner and coordinator we worked with was incredible throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer questions, guide us through decisions, and offer valuable insight while still allowing us to bring our own vision to life. We also absolutely loved the vendors included through Wedgewood. Everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about creating exactly what we wanted. A special shoutout to the vendors we worked with through Wedgewood—our florist, bakery, photographer, and DJ—who all went above and beyond for us! Each of them took the time to understand our vision and helped bring every detail to life so beautifully. The venue was also incredibly flexible in allowing us to bring in additional outside vendors beyond the ones they provide, which made everything feel even more personalized and truly ours. Our wedding turned out even more beautiful than we imagined. We got the ease and support of an all-inclusive experience without sacrificing the ability to personalize our day, and that was exactly what we wanted. It truly felt like our dream wedding came to life, and we are so grateful to the entire Wedgewood and Galway Downs team for making it happen!”

“Churon Winery is pure magic. We cannot possibly thank the team at Churon enough for the magic that they created on our wedding day. We would highly encourage all considering Churon to cease their search. Churon has everything you could imagine and more. We chose Churon Winery as our venue for so many reasons, and Meilee, the venue coordinator, was one of the main reasons. Meilee cares so much about her couples as her clients. She is attentive to every detail, exceptionally responsive, accommodating to ideas, and so very kind. She is knowledgeable and does not leave any detail untouched. She gave us a great deal of confidence that we were in good hands. And, she gets the job done above and beyond what we could have expected. Churon’s staff is so kind. From Danni in the wine tasting room to Julie’s welcome at the front desk to Chef Enrique and his entire staff to Paola and her housekeeping team. Our stay was a delight. All guests receive a free glass of wine upon check in where they are welcomed by the best tasting staff. The rooms are a dream and easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Paola keeps the rooms immaculate. You walk in and think you are walking into a room in Tuscany, Italy. The hot air balloons rise every morning and this is visible from right outside the rooms. Our guests got to enjoy this sight with coffee on their balcony or on the inn terrace each morning. Breakfast is complimentary each morning of your stay and this breakfast outdoes any breakfast: eggs benedict, croissant sandwiches, omelets, orange juice and mimosas, and so much more. Our guests could not believe the service. Staying onsite was a lovely touch as we all had the morning to enjoy ourselves before the ceremony. Chef Enrique outdid himself with the food for the reception. Guests raved about the food. He clearly takes pride in his recipes. He even makes his own Chardonnay dressing for the salads! We also had a delightful time at our tasting. The venue itself is a vision. From the gazebo where you say “I do” to the many vineyards that sit in the distance to the market lights lighting the reception area. Each part of the evening has its own section, so the flow of the day is flawless. Set up and take down was also flawless. Meilee and Paola think of every detail; we had nothing to worry about. And, one of the best parts is that your room is just steps away. The Churon team has become like family to us. We never could have imagined that signing a contract with Churon would enter us into a phenomenal community of people that we look forward to visiting for many years to come. We became wine members because we are so excited to stay connected and plan to celebrate on our anniversary there every year. We highly recommend Churon for all size weddings and especially for those seeking an intimate ceremony that offers you the opportunity to celebrate and spend time with guests all weekend. Thank you, Churon team. We are so very grateful for all you have invested in us. We will be living in this dream for many years to come and owe you a lifetime of thanks. Truly. See you next month to enjoy more wine on the terrace!”

“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.”

“We are still floating on cloud nine after our wedding at Temecula Creek Inn this past weekend. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely magical. We hosted our rehearsal in the beautiful Meadows and used the lush grounds as a backdrop for our bridal party photos in traditional Vietnamese dresses—it made for the most stunning, heartfelt moments. Our actual wedding took place at the Stone House, and it was nothing short of perfection. One of the unexpected highlights of a spring wedding was seeing all the rose bushes in full bloom. The entire property was incredibly green and well-maintained—a noticeable difference from other nearby venues that relied on artificial turf, which felt less authentic in comparison. TCI’s grounds are truly exceptional, with a rustic, romantic charm that brought our Bridgerton-inspired enchanted garden theme to life. From the babbling creek and grand tree canopy to the string lights and lush lawns, every corner of the venue shined with natural beauty. If you're dreaming of an outdoor wedding, look no further. One huge perk is that TCI isn’t subject to a 10pm curfew, which gave us the flexibility to keep the celebration going. Because they’re owned by Pechanga, we were also able to provide guests with shuttle rides to the casino for an unforgettable after-party. And for the golf enthusiasts in our group, the nighttime glow golf competition was a surprise hit—something we’ve never seen at another venue! The Stone House itself is steeped in history and full of character. With its cozy fireplace and intimate feel, it offered what I can only describe as understated luxury—warm, inviting, and personal without ever feeling over-the-top. During our ceremony, several guests told us they saw golden specks floating in the air as the sunlight streamed in—it was probably pollen, but it looked just like fairy dust. Truly a fairytale moment! A special shoutout to Erika P., who answered all of our many questions with patience and clarity. The front desk staff greeted us so warmly, and every team member we interacted with—from housekeeping to the servers at Cork Fire Kitchen—was attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. Thanks to TCI, we had the wedding of our dreams, and we already can’t wait to come back for a future anniversary stay.”
