Panorama Paradiso Villa by Casa De Luz is a Mediterranean-inspired wedding and retreat venue set in the rolling hills of De Luz, Temecula. Designed for intimate celebrations and meaningful connection, this serene estate offers panoramic views, timeless architecture, and a soulful natural setting. Thoughtfully curated and deeply personal, it is a place where gatherings become lasting memories. Guests arrive through an orchard of mature persimmon trees — planted more than two decades ago by the original owner for his wife, whose love of the fruit inspired their quiet devotion. That story lives on in the land and atmosphere of this estate. At the heart of the property is an expansive 800-square-foot deck with sweeping views of the hills — an ideal setting for golden hour ceremonies, open-air receptions, and reflective mornings.

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.

My Husband and I were engaged at Churon and decided to have our wedding there as well. We love the beauty of this venue, the setting, as well as the European feel and decor. We wanted a private ceremony (just my Husband and I) and asked Churon to help coordinate our essentials. Churon's event planner arranged a pastor, photographer and florist, all of which could not have been any better. They also referred us to a great hair and makeup artist, AlyRose Beauty who I was also so happy and grateful for. We were also thrilled with our wedding suite which was over the top! Our day was intimate, special and perfect in every way for us. I am so thankful for Churon's understanding of our vision and their efforts and experience in the coordination. I highly recommend this venue for either a large size or private wedding. Thank you Churon!

Longshadow Ranch Winery was a beautiful venue for our wedding day. For the price, you can't beat the lush location that allowed us to fully customize the event to our liking without the venue dictating how our special day would flow. Dave was amazing to work with throughout the planning process and really made us feel we had the freedom to craft the wedding of our dreams. The only hiccups were some communication issues with the office staff in the final two months leading up to the big day regarding payments and contract details. While delayed, after contacting Dave on this matter, we did eventually get responses to email inquiries but a phone call option would have been preferred for timely resolutions. Overall, it was a beautiful venue and great value, we just wish the communication was more consistent in those important final weeks. Everything was 5 stars, unfortunately the communication, which I value a great deal, was the only lacking quality. Which, if this is the only area to improve, I think this speaks to the overall quality of the venue. Note: I would give 4.5 if I could!

Lorimar Vineyards And Winery was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue.

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a luxurious and spacious feel that provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The only slight downside was that Jenn was unexpectedly out on the day of our wedding due to circumstances out of her control, but the rest of the staff tried their best to keep things smooth.

The listing pictures don’t do Secluded Garden Estate justice. It’s absolutely beautiful in person, especially for an afternoon wedding at golden hour. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the location was several weeks later. Our wedding photos look like they came right out of Lord of the Rings! The venue includes three separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, with convenient electrical access, kitchenette, and guest restrooms. The hosts, Emily and Dennis, were incredibly easy to work with and put us at ease right away. They are knowledgeable without being pushy, and professional without making us feel like we were being sold to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue.

From beginning to end, Daniel & Stephanie were a pleasure to work with. They were on top of everything we requested and were thoroughly organized. Daniel (executive chef), Stephanie and the lovely staff helped put together the most amazing and unforgettable experience during our outdoor wedding at the Santa Anita Arboretum. Guests were raving so much about the food and drinks!! They passed canapes (small bites) and fine wines to pair, we had Spanish toast & taco bar stations, the 3-course dinner was magical, I’m still thinking of the swordfish and my husband still talks about the steak! Magical! Omg the chocolate tart ganache with a heart shape laced chip was beautifully done. My husband and I are still dreaming of them. We cannot thank them enough. Everyone said so many good things and left with full bellies.
