Let me start with, I'm horrible at planning anything! My fiancé and I went to view this venue and…read morewhen we tell you we fell in love with how gorgeous it was it's an understatement. The important thing to note here is that they do a lot of weddings! Towards the beginning they were undergoing a lot of changes within staff and it was difficult initially to contact them or get a response which was extremely frustrating. Once it got closer to our wedding day we got a new coordinator named Tessa and she basically saved my sanity because from that moment on I had no issues and felt so prioritized. Be patient with them in the beginning because you're one of many brides they speak to on a daily basis. Once you're wedding day is actually there, it will be worth every single penny. The food was amazing, the DJ is so good and attentive, our day of coordinator Hayley was also really nice and Victoria made sure to ask me if I needed anything she was there to make it happen. I can't stress enough how incredibly beautiful our wedding was and every single guest told us the pictures of the venue we sent did not do it justice. Also, get the horse carriage it's such a beautiful moment I shared with my dad then with my husband. We saw Tessa the next day when I went to pick up some things we left behind and she asked where we were going for our honeymoon and literally within the hour of us leaving she emailed us so many great ideas and recommendations. Lake Oak Meadows is lucky to have someone like her that is so kind, reassuring, goes above and beyond expectations, and genuinely you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you to everyone who helped create our magical day sorry if I was a stressed wreck initially but you guys definitely delivered and made me look good because like I said I can't plan anything accordingly. To see how great it turned out you guys definitely know how to make everything feel perfect. 12.2.21

If you're thinking about proposing at Lake Oak Meadows, it's honestly hard to imagine a more…read morebeautiful setting. It's adjacent to an INCREDIBLE winery. Grab a bottle of their Grand Cuvée Reserve if you want something bubbly or my personal favorite the 17 Dolcetto Reserve (an 88point). MMM baked fruit and toasted oak. The property itself feels peaceful the second you arrive. The lake, the oak trees, the open sky -- it all comes together in a way that feels natural and romantic without trying too hard. There's something about being surrounded by rolling hills and water that just makes the moment feel bigger and more meaningful. One of the BEST parts about Lake Oak Meadows is how many perfect little spots there are. You can walk along the lake at sunset, find a quiet corner under the trees, or use the rustic barn and open fields as your backdrop. The light in the evening is especially stunning -- soft, golden, and perfect for photos you'll look back on forever. It doesn't feel crowded or overly formal. It feels calm. Intimate. Like you can take your time and really be in the moment. That's what makes it such a special place to ask such an important question. If you want a proposal setting that's naturally beautiful and unforgettable without feeling staged, Lake Oak Meadows is truly something special. I would be HONORED to be sneaky and take your proposal photos here! Email: hello@amandacantonphoto.com Instagram: @amandacantonphoto

THANK YOU, Samantha!…read more Samantha was my wedding reception coordinator this past January (2012). My husband and I tied the knot in November and decided to celebrate with 75 of our closest friends and family at Longshadow Ranch Winery in Temecula. Longshadow was the perfect venue and Samantha was the perfect coordinator! We could not have asked for a better person to help plan and organize our event. Samantha is friendly, personable, organized, efficient, and energetic. The day of our event, Samantha was the first person to arrive and the last person to leave. Everything turned out better then we could have ever expected. All of your hard work and dedication made our event extra special =)

Words will never be able to express how much Samantha helped me with my wedding. I could not have…read moredone it without her! We checked out Longshadow back in November of 2011 for our wedding a year later. Longshadow is a beautiful venue, of course, but what absolutely sold us on the place, was Samantha. She was so sweet and SO WELCOMING! We never felt like we were being hussled. Coordinators at other venues can be so pushy and "salesy" which is such a turn off, but Samantha was nothing like that. She was so genuine, we had to get married where she was! For the entire year of planning, Samantha was there for me! No matter what I needed, she would try and help me as best she could. Any questions were answered, and phone calls or texts answered or returned right away. Heck, I even called her when I was freaking out about guests of horror, and she calmed me down! My own future hubby couldn't even do that! I really could not have survived the year of planning without her. As it got closer to the wedding, Samantha heard from me much more, and NEVER made me feel like I was bugging her. She helped me with vendors, gave me some great ideas (we served pies at our wedding thanks to her ingenious idea!) and let me bounce my own ideas off of her. She was not only a wedding coordinator, but a great friend! The day of the wedding, she was SUPERWOMAN! I do not know how she did it, but she managed to coordinate all of my vendors, bridal party, family, and STILL I felt like she was always next to me, asking how she could help me. She did so many little things for me, that I can never list all of them, but I will never forget! I could not have lived through my day without her. She made me wear a bib while drinking red wine before the ceremony (thank goodness because I ended up needing it,) made sure my photographer got all the shots I wanted, made sure all my songs were played, MADE SURE I ATE (huge help,) took me outside for a breather if I needed it, calmed down unruly guests, and ultimately made me feel like someone had my back that day! Like I said, words can never express my appreciation for Samantha, and I know that my wedding day was such a success because she was there to help me. Sam, you're the best!!!

Hayleys attention to detail and professionalism was unmatched, and she handled any issues that arose with grace and ease.

My husband and I got married in April and hired Soiree to do our floral design. Sheila, Jen, and…read moretheir team did an amazing job making our vision come true. They are truly talented. Soiree was easy to communicate with via phone, text, and email. Sheila even found ways for us to save money by reusing some of the florals from the ceremony for reception. That was a very honest and realistic way for us to stay in budget but still have the florals of our dreams. They were prompt day of the wedding. In addition, we were worried about not having enough time with our photographer to complete the flat lays; Sheila accommodated this and allowed my husband and I to pick up the flat lay flowers the day before for this to be done (her idea!). We highly recommend this company for florals for your event! We would hire them again!

My boutonnière was so much more than what I expected and my wife's bouquet was incredible. It's one thing for us to say that we loved our arrangements.

We sent over our inspiration board/mood board and we discussed everything we wanted and didn't want. Sheila also brought us around the shop to show us different flowers she thought would work well and was so open to all of our suggestions. We highly highly highly recommend Soirée!

She handled all the heavy lifting--vendor check-ins, communication, walkthroughs, and logistics--so all we had to do was focus on the fun parts! She truly listened to us, remained flexible with our choices, and brought in an incredible vendor team. From the DJ, catering, photographers, and bar to the florist and our incredible cake, every single recommendation was top-tier. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so seamlessly that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. So many of our guests kept complimenting the overall vibe, the gorgeous decor, how easy and smooth everything felt, and just how much fun they were having!

About 6 months out we new we needed help. Once we found Jen she got us right on track. She actually met us for the first time during our menu tasting for the wedding. She immediately began guiding us and providing invaluable advice, which was much needed. She listened to our vision and helped it come to life. She joined us on numerous calls with our vendors (being flexible with timing, even during Mother's Day). Whenever we had any questions she was quick to respond and was there for us through the entire process. We were able to send her the items like our audio guest book phone, name cards, signs, fans, etc and they magically arrived when we needed them for the wedding. She took away a lot of stress during the planning process and the day of the wedding which made it much more enjoyable and memorable. I give my highest recommendation to Jen and would book her again in a heart beat.

When it came to the day of the wedding, we fully trusted Annette to handle it all--and she did! From coordinating vendor setup to working with our venue on food and beverage, managing the timeline, and even overseeing setup and teardown, she truly took care of everything. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our day. If you're looking for a calm, organized, and experienced coordinator to help make your wedding stress-free and seamless, I highly recommend Annette and Classic Touch Events.

She was very accessible and we knew we could count on her to respond quickly even if our question was not urgent. As our florist in addition to our planner, she helped a lot with some last-minute florals that we wanted to do and made sure everything happened very smoothly. When we couldn't find any freshly squeezed juice near me Melissa was eager to help and make sure we had that by the time of the wedding. Everyone was impressed at how quickly the venue was able to transform between the different stages of the wedding and how knowledgeable Melissa was.
