I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I felt obligated to share my experience to help future…read morecouples make an informed decision. The best parts of our wedding experience had very little to do with Leeric Lodge itself. The scenery was beautiful, and the outside vendors we worked with were wonderful and professional. Unfortunately, our experience with the venue management left us with significant concerns. My biggest recommendation to anyone considering this venue is to have a legal representative carefully review the contract before signing anything. In our experience, there were too many loopholes and unclear provisions that created unnecessary stress and confusion. Wedding planning is already overwhelming enough, and couples should be focused on enjoying their engagement and preparing for their special day--not worrying about unexpected issues or hidden complications that continue to surface. Brides and grooms deserve transparency, professionalism, and peace of mind when choosing a venue. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I understand that every situation is different, but I would strongly encourage anyone considering this venue to do thorough research, ask detailed questions, and make sure they fully understand every aspect of the agreement before committing. This review is not written out of spite. I simply didn't feel right staying silent when my experience could potentially help someone else avoid unnecessary stress during what should be one of the happiest times of their life. If negative reviews disappear, I still wanted to make sure this warning was shared somewhere future couples might see it.

After reading other negative reviews I know they will do reputation management & spin it. They…read moreflat out lied on several times. BUT DECIDE FOR YOURSELF! Vendors- we used preferred vendors & all were professional, easy to deal with, & provided a great service for a fair price. No complaints. Leeric Staff-Dealing w/the owner & wedding coordinator before/after the event was a horrible experience & stressful. We chose the "Stress Free/Weekender" package as we live 10 hours from the lodge. The owner was not transparent & didn't properly describe what was included. Ex. the package stated "heavy weighted dinnerware" but what we got was gold colored plastic utensils & plastic plates. I'd expect metal utensils & porcelain plates in the highest tier package. The plastic knives made it hard to cut steaks. If I wanted different dinnerware I could request it from the caterer for an cost extra. After the contract was signed and five months prior to the wedding the coordinator said there's an $80+ charge/night/person staying in the lodge. Then 3 days before the wedding the coordinator stated the wedding party only stays in the lodge Friday night & only the bride/groom stay @ the lodge Saturday night. The wedding party would need to book hotel rooms last minute. This wasn't what was discussed or stated in our package. Our documentation confirmed what we thought. We paid extra for the DJ to play the ceremony music & cocktail hour. The venue staff was supplied w/ a list of ceremony music details. There was miscommunication btw the venue staff & DJ as the DJ played THE WRONG SONG for the walk down the aisle. My daughter had no clue what song was playing or when to start walking. She was embarrassed when the music stopped 1/2 way down the aisle & finished her walk in silence. That's a big mistake! The day of coordinator showed up 90 minutes late on the day of the wedding. After we finished the rehearsal the coordinator told the wedding party she'd be there @ 11:30am the next day. Multiple people we were looking for her @ 11:30. The father of the bride & father of the groom were waiting for her since they had to decorate the arch & the coordinator had the arch drapery. She showed up at 1:00 & the father daughter first look was at 2:00. So he had to rush to complete the arch, get a shower, & get dressed Since they don't provide a cake knife for the couple to cut the cake (although the package included a cake) we provided our own silver cake knife. After the wedding we noticed we didn't get the knife back. We reached out to the owner& she stated they didn't have it. She blamed the caterer but the caterer didn't even use it. 5 weeks after the wedding they let us know that they found it @ the venue. To return it we could pay $75 for them to mail it to us or we could buy a box & mail it to the Leeric w/a prepaid shipping label & they'd mail it back. They said it was our responsibility to take the knife home w/ us. But if it took them 5 weeks to find it @ their own venue how could we have seen it @ the end of the night? The knife was clearly misplaced by the venue staff & the right thing would have been to mail it back to us. They showed their lack of customer service again by sticking to the 2 return options. Luckily the caterer picked it up & mail it to me @ no cost. Now that's customer service! Payment- would be nice if payment could be done via check to avoid the 6% credit card fee (12% fee for security deposit). I understand the st payment being done via credit card to secure the date but after that sending a check prior to the due date should be an option. We paid over $1600 in credit card fees. Contract- the contract should be package specific as it included things that weren't applicable to our package-causing confusion. I suggest: -review contract line by line what is/isn't included & ask a lot of questions -hand tip envelopes to vendors directly -have someone in your wedding party confirm w/the DJ the ceremony songs(hear what they will play) -Record GoogleMeet calls & keep all emails

Too bad! I had hoped that having a twelve year old, and myself, monitoring the younger children and immediately stopping them from throwing the balls out of the play boxes, as well as picking up the couple that actually got out, would have been most adequate. Unfortunately, what they offer is not even close to being worth having 2 1/2 year old children screamed at while an idiot shakes a finger three inches from their nose. Seriously! My 2 year old child was TRAUMATIZED! She not immediately backed off after being addressed by me (my 12 year old daughter was also shocked and speakless) after I ran to stop the abuse. I am not able in good consicious to return while that abuser works there! I have video (several) and pictures that clearly show that one of my 12 year old twins were constantly monitoring each of my 2 1/2 year olds and that I was almost constantly going back and forth monitoring as well, with an occasional break to sit by my wife. We do not understand what that womans issue was, since the children did nothing significant. They simply got into the boxes with the featherweight balls and threw one or two each, on two occasions, while the 12 year old monitor immediately secured tiny hands and I picked up the balls that got away. Too bad for the owner... but that is exactly what you get when you hire your aunt! Gary Glen Clouse from Sparta, Tennessee.

He drove all the way up to Redondo Beach to meet up with us, and we knew we had the right guy. For weddings especially, Darren was super prepared and organized. He had a whole wedding planning DJ book that he gave us to fill in during the months leading up to the big day, complete with plenty of suggestions, examples, guidelines, and recommendations. Darren is very responsive and never did we feel unconfident with his ability during the months leading up. In fact, when we don't respond on our end, he'll follow up each time, which leads me to believe that he'll go the extra mile whenever the opportunity presents itself. A few weeks before the wedding, he met up with us again, this time at the venue in Temecula. We went over details and he was very thorough. We pretty much talked about every possible scenario. He couldn't make our wedding rehearsal, but it wasn't an issue as he has a lot of experience and has done multiple weddings at that venue before in the past. On the day of, he showed up early and set up all his audio equipment as well as the upright lighting in the venue. He came with his wife who acted as a helper, and she was very good as well. Darren had all the music mapped out and planned out ahead of time, with the exact versions/renditions of the songs that we had requested. In addition, he was able to accommodate our senseless last minute changes without an issue or a hiccup. He led the Cupid Shuffle and got almost all the guests on the dance floor, and I can't wait to see that on video later. Many of our guests stayed to dance the night away and shut down the dance floor with us when the venue finally closed, so that should be indicative of how fun the night was. Looking back, I'm very glad we hired Darren as he made the day totally awesome for us.
