Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

Gabe was an extraordinary officiant for our 2025 wedding. When we were looking into officiant we…read moredidn't really know what it would entail, and when we booked a consultation Gabe explained every step. He made us feel less stressed about the process and was very clear and concise. He is very professional and you can trust his years of experience.

His sermon was so captivating, many of our guests told us that they thought he did a great job as well.

Marie was such a wonderful part of our wedding day! We had a very small, intimate micro-wedding…read morethat we planned in just 7 days so finding someone who was available on a Sunday and willing to work with us on such short notice meant so much to us. Another thing that made our ceremony extra special was that Marie is bilingual. She created a beautiful Spanglish ceremony for us so both of our parents could understand and feel included in such an important moment. She made everything feel incredibly easy and stress-free. Since neither of us had been through the marriage process before, we really appreciated having someone who knew exactly what she was doing and could guide us through everything with so much patience and kindness. Our ceremony was short and simple, but Marie made it feel so personal and meaningful. We are truly thankful she was the person who helped us officially become husband and wife!

As two people who tend to be more reserved, finding someone who felt naturally easy to connect with mattered a lot to us. Meeting her only reinforced that feeling.

Her ability to genuinely connect is something special. We're incredibly thankful for her. She helped make our elopement feel personal and heartfelt.

We had the great privilege of having Hector officiate our Wedding at The Retreat on March 8th 2025…read more From our first meeting we felt so comfortable sharing our love story with him and were so excited for our ceremony because of him. Hector made our wedding day extra special and personable. Our family & friends couldn't believe we had just met him prior to our wedding, they felt like he'd known us for years. He added so much to our ceremony that our family & friends are still talking about it!

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

I don't even know where to begin with the experience we had at Ontario Wedding Chapel. I truly…read morecannot express how magical and effortless they made our special day. My husband and I have been together since January 10, 2016. After being engaged for two and a half years, we knew we wanted to get married on our 10-year anniversary, January 10, 2026. The only catch? We didn't start planning until December 2025... yes, terrible time management on our part! Originally, we planned to have just a ceremony - there was no way I thought I could plan a full wedding in one month. But that quickly changed, and somehow we ended up planning both a ceremony and reception in just a week and a half. Crazy, right? The reason? I completely fell in love with this place. It was the first venue we toured and the last. From the start, Brian worked his magic and made us feel 100% confident in our decision. They truly meant it when they say they take care of everything. Inez was absolutely amazing. She brought my vision to life beautifully. I simply shared my ideas and details, and she handled the rest flawlessly. The food was incredible (Enrique) . The photos (Steven) and video (Rocky) were stunning. Everything about the day felt magical, and I still can't stop thinking about it. Our family and friends were beyond impressed and are already talking about hosting future events here. I even joked that they shouldn't be surprised when I call to plan our baby shower here LOL! Thank you to the entire staff for making our day so memorable. If you had asked me months ago what I thought my wedding would look like, I never would have imagined this. I'm so incredibly happy. Thank you a million times over.
