During this process Wedgewood was extremely helpful, and their service had already been stellar even before the pandemic. Due to continued restrictions, our wedding had to be done outdoors only, and this location does not have the right set up for that. So Eddie, their manager reached out and spent time giving us all the options so that we can have our wedding this year. Without hesitation and without extra fees, he was able to relocate our wedding to another venue that that had outdoor setup and had the same dates available, all for the agreed prices from before. They had options to postpone to next year as wells Menifee Lakes was our first choice for a venue, and for those of you who are considering a wedding in 2021, we highly recommend this location. Their main hall has a beautiful chandelier that just adds a very rustic look to your ceremony. We are sad we could not have our wedding there, but are so excited and happy they were so flexible with changes due to COVID!! They are adhering to social distances guidelines and taking all precautions necessary. This venue and this company are top notch and we recommend you consider them for your wedding. Love, Carlos and April

Mia recently bar tended our backyard wedding in May and she was absolutely incredible to work with!…read moreShe answered all of our questions promptly and with expertise and she provided great options for customization. On the day of the wedding, everyone was commenting on how beautiful and tasty the drinks were and how efficient and friendly Mia and her assistant were. One of our guests told us that the second he finished his beer, Mia swooped in and offered him a fresh one. Even though we had a signature cocktail list, our guests were raving about the customizations they were able to make and all the options she provided. Because we were doing a DIY backyard wedding, it was so helpful to have the extra packages to choose from so we didn't have to worry about all the logistics of providing ice, water, garnishes, etc. I would highly recommend booking Mia for any event, and I hope to work with her again in the future.

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan.

We hired her upon the recommendation of one of my friends. Her design vision, network of vendors, sweet and calming demeanor, and quick thinking led us to have a stress-free rainy wedding. I was worried about the forecast of the wedding weekend (rain in southern california?!) but she quickly found solutions to deal with the rain and coordinated everything perfectly.

Lacking crucial wedding industry knowledge, and working full-time quickly made us realize we needed help! We met with several wedding planners, who were all great, but once we met Lisa we knew she was the one! Lisa immediately felt like family, someone you could trust, someone who listened and asked all the right questions. She always has your best interest in mind and is always there to remind you that everything will be okay. We selected the "wedding planning assistance" package because we truly needed all the help we could get! I would HIGHLY recommend this package to anyone because wedding planning is truly a marathon and Lisa is your coach during the whole process. She helps you sort out all the details that you don't even realize you need to think about. Right away, she came up with a game plan that prioritized our budget. She recommended vendors who, on our wedding day, delivered top-tier service. She is well-connected within the San Diego wedding industry and is beloved by these vendors, and I understand why. She attended vendor meetings with us and made sure the vendors understood our vision all while remaining cost-conscious. Did I mention she helped us stay within our budget?! Bailey and I frequently communicated with Lisa, asking her all kinds of questions. She responded quickly and offered incredible advice when we were torn between certain decisions. Lisa is so positive, always smiling, and constantly reassures you that your special day will turn out beautiful. AND IT WILL, in large part, due to her execution on the day of. Wedding planning isn't just Lisa's business, it goes deeper than that - it's her passion. During the whole planning process, we felt just how much she cared about making our wedding day special for us. Bailey and I agree that our wedding day was the best day of our lives! Everything flowed so smoothly, she made sure we stuck to the timeline all while ensuring we did not miss special moments with our guests. She is a people person who knows how to execute a timeline and tie all the small details together. We cannot recommend Lisa enough!!

Lisa was the second coordinator I interviewed and after meeting with her I knew I wanted to go with her based on her experience and ease she carried. My husband and I got married at The Darlington House in La Jolla and she was one of a few that were highly recommended, and it was the best decision ever! I am an extremely organized and scheduled person, so when I met Lisa I was instantly at ease. She was so friendly and so organized that I knew our wedding was in good hands. Lisa was also there for me with answers to any of my questions and a couple weeks before the big day when we met, she had everything laid our perfectly. She really helped bring my visions to life with her attention to detail. She knew exactly the aesthetic and vibe I was going for and really helped tie up any loose ends. The day of our wedding could not have gone more perfect! There wasn't a single thing I would have changed and just so grateful for Lisa and her team to make the whole day run so smoothly.

You get to enjoy the calm and tranquil mountain backdrop, beautiful weather, and the amazing views. We were all outdoors the whole ceremony and reception from day to night, and the candlelit-type lighting was absolutely gorgeous. The gardens are well-maintained, the pathway leading to the reception area was a path that really helped build the anticipation. Coming here definitely ignites a spark of wanting to get married yourself!!! Lol. There's a private parking lot to park at with plenty of space. We were late coming here but got to find a spot easily!! Staff even let us go in their golf carts that transported us through the path. The reception was organized so well, with the staff ensuring the food was perfect to guests' dietary needs (nut allergies, vegetarian, etc). I loved the open bar offered, and you first show your ID to get drinks. The place was full of love that day and I also had so much fun being near the open fire pit to roast some smores!! Dance floor was beautiful with the tiles and large, plenty of space to roam around too. I loved how open the air was and dancing hard didn't get you feeling stuffy. Truly a unique and wonderful experience as a guest.

We decided to get married in Feb because it was more affordable for us and woah did I make the best decision. It can be risky because of rain and snow, however when the stars aligned you get magic! We got rain and snow a week before our wedding and we got a beautiful backdrop of the snowy mountains! The weather was perfection, sunny at 60 degs. The venue is a full package deal! It includes DJ, cake, food, staff, table set up, and some flowers! They even have a piano included. You can also remove items if you rather choose a different vendors. They are paired with citrus blossom as preferred vendor and I 100% recommend her cake! DJ Kevro was awesome! They host an annual open house to meet the vendors and really get a feel what your wedding may feel like! I highly recommend making it to this event once you book! You do not want to miss this because you also win prices! These vendors are giving out generous prices! The staff were lovely to work with. I was in constant communication with Stacy and she was so helpful! Laura was our wedding manager and she was attentive to detail and I throughly enjoyed our final walk through with her. On the wedding day, she managed all the vendors and food and made sure everything moved smoothly. We were lucky to have our wedding assistance Andrew and Carolyn to be with bride and groom the entire day! I would have been lost without them! I heard from the boys that she sewed one of their buttons! She held my flowers and dress train when I was tired. She helped me use the restroom!! She even spoke up for me when my videographer was not listening to me! Andrew made sure we had time to eat during dinner and helped the boys in anything they needed! I can go on and on about how grateful I am for the team!! Like any event, things don't always go to plan. However Laura and the team manage to keep the timeline flowing and no one noticed any changes! If you want a magical dream wedding that is in the mountains and has a rose garden, this is your place!
