HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Held my daughter's cheer team banquet at Monteleone this evening and had a great time. The grounds are amazing, a beautiful little oasis tucked away in the middle of the Spencer's Crossing neighborhood. Very surprising but absolutely beautiful! The facility had more than slough room for about 100 people. I'd guess you could hold a large event/wedding with no trouble. Brought in a DJ and several vendors and still had plenty of space. The staff was helpful, friendly, and kept the flow of the event moving right on schedule - no easy feat with 25+ middle school girls LOL!! Not sure if the cost since I was just an attendee at the event but I have to assume the value is built in because this place was fantastic! read more

Our son's wedding at Monteleone Meadows this past weekend was sensational! We had an amazing time in no small part due to Lisa, the venue and staff. The guests marveled as they wandered onto the lovely gardens while admiring the swans floating in the pond. The Tri Tip tasted as good as it smelled as it roasted over the open BBQ. Working with Lisa was awesome! I cannot say enough how helpful she was on every step leading up to the day of the event. She was an ace coordinating with the vendors and patiently stepped the wedding party through the rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, Lisa and her staff made the event come off smoothly to everyone's delight. Thank you, Lisa and Monteleone Meadows: you are great! The memories at Monteleone Meadows made will last us a lifetime. read more

The venue was so beautiful and perfect for our special day. Had a spring theme wedding in September and it was still gorgeous. Lisa is amazing and very accommodating We also received compliments on the food! Highly recommend read more

This place is Amazing!! Monteleone Meadows is a beautiful venue with a small lake/pond, a waterfall, spectacular landscaping along with a well equipped reception area. They literally check all the boxes. Plenty of parking and facilities for a large gathering and a couple of great spots to host a ceremony. They have a nice bridal suite and groom room for getting ready . One of the nice things in my opinion was the ability and facilities to host both ceremony and reception all on one property without having to go to separate places and break things up. The Monteleone family has been hosting weddings, receptions and other events here for years. Over the years they have perfected the art of event planning and make it look easy. Everything was well thought out and executed with precision. Somehow they bring all this expertise together to flawlessly pull of a wedding and reception and do it in such a way that you leave feeling like your event was special and was the most important ever. It really comes through that this is not just a business for them and that they really enjoy helping young couples make beautiful memories. The whole space is beautiful! I have been to Monteleone Meadows on numerous occasions for events. When my daughter announced her engagement I was initially going to do her reception at my own place. We needed a place to take pictures so I reached out and asked if they would allow for us to come over for pictures since we had not yet finished building our new house. Once she saw the venue my daughter asked if we could do her reception and wedding there and all I can say is that it was great! The food was all prepared on site by their amazing team. I am going to have to see if I can wrestle the tri-tip recipe from them, it was literally the best ever! We also had chicken breasts served with the meal. Again, taste was great, fresh and juicy. No small feat to serve to a large group. Pricing was very fair and represents a great value when you consider all of the amenities provided and what all these things cost to provide. Don't skip the horse drawn carriage!! Such a nice touch. I would highly recommend Monteleone Meadows to anyone. This is the kind of place that you could make super casual, highly formal or anything in between. Either way a great place and experience with amazing people. read more

If thinking about holding an event requiring a nice view of the lake with an entrance walkway surrounded by tall trees, then Monteleone Meadows might just be the appropriate place. The parking, a dirt lot w/o concrete, was huge and can accommodate a large number of guests. Attended the "Taste of the Tahitian" event on Sun, 10.23rd. There was a stage set up and a series of chairs for performance Tahitian groups and audiences respectively. There were vendors with assorted merchandise all over the place. They were also food booths. In particular, we enjoyed the hot dog sandwich filled with onion rings and chopped spring onions dipped in BBQ sauce w/ a strawberry calamansi to match [courtesy of the Justin Mabunay eatery vendor]. read more

Had a schedule tour today at 1pm. Was emailing with Hennie yesterday and she mentioned she had an event going on but could still show me around. I arrived and went straight to the office, Hennie wasn't anywhere to be found. I wasn't about to storm into the event to find her. I waited about 15 mins in the cold. I called her and emailed her letting her know I arrived and she never showed up for the tour. I completely understand that she could have been busy with the event but the reason for the review is that she specifically told me to come by in the email and I drove about an hour away for the tour. It's about 4 hours after the tour and I still have not received an email from her apologizing. I don't like my time being wasted. Especially having to drive an hour away. Thankfully I reached out to Harmonious Events last minute since I wanted to make my time worth it and it did not disappoint!! read more

What a beautiful venue. We had our 50th wedding anniversary reception here and it was spectacular. The table settings and decorations were perfect. Everyone loved the candy bar set up. The tri-tip melted in your mouth and the cheesy potatoes were to die for. The staff were all so attentive and helpful. Can't wait to go there again. read more

This venue was beautiful, with its stunning natural environment that included a pretty tranquil lake and gorgeous greenery, but what really stood out to us was the exceptional effort the staff gave us in both preparation of the event and the service they provided during the event. Our coordinator, Heine, worked closely with us in preparation for my daughter's debut 18th birthday party, and blew away our expectations with the way she attended to every detail we requested, and went as far as working longer hours than was expected of her to ensure everything was to our liking. She maintained excellent communication with us, and during the event, the staff ensured exceptional catering and tending to our guests. I cannot wait until we are able to host another event at Monteleone Meadows, whenever that may be! read more

I feel in love with this venue and had my wedding here Nov. 2021. The owner Hennie and her staff are so amazing. They are accomodations and cater to your needs. They wedding packages states that weekends you have to have a minimum of 100 guests but with COVID I kept my list short and Hennie was so sweet. She allowed me to have my dream wedding under the minimum requirement. Don't second guess yourself and go with this venue with all your event. read more

Our experience at Monteleone Meadows was spectacular. My daughters Wedding had been cancelled 24 hours prior to the wedding ,at a booked venue ( due to fire led evacuations at Temecula wineries ). We had no connections, or pull to make the wedding happen. Hennie, her family, and their staff - miraculously had the time available. They went full steam ahead to make my daughters' dreams come true. The food they provided, assistance, and help with everything was beyond our hopes. The Trip-tip, grilled chicken, freshly baked bread , and salads pleased the best cooks among our guests. We had no rehearsal or coordinator due to the sudden evacuation at the original venue. Yet, Hennie gave us direction to make it perfect. The Venue itself is picturesque with a swan/duck filled pond, original old bandstand, and lush greenery. Amazing and I can't recommend more highly !!! read more

All I can say is thank you! Thank you for being a pillar in our community, thank you for stepping up for our seniors by providing them a gorgeous venue to dance the night away at a reasonable cost, thank you for going above and beyond to ease the burden on us parents hosting this prom - just THANK YOU for everything! read more

This is such an amazing place. As soon as we walked in through the main entrance my Husband and I fell in love with the place. It was my dream wedding venue. Also Hennie was so so great!!! She was very understanding of our budget and made many adjustments to accommodate our needs. She allowed me to have many DIY decor to help me with the cost and still assisted us with decorating. In addition, the staff here was really nice and very helpful. Many many thanks to Monteleone Meadows for making my wedding day a wonderful experience I will always remember. Also, My family and the photographers were very excited to be in this beautiful place. read more

After visiting several Temecula Valley wineries, we ended up at Monteleone Meadows and instantly new this was the venue for our daughter's wedding. The beautiful lake with waterfall and swans, the lush green grassy tree shaded area around the gazebo, the fountains, and beautiful reception room was perfect for her special day. But best of all is Hennie and her staff. The wedding went off without a hitch because of their care and devotion to making the wedding a day to remember. I highly recommend Monteleone Meadows to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. read more

The staff here is phenomenal and Hennie is one of the friendliest, enthusiastic and caring people out there. Since day one she has been attentive to our needs, listened to our ideas and brought them to life. Pretty much her mantra is "this is your wedding, make it that way you want." And we were practically able to do everything on our wish list..lawn games, bar in the lawn, live band, Chinese Lucky Lion dances, video game table...it was like having a blank canvas and being able to paint all over it. Though this site is not advertised, but word of mouth has really gotten around about this place. My guest were amazed by the sheer beauty of this place and had no idea it even existed. Its even used for parties, dances, celebrations, graduations, etc. which is nice because it is not exclusive to just weddings. What makes this place a winner in my heart is the affordability and perks that come with the wedding...officiate, in-house catering (with the most amazing food!), cakes by Jodee's bakery and more. Hennie provides so much at such a great cost and really is in it for the people and the experience than trying to nickle and dime anyone. Thinking back about my experience and time here at Monteleone Meadows makes me smile because Hennie and her staff made my day incredibly special and fun. read more

I took my prom pictures here. It was beautiful! I called the owners prior and asked if I could take some pictures and they squeezed me in. I felt very tended to and happy with the scenery.

This is a beautiful site and Hennie and Mike are great hosts. Check it out for your special occasion!

Had my daughter's wedding here last weekend. This place is the BEST! The price is reasonable, the setting is gorgeous, but, most importantly, Henny and her staff were absolutely amazing. They were easy to work with, provided wonderful suggestions without being pushy, and were so helpful the day of the wedding. Everyone raved about the food. Henny's husband made the best roast pig I've ever had. The cheesy potatoes were to die for. The tri tip and chicken were cooked to perfection. The diverse setting allows guests to roam or gather in a variety of wonderful places. There are many great places for photos. The staff took care of absolutely everything. The bridal room is large and comfortable. Ample parking. Not a single complaint. read more

We held my father's funeral reception here at Monteleone Meadows. The grounds are beautiful. It was a fitting venue to give my father the send off he deserved. My father was an Army veteran and Hennie and her husband were so great to work with us to give him a fitting memorial with Military Honors. They were very patient, kind and understanding of our needs. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a nice garden wedding, anniversary or any special celebration. We were beyond happy with the service and our celebration of life reception for our father was a day to remember thanks to Monteleone Meadows. read more

I was the maid of honer in my sisters wedding at this venue the emd of May 2017. The place is beautiful, no doubt about it but, the service for the wedding was laughable. Fortunately we're the type of people to laugh about it and still had a good time, in large part to my brother stepping up with his wedding venue work experience. He was appalled at the staff here. There was no coordination. Henny didn't show up once and I'm assuming her daughter was trying to fill in her shoes and didn't quite make it. They had like three or four teenagers working and occasionally we could track down the person "in charge." Our family had to set up the candy and smores bar and place the cameras on the table because there was no help to be found and as a result, almost completely forgot about the chocolate favor boxes so half the guests didn't get those. The bride was waiting, all ready to go with no instructions from the staff of what was going on until my dad finally said something to them. They poured the wrong toasting drink. Didnt put all the wine we brought behind the bar so it got left behind, my mother did call and pick up the case a few days later fortunately. There was no vegetarian entree despite being told of a few vegetarians (I'm not 100 percent positive this was requested...just pretty sure, although I'm just surprised it wasn't standard.) I believe we had to ask about the cake... then no one instructed them on how to do it so my brother stepped in. In the end, we had a good time. Heard some good compliments about the food, watermelon was delicious. Cake place they used was delicious. I'm just really disappointed in their communication and I apologise to the young man who kept getting my attitude because it definitely wasn't his fault, I was just frustrated and he was the one available. I'm not saying don't book the place, its pretty and probably could have been a lot worse...there were issues with other vendors which just escalated the situation... but maybe just make sure you review everything beforehand and hopefully they'll have a handle on things better by then. P.s... the officiant,Mark (forgetting his last name oops) was UHMAZING. He was funny and calm and just made an emotional, stressful moment fun and beautiful. read more

I'm shocked that there were no other reviews on yelp. Where to start...I cannot say enough good things about Monteleone Meadows. My wife and I recently got married here, and have had what will likely be one of the best experiences of our lives. Not just because it was our wedding day, but because of the care and compassion that all of the staff and support put into making it truly, our special day. First off, you will not find this place through conventional wedding venue searches. They do not advertise much, and we were referred to them by some friends who got married there the year prior. They were fortunate enough to find a small add in a local Murrieta phone book. The venue is a little off the beaten path, and can be a little tricky to find at first. But once you make your way off the main road and through the side streets you will be amazed at your first glance of the pebble covered parking lot. On one side you have a fully functioning ranch, and on the other side you have what looks like a hidden oasis in the desert hills of Murrieta. In our first visit we met the owner, Hennie, who gave us a tour of the grounds and explained to us how on our wedding day, the location is basically ours for the taking. We were able to bring in virtually anything and work with their onsite staff to pull off whatever needed pulling off. Hennie set us up with a list of recommended vendors from florists, officiants, bakeries, djs, photographers, and all the other types of vendors you might need for a wedding. We ended up going with most of these vendor recommendations, as they were all very professional and great to work with. The best part about Monteleone Meadows is that the cost for using the venue covers your officiant, your food, table linens, the bartender(if you supply your own alcohol), and gives you the possibility of using some of the stockpile of goodies they have accumulated for making weddings special for years. Over the course of the year we were able to go up repeatedly to work with the Banquet Manager Gaby, and the onsite florist, Suzanne. Both were wondrous to work with. Whenever we had an issue either booking a vendor, or even if we were just asking a question, Hennie, Gaby, or Suzanne were quick to address our needs, and make sure we were satisfied. When the big day finally arrived, we were astounded at how attentive Hennie and Gaby were. They were constantly checking with my wife and I bringing us food during the reception or just making sure we were happy with how the evening was progressing. The food was delicious, and the guests were having a great time. The staff made the entire evening stress free, and so worth the year of planning and preparation that was put into our wedding. I would recommend Monteleone Meadows for any event, especially weddings, and certainly hope to have the opportunity to attend more there in the future. Again, Thank You for helping to make our wedding day truly perfect and stress free. read more

I can't say enough good things about Hennie and her team. They are AMAZING. I was worried about getting all my decorations where I wanted them Nd they did it all perfectly without me even having to tell them where it all went. They do EVERYTHING. They are unbelievably fabulous. The venue is beautiful and the food is amazing. They are the most affordable venue around and worth every penny. We spent $12,000 TOTAL on the wedding. That includes the price of the venue, flowers, photog, video,DJ, decorations, cake, chairs, table settings, cake and more. We are at the age where everyone is getting married and all my friends have told us our wedding has been their favorite by far. It was perfect. Truly the best day of my life. read more

My daughter and son in law wedding was held here. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I hosted my daughters wedding @ Monteleone Meadows last weekend and words cannot begin to express how wonderful our day was! Every detail exceeded our expectations. The grounds are romantic and beautiful! The preview of photos are nothing short of amazing! Hennie and her entire staff are the most kind and attentive people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. The food was fabulous, our guests claimed it was the best wedding food they've ever tasted! Suzanne (on site florist) did the flowers and they were gorgeous and abundant. The tables were stunning! We went with their recommended DJ - Steppin Out - In Style Entertainment and bar none Hans out did himself. Read the crowd perfectly and there was never a dull moment...the guests danced the entire night away! Pixel That! Photography did our pictures and Brian Carter nothing short of amazing!!! To sum it up I would do it all again down to every detail. Not a single regret and VERY HIGHLY recommend Monteleone Meadows for any event. Three days later and I still receive multiple text messages a day saying Best Wedding Ever and thanking us for a great time! read more

Hennie and staff- you guys are AMAZING. My wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and couldn't be anymore perfect.

My daughter got married here on June 25th and it was spectacular. I cannot say enough about Henny and her establishment. My daughter called the day a dream and it really was! The grounds are incredibly gorgeous and the food was delicious, right down to the homemade bread that Henny makes for every event. I have had friends that have complained about how difficult other venues have been to work with, but here everyone was so wonderful and helpful. I wish I could give them more than five stars. read more
