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

Monteleone Meadows - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Murrieta, California

Just had our daughter's sweet 16 at this venue and it was the most perfect experience ever. We had a total vision for what we wanted, and they let us run with it and supported every detail down to the smallest of things. From our first meeting with the owner, I knew it was the right place for our event because we NEVER heard the words "no" or "we can't do that". I loathe being stifled when I have a vision for a special occasion, and she was so amazing in seeing to it that everything we wanted was at our party. The grounds are beautiful, clean and the venue is very affordable. We shopped other venues in the area, and with food included, MM beat the price. The food was absolutely fresh, homemade and delicious! The owner was super helpful with menu suggestions, and accommodated all of our requests, as well. The staff was super sweet, professional and on the ball. The thing I loved the most was that MM had a MILLION decor ideas and we were able to go through all of her decorations and mix, match and choose our look and pretty much come in and orchestrate how we wanted it to look. They actually cared so much about our special occasion and what it meant to us. The next day, all we heard from everyone who attended was that "it was the party of the century". We had 3 other vendors service our event and all had nothing but great things to say about Monteleone Meadows. They were ALWAYS available by phone for all my silly questions, and the owner did absolutely everything she promised she would. I would definitely recommend this venue for anyone who wants to throw a party or get married in a beautiful location that's not only affordable, but have the privilege of working with staff that actually gets just how important that moment in your life is and makes it unforgettable and special. read more

See all

We just celebrated our son's wedding to his beautiful bride at Monteleone Meadows on September 1, 2018. We cannot express enough how FANTASTIC this venue is! The grounds are BEAUTIFUL with a lake, green grassy areas, big beautiful trees, a gazebo and more. Our kids got married at the gazebo and it was lovely with white chairs, a decorated gazebo and shady trees. The reception was in a covered open air room which was cool and comfortable on a warm day in September. The food was WOW!!! They barbecued tri tip and chicken on the site, grilled vegetables, homemade cheesy potatoes, salads, etc. The food was delicious! The staff were professional and helpful in every way! 5 STAR all the way!!! read more

There aren't enough good things to say about Monteleone Meadows. First off, they do absolutely everything for you. Hennie and Gina work tirelessly to ensure that your special day is perfect. My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of and more. They do not include a cake cutting fee or a corking fee like most other places. I highly recommend this venue for any of your special events. read more

Monteleone Meadows - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Murrieta, California

Just got married at Monteleone this past Friday October 10, 2014... I guess I really should just start from the beginning when my husband (then fiance) were looking for venues. That's usually the first on the list of things to do for every newly engaged couple. I was already getting super overwhelmed at the thought of everything that needed to be done. We live in San Diego and have come up to the Temecula/Murrieta area several times. Particularly for the wine tours and while his parents were in town after we announced our engagement we took them on our favorite tour. It was supposed to do double duty--show the soon to be in-laws a good time and try to find a winery venue since we loved the setup of them and thought they were beautiful. Well a few weeks later we started hitting the search real hard and realized that having our wedding at a winery was going to put us in debt for at least 20 years!! It was totally discouraging because I fell in love with one particular winery venue that had a little pond with these fire pits IN the pond and a dock that would have been perfect for photos and just an overall beautiful venue. All of the wineries charged a fee for the use of the venue which started off, if i can recall correctly, at $10,000, a 20% service fee (supposed to be like gratuity which I am absolutely certain would not have gone to the workers!) and didn't include the per plate charge that ranged from $65-$100+ AND they only served wine and beer (most did not have liquor licenses) AND that costed another $16-$20 PER PERSON!....head spinning? OMG it was insane. I was completely deflated after the 6th winery and was ready to go back to the hotel we were staying at when my husband suggested for us to check out the venue that a few of his coworkers got married at. I remember that he had mentioned the place (Monteleone) on a number of occasions but I wasn't sold on the idea of it. It just sounded like he wanted to go on the cheap and I was sure, at that time, that we weren't going to get all that we wanted....BOY WAS I SO WRONG! Hennie was nicest person that we had worked with all that day. So warm and welcoming and SO reassuring and down to earth! We wandered around the property at first before we ran into her and that day she was making dinner for the police and firemen of the area (if I can recall correctly) and it smelled AMAZEBALLZ!! They had a pond with live swans and ducks and a dock so much bigger then the winery I fell in love with! There was a bandstand gazebo that the majority of the wedding ceremonies take place and they had a HUGE reception area all this in one place! We proceeded into their work trailer where we met Suzanne their onsite florist who we knew instantly we wanted to hire on because she was in the middle of making these amazing bouquets with succulents that took my breath away! Then came the scary part....talking numbers. By God....when she told us that the only charge for use of their space was the per plate charge and no service fee AND we could provide the alcohol ourselves (saved us a ton of $$) I was completely floored. They even had a contract out with the local Jodee's Bakery to provide our wedding cake (which btw was TOTALLY gorgeous and absolutely delicious!!) and came with the whole deal at no extra charge!! So free wedding cake (btw Jodee's makes a replica 6" cake 1 yr after wedding so you don't have to eat nasty frozen wedding cake!), no hidden costs, on site florist and BYOAlcy and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Everything was already there! We didn't have to worry about caterers--another side note is that the food is phenomenal!!--you didn't have to wonder about how the florist would get there and know how to decorate, you didn't have to worry about cake vendors screwing up and ruining your cake because they've worked with them so long and Hennie even let us negotiate a better price for the per plate charge! They took care of everything and it came out completely beautiful and exactly how we wanted it. People have been talking about it for days now and raving about how beautiful the grounds are and how awesome the food was. They have been doing weddings and events here for over 20 years and have it down to the T! I cannot speak highly enough of this place. The beautiful thing about it is that it's all Hennie's front property! Monteleone made our wedding an even more amazing experience than we could have ever imagined. They didn't even ask for a gratuity charge but we were so blown away by this place that we tipped them anyway! Amazingly phenomenal job guys! You totally rocked our (and our guests) socks off!!!! Thank You all so much Gigi & Alex Fishman P.S. If you're Filipino be sure to bring lumpias because Hennie totally loves them. She goes to church with a prominent Filipino following. Doesn't hurt to get in good with the owner, but either way she is so amazingly kind and generous that you won't need to butter her up for anything! read more

So, soo, sooo beyond happy that my (new) husband and I decided to have our wedding here. I can not say enough good things about this place & all the people. Hennie was literally the most amazing person to work through the whole wedding process with. She made me feel like a family member from day 1! Suzanne, the florist, was so sweet & made me SUCH beautiful bouquets, decorations, and a beautiful flower crown for my flower girl. Lorena, my day of coordinator, was one of the sweetest girls I've ever met and she kept me so at ease. Seriously, if you are looking for an AMAZING venue... GO HERE!!!! Thank you all again for the best day of mine & my husbands life! read more

Attended a relatives wedding a few days ago and was blown away with the venue. The venue/ ceremony is part of a private estate and you wouldn't even know it. Lake with swans, beautiful landscape, guest restrooms well maintained, guest weren't restricted to a confined area. We were free to wander and enjoy everything the estate had to offer, staff were incredible friendly and the price....unbelievable!!!! read more

When we first drove to monteleone meadows, we were not sure how we felt. We had visited a lot of wedgewood venues and were not satisfied. Once we walked over the we were blown away. They have their own pond with a working waterfall, outdoor venue and tented reception area. My guest were able to sit down, listen to music and enjoy many appetizers. My guest raved about the food and how much there was of it (Hennie makes it all). I was a very not sure what I wanted bride and they worked with my till I was able to visualize what I wanted. I would go to them again! Absolutely wonderful! read more

Went to a wedding here a couple weeks ago. Amazing place. The owners helped with whatever needed doing. I didn't realize one of the owners was helping my husband set up some lights. The food was delish. You must order the bread..yes the bread ala YUMMY. The cheesy potatoes was amazing. Would love that recipe. Everything is there for the total experience. Beautiful setting. read more

We decided to tour this venue as its so close to home and after reading all of the positive reviews on yelp. Let me just start out by saying that we had already toured a couple of venues, so we had an idea of pricing/what we wanted. This venue is BEAUTIFUL and the food/atmosphere seemed like it would be amazing! We would've love to book our wedding here, but after our consultation we decided to book elsewhere. The owner, Hennie was nice, but we were both taken aback after our initial meeting. First off, she was was 15 minutes late to our meeting and she had my fiance and I tour the property on our own. Definitely not a huge deal because it happens and they obviously were busy preparing for an event that day, but it was something worth mentioning. During the consultation where we sat down to discuss our questions about the venue, she repeatedly (3-4 times) took calls from other clients rather than silencing them for a couple of minutes. At one point during our meeting, she went off on a 15 minute tangent about how her son-in-law was going to pigeon races (what?), which was totally unnecessary and neither my fiance or I cared about. We were clients there to discuss our wedding plans, not hear about pigeons. There were several points during our meeting where a man, I think the son-in-law, kept interrupting to talk to Hennie as well. So of the 35 minutes that we met, I'd say MAYBE 10 were spent discussing plans, pricing and looking through pictures of previous weddings. Another note: People have mentioned the pricing to be competitive, but at $110+ per plate with a 100 guest minimum and still having to bring in your own vendors (except food/cake), it still seems pricey to me. On the upside, all of the fees are included in that price. I've looked at some of the wineries in Temecula that come in right around the same price point per plate. Not sure if the prices have gone up since these reviews on yelp, or if I'm just cheap. :-) Honestly, Hennie was a nice person and I suspect we just caught her on a busy day for her, but we both felt that she was unprofessional during our consultation and were both put off. The lack of attention is was made us ultimately end up booking at a different vendor for our wedding next Spring. I couldn't imagine going through that during the wedding planning process. Such a shame because the atmosphere would've been awesome! read more

My Husband and I got married at Monteleone Meadows on April 26th. Before picking this place as our wedding venue we looked at many other venues in the surrounding area and this one took our breaths away the moment we saw it. The venue is beautiful! But more importantly, all of the staff including Hennie were incredible! They really made the planning of our special day so stress free and fun! Dealing with Hennie and her staff was very easy and they were so accommodating and you could tell that they truly cared. They were always available and very helpful throughout the planning of our big day. When the big day came I was stressed like most brides would be but they made everything so easy for me. They were on top of everything and our special day went very smoothly. From start to finish my husband and I had such a great experience with Monteleone Meadows, we couldn't have picked a better place to have our ceremony and reception. It was truly a magical day and I can't thank Hennie and her staff enough for all they did to ensure an amazing wedding day. read more
