    They say something will always go wrong the day of your wedding. Well, thanks to Pond Oaks if something did, I never knew! Pond Oaks is the total package. They include the food, floral, refreshments, DJ, decor, staffing, bartender, cleanup, dessert with cake, EVERYTHING you need for your wedding day. You basically just show up. I spent countless hours looking for all inclusive places that would not break the bank and this is definitely, hands down, the BEST decision. Not only the most amazing, cost friendly, beautiful venue but they will make your wedding day absolutely unforgettable. The staff will make you feel as though your sweet auntie and your super cool on-top-of-it-all cousin are throwing it for you. I am SO grateful to them and all the attention to detail they had. Jennifer, Caylee and their amazing family and team make you feel so special and truly care in making your day unforgettable for you. They are so patient, kind, accommodating, easy to talk to, and really are on top of it. We were lucky enough to have Caylee there the day of the wedding and she was so in control (in the absolute best way, Caylee take the wheel!) to make sure everything went on without a hitch and on time. This was so invaluable to me since I didn't have a wedding planner and as the bride, I was a ball of nerves. Caylee knew our wedding schedule like the back of her hand and even remembered the exact moment (to the second, mind you) I wanted the aisle doors to be opened when I was walking down the aisle. I was so nervous I was almost going to walk too soon! Thank goodness Caylee was there to gently stop me and the moment was absolutely perfect and timed immaculately. For brides as lost as I was during the nerve wracking wedding process, here's the breakdown: -VENUE SPACE: truly beautiful. You're getting married in a National Park surrounded by gorgeous mountains and a stream across the venue, how amazing is that. Caylee, Jennifer and their team decorate it BEAUTIFULLY that it seems like a wonderland. All of my guests still talk about how charming all the little details were from the cute restrooms to the bridal glamper. Yes, a glamper. Jennifer and Caylee really want you to be in the best of hands and there is no better place to get ready or escape for a bit than a comfy glamper with a fridge for your cool drinks. The weather was definitely on our side during mid August 2022, nice and sunny during the day, but not too hot. The beautiful trees kept us cool the whole reception. At night it was an absolutely lovely summer night just like we had envisioned but they did have heaters in case it was needed. -FOOD: oh my gosh when I tell you this isn't your regular "wedding food", it is an understatement. Pond Oaks has a great selection of caterers they work very closely with to make sure you have the best food. The caterers also come with the package you choose which is so convenient and I'm so grateful I didn't have to find and deal with another vendor. We chose Buckboard for our catering and I can still remember how delicious the food was. During the tasting the Buckboard team really made you feel welcome. It was insanely good! The mashed potatoes were so creamy, even their salad dressing was homemade and super tasty. Everything served in beautiful dishes to make it look upscale yet homey. The food for the bride and groom is served separately behind their sweetheart table so we were able to eat as much as we wanted without having to get up, what a great idea! -OFFICIANT: Pastor Michael from the Granite Creek Community Church was the absolute kindest person and the PERFECT person to officiate our wedding. He is so easy to talk to regardless of religious affiliation and truly spent time personalizing our vows. Pastor Michael had great communication with us, asking us how we met and things we loved about eachother so he could incorporate it into the ceremony, made a speech we were able to edit, and even researched and added a special lasso ceremony we requested. He made our ceremony special, humorous, and memorable. -MUSIC: Dj Robbie was so fun to work with. Robbie sent us a detailed list of what we would like played/not played and my husband and I created playlists for him to go based off of. We all had a great time dancing and Robbie brought such great energy to the wedding. -FLORAL: I spoke to Caylee about an idea of what I wanted and she truly delivered, my bouquet and floral were SO beautiful! She took such great attention to detail and they stayed fresh for days to come. I can't recommend Pond Oaks enough. It made our wedding day memorable and an event our guests still talk about to this day. You can pay for an expensive venue all day but the love and attention the Pond Oaks family give you to make your day special is truly priceless. My husband and I are so grateful!

    Pond oaks is the most beautiful and magical outdoor venue tucked away in the mountains. The venue is right off the main highway but once you are inside you feel like you are completely secluded somewhere far away. Jennifer and Caylee were amazing to work with from start to finish. They are very flexible and just so sweet, you will feel welcomed right away. A huge plus is that the venue includes catering in the packages leaving the bride/groom with less stress on trying to source vendors. There are many different food options to choose from and the bakery they use is amazing as well. The way they present and decorate the venue is so beautiful and creative. I am a type A personality and wanted things to be done/look a certain way; with Jennifer and Caylee in charge I didn't feel the need to be super specific with my vision. I knew we were on the same page the whole time. Caylee does the florals for the events and her work is incredible and once again, exactly what I was looking for. Our day, 10/6/23 was so beautiful with all the fall vibes. We got so many compliments from all our guests. Many said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever been to! All in all the value of what you get for your money at Pond Oaks compared to other venues is incredible. It's beautiful and affordable! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or other special event venue. Thank you Jennifer and Caylee!!

    Cute hand washing station.

    It's a little drive up the mountain, but nothing too bad. Such a quaint venue. Plenty of space to have different areas for your event. We were at a fundraising event. Everything was wonderfully set in different areas of the property. Management is so friendly. Plenty of string lights to make it a magical atmosphere. 300+ people at the event with still so much room to have a larger attendance. The evening was spectacular.

    Planning a wedding is a yearlong commitment filled with stress and endless decisions, not to…read moremention all the chaos on the big day. But with Carly, she made it a joyful celebration from start to finish. I can't recommend her enough! Carly was one of two planners recommended by our venue, South Coast Winery in Temecula. We visited over 10 venues before choosing South Coast, which shows how detail-oriented and thorough we are. After looking into both planners, it was an easy decision to go with Carly. She took our vague ideas and brought them to life with a beautiful color palette and cohesive design. When she presented her vision, we barely made any changes--it was exactly what we had in mind, even though we couldn't articulate it ourselves. From day one, Carly was on top of everything. Since we decided to forgo a wedding party, all the planning was up to the three of us. She kept us on track, ensuring we always knew what needed to be done and when. Her experience is incredible--she thought of things we would never have considered. Whenever we felt stressed or behind, a quick call with Carly always put us at ease. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personalized just for us. Want golden hour photos? Done! Not into traditional paper invitations? No problem! Planning an outfit change? Carly made sure we had a golf cart so we wouldn't have to walk. That golf cart was a game-changer--we couldn't have kept up with our packed timeline without it. Plus, Carly's connections with vendors helped us get great discounts, and she did everything she could to make the day go as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day, everything was perfect. We were able to truly live in the moment, and that's all thanks to Carly. In short, Carly is the sweetest, most organized, detail-oriented planner with amazing design skills. She'll bring your dream wedding to life, just like she did for us.

We hired Megan as our day-of coordinator, and her price was so fair it made us a little nervous at first because usually you get what you pay for, right? But Megan completely blew us away. Don't let her size or age fool you she's an absolute powerhouse and a total rockstar. We had a ton of tables, decorations, and little details to set up on the day of, and Megan kept reassuring us she could handle it all. We hesitated, but we put our trust in her and she delivered beyond anything we could've hoped for. She somehow managed to get everything set up perfectly while still being available for every question, every little thing we needed throughout the day. She wasn't just doing a job; she genuinely cared and showed up for us in a way that felt like we had a trusted friend by our side. Then the rain hit during our reception. My wife and I were starting to lose it, but Megan stayed calm and steady. She pulled up this detailed weather app, helped us time our photos and speeches perfectly between the downpours, and kept our spirits up when we felt like giving up. Honestly, without her, that rain could have ruined the day but Megan made it feel like just another part of the story. On top of all that, she stayed after we left to help clean up, making sure everything was wrapped up beautifully. Megan went above and beyond in every way possible. If you want someone who's professional, calm under pressure, insanely capable, and just downright amazing, Megan is your girl. We are so grateful for everything she did, and I promise you won't regret choosing her. She didn't just meet our expectations she crushed them and made our wedding day truly unforgettable. :)

She is Kind, Funny, and Very Personable. That said when it comes to being a Wedding Coordinator she is the ultimate wedding party whisperer! She is awesome at what she does and that's saying something when your job is herding YOUNG CATS! (Old cats too, I'm the only one that didn't pay attention) She is firm with instruction but with a sense of humor and silliness that made everyone feel very relaxed and able to follow and retain her instructions during the rehearsal and the ceremony. Christina and her assistant have a real eye for detail and continuity. From the ordering of the flowers and having them be exactly what my Daughter wanted, to the placement of them on the arbor and tables which was stunning. From the Newlywed table to the welcome table, the desert table, the bar, the photo booth, the DJ, The entire layout of the room was prefect and absolutely beautiful. The whole event from my perspective went off without a hitch and that is all thanks to CC's Celebrations. Christina and her team are Pro's and come highly recommended by this proud and satisfied customer and Father of The Bride... This is one impressive Lady and we will forever be grateful that she stepped up and gave my Little Girl all she could ever dream of on her Wedding Day!. Thank You Christina may you, your family and your company grow and prosper for as long as you choose to do what you do because you are exceptionally good at it!!!

Truth be told, I did give her a hard time initially because I was paranoid of all the stories I heard about coordinators disappearing or not even showing up on the day of after receiving payment! Not to mention, there was no yelp reviews or anyone that can vouch for her services online since she was starting her business. Cindy was kind and patient enough to work with me through all my concerns that's when I knew she was the one. Which is why I am here, writing about my awesome experience working with and vouching for her. I hired Cindy to be the day of coordinator since I was able to handle majority of the wedding planning myself (although in retrospect, hiring her for partial planning would had been less stressful) Cindy had weekly calls with me a month before my wedding day to keep me on track and also gave me some homework to do (mock set ups, timeline, sending her the floor plan of the venue, etc) which ultimately helped in executing my wedding vision. Cindy did exactly what I showed her and even added her own creativity that made everything pop! Set up was flawless, tear down was fast and efficient. She kept me updated throughout the night and handled 99.9% of everything to ensure that my husband and I are enjoying our wedding day. Cindy is a miracle worker on the scenes and I would consider myself lucky that she reached out to me to offer her services. Advice to future brides: HIRE CINDY! OPT FOR PARTIAL OR FULL PLANNING TO SAVE YOU FROM SPROUTING WHITE HAIRS AND BE STRESS FREE ON THE DAY YOU SAY I DO! Cindy: thank you for everything and I hope your business will be popping soon!
