Our wedding was two weeks ago, and it was hands down the best day of my life! Casey at the County of San Bernardino worked tirelessly with us to help make our wedding possible even though there were restrictions in place due to COVID-19. The lodge itself was closed and we could not have a reception, but Casey and her staff worked with us to ensure that we could still have a small outdoor ceremony on the lawn with the beautiful pine trees and Lake Gregory in the background. She was truly rooting for us to have the best wedding possible under the circumstances, and we absolutely did!

I am so glad we picked the San Moritz Lodge as our wedding venue. Everything was absolutely perfect, and our big day was truly magical. San Moritz was actually the first venue we visited, and I instantly fell in love. While my husband and I agreed we needed to at least check out a few other venues, nothing compared to San Moritz. Arianna, who hosted us for a tour and assisted with the planning/execution of our wedding, was spectacular. From the moment we arrived for a tour, she was an incredibly warm host who was happy to help answer every question we had for her. One of the great things about the lodge is that their packages/contracts are extremely transparent. There were no hidden fees or costs, which made making our decision that much easier. San Moritz hosts an event once or twice a year to allow all of the couples to come see the venue fully decorated as it might be for a wedding. This is also when you'll do your tasting, and have the opportunity to meet some of your possible vendors (who are partnered with the venue). This was awesome, and not many (if any?) venues do something similar. It was great to see what the room would feel like full of people, and to taste the food just like it would be served to our guests. I was so grateful they had a day like this available! The planning process with Arianna was extremely smooth. She always replied to our emails, and scheduled several phone calls to follow up on any lengthier questions we may have had. We had already contracted a wedding planner, even though the venue includes one in its packages - but this was not a problem at all! Arianna worked seamlessly with our planner and our other vendors. She made customized accomodations for my husband and I when requested (such as early access to the venue on the day of). She had great recommendations for bar and food packages based on her experiences, too. We seriously could not have planned this wedding without her. I could rave about the staff all day - but you should also know that this venue checks every box a couple might need for the big day. The ceremony site is gorgeous, and there are backup spaces in case of poor weather. There's a beautiful area for the cocktail hour and the main dining hall is so grand that I can only compare it to the great hall in Harry Potter. Every space at this venue had a magical touch to it. Other amazing things we got to enjoy were a separate bride and groom getting-ready suite, full-sized restrooms (which is great when you have 200 guests), a whole decor closet FULL of decor that you can borrow and use on the day of (saving you lots of $$$). The only element you should consider is that (at the time of our wedding) there's not great wifi or cell reception. This was fine with us, as it meant our guests were more present and in the moment enjoying the experience (instead of sitting on their phones). The food was also incredible! There are such a wide variety of choices you can make for your guests that helps make your menu feel unique to you. The food itself is delicious - and doesn't feel like cheap catering food. Having our wedding at San Moritz was easily the best decision we made during planning our wedding.

This is the most beautiful place ever! I have always wanted a wedding in the woods and I fell in love when I saw this place. Not only is it beautiful but the employees are wonderful. Ariana and Shalimar were always there to answer any questions I had and they went above and beyond to make our wedding the best day ever. The vendors they work with are also some of the nicest people we have every met. You should definitely pick this place as your wedding venue.

My husband and I were on a day trip to Lake Gregory on Valentine's Day and found out about "Love At The Lakes" event which was going on there. We RSVP right away and we were so happy we did it! It was a great experience! A magnificent view over the lake from a hundred years old lodge. What could be more romantic?! The event itself was organized just perfect: seating, table decoration, music (Live! A violin and a guitar. What could be better for Valentine's Day? Top notch!). Food was amazing. We signed up to be on the mailing list so we do not miss any upcoming events.

The photographer they recommended did a splendid job.

We had the most amazing experience having our ceremony and wedding reception here. The staff helped so much. They allowed us to use decorations that they had. Linens etc were all included. I can't tell you how grateful we are for all of their help. We highly recommend having your wedding here. It's not just beautiful it's truly a place that allowed our dreams to come true. I would do it again at this stunning venue.

We dealt with multiple planners. Yet, not one checked on us the entire time. Things were unorganized. The linens were incorrect. I had to remind staff to place flowers down the aisle because guests had arrived to a undecorated event. The wrong song was played during the exit of the bride and groom. There was no CO2 for the start cocktail hour. The venue was so hot that our guests had to stay outside until they brought in swamp coolers. They never announced for 2nds so tons of food was wasted. Everytime someone left a drink to dance or to use the restroom, their drink was dumped by staff. A party crasher came in and started a seen which the groom had to intervene. It was a nightmare!

If it was possible to leave more stars I would! My husband and I got married there in May! Not only is this place breathtakingly gorgeous for a wedding but the coordinator Nicki is AMAZING! She goes above and beyond to make sure the day goes smooth and the bride has no worries! Our food was delicious and everyone had an amazing time! All the guests complimented on how smoothly everything went and how beautiful the grounds are. I booked Vic originally and they switched it over to a new management! Probably the best decision ever because Nicki is so professional and really cleaned the place up even more! She redecorated the brides area with a beauty bar and pretty decor and my husband was beyond excited about the fact the grooms side had a pool table and a couple other games! If anyone is looking to do a wedding I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! My dad was perfect thanks to all the staff, Nicki, the weather (which was foggy but perfect) and the venue! Thanks again!

Best mountain wedding venue!!! We had our best day ever here and it couldn't have been more perfect! Nicki is an incredible coordinator, on top of the details and focused on the needs of the Bride & Groom. Our day was so special because we chose to have it here. Also the food was delicious! I've received so many compliments of the food & venue. You won't be disappointed if you have your wedding here.

See all

The table settings, the candle-lit reception space, and the church aisle she curated had everyone in awe. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how everything looked and how smooth the day felt. She handled every detail with grace and professionalism, and we truly got to enjoy our wedding day without stress. We would recommend Let it Go to anyone looking for a planner who is both creative and detail-oriented. Let it Go also has a HUGE selection of decor options and any kind of tableware you can imagine(dishes, glassware, flatware, chargers, napkin rings, etc...). We are truly grateful for Lynda's help!

She arrived right on time, fully prepared, and brought such a warm, friendly, and pleasant energy into the space. Not only was the food incredible, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. She helped us set the dining room table and even showed us the proper way to arrange everything, from the forks and water glasses to the champagne glasses. It felt like we were getting a full fine dining experience right in our cabin! I honestly can't give enough compliments about Chef Tami. She created an unforgettable experience for our couples. And to top it off, she left the kitchen spotless! You would have never known a full gourmet meal had just been prepared in there. If you're looking to hire a private chef in the Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear area, I highly recommend her. We will absolutely be hiring her again!

We hosted a garden gala event to raise money for a local nonprofit (Rim of the World Special…read moreAthletes) that helps disabled children and adults, and they hired Tami Pounds to cater the event. Tami took the time to visit our gardens in advance to get a lay of the land, and was full of great ideas of how to best position the food tables. When the date of the gala arrived, Tami's crew arrived hours early to set up and were dressed professionally, which was very impressive. The chef and her crew worked tirelessly for 4 hours to keep hot and cold charcuterie delights fresh on the tables, including serving them to guests as they enjoyed the gardens. The food was absolutely out of this world, truly world class - with a large variety of both savory and dessert choices. My favorite was the bacon wrapped dates, which were absolute heaven. We host charity events throughout the year and we will definitely be hiring Tami Pounds to cater our events. She brings such a love to her work and the beauty of her food and gourmet deliciousness will be appreciated by all our guests.

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.

This review has been way overdue!!…read more My bestfriends and Fiancé took a trip up to Crestline for my surprise engagement! Cheryl and Bobby were not only fantastic hosts but also an amazing addition to the celebration. Before we arrived, Cheryl and I stayed in constant communication gathering all our individual preferences, preparing us for the weather, and overall providing us with some helpful tips to make the weekend super special. Their home is immaculate, filled with fun activities, remarkable views, and delicious food! Cheryl and Bobby made us feel right at home with their genuine and upbeat personalities. We immediately nestled in to the second level where we began serving drinks at the Tiki bar, taking turns in the ULTIMATE massage chair, while the boys played a game of pool and the girls had a photoshoot outside. At the end of the night, I was lured upstairs for the biggest surprise of my life!!! Rose petals leading out to the lit up gazebo with stunning mountains in the background I found my boyfriend on one knee. After an instant "YES - PUT THE RING ON" I found our friends and hosts filming the whole thing for our forever memories. As if it couldn't get any better - Cheryl prepared a beautiful homemade dinner for us to enjoy. And Finally we ended the night with Top Gun and dessert in the movie theater.
