We got married here on 7/19/14. Our experience was magical. Our guests kept telling us that our wedding was the best they've ever attended. We responded "what a coincidence! It was the best we've attended, as well!" Denise, unfortunately is limiting the number of weddings held at the castle in the future, and she prefers intimate affairs, so if you want a wedding at a beautiful Southern California castle, I recommend booking it early! With that said, Denise will still do catering for on site, and off site events, and her food was delicious. I love how Denise was accommodating and willing to try new things, and how she was open to critique and suggestion. Our guests included Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and American guests, and we wanted the menu to cater to these groups. We asked for hor d'oeuvres of Kimbap, Spring Rolls, Stuffed Mushroom, Korean BBQ short ribs, and mozzarella and tomato skewers. The Kimbap were spot on. I don't know how she made such authentic tasting delicious rolls. The sauce for the Spring Rolls was delicious, and impressed my husband, who is picky about his fish sauce. The Stuffed Mushrooms were magnificent. For the main meal, we got the Braised Short Ribs. If you hire Denise, I consider this a must. It was easily the most delicious item. She also made a chicken stir fry, roasted veggies, rosemary olive oil bread, Jasmine and short grain rice, and spaghetti. I love how she listens and takes notes on what we want, and makes the food according to our tastes. It is hard to cater towards our very picky families, but Denise listened, modified, and recreated her dishes until they were perfect. She had me tasting her sauces until the night before the wedding, make sure it was what we wanted. I also added on her delicious cannolis to our menu. She made them less sweet, just as I requested. Our best man ended up scarfing 4 of them, because they were so good. Honestly, most of the time you get food at a wedding it ends up being meh, but I honestly loved the food Denise and her staff made for us. They even made sure the details were perfect, placing raspberries in our champagne flutes like we requested, and making sure my groomsmen and bridesmaids had snacks and alcohol, and making sure that my late night guests had enough to eat. There were a few hiccups that come with having large events, but they were understandable. The food took a little longer than expected. Schedule your dinner earlier, rather than later, and order extra hor d'oeuvres for your crowds. My parents also wanted more of a royal treatment. That is more my fault for not requesting it, than Denise's. Know what you want, and request it. Denise is very accommodating. Also, it's great that Denise does not charge extra for things such as cake cutting fees. I'm not much of a drinker, but my friends raved about how delicious the drinks were, and how good the castle's wine was. Denise also knows a lot of contacts, and if you let her know, she will try her best to make your wedding stress free, by calling hotels, and working out the shuttle situation, or renting any extra furniture that is needed without burdening you. Tips: -Make sure you are aware of what potential costs may be incurred before you sign the contract. Ask about parking/ shuttles, clean up fee, rental fees, etc... -Check Denise's math. She isn't great at it, so there may be errors. -Make sure you ask for beverages during cake. I didn't ask for it, and my guests felt parched without their customary coffee. -It did suddenly sprinkle on my wedding day, although online it said 0% chance of precipitation a few days earlier. Discuss a back up plan, and make sure you are okay with it before you sign the contract. -Don't be afraid to give Denise feedback. She is sweet, and open to suggestion. If it is within her powers, she will do what it takes to make you happy.

We have our wedding booked here (for 9/12/14) in just a few short months! We pretty much knew we wanted a private estate of some kind for our wedding venue because I didn't want to feel like I was getting married at a "wedding factory" but when we found Lobo Castle we just fell in love with the Canyon's surroundings and gorgeous trees and beautiful medieval style architecture! We just got done with our tasting to decide on our dinner menu for the wedding... And let me just say that Denise and her chef's created the most amazingly delicious food EVER!!! We got to taste 6 different appetizers and a mini cheese plate and 3 different entree options accompanied by 4 different wines and I'll just say that everything was perfectly exquisite! The crew at Lobo Castle really made our decisions difficult because everything was soooooo good!!! Can't wait for our wedding in September!!!

Last year I did my pre wedding pictures here. It was amazing. My photography found this place, the minute I saw the place I wanted my pictures to be here. The pictures came out amazing. Our experience was magical. I was pretty excited to see that southern California had a Castle you actually could use for pre wedding pictures or even rent for a event.

Rosemary picked from Denise's (owner of Lobo Castle Productions) yard the night before our wedding and tied to 150 napkins.

Beautiful location in horse country hills, nice garden. A bit on the expensive side, but nice place for an event.

We…read moreoriginally chose Cielo Farms because of the incredible views and the fact that both the ceremony and reception are outdoors. We loved being able to enjoy the sunset over the Malibu hills throughout the entire evening, and it ended up being even more stunning than we imagined. We also ran into an issue with our original wedding date, and Robert and Nicole were very flexible and accommodating throughout the process, which we really appreciated. Every part of our wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't recommend Cielo Farms more to anyone considering it for their wedding. It's such a special place, and we already can't wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary here!

Do NOT go here. They are scammers and overcharge while admitting it to you and will NOT refund you…read morefor their mistakes!!! The owner and management are SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!! Read the comments he writes on reviews. It's disgusting. I cannot believe they speak to paying customers this way! We went for my friend's birthday and we each paid $50-100 to get in. That money does not include anything it's just to get in...then we had to pay $20 each for parking...once we got in the wine was $35 a glass. There was a big group of us so we decided to get a table at the end we split the payment and my card was overcharged. I have an email from the general manager that they overcharged us, but he will not refund me. My credit card is saying they will not refund me either because they're receiving documentation from them saying that this is a correct charge which it is not. The only way the manager will refund me is if me and two of my friends who do not live close by go in. I'm not driving an hour away and paying $20 for parking to get refunded for their mistake. This place is a total scam!!! I recommend you go somewhere else like Malibu wines or any other winery but this one. They take advantage of anybody they can. Edit to reply to owner- I never asked for credit card info. I asked to be refunded the amount you admitted to overcharging without me traveling to fix your mistake which you will not do. Your reply shows that you are a scam and whoever shows the truth about your place of business or gives their opinion gets "banned". Don't worry we will not be coming back so we can get scammed by you again. I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau and every media outlet as well.

The little outside play area they have for kids is so cute! When I was walking the grounds, I just felt at peace. There is plenty of seating. When I came by, they were having a class for seniors and a band was rehearsing in the teen lounge. You really get a sense of community here. I learned that they do summer concerts here and I would LOVE to check one of those out! Honestly I wish I knew about this venue when I got married. I definitely would have considered it! Prices seem very fair and they include close to everything (chairs, linens etc). Parking is limited but they have shuttle companies they work with for larger events. Staff was very friendly too! Looking forward to my next visit.

The main hall/events room can accommodate approximately 15 large round tables, if I remember correctly, with approximately 8-10 people each. The outdoor deck allows for setup of beverage bars, as well as a serving area for food. The common areas are well-maintained. The reception area is at the entrance, with a wet-bar off to the right side of the main lobby. A food prep and storage area are conveniently located in separate siloed rooms, which connect to the main dining hall/event space. There is lots of space to work with for any function. Whether a company event, family function, or wedding, you can do it all at this place. The architecture is modern, sleek, and charming. Onsite parking allows for your guest to easily access the venue from a close distance. There is additional overflow parking down the hill. There is a nice greenbelt in the back of the building that can be used for additional space, as well as a walking path overlooking the hillside. Our team members made use of the outdoor space. Team members found space to connect in smaller groups for private discussions. Had fun taking selfies and group pictures with the hillside as the backdrop.

There are so many interactive stations from playing "doctor" or "grocery store," to building full landscapes in the sandpit (complete with interactive features like a volcano!). Everywhere you turn, there's something creative and engaging for kids to explore. We stayed for over two hours, and my daughter still didn't want to leave. She's already asking to go back, and we're definitely making this one of our go-to spots! What makes it even better is that they also have workstations for parents who work from home such a smart idea for when you need a little break while your child is entertained in a safe, stimulating environment. The owner was incredibly welcoming, giving us a tour and explaining all the unique interactive experiences. It's rare to find a place that feels this thoughtful and intentional. I would 100% recommend Reign and Shine Play Lab 10/10! Truly a unique experience that every parent and child should check out.

Joe and the entire entertainment team and staff were attentive and made the night a success. DJ Snupi was such a hit with all of the kids and adults alike at the party. The entire entertainment team did a great job keeping the party going. We didn't order food there but the venue allows you to cater with any company that has insurance. I thought it was great that we weren't limited to catering options offered by the venue. Our event was about 140 people. Also, trust Joe and Lisa and their recs. We initially didn't get the patio but after talking to them about the party the recommended. So glad we decided to listen to them and get the patio. Pros: easy to find, plenty of parking, the venue itself it decorated so even if you have minimal decor it still looks great. Great staff. Close to the freeways for out of town guests. The venue is close to hotels. Attentive staff: Cons: honestly the only one I could think of was that the floor was freshly waxed so it was a little slippery at the entrance.

From the moment we signed the contract, Joe the owner made me feel like there was nothing to worry about. On the day of the event, when we arrived an hour early, everything was already perfectly set up. Gloria who handled the balloon decor was incredible, Moti the chef served delicious food, and the DJ was truly professional and kept the energy up all night. Even the security guard was extremely kind and personally walked each child out to their parents' car at the end of the event. They have an outstanding team and if I could give 10 stars, I would. Highly recommended and Joe, see you at the next event.
