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
