Overall, I loved getting married at the Temecula Creek Inn. We got married at the Stone House. It's…read moreabsolutely beautiful, the food and drinks were fantastic, and I wouldn't make a different decision about the venue. Some highlights: - The Stone House as a venue is beautiful. There was plenty of space for 150 people, and it felt like the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner were all slightly separated despite being in the same spot. We appreciated the convenience of staying in the same location while also having the experience of moving guests around. - The Stone House is not accessible by foot or private vehicle. It was incredibly private, and we were able to control when guests arrived. No one was able to get there super early, which helped with the schedule. The shuttling was also very easy. - We loved creating our signature cocktails with the mixologist Eric. He's super knowledgeable and it was so much fun. We came up with 3 perfect cocktails. - The food was great, and I never like wedding food. It was hot! The tasting was also really fun, we liked meeting vendors and the other couples getting married there. - The Creekside House was a huge plus. We used it to get ready. I had 9 bridesmaids, 2 groomswomen and 3 mothers all getting ready there. It never felt crowded. We also did our Sunday farewell brunch there. There was plenty of parking and lots of space inside and outside. We had music on while we got ready and a football game Sunday. We also had a couple bridesmaids and a few guests stay there, which was great. - I loved Devon. She was super friendly, really great at explaining all sorts of information when I first viewed the venue, and overall very helpful. We had a small hiccup with a suite for the getting ready space. She called me, we talked it out and she came up with the idea for the Creekside House, which was better than the suite anyway. - Every in-person interaction I had with any staff member was always positive. Checking in was easy and we were able to get into the house early. Everyone was always kind and attentive. - The property is beautiful and we used a lot of it. We did our rehearsal on the oasis lawn, which was a good size. We did our welcome reception on the patio beneath the Corkfire grill (including glow ball which was so fun), took photos at the Meadows and a few guests golfed. It was great as an all-in-one venue. - Our bridal suite was beautiful, we really loved it. There was a bottle of champagne, a cookie and a cute little note when we arrived. They gifted us a very soft blanket. Some Challenges: - There was a lot of nickel and diming. We needed an extra microphone for our ceremony vocalist. That was an additional charge ($130). We needed an extra cord, that was a charge. etc. I get that those things are usually rented for a fee. We paid around $50,000. You'd think they could just let us use the mic. - I don't feel like the amount everything would cost was accurately explained prior to us signing. Maybe that's on me and my understanding, which is why I didn't choose 4 stars. My advice would just be to really try to get clarity about what it's all going to cost. - It was pretty cold that night. To be clear, this is not the venue's fault, just something to consider. The ground also gets very slick and would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, we are so happy we got married at TCI. We can't wait to visit in the future and remember our beautiful wedding.

From the moment we arrived at the Enchanted Forest Castle in Fallbrook for my daughter's wedding in…read moreApril 2022, it felt as though we had stepped completely out of reality and straight into a living fairytale. Nestled deep within the breathtaking, rolling hills of the De Luz Valley, the venue provided a majestic backdrop that felt entirely worthy of a royal celebration. Walking the grounds, surrounded by authentic stone walls, towering castle turrets, Disney inspired, you couldn't help but feel the magic in the air. The absolute pinnacle of the scenery was the stunning swan lake, where the elegant white swan glided across the water, making every single photograph look like a painting from a storybook.What truly elevated this magical experience from a beautiful dream to an absolute reality was the incredible warmth of the people behind it. The owners and our wedding coordinator were hands-down the most amazingly sweet and caring individuals we could have ever hoped to work with. They treated our family with a level of genuine kindness that turned all of our wedding stress into pure joy. Their logistics support was unmatched as well; because the scenic journey into the valley involves a beautiful but windy road, we chose to provide a shuttle service for our guests from a nearby hotel. The venue team coordinated with us seamlessly to ensure everyone arrived safely, and comfortably. That dedication carried over beautifully into the reception, where the food was absolutely spectacular. Instead of standard wedding fare, we had an incredible feast of barbecue pulled pork with all the perfect fixings to go along with it, and our guests are still raving about how delicious and comforting the entire meal was. The entire day carried a beautiful, subtle Disney inspiration that captured the pure essence of romance without ever feeling overdone. There was the cozy dragon pub, which worked perfect for serving our delicious cocktails to our guest. As the sun set, the true magic unfolded during the outdoor reception in the King's Court. We danced the night away under a canopy of twinkling market lights and a blanket of stars, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. Watching my daughter celebrate her happily-ever-after in a place so profoundly beautiful, and supported by such wonderful people, was a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life. It wasn't just a wedding venue; it was a real-life enchanted kingdom where memories were made to last a lifetime.

The lake, boat ride,ceremony site, are all unique factors if you're trying to decide to get married here.. My experience as a guest was great. The shuttle driver Emerson made great conversation and always had a smile on his face. so that was a great start to the day. We were greeted by more workers with champagne and it was beautiful. everything seemed to start on time. The food was amazing at cocktail hour. The bartender hannah was a true gem! i just wanted to take her home with me, her drinks were delicious and she was so quick!! i've never seen such efficient service as a bartender working solo with this many guests! Dinner was amazing and the dj noah really got the party going! i have no complaints only compliments for the later half of the evening. my only comment would be to tell the manager to get odd his phone lol he seemed to be confused walking around on his phone. i asked one of the servers if he worked here and they replied that he is there boss. i noticed he didnt do much other than walk on his phone around the property! i cannot wait to attend another los willows wedding in the future and i hope i can recommend and influence another bride to book here!

The property itself is absolutely stunning--the botanical beauty of the grounds, the lush florals, the charming cottages, and the peaceful atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Everywhere you looked felt like a dream. A huge and heartfelt thank you to our coordinator, Jules. She was nothing short of amazing. Her attention to detail, calm presence, organization, and genuine care made the entire planning process and wedding day completely stress-free. She anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept everything running seamlessly, and made us feel supported every step of the way. Every bride deserves a Jules! I also have to give special recognition to Meg from The Creative Corner Shop. The florals were beyond breathtaking. She perfectly captured our vision and transformed the venue into something even more magical than we imagined. Every arrangement was stunning, artistic, and thoughtfully designed. The staff at Temecula Creek Cottages were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive to both us and our guests. The property was immaculate, the cottages were comfortable and beautifully maintained, and every interaction we had with the team was positive. Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined, and that's because of the incredible people who made it happen. Thank you, Temecula Creek Cottages, Jules, Meg, and the entire team for giving us memories we'll cherish forever. We wish we could do it all over again!

Our experience at Temecula Creek Cottages was nothing short of extraordinary, and choosing it as…read moreour wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire planning journey. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty, the serenity, and the undeniable charm that this property radiates from every corner. The grounds are stunningly beautiful--lush, thoughtfully maintained landscaping, picturesque pathways, and a sense of privacy that makes you feel as though you've stepped into your own hidden oasis. It offered the perfect blend of elegance and rustic romance, giving us the intimate atmosphere we were hoping for without sacrificing refinement or comfort. The scenery created the most breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and photos; every angle felt like a magazine cover. The cottages themselves were absolutely perfect. Each one was cozy, comfortable, and full of character, creating an environment that truly enhanced the magic of the weekend. They gave us and our loved ones that "wedding retreat" feeling--quaint, warm, and incredibly special. Waking up on the property on our wedding day felt peaceful, grounding, and unforgettable. But beyond the beauty of the venue, what truly elevated our entire experience was working with Julie Edwards, owner of Simply Regal. Julie is, without exaggeration, the greatest wedding planner we have ever come across. Her talent, professionalism, and dedication are genuinely unmatched. From the very beginning, she approached our wedding with a level of care and creativity that was absolutely mind-blowing. Julie has an extraordinary ability to take your vision--even when it's not fully formed--and bring it to life in ways you didn't even realize were possible. She thinks of every detail, big and small, and executes with a level of precision and grace that made the entire day flow flawlessly. Her organization, her calm presence, and her intuitive understanding of what a couple needs (often before they even know themselves) transformed our wedding day into something truly spectacular. It wasn't just that she planned a wedding--it's that she crafted an experience. Every moment felt intentional, personal, and seamless. We felt supported, cared for, and genuinely understood throughout the entire process. Julie has a gift, and we are so grateful we got to benefit from it. If you're considering Temecula Creek Cottages for your wedding, do it. The venue is magical. And if you have the chance to work with Julie from Simply Regal, don't hesitate--she will elevate your day beyond anything you could imagine. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we owe so much of that to this venue and to Julie Edwards. They helped create memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of getting married at Harmony Estate, and I truly wish I could go…read moreback and relive the entire weekend over and over again! I actually found Harmony Estate by chance through a wedding photographer's Instagram. It was the last venue we toured after a long weekend of searching, and they really did save the best for last. The property is tucked into what feels like a residential area, but once you drive through the gates, it's absolutely beautiful. We wanted a venue where our family and friends could stay together and where everything could happen in one place, and Harmony Estate had that and so much more. The house has four bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, large living spaces, a huge kitchen, entertainment areas, and separate bride and groom getting-ready spaces. It isn't overly fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, spacious, and perfect for what we needed. One of the biggest reasons we chose Harmony Estate was how much is included. Catering, plated dinner, planner, day-of coordinator, photo booth, bartenders, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception space, and even the option to have your rehearsal dinner on property are all available. We could also bring our own alcohol, which was a HUGE plus. The only vendors we had to hire separately were our florist, photographer, and videographer. Having almost everything handled through the venue was such a stress reliever. Another huge selling point was being able to party until midnight! So many venues around San Diego/Temecula/Murrieta have to end around 10 because of noise restrictions. Since the reception is inside the barn, we were able to keep dancing until 12. That last hour dancing with my husband and best friends was honestly one of my favorite parts of the entire weekend. The property itself is gorgeous. Even though we unfortunately had a heat wave, by our 5 PM ceremony the trees provided a lot of shade. The waterfall makes such a beautiful ceremony backdrop, cocktail hour in the backyard feels intimate and homey, and the barn is truly the star of the show. The chandeliers were exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding, and we loved mixing farm tables with round tables. I was a little nervous beforehand because I hadn't seen many reviews mentioning the food or DJ, and music and food are two of my husband's favorite things. BOTH blew us away. The DJ was amazing, friendly, and happy to switch things up whenever we wanted. And the FOOD!! The chef absolutely killed it all weekend. We had tacos at the rehearsal dinner, sliders, meatballs, bruschetta, and ceviche during cocktail hour, and steak with chicken Alfredo for dinner. Everything was SO good. The steak was like butter, and people are still texting us about the food! The staff was also incredible. Owners Gilbert and Cassie were so kind and easy to communicate with through GroupMe. Renee, the property manager, was the person who originally showed us around and helped sell us on the venue--he is unbelievably kind and helpful. Brittany, our planner, helped us plan everything and kept the day running smoothly. Lorrayne, our day-of coordinator, was by my side throughout the wedding day and was AMAZING. She calmed my nerves, advocated for me when I wanted my hair changed, and made sure we were taken care of. After the ceremony, the staff even brought my husband and me food and drinks so we could have a quiet moment together. My biggest recommendation: BOOK THE HOUSE FOR THE DAY AFTER YOUR WEDDING! The pool is unreal, and we spent basically the entire next day in it. It was the perfect way to end the weekend. I genuinely cannot recommend Harmony Estate enough. We loved every second of our wedding weekend, and this property will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We already hope we can come back someday for a family reunion--and, of course, spend another day in that pool!

However, I am leaving this review to help other brides if you do choose this venue I would recommend getting an outside photographer. The photographer Geronimo was very unprofessional and his photos are extremely low quality for the price you pay. We decided to go with Harmony Estates photography company, which was a huge mistake. He didn't adjust his IOS on his camera for going inside so most of the photos inside are grainy. All color is off and the quality is just poor. There is also a bunch of blurry photos, like for example our first kiss is literally out of focus. He was so focused on taking photos of our hands during the end of the ceremony that he completely missed our first kiss. I don't know about you but I'd rather have my first kiss with my husband rather than photos of our hands. I also made it very clear to everyone that I wanted to take all my photos ahead of the ceremony so I was ready to go 2 hours before the ceremony but still sticking to the schedule the venue created for me. The photographer was then an hour behind because "he got lost in the creativity of doing the detail shots" which by the way were all pretty bad lighting and poor quality. So it's hard for me to believe he spent that long on the detail shots. When I asked where he had been or why we weren't on schedule he told me (the bride by the way) that they don't stick to the schedule they just send it complementary or as a "guideline". As a bride who is very reliant on a schedule I found this to not only be rude but disrespectful to me the bride who is paying for this day to happen in the first place. He said he wants to take more photos after the ceremony which we then had to anyways because there wasn't any time due to him taking forever to do detail shots. I also was sitting for an hour waiting to walk down the aisle and they came up and asked me if I still wanted to start on time as if I hadn't been waiting on the venue to start. Other than that instance with the photographer and the delayed start of the wedding the rest of the evening was perfect and they did an amazing job setting up the decor, bar tending and the Dj was fantastic. The aftermath following the wedding was extremely frustrating as well. First we were waiting on our security deposit for 3 months. No one was answering, or they kept saying they will "check on it". They finally just venmoed us because it was taking forever for them to mail it. We were also waiting on the remainder of our edited photos for those 3 months, so when I asked where they were the owner finally responded and said she had a death in the family and of course we were extremely understanding. I do wish that someone reached out instead of us having to but again we were very understand and patient. Two months later we got the rest of the edited photos which I had to ask to be edited multiple times due to how grainy they were and how some photos were super dark and some super light and some are super orange. The owner just said it's because of where the photos were taken but I have a degree in film and it's simply because the photographer didn't know what he was doing with his camera settings and the editing was orangey and inconsistent. We paid $3500 for photos and I think anyone with a camera could've taken they are not "professional" or edited professionally at all. We also were very adamant about every payment to the venue and even tipped each staff member after the wedding but it felt as if after my wedding and they got our money that we were not a priority for anyone. I hope they hire some professional photographers for other brides sakes and the owners work on delegating to their employees and communication to clients. I added just a few examples of the photos.

The venue itself was beautiful and many of our friends told us during the night that they would have gotten married here if they had known about it for their weddings. Every member of the staff was so helpful and two steps ahead of every single one of our needs for the day before we even knew we needed them.

There are simply not enough amazing things we could say about working with Bethany. Bethany had great communication and since the beginning she had quick responses to our questions which made planning our wedding very efficient. She has a lot of experience in the wedding industry and would ask us questions about things we didn't even consider. She was EXTREMELY accommodating - my husband and I are both healthcare workers who occasionally work Saturdays with changing schedules throughout the week - this never was an issue when it came to planning our wedding. The location is extremely beautiful from the daytime to sunset and even to night time with all the lights and chandeliers. There are honestly SO many locations to take beautiful photos in and this was a big factor as we wanted a variety of places for backdrop - there's a lavender field, a bridge overlooking a small pond area, and a place with a sing - this is not including the picturesque house covered in vines and the ceremony site. Additionally, all the decor in the photos below were included (even the furniture, florals, and table settings). We chose the package that included florals and Bethany (who is also a florist) went ABOVE and BEYOND with the floral arrangements and bouquets, literally making my Pinterest autumn wedding dreams come true. The day of the wedding went as smoothly as weddings can possibly go and despite it being the craziest day, it was also one of the best days of our lives. We really owe it all to Bethany and cannot rave enough about her and her team. We've heard from many of our friends who got married about something they didn't like about their wedding planning process, but honestly, working with Bethany was completely smooth, stress-free, and an efficient yet detailed process. If you are thinking about having a wedding at Willow Creek Ranch, I 1000% would recommend it. (All photos in this review are from our wonderful wedding photographer Carmelisse Photography!)

This team was AMAZING, they bent over backwards (without being asked to) to ensure our daughter's wedding was as magical, beautiful, pleasant, warm and dry as possible due to a major storm forecasted. Miraculously, as the day went on, the rain pushed away and the sun peaked out. Therefore, the ceremony was held outside as planned, it was absolutely stunning! We did end up having to rent a tent for the reception, which Bethany coordinated for us. The inside of the tent was decorated beautifully, with lights and flower arrangements placed throughout, as well as, special corner curtains to cover up the tent poles. The team gave us an extra surprise by hanging a chandelier over the bride and grooms table, they thought of everything! I truly believe that because the tent being warmed by patio heaters, is why the majority of our guest stayed to the very end. This team even took preparations for where the caterer and cake cutting would be, they made everything fit in as though it was planned that way from the very start. All the elegant / beautiful bouquets and flower arrangements were hand made by Bethany, they were simply breathtaking! All of our guests stated throughout the night how beautiful the venue was. Some even stated they want their wedding to be exactly how our daughters was. It cannot go unmentioned how Bethany and Julie were so easy to work with! This team hit it out of the park! THANK YOU!
