I truly had such a good experience with wedding planning with Villa de Amore and Myla and Mandy. If you are not much of a planner or want to be more hands off for your big day, this is definitely a venue I would look into thoroughly. They have so many resources and vendors all wrapped into one price and streamlined. Since they do weddings four days a week, the team is well prepared for almost anything and has thought through the entire day from start to finish. As a pride, my advice would be to be as specific and organized as possible when communicating with the team, as they do this often they are well prepared, but it made for a more seamless planning process because I was diligent in prepping information, creative design choices, and confirmed every step of the way. I give the venue 10 out of 10 stars, my pain point was with the DJ vendor. While I think they try to do a good job, they're not hitting the mark. When I mention about following up and confirming, you need to be as specific with them as possible. Outline everything and don't leave anything to chance. In my experience, they were disorganized and had mixed communication- though our dancing and evening wasn't effected the planning process was. All in all, I would recommend VDA has your place to get married and trust to execute your big day. Happy to speak with any bride looking at this venue find me @sincerely_siena on IG
Couldn't have asked for a better wedding or day of/planning experience! Not only is this location a beautiful dream BUT the staff is absolutely fantastic. Everyone was I ncredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. We were able to book the venue, do our food tasting, the design appointment with Mandi, rehearsal, and our wedding day all with detailed information and assistance. We couldn't have had the best wedding without them and especially since we were out of state while planning all of this. The design team made it so easy to pick out decor and stick to our vision. We put our trust in the team and they absolutely delivered. Our day was beautiful and the flowers were just breathtaking. We used all of their recommended vendors as well. There is a reason they are recommended! We loved working with DJ Ross and his photobooth company and LMP studios for photography. We even used their suggested vendors for our cake (Cakes by Debbie). Everything went smoothly especially since these vendors have worked with Villa de Amore so many times. I have to give a special shoutout to Havilah for coordinating our perfect day. She was an absolute delight to work with and she is just so genuine and sweet. We never felt rushed by her, but instead always supported! She was very detailed in everything she needed to run our day and went over every step and list with us. She kept us on track for the day but also helped to keep it fun and moving for us. She was so nice and helpful with our families and bridal party as well. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is also exceptionally organized!
I can not say enough about this venue. We got married there two weeks ago and everything was absolutely perfect. I can honestly say there was not one thing that went wrong. From our perspective and the guests. HUGE KUDOS to David, Mandi, Michelle, Kylie, Amber, and the catering staff. They worked with me so graciously up until the last minute. I changed décor and floral design about a month before the event and they were so kind and made sure everything was exactly what I wanted. The communication was very timely and clear. This venue really works with you to make sure everything aligns with your vision. Mandi and Amber went above and beyond for all of the design and all our guests keep telling us how they felt each event felt like a brand new experience (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing). Michelle was in charge of florals and it was exactly what I pictured in my mind. She matched my colors, vision and vibe directly to what I wanted. Kylie was our coordinator and she was truly amazing. She kept our bridal parties in line (we are a little rowdy) and made sure each event flowed perfectly for the day. Our guests really complimented the catering staff as they were seamless and made sure dinner was a smooth success. The food was great and the steaks were huge! AJ was our DJ and he did an amazing job on making sure the dancefloor was always filled. Reliving the day for this review only makes me smile because it honestly was a perfect day. From my perspective and the guests, it was a day that had no hiccups, no drama, nothing was out of place. I can truly say that Villa De Amore and all of their team members are amazing at what they do and I HIGHLY recommend considering this venue for the wedding day of your dreams!
Villa de Amore was truly the wedding venue of our dreams. From the moment we began planning, the abundance of resources they offered (e.g., beautiful props, customizable color palettes, and thoughtful design elements) made the entire process feel seamless. It was incredibly helpful to have everything we needed in one place, and the ease of coordinating florals, décor, and overall design brought our vision to life effortlessly. On the day of our wedding, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our coordinators, Myla and Amber, and designer Mandi went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail, calm presence, and genuine care for us made the day feel relaxed, joyful, and unforgettable. We felt supported every step of the way, and it allowed us to truly enjoy every moment. My husband and I cannot recommend Villa de Amore highly enough as it is a stunning venue backed by an extraordinary team that genuinely cares about making your day magical.
DREAM VENUE!! had an unforgettable weekend thanks to everyone over at villa de amore!! Our guests were in awe with how gorgeous and spectacular this venue was. The Design team, Kylie, took my inspiration and turned it into something more beautiful than we ever envisioned. Every detail was immaculate. With so much going into it I did not want to set my hopes up to high but truly out did herself. I'm still speechless and she was so fun to work with. Daryl, the chef, since the day we went to our tasting we were is disbelief that such amazing food could be served at a wedding. We dine out a lot and never did I think venue food would surpass my rating from a 5 star restaurant. I remember leaving the tasting saying it was better than any meal I ever had. They give you options and you can mix and match but the plates were perfectly curated that they needed no changes, we were over the moon that our guests would be able to feast on Chef Daryls food, best I've ever had. Not exaggerating. Our officiant Father Huerta who we selected from the options the venue gave us could not have been a better match for us. Knowing both our family's speak English and Spanish he offfered to do the ceremony bilingual. It was a hit!!!! He did it perfectly and it went smoothly. It was an honor to have him marry us. The Dj, AJ, from Ross creations set the tone for the night, he felt the vibes and perfectly selected all the jams that made the night unforgettable. He kept the vibe going and executed all the songs we choose for our dance and entrances without any issues. He was a hit!! Also bilingual which we loved!! Michelle with floral, was a pleasure to work with and all of the florals incorporated in our day looked like it was taken from a fairytale. They were perfect, fresh, and presentation was straight out of a movie. Our photographer, Nathan, was our absolute favorite. When looking into their different photographers they offered his work was true art. The way he captures every perfect moment, we fell in love with his style instantly. He was super friendly, open, welcoming, fun & knows what he's doing and does it extremely well. Getting photos of your day is one thing but Nathan provided more than just that to us, thinking about how I get to show these amazing shots to our future family one day gets me emotional. They aren't cheesey, forced, or played out poses. He truly captures everything in such a unique, fun, and original way. I will treasure these photos for a lifetime to come. Last but not least, a true gem, Amber, our day of coordinator. I wanted to give her the biggest shout out. I can not stress how much Amber played a huge roll on why my day was so amazing. During this whole process from the time we booked the venue, she has been so involved. Always letting us know she's reachable and available for any questions. She helped in so many ways, made the best suggestions for any situation we had and found resolutions. I'm not sure how many times she had to resend stuff to us but she did it with so much patience and understanding. She made sure she guided us and was there in anyway she could leading up to our big day. The day of rehearsal she welcomed our bridal party with the most genuine smile and personality, she was the sweetest. She made sure we were prepped for the following day. The day of, she was there every moment, how she did it almost so effortlessly, I don't know. I want to believe the reason why our wedding went so amazing and smooth was mainly due to Amber. She hit every cue, everything was so well organized, I did not feel like I was alone or didn't know what was going on. She made sure everything went accordingly and did it with a smile and such ease. She had me emotional when I couldn't not get help bustling my dress and putting on my veil, and she stepped in without hesitation. She did not let me down one bit and she's a true professional. We love Amber!!! That's our girl now!!! She was there's constant till the grand exit. She had all of our stuff ready to go once the night ended and even helped put it in the car herself. Like what!!! Customer service 1000000/10. THANK YOU AMBER!!!!! It's almost unbelievable that everything was included in the venue price. At first I was not sure what to expect since this was all inclusive, I feared that there would be a reason as to why we would have to select from their options but I was wrong. Villa De Amore only offers the most top notch experience, through and through. I spent 3 years looking for venues until we found this place, and it checked every single box. THANK YOU VILLA DE AMORE & ENTIRE TEAM, PHENOMENAL JOB!!! You gave us our dream wedding at a fraction of the cost compared to any other place. You will not find this anywhere else. THIS IS IT!!!! So many pple on the team not mentioned also played a huge part, THANK YOU!!!
Got married and had the best day of my life here at Villa De Amore. I would recommend this beautiful wedding venue to everyone. We received endless compliments about how beautiful the venue was. It's an all inclusive venue so it comes with a coordinator, DJ, Design team, Floral, officiant, and photographer. Everyone was so helpful and made the big day so special for my wife and I. We loved working with our coordinator Havilah. Havilah knows what she's doing and made every little detail we wanted come to life. I can go on and on but Villa De Amore is such a special place for anyone who gets married here!
3 stars feels generous given our experience, but here is our honest review of our wedding at VDA in May 2025. Villa de Amore is undeniably a stunning venue. It truly is beautiful, and all of our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything looked. The setting made for a romantic and picturesque backdrop, and for that, we're really grateful. However, despite how beautiful it was, we were left disappointed by how unorganized the actual day felt, especially after planning for over a year to make everything just right. One of the biggest issues was that our coordinator was switched at the very last second from Havilah to Amber. While we're not trying to completely discredit Amber's effort, she simply didn't do a good job managing the flow of the day. She started our ceremony late, which completely threw off our timeline and left us with barely any time for dancing at the end of the night, something we were really looking forward to. The whole day felt rushed and scattered. Just one other example of the unorganization: during our ceremony, the bread for our communion was not put out. That moment was meant to be sacred and symbolic, and its absence made it feel incomplete and disappointing. On top of that, we paid for a second food tasting and finalized specific dishes with the chef, only to be served something entirely different on the wedding day. The pasta dish had overcooked noodles with hardly any sauce, and the ravioli came with a completely different sauce than what we had agreed upon. We're incredibly thankful that we hired our own photographer, because she and her assistant ended up stepping in and helping keep things on track, filling in gaps that should have been handled by the coordinator. In the end, while the venue itself is gorgeous and set the stage for beautiful memories, the lack of organization and attention to detail sadly overshadowed what could have been a perfect day. We understand that mistakes happen, but it truly felt like all the time, money, and emotional energy we spent over the past year planning this once-in-a-lifetime event went completely out the window.
Hello Villa De Amore Team, I just want to say how happy Danny and I are on how everything went. Mandi and the design team did an amazing job to putting our vision to life! Everything felt like a dream. Everything was so beautiful! The guest gushed over how beautiful the venue and all the decorations around it! Guests loved everything from beginning to the end. Ate Mayla thank you so much for making sure everything went smoothly and Havilah you both just rock and I'm so so happy with everything, thank you for taking over my stress and forever grateful. Food was amazing! Catering team did a wonderful job with the steak and the chicken. FOOD portions are huge! I just want to let you all know that we are beyond happy for the Villa De Amore team! Floral team killed it, beginning of March and got these beautiful flower arrangements! Big thank you and forever grateful for making our special day the most beautiful day of our lives. Can't wait to see the photos, Nathan you're so amazing and making Danny feel comfortable for the photoshoot, he's not much of a picture guy. Nathan thank you so so much for capturing these beautiful moments for us! So much thanks! Shout out to DJ steve and thank you for keeping the energy up! Andy bartender rocks and our signature drinks were a hit! Love always, Mr. And Mrs.Casillas
Ruined my special day, the coordinator was unprofessional and could not keep anything together, half my guest mistaking thought that when we taking pictures we actually left and my coordinator did nothing to stop anyone from leaving. This resulted in me having to cancel serval planned dances as the guests were half gone. The facility did Not provide trash service which was not discussed and so my deposit was held unless I took all of my trash home Myself! Please Brides beware Villa de Amore will trick you and ruin your day too! To the business owner . This is not fraud! How dare you! More proof of how unprofessional this facility is! Attacking the Bride again, 6,25,2005 was my wedding date. Thanks for the further trauma
I was married in January 2022 and it was the absolute best experience I could ask for! All of the staff is so nice and they know exactly what they are doing. Wedding planning was so stressful for me but everything that the villa did was a breeze! They took the planning out of my hands and left me with a breath of fresh air! All I had to do was tell them what I wanted and they made my vision come to life! I would recommend this venue over and over again. I could cry writing this, THANK YOU SO MUCH VILLA DE AMORE!
My first visit to this breathtaking venue was last week 20 May 2021 for a truly beautiful wedding. The happy couple chose this place wisely. The views were lovely. The on-site staff were super friendly and helpful and attentive. Only complaint: the waitstaff could use a lot of training about clearing tables. The ceremony was outside with a view of the neighbouring vineyard as was the cocktail area. The dining room was a great size and opened up into a couple of courtyards. There were picturesque spots and staged seating areas with chandeliers all over the grounds. It was so well thought out. We eat and danced and laughed and celebrated with adorable bride and groom until the evening. It couldn't have been a better day if we tried! Well done, Villa de Amore!
We could not have been more please with our wedding at Villa De Amore. They made the wedding planning process such a breeze. The venue is stunning already and the details they add to your vision just make it that much better. The staff was amazing Havilah, Mandi, Sierah, David, Eileen, bartenders, servers, dj, and photography team did an exceptional job! Everyone was so kind and friendly our guest had the best time! Our guests raved about the venue and food. I thank Havilah for making the day run so smoothly she was on top of all of it she is such a great coordinator! My husband and I will forever cherish the memories we made that day at Villa De Amore. Thank you again to everyone who made our day so perfect and special!

My husband and I were recently married at the Villa and it was truly MAGICAL! We cannot thank the staff enough for such a flawless day! Everything was picture perfect and executed so nicely! We received so many compliments from our guest on the venue and staff! The Villa was there from start to finish and answered all my questions and paid attention to all of the small details that took me months to plan for. One of the coordinators would even take pictures of new ideas and send them over to me. They were always very helpful and responsive (same day turn-around for questions and inquiries). The Villa's customer service is OUTSTANDING and it's not often you get that in the wedding business. They have an AWESOME group of vendors who they work with and they know what they are doing and are very helpful and Eileen the owner is a true gem. The venue is gorgeous and the price is just right! We are so grateful that we were able to get married at the Villa! FUTURE BRIDES: If you are looking for a dreamy, magical wedding venue overlooking the beautiful Temecula scenery with excellent service, this is a MUST! read more

We had our wedding here on March 3rd 2017 and it was AMAZING! I fell in LOVE with this place right from the start. This was the second venue we looked at and I knew I was done looking after coming here. No other place would compare. As Eileen showed us around I wanted to cry. I could not believe there was a place this perfect for our wedding. I can honestly say that our day was perfect from beginning to the very end! Of course Laura our coordinator knew exactly what to do, she was amazing! She kept us on schedule all day and was very pleasant to work with. Can we talk about the Tiffany blue brides suite!?! Omg, we took so many beautiful photos with the girls. Love, love, love all the chandeliers everywhere! All of our guest raved about how beautiful the venue is. Our wedding was my every dream come true!! It was like a fairy tale you dream about. BEAUTIFUL! For appetizers we went with the flat bread, beef sliders, and bruschetta. For the main course we gave our guests the option of ribeye steak, pacific cod, and vegetarian pasta. Literally everybody who attended talked about how delicious their meal was. We went with all of the Villa's vendor recommendations and they were great. Our cake was delicious and our flowers were beautiful. Reverend Craig Evans was so sweet and our ceremony was beautiful. The studio was amazing, we added video and photo booth through them. Ross, the DJ was great! He kept everybody on the dance floor all night! I wish we could go back into time and relive our day because that's just how amazing it was! I can't wait to see our video and photos when we they are ready. This was truly an amazing experience and I would not have changed a thing about it. I highly recommend this venue! It's definitely worth every single dollar. You get so much for your money here. Thank you, David, Eileen, and the rest of the staff at the Villa for making our dream wedding a reality! read more

VDA and Team was stellar throughout the whole wedding process. They all brought great insight. Very organized, always available to answer questions & extremely thorough. We went with a few of their vendors and we were able to use some of our own vendors. they were all professional with great reputations & very reliable! Laura & her team made our day perfect which I know couldn't be possible without them. There were a few flaws that happened within that day, specifically about the kids meals getting mixed up with their parents meals and some people did not get to eat their meals so I recommend coordinating with Laura and making sure communication is there so everyone can eat. Other than the eating situation The team communicated with all the vendors, she made us adhere to the timeline (we were actually ahead of schedule), The team also made sure we ate, she organized/secured all the gifts & cards and made sure we were aware of it; our DJ and the security guard made sure we were okay and that our guests left safely and timely. I would recommend this venue my husband and I had a beautiful time and most importantly family and friends had a great experience! read more

Where to begin. Well, every bride and groom knows that hassle to find the perfect spot to say, "I do." My husband found the villa when one of the players from LA Galaxy got married there. He showed me the page and we made the appointment to go look at it. Once you pull up you're just surrounded by amazing views (in April). We fell in love with the venue instantly. We decided to get married on July 15, 2017. Having the major stuff included; for instance the flowers, DJ, cake, photographer and officiant; it takes that burden off the bride and groom to research and leave more deposits. Everything we submitted to the other vendors they would submit to the villa coordinator, Laura, who is fantastic. On our wedding day, The designer monique took our envision and made it much better. The Food, OMG the food, was phenomenal. I've been to my share of weddings and most of the time the food is mediocre, but can't complain as a guest when it's free. The chef at the villa Aimee well let's just say our guest wanted to take seconds home, that is how great the food was. Our friends and family couldn't get over how fantastic the venue was, the food, the cake and the service. Going back to Laura, she was amazing she took care of all of our needs, she was patient, but yet assertive. She even noted that I loved gummy bears and saved me some at the end of the night. If we had to do it all over again it definitely would be at the Villa de Amore. The major thing that we loved about the Villa was how family oriented the entire staff was and that means a lot to us. If you're looking for a location and that is all inclusive, I can guarantee that this elegant, accommodating and gorgeous venue is for you. They made our day so special and unforgettable. read more

My husband and I got married at Villa de Amore in December! It was an absolute dream come true! We looked at many venues, but the first time we visited, the Villa captured our hearts. The venue itself has so much to offer as it is a private area for you and your wedding party, and no other miscellaneous guests or visitors are present on the grounds during that time. We loved Aimee, Monique, and Laura during this process, and our wedding couldn't have been better! Aimee helped us pick out the best florals and linens and was so friendly, Monique helped bring our rustic romantic vision to life and was very sweet, and Laura helped us run the entire wedding day smoothly and was so fun and professional! The beautiful decor, tables, gardens, fountains, twinkle lights, along with many other details helped make our wedding unforgettable. Melissa Jewel was our photographer-and she was exceptional! We love our photos and especially loved our customized photo displays set up during our wedding day. We appreciate everyone's hard work and definitely recommend Villa if you are looking for a private and one of a kind wedding experience! Villa de Amore is a treasure! read more

I can not even begin to explain how amazing the Villa was for our wedding. It far surpassed our expectations! We had the perfect night that flowed smoothly and I do not think we could have asked for anything more. Every process leading up to our big day was effortless and made it so convenient and stress free for us. Everyone who works at VDA was wonderful. We chose Melissa Jewel as our photographer (option through the venue) and she was AMAZING. We got our pictures last week and they are beautiful...we loved each and every one. She kept a tight schedule the day of which we really appreciated. Janet Westall performed our service and she was fantastic. She was everything we needed her to be and we were at ease knowing she was going to do our ceremony due to all of her prep work and communication beforehand. Monique, the designer, was phenomenal. She created our vision for us and made everything look elegant and beautiful. She is so talented and good at what she does! Laura, our coordinator was the best. She was there for our every need....that included our families and bridal parties! We can not thank her enough for EVERYTHING she did for us the day/night of our wedding....she was truly a gem. Our flowers also turned out perfectly and Soiree created beautiful bouquets and center pieces. Cake? Amazing. Food? Amazing. We did steak and pork tenderloin and both were a hit. Our guests all gave compliments on the food. Can't forget Ross, our DJ who kept everyone on the dance floor all night long just as we had asked him to do. He was also great on the microphone and kept our guests entertained. We truly can not say enough about this Venue. The setting, ALL of the staff, the atmosphere...you get what you pay for. Our wedding was a dream come true and I would recommend this venue to ANYONE. It is so worth it. Thank you Villa for everything! read more

This was the first and only wedding venue I checked out and as soon as I left I begged my husband to book it and he agreed. It is so beautiful, the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen. I got married on June 14, 2015 and during my wedding guests constantly came up to me and told me it was such a beautiful venue. Also. The fact that they have pre selected vendors they work with truly made this a non stressful wedding to plan. I went with all their vendors, except for minister, since I had a Jewish wedding. However, I highly recommend using the vendors they suggest because they do this every week and they know the place inside and out. In terms of the food, it was amazing. For cocktail hour appetizers, the package comes with 3. I upgraded to 5. I choose the crab cakes, cheese and meat platter, shrimp poy boy and meat flat bread and a pine nut dough appetizer. I highly recommend all the appetizers, except the meat flat bread. The other four were so delicious and presented nicely. In terms of dinner we choose salmon and steak. The steak was probably the best steak I have ever eaten in my life and my guests commented how good the steak was. The salmon was very good, but nothing special. Definetly go with at least the steak for one of dinners options. I upgraded on everything (extra desserts, flowers, candy station). It was still cheaper than having wedding outside temecula. They set up everything for me, including the candy station. It was so organized and the wedding ran so smooth. I was so impressed with how smooth the wedding ran. Laura is amazing, amazing, Amazing!!!! She is the wedding coordinator and acommodated every request I had and she is so sweet. She definetly knows how to do her job well. If you are hesitating whether to book this place, don't. You will have your dream wedding Here. read more
