If we can give more stars we would. Brittany who was our coordinator, was soo amazing. She let us know everything that was going on but without being over bearing as well. She had everything fully under control the entire wedding. YOUR AMAZING BRITTANY. The photo team we had was soo great they took all the photos quickly and they were not in the way at the same time, it was like they were not even there. Our designer got everything we wanted to the T. The way they worked in all the party favors into every area of the venue was soo cute. Our Dj ROSS was great as well he has a lot of extra party favor niks that we bought that was sooooo worth it... he did everything soo amazing with that songs and cut offs, even to set off the sparklers and clouds on the perfect part of each song, OMG THANK YOU ROSS. We didn't stress at all.. I've been to quite a few weddings and by far ours was the nicest... I'm still shocked at how well the Villa did. Thank you soo much to the entire team. We are still getting compliments on how nice our wedding was.. from cocktail hour to our last dance everybody was in aweee, the food was so amazing with huge servings everybody was soo full the whole night, I was very happy about that.

David was the one who helped me with touring, booking, and every single question I had along the way. The whole staff is just the best of the best. Everyone should get married here. Affordable and stunning. Planning a wedding was EASY and it's all because of this place. I highly recommend. read more

Villa de Amore - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Temecula, California

Villa de Amore went above and beyond! I am a wedding photographer, I have been shooting for 9 years. I have seen many venues and worked with many vendors. Villa de Amore puts their bride & groom first in every aspect of the day. They meet all requests, they are flexible and willing to make changes when necessary. Laura is passionate & enthusiastic, her energy is constant through the entire wedding day. Russ (the DJ), is inviting and motivated to bring energy to your reception. I can not say enough great things about this venue. Not only is their team amazing but their venue is solid gold! The attention to detail, from the grooming of the property to the photographic architecture. And you guys!! Golden hour is ridiculous! If your looking for a winery to have your wedding, choose this one!! Cheers! Valerie Castillo Tulips & Tangerines Photography IG @simplytulip read more

I just had my wedding at the Villa on 11-6-15 and I have already been recommending this venue to any bride that I know. The best word that I can use to described the whole process was EASY! Some brides have such a stressful time with wedding planning but Laura, Monique, David and Eileen are an amazing dream team! This venue is an all-inclusive, one stop shop and I would highly recommend all their vendors. Tips: - If you're having a wedding AFTER daylight savings, go with the vineyard wedding site. When we explored using the courtyard the lighting was too harsh and groomsmen would have been staring in the sun the entire time - Definitely try the Pork wrapped in prosciutto at the food tasting. It's amazing! - Monique has a room full of props to create the wedding of your dreams, take a look before buying a bunch of stuff - Do the group selfie! We were given the option by Leah Marie and it was such a fun photo that included all of our guests together. Laura- Having a day-of coordinator was a huge help and Laura was beyond amazing. She was so on top of everything and kept the whole day running smoothly. Nothing was forgotten and the we were right on schedule and all the staff had ear pieces to make sure the whole night flowed. I love love Laura!! Food- The catering for the Villa is done in house and is one part of the all-inclusive package that can not be swapped out. After tasting their food I can see why. When we came for our tasting before the wedding we were blown away at how flavorful and exquisite the food dishes were. This isn't just a steak and chicken type of establishment. We ended up choosing the Pork wrapped in prosciutto and Chicken Marsala which were both great options. Our guests raved about the food as well and we even heard this was the best "wedding food" they had ever had. DJ- Ross was amazing! Another part of the all-inclusive package that couldn't be swapped, Ross Creations played all the music we love and had all our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Photography- Hands down Leah Marie was the best. They know the venue, they know the staff, they know the lighting, they know it all! Our pictures turned out beautiful and our photographer, Marcella, helped to make us at ease and our photos reflected that Flowers- We went with Soiree Designs and our flowers turned out great. My Pinterest board came to life and the venue had red roses everywhere. Cake- Elegance On Display made a beautiful cake and all of our guests loved the flavors. Definite 5 stars all around for making our wedding day so perfect read more

While searching for wedding venues, I was a little hesitant about Villa de Amore. As an event planner, I didn't like the idea of an all-inclusive wedding and wanted the freedom to choose my own vendors. Thankfully my fiancé suggested we go look at it since we were already in the area. From the moment we walked up the steps, we both knew this was going to be our wedding venue. The owner, Eileen, was so kind and welcoming, and you can see the pride she takes in continuing to make this venue better and better. If you choose this venue, you are required to use their preferred caterer and DJ, but have the option to use other vendors for everything else. We didn't end up using all their vendors, but the ones we did work with were absolutely amazing! I've included a few notes on the vendors we used below. During our rehearsal, we had a pretty serious medical emergency happen with my fiancé. Laura and Eileen made sure an ambulance was called right away and handled the situation like pros. They were so great in keeping everyone calm and preventing me from having a nervous breakdown. I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to have our wedding the next day, so they made sure all the vendors were updated and aware of the situation. Thankfully we were still able to have our dream wedding the next day, and it turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Every single one of my guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was. I can't begin to thank them enough for everything they did for us. I would highly recommend this venue!!! It is a million times more amazing and private than any of the wineries in the area and you will definitely get your money's worth!! All in all, everything was absolutely amazing and I'm thankful to have met the wonderful vendors that Villa de Amore introduced me to! Bitonti Catering: This is the catering company you are required to use. I did have some trouble in getting a response from the caterer, but the venue stepped in and helped with this. I wasn't impressed with their menu, but the chef was very flexible in creating new items. I also chose to do a plated dinner instead of a buffet and everything worked out great. The food was delicious and their servers were great. The venue also allows you to bring in your own alcohol, so it ends up saving you quite a bit of money. Soiree Design & Events (Florist): Working with Sheila from Soiree was a dream! We fed off each other's ideas and came up with some really great concepts. She was also nice enough to let me go to the flower mart with her to give her a better idea of what I was looking for. Ross Creations (DJ): Ross was such a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. I told him the vibe I was going for and he kept everyone dancing the whole night. He was an amazing MC and DJ!! Leah Marie Photography: Leah and Marcella are amazing photographers!! We were lucky enough to have both of them plus another assistant they were training. They were so on top of things and really made you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I can't say enough great things about them! read more

Villa de Amore was our last choice as far as venue for our wedding. My husband and I were looking at places at Temecula, since according to our research, Temecula is the one of the most affordable areas close to San Diego for weddings. This venue is located around the residential area close to the winery strip. It is a very private place, with which you can feel the "intimacy" of your celebration. When we were looking at other venues (wineries) at Temecula, reservations start at 5pm (because they still have their business to run during the day). You don't really have that sense of privacy. Temecula has a regulation, I guess, that you can't play music after 10pm. So, if you're going to have a big wedding, 5pm - 10pm isn't really going to work very well. On top of that, you have to worry about parking for your guests, as well as possible "wedding crashers" :) We got married on 12.14.2014 at Villa de Amore. At first, reading some "tips" online --- they say "Don't go for the all inclusive packages because it will cost you more." I say, Villa de Amore's packages are quite reasonable. We could've saved a little here and there, if we did our homework and looked for vendors of our own, but I have no complaint at all with what we had on our wedding day. My cake was beautiful, my bouquets were beautifully made, photographers were amazing - and the FOOD WAS GREAT. Our DJ was attentive, although he had to step out after the ceremony for a very important reason, his replacement was also great.The venue is beautiful. And pictures just don't do justice at all. The staff at Villa de Amore were very helpful during the planning process. They made it as stress free as they could for both the bride and the groom. Laura, our wedding day coordinator, was on top of everything. Our best man was very impressed that she was all over the place, handled everything perfectly. The ceremony and the reception went smoothly. She even helped me undress (from my gown to my regular clothes) after everyone was gone. She packed all my belongings, had everything ready to load into my car at the end of the celebration. I didn't even have to worry about a single thing. All we did was enjoy the night, smile at cameras, and dance. read more

The perfect day for my daughter and my new son in law! I'm a VERY "wordy" person but everything about the wedding day (and rehearsal) was so perfect, it has taken me two weeks to compile how to express how amazing everything actually was. Let me start by saying that I am generally the planner of ALL parties and celebrations for my family as well as my company so when my daughter and her fiancé found Villa de Amore and told me that they were going to make all of the decisions on their own with the guidance/assistance/suggestions of the staff at VDA, I was shocked and a bit skeptical. They are everything and more! Eileen/David/Aimee: A family owned business and they all truly care about each client that comes there way. Every time to reach out with any type of questions they are quick to respond and guide you through the process. You need to realize that even though you hopefully will only be doing the wedding thing once, they handle weddings daily so let them go ahead and be the experts. They have the patience of Saints. Oh my goodness the food was excellent! I am a big foodie and I loved it all. Everyone could not stop talking about how good each bite was! Laura: The day of (and rehearsal) coordinator. This seems too small of a title for her. She should be called the "Day of EXTRAODINARE". Laura is the sweetest person! Someday I would love to work along side her. She gently herded our family and guests like cats as we wondered around looking at everything. She was always there when you needed something but never in the way. It's like she knew what you needed it before you did. My daughter had a tiny issue with the boning in her dress poking her side and Laura quickly grabbed some thread and stitch my daughter right into her wedding dress while she was still wearing it. Laura to the rescue!! I could go on and on about Laura but you get the idea. Meghan and Vishnu: These photographers are the sweetest couple. My daughter and her new husband have never taken professional photos before so they did what they were told and felt very comfortable with them. The shots are breathtaking. They will take your "must have" shots for sure but their style of photography is more so to capture the beautiful candid moments that the couple (and guests) share as the day/evening goes on. Love this! Diana the security guard: Now it's not often that you make comments about how awesome a security guard is but I'm telling you that even Diana was great! She interacted with the guest that went out for air and she even ran to get my MOB bag out of the bride's room for me then ran it back so I didn't have to lug it around for the night. Flowers/Décor/Cake: I don't know the names of who they use BUT just go with who they recommend! Flowers were beautiful and exactly what my daughter and her husband wanted. The décor (lots to choose from) was perfection! The cake was the best cake I have ever had. My family is not much of cake eaters but this cake was absolutely incredible! DJ Ross and Ross Creations: Lastly but certainly not least...Obviously the party portion of the reception is highly depending on just how good your MC and DJ are. Well DJ Ross did not disappoint! He kept the party going! We had guests in their 20s,30s,40s,50s,60s,70s and everyone had a great time! Dancing, laughing, lots of love and just an overall FUN FUN night! Two weeks later and they are still getting texts from friends and family that this was the BEST wedding ever from beginning to end! This was the perfect day for my daughter and my son in law and from the mother of the bride; I must say a HUGE THANK YOU to all at VDA for helping my daughter's dream wedding come true!! Much Love! read more

Villa de Amore - Best Day EVER!! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Temecula, California

Villa De Amore is amazing! My wife and I chose this venue for our wedding and we have no regrets. VDA is very accommodating as they make you feel right at home. After our wedding we received several compliments as to how great the food and atmosphere was. The staff was very professional and courteous which made it much easier to plan the event. My wife and I recommend this venue for any couple who is looking for an all inclusive package deal. VDA provides the DJ, florist, catering, event coordinator, baker, designer and even the Photographer and Minister (if you do not have one). VDA made it a special day with beautiful memories that we will never forget. read more

We traveled throughout California (Northern, Central, and Southern) looking for wedding venues in wine country. Most of the places did not leave a lasting impression like Villa De Amore, we instantly fell in love with the place even as we drove in. The views, the weather, and ambiance were wonderful. After speaking with David and learning all the great things that are included in having a wedding at this location, we felt that we had found the perfect place to get married. The fact that the officiant, florist, photographer, catering, and bakery were included helped reduce the stress of wedding planning. They had a few vendors from each category that we could choose from who have all done multiple weddings at this location. This also took a lot of stress off since we knew all the vendors have experience with and familiarity of the location to do an amazing job. Villa de Amore was very receptive to our dream wedding. We showed them specific pictures of what we wanted, and they were able to recreate them almost perfectly. Monique, the design coordinator, and Laura, the day of coordinator, are the best. The attention to detail throughout the venue made it even more special. She made us feel like she was organizing her own wedding with how much attention she paid to it. She also made sure everything went smoothly so we could enjoy the day stress free. Villa De Amore was so accommodating to our vision especially for dinner. We wanted to do a 4-course wine pairing dinner. Even though they had never done this for a wedding, they were willing to make it happen. We could tell all of our guests were having a great time because the reception was buzzing and full of conversation and laughter. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. To be able to execute 4 courses for 120+ guests along with pouring 4 different wines is a testament to how much skill and organization the staff has. Villa De Amore made our dream wedding a reality. We had multiple guests come up to us during the wedding and at the end of the night to express that this was the best wedding they have ever been to and that we had set the bar for all future weddings. read more

As a Temecula Valley girl, I had no idea that such an amazing wedding venue was on our doorstep! Upon my first visit to the property, it was breathtakingly beautiful and Eileen who owns the property has the most inspiring entrepreneurship story, building the venue from her family home! Deciding to book with Villa de Amore was the best thing I could have done considering I was planning the wedding from London and would be hosting family from England. The whole team was amazing at communicating through email with photos and they scheduled my tastings around my visits home! On the day I could not have asked for a more seamless operation, I loved that they have are an all inclusive venue because it meant we had such high quality vendors without having to individually source them!! The best thing was how amazing the coordination was between everyone: the talented coordinator Laura, the creative designer Monique the hilarious DJ Ross and the bubbly and fantastic photographer Melissa! Can't forget to mention the catering staff, food and service were 5 Star! They all came together to make me feel like an absolute Princess and my British family were beside themselves in awe of how beautiful it all was while being so organised and precise. Keep up the GREAT work, I wish I could get married every day with you guys, it wasn't nearly as stressful due to you all & I can't thank you enough!! love from London. read more

Would highly recommend this place for wedding venues . All of the staff were super accommodating, friendly and just an overall great crowd. We went there for my sisters wedding just last night, Sunday, March 24 2019. A special thanks to Laura, our coordinator, for the absolutely beautiful setup as well as the assistance throughout the whole event! Dianna(?), our awesome security who was also great company. Our bartender ricky who stuck it out with our crazy family/friends . And last but not least, our photographers Meghan and Vishnu with "Adventure stories by us" for once again the amazing time as well as photo sessions! Constant giggle fits haha. Thanks for all other staff members who helped with the preparations as well!! read more

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the Villa. We knew our wedding day was going to be beautiful, but it was beyond anything we ever dreamed of. From our first visit to the venue, we knew this was the place. We love that everything was included and taken care of, which meant we only had to deal with the fun stuff. Laura was the absolute best. Myself, my groom and our bridal party kept going on and on about how on point she was the whole day. She was everywhere, such a lifesaver for everyone. The suggested vendors were all amazing... Flowers were beautiful, DJ was great (and helpful with more than just music) and Leah Marie photographers were out of this world. Seriously, they made us feel great all day and I know our photos are going to be to die for. Choosing this venue will keep you from being a bridezilla (how can you be? The whole process is so easy going) and allows you to focus on what matters- having fun and getting married! My husband and I were sitting on clouds the entire day and our friends and family had an amazing time. Everyone is still raving about how beautiful it was. What more can you ask for?! Honestly, get married here. You won't regret it. read more

My husband and I just got married at Villa De Amore last week. We are still on cloud 9 by how wonderful the day was. The team is so kind and easy to work with. The entire planning process from start to finish was wonderful. They made everything simple and really put our vision to life. Villa De Amore made our wedding day so special with their attention to detail, fun personalities and professionalism. read more

After searching many venues, we found Villa de Amore and we are so happy we went ahead and booked them for our wedding! It really does include almost everything but the dress... stunning views, beautiful bridal suite, photographer, florist, baker, catering, linen, design, officiant, coordinator, DJ... amazing! Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful but VDA made the transition smooth. It was definitely a plus having almost all the vendors we needed through VDA because that meant I didn't have to worry about reaching out to multiple vendors to see if they were available for the new wedding date; we simply told VDA the new date we wanted and they took care of the rest! Huge thank you to Laura, our coordinator! She. Is. Amazing. Always on top of things, answered all of my emails in a timely manner, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of :) The entire team goes above and beyond... they keep in touch with you throughout the wedding process, make sure all of your questions are answered, and are very professional. David, Eileen and the rest of the VDA team, thank you all so much for everything you did. Our wedding was beautiful; we and our guests had an amazing time. We can't wait to come back and visit! read more

I wish I could give VDA 10 stars. I had my wedding in August and it was really and truly the best day of my life. Everything was completely seamless. When we first started looking at venues (specifically vineyards) in Temecula, most were in the $20,000-$30,000 range for the venue alone!! That was way out of our budget and we started to feel like we wouldn't be able to have the wedding we wanted. We found VDA online and decided to pop in on the day we were looking around. We were greeted by Eileen, the owner, and she agreed to show us around even though they were setting up for a wedding that day. She told us her story and we fel in love. I was crying at how beautiful it was, and my then fiancé said he didn't even want to look anywhere else. He is a guy who didn't really care to plan details, and the all inclusive idea was really exciting to him. We live in Canada, so leading up to our big day, we didn't want to have to fly back and forth to have all the vendor meetings. All the VDA vendors worked with us to get everything done in 2 days! So we flew in and were able to get literally everything decided on in that short time frame. Flowers (Soiree design): everyone at Soiree was so helpful. I know basically nothing about flowers so I didn't come with many ideas. They helped me figure out what I wanted and in the end, my flowers were the first thing that made me cry in our wedding day. My colours were black and white and I requested a bouquet of black flowers. They were so perfect I couldn't believe it. (Pictures below) Desert (Elegance on Display): Jennifer was SO sweet and really had the best deserts. We chose to do a desert table, and then a small cake just to do a ceremonial cut. We got chocolate covered pretzels, mini key lime pies, monogrammed chocolate Oreos, and more! Everyone just loved them. It was also very special because Jennifer gave us a little mini 2 person cake to take home and freeze for our one year anniversary. So we didn't have to worry about saving a slice! DJ (Ross creations): Ross was so funny and easy to work with. He used songs and covers I found on YouTube when I couldn't find the real tracks. Every song played seamlessly and he killed it during the dancing time. We basically gave him no suggestions for that part but everything he picked was perfect! Design (Monique): like I mentioned with the flowers, my husband and I didn't come in with lots of ideas. She helped us make decisions and worked with our different opinions. On the day we showed up and everything was perfect. Even better than I imagined it would be. I especially loved our sweetheart table Catering (Aimee): the food was absolutely to die for. Our tasting was such an incredibly generous portion, we had two friends with us and all four of us were able to try everything. We went with the ribeye and potatoes, and also the chicken with creamed corn and rice. The vegetarians got a butternut squash ravioli. Everyone raved about the food. We also had several severe allergies that the kitchen worked with no problem! And last but CERTAINLY not least.... Day of coordinating (Laura): I couldn't say enough good things about Laura. Leading up to the day, she always answered all my random e mails and questions promptly. I even realized later I asked her the same thing 3 times at one point! Ha. On the day of, she was everything. She ran around doing everything for everyone without breaking a sweat. She said "yes" to everything I needed and made me feel completely at ease. She insisted my husband and I sit down to eat and enjoy each other a bit, which we were incredibly thankful for. She always made sure we had what we needed. Right before the ceremony, my 2 year old nephew had the meltdown of the century, holding up the whole thing, and she handled it like a pro. She didn't even seem the slightest bit annoyed! The day wouldn't have been as great without her. So to wrap it up, the Villa is everything. It's beautiful, affordable, and stress free. I would do it over again 100 times. I feel sad that people who never even had a wedding here are giving bad reviews. If they would've, they might be singing a different tune. THANK YOU villa for making my wedding dreams come true. **all the photos are from camera phones. I haven't received my professional photos yet read more

I literally could not have had a better experience at Villa de Amore. Our wedding would not have been as magnificent and beautiful if it were not for them. I have so many friends stressed about wedding planning and the process through VDA was stress-free, it was truly such a relief. My husband and I did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day and just got to enjoy the event. Tori, the coordinator, was amazing. She made sure the day was perfect and we had no stress the day of the event. The food and appetizers were amazing. The late night tacos were an added bonus. A lot better than we have had at many other weddings! The bridal and groom suites were a nice touch and the flowers they provided were absolutely to die for. VDA was professional through and through and always answered my emails in a timely manner. I cannot rave about this place enough. The last thing I have to say is: book this place as your venue ASAP! read more

I can't even begin to say how much i appreciated everyone on the Villa de Amore staff for making my wedding such a beautiful and memorable experience. The villa catering staff was great. Every guest I spoke to after the wedding raved about how much they loved the food. Thank you to the bartender for serving such great drinks at the wedding. I'd love to really thank Laura, our wedding day coordinator for being so great about keeping everything and everyone on track to the wedding timeline. Everything went so smoothly. Made my wedding day so stress free and made it easier for the wedding party. The ground for the venue is beautiful. If you are looking for a inclusive stress free wedding package, this place is for you. When we found this place it was simply by mistake. When we toured it, my husband and I totally feel in love with it. We are so glad we got married here. If your looking for a beautiful, intimate place to get married, this is it. The bonus aspect of this venue is their exceptional staff. We love you Villa. read more

Villa De Amore felt like family. From Mandi and Veronica working on design with us and getting to know us as a couple, to Karen walking us through the day like a fairy godmother. David was incredibly responsive to any of our changes and inquiries. It was truly a magical experience. I couldn't imagine a better venue and group to work with. We also chose Melissa for photography and Ross for our DJ, and both of them went above and beyond. The vineyard was absolutely beautiful even after a rainy March weekend, and there was no shortage of spots to take photos around the venue. We're so grateful for all the incredible work this venue did to make our big day special. read more

Fantastic grounds. Beautiful gardens great wedding venue. Food was just ok. But staff and venue super

This review has long been overdue, but if I could give the Villa 10 stars, I certainly would. From the planning to execution of the wedding - the staff Laura, David, Eileen.. gosh everyone is very helpful. Pros: Venue - breathtaking, abundant photo ops, ground is well kept, gorgeous white roses, and vineyards surrounding the villa Food - delicious. We had Rib-eye, Salmon and Vegetarian entree's served in our wedding. Our guest enjoyed every single bite. (The Villa even provided to go boxes) Staff (servers, bartenders, catering, design... etc). - I wish I could name everyone due to an awesome service. We had approximately 170 guests, and they took care of every single one of them. DJ Ross - Villa's preferred DJ! He is great. Constant communication with my husband and I prior to the wedding. Cons: Perhaps provide a microphone for the bride and groom during the ceremony. Just so everyone could hear their vows. *The all-inclusive venue that would make your your "Wedding" A DAY TO REMEMBER! read more

We had our wedding at Villa de Amore on June 22, 2019 and it was *literally* the best day of our lives. Working with everyone at the Villa was so easy and so much fun. From the designing process (with Monique who brought my entire vision to life) to the catering (the food was seriously incredible), and everyone the day of the wedding (Laura the coordinator who is FANTASTIC) and DJ Ross (who created such memorable, perfectly-timed moments for us), we couldn't have asked for anything better. We were looking at venues in Temecula and Santa Barbara, and nothing that we saw anywhere else compared with the Villa. David, the owner, really showed us his vision for the venue during our initial walk through and explained the process, which just solidified how we felt about the property at first glance. We used all of their recommended vendors, who were equally amazing (shout out to The Studio by LMP, VDA Floral and Elegance on Display)! The best part of the Villa is that you don't need to hire an event planner or drive yourself crazy during the planning process. Every staff member and vendor they work with knows the venue inside and out which makes things SO much easier and stress-free. All of our family and friends had an equally incredible time at our wedding - calling it the "most beautiful" and "most fun" wedding they've ever been to. If you're looking for a venue in Southern California, you NEED to check out Villa de Amore. We had family travel in from the East Coast, who were just blown away with the beauty of the venue and the surrounding areas, and everyone who traveled from Los Angeles was equally impressed. There's a reason the Villa is quickly becoming one of the top wedding venues in the country - seriously, don't wait to check this place out! read more

Yesterday was my first visit to this vineyard. It was one of the nicer wedding venues I've been to. Each event was well organized and proceeded in an orderly fashion. The wedding seemed to go off without a hitch. The staff was courteous and professional. The service provided by everyone I encountered - waiters, bartenders, photographers, security, piano guy, wedding coordinator lady - was excellent. The venue itself is beautiful because it is surrounded by vineyards, well decorated, and seems to have been designed from the outset to host weddings. The one area I felt needed some work was the temperature the meat is cooked to that is coming out of the kitchen because all of the meat served in both entrees and appetizers was well done. However, I'm not sure if this was intentional or not. Getting the parking lot paved would really help women wearing heels get from their vehicles to the venue. The ladies were having trouble before the alcohol started flowing and I became an impromptu crutch to avert disaster. I saw a girl almost wipe out when she rolled her heel. I was confident that she was going to hit the deck but she threw her hand straight up in the air and regained her balance. I was impressed her ability to correct herself. Overall this is an excellent wedding venue. The staff are professionals. They really have their system down. I would refer a friend here. read more

The venue and location The venue is the perfect size for a wedding. All the photo opportunities within Villa attracted us from the start. We had a little over 100 people at our wedding and there easily could have been more. As far as the location goes, VDA is not far from any AirBnb's or hotels. Our families and friends were able to find spots to stay in the area. Unfortunately, we live about 1.5hrs from Temecula so that was kind of a bummer. But if you keep reading, you'll find out why it was still worth it to have our wedding in VDA. David David didn't really have to do a lot of selling when it came to VDA. The venue speaks for itself. We had looked at 6 different venues. (Some were local venues, others were farther away) Villa De Amore was the ONLY venue that offered an all-inclusive package. Sometimes, you'll find a venue and it'll seem like it's in your budget...but add in food, decor, music, the cake, etc...then all of a sudden you're looking at $10K over your budget. :[[[ This wasn't the case at Villa De Amore because they're upfront with costs. They offer different packages depending on your budget. Without writing too much about prices and packages, you're better off setting an appointment to see the venue. Laura the coordinator Laura was the best! She was our day-of coordinator and she did an amazing job! You can tell she's experienced and knows what she's doing. If you're nervous, she puts you at ease. Part of that is because she speaks with you before your big day. Make sure to let her know anything and everything you want for the wedding. It's her job to make sure everything runs smoothly. During our wedding, she was prompt with made sure our timeline was correct. The Dj - Ross Wow! DJ Ross was on point! There are some reviews that say Ross wasn't very good. Uhhh yeah I don't know what they're talking about. Ross was very communicative before and during the wedding. He was a great emcee and kept our guests entertained. His music transitions were always smooth and he even had great transitions when each person gave a speech. If you're worried about the music and DJ Ross, don't be! Just make sure you're in contact with him and you send him your list of music. I guarantee you: the more you plan and the more you communicate with the vendors, then the better your wedding will be. Flowers I'm not really a flower guy. But according to my wife, she loved the flowers. Sorry. They were so nice! I just didn't care because that's not my thing. If you're a guy, just leave all that to your wife. If she's happy with it, then you'll be happy with it. In my opinion, the flowers were great and our appointment with Soireedesign went well. We paid extra for flower crowns and we wish we would have done MOTB & MOTG tiny bouquets. Also, instead of doing flowers at the altar, we would have done flowers on the sweetheart table. This is different for each person, but just make sure you know what you want. Catering/food - Aimee The tasting appointment was really helpful. Aimee showed us different options for the placards and what they needed from us as far as the seating chart goes. The plates have HUGE proportions so make sure your guests come hungry. All of the guests thought the food was good. After the wedding, they put our leftovers in a to-go-box, because we didn't really eat. That was really nice! The food was my favorite part. Linens Follow Villa De Amore's Instagram to get a good feel for their linens, decorations and much more. Following Villa De Amore on all social media platforms can really help the process of deciding what decorations and theme you want for the wedding. Cake/dessert - Elegance on Display The cake and dessert were good although we didn't eat much. (We were too busy!) But everyone said it was really good. And when we went to the tasting appointment we were impressed. Photography/photo booth - Leah & Marcella Marcella did an incredible job at the group/family photos. She really knew how to take charge and organize. We had an amazing engagement photo session so I'd recommend paying for that as well. For the wedding, you get 400 pictures, but I recommend buying more. You really don't want to skimp out when it comes to your photography and videography. Videography We haven't received our video yet, but the great thing about VDA is that they give you a list of select vendors to pick the right one for you. We went with Sidebyside Cinema - Danielle & Jared and hopefully that video turns out great! Design - Monique Monique used the decorations that we talked about. We liked the personalized decorations, our welcome sign with our bike, our hashtag displayed at the bar, and our family portraits displayed. There's an array of decorations that VDA has, so Monique is helpful when it comes to design. Make sure to check with her first before you buy your own decorations. Monique has all the signage you need! read more

My husband and I recently got married at the Villa de Amore. It was a fairytale wedding! I can't say enough amazing things about "VDA". The staff is absolutely incredible. Every time I had a question, I emailed David and he would respond within hours. Everyone is always so flexible and helpful when it came to planning! Laura made the day of my wedding COMPLETELY stress free. I'm so thankful for her. Monique designed/decorated beautifully on the day of. The chef, serving staff, and bartenders where all so amazing. The staff seemed like they truly enjoyed being there along with our family and friends. There are so many options with this venue; different ceremony areas, different reception areas, beautiful areas for photos, different types of vendors that come with the venue! There are so many styles that they can accommodate. If you want to have the wedding of your dreams, you won't have to look any further. read more

My now husband and I got married October 14,2017. Best day of my life ! The weather was perfect the sunset was gorgeous, vineyards still nice and green with grapes!

This was the last place I saw when venue shopping and true when they say you saved the best for last! Both my husband and I fell In love with the villa. First off I wAnna say everything went as I dreamed it was stress free as it can get planning a wedding ! It's all done for you and nothing to worry about on day off. I used most of the vendors that came along with the venue all I had to do was book an appointment at my convience ! The catering was excellent people still till this day still talk about the food. We chose swordfish and NY steak and both were delicious ! Also the appetizers were great we chose the stuffed mushrooms and sliders both excellent! Can't go wrong with the food here. The decor by a Monique was beautiful everything came together just perfect and she listens to your ideas and your Pinterest vision. Laura the wedding coordinator was just an angel!

Villa de Amore - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Temecula, California

My husband and I got married here in October 2023- if you're looking for a wedding venue in Southern California, look no further! I truly cannot rave about Villa de Amore enough. There is a reason they were booked out a year and a half before our wedding day, so definitely book early! David, Eileen and the team just get it and they are truly experts in all things weddings. As a type A bride, it was so nice having all the details laid out and everyone at VDA being so easy to work with. Almost everything is included, which saves money, time and effort not having to bring in a bunch of outside vendors, and the bar is BYOB, which helps a ton if you can get discounted alcohol. Karen, our coordinator, truly was a miracle worker and made everything run smoothly. Mandi, our designer, was amazing and helped us decide on our vision including flowers which was not my strong suit. The venue is laid out perfectly for weddings, and it's rare to have a private venue for 9 hours on your wedding day (without public wine tasting!). Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and loved everything about the venue. Perfect for photos and video- highly recommend upgrading to the videography package with the drone! Thank you VDA for making our big day the best ever! read more

What else can I say? This venue is just breathtaking!  Friends of mine recently got married and held their reception at Villa de Amore and it seemed like the perfect place to hold a wedding for ~100 guests or so.  In addition to the grounds where the nuptials took place, there were so many great areas for gorgeous photos and the grounds are spread out enough for guests to walk about, catch their breath and join in on the celebration.  From the gorgeous patio area, indoor lounge and areas for the groomsmen and bridesmaids to change, as well as the mouth-dropping area for the bar and dining area, people will truly find that this place has so much to offer.  On top of all of this, the staff seemed so helpful, particularly the event planner that worked hands on with the happy couple. read more

(March 18 Wedding) As a designer by profession, I had a very particular vision for, well, every inch of our wedding. I worried that an all-inclusive package might be "cookie cutter" and limit my options, but VDA provides experienced, quality vendors and allows you to use your own photographer/flowers/cake/officiant if preferred (if you use your own, they will credit you). VENUE- My now-husband and I looked at 4 venues with mixed feelings until we came across VDA. As other brides have said, it really was love at first sight. We picked our date and put down our deposit that very day. The other venues we looked at all had 1 or 2 nice areas for photographs, while the rest of the spaces were plain/underwhelming. VDA, however, has such a great variety of gorgeous spaces for photographs (gazebo, vineyard gate and views, rose garden, swing, ballroom, barrel room, bridal suite, groom's suite, twinkle lights, fountains, antique wine truck). The photo ops are endless. OFFICIANT- We chose Mark Lohman (included w/ VDA package), who was excellent. Mark took the time to meet and get to know us in person, and he created a lovely ceremony that made everyone "aww," laugh and cry. CATERING- VDA's food was amazing and defied the typical "wedding food" reputation. We went with the Rib-eye and Pork Tenderloin for entree options. Guests raved about the great food and attentive service. The only big disappointments were the late night tacos (they are included, but it would've been better not to have them at all). ALCOHOL- The bartenders are included with VDA, but alcohol is bring-your-own. You save SO much money from buying your own alcohol! Most other venues require you to use theirs, which comes with a hefty markup. At VDA you can set your own budget. We were able to buy more/better alcohol and take the leftovers home afterwards (and spent about 50% of what we would've with open bar through a caterer). Win win win. DJ- DJ Ross was great. He acted as emcee for the day, kept the guests informed and kept the party going. Our guests had so much fun and danced until the very last minute. COORDINATOR- Laura was a calming force on the big day. She was somehow able to keep everything on schedule, inform everyone on where to be and what to do, and perhaps most importantly, make sure that my husband and I were fed! Laura had snacks waiting in the bridal/groom suites when we arrived, and the schedule allowed my husband and I plenty of time to eat dinner. DESIGNER- Monique was incredible! I provided her with a detailed document with my many design requests, and she went above and beyond. She brought all of my ideas to life and further added to the look & feel I was going for. VDA has rooms full of props and furniture, so there's no need to rent anything. FLOWERS- Soiree Design did an amazing job with the florals. My bridal bouquet and altar arrangement were particularly stunning. I would highly recommend requesting a consultation with Sheila, who is very knowledgeable and has great ideas. PHOTOGRAPHY- We decided to use an outside vendor, Ether & Smith (received credit from VDA), who did a phenomenal job capturing our day. I'm so glad VDA offers this as an option, because from the start I wanted a very specific photographic style, and not being able to choose our own photographer would have been a deal breaker for me. CAKE- Again we decided to use an outside vendor, Cakes to Celebrate (received credit from VDA). We would definitely recommend checking them out. Both my husband and I are not usually fans of wedding cake, but Cakes to Celebrate makes cake that is amazingly moist and not overly sweet. OTHER VENDORS (not included in VDA package)- Just to share, we did hire a few extra services that were NOT included in the VDA all-inclusive package. We hired a videographer, gelato cart and photobooth. --- The VDA team is so professional and experienced that I was able to rest on the big day, knowing that it would all be taken care of. Our day was truly perfect, and we have been getting compliments from guests on all aspects of our wedding. Is it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. read more

Best wedding experience & day of our lives! We are so grateful for the entire staff at this venue for making the process easy & fun. The owner Eileen and her son David have thought of everything to make this the wedding of your dreams. The all-inclusive format makes picking/communicating with vendors, making payments, and organizing everything so easy. From their amazing staff of people who are beyond helpful, kind and organized, to the amount of customization options you have to make the wedding all about you - we were blown away. The grounds are beautiful, private, and allow for so many picture opportunities. The food is spectacular and they even do late night tacos. You have so many options to choose from and it all is amazing. The florals are done in house by Robin and she is a mastermind who is so fun to work with. Villa de Amore pairs couples up with design specialist Monique who makes your wedding vision come to life. She works with you to pick through their own personal wedding home goods pods to select items that you would like displayed on your wedding day as decor. This alone saves couples so much money since you can pick and design your day however you'd like using their endless supplies. Ross the DJ is so helpful and will play only what you ask him to. He makes the process fun and is there to support and make the music/MC vibe you want. We loved working with him and he did an amazing job keeping our families dancing all night. Laura the coordinator is AMAZING. She is there to provide all support to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible. Leading up to the wedding she helps keep you organized with what all items need to be brought to the venue and the day of she is super woman. We are so grateful for her! She even made sure we had time to eat and we saw her jump behind the bar to serve drinks when the line got long. Needless to say, this place is one in a million! So many of the wineries in Temecula charge an arm and a leg for the catering and bar service and you don't have much privacy. At Villa de Amore they have totally changed the game when it comes to weddings and they provide an amazing planning experience as well as day of experience. If we could get married here again just to relive the day we would! Hats off to Eileen and all the staff at VDA. We are blown away and so happy with our experience. Our family and friends have not stopped talking about how much fun they had and how amazing our venue was. Thank you Villa de Amore! read more

If I could rate more than 5 starts I would. This all inclusive venue will make the brides wedding planning a breeze. For a set price they include flowers, food, appetizers, pianist, cake, coordinator, DJ, late night taco stand and much more. I am not a crafty person and I absolute hate party planning so when I came a cross a venue that offers it all; my decision to elect Villa De Amor was easy. The customer service was outstanding and the organization exceeded my expectation. And the venue it's self is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My wedding was in February and the grounds were green and lively. Not to mention we got a good amount of rain in the weeks leading up to the wedding so although the vineyards were empty they still looked green. The last item that stood out to me was that they basically have a home goods storage in the back so I got to go in there and select all the furniture and decor. It doesn't get better than this. read more

We had our wedding at VDA on 3/11/2017 and we really couldn't be any happier! Omg this is going to sound sooooo cliche, but it really was the perfect wedding!!! We looked at several venues before deciding on VDA. I knew I had to book this place as soon as I saw it. We made great use of the entire property and the guests loved all of the photo opportunities! The weather was perfect and the views . The entire planning process was sooooo easy! We think that the all-inclusive package was really worth it. All of the vendors provided were on point and they all made for an awesome team on our wedding day. Many of our guests say it was the best wedding they went to and asked if we can get married again so they can attend again!! -Laura the coordinator: thank you Laura. You really were wonderful on our special day. You were so attentive and truly on point with running the show! -DJ Ross: such a kind and funny guy! You played everything on my playlist and more and the guests loved you! How about that dance off though? :) -Monique the designer: you listened to what I had envisioned and made it come to life! The details were simple yet soooo pretty! -Aimee the caterer: ok, to be honest I wasn't expecting much from wedding food cause it always gets such a bad rep, but the ribeye steak and organic chicken were amazing!!!!! Even our picky guests say the steak was cooked perfectly! -David: you were sooo easy to work with and was always so responsive to my emails! -Soirée: flowers were exactly how I imagined, thank you!! -Elegance on display: desserts were sooo good! We had a smaller two-tier cake, and went with a spread of mini desserts instead. The guests, especially the kids enjoyed it! -The Studio: okay, I have to give it up to these ladies. We had Katy and Sarah for photos and they were soooo good. Sarah was like a ninja, never to be seen but somehow always managed to appear to help us take photos with friends!! Katy is so detailed. She made sure we had the most perfect shots, we really appreciate it and can't wait to see the edited images! Thank you VDA team for helping Steve and I say "We Vu!!!!" read more

Lorenzo and I got married yesterday at Villa de Amore and really had the wedding of our dreams! Every single staff member at the Villa had our best interest at heart and specifically tried to make our day exactly as we wished! Laura- incredible! Efficient, kind, professional and prompt. She was trustworthy and so great at what she does. I was specifically impressed when Laura didn't ever ask me or mention my dress bustle... I had planned on my sisters doing it; Day of came, she whisked me away and bustled my dress with no questions! I was amazed! She was like my fairy god mother; my wish was her command! Catering (Aimee)- again, so efficient and organized and seamless. The food was INCREDIBLE. Tables were perfectly placed and detailed exactly as I wanted. My florist left bunches of spray roses and the catering staff cut them and placed one on each napkin. I left cylinders and floating candles at rehearsal and they filed them and lit them. Every dish came out with a silver cover to keep them warm. We ate the chicken with rice pilaf and asparagus, and the steak with mashed potatoes and spinach&mushrooms. The vegetarians were so impressed with their pasta as well. Monique- So sweet and SO talented. She has such an eye for proportion and balance. Every detail and decoration placed perfectly. I had a very formal white wedding and was specific about not using any vintage decor; I was worried we'd end up having to use some as they are not short of inventory on anything vintage. Monique did not stray from my specific theme and really wowed us. Cake- this was the only detail that had any negativity in reflection of our wedding. There were some miscommunications and I think many guests missed out on/were not served the cake. As far as the baking/decorating Jennifer is wonderfully kind and talented and really brought my vision to life! I only tasted the bite fed to me by my new husband but it was very tasty! Ross(DJ)- such a cool guy. Very easy to talk to, and played from all of our music. He also took requests and kept the night moving with his announcements. I opted out of the included photography, minister & florist. I will be reviewing them all separately and you can find them on my profile soon!! read more

I am a seasoned wedding and event professional in L.A. so I'm going to admit that I'm a VERY hard sell. I have very high expectations and came to VDA knowing exactly what I wanted. We were married here in early October, 2016. The vines were lush and full. The owners really take pride in maintaining the place. In fact, when we first came to the Villa in the winter (yes we planned our wedding in 7 months) the bridal suite and groom's suite were being fully renovated and the grass had been torn out of the courtyard to re-sod. That same care comes from the staff. Back in L.A., even The Four Seasons has to hire "rent-a-staff," but VDA's same wait staff continues to come back to work month after month. I was 90% happy with my wedding day. As I mentioned that's actually very impressive. The one complaint on the day that I noticed, was that I requested and was told extra ceremony chairs would be put out, but they were not. So a handful of people were standing in the back. COORDINATION: The owner, David never made me feel ignored, he responded to all my emails and was very helpful. One-stop-shopping does have the downside of a fairly set way of doing things, and there are a good amount of restrictions. Read your contract before you sign up. Book appointments a few months out if you are coming from out of area. We scheduled about 5 meetings in one day. Laura the day-of coordinator went so far above and beyond on our wedding day to take care of us. She is a real gem in the rough. DESIGNER: Monique is a wonderful person to work with, she takes the time to really get a sense for how you want your wedding to feel and look. We had a lot of fun picking from VDA's large assortment of furnishings, props, and accessories. You can tell that Monique really cares, and puts a lot of time into pulling everything together with a special touch. We also brought a good amount of our own décor which Monique executed how we had envisioned. MINISTER: There are 4 to choose from, and they could probably use a couple more on the list. One is non-sectarian, one is Christian (female I believe), one is a Priest and one was not available. We decided to go with Father Greg Huerta as my husband was raised Catholic. All of the ministers work with you differently, he was a great fit for us. CATERING: At our tasting, many appetizers were a little messy for tray pass so we chose petite items that are easier to eat. People raved at our wedding, how great the meat and cheese appetizer platter was, and main course- steak and salmon both. Also try the purple potatoes at your tasting. Villa received just as many compliments on the caprese salad. Very impressed by the quality of food with 155 guests. CAKE: Elegance on Display is about a 20 min drive. Jennifer made our cake a little smaller so we could do a separate round golf themed Groom's cake the night before. Our wedding cake was beautiful, with edible lace ($20 upgrade). And I received compliments on the taste. PHOTOGRAPHER: VDA includes two photographers to choose from. One was a little too traditional for our taste, the other (Leah Marie "The Studio") wouldn't guarantee us 1 specific photographer, we could only request from their 6... and then hope. We took the photographer credit from VDA and hired our own. DJ: I wasn't thrilled that I was locked into using Ross Creations. I have friends in the industry that I would have wanted to use. We did sneak in using our own MC for the dancing portion of the evening which helped. This is the only vendor (other than the wonderful catering) that you are forced to use at Villa. FLOWERS: Soiree is the florist included at VDA. The bouquets included are lovely you can choose from any floral she is able to get in, I was really happy with our bouquets. Centerpieces include $50 pieces. Sheila does a nice job of doing a simple piece that fits in that budget. I wanted more flowers, it was too sparse for my taste so we chose to do a $20 each upgrade. Sheila even ordered in more of the gold delicate container we chose in order to accommodate our number of tables. Unfortunately it was hot on our wedding day so some of our floral arch flowers died early and some centerpiece flowers had to be removed. I can only partially blame this on Soiree as they cannot control 95 degree heat. COST: So how much does a wedding really cost here? We paid for 160 guests and the location was just under $34k (Sunday rate) for their package. On top of that we chose to host bar tips. After alcohol, transportation, $1000 in floral upgrades, my $2,500 dress/alterations, $400 videographer, $1,500 save the dates and invitations, groom's tux rental, $400 ceremony harpist, some extra rentals we decided to bring in (cushions for chairs in dancing area, etc) we came in around the neighborhood of $45k. read more

This is an ongoing process. My finance and I are getting married at Villa de Amore in November 2013. At this point we are still in the planning phase, and so far so below expectations. The venue is very nice, and unfortunately for me sells itself. After that the communication from the staff has been poor, and that's being generous. The staff and a couple of the vendors take a very long time returning calls. The statement "We'll send you (insert multiple things here) right away, was made repeatedly, rarely with favorable results. I feel like once they got my deposit I was on my own,..but "they're there to help!" They charge the same amount for a 6 year old child as they do an adult which is completely ridiculous. At this point I just want to get on with the wedding and especially the honeymoon part! I'll post throughout the process...so far D+. Hopefully it gets better. read more

Ready for a ROMANTIC, SCENIC, UNIQUE, and 100% PRIVATE wedding??!?? Then definitely check out Villa De Amore!!! Pros: - BEAUTIFUL, well-kept rose garden - SCENIC, LUSH green vineyard view - CALMING sounds of fountains everywhere - GREAT places for fairytale-like photo shoots - Intimate settings & 100% PRIVATE - $9,995 special for weekday wedding package for 50 or less guests - Owner Eileen is super nice and friendly - AWESOME bridal & groom suites Cons: - Reception area is same as ceremony area, so a little preparation is necessary for smooth transition (This may not be a problem though, since day-of-coordinator is included in the package) - Renting the venue by itself is a bit pricey My friend got married here, it's great!!! read more

The perfect wedding venue! Every step from getting ready to leaving is well thought out and moved along flawlessly. The entire staff was on the ball, professional and very helpful with any needs. If you want a perfect wedding with the minimal stress this is the place. read more

Villa De Amore will not only create your dream wedding they will take the stress out of wedding planning. They take care of everything down to the tiniest detail with such care and personalization. Exquisite style, sensational cuisine, and incredible attention to detail were flawlessly orchestrated on our wedding day. Our guests enjoyed the breathtaking views, gorgeous ambiance in an elegant, romantic, and private atmosphere. I do plenty of research before I buy anything and our wedding day was no exception. Living in Orange County I looked all around southern California for the perfect venue. I thought I was going to have to lower my standards when asking for price quotes but my prayers were answered when I found Villa De Amore. I spend hours watching their videos online... crying at how beautiful their stories were while snuggling with my love and dreaming that one day I would be one of those beautiful Villa brides. I couldn't believe that a place this perfect could be this all inclusive and affordable. When Patrick proposed there was no question in my mind where we needed to visit, Villa De Amore was my first choice and when we met the owner Eileen it was last venue. You enter their grounds you are swept away with how beautiful it is, no picture does it justice. Then their team bring your dreams to life and puts your worries at ease. I couldn't ask for a better experience. They have everything there! When we moved from California to Pennsylvania we had to do most of the wedding planing via phone and email. The entire team got everything right without stress or going over budget. David is professional and compassionate for a busy bride. I knew I could count on him for a for any question I needed. From the moment we connected with him, it was like planning with family but stress free! Any worry we had he handled it with empathetic diligence and we couldn't be more grateful. He went above and beyond exceeding all our wedding expectations! Monique is an intuitive artist. She brings your Pinterest boards to life without you lifting a finger. Villa De Amore has all the decor you need. Monique will add personal touches that make your wedding all about you and your groom. There are so many details that described just us I couldn't count them all... some were, globes and love birds for our travels and pictures she framed of us from around the world. I cried when I saw all the spaces she created. The colors and decor flowed beautifully. Aimee was on point with the food and the service. The table set up was breathtaking, I may have picked the linens, flowers ect but they brought it all together beautifully. Everyone raved about the catering and the catering staff. Not only is the food delicious, it is local farm to table. They have options for every preference, it was hard to pick our favorites during the tasting. My husband said the NY Strip Steak was one for the best he ever had. Laura our wedding coordinator was incredible. She is what a nervous bride needs, she has a calm and bright personality that keeps the day running smoothly. I had nothing to worry about because she executed everything I wanted to happen. Because of Laura I was able to truly enjoy our wedding, I am so blessed to have had her apart of our day. I already want to start planning our 10 year anniversary with Laura just so I we can do it all over again! Eileen, The owner of Villa de Amore created little piece of Heaven on Earth and rightfully so, you can tell all the love she has put in creating this beautiful estate from the ground up. There is no hidden agenda, she is transparent in providing you top notch wedding with everything you need at a fair price. That is not common in the wedding industry, there are always "extra" costs but not with Villa. Eileen is committed to doing what's best for her bride and groom. When my Fiance and I met her, we knew we were in the best of hands, you can tell she really cares and loves what she does. We fell in love with Villa because of Eileen, she is the soul that brings it all together. My words could never express how much gratitude I have for Villa De Amore. From day one the journey to our wedding day was a pleasure. I'm not sure what bride can truthfully say that but I was sad when the planning was over. Villa created the perfect wedding day for us. I have so much love for the team that when above and beyond in creating our dream day. From the bottom of my heart thank you!! read more

This is a long review but I just loved my wedding so much and I want everyone to get the full jist of how amazing Villa is and how you should not go with any other venue!!! OMG....I had my wedding at Villa March 12 and just getting back from our honeymoon and reality. I am still having dreams about the wedding. Everything was perfect and the whole experience was flawless. Honestly every bride has told me Something will go wrong so just go with it....guess what EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, and the only reason it was because when you work with Villa De Amore you are working with professionals who know Exactly what they are doing and love their jobs....I don't even know where to begin. When we were first looking at venues Villa De Amore was the first venue we looked at and only one in Temecula....both me and my husband were sold right away but felt we had to look at the other venues in Palm Springs to compare....we looked at 5 in Palm Springs because we thought we wanted to get married there.....none of them even compared. We met Eileen first who is the owner and she was nothing but a dream. Never put any pressure on us and is very smart. Before she left she said that we could tentatively set a date but could think about it which made all the difference. As soon as I walked off the property I knew Villa was it. Our date was 3-12-17 and it was perfect Laura(day of coordinator) is amazing at what she does. The best. She let us stop by the property when I was having mini break downs to go over things and she always made sure my champagne glass was full the whole night of the wedding :) the day of the wedding the whole team had earphones and walkie talkies to each other. It was amazing so they were constantly on top of everything. The bride and groom suites get locked during the reception for security reasons which was amazing and gave me peace of mind with all our stuff, but anytime we needed to go in there Laura was there. Monique is the wedding designer and you have to follow Villa De Amore design on Instagram. She made my dream vision come to life. She is so sweet and talented too! The whole catering team especially Aimee and Carrie were spectacular. PS the food will be the best food you ever have at a wedding. We did the wild caught salmon and steak with garlic mash. WOW DJ Ross was perfect. He kept in touch with me every couple months and locked down details and he kept all our guests on the dance floor and played whatever we wanted. No better DJ out there We went with the studio photography and videography and they were amazing. They were also must haves. Honestly it was and will ever be the best wedding I have been to...and the best part about it I can call it my wedding. I still have people coming up to me saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to and why didn't they know about this venue!? The Villa team will not let you down. In regards to the review below, it is worth every penny and honestly for what you get(your own private venue with 5 star everything) and how you are treated (like celebs) it is an amazing price. You get what you pay for but with Villa you get ALOOOOT MORE!!! Go check it out because I am still dreaming about it.

I wish I could give them more than five stars! I am not the planning type however I felt like I was! They created my dream vision and the only thing I had to do was tell them all my crazy ideas. Every person I met was very communicative and easy to get along with :) the venue is fluid, seamless, and expansive! I've been told countless times our wedding was their favorite and that there were an endless amount of gorgeous backdrops. My only complaint is that I wish we could have had the venue longer! Thank you Villa Staff for our dream wedding read more

Villa de amore is the best wedding venue! I just got married here! Everything was so perfect and beautiful! The food is amazing and they feed you so much! Monique made it look amazing, and customized it to us so much! The desserts were amazing! The flowers were Amazing! All of our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was! The DJ is amazing! We picked Melissa Jewel as our photographer and she is amazing. But most of all Laura the coordinator made sure everything was perfect. She kept checking on us to see if we needed anything and to tell us what would happen next. Plus she was so kind, and she made our day magical. It was the Best day ever! read more
