My husband and I couldn't recommend a more BEAUTIFUL venue! Not only is the venue itself a stunning…read moreplace, but the owners are the kindest people we have ever meet. They went above and WAY beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. My husband and I had the luxury of getting married last year at their location and our postponed reception this year. When planning our wedding we originally booked a different location, not knowing that Las Mariposas existed. We found Las Mariposas Estate and IMMEDIATELY fell in love. We threw all original plans out the window and booked at the estate in a heartbeat. Arleth and Mario, the venue owners, hosted a mixer where all vendors were present and it was the easiest decision, other than to marry each other, we have ever made. (You can bring your own vendors, but they picked a good set of vendors as recommendations). Their venue is stunning and their vendor recommendations are affordable and over the top amazing. I highly recommend Las Mariposas Estate to anyone and everyone. They are even growing their venue to include an amazing ballroom!! Thank you for everything, your hard work didn't go unnoticed one bit! We always thought the wedding process would be stressful, but Las Mariposas took the stress out of planning! P.S. if you like lemonade, you have to ask Arleth and Mario about their lavender lemonade. Hands down, the best lemonade we have ever tried.

This hotel was decently priced on Groupon and was a nice getaway from the busy city life…read more My boyfriend and I only stayed for one night, but overall, we enjoyed our stay. Upon checking in, I think the manager was there helping us, and she was super welcoming. We had a king sized bed suite that had a lot of open space and a pretty large bathtub, which was nice to sink into after sitting in the hot tubs. In my opinion, the room could have had a little more decor or upgrade in furniture. The room was a little bare and felt far from being "romantic" as Groupon had described it. What stood out to me the most was that the chair at the desk had a few stains on the seat cushion. Other than that, the room was well kept. Because the hotel was a little further from the city, it had a great view of the sky at night! Not used to seeing the sky so clear without all the light and smog pollution.

Jenelle, Mark, and their team were absolutely amazing and helped make my wedding the perfect day…read more For months leading up to the day, Jenelle was so responsive to emails, helped us figure out how to bring our ideas to life, and was honest about what she thought was the best way to make everything work out. Jenelle was also able to make some great vendor recommendations that worked out wonderfully. The venue itself was beautiful and many of our friends told us during the night that they would have gotten married here if they had known about it for their weddings. Every member of the staff was so helpful and two steps ahead of every single one of our needs for the day before we even knew we needed them. Jenelle was the ultimate star of the show and truly made the day run so smoothly every step of the way.

Took a tour of this venue for our future wedding to see if this was the one. Alas, no, too many…read morepractical issues, but we liked the property, it would cater to some exclusive groups, just misses some marks with us as the space and layout is an issue. But here's my notes on the property: overnight accommodations, great place, only issue would be parking. For 3 days and 2 nights you rent the guest cottage as well as the ballroom/main kitchen and terrace areas of the main house for about $8,500 for all the events. The only thing they would like is to not use both locations for any particular one event. But you can have the rehearsal at either, the wedding/cocktails (pretty much anywhere food or beverage is served) at one or the other, the ceremony at one and Sunday brunch at either. More than likely, it works the best with the cottages being the place for a rehearsal dinner, maybe ceremony, the main house for ceremony and reception, and guest cottages for Sunday brunch. They are flexible on outside vendors, but do have a preferred list. Outside vendors must be insured and licensed. This place reminds me of much of Montecito except Bonsall is re-surging from strictly old rural areas to newer neighborhoods so there are still pockets of rural/horse farms in between nice properties. The view is country hillsides. The roads as of 2012 were undergoing construction. Would have to check back and see what progress has been made to make the trip there more beautiful and to see what Saturday afternoon, Friday evening, Saturday night and Sunday morning traffic would be like. May cost about $2000 to solve the parking issue. Not sure what the costs are going to be for on site transport. Overall the customer service was good, but it definitely seemed for a property that wants to do weddings on an exclusive basis there is way too much DIY costs here to accommodate it. It's just a great house on a tree filled property that originally wasn't meant for events. The layout alone provides conflicts and at first they seemed flexible but as I asked further questions about working around the issues there seemed to be less flexibility. Couple that with the owners living on site and you essentially borrowing their space, it just feels awkward and less exclusive to me. The lose a star for that, but other than is a great property. If you aim low, have a small guest list, your guests won't mind a shuttle or carpooling, can do without a valet, do not mind sharing a property with someone, do not need to accommodate disabilities/elderly much or require more than 2-4 peoples worth of overnight accommodation, you should be fine.
