My husband and I got married here in September of 2024. Overall, our experience was wonderful :) And we are very happy we went with Aliso Viejo Wedgewood! We had an amazing wedding day, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day and their experience as well! There are some outstanding positive things I want to highlight specifically! The highlights: 1. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! We had our ceremony at the fireside location. We loved the view of the mountains and over the golf course and so did our guests! To any future brides and grooms - just keep in mind that the venue does neighbor a community pool and a country club. They assured us that neither the country club or the pool would be a bother by the time our ceremony started, and we are happy to report that this was the case! 2. The team - The Wedgewood team was so helpful, cheerful, flexible, professional and pleasant throughout the entire process. From our initial tour to the wedding day, we felt well cared for. And they were all easy to get a hold of! Our day of coordinator, Breanna, and our Banquet Caption, Brianna, were fantastic and did a great job taking care of us and our day. What stood out especially at our reception, while we were focused on connecting with our guests, they made sure we had our food and drinks. And kept coming to our sweetheart table to see if we needed anything. I can't tell how much that meant to us. They even added personalized touches in our bride and groom suites! Also, also they did a lovely job doing their absolute best to make sure everything went the way we wanted the day to go! 3. The food - the food was amazing! Our guests loved the food. We went with the buffet option, and we are glad we did. 4. The timeline - The timeline was well put together, organized, and thorough. We were able to modify anything if need be. Both the timeline of the wedding day and the overall planning process was well structured. The only thing that would've made our experience even more amazing has to do with communication. While the team was easy to get a hold of and happy to help, we were often communicating with multiple team members throughout the planning process, and some details got missed in translation. It would've been easier if we were only communicating with one person the entire time! Overall, we are really happy with our experience and glad we picked Aliso Viejo Wedgewood! We also loved being able to customize our package so we could get what we wanted without paying for the things we didn't!

I am a bride who booked Fete The Venue for my wedding reception in November of 2025 and I am so excited to have this space to celebrate our special day! The venue itself is breathtaking. It has a very modern, industrial vibe with white interior walls, which flows so well with all types of color schemes and decor. The Fete Team has been so incredibly helpful through my whole planning process. They plan multiple meetings to go over logistics and answer emails same day. We love quick responses!! I’m so excited to use their bridal suite to get ready with all my girls and relax before the nerves set in, lol! We are also hosting our Cocktail Hour at Fete and their outside courtyard is perfect. I wanted something outside and it comfortably fits my guest count (200), outdoor games, cocktail tables, a welcome table, and so much more. I cannot wait to celebrate with all my friends and family in this beautiful space!

I wish everyone could experience the joy of getting married at the Lido House! The customer service was truly exceptional. Brian went above and beyond to help make our day special. They offered a complimentary suite upgrade on the night of our wedding, as well as the night before. They honored all our various food preferences. Brian offered to have multiple meetings to discuss all of the details. When I was sick and had to miss the menu tasting, they put the whole selection in to-go containers and included tea and cough drops in the bag. They offered complimentary car service to the beach for our sunset photos. I could go on and on! I cannot recommend the Lido House more highly.
