My daughter had a quick engagement so finding a location for her wedding and reception was tricky but Malibu came through! They accommodated us and we had the ceremony outside on their property since there were no permits available for the grass area nearby. Suzy and Riley were incredible with their communication, planning and help throughout the process and we were blown away with the setup the day of the wedding...they far exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious and the whole setup turned out beautifully!. I highly recommend Malibu Farms!!!

We really enjoyed working with Wedgegood for our wedding! They made everything really easy and were really communicative throughout the process. The package we got came with most items - we decided to go with our own photographer instead of the one they recommended. We also got a videographer, a dance floor, and backdrop. Other than that the price we paid included the venue, food, DJ, all the set up and clean up (tables chairs, etc.), cake and table florals. (I did need to purchase my own bridal and bridesmaid florals). Mostly everything went as planned and everyone had a fun time! It was a beautiful venue and everyone really appreciated being able to go sit outdoors to have a drink.

When we were planning our own wedding, we were heartbroken. Every venue saw us as a "transaction," charging exorbitant fees for basic necessities. We couldn't find a place that felt magical within our budget. So, we decided to invest in our own home. We transformed our backyard into Aphrodite's Fountain—a tiered European-style garden complete with a stream, a custom altar, and a dreamy fog atmosphere. "Now, we open our gates to couples who want the fairytale without the financial stress."

Our guests raved about the garden and the overall ambiance, which felt intimate and romantic. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage. Highly recommend Aphrodite's Fountain to any couple looking for a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind wedding experience.

El Adobe De Capistrano

San Juan Capistrano, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $7,000

The traditional Mexican Palenque was an arena that hosted many large parties and even battles that date back to a Mayan civilization that still stands today in Chiapas, Mexico. El Adobe added the Palenque Room to match this Mexican event space concept and host larger parties of its own. Weddings had long since been taking place at El Adobe but with the new Palenque Room and Chapel location in the adjacent Garden, it gave guests a dedicated space to host a grand wedding celebration with up to 250 guests in attendance. One of the most well-known features of this room is the retractable ceiling that opens up almost 40ft across to expose the skies above San Juan Capistrano. The room and its Garden have evolved over time adding a full bar of its own and spacious restrooms to accommodate the larger guest count. However, it still holds its original style and beauty where thousands have come to celebrate their special events and gather their friends and families for an unforgettable night.

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Offers convenient lodging options
  • Private area for the wedding party

As a wedding planner, I have had the pleasure of working with El Adobe de Capistrano countless times, and I can say with confidence that they are truly a standout venue. Their communication style is attentive and organized, which is so important when coordinating a seamless event. The quality of their work is exceptional - their food is delicious, and the service provided by their wonderful staff is simply incredible. It is so important that I guide my clients to venues that I trust wholeheartedly, and El Adobe is most certainly that!

So happy with WW. They answered all questions I had throughout the process and were easily accessible. The Retreat was such a beautiful venue and they did such a great job. A lot of our guests said “it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to”. Super on top of it! I’m a little neurotic with planning in general and they followed instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond. Only issue - don’t get Tom as your DJ, or else you’ll be disappointed because he doesn’t do remixes or follows instructions diligently. He was good at making announcements, but as far as music goes, I would have been better off playing music off of my phone. They have a DJ that you’re required to use as part of the package because it’s in a residential neighborhood, but they do have other DJ’s aside from Tom. Otherwise everything else that WW did was fantastic.

We just wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to you both and your entire team for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We are still floating in pure bliss from how beautiful and seamless everything was, and it’s all thanks to you. From the very beginning, every interaction we’ve had at your venue has been perfect. Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail have always stood out—and our wedding day was no exception. The venue looked absolutely stunning, and everything ran so smoothly. We truly had no issues from day one, all the way to coming back day after to pick up the cake! Please pass along our heartfelt thanks to your entire team. The serving staff, the bartender—everyone was phenomenal. Our guests had such an amazing time and couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful everything was. The service was top-tier, and the atmosphere was everything we dreamed of. The venue had so much to offer like a whole three tier cake included in the price, golf cart service for us and guest, both bridal and grooms room for the bridal party, and so much more. One of the BIGGEST part was the help from Madison! She was just icing on the cake through the whole process and the sweetest! Also, a special thank you from my dad—he is beyond thrilled that he gets to enjoy some free time to golf on his birthday. That little detail made an even bigger difference for him, and we really appreciate it. We will absolutely be using your venue again for future events like anniversaries, and we’ll be highly recommending you to all of our family, friends, and loved ones who are looking for the perfect space for their celebrations. My whole group who attended the wedding STILL are talking about it all these months later how amazing the venue and wedding was! Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. We are forever grateful. With love and appreciation, The Johnsons.

Just had our wedding here on 9/28/24 and wow where can I start??! From the beginning when we toured the venue, we had no idea what to expect considering this was one of the more relatively lower budget venues we were touring at. So imagine our surprise when we got there and saw this venue, which was even more gorgeous than the more expensive ones we looked at previously. Pictures don’t really do this place justice. The venue has a Spanish-colonial design which makes for a perfect backdrop for photos. The arches both outside and inside the building really makes it feel grand. The string lights in the courtyard are so pretty, both in the daylight and when they’re lit up at nighttime. The hills of rolling green grass in the background really give off that golf club aesthetic and all the palm trees around the venue really pop off and give California vibes. The view of the grassy lawn and palm trees I saw when I walked down the aisle was truly breathtaking and I’ll never forget this moment. But mostly, we were in such good hands with Michael as the director. He comes from tons of experience (over 2000 weddings) and really treats your special day with so much empathy and care. Him and Mayra helped us out in so many ways: -Set up our welcome table, seating chart display, and decorations with very little direction. I didn’t have time during rehearsal to let them know how and where to set it up, and when the wedding day came, everything was already set up so beautifully. -We didn’t know we had to ask for a mic from our DJ, so we didn’t have one, and Michael took care of that problem very quickly. -Michael walked me around the back entrance of the venue before I walked down the aisle, my pointy heels kept getting stuck in the ripped hole in my wedding dress and Michael helped me pull it out twice. -Mayra helped me change into my 2nd wedding dress when I wasn’t able to find my bridesmaids near me. -Michael swept up the fake money off the floor during reception, and also hand delivered us our signature drinks when we asked for them. -I requested a signature drink that they’ve never made before and Michael personally tried out a bunch of recipes and helped pick out the best one. Overall, Michael and Mayra put so much care and thought towards this special moment of our lives. With this venue, you get it all-the perfect coordinators and the most beautiful setting. Some other things to note-food was amazing, both cocktail hour and reception. The food was also plated and presented very well too. The only area of improvement would be that there is no bridal/groom suite. It wasn’t an issue for us since there is a fitting room on site. But in the future, it there is an opportunity, building a bridal/groom suite would improve the experience for others greatly.

We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.

I stayed for a honeymoon, and it was so special, it was romantic, adults only, and the perfect getaway! The rooms were gorgeous and the walk to the beach was so quick and beautiful. Can't wait to return every year for our anniversary.

Adina and the Event Set crew transformed the GMMA into a beautiful wedding site and experience. We picked them because the price was right and the views were beautiful. On the day of the event the flowers were more grand than we expected for our price point, the DJ was engaging, and the food was better than any wedding I’ve attended. They accommodated our Indo-Western wedding with great Indian and western food. We even had his and hers mocktails. The food was the most customizable experience we found on the market. And it was tasty max. Adina is respectful, caring and patient. Your photos will be amazing with the view and the flowers. Especially if you have Trisha as your photographer. She is a master of lighting and angles. She makes quick work of editing and getting the photos back to you. Overall a great experience, less stress, and an all inclusive experience with lots of personalization.

My husband and I got married June 2023 at one of their beachfront properties in Lake Elsinore. They made sure the beach looked perfect before our wedding day and it was completely stress free communication with them. Our vendors came and set up with ease and it wowed our guest when they arrived. We had our wedding and reception area on the beach, a bar and lounge area in the courtyard with our 360 Photo Booth setup, and way more parking than we needed. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again. They were affordable and I liked them so much I used another one of their lake venues for my baby shower!

Even though we had a limited time window of just 2 days to organize the event, Nathalie and Alesia went above and beyond to ensure that everything was in order and ready on time.

Best venue in SoCal! As a catering company, we work at many different venues, and Fete the Venue is by far our favorite. It’s the best! We have catered for a variety of unique events there, and the ballroom transfers to whatever theme you can dream up. It’s a blank slate to work with, very light and airy, and the high ceilings give it a nice open look. It’s exciting to see how different the room looks each time we are there. The outside patio is a wonderful option for your guests to get a breath of fresh air, or set the theme for the event, and it is a beautiful ceremony site. Opening the roll-up doors make an awesome grand entrance for any event, especially a Wedding reception. It is on one level, so there are no stairs or elevators to deal with, and very convenient for the guests to park and enter easily. It’s very well maintained, and always clean. There is always staff on-site at every event, so there is never a problem that isn’t solved quickly, and everyone is such a pleasure to work with, especially Sarah. She is amazing! I would highly recommend Fete the Venue when planning any event to ensure that your day will be a success, leaving your guests with a smile and ready to return again soon!

I was the planner for my daughter's wedding at the Hyatt Newport. From start to finish, we were all thrilled with the coordination throughout by Hayley, the service staff the day of, and the venue. The ceremony in the Amphitheater was lovely, the cocktail hour followed there, and the dinner reception for 100 guests was in the Garden Patio. The Garden Patio was simply perfect. Trees and plants surrounded the area; lights were strung across the patio ... the space felt like a magical oasis all their own to enjoy with their friends and family. Simply beautiful. The firepit was an added bonus, enjoyed all evening with smores kits available for our guests at the end of the reception. Hyatt offered an amazing wedding package, just about everything we needed they were able to provide on-site, which made coordinating with one person for everything quite easy. Having the reception on site of where our guests could also stay was an added bonus as well. We even did the rehearsal luncheon on-site. It was truly a perfect space in Newport for guests to arrive and enjoy without having to drive. There were many great locations around the resort perfect for photos. Hayley was exceptional to work with. Communication was great. The food was amazing. The venue so beautiful. We can't say enough positive things about the Hyatt Newport and all who helped make their day so special. Our thanks to Hayley and her team.
