Let me start by saying that the Secret Garden and the Epic Coordination team made all of my wedding dreams come true! I recently got married at the Secret Garden on April 28th, 2024. It truly was the most magical day of my life not just because I was marrying my soulmate, but because of the amazing coordination team that made our vision come to life. It was the first venue that my husband and I looked at, and we immediately fell in love with it. We loved that it was a beautiful indoor and outdoor garden venue, but we also loved how they offered an all-inclusive wedding package. They have a list of recommended vendors, including DJ, caterer, florist, photography/videography, and so much more. They give you the option to choose a vendor that they don't have on their recommended list, but we did everything through them and I wouldn't have had it any other way. They really offer the best-of-the-best professionals that know exactly what they're doing. A special shoutout to our coordinator, Laura, for being so organized and making sure everything was perfect on our big day! When it came to the day of the wedding, the entire timeline flowed seamlessly. None of the guests were left waiting around or wondering what was going on because the coordination team was so on top of everything! Everyone at our wedding, including myself and my husband, had an amazing time. Another thing to mention was that the communication with the Secret Garden and their team was beyond excellent! Any question I had, they answered promptly and made sure that the planning process was seamless. I had an enjoyable experience planning our wedding thanks to the support from the Secret Garden and Epic team! To conclude, my wedding day at the Secret Garden was literally the happiest day of our lives! It couldn't have been more perfect. If you're envisioning a fairytale garden wedding like I was, choose this venue!

With warm, elevated service, exceptional food and beverage, and a 27-hole golf course perfect for pre-wedding fun, Temecula Creek Inn is a secluded destination that feels worlds away, yet perfectly within reach.

We are still floating on cloud nine after our wedding at Temecula Creek Inn this past weekend. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely magical. We hosted our rehearsal in the beautiful Meadows and used the lush grounds as a backdrop for our bridal party photos in traditional Vietnamese dresses—it made for the most stunning, heartfelt moments. Our actual wedding took place at the Stone House, and it was nothing short of perfection. One of the unexpected highlights of a spring wedding was seeing all the rose bushes in full bloom. The entire property was incredibly green and well-maintained—a noticeable difference from other nearby venues that relied on artificial turf, which felt less authentic in comparison. TCI’s grounds are truly exceptional, with a rustic, romantic charm that brought our Bridgerton-inspired enchanted garden theme to life. From the babbling creek and grand tree canopy to the string lights and lush lawns, every corner of the venue shined with natural beauty. If you're dreaming of an outdoor wedding, look no further. One huge perk is that TCI isn’t subject to a 10pm curfew, which gave us the flexibility to keep the celebration going. Because they’re owned by Pechanga, we were also able to provide guests with shuttle rides to the casino for an unforgettable after-party. And for the golf enthusiasts in our group, the nighttime glow golf competition was a surprise hit—something we’ve never seen at another venue! The Stone House itself is steeped in history and full of character. With its cozy fireplace and intimate feel, it offered what I can only describe as understated luxury—warm, inviting, and personal without ever feeling over-the-top. During our ceremony, several guests told us they saw golden specks floating in the air as the sunlight streamed in—it was probably pollen, but it looked just like fairy dust. Truly a fairytale moment! A special shoutout to Erika P., who answered all of our many questions with patience and clarity. The front desk staff greeted us so warmly, and every team member we interacted with—from housekeeping to the servers at Cork Fire Kitchen—was attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. Thanks to TCI, we had the wedding of our dreams, and we already can’t wait to come back for a future anniversary stay.

We had our wedding at Carter Lane Estates, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! We had our ceremony on the lawn, tucked away and surrounded by gorgeous landscaping of rock work and olive trees. We had our reception in the barn, and everything was exactly as we hoped. Jennifer was so kind, communicative, and very easy to work with! Since she knows the layout of her property so well, she knew what decor would look good, and where to place furniture and vendors. Jennifer assisted with the supervision of our chair and arbor deliveries, and was the point person for the rest of the vendors, so the bride and groom could relax. She made the whole event seamless! Highly recommend this place!
