The listing pictures don’t do Secluded Garden Estate justice. It’s absolutely beautiful in person, especially for an afternoon wedding at golden hour. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the location was several weeks later. Our wedding photos look like they came right out of Lord of the Rings! The venue includes three separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, with convenient electrical access, kitchenette, and guest restrooms. The hosts, Emily and Dennis, were incredibly easy to work with and put us at ease right away. They are knowledgeable without being pushy, and professional without making us feel like we were being sold to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue.

We got married through the Riverside courthouse at the chapel. It was so easy and affordable, but also very beautiful and special. We were allowed to have up to 40 guests, which was exactly the size we were looking for. The chapel is gorgeous and the photos we got were stunning. I highly recommend as an alternative to a courthouse or city hall wedding.

The Riverside Art Museum was an absolute pleasure to work with for a wedding I DJ for. Their communication style was caring, thoughtful, considerate, detailed, and professional throughout the first of contact til day of the wedding, and throughout. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was truly impressive - the venue was elegant, with breathtaking views that made for a truly memorable setting. When the ceremony ran behind schedule do to the bride not present as of yet, the staff was incredibly accommodating. One thing I must note that I don't see to often. They stayed out of the way until all of the guests had departed before efficiently breaking down the space. It's shows their thoughts are on the couples having a great time up until the last minute and giving the guest time to exit. Not trying to clean up and break down around the guest just to get off sooner. Kisbel (Event Manager) and the entire team felt like close friends committed to making their friends special day a success! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and staff to had worked with for the first time. Highly Recommended!

My Love Wedding Chapel was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we met Leah, the officiant, we felt at ease with her genuine and personable demeanor. As a bilingual officiant, she was able to seamlessly incorporate both English and Spanish into our ceremony, making it inclusive for all of our guests. Leah took the time to get to know our love story and beautifully wove it into the ceremony, which made it feel so special and intimate. We received countless compliments from our family and friends on how amazing the ceremony was, and we couldn't agree more. My Love Wedding Chapel provided us with a truly memorable and flexible experience that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a personal and professional wedding officiant.
