A beautiful venue with incredible nature and views. Everything was well organized, from the ceremony, the cocktails and the reception. Food was incredible too. – Andreas Aristidou via Google reviews.

Where do I begin, first I want to give a major Thank you to Ashley who helped me with the whole process at Sacred Mountain. Ashley was so patient with me, especially during this stressful time. I would absolutely recommend this venue, it’s absolutely breathtaking. Everyone was so nice and very helpful in making such a special memory for my husband and me. Thanks again Ashley for everything in making my wedding day possible at Sacred Mountain! – Victoria Pickard via Google reviews.

We attended a wedding there and it was an incredibly beautiful venue. The staff was very friendly and helpful. On that day there were very strong Santa Ana winds, with fire warnings, so the electricity got turned off during the event. However, there was a generator supplied, so, thanks to them, everything continued wonderfully. I highly recommend Sacred Mountain. – James Morgan via Google reviews.

We had an incredible wedding weekend at Estancia. The grounds are stunning, the staff is so helpful, and the actual wedding was a gorgeous, perfect, rowdy party. They anticipated our needs and went above & beyond for our stay. Riley was so incredibly helpful during the entire planning process; she was so kind to make some exceptions and throw in some extras for us. Thank you, Estancia for an unforgettable weekend! – Amanda B. via Google reviews.

We received nothing but the best of everything from the Estancia. Brenna, the valet guys, the front desk, the service staff during lunch, Felipe at Mustang & Burros, and everyone we met at the hotel were super professional and friendly. We had our ceremony and lunch on the Olive Lawn, which affords an intimate, private setting surrounded by beautiful plantings and buildings. This place has a total “Santa Barbara/Montecito” ambiance tucked away across from UCSD. Like another reviewer, Ray, Sean, and the other guys on the valet team work their butts off and set the great tone for everything else at the Estancia!- Jim A. via Google reviews.

There aren’t enough words to describe how incredible our wedding was at HVL! From the very first tour, to the entire process, to the night of, HVL was so amazing to work with. Darcie and Daisy were so very responsive and so helpful to us. They made everything so easy! The location was absolutely stunning and this was seriously a dream day. We highly recommend HVL to any engaged couple looking for a wedding venue! Planning a wedding is stressful, but the girls at HVL made it so easy and seamless. – Jaden via Google reviews.

This venue was amazing! When we went to tour, they were still under construction but we thought just with the ocean view, it would be worth it. The view is great but the elegant look of the venue makes it a perfect wedding venue! You won’t find a better costing venue with an ocean view than this one. The staff were so attentive of every little detail and made it easy to plan the ceremony and reception. They even took care of all the papers so we could use the park across the street for our ceremony! Thank you Tracy & Annalisa, you guys are awesome! – Kelly Glass via Google reviews.

We looked at a few different venues before deciding on HVL. I pretty much knew from the initial consultation that I would be going with them as Darcie was so thorough and attentive to all of our questions. Shortly after signing the contract we had Daisy take over and she was just amazing. Always answering my random questions/emails and always making us feel important. She helped us pick out everything and adjusted our contract as needed whenever I made a change or added things. Everything ran so smoothly as she and Sam were there at the wedding making sure all was perfect. And it was. Thank you so much! – Yvonne Cerda via Google reviews.

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding here. I couldn’t be more impressed with the tranquil stress free setting and how it caused a wonderful environment for everyone be so relaxed. Everything was handled so professionally and with so much care and love. Each staff member gave their all to us; we felt that attitude was led by the owners, Bob and Lisa, who made us feel part of their family. It was truly a magical time. We are grateful for Bob and Lisa’s creation. – Call Realty Best Palos Verdes Homes via Google reviews.

Guests were blown away. Everything was taken care of exactly to our asking – and we had many specificities. Couldn’t have asked for more. Expectations far exceeded. Thank you Condor’s Nest Ranch! – Sam E. via WeddingWire reviews.

My husband and I found Condor’s Nest Ranch through Google. We knew we wanted a rustic venue from the start. The Nest was only the 3rd place we looked at and knew right away it was the ONE.

The venue is beautiful, and the staff was extremely responsive during the initial meeting and tour and especially during the event. It was simply amazing, these are the words from the bride, my daughter. – Tom A. via WeddingWire reviews.

We met and completed a tour with Vista Valley Country Club and the grounds were absolutely stunning. Nestled away from the golf course and the hustle and bustle of the everyday members, the ceremony and reception site if done outdoors is to die for. It was absolutely beautiful and barely fell short as our second choice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a rustic outdoor venue! – Meghan S. via WeddingWire reviews.

Kristy and Laura were great to work with! I was so grateful to be planning our wedding at a venue with such supportive and professional staff. Kristy was wonderful in helping plan the details from food to decor to day-of timing. The venue itself is truly a hidden gem! The outdoor ceremony space absolutely took my breath away.

I absolutely love this venue! As someone who works in the wedding industry, I knew I wanted something aesthetically pleasing but also practical for our wedding venue. Our guests thought the setting was so perfect for us and also loved the central downtown location to explore.

Would highly recommend any of Luce Loft’s venues! – Kelsey Gregge via Google reviews.

Big open Loft for the perfect small or medium size wedding we loved the location right in downtown SD. The owner and management were very easy to work with. They have a list of vendors they have worked with before to jump-start our planning. The best part is the space is completely open so we were free to create our own look with the tables and chairs that we rented. The inside is so unique that we really didn’t have to do much decorating which helped with our budget. – Missy via WeddingWire reviews.

Our wedding planner suggested Rancho Valencia. I am so glad she did! The venue itself is stunning! Beautiful grounds, glorious accommodations, amazing food and drinks and the kindest team members. Riley, in particular, was great ! She took our vision and made it into a reality! She was very accommodating to our requests and all our changes as a result of COVID. We were so happy with how the day turned out. Thank you Rancho Valencia ! We will be back ! The spa is also AMAZING for any bride/ bridal party wanting to destress/ unwind before the big day! – Emily O via Theknot.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rancho Valencia. I worked closely with Niki Ellis, and she was so wonderful, accommodating and helpful. She added little touches to our weekend that was so sweet. When I was working with Lauren on room reservations, we worked together to help book my family and friends in the correct rooms, she was so patient and so helpful. This resort is not only gorgeous, but the food is consistently great. The service was terrific and I’m just so happy I had my wedding here. They really took care of us and made sure everything was successful. I can’t wait to come back, and all my guests said the same. Thanks, guys! – Alexis M via TheKnot.

We had our wedding here and spent 3 nights at the hacienda house on the property. Everything was top notch, the service was great, the property and accommodations are definitely 5 stars, the food at the wedding and at the restaurants was amazing, and every single person was friendly and helpful. All of our family that stayed here were beyond happy. Thank you so much to Nikki and the rest of the staff. – Kory Butler via Google reviews.
