Falkner Winery

We are beyond grateful to have celebrated our wedding at Falkner Winery! The views are absolutely stunning, with breathtaking vistas of the vineyards and hills that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The ceremony area, surrounded by beautiful Tuscan trees, was nothing short of magical. A huge thank you to the wedding staff, especially Danielle and Jenna, who were a joy to work with. They were incredibly organized and attentive, making the planning process seamless and stress-free. The food was delicious—our guests couldn't stop complimenting the meals! We truly appreciate the care and effort the team put into making our wedding unforgettable. Falkner Winery was the perfect venue for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a beautiful July wedding at Falkner Winery and truly enjoyed working with the team! They answered all our questions and helped ensure we had an amazing day!

We had a fantastic experience for our wedding!! Danielle and the crew were amazing throughout our process, we had no wedding planner and had to do most of the planning portion, and this staff was incredibly helpful. I hey answer questions quickly , Loretta the owner is very personable and will work with you throughout the process. I would 10/10 recommend them for your wedding, and the venue is BREATHTAKING !

Falkner Winery was an incredible place to get married. We knew it was our venue the first day we toured it. It is a gorgeous space, looks just out of Italy or Tuscany with the cypress trees, white roses, and greenery everywhere. We loved that the space is 3 distinct locations, the cypress tree garden, the backyard lawn, and the pinnacle room/restaurant. It creates for a perfect evening and they have beautiful lights set up that illuminate the lawn. AND THE SUNSETS are to die for. The team at Falkner is equally incredible. From the beginning Loretta was a joy to work with, and their new wedding manager, Dani, is truly a force to be reckoned with. She is super organized and on top of everything!!! Falkner was going through a few changes and their tasting event had a few issues - Loretta was amazing about resolving these and finding a solution that would make us feel happy and assured going into our wedding. The food was SO GOOD. Everyone at our wedding loved it and could not stop raving about it! We did the buffet style. Dani was fantastic throughout the night keeping things on track, holding our vendors accountable, and helping us with any and everything we requested. It was truly our dream wedding and Falkner and their team were a huge part of that. Don’t hesitate!!!!

We had our wedding at Falkner Winery on 9/1/24. It was the smoothest, most magical day. The ceremony and reception spaces were gorgeous, we had excellent weather and an incredible sunset that painted the sky. The colors of the evening blended beautifully with the panoramic view of Temecula’s wine country. Seriously such a stunning venue. We opted for the beer and wine package with a buffet instead of plated dinner. Drinks were excellent and we had a little something for everybody! For appetizers we had bruschetta, and shrimp skewers along with some baked brie. OUR GUESTS LOVED ALL THE FOOD. For the meal, we had salmon and garlic rosemary steak along with salads and roasted potatoes among a few other items. Man this food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We loved how the event flowed. To get to the ceremony you literally walk down an enchanted pathway surrounded by cypress trees with the glowing, golden hour sun in the distance. All your guests get to experience that and it leads them to the ceremony which seems so private even though it’s right on property by everything else. After cermony, guests go to cocktail hour on the patio overlooking wine country and the reception with dancing is all set up in the garden up behind the main building. The whole crew at falkner made everything so easy. Our wedding manager Sophie was outstanding at communicating and customer service. She checked in with us at all the right times ensuring we had everything we needed and knew what was coming up next. I’m not exaggerating when I say we did not have a single thing to worry about all day, it was unbelievably smooth. Sophie you are a rocktar and made our day perfect! This day was everything we hoped for and more, when your wedding happens there’s so much to take in and enjoy. Falker delivers on every level giving you the peace of mind you need on your wedding day in order to be present during all the moments and make the best memories with you friends and family. 10/10

This venue is absolutely amazing!! Every part of the planning process was wonderful and stress free. We viewed many winery’s in Temecula and quickly realized this was the nicest for the price range of all the winery’s (do your own research but they are all similarly priced). Once we met with the wedding manager we felt a huge weight off of our shoulders because of her expertise and flexibility. She is amazing and so is her assistant. The day was seamless and went according to plan. This venue has everything you will need and makes it easy to hire outside vendors for whatever you need if desired. We went with the venue food and literally every single guest said it was the best wedding food they have had. The liquor package was a no brainer too, great service! Lastly, this venue will give you the prettiest wedding pictures you could ever imagine and these are the memories you will cherish forever.

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding here this past weekend, and I must say they really took care of us. We had champagne in the bridal suite when we arrived and the groomsmen all got beer before ceremony time. Day before we did our rehearsal with Danielle and she made it really fun. I was glad because we literally didn't have to do anything-Danielle and Jenna took care of all of our set up and then got us all down the aisle, with out the bride and groom seeing each other. The venue was sooooo beautiful and even in August it wasn't even hot! I ended up having to take my boyfriends jacket at dinner. The food was soooo good too. It was such a fun time! We danced, we drank, and we partied all night!

I was married here in May, and I love talking about how beautiful my wedding was. I met with Danielle, and she let me know she was new there and that made me very nervous, but she delivered! She ensured me that we would have the best day and I am so grateful we trusted the Falkner team. My husband and I cannot stop talking about how incredible our day was and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the food was! Everything that was promised, was delivered, and then some. Thank you Falkner for making sure we had the most perfect day!

Overall our experience getting married at Falkner was positive. First of all, it is an absolutely beautiful venue! From the romantic Italian inspired ceremony space, sunset cocktail hour patio, and "elevated backyard feel" garden reception space we were so pleased to experience it and see it all come together on our wedding day. We loved how everything felt separate but was all in one place. During the wedding process, we were pleased to be assigned Danielle as our venue coordinator. She was friendly and worked well with our outside planner. Jenna was also very helpful in running our rehearsal and assisting Danielle on the day of our wedding. We were very happy with the friendliness of the staff and how delicious the buffet meal was. As with all weddings, there were a few setbacks. I do feel like the communication was spotty at times. Especially on wedding day, our outsider planner informed us the elevator that takes guests from the parking lot to the ceremony space was broken. While unexpected for everyone, there didn't seem to be any sort of urgency to get this fixed nor any compensation mentioned for how quickly we had to work around this set back. We were also frustrated with the quality/presentation of our signature drinks. For how much we paid for these drinks to be served for a 3 hour time frame, there were no garnishes (limes) served with a moscow mule. As minor as it sounds, we expected a bit more for our guests! Overall, we are thankful to have gotten married here. We were even more thankful that Falkner closes to the public for their weddings (it is hard to find venues that do this when looking in wine country!) 

The venue is beautiful. I fell in love immediately. Our guests raved about how beautiful it was. Danielle was awesome day of. She made sure my husband and I had all our food and drinks. She was great at rehearsal. She was quick to respond to emails. A couple things weren't placed exactly were I envisioned it. For example, my dad built our welcome sign and I pictured it to the side of the fountain with the fountain on. It was placed right in front of the fountain (which was not on). Nothing guests would notice. Or our sweetheart table didnt have a linen so we went to traget to get one and it wasn't quite long enough. Things missed in communication. The owner, Loretta, is not the most organized. She often would not remember prior conversations and would call multiple times asking things that were all laid out in emails. Best to have a paper trail with her. Overall, I would have my wedding there again. Stunning and Danielle was great. The food was amazing too.

I got married here this past May. When we booked we fell in love with the ceremony site and were promised white roses would be blooming by our wedding, and they were! We worked with Danielle our coordinator and she made sure everything was perfect, from our rehearsal, to our set up, and even helping make sure everything got put away. We trusted her and her team and they made sure we had an unforgettable night!

Falkner Winery made my sister’s wedding unforgettable! The venue was stunning with its gorgeous sunset views and blooming vineyards. The food was delicious, everyone couldn't stop talking about how awesome it tasted, from the baked Brie to the selection of salads, sides and entrees. The staff were amazing, so friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. Sophie, our coordinator, was a total rockstar, keeping us organized and stress-free throughout the course of the entire day. Overall, Falkner Winery gave my sister and our family the wedding of our dreams. It’s a perfect blend of elegance and fun! It was such a magical day, and we're so grateful to everyone there for making it unforgettable!

We got married here in June. The venue itself is beautiful and I had very high hopes when reading the reviews on here before we booked. I am noticing now, however, that every great review is not for our coordinator. Communication and professionalism is terrible. I happened to meet another bride during our wine tasting event who shared the same experience, and even mentioned that they were considering taking it to small claims court after their event. We met with our coordinator, Danielle, a month before our wedding. We came ready with our wedding binder which had all of our decor, timeline, inventory, in FULL detail and we went over everything with her. She mentioned so many times how organized and prepared we were and how this would help make our day seamless. She confirmed she would put out all of our welcome decor, ceremony, and reception decor. We offered several times to do it but she stated that it was part of her and the staff's responsibility and she would take care of it. At the rehearsal, we tried to go over everything with her as we brought it in but she rushed us out and assured us that she would know where everything went if it was labeled. We had everything organized into individual totes with pictures of what it should look like and when it should be put out. Again, she mentioned how well everything was organized and how easy the setup would be. The day of the wedding, Danielle was late and one hour before the ceremony was supposed to start we noticed none of our Welcome decor was out yet. Everyone was questioning where the coordinator was and nobody could get a hold of her. My bridesmaids had to run around in full hair & makeup in 85 degree weather putting out our welcome decor, welcome mirror, and ceremony florals while Danielle was nowhere to be found. Eventually my bridesmaids found her TAPING up our welcome sign that she broke and that's what was keeping her occupied. Our welcome table was never setup properly, we managed to put out the card box and guestbook as guests were arriving. Thanks to our bridal party, everything did get put out eventually and our ceremony was beautiful. For our reception, we had written individual letters to all of our guests that were to be opened when we sat down for dinner. When the ceremony ended, the guests were instructed to head over to cocktail hour. Danielle's job was to escort the guests to the patio while the reception space was set up. She disappeared and was not there to guide the guests to the proper space so they ended up in the reception space before it was ready. This took away our chance to see the reception space before guests sat down and began opening their letters and our photographer was not able to take photos of our reception decor. Our table setup was nowhere near what our photos indicated and our bridal party had to completely redo them. Instead of enjoying our cocktail hour as we hoped, they were busy filling vases with water and redoing the tables. We had to move all of our guests out of the space while we fixed them and then back in which completely threw off our timeline. Our bridal party also had to go find and set out all the things that Danielle forgot to, like our glow sticks, champagne tower, and our bubbles for the grand exit. Overall, our wedding was beautiful because our bridal party was so on top of it and they picked up the slack. Our coordinator was more stress than help and seemed flustered the entire time. It would have been easier to just do it all ourselves from the start. She took no pride in her job and paid no attention to detail, essentially just doing the bare minimum. She did take responsibility for not being present to guide the guests, but at that point the damage was already done. There's likely a reason that she is not mentioned in any of these positive reviews and whoever Abby is, I wish we would have had her! Overall, we had a beautiful wedding and everyone had an amazing time but there was so much more chaos than necessary because of the coordinator. I have to give props to the Chef, because the food was spectacular and my guests are still talking about it and like I said, the venue is absolutely beautiful. However, I would definitely not recommend unless your have your own wedding coordinator/planner that you trust that will handle your special day with care and pride.

We just recently had our wedding May 2024, the venue is phenomenal!! From the minute we saw it, we knew this is where we wanted to get married! THE FOOD, every one raved about how it was the best wedding food they have ever had!! My husband and I had a wonderful experience here and can’t wait to come back! Would choose this venue over and over if we could get married again, it’s italy in California, amazing views of the vineyards, the ceremony and reception area are to die for!! Loved getting married here!

Back in 2022 when we got engaged, we were so excited to book with falkner winery for our May 2024 wedding. It is truly a beautiful venue but that is what unfortunately fooled us. When you go in to get quotes—they will tell you mis correct information. If it says “UNLIMITED BEER AND WINE”— that’s NOT TRUE. Our Coronas were warm all night. They didn’t provide limes like they stated. We ran out of Coors Light beer within the first 30 mins of cocktail hour & was told on my wedding day that they only accommodate “2 drinks per person per hour”. NEVER was that in my signed contract nor was that voiced to me and my planner. They false advertise their venue to the MAX it’s pathetic. Loretta, the owner. Has people hacking into her emails and scamming brides out of thousands of dollars. I got the email from the hacker, sent it to Loretta to inform her that the hacker was back and she did not give two . She is very unprofessional in every way possible. Does not communicate with any brides. Our final total was due May 3rd. My husband and I had to reach out to multiple employees and Loretta multiple times in order to get the final total. THATS NOT MY JOB! If you have own decor you are bringing— keep that in your own vehicle and leave it over night. We kept our decor on site—the venue coordinator did not mark my boxes as she was supposed to and they ended up with another brides stuff. NONE of my signage was out and I had 3 boxes. Did they care when I informed them?? Absolutely not. I could go on and on about my experience. Never again will they be receiving my support. Run from this venue; now. DO NOT BOOK!!!!!!

After touring a couple wineries for our wedding, we chose Falkner Winery. We had our wedding in November 2023 and it was the most beautiful day!!! We were on weather watch that week...and it rained and thundered the night before! Abby, our AWESOME coordinator reassured us that everything will be ok! She was definitely right!! We trusted her with our vision and I couldn't ask for more! She was right when we needed her, answered questions. We felt at ease and we are extremely happy and grateful Abby was our side before , during and after the ceremony. Everything ran smoothly! We were not worried at all-Abby took really good care for us! Falkner Winery has the most stunning views than any other winery venue! Their outdoor ceremony area stole our hearts from the walkway aisle, it looks like we were in Europe! We took beautiful and stunning pictures especially during the "golden hour" -beautiful sunsets! I HIGHLY recommend you have your wedding at Falkner Winery!! A BIG THANK YOU to the wedding staff there especially Abby! You made our wedding memorable and so beautiful!! Michael and Laura Misquez

My wife and I had our wedding here at Falkner a few weeks ago and it was beyond anything we could have ever imagined! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous with stunning views of the vineyard and sunsets. Our day was perfect from start to finish, our wedding manager, Abbey, guided us through the day and helped us in so many different ways. She started with a very detailed rehearsal the day prior to our wedding that really helped ease my stress, then day of she set out all of our decor, served us dinner and drinks, placed up all of our stuff and kept us on our timeline. We truly count not have done it without her!!!! The food was delicious and the drinks were great. All the staff were professional and polite! I would highly suggest having your wedding here at Falkner Winery!

We had our wedding here at Falkner Winery and it was so beautiful! the vineyard was full and the roses were fully in bloom and the sunset and gorgeous! Throughout the planning process we worked with our wedding Manager, Abbey who was a freaking superstar! She answered so many text, calls, and emails, and made our wedding dreams come to life day-off. She set out all of our decorations to perfection, tamed our crazy bridal party, served mt family and the groom and I food and drinks all night and so much more. She was great to work with and we truly credit our successful day to her. The rest of the staff at Falkner is great too, they were very professional and the bartenders were friendly!!! The food was absolutely amazing and the chef himself helped serve and made sure each guest was happy! I love Falkner and the new memories we have made here, we can’t wait to come back to wine country for our anniversary.

My two stars are for the only positives: beauty of the venue and taste of the food. Dealing with Loretta and Abbey made the wedding process incredibly challenging. Communication with them leading up was bare none, our day of execution was missing certain items, Abbey was nowhere to be found in some moments when I needed her, the bridal suite didn’t come with champagne, Loretta was rude to my wedding party, accused me of not sending payment when she continuously gave wrong routing numbers, just a mess. They both added so much unnecessary stress to my day I would never have a wedding there again. Please save yourself a headache, the venue is great but not worth it.

We had our daughters wedding here a few weeks ago. The venue was gorgeous! The ceremony area breathless ! The food was delicious & wine was superb! My guest had a great time and complimented the beauty of the venue and wedding throughout the night and after. However, the reason I did not give this venue all 5 stars is because of of the lack of organization & service during the wedding. We paid an extra fee to have an “enhanced “ day coordinator. I don’t think we received that extra service. First our bridal suite and groomsmen room was not prepared in the way it was promised. Our assigned coordinator, Abby was not around many times we needed her. She assured us that everything we asked for in advance would get done accordingly but several of our decorations did not get put out . A friend of ours noticed . She found out where everything was kept and put the rest of the items out for us. She even organized our party favor tables better. A few money envelopes went missing from the card box due to the fact that it was placed in an area away from view . I would have liked to have seen where our welcome table and party favor tables were before the reception to make sure it was all done right but because that set up doesn’t get done until the winery closes at 5 pm that is not possible . My daughter made a sign to point our guests to the ceremony, but it didn’t get put out . The ceremony location is not obvious at this venue . You need proper signage or someone directing people. My husband saw several guests roaming and directed them to the restaurant elevator across the parking lot. Abby didn’t allow our DJ to leave any equipment at the reception area until 4pm when we were previously told 3 pm would be fine. The DJ was also playing the music at the ceremony so there wasn’t enough time to move everything across the parking lot to set up and begin playing for cocktail hour at 5:30pm, so there wasn’t any music during cocktail hour. At the start of our buffet dinner it was announced that tables were going to be called out. That didn’t happen and there wasn’t anyone to direct my 132 guest to get up , so the buffet line was a disaster. I think the coordinator should have stepped in but she didn’t . I really should have just hired our own day coordinator because other than bringing us our dinner plates & helping us with clean up everything else that Abby did for us was already included in the contract. I was also disappointed that all my complaints were expressed via email & text to both Loretta, the owner and to Abby after the wedding and neither one of them responded.

I had my wedding here at Falkner a few weeks back and let me tell you, it was beyond anything we could have ever imagined! The venue was beautiful, the food was terrific, and the wine was delicious. Our wedding manager, Abbey was a life saver, we had a long planning meeting where she mapped out our entire wedding day with timelines, floor plans, menus and much more (she has some great insight on planning and the wedding process) then we had a great rehearsal where my wedding party felt really informed on everything. And then the day of the wedding she kept us on our timeline, lined everyone up for ceremony, fed us dinner and drinks, fed my parents and grandparents personally, and so much more! After everything she also packed up our stuff at the end of the night! I would say our wedding was seamless because of her, I was stressed because we didn’t have an outside coordinator but she was so great! We will forever be grateful for her and the Falkner team and we will remember our wedding forever!

I have recently attended a wedding here at Falkner and let me tell you!!!!!! IT WAS MAGICAL!!! I’ve been to many beautiful weddings but this one was so much different, and the reason why was because of the staff! You could tell the manager, I believe her name was Abbey, and her assistant,Kailey, are an absolute dream team. From every detail and every moment, they know what they are doing! Every wedding has their hiccups and usually guests will know, but if anything happened at this one I would never know because their staff handles themselves so professional and precise. The food was hands down the best food I’ve ever had at weddings and the venue itself is gorgeous. But if I was looking to get married again I would choose Falkner because of the wedding managers they have.

My daughter got married here at Falkner Winery a few months ago and we still have family and friends raving about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! At first my daughter didn’t want a big wedding but after meeting Abbey and working with Loretta, she was so excited. Abbey, their on site wedding manager/coordinator was magical! We had researched planners before booking at falkner and I am so glad we didn't hire anyone, Abbey and her team does 10 times more than any planner ever would. She gave a detailed and organized rehearsal for our big group of crazy college kids, set out every decoration to perfection, served the bride and groom allll night long, answered our many emails during the planning process, then packed all our things up. It was so nice to know that everything was just taken care of and I was able to truly enjoy my evening. Loretta, the owner is amazing to work with as well, totally a funny gal! The food and wine were delicious and the ambiance made it feel like I was sitting in an Italian Villa! Overall, the team at Falkner knows how to throw a wedding and we could not be more grateful for the unforgettable evening they created!

First off let me say the venue is absolutely GORGEOUS. It felt like a dream getting to have my wedding here. The food was DELICIOUS, many guests coming up to me throughout the night saying it was the best they’ve had at weddings. They were so accommodating to how I wanted decor set up and set up everything with care. Overall it was a beautiful and unforgettable night to look back on. However, if someone asked me if the day was stress-free that unfortunately wasn’t the case. Abbey (the in-house coordinator) was the sweetest in the planning process and in making sure we had all the details figured out and she made me feel stress-free going into rehearsal but then day of the wedding she was MIA for a big portion of it. When we first arrived I called her multiple times and when she did finally come around it was only for a minute then she would leave with no communication. We were late to start our first look which I expressed was extremely important to me so that we could get a bulk of photos done pre-ceremony. If I didn’t remind her about it, I feel like we would’ve never done it. It seemed like they were short-staffed because she was running around frantically and when I did see her during the reception she was cleaning up all the glasses/dishes which I thought was strange there wasn’t anyone else to help with that. When I see all the other reviews they mention she was making sure the timeline ran smoothing, being very attentive and even getting them drinks throughout the night so it was a bit unfortunate that wasn’t the case for us. It seems as though she left vendors to their own devices to run the timeline but didn’t come to check in that they were actually following it. My bridesmaids took over many times to start certain events like the bouquet toss and I had to use one of my bridesmaids bouquets because no one came to bring me the toss bouquet I brought. Outside vendors were confused where to set up which delayed certain aspects of the night. My aunt who was gracious enough to make all my desserts for the dessert bar said she had to deal with a very rude staff member when she was cleaning up her things at the end of the night as they did not save my cake box and her containers she was told they’d save for her when she was setting up so she can box all her stands. They ended up having to saran wrap my cake topper. It felt that if I did not ask for things on my list to get done they would never have happened, which made it hard to enjoy the moment at times. Overall my guests were unaware of any delays/issues which was great and they all had a wonderful night and I can look back on the night overall happy and would not change having my wedding here. I just wish I had stuck to bringing my own outside coordinator to help the day run more smoothly.

Falkner Winery is beautiful no doubt, with a beautiful vineyard, sunsets, and great wine it’s impossible not to enjoy yourself! However, they should truly be know for its top tier customer service. They’re in house coordinator, Abbey was phenomenal. From the second we met her, she gave my daughter such a peace about where we booked and the planning process. She was always quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls and gave the best advice and recommendations. On the day of, she guided us through the day and was there for every step. She set the reception site up beautifully and made my daughters vision come to life. Her team was professional and well trained and were very helpful as well. Shout out to Kaley, who helped my daughter down the aisle and totally helped calm her nerves. Thanks to Falkner’s dream team, we now have a perfect wedding day to always look back on. We are now wine club members and can’t wait to come back!

All I can say is ABBEY ABBEY ABBEY! My husband and I cannot express our gratitude for this lady enough. She is absolutely incredible! After touring Falkner winery, we immediately fell in love with the ceremony site. The reception area was still being built at the time but we loved the ideas they shared with us. We knew it was going to be a beautiful, new building but the reality completely blew our expectations! Fast forward - wedding weekend! The rehersal walk through with Abbey the day before calmed all our nerves. We had a LARGE wedding party and she answered everyone’s questions and gave everyone direction to keep us at ease for the wedding day. The wedding day was absolutely beautiful and Abbey, the vendors and their management handled the whole day and night perfectly! She was in constant communication to keep us updated and made sure we were hitting our times since she knew dancing was a priority for our group! The scenery and venue were picture perfect. We can’t wait to get our photos back to relive it! 🤍

Stunning venue, Falkner Winery is just beautiful! The layout of the winery is perfect for a wedding. Your ceremony is tucked away beneath the trees creating shade for your guests, and also providing a private area for the wedding. The new reception space has a great flow from cocktail hour into the reception area & dance floor. There is so much natural beauty and nothing can beat that view, especially when the sun sets! Our guests were blown away and had a great time. The only complaint we received is that the bar kept closing down during the reception, which was a bummer for us to hear since we paid extra for liquor. Besides that, we all had a great time and danced the night away! Loretta was easy to work with and very communicative. You can tell how much she loves her job and how she cares for her clients. The food was absolutely amazing! We loved meeting the chef during our tasting. He is extremely talented! We would 100% recommend Falkner Winery!

I got married at Falkner Winery on October 23, 2022 and it was everything I could have wanted as a bride. Loretta (the owner) and Abbey (our wedding coordinator) were amazing. Abbey answered the millions of questions I had leading up to the wedding and was super helpful on the day of. The food and wine are so delicious. The garden area for the reception was exactly what I envisioned and the staff was great. I can’t thank Abbey and Falkner enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams!!

I am a bride from Seattle, WA and had my dream wedding at Falkner Winery September 2022. We toured the venue in fall 2021 while they were still under construction/doing renovations, but my fiancé (now husband!) and I had so much confidence and trust in Loretta (owner) and Abbey (coordinator) after our tour and meeting that we booked, not even seeing the final product. Throughout the planning process, I appreciated the construction updates and their professionalism, expertise, and communication. They have a solid vendor list and good relationships with many local companies, which was helpful as I was not from the Temecula or Southern California area. I had many pleasant telephone conversations with Loretta, and she was quick to respond to my emails and answer all my questions – she even stopped by on my wedding day so we could meet in person! Abbey, the on-site coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely caring, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. She worked with me on my timeline (I had lots of things planned) to make sure everything fit. Our dress rehearsal was very well organized. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was where they were supposed to be. I had absolutely no stress. She also helped set up some of our décor and signage. At the reception, she was very attentive to us, brought us dinner and drinks, and was always checking in on us and our guests. At the end of the night, she helped pack up some of our belongings and memorabilia. She truly went above and beyond. We had our 200+ person ceremony in the garden area. We had an amazing backdrop of the sunset and our guests all commented on how they felt like they were at a wedding in Europe with the beautiful scenery and landscape. The reception area overlooking the winery was gorgeous. A lot of our guests took photos at the heart arch during the sunset cocktail hour and enjoyed tasty hors d'oeuvres. The reception began with our entourage and grand entrance into our first dance. We then enjoyed a buffet dinner and a night full of drinking and dancing. Their wines are delicious, and they are one of the few wineries that have a liquor license, so we were able to have cocktails at our wedding. The staff at Falkner Winery truly care about the bride and groom. It was a magical evening. When looking back, the entire night was perfect, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you Loretta, Abbey & everyone at Falkner Winery!

Our daughter recently got married at Falkner. Everything was perfect - from the venue and it's beautiful views, to the food, the accommodations, and the staff. They will take very good care of your event. Loretta, the owner, knows exactly what is needed to put on a flawless event. She and the wedding coordinator, Abbey, are invaluable. They communicate, they know their stuff. Abbey worked her behind off on the day, but was always nearby with a smile and eager to help in anyway we needed. A little mention of our bartender, Glen. He was the best! Everyone here made our daughters day complete!

My beautiful bride and I got married at Falkner last month and our wedding day was a blast! Our wedding manager, Abby did SO MUCH for us and our guests. We had an extravagant wedding with lots of different components and vendors and she perfectly organized all of them and configured all of the crazy logistics of our day. She really took the stress off of my wife and made the day so much fun for us. She helped with so many things along the way and was extremely hands on day-of. We didn’t know how hard planning a wedding would be but she mad it so fun and easy for us, she has a lot of experience and connections in the industry. She and Loretta were so great to work with through the entire wedding process and we were so grateful to have them both. Loretta has the most beautiful wedding venue, her personality shines through her business and we can’t wait to get our pictures back!

My daughter got married here a few weeks ago and it was the best day ever! I was able to truly relax and enjoy the day with family and friends because they do everything for you. The coordinator, Abbey, is AMAZING at what she does. She does an great rehearsal the day before that really helps the bridal party have a understanding of what the wedding day will look like. She got there early and made sure we were comfortable in the bridal suite and taken care of, then set up all of my daughters decor and things, then was there the rest of the night ensuring everything was on point. She served them dinner, and kept getting them drinks throughout the night, cleaned up all their personal things and packed it up, helped them with the cake cutting, and so on. I have been in so many weddings and have never experienced a coordinator like her! Great job Falkner on having amazing staff that cares so much about their brides and grooms!

I have had the opportunity to work at Falkner Winery Weddings for almost 16 years now, and I can't put into words how wonderful this venue is. Loretta Falkner knows her venue, and has a welcoming demeanor from the beginning of a tour to the wedding day, and beyond. She's aware that this is one of the best days of her couples lives, and makes sure it trickles down to her amazing staff. I love/trust these people and venue so much, my son was married there last year. I could on and on about Loretta, Abbey, Sonya, and the Falkner Weddings team! By the way, if you haven't visited their new patio/tasting room you're missing out. Thank you Everyone at Falkner Winery for doing the best all around, 24/7!

As a professional in the wedding industry and working 100's of events at Falkner Winery over the past 15 years, im here to tell you if you are looking for your wedding venue, look no further! Falkner Winery is an amazing venue, from the ceremony to the reception everything is just perfect. The venue, food, wine, are all GREAT. The owner and event planning team always go above and beyond to ensure every event is a success and always help in any way they can. Thanks to Falkner Winery and staff for all you do.

If you book with Falkner make sure every little detail is in your contract. I came to Loretta in March 2022 wanting to book a wedding for November 2022. 80-100 guest. I told Loretta we were looking for a Sunday date because it was cheaper and we had a lower guest count that didn’t meet Saturday minimum. Loretta gave us a great deal and even told us we could choose from a Saturday date that was left since we were planning our wedding in a few months. We had our wedding in august. Loretta came up with a price based off of 95 adults and 5 children, which was the top of our estimated guest count. She told us the final count was due 18 days prior. 18 days prior I gave her our final count of 85 adults and 10 children. Loretta told me we did not meet our “minimum of 95 adults”. NEVER was a minimum of 95 adults spoke of. She knew our guest count would be 80-100. In the contract it stated our guest count was due 18 days prior. No where did it state a minimum in the contract. Loretta tried to charge us for the remaining 10 adults that would not be coming. I was SHOCKED. 18 days before our wedding. We spoke over the phone and she brought down the cost by up charging us $6 more per adult + tax, so we still ended up paying more. However, we should have NEVER paid more! The contract never stated a minimum. Complete blindside right before our wedding. Then comes our wedding day. The plated food was cold, salmon was dry and the kids were given spaghetti noodles with olive oil and some parmesan. No spaghetti sauce. They were supposed to have chicken fingers and fries. How can you just change the food that would be served and not mention it to us? How embarrassing that on the RSVP they chose chicken fingers and fries but were served noodles with oil. Clearly falkner was going the cheap route on us since we didn’t pay them for 95 adults. We should’ve complained and been reimbursed for those meals, but I didn’t have the energy to fight with them again. Our wedding was beautiful and the winery is amazing, but it’s sad the owner is petty. Just be aware!

Finally getting around t posting this review, my wife and I got married at Falkner Winery a few months ago and our day was absolutely perfect! We loved our wedding manager, Abbey. She was so organized and kept the entire day running smoothly, she even took little keepsake Polaroid pictures of us, gave our guests fans when the weather reports said it was going to be hot, and stocked the mini fridge of my wife’s favorites soda since she doesn’t drink! She was everything to us and I know the day would not have been the same without her. The rest of the staff is also amazing, Loretta the owner is so knowledgeable and has been doing weddings at her venue for over 21 years! The serving staff was efficient and happy to serve all the guests. The bartender was fun and kept the drinks coming! Not many venues have everything, but Falkner Winey is beautiful, has amazing staff, an fun owner, delicious food, and top tier wine. We will return every year for our anniversary.

There are many beautiful wedding venues in wine country but none compare to Falkner. While its beauty is astonishing, Abbey is truly the reason to get married here! From the second we started working with her, everything was perfect. She guided us throughout the weddings process, gave so much great advice, and had so much knowledge to share about the wedding industry in general. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. Day of, she had our wedding running perfectly. She personally checked on every guest to make sure they were enjoying themselves and catered specially to my immediate family and bridal party! We are so happy we chose Falkner for our wedding day, it was all so magical!!!!!!

My wife and I got married at Falkner in late June of 2022 and we had a phenomenal time! From the rose garden ceremony to the reception, everything was breathtaking. Our wedding manager Abbey was knowledgeable, professional and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She was able to help us breakdown the day to ensure everything was taken care of. The food was great, the wine was sensational and everything ran smoothly. We recommend this venue for those looking for beautiful views amd vibes in Temecula wine country.

We have worked with Falkner Winery for many years! This venue by far has the best sunset ceremonies. Kim was an exceptional coordinator and made our mutual client feel welcome and taken care of. Kim was able to navigate guests, and vendors seamlessly, we truly enjoyed working with her!

We had the most perfect wedding at Falkner Winery! It was beautiful & the food was amazing! They provided a day of coordinator, ours was Kim! She went above and beyond and made sure my day was perfect! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take control and make my day what I dreamed of!

I absolutely cannot thank Falkner winery enough! The venue and team is AMAZING!!! Our wedding was perfection and wanted to thank Kim for being an AWESOME coordinator!!! She was always ready to help and was only just a call away. Not only was she there throughout every step, but was great even after the wedding was over! Loretta was soooo wonderful the whole way through. She kept communicating with us and worked with us!! The whole team truly love their brides and it is evident! They want the best thing for your wedding and I so appreciate the candor from all! Thank you also to Abby for all the help and the staff for always being so friendly whenever we were on site! Lastly, thank you to the chef!! Food is as incredible! Guests were raving about it even after the wedding! Thank you Falkner for making our day unforgettable!

Falkner Winery is such a wonderful place to get married! Abbey is the absolute GEM at Falkner Winery!!!! She was the ultimate reason my sister had the wedding of her dreams. This girl runs the show! She was timely, professional, and a miracle worker. She knew how to put the veil in, fixed centerpieces when the bride didn’t love them, brought snacks to us during cocktail hour, hand delivered food/drinks to important family members all while managing her staff. Because of her, the bride and groom were truly able to enjoy their night, 10 stars to the Falkner team! We all can’t wait to return for some wine and another look at the gorgeous views.

Falkner's aesthetic is hard to beat. My husband and I were attracted to the property because of it's gorgeous ceremony space. Beautiful jasmine arches, white rose bushes, and towering shrubbery give their ceremony space an "Alice in Wonderland" vibe. Overall, we were pleased with how our wedding turned out and wouldn't have wanted it to be anywhere besides Falkner. Our guests walked away feeling like they had spent the evening in Italian wine country. This venue comes with a lovely Wedding Coordinator named Kim Thomas, who you get to use 2ish months out from your wedding date. Kim is bubbly, easy to work with, and takes an overall "I got this - Bride/Groom don't worry about a thing" attitude. My baker failed to deliver my cake on the wedding day (Do NOT use Oak Grove Culinary Creations) and Kim shielded me from the whole ordeal until she had a solution. Which, might I add, included personally sourcing a cake from a nearby grocery (I suspect it was from a grocery due to it being 8pm day of) so that my husband and I didn't miss out on the tradition of cake cutting. Yes, I wish my baker had actually fulfilled their obligation, but Kim and her girls made us walk away from the evening not even remembering that there was a cake issue at all. When we asked for dinner service to speed up, she was out there talking to the staff and even delivered entrees herself. When we mentioned that the drinks were too strong, she was immediately behind the bar coaching the staff to correct it. She was our go-to and I can honestly say the "calm" I felt the day of was because of her ability to execute and get shit done. I loved all my vendors (excluding the bakery) and highly recommend them all! Pro Sound DJ - Alex (preferred vendor for Falkner) Photo - Lisa Rhea Photography Video - AK Film Co.
