Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings

gone more perfectly. From the planning meetings months out, to the rehearsal, to the day of, the team at Galway Downs proved to us we made the right decision. Their communication was timely, professional, and made planning our big day easy. We had a last minute change of staffing for our wedding day; our coordinator Gianna who we had just met the day prior at rehearsal, helped ease our minds. Although some details needed to be clarified, she was able to execute them with no problem. Gianna made for a smooth and seamless wedding day, ensuring we kept on time and that no details were missed. Her kindness and gentle confidence the day of our wedding made us feel like royalty! We also have to recognize Makenna who we had the pleasure of working with for two planning meetings. She was kind, encouraging, flexible, and prepared. Makenna helped me calm my nerves the day of by offering me a glass of champagne and also golf-carted my father and I from the bridal suite to the ceremony. Makenna and Gianna made me feel beautiful, confident, and calm prior to walking down the aisle and Makenna saved me by keeping tic-tacs on hand! We also have to give praise to the banquet staff, banquet captain, and bartenders who were professional, friendly, communicative, and efficient. We received a lovely card from the staff and another from Gianna (with a framed photo from our first look!) congratulating us which was a thoughtful touch. Last but definitely not least was our spectacular DJ experience with Austin. Although we curated our own playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Austin executed them to a tee and added his own flair which was appreciated. He was so genuine, kind, helpful, and fun to work with! Austin noticed we didn’t hire a videographer and made us two Reels personalized with our first dance song and wedding reception song at no cost. These are already so cherished and are beautiful memories that we get to keep forever. At the end of the night it felt like we were old friends with Austin and we are so grateful to have worked with him! One small issue we came across that had nothing to do with the lovely staff at Galway Downs, was the grounds. Our wedding was a beautiful, clear blue sky, sun shining day. Temecula hadn't seen rain likely in months, yet the grass at the ceremony site was muddy. My dress got unfortunately mud stained during pre-ceremony photos. It seemed like the mud was due to overwatering. Nonetheless, a little mud couldn't have brought us down on the most special day of our lives, and overall the rest of the stunning grounds both inside and out, and staff more then made up for it. Temecula and Galway Downs will now and forever hold a special place in our hearts-thank you so much for making our day the best yet!

atures around the property. It provided the perfect setting for our special day. What truly set Galway apart was their amazing team of coordinators and staff. From the very beginning, Gianna, Makenna, and Michael were professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our vision come to life. On the day of the wedding, they handled everything seamlessly, ensuring every detail was perfect and allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration without stress. Gianna accommodated my last minute detail requests, and Makenna soothed me as she brought me and my dad down to the beginning of the aisle. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the ambiance, food, service, and overall flow of the day. Thank you to our wonderful DJ Austin everyone enjoyed their time at the wedding because he personalized our music as the event went on. It was clear that the staff take great pride in creating memorable experiences. If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking views and an incredible team to support you, I highly recommend Galway Downs. Thank you for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

coordinator Devin was an absolute sweetheart and she made my day run so smoothly. I highly, highly recommend this venue!

day the best. Everything was so simple for us that we really got to enjoy our day.

with both their vendors and ours so we didn’t have to worry at all. Our guests had a great time and enjoyed the food. Everything was perfect thanks to the Galway team!

everything ran smoothly! There wasn’t any issues the entire day and the entire team did such a fantastic job. I would highly recommend to any couple looking to get married here!

rough Wedgewood Weddings is that it's all-inclusive, which is a big help when you're planning a wedding in a quicker turnaround time. I got engaged at the beginning of October and we booked our wedding for early February. Them having the recommended vendors like the florist, DJ, baker, etc. was a huge help for us. And they were all wonderful! Some key callouts: *The food was really yummy (especially the mac n' cheese croquettes and potsticker appetizers and the panko chicken and cheese tortellini!). We went with the buffet option, which was all delicious, but looking back, we wouldn't pay the upcharge for the prime rib. It tasted more like a roast, and while it was okay, it just wasn't worth paying extra for. We also had a few vegan guests and they provided a special meal for them, which they said was delicious! Really appreciated. *Working with Aubree, our coordinator, was a dream. She was the one we initially toured with and we hit it off so well we asked if she would coordinate our rehearsal and wedding, as well. Even though our rehearsal and wedding day fell on her days off, she committed to being there for both and helped us every step of the way—including checking in throughout the day and bustling my dress for me with my matron of honor. *The bridal suite was a huge selling point for us. Being able to get in and set up as early as 9:00 a.m. prevented us from having to get a nearby hotel or house just for getting ready. It was so spacious and there was plenty of room for the hair and makeup artists, all the bridesmaids and family, lots of food and snacks, the photographers and videographers, etc. *One thing I'd like to note to the venue that I think would be a beneficial addition is to improve the general sandy grounds (it was muddy when it rained) and add a stone walkway, ramp, etc. to the ceremony area. Every time we went to tour the space, the grassy ceremony area was always soft and damp—even if it hadn't been raining. So even if the weather is perfect on your wedding day and has been perfect for like a week before, the grounds still remain damp for some reason. I don't know if this is because they water so often or what. But after spending thousands on your wedding dress, you don't really want to worry about dragging your train through the mud or having your heels sinking into the ground. I got married on a day that was sandwiched between rainy days. I decided to get married outside and everything ended up being okay, but it would've given me much more peace of mind if they had a walkway or pathway built onto the aisle to prevent this. They have stone on the ground at the "altar" location, so I think extending this into the aisle or adding some low profile wood planks would be really smart and give all brides better peace of mind! *Austin, the DJ, was excellent. The cake from Bo Cakes was delicious. Our banquet captain, DJ, was also wonderful. The plan B setup inside the reception space in case it rains is still so beautiful! Overall thoughts: Yes, it's expensive, but it's also a wedding and weddings are expensive. You might as well pick a venue like Galway through Wedgewood that offers all-inclusive options and does set up, tear down, etc. Really happy I chose Galway as my wedding venue!

we were looking for venues we ventured out to this spot in Temecula, and after meeting with the planning team and walking the grounds, we knew this was our venue. They allow you to have all of the grounds to yourselves on your wedding day, there are suites for both the bride & groom, lodgings are close by for a venue that is somewhat of a destination wedding, and they have some of the best vendors to offer just next door!

nd worked with our budget well. The venue itself is beautiful with lots of pretty areas that made for really lovely photos. We also really liked all the vendors that were recommended by Wedgewood but appreciated the option to choose outside vendors (for most things) if desired. I can honestly say there isn’t anything I would change about the whole planning process or the day itself it was all really seamless.

l with a light breeze. The people we worked with were amazing. They gave us a notebook full of everything we needed to plan the wedding. They were always available to call if we had any questions or changes. We had Ashley as our day-of coordinator and she was spectacular. Everything was set up perfectly and she’s very kind and down to earth. And even helped me calm my nerves! The food was delicious. And our bakery was fantastic. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for more.

Galway were fantastic, especially Ashley, Tiffany, Austin, DJ and the bar staff, I'm sorry I don't remember their names, but our guests were raving about their amazing customer service and fantastic drinks. Ashley, Tiffany, Austin and DJ were the kindest, most genuine and professional people we have ever worked with,they worked sooo hard to make our day perfect. They truly felt like friends by the end of our wedding planning journey, they made everything such a breeze and truly made us feel so beyond special and important. Other wedding venues will often treat you like a number, but with Galway that is by far not the case, they make you feel like the most important bride and groom through your entire wedding planning journey.  The venue is absolutely stunning, the bridal and groom suites are top notch, the food and drinks were fantastic. Our wedding guests still to this day are saying "it was the best wedding" they have ever attended.  We wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day! It was absolutely perfect, and I thank Galway and all their vendors for making it so special. Thanks to Galways vendors it made the extra details a breeze to plan!  We used Soiree for our stunning florals and were so blown away by the quality and their customer service. Bo cakes was also fantastic in every way! Madam Palooza was also a dream and brought our wedding up a notch! There are multiple packages and options to fit your budget and to make it the perfect day for you and your soon to be husband or wife. 100 out of 10!!! We love Galway and we are forever grateful for the beautiful wedding they provided us!! 

an answer. Even though, I was sad because I couldn’t have it outside due to rain they made the inside of the barn everything and more than I could’ve ever imagined!
