Inn At Churon Winery

king at google maps. It’s an all inclusive venue including: ceremony, reception, food, wine/beer,, officiant, flowers, DJ, cake, and wedding coordinator. We booked about a year in advance. Over the course of a year, the venue/hotel made some major updates. It looks like a completely different venue in a good way! The grounds are amazing with Fantastic views. We got so many compliments as to how pretty it was. Also a major plus, is that because it’s a bed and breakfast, you can make the entire place about your wedding if you get your guests to book there. They will hold all the rooms for you til about a month before the wedding. That was a major selling point for us and we did book all the rooms. Karrie is the most amazing coordinator on earth. Within hours of meeting her she provided tons of information and was a true professional. She was always prompt answering emails, and worked tirelessly the day of the wedding. She set things up, took things down, coordinated with vendors. She even hunted my bouquet down in the vines when I accidentally left it there during photos. She went above and beyond. She was also always nice and courteous to work with. The food was delicious. We opted for a buffet and it all tasted fantastic. Everyone raved about our food! Working with the vendors was a breeze and Karrie did a great job coordinating with them, which left little work for me to do. For reference I worked with: Anthony David Photography, Cathy’s Cakes, Total Quality Music (DJ), and Murrieta VIP Florist. I was very pleased with all the vendors and would recommend them. As I said the all inclusive was incredible. Keep in mind that to get everything you want, you might have to pay extra. Photography is only 5 hours, so you might want to pay extra for more hours, the venue provided $750 for flowers, so I paid a little more to get what I wanted. I felt all the vendors were reasonably priced. The extras I paid weren’t expensive (this is a wedding after all, and the word makes prices inflate) and again it wasn’t necessary, I just wanted more. So in conclusion, I have to thank Churon and Karrie for providing me with the most amazing wedding ever. Churon is a beautiful place to get married, and Karrie is amazing!!

on to help coordinate our essentials. Churon's event planner arranged a pastor, photographer and florist, all of which could not have been any better. They also referred us to a great hair and makeup artist, AlyRose Beauty who I was also so happy and grateful for. We were also thrilled with our wedding suite which was over the top! Our day was intimate, special and perfect in every way for us. I am so thankful for Churon's understanding of our vision and their efforts and experience in the coordination. I highly recommend this venue for either a large size or private wedding. Thank you Churon!

hing we dreamed it would be. Meilee was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to answer our questions and provide us with the support we needed to make informed decisions. She even took the time to rehearse with us before the big day, which helped us feel more confident and prepared. On the day of the wedding, Meilee was an absolute rockstar. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. She provided us with invaluable advice and guidance, and we couldn't have done it without her. The Churon team as a whole was incredibly friendly and considerate throughout the entire process. Pauline, one of the servers, even saved us a small wedding cake as breakfast in the morning, which was a lovely surprise. Overall, we recommend Meilee and the Churon Winery team. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for a beautiful and supportive wedding venue, look no further than Churon Winery.

that offered an indoor option in case of inclement weather. We planned the entire wedding from out of state and Churon made it easy. Meilee was amazing to work with - communicative, responsive, flexible, helpful, kind, accommodating, and on and on. I could not have asked for a better venue coordinator to work with. Our wedding day ended up being cold and rainy (rare in Temecula) and everyone worked hard to make sure our day was beautiful despite the weather. Enrique (the chef) and his staff went above and beyond. The food and service were beyond expectations in every way. The wines were of course fabulous. And we met the most amazing vendors through Churon, especially our photographer, bakery, and florist. The venue itself is gorgeous, but working with everyone there is what really made our day - every need and want was met and we felt like our event was as important to Churon as it was to us.

rom beginning to end, the coordination was prompt and clear. We were able to have our package adjusted to our needs since our wedding was ~20 people. Very accommodating to our guest as well. Not a single complaint from anyone. Highly recommend visiting and selecting this wedding venue.

actly what we wanted. The food was amazing, the chef was so nice and welcoming. The wedding coordinator, which was included in our package, was also very nice, helped with a lot of the decorating and made sure everything was how I wanted on the day of. The bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious. The groom's and groomsmen's space is also very spacious. Considering the circumstance and short notice, overall it was a success. A few small hiccups but overall, I highly recommend this place. It was absolutely beautiful! All our guests loved the venue and we got some amazing pictures!! The only things I did not like was that the stairs had a highlighter yellow color on them, which I understand is for safety but it took away from the overall look. Also, our wedding was in November so it was a little cold, I felt heaters should be complimentary and included but we had to pay for each one and order them in advance, which was hard to decide but overall, really happy with everything and I would highly recommend!

e from out of town and could not get over the hotel rooms. They also raved over and over about how nice everyone is there and the food by Enrique and Paola. We enjoyed working with all the staff there especially Meilee and Angela. This was the most amazing day and they made it so easy and simple. My cousin who did our photography said it was the most beautiful photos she’s ever taken and wants to come back to do more winery weddings. We are so lucky we found the Churon. We truly love and adore everyone there and will keep going back.

ape vines, hot air balloons in the distance (mornings), and old European charm. Our wedding was in Nov. During our late afternoon/evening wedding, our backdrop was a beautiful cotton-candy orange/pink sunset, with greenery still on the vines. Here is where I believe Churon’s location stands out: the direction in which Churon faces and its position relative to the hills are key. ON-SITE FEATURES While the venue has the capacity to accommodate more, it was perfectly sized (with great open space around the grassy area and fountain) for our ~115 person event. Ample parking directly surrounding the back of the venue; overflow parking also available. Churon has ~20 rooms at their inn, each individually decorated. Room block with the packages is very reasonable. Good variety for prep and cocktail hour photo shoots. I took comfort in knowing that there are backup options at Churon in case of inclement weather. FOOD/CATERING Churon also has an on-site kitchen with expert staff who take pride in their work and food— they are trusted service, even for adjacent locations, as well. Churon catering addressed each dietary restriction. They served an excellent pre-ceremony and toasting champagne. EVENTS CONSULTATION & SERVICE Aside from the stunning location, the events consultation and service was my favorite part of this venue. The team is a mighty and experienced one. Meilee was a wonderfully thoughtful contact, with consistent fast turnaround on our requests and clear correspondence with our vendors. Churon offers (2) packages— the standard and the platinum; open bar of wine and beer is included in both packages. Churon also offers a few small things for borrowing as needed— a few easels, table number signs, card box, etc. Finally, I’d like to highlight the spaces for getting ready at Churon. Our bridespeople got ready in the bridal suite. The groomsmen got ready in Churon’s large conference room, which also has its own bar area, as well as couches and games (ping pong/pool table, chess, etc). This space was another feature that distinguished Churon from other venues in the vicinity. You’ll be glad you got a dedicated space for both the bride and groom! TIPS — Ask if Churon is able to open their lobby for small after-hours time with limited guests. Temecula quiet hours begin at 10pm, so your event will need to wrap by then. Thankfully, Churon kept their lobby open for us for an intimate smaller after-gathering until 11pm. We sat on the couches by the fireplace and caught up with some guests we didn’t get a chance to speak with as much during the wedding. We’ll treasure this memory! — Ask about your needs. The Churon team is experienced and creative. — Book and stay at the bridal suite on the first floor for the night prior to your event. The bridal suite during the night of your event is included (!) in your wedding package, but booking the night prior will ease your logistics and minimize morning setup time for you. FINAL THOUGHTS We are so grateful for the peace of mind that came with Churon and working with Meilee; they gracefully accommodated many of our last-second needs. We would recommend Churon to anyone who is looking for a charming and quaint venue with a wonderful workhorse team to match.

and has an incredible view of the Temecula wine country. The reception area is right by the ceremony space which was great for our guests. The outside reception space was beautiful. We needed very little in terms of flowers, because we were able to take advantage of the winery's natural beauty. The lighting was beautiful and gave off a very romantic vibe once the sunset. It was a cold night and the winery was able to set up heaters for us which made the reception the perfect temp. The staff go above and beyond for you. Meilee, Angela, and Brittany THANK YOU SO MUCH. The staff was so attentive and ensured every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were great with check ins and keeping us on track. Every single guest that stayed at the Inn after the wedding commented on how wonderful the staff was. They really went above and beyond to make our day special. We will continue to visit and stay at the winery for many years to come because of their professionalism (not to mention the wine is delicious). The food was INCREDIBLE. A lot of wedding food can taste bland and dry, but not here. The chef took time with us during our tasting to provide a ton of options before we made a decision. The food came out perfect. I can't even count how many compliments we got from our guests on how delicious and fresh the food tasted. It was buffet style but they still provided staff to help fill the plates and keep the line moving. Everyone got their food very quickly. We ended up getting the recommended coordinator from them and Vanessa if you're reading this thank you for everything. Vanessa sat with us about a month in advanced and went through our whole day and typed up a whole plan. She kept the day on track and on time and it was perfect. No issues or delays at all. Our day would not have been what it was without Vanessa so thank you so much! All in all I can't recommend this venue enough. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was, how great the food and wine were, and how professional the staff were. It really was the most beautiful day and would couldn't be more grateful that we chose Inn by Churon as our venue. Thank you for everything!

ger Michele was rude, unforgiving, and stubborn on having it inside, raising her voice to my bridesmaid who was trying to coordinate a way to make it work outside. We hoped we would at least get some of the heater rental payment back (they own them), but she was insistent on charging us for a service we didn't use. The weather sucked, yes, but what bothered us more was her attitude. We chose this site for the view (ruined), and the wine (also ruined). Two weeks before the wedding we are meeting to discuss final details and Michele informs us that they had sold out of three of our chosen six wines. What REALLY bothered us, was two of the wines were for the table . We meticulously chose Malbec to go with our dinner, and the white for our family's preferences. These were table exclusive, meaning we needed 11 bottles. Despite having paid in full at this point, the winery did not set aside these wines, and we had to choose new ones. My heart set on the Malbec and having told everyone about how great it was, to say I was disappointed is an extreme understatement. The replacement wines were ok, nothing to brag about or to ever drink again. Severely disappointed at this blatant negligence in planning. Finally, the coordinator and staff showed a vast amount of unprofessionalism when 10 pm rolled around, signaling the end of the reception. They shut off the lights, pulled chairs from our elderly guests, and were blantaly rude to anyone still seated. What bothers me most about this, is that we were guests in the hotel, mingling in the lobby. Not loiterers. We had booked nearly the whole hotel, but we aren't allowed to stay in the lobby to mingle with other hotel guests? The venue was nice but I would never work with Michele again.

em ideas. Also the staff took away our cake before my husband and I could eat it!

de is the best!!!
