While the venue fulfilled the basic terms of our contract, our overall experience was extremely disappointing and far from what we expected for our wedding day.
From the planning s...
tage onward, communication was difficult and often felt dismissive. After paying a nonrefundable deposit, we were transferred between owners, and it became apparent that key details previously discussed were not clearly communicated internally. Several inclusions we had already reviewed and agreed upon, including transportation and ceremony décor, had to be revisited and corrected, which added unnecessary stress during what should have been a straightforward planning process.
On the wedding day, the experience itself was uncomfortable from the moment I arrived. Despite arriving within the agreed timeline, I was met with visible frustration rather than a greeting, which set a negative tone immediately. Interactions throughout the day felt rushed and curt, and multiple guests later shared that they felt uncomfortable with how they were spoken to.
There were also multiple coordination issues that directly affected the experience. Guests were transported to the venue early and instructed to wait in a parking area for 25 minutes instead of being welcomed into the space. Music cues during the ceremony were mishandled, including the wrong recessional song being played when it had been very clearly labeled. Décor we paid extra for appeared visibly stained. Later, while we still had time remaining and guests were actively using the space, chairs were stacked and cleared, forcing guests to retrieve their belongings mid-event. It was disappointing and embarrassing to hear our guests’ feedback about their experience after the ceremony.
The ceremony coordinator, Yoko, was kind and supportive, and the property itself is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, the execution and service did not match the setting. The stress leading up to the wedding and the wedding itself outweighed anything the aesthetic offered to our day.
Knowing what I know now, I would not have chosen this venue. I’m sharing this as an honest reflection of our experience.
We had booked Kaimea Estate for our October 2025 wedding and it was absolutely perfect! The estate is stunning - gorgeous views, beautiful building, cozy interior, perfectly organi...
zed setups. We had such a great experience from start to finish. Mirasol and Justin have put together an amazing team of professionals who made our intimate (30 person) wedding so extremely special. It's been almost a month after our wedding and our guests are still gushing about the event.
We recently had our August wedding at Kaimea Estates, and we could not recommend it more. This is the venue for you if you are looking for something a little different - if you’re ...
looking for quiet, inclusive, intimate, stunning, and full of just close friends and family, this is the place for you (as it was for us). Justin and Marisol were wonderful, so accommodating, helpful, and very communicative. Even during our rehearsal and wedding when things were a bit chaotic and poorly managed by our planner, Justin and Marisol went out of their way to looked for ways to help and support us.
Overall, Kaimea is stunning and makes a perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding. I’m almost tempted to say you would likely never find another venue like this - we and our guests felt like our wedding was truly a reflection of us, rather than a show, and we would do it again every time.
Beautiful venue, horrible organization and management. ALOT of things went wrong on my wedding day, which was caused mostly by the owners. My wedding planner had to deal with the i...
ssues and I can’t imagine how worse it could have gone if my wedding planner was incompetent. But luckily, my wedding planner Sunny Cho handled things gracefully. It was bad enough that I had to debrief with my friends and family, which they all complained about the owners in unison. I have a long list of issues which saddens me that they took away ALOT from my experience. Not sure if it’s worth the money to book this venue. Overall, I only recommend this venue if you care only about aesthetic photos.
