reception area. Jen, Mel, and Robert were very on top of things and helped make sure everything ran smoothly and tasted delicious. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd been to.

l flow. Jen and her team are very organized and accommodating, it was a pleasure working with them! The setting itself is magical and our guests could not stop commenting on our much they loved the venue! I loved how easy and convenient everything was with this venue. They have so many amazing rentals you can use which helps to limit the amount of things you need to bring yourself. The team and our day of coordinator, Erin, made the day of run so smoothly, it was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! My family and I stayed in the house on the property the night before the wedding, which was so fun and nice! I was then able to get ready there the day of the wedding, which I highly suggest doing! It was fun to spend the day there and see everything getting set up! I can’t say enough about how happy we are with everything and I confidently recommend Maravilla Gardens, you won’t be disappointed :)

special day....we rented the MG House for our immediate Family and our daughter got ready for her Big Day in the house....the entire Staff was so friendly, efficient and they know what they are doing to assist in every aspect of your Wedding Planning! We were all thrilled with our experience and highly recommend you consider this Magically setting ....we are so grateful we did!

d us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Erin, our coordinator, was a dream to work with and created the wedding exactly to how I envisioned! They are super easy to work with, very organized and that takes so much stress out from all the crazy details that go into the day. If you are looking for a perfect venue that makes you feel like you're in Tuscany, have your wedding here! You won't regret it!

website I knew this location was everything that I was looking for and more. We quickly contacted them and booked a site tour. The in person visit was even more beautiful and I was constantly in awe of the location and the services that they offered. A few days after our visit we booked our date. Jen was great to work with and boy does she know her stuff! Each meeting was so productive and I left feeling more comfortable each time. So many people kept asking me if I was stressed out planning a wedding and working with Jen and her team helped make the planning process a lot easier. I loved how Maravilla Gardens provides almost everything you need. We loved working with their caterer, Command Performance Catering, our coordinator Mel was beyond amazing and we also ordered most of our rentals through MVG which was so convenient. All of our guest could not stop talking about how beautiful the location was and how seamless the day was. We truly had the best day ever and loved everything about our wedding day. We can’t thank Jen and her team enough for everything they did. Everything about Maravilla Gardens was truly perfect for our wedding.

eady right here in Ventura County! Beautiful grounds with lots of good photo spots, and Jen has a whole barn full of awesome decor and furniture rentals to add the perfect touch to your wedding day. Erin, one of the on-site wedding coordinators, was so organized and made it very easy to create a seamless wedding-day schedule. She kept everything running on time and according to plan! Our guests kept commenting on what a beautiful venue we had chosen. It was a dream day from start to finish!

e are so many beautiful options for venues, especially in this area. This venue was the most eye appealing to me, but it went beyond just the looks of the venue. There is much planning and natural stress that comes with getting married, but Maravilla Gardens and their staff relieve so much of it and truly made the process smoother than I could have ever asked for! They definitely know what they are doing and I appreciated their expertise in helping in all areas of my wedding. I was given resources to help make sure I had each aspect planned in a timely manner, suggestions of other vendors that had the same passion and expertise as Maravilla did, and my coordinator, Erin, is a saint! I had several family members and friends tell me how much they loved our wedding, not only because of us, but because of the venue. They raved about how beautiful the property was and how perfectly the day flowed (thanks to the Maravilla team). I am sure people say this to be nice, but multiple people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I truly believe that credit goes to Maravilla Gardens and Erin.

level: immaculate landscaping, beautiful flowers, perfect lighting, and numerous decor options. But more than appearances, the staff were incredible. Jen Loller and her husband run the place like a well-oiled machine, and their wedding coordinators (each wedding gets their own--no need to hire a wedding planner) are incredible (thanks Carolyn!). On our wedding day, as the bride I had zero stress and got to fully enjoy being present in the day thanks to their high levels of organization in coordinating the minute details of the schedule, caterer, DJ, and other vendors. The owners and staff run their venue with kindness and integrity, and it was a joy to plan such an important day with wonderful, down-to-earth people. To this day, many of our friends & family say that our wedding at Maravilla was the best wedding they've been to! I would recommend Maravilla to anyone in a heartbeat!

e barn makes a perfect backdrop for those brides who want that rustic backwoods wedding, while the garden offers an enchanting vintage, easy-beauty feel. We fell in love. The staff works incredibly hard to make your day about you. You don't feel like an item on an assembly line. Maravilla is extremely organized and your participation is key. They have an online planning site that is very user friendly and allows their vendors & staff to communicate to ensure everyone is on the same page. Planning a wedding takes time and effort. I saw our big day unfold even better than I had imagined. A party planner myself, I put so much heart and soul into all of our little details. Maravilla's staff brought them to life. The venue is worth every penny. Our wedding was nearly two months ago and we still have people talking about how beautiful our day was. It's a gem of a location. The staff cares. Do your memories a favor and mark a day on Maravilla's calendar. Xoxo

ources provided by Maravilla Gardens, the process went smoother than we could have ever expected! Jen, our coordinator Heidi, and the catering manager, Robert, all did an exceptional job answering our numerous questions and put so much hard work and thought into making our wedding special. All our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, as well as how all the MG staff and vendors were so wonderful. Everyone took ownership of their role in our wedding and went out of their way to make things run smoothly. We truly felt like we were working with our closest friends and are incredibly grateful to Maravilla Gardens for helping make our wedding an unforgettable event!

always manicured to a 10+, and convenient to boot! Each area (ceremony, cocktail and reception) is unique and provides your guests with a new "wow" experience, but it is incredibly cohesive and flows together beautifully at the same time. Jen and her team literally make this a simple and easy process (I know, said no bride ever, right??) and you can personalize things to your hearts content if you wish, or you can enjoy the beauty of the venue all on its own. Their list of rentals is outstanding, but you don't need anything if you want to keep things simple. Attention to detail is Maravilla's strong suit, and everyone is very responsive and timely in all communications...also there are NO surprises when it comes to expectations and costs...no one likes a surprise on their wedding day (or on their bill)...and everything is done with a giant smile and a hug! Their vendor catering partner, CPC, is off the charts, (I was initially mildly concerned about being "locked in" to a catering company, but fear not, their food is delicious and they are more than happy to work with all of your requests. My husband and I are total foodies, as our the majority of our guests, and everyone was blown away!). Our big day was stunning and perfect, and all of our guests were treated like family! I really can't say enough good things...we looked at several outdoor venues, from San Diego to San Francisco, and there is not a day that goes by that we are not absolutely delighted that we chose Maravilla. Amazing venue, off the charts service, and a fantastic value (without looking like a "value"). A million THANK YOU's for our favorite day. S +S

was a family owned business and fell in love with its beauty both on site and with the backdrop of the mountains. We also thought it was neat that we could rent items (ie: barn door and LOVE sign were some of our favorites). In doing a travel theme for our wedding we came to Jen with the thought of having our small cake along with an airplane piñata displayed somewhere around a tree. She came up with a fantastic idea of hanging the cake and then had her husband make a cake swing for us! During our wedding, we had the wonderfully talented Erin working with us. Her calm demeanor and genuine smile made the night run smoothly and put us at ease that everything was going to plan throughout the day/night. We also want to thank Rob with Command Performance Catering for the amazing food and dining experience. I would also highly suggest going with DJ’s and florists off Maravilla’s recommended list as it lowers the stress level because they know the venue and staff. We had Henry from VOX DJ’s and Janet from Greenwich Florist. We would give them both 5 stars! Throughout the wedding and at the brunch the day after, we got many comments such as, “This is the best wedding I have ever been too!” I would like to take some of that credit, however, the majority of the credit goes to the Maravilla Gardens staff, their expertise and their love for weddings. Maravilla Gardens, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making our wedding day, the most MAGICAL day ever! We truly had the best time and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” Shane and Michelle

they had ever been to (even the married ones;)

ncredible and I could not have imagined a better wedding day!

d after roaming the grounds with the lovely Jo and seeing how well it photographs. And with its Camarillo location, we had no worries of weather impeding our celebration. This is a gardens surrounding a private residence, thus the entire wedding is outdoors. Our July wedding turned out beautifully. It was a bit warm during the ceremony, but afterwards it died down enough to be very comfortable. Our coordinator Carolyn and the Maravilla staff were amazing to work with through the entire process. No detail that we requested or decoration that we supplied went unnoticed by their staff and everything was artfully prepared. Their caterer, Command Performance Catering (CPC) was amazing. They saw to it that our guests were well cared for and they visited us several times through the night to make sure we had all we wanted. Thank you Robert! Also important was that there was a space for the guys and the girls to get ready. We chose to work with several of Maravilla's preferred vendors and would highly suggest that any couple getting married here look into them as well. Because choosing vendors that respected us as people and not just a dollar sign became very apparent to us early in the wedding process, we clicked with many of their suggested vendors. Maravilla Gardens is not cheap, but it is so worth the price. This might have been because we chose the most expensive day of the week (Saturday), a slightly more expensive dinner option, and included several of their rentals. When it came down to it, our wedding ran like clockwork, we didn't learn of any snafus during that night, and we had the time of our lives for that one night. I know our bridal party and families had a great time also. Guests have called my parents to tell them what a fun time they had and how the setting was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about Maravilla Gardens.

as beautiful rentals. The caterer was fantastic. The setting is exquisite.

wers and landscaping are impeccably maintained and the mountain views are breathtaking. The whole environment is so serene and romantic. Our guests were truly amazed by the beauty and uniqueness of the venue. Jen is so warm, helpful, and patient with you every step of the way. And, she has a great sense of humor, which is awesome when you are planning a wedding. Erin, our coordinator, was also amazing! She had everything laid out and organized to a T, so that everything on the day went smoothly and I did not have to worry about anything, which I loved... We are head over heels in love with these ladies :) In general, everyone is so easy and pleasant to work with and they make you feel like your wedding is special. We literally had everyone coming up to us and saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. People were enjoying the venue and had a total blast. Maravilla also has a bunch of beautiful vintage rentals, which makes it easy to add those little touches that make your wedding unique and stylish. They require you to use their caterer- command performance- and we were also very happy with the service and food they provided. We also got many comments on how great the food was. And they went above and beyond in order to give us our dream menu. They are really flexible to work with and displayed everything elegantly. The greatest thing about Maravilla Gardens is that all around, they are wedding pros. You could not be in better hands, and it is the ideal situation for the the couple who wants a private estate/ garden wedding feel, but doesn't want to worry about bringing in kitchens, bathrooms, tables, electricity, etc.. You just tell Jen what you want and they do all the leg work for you! My husband and I can honestly say that our wedding was the best day of our lives. Leaving in the limo at the end of the night, we were sad because we didn't want to leave this magical place. The sparkler exit, was a highlight of the evening. I can not think of anything to critique because it was just so perfect, which is exactly how your wedding day should feel.

ent out of their way to help make our day wonderful. And we received numerous comments from our guests that it was the best food they had ever had at at wedding...we couldn't have agreed more. We were thrilled to have had our wedding at Maravilla Gardens and would highly recommend it!

we knew immediately that this was the perfect place. Jo, the owner, was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process, and Erin, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute marvel. Everything was set up and ready to go and the entire day went off without a hitch, in great part due to Erin's amazing coordination skills! The site itself is absolutely beautiful, with fields and mountains as a backdrop and, of course, flowers everywhere. The market lights were an invaluable addition, especially for our fall wedding when it grew dark right around dinner time. We also ended up getting several other add-ons in addition to the market lights, which did rack up the price some, but overall it was extremely affordable and oh so worth it. There are great photo spots all around, especially in front of the barn and out in the fields behind the property. We really felt taken care of; and everything combined perfectly to make it an absolutely magical night.

photo booth and open space to talk. Pictures are amazing by the barn, corn fields, wild flowers throughout the garden, etc. I wouldnt trade Maravilla for anywhere else.

eat to work with and had wonderful ideas. The grounds were gorgeous!!! I loved the unique flowers in the garden, the market lights, and most of all the barn! Tons of great photo spots!!

d combined everything we liked about the previous places we had seen. There are rolling hills and fields in the background that give it that vineyard feel, there's a rustic barn on the property great for pictures and the grounds were beautifully landscaped giving it a garden feel. It's completely private - you are the only wedding on the property and the venue just had this peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that made us forget all about our wedding stress. Our guests said it was the most beautiful and unique wedding they have ever been to. It's also easy to get to - right off the Santa Rosa Road exit off the 101. We and many of our guests live in Los Angeles, so some guests just drove up for the wedding and drove home afterwards - about an hour drive. But there are many hotels in the area - Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village - so it's also easy to find accommodations. (All of my guests stayed at the Hyatt in Westlake Village, about 20 minutes from the venue) The staff is also great - very organized, professional and nice. We met with Jo, the owner, several times and felt very confident in our decision after meeting with her. And our day-of coordinator, Erin, was outstanding. She's extremely organized and makes sure your wedding flows perfectly, without a hitch. She also takes the time to make sure all your details are covered and really seems invested in your big day. She went above and beyond. We also found the packages to be very affordable, especially in comparison to some of the vineyards we were looking at. If we had one complaint it would be the upgrades. Several of the things we were interested in and felt like we needed - like the shade canopy, ceremony table and heat lamps were all additional charges. We chose to have more upgrades and add-ons then was probably necessary but it all adds up. But since the actual wedding package was less than we had budgeted, we still remained under budget even with all the upgrades. But just keep in mind you'll have some additional charges if you want your wedding to look like the ones in the pictures on the site. But overall, I give it an enthusiastic 5-star rating. Our wedding was unbelievable and it was truly a day that we, our family and friends will never forget.

am come true, and Jo and Tony (her husband) are constantly updating, sprucing up, and improving them. The bridal cottage is amazing. My girls and I loved getting ready there. The reception at night was stunning. Yes, you have to be out of there at 10. However, there's an awesome bistro down the road called Safire that will stay open til 2 for you. We had the place to ourselves. We want to live at Maravilla!

oordinator Erin Boscovich, to the catering company that comes with the venue were spectacular. They made sure I was happy with everything and everything I wanted came true. They set you up with a day-of coordinator as part of your package who works with you starting about 1 1/2 months before your wedding. She makes sure she fully understands everything you want for your big day. She contacts all your vendors and coordinates with them. The day of, I didn't have to worry about anything. Even the security person they have to ensure everything goes well was super nice and polite to all the guests and helped them when they were looking for something. I definitely recommend this venue.

t sure what we were looking for until we found Maravilla Gardens. Walking around the grounds Tommy and I could tell this was the place. We felt so much love and positive energy all around us. With the gorgeous backdrop of the setting sun, we walked onto the dance floor for our first dance as a married couple. I looked around and took it all in. It was so beautiful and romantic. The setting had so much character. It was exactly what we wanted. The most memorable part of the day was being able to have our “Furry Attendant”, Pony Boy, walk down the aisle during our ceremony.

We had so many compliments not only from our guests, but from our other vendors as well! That's why we'll have our 5 year anniversary party there, just to experience it all over again!

ation only has one wedding per day. It is a family house/business so they are directly involved and very friendly/helpful! The flowers and grounds were lovely and always in perfect conditions. They hosted a tasting event to taste food and see all the extra rentals you can purchase....lots of fun!;They cut everything at 10pm so as the night goes fast if you want longer dance time choose a site with later times.
