We cannot say enough amazing things about Marbella Country Club and Kaile and her team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make our entire wedding experience se...
amless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable. Every step of the way, they were professional, organized, and so accommodating to our needs both big and small.
Kaile’s communication, attention to detail, and warm presence made us feel supported throughout the whole process. Her team worked beautifully behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, and on the wedding day itself, they executed every detail perfectly. We felt so cared for and could fully relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in the best hands.
Even now, a year later, we are still raving about our wedding day. Marbella was the most stunning setting, the service was incredible, and Kaile’s team genuinely made our dream day come to life. We would choose Marbella again in a heartbeat!
If you’re considering this venue, look no further. You will be so happy you chose Marbella and the amazing team behind it.

I recently hosted my wedding at Marbella in San Juan Capistrano, and I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish.
The ven...
ue itself is breathtaking. Overlooking a stunning golf course, the views provided a picturesque backdrop that perfectly complemented the romance of our special day. The lush greenery and rolling hills created a serene atmosphere, making every moment feel special. From the ceremony to the reception, our guests were captivated by the beauty surrounding us. It truly set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.
Equally impressive was the customer service. The staff at Marbella demonstrated exceptional professionalism and warmth throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a willingness to assist. Every detail was attended to with care, ensuring our vision came to life. Their dedication to making our day perfect was evident, and we felt truly cared for.
The flexibility of the staff deserves special mention as well. They were incredibly adaptable, accommodating our requests and making adjustments on the fly to meet the needs of our guests. Whether it was last-minute changes to seating arrangements or dietary accommodations, the team handled everything with grace and efficiency. This level of flexibility is crucial for any wedding, and Marbella excelled in this area.
In conclusion, my experience hosting my wedding at Marbella was remarkable. The stunning views of the golf course, combined with top-notch customer service and the staff’s exceptional flexibility, made for a day I will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Marbella as a wedding venue for anyone looking to create lasting memories in a beautiful setting.

We recently had our wedding at Marbella Country Club on 7/6/24, and it exceeded all our expectations! Kaile, the wedding venue coordinator, was an absolute gem. As a bride with cou...
ntless questions, I truly appreciated how patient and responsive she was throughout the entire planning process. Her industry experience, organizational skills, and attention to detail made everything so much easier.
The venue itself is simply stunning. The cocktail hour area is spacious, the ceremony space features a breathtaking open fountain backdrop, and the outdoor reception terrace is especially beautiful at sunset. There are countless photo-worthy spots throughout the property, resulting in some truly amazing pictures! Marbella also provides a perfect canvas for any decor you envision.
Marbella was incredibly accommodating to our needs. They allowed us to drape the indoor dance floor, bring in outdoor desserts (we had Yogurtland), and even use sparklers, which not all venues permit. Kaile also coordinated some special rentals for us through their partner, Signature Party Rentals.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our choice of Marbella Country Club. Our guests found the venue easy to access and appreciated how seamlessly everything flowed. The dinner menu was also delicious! If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a coordinator who genuinely cares about making your day special, I highly recommend Marbella Country Club!

give credit to Kaile and Maggie! Kaile is amazing to work with. She is so sweet, understanding, patient (because you know we brides have tons of questions!!), and easy to communicate with. She is always quick to respond and made me and my husband feel so special leading up to our wedding day. My dad even spoke with Kaile and had nothing but positive things to say about her which made me feel assured and happy to know that my parents questions were answered. Maggie was also so helpful on my wedding day making sure I was taken care of and available when my parents had any questions or needed anything!
Marbella is absolutely breathtaking. The venue itself is so kept up, it's serene, and elegant. It was everything I was dreaming my wedding would look like! The food is also soooo yummy! For future brides: get the ahi tacos they are amazing! My guests could not stop raving about the food after the wedding and they enjoyed every minute.
Marbella will always be a special place in my husband and I's heart. Thank you !!

The friendly and attentive service provided by the staff added an extra layer of warmth and comfort, making everyone feel right at home.
A special shoutout to Kaile, a beyond exceptional coordinator, who worked tirelessly with our wedding designer to create and elegant yet personal wedding reception. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our day was perfect.
Even when unexpected rain threatened our outdoor reception, the staff at Marbella Country Club swiftly adapted, seamlessly transitioning cocktail hour indoors, while monitoring the weather minute by minute. The rain quickly passed and the Marbella team did a great job of wiping off tables and chairs during cocktail hour so we could still have our reception outdoors. It was a dream even with the rain. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring our day was flawless truly made our wedding unforgettable.
We cannot thank the team enough for their outstanding service and flexibility. Highly recommended for couples looking for a magical and hassle-free wedding experience!

errace we knew Marbella was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. It was the most beautiful setting and had everything we wanted and more.
We had ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the terrace, and dinner on the main terrace under twinkling lights and chandeliers. We loved that there were so many spaces available to use for our wedding. We also utilized the bridal suite to get ready in and had lunch catered by the venue.
The wedding packages were priced very reasonably and we liked that they offered different add-ons. We did add-on a champagne greeting for guest arrival and late night snacks, which were a hit with our guests.
We continue to receive compliments on our wedding, how beautiful the venue was, how tasty the food was, and how wonderful the guest experience was.
We worked with Kaile throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kaile is professional, detailed oriented, and so kind. She always answered our questions promptly. She handled our last minute requests with ease. She was also there for our rehearsal and the day of our wedding. She went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.

redness and organization. This place knows weddings!
We worked with Kaile for the majority of our wedding preparations. Kaile was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the venue and their available packages, timeline creation, and general wedding planning. She hosted our initial walk-through, our meal tasting, and final walk-through. Each visit was helpful and clear, and Kaile calmed all my fears and nerves with her attention to detail and desire to see our vision to fruition. She began training Maggie while we were in the planning phase, and it was she who assisted on the day of our wedding. Maggie was also amazing! My favorite memory with her was being greeted with our signature mocktails after exiting the aisle with my newly-minted husband.
Beyond the helpful staff at this venue, it is completely gorgeous and a lovely backdrop for a traditional, classic wedding. The packages are all-inclusive, making planning concise and simple. The food was incredible; many wedding guests raved about the food to me weeks after the wedding. All in all, Marbella Country Club exceeded our expectations! Thank you Kaile, Maggie, and Marbella team for an outstanding experience and for helping make our dream wedding possible!

We got SO many compliments on the food and drinks, which were part of our package at Marbella. You can also use their preferred vendors, which we did, and they are top notch. We had pretty bad weather conditions pop up three days before our wedding, and Kaile and the entire Marbella team were SO helpful and worked overtime to help us adjust our plans (moving our whole wedding inside), pulled in other vendors to help us and changed our whole wedding plan with a smile on thier face. It took all of the stress off of us, which is what Kaile and her team accomplished throughout the whole process - took headaches off our plate and put it on theirs. My husband and I had the ablsute BEST day, and a huge part of that was Marbella and thier amazing team. Best wedding venue ever!! We would (and will) highly recommend Marbella and Kaile to anybody looking into venues for their wedding, they are simply the gold-standard.

It was very exciting to get the call that we were going to be able to have our wedding, finally! The staff are beyond friendly and provided excellent fun service. The food was so darn yummy and the open bar service was epic. The views of the golf course are stunning and created a perfect backdrop for the whole day. You really do not need a lot of décor because of how beautiful everything is. It was an amazing venue for our perfect day! Thanks so much for everything Marbella.

was so incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful with the planning process. The food was INCREDIBLE. Not your typical mass produced wedding food--we got countless compliments! The bar service was also amazing and the beverage director actually met with us in person to perfect our signature cocktails!! I truly can not imagine a more perfect venue, and honestly I think it is the most incredible value out there. I searched many places and Marbella absolutely has the best value in addition to a beautiful location! I 100% recommend Marbella!

This wedding venue was perfect for our wedding. The country club has beautiful architecture and beautiful grounds. San Juan Capistrano has perfect weather all year and our July 3rd...
wedding was no exception. The food and drinks were fantastic. Everything we wanted was available through Marbella. Event set up was seamless, everything happened without me needing to say or do anything! Working with Kaile from Marbella was so nice. We had a great tasting and then a great final details meeting. Our overall experience was so phenomenal we will cherish this day forever! This was a very elegant venue and I’m so happy we got married here!

Marbella was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Kaile was very professional and on top of things. You can tell she is a seasoned Event Manager. She was very helpful in explainin...
g what to expect and maintained contact with me throughout the process. We were married in May 2021, so leading up to our wedding date, we had fears Marbella would not be open in time due to COVID. Kaile advocated for us and we were able to keep Marbella as our venue. The ceremony lawn at Marbella is unparalleled and the flow from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception is flawless. We had our reception on the Catalina terrace with bistro lighting and chandeliers and it was stunning. Our wedding was a true fairy tale. Several of our guests commented on what a gorgeous venue Marbella is and their food is delicious too! Another plus is Marbella has a fairly large Bridal Suite, so you can have all of your bridesmaids, Mama's, and vendors (such as make-up artists) in there comfortably. The Groom's staging area is upstairs and the Bridal Suite is downstairs, so there's no chance the groom can accidentally see you before the wedding, which was important to me. Although a small thing, something else I loved about Marbella is they recently renovated their Women's bathrooms and they are GORGEOUS! The entrance to Marbella is very grand with a gate and meticulous landscape providing an elegant experience for the guests from the moment they arrive all the way through the end of the reception. Marbella played a key role in providing my now husband and I the wedding of our dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend Marbella!

Marbella Country Club caught our eye immediately during our wedding venue search - it is a Mediterranean-inspired property with beautiful architecture and gorgeous outdoor scenery....
Pricing also looked very reasonable and we were excited to host our outdoor ceremony & reception on site, but unfortunately COVID-19 hit right after we booked the venue. Once staff returned from furlough, we received monthly updates from the parent company (Country Club Receptions) regarding postponement and cancellation policies. While we did have to wait until about September 2020 to get concrete updates that we could hold our ceremony only in November 2020, I did appreciate that they did their best to keep us up to date. We chose to proceed as we personally were comfortable with shrinking our guest count and forgoing our formal reception.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Kaile on our ceremony details. Kaile was extremely responsive and answered all my questions. We appreciated that they prioritized safety of us & our guests throughout the planning process. The week of our ceremony, we found out it was going to be rainy & extremely windy on our wedding day. Kaile was instrumental in helping us pivot our ceremony to an indoor space. While it wasn't ideal to be indoors under current circumstances, we were grateful we had that option especially since it was quite windy/chilly outside. Ultimately, our guests appreciated that they were warm and covered as well. The weather also did let up just enough in the afternoon that we snuck out for some photos.
The staff at Marbella was helpful day-of setting up our bridal lunch and ceremony space. Seating was socially distanced and guests were asked to wear masks. Although we had ceremony only, we were able to request some extra time on site so that we could do our first dance, parent dances and toasts with our guests present. We still received so many compliments from our guests about Marbella and they appreciated the property's beauty as much as we did. I wish we had more time to enjoy the venue for our wedding, but we were so happy that we were able to have our ceremony at all. I am confident that if we had to plan our reception, Kaile would have made the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. If I had to do the process over again, I would still choose Marbella!

ding guests raved about days after. The staff was so flexible and willing to work with us, and made the planning phase seemless. Jennifer was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had, and was willing to work with us with any issue that arose. Kailee was also wonderful to work with; she was able to fine tune all of the details to create such a memorable wedding day for us! Candice with Engaged Events was our wedding planner who was absolutely phenomenal! She seemed to work so well with Jennifer and Kaile as well as all of our other vendors to make our wedding 100 percent stress free and absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Marbella and Engaged Events and am so thankful for both teams!

You won't be disappointed!

anding. There is just nothing they could have done to improve on. My wedding was hit by a rain storm and the grand out door wedding I had dreamed of seemed like it was being washed away. I was so upset. Marbella stepped in and turned the potentially wet mess into the most beautiful Intimate memorable wedding , In front of their beautiful fireplace...I never could have Imagined A more amazing wedding.

Marbella was the perfect venue for us. From the time we entered the gates of the country club, we were surrounded by the beautiful scenery and felt like we had traveled far to this...
getaway, even though it was only a couple cities. The layout of the venue was great too, because guests were taken to different areas for each part of the wedding. Jennifer and Kaile really went above and beyond for us as well. From our first visit to the day of the wedding, they helped make our vision come to life and we couldn’t have asked for a better team.

My husband and I got married on November 3rd, 2018 at Marbella and everything about it was perfect. I would like to first point out that I was planning our wedding from Memphis whi...
le my husband lives in LA so there were some hurdles to cross in terms of planning but Marbella did make it seamless.
Jennifer was our coordinator at Marbella and from day one she was extremely professional, excited and accommodating. We had requested 2 tastings (one with and without the parents), and 3 walkthroughs of which Jen needed to be planned the weekends I was in town and Jen made them happen with no hesitation.
Since Marbella only takes on one wedding a weekend, all of the focus was on our wedding that weekend. Marbella allowed us to set up early, gave us the options to drop things off the night before, and pick things up the day after— which was exceptional considering how busy we were that weekend.
Marbella has their preferred vendors, which we willingly used for all our rental supplies, food, cake, etc and we could clearly see why they were preferred. Our wedding was set throughout the entire reception space with our dinner being on the patio underneath a fabric tent and the dancing inside. When we arrived on our wedding day the place looked like a dream. All of our guests were amazed at the view and beauty of the venue, starting with the fountain at the entrance to the scenic golf course in the back.
My husband and I wanted to have a wedding that focused more on quality than quantity and so we wanted the best of everything. It’s safe to say that we had no regrets on our choice of venue and food. As stated our dinner took place on the patio under a fabric tent with chandelier lights. This allowed for our guests to take in the sunset and appreciate the nice California weather. For dinner, we chose the duet of filet mignon and sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. The filet was cooked to a med-med rare of great quality and the sea bass was moist and flaky. Our guests were beyond satisfied with the meal and amazed at the quality of the cuts, preparation, and presentation. While Marbella doesn’t cater their own wedding cake, they do cover the costs of the cake to be made at one of their preferred bakeries which in my opinion is better since more customizations can be made.
Later on in the evening, after much dancing, we had an In-n-Out trailer arrive and serve their signature burgers to our guests. This was a special treat as my whole family is from NY. Marbella allowed the truck to park in the back at the bottom of the stairs which created much anticipation as everyone— as full as they were— could not wait to get their hands on a juicy burger.
We ended the night with a sparkler send off which looked beautiful in front of the fountain in the night sky. We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night to celebrate our love with our family and friends.
