Where do I even begin? Mountain Meadows made my wedding an absolute dream. From day one, they exceeded every expectation a bride and groom could possibly have. They truly went abov...
e and beyond in every detail from the flawless setup, to allowing guests to be seated early, to showing such kindness and care toward my 2-year-old who sadly had a fever on our wedding day.
Everything ran seamlessly thanks to their top-tier vendor list and the incredible coordination of their team. My family absolutely loves Mountain Meadows, it has been our venue of choice for every major milestone. My father, sister, cousin, and several aunts have all been married here, and we’ve also hosted baby showers, birthdays, vow renewals, and celebration-of-life events for my dear cousin and grandmother.
I cannot recommend Mountain Meadows enough. They take exceptional care of you and make every event feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to Gaby and the entire team for everything you’ve done. We can’t wait to celebrate our next event with you all soon!

I had my wedding here a couple yrs ago and it was a great venue. Great price for how beautiful it is. Gabby and Alyssa are both great. The only negatives I have is that I was told ...
we could come back the next day to pick up our things, by the coordinator that day. But at the end of my wedding, a person from the clean up crew said we had to pick up that night. So my brother and I had to cleanup. In hindsight, I should have confirm this prior to the day of my wedding. The other negative is we had an open bar, but the bartenders put up a list of prices for the drinks. Some our guests thought they had to pay and were paying. And some thought only our signature drinks were free and everything else had to be paid for. Besides those two things, everything was great with this venue.

Mountain Meadows caught our eye as we loved the pictures that were featured. I looked at their pricing that was available through The Knot and saw that they had very reasonable pri...
ces compared to other venues. We decided to book a tour with Gaby, and she was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions that we had. She acted very professional and didn’t hesitate to offer her help. We ended up booking that same day because they had a few booking specials. We picked, a free additional hour of event time, $500 off ceremony site fee, and a free upgrade from classic to premium bar. In addition, we really liked that brands like Jameson, Hennessey, and Patron were in their premium bar package. I know a lot of venues would charge more and would even see these brands on “top shelf” menus.
Throughout the whole process, Gaby was very responsive, even though since she was busy with other weddings. She would always make sure to reply on the same day but no later than the next day. The look of the venue wasn’t too fabulous, but good enough for us.
I was a little nervous about the food as I have seen mixed reviews stating that the food is good or that the food is bland. I also been to a Wedgewood wedding early last year with a similar menu and the food was average at best. The Wedgewood Wedding also had prime rib carving which was really dry, tough and well done. However, most of the food at Mountain Meadows was very surprisingly tasty. I could probably pass on the rice, but the scalloped potatoes and mac and cheese were both good. The salmon was okay to me, but I heard from a few guests that they went back for seconds. The prime rib at Mountain Meadows was probably my favorite as it was properly cooked and well-seasoned, which relieved me as I was paying extra for this feature. I know that the short ribs are really good too as we tried this during our tasting, but we did not pay extra for this since we already opted for the prime rib.
Mountain Meadows also had great recommendations for vendors as well. The florist that we picked (Tutta Bella) really nailed it with the spiral centerpieces. Everyone loved SomeCrust (bakery) since their cake was very moist and not too overly sweet. The photo booth that we picked also (LX Pix) also had GREAT quality pictures (which I will be posting). Mountain Meadows also allowed outside vendors to come in also and did not require proof of insurance. I know that there are a lot of venues that are very strict and only allow their own services/vendors. We were able to hire an ice cream cart and a late night Kogi Truck to serve tacos.
The only con I would say is that we ended up overestimating our guest count early in the process and didn’t adjust until right before the deadline. We ended up making payments for a little over our actual guest count and they mentioned they had to go through an approval process to refund us the extra expenses. My advice is if you would like to book, make sure to give an accurate guest count, or give a lower guest count. That way, you can pay the venue the difference versus going through the approval process. Or if you have a better idea of your guest count, make sure to adjust before you submit the remaining payments.
Overall, it was a great experience. The service on the day of the wedding was fantastic. They saved my husband and I hors d’oeuvres as we were taking pictures during cocktail hour. The hors d’oeuvres were delicious and they did not skimp on the portion sizes as well

The team was beyond incredible—professional, warm, and truly invested in making our wedding unforgettable. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were relaxed and taken care of throughout the entire day.
If you’re looking for a venue that is breathtaking, well-run, and filled with heart, look no further. Gaby and her team helped make our dream wedding a reality, and we are forever grateful!

We are very pleased that we had our reception here, it is a beautiful venue. Staff was good, esp. Jasmine and Alyssa in the catering office. Organized, detailed, the staff is well ...
seasoned and trustworthy. Food was tasty, guests enjoyed. We decided for a morning ceremony at our parish, then a luncheon, which is how we saved *significant* money and made our budget work. This option was exceptionally helpful for us, as we have no desire to spend the "typical SoCal wedding budget" by any stretch of insane imagination; not a chance. Since we opted out of a traditional wedding package, there were a few things that we did not get included-did not miss or need them at all. Bridal fair was very helpful to get ideas of how events look there so go if you can+ lots of vendors, but we found them a bit pricey and hired our own. Lots of room for customizing details/no unpleasant or picky restrictions which some places seem to have, that was nice. It was a fairly easy and simple process-as much as planning a wedding can be. We have no regrets, it was a beautiful day. We only wish it had not gone by in literally a flash. We loved it there.

Rosana and Gaby are amazing! Mountain Meadows is amazinggggg! My wedding day could not have been more perfect!
We booked before the end of the year in 2017 and our wedding date w...
as December 15th, 2018. My husband is in the military and lived in Washington during the whole wedding planning process. Rosana and Gaby worked with us to accommodate meetings, tastings, and details when he was in town and able to meet together. They listened to my ideas and made recommendations and suggestions which were all so appreciated. One month before the wedding, the most important month for all the final details, I received a job over in Washington and accepted. I felt so confident with the venue and the lovely ladies working there to help me bring everything together, even being 2 states away. The day turned out perfectly and as worry free as a wedding can be. I owe it all to Rosana and Gaby, and my mom. I would recommend this venue to all my family and friends for anything. It’s almost a week since and I’m still getting messages and phone calls about the venue, the food, and how beautiful and perfect the day was! Thank you Mountain Meadows Golf Course for bringing my vision to life and making our wedding day the best day ever!!!

Booking our wedding with Mountain Meadows was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding process. We decided on this venue around January 2017 for our September 20...
18 wedding and from day 1, Gaby and her awesome team were nothing short of amazing. Our wedding was a relatively complicated one: 2 ceremonies, 2 cocktail hours, a lot of coordination and requests from our part. Gaby was always so accommodating, helpful, responsive, and friendly through it all, never once making us feel stressed or that we couldn't make our vision for the day work. The venue itself was fantastic as well, and offered an elegant, yet convenient setting at a very affordable price. If you are thinking about booking with Mountain Meadows, do yourself a favor and just do it. You won't regret it, and you will thank yourself later when you are drowning in all the other details of wedding planning. This will be one of the best and easiest vendors you will work with, and also one of the best decisions you will make in this entire process. Thank you Gaby, Rosana, Holly and everyone else at MM for making our wedding day so special!

Right from the beginning, we knew Mountain Meadows was the most beautiful place for my daughter’s wedding. I felt Tiffany and Monica were so helpful, nothing short of amazing, eve...
ry step of the way. Working with them for over a year, I knew everything would be perfect. Little did I know since the day of the wedding all of my dreams fell apart. First, they had booked a school even early in the day that ended at 3:30pm after they said weddings booked on Fridays had use the facility for the entire day. Our wedding started at 5:00pm with 170 guests and many from out of town! They used the bride’s maiden last name for the Mr. & Mrs. Sign (ceremony, reception, special drink) instead of the groom’s last name and there were not enough ceremony chairs for the guests (approx. 140) so guests had to stand.
There were not enough plates and no cups during the cocktail hour. Dinner was supposed to be served at 7:15pm and it was served after 8:00pm. This made all of the events planned during the night start later and they felt rushed. The cake was served after 10:00pm and many people had left by this time. The service was very upsetting because there was not enough help. Mountain Meadows is such a beautiful place, but we had such terrible service. After talking with the manger, I was given a small refund. Despite this, I would not recommend Mountain Meadows for any event because it caused a lot of unnecessary stress due to promises they did not keep.

Hi Karen,
My name is Gaby and I am the Private Event Director at Mountain Meadows Golf Co...
urse. I was going through some of our reviews and noticed yours. I am so sorry to hear about the way things were handled when your daughter had her wedding here back in 2013. In 2014, we brought in an entirely new management team, and I can assure you that things are run much different here now. I appreciate your feedback, and I actually reached out to your daughter to invite her and her husband for dinner on us. You are more than welcome to join them if you would like. Feel free to give me a call at (909)623-3704 ext. 3 if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Gaby Blidy

I knew when I arrived at Mountain Meadows Country Club for the first time that I wanted to get married there because I loved how open and green it is as well as the view of the mou...
ntains.
I arrived for the wedding at 4:20pm and our wedding was to start at 5:00pm. I noticed that the reception tables had not yet been set up with the gifts for the guests and one of the chair covers was missing. At the start of the ceremony, there was not a table in the gazebo for the rock ceremony. I became aware of the guests standing as I walked down the aisle and noticed that the chairs were not set up the way we agreed. I made a special runner that was supposed to reach to the end of the chairs based on the measurement I was given. I appreciate that the staff added the additional runner through the chairs. The sign to enter the reception said processed instead of proceed to the reception. Later, I learned that the signs for the Ceremony and our Special Drink were in my maiden name. If I would have known that it would be a problem, I would have made my own signs. In addition, I booked over a year in advance so there was plenty of time to ask for this information/the groom’s last name. In addition, the groom’s grandmother was the first one down the aisle and she was unable to untie the tulle that sectioned off the family seating. A groomsman had to cut the tulle with a knife (it should be tied in a bow so it is easy to remove).
At the reception, my husband and I were seated and it took a while for the salad to be served. During that time, we had guests who came up to us and complained that the bar would not serve them whisky because the bar ran out of house whisky. I was appalled that a premium whisky would not be served because it was not our fault that the facility was out of house whisky. In our final meeting, our DJ told us that it was very important to remain seated and eat before we go around greeting guests so we remained at the table. It took a long, long time for dinner to be served so our DJ changed plans and had us visit with guests. He stated he would notify us when the food finally arrived. It turned out that all of our events started late due to dinner being served so late. By the time we played a special song for guests, they had already left for the evening. I felt rushed with the father/daughter dance and I didn’t even see the mother/son dance as I was busy talking with the DJ about our new timeline due to dinner being delayed. I am very disappointed that our guests missed the special song and that I missed my husband’s dance with his mother. I was later told that the venue also ran out of rolls during dinner. I also learned that the bartender did not know how to pour shots or mix cocktails. Again, I would have hired my own bartender if I would have known that this was a problem. My cousin, who is a bartender, was telling the bartender what goes into different drinks.
One of my main disappointments is that we were told that if we booked on a Friday that we would have the facility for the entire day. We found out later that a school event was booked on our wedding day. I believe that the facility was short staffed due to the event prior to my wedding. The fact that the facility was short staffed and dinner was delayed caused stress on my wedding day not to mention that our events were compromised.
I believe that this venue is a great value, but it comes with a price.

Hi Kimberly,
My name is Gaby and I am the Private Event Director at Mountain Meadows Golf ...
Course. I was going through some of our reviews and noticed yours. I am so sorry to hear about the way things were handled when you hosted your wedding here back in 2013. In 2014, we brought in an entirely new management team, and I can assure you that things are run much different here now. I appreciate your feedback, and although there is nothing we can do to change what happened that day, we would love to invite you and your husband back for dinner on us. I noticed your 6-Year Wedding Anniversary is coming next month. Please give me a call at (909)623-3704 ext. 3 so I can give you some more details. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Gaby Blidy

Our wedding went reasonably well, however, there were some negatives. We ended up having 3 different coordinators which created some problems in communication. We paid for extra gu...
ests and extra chairs for anticipated stragglers and despite the additional payment during the photo shoot we were approached by a staff member who told us if they had to put put out any additional plates we would be charged. I told them we paid for 150 and ONLY 150. I said I did not want any estra meals and the extra chairs were for late arrivals or for people who wanted to sit in a different table for whatever reason. Also the staff was late in serving the cake. By the time it was done, most people were leaving.Otherwise things went fairly well.

When I walked into the reception room, I knew this was where we would be getting married. I just had to convince my fiancé. And once he saw it, he loved it as much as I did. We had...
our ceremony and reception there and it was perfect. The value for what you get is worth every dollar that we spent. Our guest are still raving about the food and how much fun the whole night was. The service that we received the day of the wedding was AWESOME…. They went beyond anything that we expected. I have never been waited on like this before. I never had to ask for anything, they were always on it.

We got married on november 4th 2011. Everything was wonderful except for the fact it rained all day but who can control that? The feedback I received from my guests was very posit...
ive but some things were just too big to overlook. First of all there was no coordinator there! The girls I met with introduced me to someone but I thought they were just in charge of food and bar. Turns out she was the day of coordinator. She was a bartender! And although she was very efficient she obviously wasn't experienced enough to coordinate our entire wedding! I was extremely disappointed because my groom and I and the wedding party had to direct ourselves and figure out times of everything. We even had to tell them when to serve dinner! I thought the whole point of giving them a time line a week before was that they would stick to it! I understand that things don't go exactly to plan but it was a little ridiculous. And one of the bartenders was a little bit rude to my guests (including me) and was charging for the keg beer that we had already purchased! Overall I am grateful for the time we had and appreciate that they were able to adapt since we had to move the ceremony inside but they definitely need to be more organized. The wedding party shouldn't be moving chairs or arches around for them!

My husband and I were very happy with the outcome of our wedding reception. I didn't have a wedding coordinator plan my wedding. I did it all on my own, and Mountain Meadows made m...
y vision come true without the need of a wedding planner. I thought I was going to have to set everything up myself, but they did it all for me. Every little detail I had envisioned was displayed the day of my wedding. Mountain Meadows is beautiful and very reasonable. They have great packages that include the food, limo service, open bar, flowers, cake, and much more. I would definitely recommend Mountain Meadows to anyone who is interested in it. Another nice thing was the privacy we got. We have a 2 year old son, so rather than having to worry about him running out, stangers taking him, he was perfectly safe the entire time. He was running around doing his own thing, and the only people around (aside from the workers) were our guests. Very nice!

I had my wedding here and loved it. The dance floor is a bit small but that's my only complain and it's nothing to complain about! The coordinator there, Katie, is great! She is so...
helpful and is always there to answer any and all of your questions. The hall is nicely decorated with beautiful tulle and lighting. The staff on the night off is friendly and the food was delicious. The tables and linens are not the best so I brought another vendor for that but this venue is definitely worth the price!
