The Retreat by Wedgewood Weddings

process to help make it less overwhelming. They took care of the florals, food, cake, coordinating the event, DJ and we got a photo booth. I loved it all and it seemed like a really good steal for what we got on our wedding day. We loved our wedding venue and the staff. We even got to bring our dogs on our wedding day and they received plenty of love from the staff. Lots of customizable choices and they were super accommodating whenever possible. I have zero regrets going with this venue. We loved it so so much!

re military and we were getting moved across the country in late February. This is why early January was PERFECT. A month into planning the military pushed the move date up to December 1st, so the January date would no longer work. I drove a couple of hours to speak to the staff in person because they laughed at me when I tried to explain on the phone. I told them at this point I just wanted to know my options and if we could potentially reschedule before his next deployment or after. I told them I could show proof or get a letter from the command etc.. and they snapped back and said WE ARE NOT GIVING YOUR MONEY BACK. They made us feel so uncomfortable. I don’t remember their names, but one was a pregnant woman (at the time) and I think she had red hair. She was very rude and told us that there are people that come up with stories all the time and they wouldn’t accommodate me. She also said that there are times where the groom or bride can’t make it and the wedding still goes on. (Wow). They pushed and pushed for a new date while we were moving across the country and they were not patient enough to wait for me to give them his deployment return date. I asked if I could schedule this wedding once we could get an ACTUAL date and they told me I needed to choose a date immediately. I told them I wanted to wait to be sure when he came home before I gave a new date, because they previously told me once I choose a second date they would need MORE money and I would NOT get refunded again if he’s not back in time. I was not going to give this company another $6,600 if I wasn’t sure what date he would return for deployment. I just needed a little more time. If you are military, then you can understand what I mean. I couldn’t believe I was almost forced into choosing a date and giving them more money. They claimed other military spouses had paid all this money and the groom just couldn’t come. I’m sorry, but as a business how are you okay with that? A man is out fighting for his country and you’re okay with making them suffer more? To make a long story short, they canceled my wedding. They kept my money, the staff was SO rude and made us feel so uncomfortable and then canceled my wedding. I am writing this because I want everyone to understand what they’re walking into. They will be very friendly until you give them your money and they will NOT accommodate no matter what. I was not originally looking for a refund. This business HAD my money already. I just needed to be sure on deployment dates. I was not rude or disrespectful to these people. We did not deserve this treatment. This business is not friendly and they do not support the military. So disappointed.

l and I am glad we had the chance to learn more about Wedgewood with her!

tor the day prior to our wedding, despite the team consistently stating all the details we wanted would be upheld they were not. An example being that the venue has many fireplaces, we wanted them all on during our event. Despite numerous requests this never occurred. Our coordinator not handling things with stern directive led to our timeline being off and her in turn trying to cut our photo time short. Our coordinator also didn't seem to respect us as a couple, in our first meeting seeking to follow the wishes of our parents despite it being our day and us making that clear that we were making all final decisions no matter how large or small the detail. Despite providing detailed seating information, our seating arrangements were not done as requested. WE PROVIDED A DRAWING WITH TABLE NUMBERS AND THE SEAT ASSIGNMENTS!!!! Caitlin was amazing and supportive, after her departure no one took time to get to know us or build rapport. Our experience left us feeling like nothing more than a number and money to this organization/venue.

mazing. Our coordinators brought our vision to life. We had a wonderful and amazing experience. Everything was on time and they paid attention to our every needs. Thank you for making our special day special 💗 💕 💖

could not have asked for a better team to make our day the best.

and taken care of. Besides the Venue being beautiful, the people working at the Venue are even more beautiful. They ALWAYS have a smile and a pleasant tone. They truly made my wedding a day I can never forget. Every time someone asked me if I needed anything I was so appreciative of the attentiveness. I am so pleased with The Retreat by Wedgewood that I want to yell from a mountain top how great this venue and the team are! AND THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! THE FOOD WAS HOT, FRESH, AND SEASONED!! I will be talking about this venue for the rest of my life.

people. The staff at The Retreat made it easy! Mackenzie, Alyshia & Traillan were our primary coordinators. My husband & I wanted our wedding to reflect & honor our heritage. Alyshia in particular was able to help us infuse our wedding with Hawaiian, Japanese, Irish & Danish elements. All of our dreams & ideas came to life! On our wedding day, we were relaxed and able to enjoy the moment! It was beautiful!

te these uncertain times. I am deeply disappointed in how they handled my situation. I explained to them that the father of the groom has a heart condition (he had a widow maker heart attack) and that I have asthma and do not feel safe holding a 140 guest wedding in January. Anyone in customer service would try to work with the bride, no? Absolutely refuse to discuss postponements STILL. Instead, they replied, "Would you like to wait to see if we move into the window of rescheduling 2021 or cancel the event now?". I guess to them the bride should risk their safety and health (especially with an illness that ATTACKS THEIR ABILITY TO BREATHE) so that their company can make some money. They made sure to let us know several times that they would be keeping our deposit though. Just awful.

verything was taken care of. The food was amazing, everyone was raving! Everything looked beautiful the day of, just how I imagined it! I really feel like we got the bang for our buck. It was the best day of my life! Thank you everyone at The Retreat!

e to not just express with words, but with the views what The Retreat means to us and will always mean. We can't describe in words our experience with everyone who made our wedding a true love story. Let us start with the venue, the most beautiful, romantic, elegant place we looked at through our wedding venue hunt. As soon as my wife and I walked in, we knew the place was special and unique, and what did it for us was our who was to be our future coordinator, who as soon as she greeted us, we knew right and then we were in good hands and The Retreat was meant to be our venue. Our amazing, sweetest, kindest, most attentive Wedding Coordinator Caitlin was a sweetheart, she was always there for us and with us all the way to our wedding day. She was a big part of making our wedding a dream come true, she made everything possible no matter how complex sometimes things sounded. We know everyone at The Retreat are amazing people and they surely make everyone feel as part of their family, but we can not emphasize enough how amazing Caitlin was with us. No wedding planning is ever easy I'm sure, but The Staff at the Retreat made it seem like it was. The hardest part of our experience was deciding what we wanted to eat. To the wedding day, the most beautiful scenery, all the set up and arrangements were all done to perfection, exactly to the way we wanted. There was no stress, no hustle, no distress, if anything went wrong at any point, believe us, we did not notice, in fact everything was too perfect. If we could remember everyone's names at Wedgewood that made this wedding possible believe us we would name them, but we can not thank them enough for making it happen. Our DJ Kyle, he was on top of everything, we gave him an insanely list of songs, some which we are positive not a lot of people would know, and yet he made them all happen, it was incredible. Kim, our wedding captain, what an amazing person, she treated us as royalty, she was on top of everything from the start of the reception and until we all left, she even sent us home with amazing food. Now, our Chef, the way he prepared what we call a "Royalty Feast" was done to perfection, and to top it off, he came to greet us while dinner went on to introduce him self and make sure we were enjoying everything, and we know for sure no other place can top that. Now, OUR BARTENDER ROCKED... Perfect drinks, knew his stuff and super friendly... In conclusion, we will miss everything and everyone from The Retreat, but everything will live on in our mind and hearts, because they made of our wedding "The Dream Wedding". Thank you Caitlin and thank you to everyone who made this amazing day happen in such a perfect way!!! We love The Retreat and we wouldn't have made a better choice then that...

t pick I could of ever made. From day 1, the coordinators were amazing to work with and easy to get a hold of for anything we needed. The day of went off without a single hiccup and I couldn't be happier with the experience we had here. Absolutely THE BEST!! If you're looking for a beautiful location at an affordable price for everything you could ever need for wedding, The Retreat is definitely the #1 pick!

cess. The staff are very responsive and friendly. On our special day Amia, Kim, DJ Scott, John, the bartender made our day memorable. Great venue, awesome staff and spectacular experience!

easy to work with and quick to get back to me whenever I had a question. It was easy to trust them due to their experience and abundance of resources. I used almost all the vendors they recommended, which made life even easier. 10/10; would recommend!

graphy vendors. We were blown away by all of it! Their food and bar service was absolutely top-notch. Plus, have you seen the inside of the venue and THOSE VIEWS?! Throughout the entire event, our coordinator Marissa and banquet captain Kim were so attentive and made sure everything went off without a hitch (and that our glasses were never empty!) from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for making our wedding day truly the best day of our entire life!

ys checking with me (Bride) and with my made-of-honor to ensure everything was the way I wanted and I planned it. I’m truly grateful to all the staff for the hard work and attention to detail to create such a memorable wedding.

dj really listened to what we wanted and made sure our day went the way it was suppose. Our family and guests all talked about how an amazing experience it was and it was all thanks to wedgewood.

photo booth, open bar with top alcohol and even invitations! The venue in Corona, CA was beautiful and perfect! I would 100% recommend Wedgewood wedding venues to anyone!

nute disagreement with the photographer about the day-of timeline, she insisted to straightened it out herself instead of me requiring me to do it which REALLY impressed and helped me. On top of that, her team decided to gift us the upgraded chairs because they wanted to make my wedding even more beautiful (though the standard chairs were also pretty!). On my wedding day, there was a super unfortunate miscommunication with the florist which affected 2 elements of the wedding, but Caitlin was on top of her game and problem-solved the shizz out of it so there was really nothing for me to worry about. Then to make it an even better experience for me, she also gifted us the bar for the whole evening instead of just the cocktail hour that we paid for. Delaney, Caitlin's counterpart, was available and present for anything we needed the whole evening. And Kim, the food coordinator, was AMAZING! We had some severe allergies in our group and I had full confidence they would be taken care of. On top of that, she made sure that my husband and I had time to eat and she made sure to send us home with a generous helping in case we got the late night munchies. Even though Caitlin, Delaney, and Kim do this day in and day out, I felt like a unique bride who was seen with fresh eyes. They all were intentional about understanding my specific needs and interests, and they went above and beyond to satisfy us. The general process of the planning the wedding was a breeze since their workbook outlines all of the decisions that need to be made. Though I could if i wanted to, I did not need to find any other vendors such as photographer and videographer since they were available as an upgrade. Even though Wedgewood turns out weddings like no one's business, it was an entirely customizable experience and the bride only benefits from the streamlined process. This place is where you get the bang for your buck! AND, I got feedback from several people who attended our wedding saying this was one of the FAVORITE weddings they ever attended and that the venue couldn't have been any more BEAUTIFUL. All in all, I know that I would not have been able to have the wedding I had without Wedgewood and the team. I'm so grateful!

planning. The coordinators were organized and made sure I stayed on task with my decision making ( which was sooooo easy) we planned the wedding in just under 4 months for about 70 people . It was just a perfect wedding the food was spectacular and all of my wedding guests, bridal party, any myself felt 100% waited on hand and foot. Absolutely perfect to marry my perfect person !

e rest of the staff (servers & bartender) really went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed. From making sure our decorations were perfect, our plates filled (food was excellent ) and our friends and family taken care of. Can't say enough about how great they were!

ucky for me the wedgewood girls have my back making this process an exciting one with NO STRESS! 💜

in the bridal suite when my daughters giant dress made her a little hot. The staff is amazing!! Planning with the retreat is easy when you use their vendors who work side by side with the venue. We used their florist, Floral Sensations and their baker, Cucamonga Cakery both made the details effortless for us. I highly recommend Wedgewood’s The Retreat for your special day!!
