This venue is a 10/10. We had our wedding 10.18.24. The best day ever. We had the best experience with this venue and I am so grateful. The owners, design team, florals, catering, and coordination were wonderful. They helped throughout the entire wedding process and I never had too many questions. I didn’t have a wedding planner, however, this team guided me beautifully. My guests were in awe of the venue, service, food, bartender, and organization. The wedding flowed beautifully. Karen, my coordinator was on top of everything. SHE IS THE BESTTTTTT! They worked with whatever extra vendor I had included and incorporated them into their team so everyone was clued in on what’s going on. Thank you VDA! Love, the colemans
Hi, this is Sarah and Moises, our wedding date was 07/19/2024. Our wedding day was more than a fairytale, and Villa de Amore made that possible. From the in house vendors to the helpful staff everything went perfectly. Having everything done through the venue and not having to go searching for help elsewhere was not only a big help but saved us a significant amount of stress and money. The decor was picturesque and the coordinator Havilah was truly a blessing. She was charismatic and very proficient on our special day, she makes you feel very comfortable and attends to every need. David was very informative and prompt with dealing with all the paperwork and the in house aspects of the venue. All questions were answered in a timely fashion and his jokes made us feel at ease. We appreciated that there was no surprises at the end with extra charges or fees, everything was upfront and honest. We also used LMP for our pictures and Video and couldn’t be happier. They took some time with all our finalized photos and videos, but it was well worth the wait. We want to extend our gratitude to LMP for their fantastic abilities to showcase our special day.
We could not have been more please with our wedding at Villa De Amore. They made the wedding planning process such a breeze. The venue is stunning already and the details they add to your vision just make it that much better. The staff was amazing Havilah, Mandi, Sierah, David, Eileen, bartenders, servers, dj, and photography team did an exceptional job! Everyone was so kind and friendly our guest had the best time! Our guests raved about the venue and food. I thank Havilah for making the day run so smoothly she was on top of all of it she is such a great coordinator! My husband and I will forever cherish the memories we made that day at Villa De Amore. Thank you again to everyone who made our day so perfect and special!
Any questions?
We had SUCH an amazing wedding day! Our coordinator Havilah was phenomenal… she made sure everything ran smoothly and was very helpful not only for the bride and groom but also our guests. Because Villa de Amore had about everything in-house, planning was SUPER easy. Especially since we were planning this out of state in Chicago. They made accommodations because we only flew in once a year and was able to talk on the phone or via email when we needed to. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding day!
I got married here on July 7th, 2024 and it was PERFECT. The stress of wedding planning was taken off my shoulders by the amazing coordinating, design, floral, photography, and catering team of Villa de Amore. They were so flexible, communicative, attentive, and detail-oriented. They all made my wedding magical.
On the day of, Havilah, the coordinator was an absolute angel. She is absolutely phenomenal. The schedule of events went seamlessly and we had time to do everything! We are so happy and grateful to say we truly enjoyed our wedding day.
From the first day, we toured the villa, my husband and I just knew! The pricing is also hard to beat considering their all-inclusive package covers just about everything except the cake and desserts. They truly have it all! Don't hesitate to tour and book this venue. They are all so kind and really make you feel right at home.
Thank you so much Villa de Amore! We are so so grateful. <3
Beautiful venue with amazing staff. Almost everything you can think of is included with the venue. You just need to bring your clothes, alcohol, and stationary and have an amazing time. I was absolutely blown away by how great the coordination was day of. Everyone keeps telling us how this was one of the most beautiful and coordinated weddings they have ever been to. The design and catering team were also amazing. Mandi made my dream Red, Black, and White wedding come true.
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. If you are getting married, I would HIGHLY recommend an all inclusive venue and even more so picking Villa De Amore.
From the beginning, everyone was so friendly and easy to work with. They were incredibly helpful and responsive. The venue is absolutely beautiful. What sold us was how easy it was to plan, they take care of every single detail, including decor, coordination, florals, DJ, etc. and the best part is all the vendors work together all the time so they know how to operate as one flawless team. David (owner), Mandi (design), and Tori (coordinator) were the team we mainly worked with and they completely made my wedding dreams come true, making it a beautiful and stress free day. I could talk for hours about how much I loved this venue and team. THANK YOU VDA, every single one of you are absolutely the best.
I literally could not have had a better experience at Villa de Amore. Our wedding would not have been as magnificent and beautiful if it were not for them. I have so many friends stressed about wedding planning and the process through VDA was stress-free, it was truly such a relief. My husband and I did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day and just got to enjoy the event. Tori, the coordinator, was amazing. She made sure the day was perfect and we had no stress the day of the event. The food and appetizers were amazing. The late night tacos were an added bonus. A lot better than we have had at many other weddings! The bridal and groom suites were a nice touch and the flowers they provided were absolutely to die for. VDA was professional through and through and always answered my emails in a timely manner. I cannot rave about this place enough. The last thing I have to say is: book this place as your venue ASAP!
I had the wedding of my dreams here in September 2023! Villa de Amore made everything so easy and smooth from the very beginning. They were so transparent about pricing, availability and the services they provide. The venue is all inclusive, but their ability to personalize everything for each couple is incredible! Their communication was quick and their team was so wonderful to work with! Tori was our wedding coordinator and she was great to work with and didn’t mind me being incredibly type A. Mandi was our lead designer and perfectly executed my very specific vision! All of our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was! Highly recommend Villa de Amore for one of the most beautiful weddings you could dream of!
My husband and I got married here in October 2023- if you're looking for a wedding venue in Southern California, look no further! I truly cannot rave about Villa de Amore enough. There is a reason they were booked out a year and a half before our wedding day, so definitely book early! David, Eileen and the team just get it and they are truly experts in all things weddings. As a type A bride, it was so nice having all the details laid out and everyone at VDA being so easy to work with (with quick communication!). Almost everything is included, which saves money, time and effort not having to bring in a bunch of outside vendors, and the bar is BYOB, which helps a ton if you can get discounted alcohol. Karen, our coordinator, truly was a miracle worker and made everything run smoothly. Mandi, our designer, was amazing and helped us decide on our vision including flowers which was not my strong suit. The venue is laid out perfectly for weddings, and it's rare to have a private venue for 9 hours on your wedding day (without public wine tasting!). Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and loved everything about the venue. Perfect for photos and video- highly recommend upgrading to the videography package with the drone! Thank you VDA for making our big day the best ever!
This venue is an amazing private venue with gorgeous, spacious grounds and breathtaking views. Not only is it beautiful, but its staff shows the highest level of professionalism and commitment to helping you design and execute the wedding of your dreams. Mandi and Sierah performed miracles with the design of the day and Tori executed a flawless day being the most attentive coordinator! I cannot say enough about this venue and strongly recommend it!
Had the wedding of my dreams at Villa on 5/20/23. We knew we wanted to get married in Temecula, and this happened to be the first place we toured (which set the bar SO high). I thought this was a public winery so showed up on a Tuesday hoping to just scope it out; we met one of the managers David, who was kind enough to give us the full tour on the spot. We picked May partly because there was a cancellation and David sold us hard on the beauty of the venue with the flowers in bloom - and it did not disappoint! The weather was perfect, about 78 during the day and a little cooler at night.
It was the most magical day and honestly so much better than I anticipated. The all inclusive price is AMAZING (no "don't forget to add 10% for tip"), and the quality of the services included is top notch. The flowers were overflowing and abundant. The decor was stunning and put together artfully with the help of the designer (so much better than if I had to purchase/choose every item myself). The food was the best wedding food we've had. Dessert was delicious, music was banging. One of the best parts is the privacy of the venue (it's not open to the public so no drunk onlookers) and the movement of the day - you and the guests get to flow through each space and truly experience the magic of this venue.
After touring other venues in the area, the price seemed reasonable for the quality and quantity of the services offered, and you don't have to spend hours interviewing people and trying to get cost breakdowns. You do a few meetings - food tasting, design day, and speak with the coordinator, which is all private and relaxed. This was a great option for us, being 2 busy people who work 50+ hours each week.
Everything went off without a hitch day of since the vendors work closely together and are managed by the coordinator Karen, who was kind, accommodating and made sure we always had a drink in our hand. This is a BYOB venue, so we had a fully stocked bar courtesy of Costco which saved us thousands of dollars and let us choose the type of wine and hard liquor we wanted (as many wineries do not have a hard liquor license). We went with Leah Marie photography and David Graham for minister, who were excellent.
You do have to get ready offsite, but my bridesmaids and I booked a house a 1/2 mile down the street which gave everyone more space in the morning anyways. The only feedback I have is that the guest bathrooms were just ok; it'd be nice if there was 1-2 more toilets. But as the bride, I used my own private bathroom in the bridal suite, so it did not matter to me.
If you're on the fence - do it. I wish I could get married there again. I also highly recommend a date when the white roses are blooming as it is stunning beyond belief. Thank you Villa for the best day!!
We had our wedding at VDA on 7/21/2023 and I cannot recommend this venue enough. I was a little nervous that an "all inclusive" venue would mean having to choose from certain pre-chosen options but everything we wanted they were able to do specific to our taste! The whole planning process was incredibly easy and all laid out for us. All of our guests said this was the best wedding food they ever had and the whole night VDA made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed (bringing drinks to us, appetizers to us during pictures, always asking if we needed anything but also getting to enjoy the whole night). The venue is beautiful and you can really make this exactly what you want for your wedding.
Our wedding was conducted on 7/15/2023, and we could not be happier with how it turned out!
We booked VDA over a year in advance, and all throughout this time VDA has been clear in their communications and requests, and quick in their responsiveness to our inquiries. From flowers, cakes, photography, and music, VDA made the process so much more simple than if we had to built it all from scratch. Frankly, it likely would have cost more time and money to have the wedding we wanted (and which VDA delivered) if we had to do everything on our own, so in our minds it was a very sound investment.
Day-of coordinators were on point. Speaking as the groom, I never felt lost or otherwise at a loss for “what to do next,” and if I did have a question, it only took a moment to scan the room to find a coordinator, and they would immediately come over to help me out. The same can be said for the wedding party as well: If there were ever any need, the coordinators were easy to spot, and quick to attend to those questions.
(My only regret WOULD have been that I did not have time to enjoy any of the taco bar. As we were packing up for the night and leaving the venue, one of the coordinators provided me with a plate filled with tacos, despite my having not mentioned my disappointment. Again, they are INCREDIBLY attentive!)
The venue itself needs no exaggeration: The beautiful scenery and décor are accurately depicted, and you have so much flexibility in customizing each area for yourself and your guests to relax, have fun, or revel in the moment.
It was a bit warm the day of the wedding (apx. 93 F), but our guests were well attended to with ice water and parasols during the outdoor ceremony. Cooling did not appear to be a problem inside, and by the early evening, there was a refreshing breeze that took any remaining edge off.
The cigar bar was a last-minute addition, and we were concerned it may have been a flop. But the stunning and inviting décor that VDA assembled as part of this feature instantly drew many members of our family, and was perhaps a “hot spot” as far as conversation, fun, and photos.
Vendors that work with and are familiar with VDA were all wonderful, including Elegance on Display, Captured Photos Booths, Leah Marie Photography, and Ross Creations.
Thanks for the memories!

We had our wedding at VDA just about two weeks ago and are still on cloud 9 from it! This was a destination wedding for us and most of our guests travelled to California from the East coast. Our guests have been absolutely RAVING about how beautiful this venue is, how great the food was and just how much fun they had at our wedding. From a planning standpoint, I don’t have anything but great things to say! Planning from across the country was made easy because this is an all inclusive venue. It is amazing to work with vendors who have all really worked together before. It made things so much easier for us and the day really went off flawlessly. Our coordinator Karen was beyond helpful leading up to the wedding and even more so on the day of. Mandi did a zoom call with us to help us select all the details and florals that all came out absolutely beautiful. My whole vision came to life. The staff at VDA are truly professionals and experts in hosting weddings. They run like a well oiled machine! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is thinking of it as a “maybe”. The pictures just don’t do it justice - it is a stunning place to have your wedding! Thank you VDA for helping us to create our dream wedding!!
As the mother of the bride, I am simply overwhelmed with how enchanted and magical the whole wedding/evening was. I never dreamed it would come out as well as it did. All the staff is so professional and accommodating. The whole event was like a dream. The minister made the ceremony so memorable and touching; the cocktail hour felt like we were in Beverly Hills; the dinner was divine and so delicious and so filling; the personable DJ made the evening fun filled; the cake cutting in the rose garden was enchanted; the bar tenders were 5 star; and all the workers including the wedding coordinator were stellar. We had a cigar bar and it was a huge hit and looked like it came from a Hollywood movie set. I highly, highly recommend this venue. They were so easy to work with and so professional. It was truly a dream come true for us!
We truly cannot thank you VDA enough for creating such a magical wedding day for us. My husband and I both agree it was, no doubt, the best day of our lives.
VDA is absolute perfection from the breathtaking bridal suite, to the elegant cocktail hour with a pianist and endless photo opportunities, to the sleek cigar bar (which was a huge hit!!!), to the stunning ballroom, to the incredible, super attentive and knowledgeable team.
Every single VDA member was amazing. David and Eileen were accommodating every step of the way and answered all questions quickly. Mandi's designs were stunning, and we could tell she truly took note of our requests. Karen, our day of coordinator was sooo sweet and meticulous. All of their recommended vendors were fabulous, and we received so many compliments on the food.
Would highly recommend this venue to all!!! It offers the convenience of an all inclusive package yet has the flexibility to create the wedding of your dreams.
We hosted our wedding at Villa de Amore in March, and everything was absolutely stunning and more beautiful than I could imagine. The venue was beautifully decorated with elegant floral displays, breathtaking views, and plenty of picturesque spaces for guests to mingle and dance the night away.
David, Eileen and the staff at VDA are all incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating. The food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks were expertly crafted and served with a smile, the cake and dessert treats were all so delicious and beautifully presented. My flowers were stunningly gorgeous and I cannot thank Mandi and Veronica enough for creating such a beautiful bouquet.
I had the pleasure of working with Brittany as my day of wedding coordinator, and I can confidently say that she was an essential part of making the day run so seamlessly. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and attentive to details. Throughout the day, Brittany was incredibly kind, calming, and supportive. She kept everyone on schedule throughout the day, helped troubleshoot any issues that arose, and allowed me to enjoy the day to the fullest. I also have to thank DJ Ross for being fantastic to work with, helping make the day run smoothly, taking the time to make sure we have all the details and timing correct, and creating some unforgettable moments with the cold sparks.
The end result was truly unforgettable. The wedding was absolutely stunning, and everything ran like clockwork thanks to the professionalism of the entire staff. I received countless compliments from my guests about how beautiful and well-organized the day was. Everyone at VDA was a pleasure to work with, and helped make my wedding day one that I will cherish forever.
Villa De Amore felt like family. From Mandy and Veronica working on design with us and getting to know us as a couple to Karen walking us through the day like a fairy godmother. It was truly a magical experience. I couldn’t imagine a better venue and group to work with. We also chose Melissa for photography and Ross for our DJ, and both of them went above and beyond.
I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! From start to finish, Villa de Amore made our daughters wedding a dream come true. The wedding coordinator was on top and meet all our needs which were a LOT. They are prompt, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. We made last min changes and their calm reaction and helpfulness did not go unnoticed. The venue is breathtaking with every theme and need you could possible want. The service is spectacular. My guests said it was the best wedding venue and food they have every had. On that note the portions were amazing. I got the salmon and couldn't finish it. The bartenders made amazing drinks and people rarely had to wait. The night started and ended perfectly, I am beyond happy with our experience. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Temecula, hands down this is the best. This is what they do and specialize in it. You won’t regret it!!!!
I had my wedding 2/18/23 and I had such a magical experience with Villa de Amore. My day of coordinator, Brittany, was so great communicating with me and navigating the bridal party to stay on schedule in a gentle way. I did not feel stressed at all. The venue itself is gorgeous and had so many places to take photos and is spacious.
I appreciated the venue being all inclusive in which they have venders that are familiar with the area and prioritize weddings. The cake that we ordered from the vendor was just as delicious as when we tried it during cake tasting. DJ Ross had everyone dancing and having a great time.
I highly recommend getting married at this location. It was wonderful to see the design team and florals become a reality from my simple Pinterest boards. I got so many compliments on the food so thank you catering and to the bartenders for providing great service. The venue has a design team that will really create your dream wedding. I cannot thank you enough for the details and artistry that made our wedding unique to us.
If I could rate more than 5 starts I would. This all inclusive venue will make the brides wedding planning a breeze. For a set price they include flowers, food, appetizers, pianist, cake, coordinator, DJ, late night taco stand and much more. I am not a crafty person and I absolute hate party planning so when I came a cross a venue that offers it all; my decision to elect Villa De Amor was easy. The customer service was outstanding and the organization exceeded my expectation. And the venue it’s self is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My wedding was in February and the grounds were green and lively. Not to mention we got a good amount of rain in the weeks leading up to the wedding so although the vineyards were empty they still looked green. The last item that stood out to me was that they basically have a home goods storage in the back so I got to go in there and select all the furniture and decor. It doesn’t get better than this.
If u don’t want to have to worry about all the small nuances and all the little details, i would HIGHLY recommend using this company. I felt like I had so little to actually worry about when it came to the wedding. They catered to my every need and were so pleasant to work. Even when it came to last minute changes. If you want a stress free wedding, book through villa de amore, you won’t regret it :)
My husband and I had our wedding ceremony & reception at Villa De Amore in December 2022. We explored multiple venues before our appointment with Villa. I had walked through what felt like 100s of venues, but when we walked up to Villa I got “that feeling” & knew we were about to walk through our wedding site.
The wedding planning process with Villa and all the associates there was a dream. When they say all inclusive, they really mean it! Everytime we communicated, messages were clear, helpful and organized. I can’t imagine doing my wedding anywhere else or any other way. Weddings are crazy stressful and Villa really did their best to make it as smooth as they could.
When the wedding day arrived, they made my day better than I could imagine. From catering, the bakery, design, photograph and the dj everything was beyond my expectations. Villa De Amore gave us the wedding of my dreams! We can’t wait to receive our professional photos as we have been reliving our day ever since!
Thank you Villa De Amore for being a major part of our love story!

My husband and I had our wedding at VDA in April 2022, and we were extremely happy about how it went.
The venue is stunningly beautiful! The pictures speak for themselves. We had our wedding ceremony at the vineyard gate, cocktails on the patio, dinner in the courtyard, cake cutting in the rose garden, and dancing in the ballroom. It really felt like 4 or 5 different venues in one that guests progress through over the course ot the night.
The all inclusive packagage makes planning very straight-forward and it includes a lot--a full 8 hrs of use of the property (much longer and more private than surrounding wineries), trailers worth of design and decor items that you can choose from (saving lots of money in rentals), floral, catering, linens, photography, DJ, etc. Laura, the coordinator, was amazing! She and her assistant handled everything smoothly, answered every question, and anticipated our needs throughout the night. The floral and design turned out just as I imagined. We requested some additional florals beyond what is typically included, and it was executed perfectly.
My only recommendation--if you are requesting/paying for extras outside of the standard package, make sure to check in on those requests the week of the ceremony to make sure they happen.
Overall, a beautiful venue, a smooth wedding day, and memories that we will cherish forever. It's been almost 4 months, and I'm still aglow and so happy about how things turned out. Thank you VDA!
Everything on our wedding day was very well coordinated and the venue did an amazing job. It was extremely convenient having all inclusive services with the catering, cake, DJ, photography, floral, design, and day of coordinator all included. I did not need a wedding planner and was able to coordinate everything easily and within good time frame. There were no surprises with the services and everything went much better than we had expected. The food tasted much better the day of the wedding compared to the tasting. The cake was moist and delicious, and super cutely decorated with cake toppers that we provided. One of the biggest advantages is that we supplied our own alcohol, going from recipes with our signature drinks to the types of beers, wines, and liquor. This saved us a lot of money, and we took home everything that wasn't used. The DJ, florist, and designer of the overall venue were all very accommodating and were able to do anything that we requested. The venue is also extremely beautiful, especially during summer months with the lush vineyards.
We were overall extremely happy with the venue and the wedding overall. We were able to throw a very well planned and coordinated party for 80 people at a beautiful location at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend.
Highly recommend, especially for couples having a destination wedding! We planned this wedding from Ohio, and only had to make a trip out to CA one time. We loved that the venue was all-inclusive, it made it much easier on us out-of-towners. Also, after having our rehearsal dinner at a public vineyard, we were glad that we chose a venue for our wedding that was private just to us and our guests. You can tell that the staff at VDA are truly experts at what they do. Our wedding day could not have run any smoother! Laura was wonderful to work with and truly a calming presence on the day of. Any little adjustments needed were done quickly. Our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and we truly felt it looked like our wedding cost double what we actually paid! The food was delicious, cocktails were made beautifully, and our desserts were devoured (not a single bite left)! I had worked with Ross (the DJ) up until about two weeks before the wedding, before he told us one of his employees would be working our wedding. I'm fine with that, I would just have liked to have known earlier because everything I relayed to Ross I had to relay again to Henry. Ross had not really passed on anything we had already talked about. Henry was super nice and easy to work with, played my requests, and even was super nice and let my dad (a fellow wedding DJ) play for 30 minutes at the reception! Mandy, our photographer with The Studio, was super upbeat, friendly, and knew exactly how to pose us and where the best shots were. We don't have our photos back yet, but I am sure they will be amazing! I cannot recommend this venue enough. They made the whole wedding planning process about as easy as possible, especially from all the way across the country!
We loved getting married here! Planning was a piece of cake, the venue itself is gorgeous, and the day of everything went more smoothly than I could imagine. Many of the members of our family and wedding party commented how it was the smoothest and best run wedding they've been part of.
The catering was delicious - much tastier the night of the wedding than when we did our tasting to select the menu too. They were able to accommodate many dietary restrictions (food allergies, sensitivities, and dietary preferences).
The design and floral turned out amazing. They were so easy to work with and it was really fun walking around looking at the different items in the storage. I felt like they truly understood our vision (even though my Pinterest board was a little all over the place) and everything was more beautiful than I could have expected.
The biggest shoutout goes to Laura - we were supposed to do dinner outside but had to move it inside last minute due to the cold weather. We made the call around 2pm the day of the wedding with a 3:00pm ceremony start time and the dinner tables were setup in the ballroom and looked amazing in no time. I seriously don't know how they pulled it off, but the whole team there is amazing! Savannah also kept me sane, and even used her headset to phone in an extra drink for the groom when our photos were taking a little longer than planned.
If I could get married there again, I'd do it over in a heartbeat!
We used all preferred vendors and brought in an ice cream cart to augment the dessert spread. The cake from Elegance on Display was delicious (especially the lemon cake with raspberry layers) and gorgeous. The Studio photographer was kind and knowledgeable about the venue and Adrianna, our lead photographer, greeted me at the limo with an umbrella because it was lightly drizzling, and she made sure to keep my hair nice. We haven't gotten photos back yet to comment more on them. We booked videography through The Studio as well, and we did not like our video, but we're excited to see our photos! Ross, the DJ, was so fun to work with and helped provide good guidance for selecting key songs. He had the night running smoothly and the dance floor was packed the whole night!
would highly recommend this venue. Unlike traditional wineries, you are the only wedding happening and it is not open to the public. The wedding coordinators are amazing and there are so many spectacular places to take photos.
Villa de Amore staff were amazing! The design team made my day beautiful and exactly as we had discussed at the design meeting. The food was excellent, everyone loved each dish. Laura, the wedding coordinator was fabulous to work with! The DJ is very good at what he does and is very nice and personable. His photo booth person not so much. She was rude and wouldn’t let kids take pics by themselves even though she was pushing all the buttons for people. My one disappointment is that my bouquet was set somewhere unattended and I found out later that it was passed among guests who took pictures with it. This upset me enormously since I was planning on preserving it and had a precious picture charm of my late father that was close to falling off by the time I got it back. Also, if you hire Lisa Marie photography (one of their vendors) demand it be Lisa Marie. We got one of her staff and the photos were literally through a list of poses and point and shoot. We had better photos from friends iPhones. They also did not do table pictures as they were instructed in our final request meeting, so we did not get pictures with everyone like we had wanted. Bottom line Villa de Amore made my wedding gorgeous and the food and drinks on point. DJ incorporated our music requests and also kept the night going well. Be ware of the photographer and photo booth. And if you want to preserve your bouquet be clear it needs to be kept in a safe place, although you might have people who have more respect than some of my guests.
Beautiful venue and amazing that it is all-inclusive and BYOB. I was a Covid bride and didn't have any of the horror stories that other brides did with Villa De Amore, but there were a few small issues that VDA could improve on. At our food tasting, we had decided to do a swap of salmon instead of cod. I confirmed with them that they understood our swap. And then the day of our wedding it was wrong and didn't match the beautiful menus I had brought in. Also I had asked to do one long table for dinner under the gazebo for our wedding party. I showed up to our reception and it was 3 tables. If it was going to be an issue, I just would've liked someone to tell me about it instead of being surprised when I walked into my reception. Very small catering issues in an otherwise perfect day!
After searching many venues, we found Villa de Amore and we are so happy we went ahead and booked them for our wedding! It really does include almost everything but the dress… stunning views, beautiful bridal suite, photographer, florist, baker, catering, linen, design, officiant, coordinator, DJ… amazing!
Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful but VDA made the transition smooth. It was definitely a plus having almost all the vendors we needed through VDA because that meant I didn’t have to worry about reaching out to multiple vendors to see if they were available for the new wedding date; we simply told VDA the new date we wanted and they took care of the rest!
Huge thank you to Laura, our coordinator! She. Is. Amazing. Always on top of things, answered all of my emails in a timely manner, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of :)
The entire team goes above and beyond… they keep in touch with you throughout the wedding process, make sure all of your questions are answered, and are very professional.
David, Eileen and the rest of the VDA team, thank you all so much for everything you did. Our wedding was beautiful; we and our guests had an amazing time. We can’t wait to come back and visit!
Future brides and grooms, RUN and DO NOT look back!! I like to echo all the couples who had a horrible experience with Villa De Amore during this time. My husband and I were supposed to get married in late June and of course, that did not happen because of the pandemic. Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest and joyful event in your life, however, dealing with Eileen and David during this pandemic was nothing, but STRESS and HEADACHES. They claim to be a family owned business, but unfortunately, all they care about is money!
We reached out to Villa De Amore in March of 2020, three months before our wedding, expressing our concerns about if our wedding was going to happen in June. If it was not going to happen as it states in our contract, we were looking for a refund and not a postponement.
David stated that he did not know if they could have our wedding, but told us to wait until 30 days prior to our wedding date for his decision. We had also asked if they would honor their force majeure in their contact, and at the time, David said their insurance would review our claim. This gave us hope that would honor this clause in our contract. As the days and months went by, cases of Covid continued to rise and it didn't look like we would be able to hold our wedding. In May, a few days before we hit the 30-day mark, I called Riverside County and they confirmed with me that NO businesses were allowed to conduct weddings at that time. I also called a few wineries in Temecula, and ALL of them said they have already postponed or refunded all their couples. Once again, I reached out to David and Eileen about what Riverside County and other wineries had said and done, but again, they said they do not know whether they could hold our wedding and also added, that they WILL NOT refund our money and that our only option is to choose an undesirable date for the future (in my opinion). Our wedding is a destination wedding for us and the majority of our guests, so we were not going to risk their safety in having our wedding there. What was even worse, was that two weeks prior to our wedding, Eileen had the nerve to email us and said that they got the okay to hold our wedding and send them our final count. As we all know now and back then, we were clearly still in the middle of the pandemic, and weddings were still not allowed at that time! At this point, we knew we could not trust them. During this time, they did nothing, but misled us with false information and acted as if they were above the law as they decided not to listen to the state and county orders. We clearly DID NOT continue our business with them and hired a lawyer. In July, we were notified that Villa De Amore had a Temporary Restraining Order from Riverside County stating that they were to stop holding, offering, and hosting wedding receptions. Also that the court finds that Villa De Amore was an immediate threat to the public's health. Their TRO also got extended to September and that's when it ended.
Any good business would recognize our current situation and do the right thing and honor what's in the contract. Villa de Amore could not perform their obligations in our contract than we are entitled to our money back. Take your hard-earned money elsewhere, because they sure do not care about you, your family, and your friend's safety! If I could go back in time, I WOULD NEVER have trusted Villa De Amore to have my once and lifetime wedding. You deserve better!!
What a two year ride it has been with Villa De Amore trying to plan a wedding during 2020. Lets start with the beginning. When we first arrived at VDA in 2018 after touring five possible winery event sites, we both knew immediately that we wanted to get married at VDA. This place is breath taking, unique, and your guests will absolutely be impressed. The pitch is all you need to do is show up with your dress and suit on your wedding day. Everything else is taken care of. We were sold (I was sold on the midnight taco bar).
When we got the announcement that our wedding was canceled due to COVID a week before the wedding, we were devastated. VDA did everything in their power to make the date transfer as seamless as possible. They took care of us and the vendors. Anytime we had questions or nerves, they were always happy to talk with us and make sure all the plans are ironed out.
The entire team and vendors were extremely professional. We had two sites, three different wedding plans, and an ever changing guest list. With all that, we did not have a single thing go wrong on our wedding. The wedding was beyond our expectations and we even planned it with them.
Look no further if you are planning on getting married in Temecula. We could not recommend them more and we know you will be just as happy as we are with having your wedding at VDA. Thank you for being our shining moment in one of the hardest years. ~ Jessica and Dan
We had our wedding in San Diego but we don't live there, so the whole process of choosing vendors was a little tricky. But choosing VDA for our venue was one of the easiest decisions we had to make. VDA is all-inclusive in terms of making the planning as easy as possible, but they really help you create your unique vision, which we didn't see from other all-inclusive venues we visited. The property is stunning. My husband and I not only loved the property and the price, but we really felt great supporting this family business and their vision... the ownership and staff are warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. My family and guests gave us so many compliments on our "planning," saying the flow of the day was impeccable, but honestly we barely did anything. It was all Laura, Monique, the Catering team, and everyone else at VDA. We hope they add a restaurant so we can come back and visit. I can't say enough good things. Thank you to the whole team!
We LOVE Villa de Amore. What an incredible place to have our wedding. It was everything we have dreamed of and more. Everyone was super personable and professional. They made sure we were happy at all times and were very timely with everything. I was stressed free my entire day. Thank you Villa de Amore for going above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we wanted. We are so thankful for you!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. They took away all the stresses of wedding planning! Their package includes: Venue, florals, decor, DJ, photographer, cake/desserts and everything else you can possibly think of. The only thing you need to bring is alcohol and they provide mixers! Also of note, you don't have to go with their provided photographers, ministers etc. We personally chose a different photographer (not to say theirs weren't amazing!) and didn't use their minister. In the case you don't use their services there is a discount provided off the package total.
Laura the coordinator is an angel sent from heaven. She not only answered every single on of my scatter brained questions leading up to the big day but she also was amazing during the rehearsal and big day! Many of my friends commented on how patient and nice she was. I truly owe my amazing wedding experience to her. I was never stressed out and I seriously had the best day of my life (so did my husband haha)
The cake and desserts were made by elegance on display and she truly brought my vision to life. She was also very patient (I changed my cake design like 3 times after our initial meeting). The desserts were delicious and everything was devoured within minutes.
The food was done by their in house catering. We had 3 passed appetizers, a salad and main course. We had the beef short rib and chicken marsala as our main choices (they also provide a vegetarian/vegan option) and wow they were so delicious. It didn't taste like typical wedding catering and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their meals.
Decor and flowers. Wow wow wow wow. Monique and Aimee brought my vision to life. We had our walk through and went through what we liked and didn't like and she put together the entire decor and it was stunning. Same with our flowers! Everything was so beautiful and I didn't have to pick out anything. They took care of everything from the ceremony decor to centerpieces to random signs and a cigar table. It was just so beautiful.
DJ Ross made our first dance and song theme so special. We had a greatest showman theme and prior to the wedding we discussed what we wanted and he created a custom version of the song to fit the timing of our grand entrance. He was such a joy to work with and if I ever need a DJ again he will be at the top of my life. He's honestly just a cool guy who knows how to read a crowd and get them pumped up!
Lastly the venue is stunning. From the piano bar room to the vineyard views, there's a photo op for everyone. The staff are so welcoming and everyone said the service was impeccable. The bartenders and servers were so nice. They have security as well and she was a riot! I truly loved everything about this place. Please do not hesitate to book this venue. They will take away all of your stress and make your wedding the best day of your life!
My husband and I visited many different wineries and wedding venues in Temecula before deciding on Villa de Amore, and we are so glad we did. We found out about VDA because we had attended a wedding there the year prior! We loved the setting, the food, the street tacos. So we already knew that they could pull off a great event.
Price
Price was great for what you get. Other wineries had comparable costs, but did not include cake, DJ, officiant or photographer. VDA includes all those vendors PLUS the catering and bar staff.
Food
Food was absolutely delicious! As a vegetarian, I’m always disappointed by the sad token vegetarian entree at weddings - or by having to just eat sides and bread. They had several vegetarian options on the menu, but none that really spoke to me. So the chef worked with me to create a summer pasta just the way I wanted it!
Bar
There are 2 huge bar perks for VDA. The first is that they allow you to bring in your own alcohol. We were quoted $13k for beer and wine open bar at most other wineries. With VDA, we spent about $5k on Wilson Creek wine, and beer and liquor from Costco, and had plenty left over. Second, VDA has a liquor license. Most of the other wineries in the area will only allow beer and wine.
Setting
You just can’t get better than VDA for setting. All the wineries are gorgeous, but because VDA is specifically designed as a wedding venue, they’ve set up SO many photo opps. We got married in the vineyard, had cocktail hour on the patio and had dinner in the courtyard, before moving inside to the dance floor. All of our attendees STILL have photos they took at the venue as their Facebook profile photos, 4 months later! From the vineyard to the vine-covered hoopla, to the twinkle lights and fountain in the courtyard, to the lit awning where the cake is cut, to the rustic truck on-site, there are endless photo opps for you, your wedding party and your guests.
Staff
Staff is the best! Eileen is delightful, and Laura is so nice and so easy to work with. Monique is a very talented designer and Amy the caterer is so talented. Ross the DJ was also attentive and charismatic.
We got married at Villa de Amore in May 2019. We always imagined that planning a wedding was going to be one of the most stressful things we would ever have to do but thankfully this was not the case. Choosing Villa de Amore as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have ever made. David and the rest of the VDA team were incredibly helpful, organized, and responsive. The venue already has a list of vendors that they work with so it removed all the stress from having to find vendors and coordinating with the venue. Monique was our wedding designer and helped customize the venue space with the abundance of accessories they have to choose from. She helped bring our vision to life, working very hard to make sure every detail at each space was perfect. Robin was our florists who helped bring our color scheme to life. She did a beautiful job with all our floral displays making it look like we spent a lot more money on flowers than we really did. Aimee is the head of catering at VDA and her team were wonderful with our guest during cocktail and dinner. The food was delicious!! Elegance in Display helped make our dessert table dream come true. Too many delicious desserts to choose from. Ross Creations played all the right music and kept our guests dancing the night away. Our photographers Adventure Stories captured every single emotion and moment beautifully. Last but not least, Laura our day of coordinator was top notch. She made sure everything that day ran smoothly making the day an absolute dream. The venue itself is beautiful with sparkling twinkle lights and amazing views all around the property. Our guests still rave about the venue to this day. We highly recommend Villa de Amore to anyone and we can’t thank them enough for making a wedding day dream come true!
We had our wedding at Villa de Amore in August 2019 and could not have been happier. From the very beginning, David and the rest of the VDA team were incredibly helpful and responsive. The venue itself is absolutely magical, with endless photo opportunities including vineyards, vintage accessories, and sparkling twinkle lights all around the property. The views of the property and surrounding area at sunset were gorgeous. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was.
For an all-inclusive venue, we were able to work with their designer Monique to customize the ceremony space, flowers, linens, accessories, photo op spaces, etc. to ensure the entire experience was unique to our vision. The ability to provide input on all aspects of the wedding, while removing the stress of having to find vendors, was invaluable. We also saved a lot of money by not being tied to a bar package, as you are responsible for providing your own alcohol.
VDA's day of coordinator Laura was also a life saver in making sure the rehearsal and wedding day flowed smoothly. We were able to fit in all of our reception traditions and still had time to eat, mingle, and dance.
All of VDA's vendors including Ross Creations (DJ), Elegance on Display (cake), and The Studio by Leah Marie (photography) were top notch. Their experience with the venue and VDA staff made everything seamless and their work helped create the perfect day.
I simply cannot think of a better wedding venue, from the staff, to the planning process, to the absolutely perfect day. We are so grateful to everyone at VDA for making our wedding day a truly unforgettable experience. Many of our guests agreed it was the best wedding they had ever been too!
We HIGHLY recommend VDA to anyone looking for stress-free wedding planning at the perfect venue. Thank you Villa de Amore for making our wedding day a dream come true!!
Hands down going all inclusive is the way to go with Villa de Amore. I had to plan a wedding out of state and the entire staff was so responsive. The vendors they have chosen for you to choose from were also amazing to work with. The food was above and beyond! We had guests say that was the best food they’ve had a wedding. Laura the coordinator was so amazing to work with. She kept everyone on time and made everything run so smoothly. The entire family on both sides were so appreciative of her! Monique who does the design hit it on the nail with my style and Robin who does the flowers could not have done any better! 10/10 recommend villa de Amore if you don’t want to stress finding vendors/coordinating and decorating. The venue itself is beautiful!
Villa de Amore is the perfect wedding venue. We got married there in July 2019, and it was absolutely amazing. The natural beauty of the place is stunning. Flowers, fountains, statues, and endless photo ops. Several guests who attended our wedding are seriously considering using the venue for their own weddings or their kids’ weddings. They could not stop talking about the place. I think most guests who went to that wedding now have a photo of themselves somewhere at the venue as their new profile pic on social media. It was that gorgeous. The sunset over the beautiful Temecula hills was an incredible addition.
This venue has preferred vendors (florist, baker, photographer, DJ, etc), who, if you choose to them, can be included in your price of the venue. It’s nice to make all of your payments in one place. We still got to work with each of the vendors individually and have our own meetings and planning sessions with them, but it was nice knowing that they are used to working at Villa de Amore and have that solid contact and relationship with the venue.
Besides the beauty of this place, the staff is just as incredible. Laura is the day of coordinator, and she went through every detail with us while making it seem like a breeze. She was super fast to respond to emails and questions from me. I felt confident on the big day that she had every detail taken care of, and I could relax and enjoy it.
Aimee was our caterer, and she made our guests very happy with all the delicious food. At our first food tasting she made us feel very taken care of and explained everything. She even accommodated us to come back a second time to make sure we got the menu perfect.
Monique, the designer, made our wedding vision come to life. We were looking for a dark vintage theme, and I sent her pictures and ideas ahead of time. We then met with her to discuss and pick out decor, and she knew exactly what we were looking for. We had the best time looking through the venue’s supply of old antiques, beautiful vintage couches, and every shade and style of picture frames, candle holders, and vases you could ask for. She was quick to respond to any emails and questions from me as well. At the wedding, her choices on how to display the things we liked was impeccable. She came through 110%, and her stylized choices were a highlight of the wedding. Thank you so much Monique for your creativity and attention to detail.
The rest of the staff was great as well, including Diana the security guard, who had my back all night and kept me from getting lost. She was even dancing at the end of the night by the entrance while we all danced at the reception. Eileen gave our initial venue tour, and her love and pride for the place was inspiring. David helped me over email, and Marcella helped us pick out our linens and reception table details.
We used the venue’s preferred DJ, Ross Creations, their preferred baker, Elegance on Display, their preferred florist, as well as one of their preferred photographers, Adventure Stories by Us, who I was over the top impressed with, and for whom I’m leaving glowing reviews on their own respective pages.
Villa de Amore was the perfect platform on which to have the biggest event our lives. The beauty of the space along with Monique’s decor and the professionalism and efficiency of the staff made our wedding the highlight of the summer. Thank you VDA, for everything.
Villa de Amore was made into the perfect place for a wedding. With amazing location for the bride and groom to take their pictures, to even your guest being able to wander the property and take their own pictures.
David, Aimee, Monique, Eileen & Laura made the whole wedding planning process so simple and easy. the hardest part was dealing with the seating chart. Laura was just fantastic the day of our wedding, she had everything taken care of and so just so amazing. She went out of her way to make sure nothing was wrong. she was running all over.
DJ Ross did an outstanding job, played the perfect songs and just had an amazing personality to go with it. the baked good i hear were amazing. i would know because all my guest ate them all before dinner was even served they were that good.
We got our pictures back from the photographer with her skills and the scenery all around the Villa de Amore property. all i can say is breathtaking. they can both work wonders on my looks.
We had our wedding at Villa de Amore last month and it was THE BEST decision ever. The wedding venue was beautiful, romantic and dreamy. Every corner was an Instagram-perfect photo op!
Our VDA designer, Monique, decorated the already beautiful venue with props and "photo stations" that made our pictures even more stunning. She was very patient in helping me find the props I needed to portray the "Coco Chanel meets Great Gatsby" style that I wanted. The best part of all is that these props are included in the picture. I love Monique and appreciate her so much!
Laura, the VDA coordinator, has been super helpful during the whole wedding planning process and her expertise truly shined on our big day. She orchestrated a very smooth wedding day and we were on time for everything activity as planned. She was also very professional and quick in replying all of my emails and messages. I could not have asked for a better coordinator.
The food for our wedding, including both appetizers and entrees were exceptional. We chose the crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms, and cheese/bread/fruit platter for appetizers and ribeye steak and swordfish for our guest entrees. Our guests absolutely loved the food and we are still getting compliments almost a month after! Lastly, the bartenders were friendly and quick with the drinks there was barely a line.
We cannot thank the VDA team enough for making our wedding dream come true. I've done my research on many wedding venues both in the Bay Area and Socal and VDA ranks #1 in my books in terms of venue, food, service and value. I am so glad we chose VDA for our big day!
My husband and I got married at Villa de Amore May 2019.I would give this place 10 stars if I could.
The moment we had stepped foot on the property we knew we had to get married at this beautiful place.
The coordination with the Villa is as simple as it gets. You get a response to any of your questions within a day or two and David is absolutely on top of things.
The day of the wedding was an absolute dream. The flowers came out stunning, Robin is a true artist and did an amazing job with the flowers.
Monique is the Villa's secret weapon! She makes any of your wedding visions come true and will decorate the whole venue in a the most pictures set ups. She has a true eye for details and personalized the venue perfectly for our wedding.
The food was absolutely delicious. People loved the appetizers and dinner, the big portions and quality of food, as well as the late night tacos. The food was an absolute hit.
The venue lets you bring your own alcohol which we absolutely loved. The bartenders and dinner staff was on top of it. Quick and friendly service! We couldn't have asked for more.
DJ Ross was great! He played good music and kept the crowd dancing.
We got our cake from Elegance on Display and absolutely loved the way it turned out. It looked absolutely beautiful and tasted incredible.
Laura the Coordinator is a true hero. She made sure that my husband and I had the most amazing day and that we had nothing to worry about. She coordinated guests, made sure everyone was taken care off, kept the day organized and most importantely made sure that bride and groom were happy and had a drink in their hand. She is amazing and I don't know what we would have done without her.
The Villa is a dream venue come true. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful this place is and how well taken care off everyone felt.
Wedding planning becomes so easy with this venue. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate booking. It is a stress-free and effortless way of celebrating the most important day of your life. The Villa takes care of everything without you having to worry about planning the little details. You can actually enjoy the wedding process :)
We are so happy that we got to celebrate our wedding at this stunning venue. Villa de Amore turned our dreams into reality! We had the most amazing day
We just got married here at the Villa 6/9/2019. Everything was absolutely beautiful. You really have to experience and see this place to actually appreciate it. The day was literally a blur and went by so fast. But have no regrets. We did everything we wanted to. Our ceremony started at 4p.m. It lasted about 20-25 minutes. We made sure we had some alone time with my new husband right after the ceremony. Adventure Stories(great husband-wife)duo were able to get us to cocktail hour for about 15 minutes. This was awesome. We actually ate dinner (a miracle) then it was off to more photos. We had about 75 guests and I swear it felt like all we did was take photos/video. With 75 guests, it was still hard to remember who came and greet everyone. But we did. Barely! Laura was awesome! The food was great, make sure you eat. I even had the street tacos at the end of the night. All in all, brides make sure you soak up the day because it goes by so fast. The Villa is a beautiful venue and I am blessed that we were able to get married here. I would definitely recommend. Guests absolutely raved about it.
I just got married here 6/1/19. The Villa provided my husband and I a FAIRYTALE wedding! Everything was absolutely perfect. This venue takes out so much of the stress that goes along with planning a wedding. First off your day of coordinator Laura is a god send. She can fix everything! Even sewed my dress when people stepped on it and broke it. Flowers and food were beyond amazing! Monique the designer created everything so beautifully. My photographer Adventure Stories’s by Us were so amazing! My guests can not stop talking about how amazing our wedding was and say it’s the most elegant wedding they have ever been too. This place will give you a dream wedding. Everyone should want to get married here!
Best wedding experience & day of our lives! We are so grateful for the entire staff at this venue for making the process easy & fun. The owner Eileen and her son David have thought of everything to make this the wedding of your dreams. To the all-inclusive format to make picking/communicating with vendors as well as making payments, to their amazing staff of people who are beyond helpful, kind and organized, to the amount of customization options you have to make the wedding all about you - we were blown away. The grounds are beautiful, private, and allow for so many picture opportunities.
The food is spectacular and they even do late night tacos. So many options to choose from and it all is amazing.
The florals are done in house by Robin and she is a mastermind who is so fun to work with.
Villa de Amore pairs couples up with design specialist Monique who makes your wedding vision come to life. She works with you to pick through their own personal wedding home goods pods to select items that you would like displayed on your wedding day as decor. This alone saves couples so much money since you can pick and design your day however you'd like using their endless supplies.
Ross the DJ is so helpful and will play only what you ask him to. He makes the process so fun and is there to support and make the music vibe you want. We loved working with him and he did an amazing job keeping our families dancing all night.
Laura the coordinator is AMAZING. She is there to provide all support to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible. Leading up to the wedding she helps keep you organized with what all items need to be brought to the venue and the day of she is super woman. We are so grateful for her! She even made sure we had time to eat and we saw her jump behind the bar to serve drinks when the line got long.
Needless to say, this place is one in a million! So many of the wineries in Temecula charge an arm and a leg for the catering and bar service and you don't have much privacy. At Villa de Amore they have totally changed the game when it comes to wedding and provide an amazing planning experience as well as day of experience. If we could get married here again just to relive the day we would! Hats off to Eileen and all the staff at VDA. We are blown away and so happy with our experience.
We do not have enough good things to say about Villa de Amore. We seriously can't find a single thing to complain about. From the beginning, David was very welcoming and knowledgeable and truly made our first impression a memorable one. Robin, the florist, did an amazing job with the flower arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres and really channeled the natural look we were going for. The designer, Monique, did a phenomenal job with the decor. She was able to capture our vision without the need to plan every last detail ourselves, which really made the planning process much easier. Villa Catering was amazing. Everyone raved about the food and service (including us). Laura, the coordinator, made sure everything went flawlessly. The team uses earpieces to coordinate across the venue so everyone is in sync. Even our outside video vendor commented on how well run Villa was and they shoot weddings at different venues every weekend. We truly couldn't have been happier with the day, the venue, and the service, right down to the security guard. Thank you, Villa!
My daughter was married at Villa de Amore in March 2, 2019 and it had rained the entire week including the day of the wedding. The staff made everything so perfect that the fact it rained just didn’t matter! Everything was moved indoors and looked just perfect. Fun was had by all and the food, the food! Just the best food! Not your typical “wedding” meal but a 5 star dining event! The wedding coordinator is also 5 star! I want to do it all over again!
The perfect day for my daughter and my new son in law! I’m a VERY “wordy” person but everything about the wedding day (and rehearsal) was so perfect, it has taken me two weeks to compile how to express how amazing everything actually was. Let me start by saying that I am generally the planner of ALL parties and celebrations for my family as well as my company so when my daughter and her fiancé found Villa de Amore and told me that they were going to make all of the decisions on their own with the guidance/assistance/suggestions of the staff at VDA, I was shocked and a bit skeptical. They are everything and more!
Eileen/David/Aimee: A family owned business and they all truly care about each client that comes there way. Every time to reach out with any type of questions they are quick to respond and guide you through the process. You need to realize that even though you hopefully will only be doing the wedding thing once, they handle weddings daily so let them go ahead and be the experts. They have the patience of Saints.
Oh my goodness the food was excellent! I am a big foodie and I loved it all. Everyone could not stop talking about how good each bite was!
Laura: The day of (and rehearsal) coordinator. This seems too small of a title for her. She should be called the “Day of EXTRAODINARE”. Laura is the sweetest person! Someday I would love to work along side her. She gently herded our family and guests like cats as we wondered around looking at everything. She was always there when you needed something but never in the way. It’s like she knew what you needed it before you did. My daughter had a tiny issue with the boning in her dress poking her side and Laura quickly grabbed some thread and stitch my daughter right into her wedding dress while she was still wearing it. Laura to the rescue!! I could go on and on about Laura but you get the idea.
Meghan and Vishnu: These photographers are the sweetest couple. My daughter and her new husband have never taken professional photos before so they did what they were told and felt very comfortable with them. The shots are breathtaking. They will take your “must have” shots for sure but their style of photography is more so to capture the beautiful candid moments that the couple (and guests) share as the day/evening goes on. Love this!
Diana the security guard: Now it’s not often that you make comments about how awesome a security guard is but I’m telling you that even Diana was great! She interacted with the guest that went out for air and she even ran to get my MOB bag out of the bride’s room for me then ran it back so I didn’t have to lug it around for the night.
Flowers/Décor/Cake: I don’t know the names of who they use BUT just go with who they recommend! Flowers were beautiful and exactly what my daughter and her husband wanted. The décor (lots to choose from) was perfection! The cake was the best cake I have ever had. My family is not much of cake eaters but this cake was absolutely incredible!
DJ Ross and Ross Creations: Lastly but certainly not least…Obviously the party portion of the reception is highly depending on just how good your MC & DJ are. Well DJ Ross did not disappoint! He kept the party going! We had ages 28-70. Dancing, laughing, lots of love & just an overall FUN night!
This was the perfect day for my daughter and my son in law and from the mother of the bride; I must say a HUGE THANK YOU to all at VDA for helping my daughter’s dream wedding come true!! Much Love!
Villa de Amore helped us to plan and execute the wedding of our dreams. The planning process was SO easy as everything was handled in house.
Our wedding day was pure perfection. Everything was so perfectly timed and organized which allowed us both (as well as our parents) to relax and enjoy the day. We were truly impressed by all VDA staff and affiliated vendors. The DJ was so friendly and easy to work with and had all of our guests up and dancing. The photographer was SO efficient in taking family and wedding party photographs. The officiant wrote and delivered the most beautiful personalized ceremony, far beyond what we could have ever hoped for. The florist did an amazing job with the ceremony flowers, reception centerpieces, bouquets, etc. The VDA Designer, Monique decorated the property beautifully, and the Day of Coordinator, Laura kept everything under control. At one point, Laura even helped my bridesmaids to fix a broken bustle loop on my wedding dress. She spent a few minutes with a needle and thread to fix my dress, and I was back dancing at the reception within 5 minutes.
Our guests are STILL talking about the food, portion size, and late night tacos and our families can't believe how flawless the entire day was.
We will happily recommend VDA to any engaged couple!
We traveled throughout California (Northern, Central, and Southern) looking for wedding venues in wine country. Most of the places did not leave a lasting impression like Villa De Amore, we instantly fell in love with the place even as we drove in. The views, the weather, and ambiance were wonderful. After speaking with David and learning all the great things that are included in having a wedding at this location, we felt that we had found the perfect place to get married. The fact that the officiant, florist, photographer, catering, and bakery were included helped reduce the stress of wedding planning. They had a few vendors from each category that we could choose from who have all done multiple weddings at this location. This also took a lot of stress off since we knew all the vendors have experience with and familiarity of the location to do an amazing job.
Villa de Amore was very receptive to our dream wedding. We showed them specific pictures of what we wanted, and they were able to recreate them almost perfectly. Monique, the design coordinator, and Laura, the day of coordinator, are the best. The attention to detail throughout the venue made it even more special. She made us feel like she was organizing her own wedding with how much attention she paid to it. She also made sure everything went smoothly so we could enjoy the day stress free.
Villa De Amore was so accommodating to our vision especially for dinner. We wanted to do a 4-course wine pairing dinner. Even though they had never done this for a wedding, they were willing to make it happen. We could tell all of our guests were having a great time because the reception was buzzing and full of conversation and laughter. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. To be able to execute 4 courses for 120+ guests along with pouring 4 different wines is a testament to how much skill and organization the staff has. Villa De Amore made our dream wedding a reality. We had multiple guests come up to us during the wedding and at the end of the night to express that this was the best wedding they have ever been to and that we had set the bar for all future weddings.
