We invite you to let your imagination fly when creating that perfect, enchanting event.

My husband and I got married this weekend and it was perfect. We live in Southern California and had to do most of our planning remotely. We loved working with Dan and Lien. We were a little nervous since Lien does all the catering and you only...
pick your menu a few weeks before the wedding, but it was fantastic. Our guests went back again and again. The venue is stunning we did almost no decoration since it is so naturally beautiful. Highly recommend.

I could not have dreamt of a better venue than Wildwood Acres Resort. The venue itself is so gorgeous, it doesn't need any additional decorations. Also, as the sun sets, the thousands of twinkle lights turn on and it almost turns into a complet...
ely different venue. It's like getting two gorgeous venues for the price of one. Lien and her family are also amazing. They are no-nonsense, efficient and helped us make the right decisions for our wedding. Everything went SO smoothly on the day of, the venue looked amazing and the food was delish! They had Cali Craft beers to serve, and their house wines. We also brought in some of our own Rosé to serve, and they were really flexible with that! During the planning process, we took several tours of the venue (probably too many) and they were always welcoming and let us stop by as many times as we needed. We met with Lien 2 weeks before the wedding to hash out final details, and I left feeling so relaxed and at ease. She was on top of it! Overall, our wedding day was magical and wonderful, and so much of that is because of Lien and her team!

hen you book the day, there are no other events occurring so there is no concern about feeling rushed or sharing the space with any other parties/weddings. They had a great system of when to get the food out, that matched the vibe of the whole reception timeline. Lien and Dan responded to my (many) emails in a quick fashion, and it really helped my anxiety go down. We selected to have a late afternoon reception, and it was truly magical once the sun went down and their lights came on. Many of the guests were pleasantly surprised, and many mentioned how they wanted to have parties or other weddings there. Thank you Lien and Dan!

My husband and I got married at Wildwood Acres in June 2013 and it truly was our PERFECT wedding day! We feel incredibly fortunate to have gotten married at such a beautiful and magical venue and to have received the support of the owners, Dan ...
& Lein, throughout the wedding planning process. For anyone who loves trees, flowers, serenity, and the enchantment of nature, this is an ideal place to get married. What’s more is that this is a family run business which spans two generations, and for decades this family has poured love, commitment, and creativity into nurturing the land and creating a sacred space to hold ceremony and celebration. Trust me, you will feel this the moment you set foot on the land! From the first moment we entered Wildwood Acres we knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. As we walked farther into the venue we became more and more amazed by all the different patios, the canopy of trees, and the fountains… our biggest delight came we got to the top of the venue where we found a cathedral of trees under which ceremonies take place. Len and Dan were warm and delightful, and we became friends right away. As a bride and groom new to the world of weddings, we were so happy to have support. They kept us calm and happy, and were always available when we wanted to talk during our year of planning. On the day of the wedding Lein, Dan, and their crew took care of everything! The dinner, appetizers and grilled-cheese after dinner snack were DELICIOUS! Our guests continue to rave about the food, even two months after the wedding! Everyone began with hearty portions, and many went back for seconds. Our guests were amazed that the environment, the service, and the food were so extraordinary – this shows what a find Wildwood Acres is! In summary, we received EXCELLENT service throughout the preparation and the day, an abundance of delicious food, and an extraordinary environment! We had the most beautiful day we could have imagined. We highly recommend it! On a scale of 1 to 5, we give them a perfect 10!!!

When talking to people about this venue, I would tell them it's like the setting in the Secret Garden. And the day that my fiance (now husband) got married there, it was just magical! I loved the day!!! It was August, but it was not too hot,...
the food was great (they only do in-house catering) and I heard no complaints about the breath-taking beauty of it! :) I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for an outdoor site that feels like a lovely garden party! :)

Lien at Wildwood took very good care of us. She made sure everything was the way we wanted on the day of our wedding. She was very accommodating of our unique requests, including adding my hawk to the wedding.
Reviewed On 7/17/2013 by Leah S
I do not even know where to start about this venue! First of all, it is absolutely the most gorgeous venue I have ever seen. The owners take VERY good care of it, and you can tell! One of the many great things about this venue is that when ...
you book the place it comes with tables, chairs, catering, silverware, plates, linens, etc. I did not have to rent anything because they have it all! It was so easy! It also is "Naturally decorated" - meaning their landscaping is enough to say you pretty much do not need a lot of decorations! It is breathtaking. In fact when my husband and I went to go check out the venue, we were in the parking lot looking at the gate to enter (which you can barely even see in the venue) and both looked at each other and said "This is it. We have no clue what the inside looks like, but this is it." They have open houses every month so you can see their venue, and try their food, which is awesome! When we tasted the food it was outstanding, and then to hear from our guests after the wedding we heard nothing but great things about Lien's cooking! DELICIOUS!!! I will say that when you are on your way there you feel as though you are going the wrong way because you have to go down a dirt road, but once you get there IT IS AMAZING and worth it!! Lien and Dan really do take the time out of their busy schedules to make your day perfect! They are great people, and love to have events there! She is always available and easy to get a hold of, but also accommodating to what your vision and needs are for your wedding. I highly recommend Wildwood Acres as a wedding venue!

I enjoy the outdoors and was looking for something less manicured than a winery. Wildwood was it. The bride can have a dramatic entrance winding up the brick patch heading uphill to the alter at the top. You are in a canyone so not a car ne...
arby. I didn't have a planner so I was assisted with how people should proceed and recess. They provided great food (meat cooked on outdoor bbq.) At night there was twinkling lights, wine/coffee barts, and they allowed an 8 piece brass band. It was all terrific. Lien, one of the owners will get meet with you basically the last two weeks to finalize everything. If you are compulsive and want to do things early, she doesn't do this. It all turned out great, except we didn't know what to do when it came time for the champagne toast. I assumed there would be bottles on the table. You have to make sure you announce for everyone to get their own champagne before the toast. This was embarrassing.

the Lafayette hills. I was 110% happy with our wedding day and am so glad we chose Wildwood as our venue. But I have to admit, I did have doubts in the months leading up to our big day. Because the staff at Wildwood are pros at what they do and do multiple weddings nearly every weekend of the year, they know what they're doing and need very little direction. But, as a bride, who had never done this before and only gets one wedding ever, I was very worried about little details and had lots of questions. I got frustrated when many of my phone calls went unanswered or weren't returned for several days. Sometimes the customer service wasn't great and a couple times it was even rude. BUT, I will say, once I gave up control and put my full trust into the pros at Wildwood, it was a great experience and truly the perfect wedding.
