“We felt like we were worlds away”
Upon our first visit to Temecula Valley I knew this was the perfect location to host our wedding. There were so many amazing venues for us to tour and they were all close enough together that we were able to visit many of them in one day.

We are so inspired by the beauty of the rolling hills covered in grape vines at Callaway Vineyard in Temecula. There's no shortage of beautiful views from the top of the property. From the rooftop lounge, to the open air reception space, the views, and especially the sunsets are spectacular!
Temecula Creek Inn is a beautiful hotel wedding venue situated just outside the city of Temecula, CA. Tucked away within the sprawling foothills, yet close to the 15 freeway. With its historic Stone House built in the 1800's, it brings a rustic yet elegant vibe to the property. This ceremony and reception space can hold guest counts up to 350. For a more intimate gathering, the Meadows lawn at Temecula Creek Inn can hold up to 150 guests.
Ponte Winery and vineyard, and also the Inn at Ponte sits on 300 acres with romantic picturesque mountain views in the background. Ponte has two ceremony location options that can accommodate up to 400 guests; The Vineyard Gardens and the new Vineyard Pavilion. For reception spaces, The Barrel Room features authentic wine barrels for a moodier more intimate feel while the Vineyard Pavilion is the largest reception space featuring floor to ceiling windows and a light and bright feel.
One of the most important tasks before booking a wedding venue tour is having an overall budget with a guest count in mind. If your venue requires 100 guests and you only have 85, you're still required to pay for the 100 guests. Some venues such as Ponte Winery have two different options such as the barrel room for a small guest count for your reception.
Temecula Valley wine country has a city-wide noise restriction that requires all music to be turned down to 60 decibels at 10 pm. Many of Temecula's venues have an indoor reception space that you can have either your live music or band indoors till midnight. If you are looking to celebrate outside 'till the wee hours of the night, then look into Temecula Creek inn's Stone house. They could be an excellent alternative for you.
Many wedding venues book out at least a year in advance. It's best to have a few dates in mind when touring each venue. You could fall in love with one of them, and they might already be booked for your chosen date. This ensures that you have a little bit of flexibility if this were to happen. Some venues won't book past 2 years, so be sure to have this question ready on your tour date.
Many Temecula wedding venues have in-house catering or a company that they work with exclusively such as Temecula Catering. Most of them can accommodate most dietary restrictions and can create a customized menu for you and your guests. One of the biggest reasons to stay with in-house staff is that they know the flow of the venue and have worked there many times. They know where to go and more importantly who to ask when they need something. This will guarantee your wedding with go as smoothly as possible.
If you don't have to have your wedding on Saturday, then you may find that there's more availability on Friday or Sunday. If the venue you like is all booked up during the summer months, ask about some off-season options. By booking in the off-season, you'll probably save a bit of money as well.
Preferred vendors are a list of wedding professionals that a venue recommends their clients work with on a regular basis. They can include everything from a photographer to cake designers to florists and DJs. Venues will recommend these professionals for many reasons but mostly because they have established an excellent relationship with them based on their professionalism and level of service. Many of these vendors work exceptionally well as a team making your wedding day flow seamlessly.
