My experience using Wedgewood at Danza Del Sol was absolutely amazing. The entire team from Brit to Sari were so professional and helpful but mostly Marisa. She was absolutely the best from our first initial appointment to contacting me about the barrel room not being ready,which had to be an aweful experience for them as it was not their fault but having to tell brides the reception had to get moved. Yikes! The bridal suite and groom suite were so nice. Jordan, our day or coordinator did such a great job and let us know when she would be leaving and Tony the banquet captain would take over. He also was great making sure I alway had a drink and all our extras were in place and taken care of. All in all I would definitely recommend! They even took a pic of our first kiss and it sat on our table as we walked in to reception. The team really went above and beyond for us and I would recommend to anyone. We even had our rehearsal lunch at the clubhouse at Danza del Sol and that was amazing! Dawn did fantastic. Wedgewood and Danza for the win!!!!Thank you Cheri Reviewed on 21-12-2023

As a guest and maid of honor, I wouldn't really recommend this venue. They didn't let us get to the venue until 3pm which left no time for getting ready photos, bridal party photos, etc. It felt very rushed. They were literally wiping down the golf cart to transport the bride to her first look because it dusty and the seats were soaking wet. The ceremony seating was very squished, for instance, standing up as a bridesmaid, we had 4 inches between us and the first row of guests. Unfortunately, the barrel room wasn't finished, even though they said it would be, so the reception was up at the tasting room. There was no lighting except an iPhone flashlight for the buffet service, they didn't allow the tattoo artist (vendor) to eat first, so he went without food all night, and last call was never announced so the bar closed without anyone knowing. The wedding coordinator left during the reception at some point and we had no transportation back to the bridal suite to get our stuff other than walking through the vineyard in the dark, on dirt, or ducking under trees and trekking our way down a steep hill, in our heels and dresses. Overall, I honestly don't think that this venue is ready to host weddings which is surprising because I got married at a different Wedgewood venue and loved every minute of my experience with them, so I was expecting to love this experience too!

Ashley King(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 This review is long overdue, but my husband and I could not have been more impressed with Denise and everyone at Danza del Sol for our May 2019 wedding. First, you can't go wrong with the venue. It's beautiful and warm, with gold and beige tones everywhere. We kept the decorations at minimum because the venue speaks for itself. We had the ceremony on the back patio, and it was intimate and secluded enough that we didn't feel like strangers were watching us. There are plenty of spots for photos, and we got some beautiful sunset pictures out in the vineyard.Second, the people here are amazing to work with. Our coordinator, Denise, was very organized and friendly, and made sure to reach out periodically to keep me on schedule for planning. Denise built such a rapport with us that I frequently asked her opinion on decorations and vendors, even down to napkin colors. It was so nice having someone I could trust, especially since I am not local to the area. I told her at the beginning that we really wanted this to be a big party, as opposed to a more formal event, and she made us all feel at home! She created a timeline and worked with our DJ and photographers so they were all on the same page. She made sure everything was on schedule for our wedding day and was so easygoing that the whole day ended up being pretty stress-free. We chose our wines pretty early, and apparently we chose one that was running low, so Denise reserved the rest of it for our wedding months ahead of time. Talk about foresight! Additionally, Walter pulled the last bottle of one of the wines on our wedding night so my husband and I could save it for a special occasion. I LOVE how thoughtful they both were!! The food was great and the service was quick and smooth. Additionally, at our tasting, the chef came out at each course and explained all of the options to us. We could tell he really cared about the quality and presentation of the food, and we loved the experience. Finally, the biggest thing I loved about Danza was their willingness to accommodate us. My husband and I are both active duty military and are subject to deploying at any time. Danza was the only venue that would allow us to switch our wedding date without forfeiting a lot of money in the event one of us deployed. Luckily we did not have to do that, but it gave us such peace of mind to know they would support us. I highly recommend this venue for anyone! Reviewed on 05-12-2019

Allison Takeda Flaig(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2018 Almost 10 months later, our families are still talking about how perfect our wedding was. Denise, the event coordinator, made our vision come to life and was so easy to work with. She is attentive, very detail-oriented, and considerate. We only had 40 people and there are few venues that allow for such a small party, which narrowed our search, but after taking a tour of the grounds we knew it was the perfect location. Friends have gotten married at wineries in Temecula, but all their pictures look the same. My photos from Danza del Sol will not only be timeless, but have since inspired a friend's wedding. The chef the winery works with was great as well. The food was so delicious and just different enough to make it feel special. It also pairs perfectly with the wine. We chose a Cab and Sav Blanc that most people are familiar with, but the Grenache and Viognier are unparalleled at Danza. The cherry on top is my husband took me back for my birthday a couple months ago and Denise went above and beyond to help make my day special. I truly appreciate everything she has done for us and we will absolutely be going back for years. Reviewed on 25-10-2018
Denise Felix(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2018 The wedding coordinator Denise is the Boom! She made us feel so comfortable and secure in our decision to go with Danza as our venue. From the beginning Denise took care to our request and needs. She never said no only we will see how we can make this work. She always kept in touch with us, it was a relief that we knew she was always available for us. We went with a Sunday brunch and it was Perfect!Go with their suggested vendor list, they know the venue and are amazing. We went with Flowers, Cake and Cater.

Kelly O'Hara(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 I got married at Danza del Sol end of May 2016. I know this review is way overdue, but I figured better late then never. I am so incredibly pleased with how my wedding turned out at Danza. The venue is just beautiful, and so fitting for a wedding. I loved the aspect of having my ceremony outside, and then moving the reception inside. I remember looking around at other venues, and seeing fake grass or dirt pathways that I would have to walk down in my wedding dress. Danza offers an area for the ceremony that seems secluded, and away from any street or tasting room noise. The reception area is beyond words when fixed for a special occasion. The tile runs throughout the reception area where you don’t have to pay extra for the dance floor. The bar is situated outside several glass doors that open up and allow access to the balcony. It is just beautiful. I want to thank Denise, the wedding coordinator at Danza. She exceeded all of my expectations. She made the planning and wedding both so enjoyable. She was an organized professional who paid attention to detail. She was prompt in replying to questions I had via email, and offered so many wonderful suggestions throughout the planning process. She is truly amazing at what she does. Initially when I booked my wedding at Danza another wedding coordinator was on staff. Denise transitioned into the coordinator position late Jan./Feb. of 2016. I am from out of town, so at that time I had one more scheduled meeting planned to solidify details, and meet with Denise for the first time. She put me right at ease. She was so thorough with reviewing every detail. I felt so prepared for my wedding day. I have received so many compliments regarding how lovely the venue was to how great the wine tasted. A huge thanks to Denise and the Danza staff for making my day so memorable. Reviewed on 27-02-2017

We came across Danza through a fellow winery in the area. My husband quickly fell in love with their service, attention to detail, and venue space. Working with the team at Danza was a dream. Cara made everything so easy and they worked hard at given us the best wedding ever.

Kristle Maglunob(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2015 We’ve visited Danza del Sol a number of times and always had fun so we considered it as a place for our wedding. Danza del Sol was one of the few locations we researched that replied promptly to our request for additional information. We were impressed with the beautiful event area, bridal suite, and quality service we received during our site meeting with Cara so we chose our wedding date the same day. It was a great decision. I’m not much of a procrastinator, but it was wonderful to know I had Cara to offer suggestions and send reminders throughout the planning process. She would reply promptly to e-mails and was easy to work with. Our meetings were productive and helped put my mind at ease about our wedding day. The day of, Cara was on point. She and the Danza del Sol staff handled everything from driving us around in a cart for photos, vendor arrivals, decoration setup, take down, and the overall day went smoothly. It was great to see our hard work and planning materialize beautifully on our wedding day. Everyone had a wonderful time! Thank you so much to everyone at Danza del Sol! Reviewed on 28-10-2015
Amy Frena(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2015 After we nailed our wedding venue, we were determined to find another beautiful vineyard with an intimate setting to continue the wine country theme for our rehearsal dinner. Our wedding coordinator actually recommended we reach out to Danza and we were so glad we did! Cara is the wedding planner there, and that girl knows her stuff! After a few emails, we set up an appointment to see the options. First of all, Danza del Sol is a beautiful, quaint winery on lush rolling hills. The wine is fantastic and the service is always great. Cara greeted us with a smile, a delicious glass of wine, and off we went in the golf cart. Just a few minutes in and we knew we had found our place! The barrel room is located down a little dirt road to the side of the tasting room. It kind of looks like a cute little house in the middle of wine country. Perfect? I think so! It has a nice sized outdoor patio, complete with a bar, patio furniture, and misters to cool you off while you sit! They have a ‘library room’, as well, with long wooden tables that they host private group tastings in. This room is air conditioned, clean and looks like a fancy office in some rich guys house. Lol.. I digress! Anyways- The barrel room is connected to the library room and is absolutely beautiful! Again, clean, cool, and clearly, full of barrels! They even have a ‘garage door’ that can open to give you a view of the vineyards while you eat! Knowing our dinner was around sunset, this was a slam dunk! They offered to bring the tables in from the library room, so that our entire party could sit at one long table. That also enabled them to put the bar inside in the library room, so that our guests could cool off inside if need be. (PS- It was 100 degrees outside!) On the day of, everything was insanely perfect. Cara is great at what she does, and wanted to make sure our every need was met. She helped plan our menu, our decor, and the timeline. I dropped a few things off when we arrived that evening and she set the whole thing up in minutes while our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the patio. It was just stunning. An Italian themed, candlelit rehearsal dinner in a barrel room with the sun setting over the vines… Can you say perfection!? The food was fantastic, as was the service. The chef himself came out to introduce every course, which was really cool for a family full of foodies! Cara stuck around the entire time to be sure my new hubby and I were completely satisfied. Which, clearly, we were! If you are looking for a beautiful, serene location with superb service for your rehearsal dinner or even your wedding, we definitely recommend Cara and the team at Danza del Sol!

Kristina (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2015 I'm having a hard time finding where to start... That's how crazy beautiful, fantastic, superb, and perfect our wedding was at DDSW. \rWe are members at this fine establishment and the grounds are breathtaking. With their fair and reasonable prices, there is no other winery in Temecula that even compares. Why would you have your wedding anywhere else? Just don't. \rDanza has a special place in our hearts due to the fact that my wife and I had one of the first gay weddings in the community. They are completely excepting and it wasn't even an issue (unlike some wineries that will go unamed...) \rIn the end, our wedding was the most talked about in the valley (don't mean to brag...oh, wait....yes I do!) \rIn the most positive ways. \rCara Goset is a wedding coordinating magician. The best of the best, the cream of the crop, the bee's knees. She makes you feel at ease and will offer her opinion, which is great! Do you know how any decisions you have to make? You are bound to make some bad ones, but Cara knows best. That should actually be the title of her future reality show on TLC. \r\rDANZA DEL SOL WINERY is the shit.

Words can't even describe how breathtaking this was.\r\rThe staff is one of a kind! We had nothing but positive experiences with everyone!

We 100% recommend Danza Del Sol. The venues understated elegance and beauty was the perfect setting for our special day. The staff, especially Cara and Kelly, were phenomenal. They were quick to respond to any questions and very professional. We had a little hiccup on the day of the wedding but Cara was quick to find a solution. We had 100 guest and I felt like we had plenty of space. All of my vendors were off their suggested list, and I was very happy with all of them. The only thing I may suggest is to add more lighting on the front steps and patio. Overall, I definitely suggest checking Danza Del Sol out.
