My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at Fairview Laguna Seca in November. Overall, it was a great experience and venue. I really enjoyed that the venue had pre-existing vendors (cake, floral, dj, food, bar). We only had about six months to plan, and that made the process much easier. They were going through a few staffing changes during the beginning of our planning process making communication a bit difficult. However, once we started working with Danielle it was great. She made sure to let us know about times/dates/payments, etc., and that we had everything needed for the big day. She made sure to reach out to vendors if we didn't hear back from them. We had around 60 guests at our wedding, and it was the perfect size. In addition, the pricing is very fair for what's included (we chose the Elite package). The floral ended being amazing, everything I wanted. As well as the cake, it was delicious. The DJ was simply ok. He played good music. However, I found he didn't quite get the crowd hyped up as I would have liked. Overall, it was a great day, and I would recommend Fairview for your wedding! Reviewed on 21-12-2023

My husband and I were married at Fairview Laguna Seca on June 16, 2023. We waited awhile to leave this review and we’d like to do it in chunks because that feels like how best to describe this rating.TLDR: My husband and I absolutely loved our wedding- it was beautiful and filled with so much love and laughter. Anything that went wrong did not at all detract from the overall vibe of our day!Rehearsal:went so smooth and we had plenty of time to set up our decorations the night before- which was awesome!Vendors:Flor De Monterey- bridal flowers were not included in the elite package and to add them was over $1200. I just did not have the budget and decided to just stick with what my package included (arbor pieces and centerpieces). However, when I received my proposal to add just a few extra flowers they attempted to charge me for the centerpieces and pressured me heavily to pay asap or else my flowers wouldn’t be available. However, when I’d try to adjust the proposal it was days before they’d correct it. When they finally fixed their mistake there was no communication at all. It felt unfriendly and I worried they wouldn’t do the centerpieces, so I ended buying extra flowers from Trader Joe’s just in case. In the end it all worked out and the arbor pieces and centerpieces looked great! It was just uncomfortable feeling like a vendor wouldn’t communicate properly.DJ Shawn Storm- hands down such an awesome DJ! Played all the music we wanted at each part of our wedding. He even played some OG Bay Area songs towards the end when it was mostly the bridal party and our other friends.I Do Wedding cakes- I will order every cake for every occasion from Debbie. We upgraded our cake to be marble cake with a tiramisu filling and it was phenomenal! We got so many compliments on our cake.Venue Coordinator: we started the process with Amber and my husband even left a review for her to show our gratitude and appreciate for all she had done in preparation for our day. Unfortunately, at our rehearsal I was told Amber quit a week prior and my husband and I were not notified. This was really disappointing to not be contacted about this. Tiffany stepped up for rehearsal and the wedding day and she was awesome. However, if I hadn’t hired a separate day of coordinator many things wouldn’t have happened because Tiffany left after my first dance. For instance, my vegans were not given their food and my day of coordinator had to go into the kitchen and figure out what happened. I was having to check in with my vegan guests because I felt so bad they didn’t receive their food when they were suppose too. Eventually some did but I still had 2 vegans not receive their food at all. I had sat down with Tiffany at my rehearsal and mapped out where the vegan dishes go but this fell through. It’s hard to eat at your own wedding when your guest can’t either. The GM and bartender were appointed as people to handle everything after Tiffany left but I had never talked to them about my wedding timeline- so my photographer and other coordinator had to be the people who ran the show. Moral of the story- hire an outside day of coordinator!Drinks and food: Besides the issues with my vegans, the food was great and drinks were wonderful! Matt and Brandon were so incredibly helpful when it was needed!Overall, we had a blast. Some hiccups are expected with weddings- it would be foolish to think there would be none. So, I do highly recommend Fairview Laguna Seca because the property is breathtaking and the all inclusive packages are really hard to beat! We thank everyone at FLS for their part in making our day so special! Reviewed on 18-07-2023

My husband and I got married at Fairview Laguna Seca in June 2023. Each and every team member made our wedding day seamless and beautiful. The Director of Weddings & Events managed our account (and our day) with the utmost professionalism and realistic kindness. She was able to accomodate each request and specific need with grace -- from the planning process to the day-of, we knew we could count on her for anything and everything. The GM and Banquet Captain were the absolute dream team. From the rehearsal to the wedding, all members of the team were professional and ensured us that our guests were going to have an incredible evening. And they did!!We have heard so many compliments from our guests of how detail-oriented and observant the catering staff was, how delicious the food was, and how the bartenders were serving at a great pace. Thank you so much for making our wedding an incredible day, Fairview Laguna Seca. Reviewed on 07-07-2023

We got married June 2023. Fairview was everything I could ever dream of for our magical wedding. The views and the venue was so beautiful. Staff was amazing and helped with every bit of the planning. Any questions I had along the way they were their to answer all my questions and reassure me no to worry, they had my back. The ceremony was beautiful, the bubbles after the \"I do\" was such a great idea. The reception, food and DJ was amazing. My family talks about the wedding on a daily and could not say enough good things. I am just so sad that day went by so fast. I have so much memories and even shed some tears with our wedding planners. They were the sweetest people ever. Reviewed on 28-06-2023

My husband and I got married at Fairview Laguna Seca in April of 2023 and we would recommend it to anyone who is planning to get married! It checked all our boxes including natural beauty for an outdoor ceremony and a whimsical indoor reception area. While looking at other venues, Fairview Laguna Seca had something special no one else had to offer and that is Amber and her vendor team. From the day we called to book a tour we felt accommodated and welcomed and that made us even more excited to take the next step and we are so glad we did. Our friends and family enjoyed themselves, and could not stop mentioning how lovely the venue was and how amazing all of the staff was (shoutout to the bartender). The only downfall we had was that it went by so quick! Reviewed on 25-05-2023

Fairview laguna seca was everything we wanted and more. Amber was there with us throughout the process. Her charisma and friendly personality made our experience even more enjoyable. We felt catered to, and truly it was a stress free experience. Our friends and family complemented how beautiful the venue was and how accommodating the staff was. This venue was so intimate and the views were beautiful! Efrain and I cannot thank you enough. I plan to come back and renew our vows here some day :) Reviewed on 30-04-2023
