Monserate Winery exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day truly magical. The staff at this venue are nothing short of amazing. They were friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure every detail was perfect. Now about the venue. Why go all the way to Italy to get married when you can get married in Fallbrook?! The Italian-inspired venue was SO beautiful, elegant, and so very romantic. We as a couple, every guest, and every vendor commented on how beautiful it was. My makeup/hair lady who came all the way from LA even commented that the bridal suite was the most beautiful place sheâs ever done makeup at. The bridal suite was the most elegant, beautiful, and lovely place I have ever gotten ready at with great lighting, AC, and they even have a hair washing station!! It was also so spacious which gave us enough room for all of us to be comfortable. Now the waterfall ceremony site. It was the most perfect backdrop and space for our vows, and created a magical atmosphere that our guests still talk about. The pictures are absolutely stunning!! Last but not least, the gorgeous barrel room for the reception provided an intimate setting for our celebration. It was so classy and elegant and we couldnât ask for anything more beautiful. The ambiance, the wine, and the food â everything was top-notch. Monserate Winery gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we couldnât be happier. Definitely recommend getting married there!

Had our wedding here on 11/02/23 and it was truly the best day of our lives. The Tuscan Villa venue is stunning, charming and makes photos effortlessly gorgeous. The Venue worked with us every step of the way to make things on our wish list happen and they did so within budget - they even threw in a handful of gifts with no strings attached. They were 100% honest and trustworthy every step of the way. Itâs family owned and you can tell; every staff member is warm and helpful. Our vendors were stunned and almost all of them had said this was their new favorite venue! Monserate is set to skyrocket in popularity so Iâm so thankful we found it when we did and their staff made it all possible for us!! We will forever be grateful. Once you see this place you will be OBSESSED!! Big shout out to Kiki who coordinated the heck out of our day đ Reviewed on 15-11-2023

I got married here to the love of my life on September 16th!Monserate exceeded our expectations in so many ways! They had such professional communication with us and so much pride in their venue presentation, which in turn, gave us so much peace on our wedding day. Kiki was a fabulous point of contact for us, always going above and beyond to make sure all the details were taken care of weeks before the event. Not to mention, our guests are still raving about the beauty of the venue itself. It made for timeless elegant photos we'll always cherish. Can't thank Monserate enough for having such a reliable team and gorgeous venue! Reviewed on 14-11-2023

Monserate was a beautiful wedding venue and winery. It has a perfect outdoor ceremony space under trees and cocktail/reception space around the pond. The trees and pond provided a perfect backdrop for the ceremony and shade for guests. The turf lawn and cement floor under the awning created a lovely reception space for dinner and dancing. Wine and bar service from Monserate was great. All of the white and red wines we chose were delicious as well as the full bar service offered by Monserate. Kiki and the rest of the Monserate staff were extremely helpful throughout the planning process and day of the wedding. Many of the tables and chairs for ceremony and reception are included from Monserate, reducing the number of items needing to be rented from caterers or other vendors. They were also very flexible with any last minute changes. We would highly recommend Monserate to anyone looking for a winery wedding venue! Reviewed on 21-08-2023

Monserate Winery is the place you book if you want all your dreams to come true. The venue is stunning (obviously), but the real sell are the people that work there and how they make you feel. Planning a wedding is tough, but with this team you feel like you can do it. They made our entire vision come to life and helped us execute the best day ever. So many of our guests were raving about the wine, the venue and the staff which is such a good feeling after the months of planning. If we could do everything over again, we wouldn't change a single thing thanks to Monserate. PLUS, you can bring outside catering (with catering licenses) so you have the high end winery vibe, with food you actually want to eat. This is the place you need to book!! Reviewed on 25-07-2023

Monserate winery was an amazing wedding venue. It has so much space for people to spread out. The ceremony sites are breathtakingly beautiful. Each ceremony site has large trees that provide so much shade for the guest, so if you're getting married in the summer like I did, it wasn't too hot. The ponds are such a gorgeous backdrop for photos. The day went so smoothly. Working with Annie, the venue coordinator, was really fun too. She helped us organize every little detail about the day so that we were prepared. Everyone at my wedding kept telling me how much they loved the venue :) Reviewed on 22-07-2023

Monserate was the perfect venue for our wedding! We picked it mostly for the scenery, but also because of the very reasonable price. We worked with Annie from the start of the planning process, and she was so helpful/responsive. We decided to also have our rehearsal dinner at the venue the day before. The Monserate staff made our whole party feel welcome and celebrated. I truly cannot say enough about the hospitality and friendliness of the team who made sure that our wedding was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend a wedding here in the month of May - the grape vines were bright green and so full, making the perfect backdrop to our ceremony and reception. Thank you to the Monserate staff and especially Annie for making our day so special! Reviewed on 02-06-2023

We had our wedding here in May 2022 and it was more perfect and beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the beginning, Annie was always so helpful, informative and available to answer any and all of our questions. She, and all of the Monserate staff, went above and beyond to help our vision for our big day come to life. The majority of comments we got from guests were about how gorgeous the venue was and how awesome their staff was. Monserate may be a Fallbrook hidden gem right now, but I know it will be an extremely sought after venue in the very near future. If you're on the fence, just stop by for a glass of wine to check it out, or get a tour from Annie, and you'll be sold...it's the best! :) Reviewed on 20-09-2022
Dan Cruse(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2022 We were lucky enough to be one of the first few couples to hold our wedding at Monserate Winery this past April. Their team invited us out to tour the property even before the tasting room and venue spaces were completed and easily sold us on the vision that was yet to come! What it became was truly beyond our expectations! The team at Monserate were so responsive and quick to help us build our plans. From top to bottom they worked so hard to make both our rehearsal dinner and wedding nights spectacular! We couldn't imagine finding a better place to have our wedding anywhere in Southern California. The photo opportunities are incredible with the old growth sycamore trees, ponds and endless vines. The space could accommodate a wedding of any size with the variety of spaces they can offer. Stop your search! This is the place for you! Reviewed on 20-09-2022

M Z(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2021 We just had our wedding here and the venue + coordinator, Annie, were perfect!So many of our guests had commented on how it was the perfect venue/location. Me and my husbandâs favorite part was the connected indoor outdoor space. The venue has an amazing lawn with a gorgeous pond. So even when you are seated inside, the doors open up so you can still look out to the view. Also, the catering company, Flavor Chef, that the venue uses has amazing food!Lastly, shout out to Annie the venue coordinator. Her services were included and she has been helpful every step of the way. We had multiple calls during the planning process and utilized an online portal for planning as well. What blew me away was her help the day of. I didnât have an exact vision that i communicated with her nor the proper supplies. So when i saw that she went the extra mile and added her own stuff to help out with our centerpieces and such, i was really blown away because i felt she pulled the vision together. I really recommend this place. Reviewed on 07-11-2021
