I had the wedding of my dreams here in September 2023! Villa de Amore made everything so easy and smooth from the very beginning. They were so transparent about pricing, availability and the services they provide. The venue is all inclusive, but their ability to personalize everything for each couple is incredible! Their communication was quick and their team was so wonderful to work with! Tori was our wedding coordinator and she was great to work with and didn’t mind me being incredibly type A. Mandi was our lead designer and perfectly executed my very specific vision! All of our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was! Highly recommend Villa de Amore for one of the most beautiful weddings you could dream of! Reviewed on 09-12-2023

My husband and I got married here in October 2023- if you're looking for a wedding venue in Southern California, look no further! I truly cannot rave about Villa de Amore enough. There is a reason they were booked out a year and a half before our wedding day, so definitely book early! David, Eileen and the team just get it and they are truly experts in all things weddings. As a type A bride, it was so nice having all the details laid out and everyone at VDA being so easy to work with (with quick communication!). Almost everything is included, which saves money, time and effort not having to bring in a bunch of outside vendors, and the bar is BYOB, which helps a ton if you can get discounted alcohol. Karen, our coordinator, truly was a miracle worker and made everything run smoothly. Mandi, our designer, was amazing and helped us decide on our vision including flowers which was not my strong suit. The venue is laid out perfectly for weddings, and it's rare to have a private venue for 9 hours on your wedding day (without public wine tasting!). Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and loved everything about the venue. Perfect for photos and video- highly recommend upgrading to the videography package with the drone! Thank you VDA for making our big day the best ever! Reviewed on 26-10-2023

This venue is an amazing private venue with gorgeous, spacious grounds and breathtaking views. Not only is it beautiful, but its staff shows the highest level of professionalism and commitment to helping you design and execute the wedding of your dreams. Mandi and Sierah performed miracles with the design of the day and Tori executed a flawless day being the most attentive coordinator! I cannot say enough about this venue and strongly recommend it!

Had the wedding of my dreams at Villa on 5/20/23. We knew we wanted to get married in Temecula, and this happened to be the first place we toured (which set the bar SO high). I thought this was a public winery so showed up on a Tuesday hoping to just scope it out; we met one of the managers David, who was kind enough to give us the full tour on the spot. We picked May partly because there was a cancellation and David sold us hard on the beauty of the venue with the flowers in bloom - and it did not disappoint! The weather was perfect, about 78 during the day and a little cooler at night. It was the most magical day and honestly so much better than I anticipated. The all inclusive price is AMAZING (no \"don't forget to add 10% for tip\"), and the quality of the services included is top notch. The flowers were overflowing and abundant. The decor was stunning and put together artfully with the help of the designer (so much better than if I had to purchase/choose every item myself). The food was the best wedding food we've had. Dessert was delicious, music was banging. One of the best parts is the privacy of the venue (it's not open to the public so no drunk onlookers) and the movement of the day - you and the guests get to flow through each space and truly experience the magic of this venue. After touring other venues in the area, the price seemed reasonable for the quality and quantity of the services offered, and you don't have to spend hours interviewing people and trying to get cost breakdowns. You do a few meetings - food tasting, design day, and speak with the coordinator, which is all private and relaxed. This was a great option for us, being 2 busy people who work 50+ hours each week. Everything went off without a hitch day of since the vendors work closely together and are managed by the coordinator Karen, who was kind, accommodating and made sure we always had a drink in our hand. This is a BYOB venue, so we had a fully stocked bar courtesy of Costco which saved us thousands of dollars and let us choose the type of wine and hard liquor we wanted (as many wineries do not have a hard liquor license). We went with Leah Marie photography and David Graham for minister, who were excellent. You do have to get ready offsite, but my bridesmaids and I booked a house a 1/2 mile down the street which gave everyone more space in the morning anyways. The only feedback I have is that the guest bathrooms were just ok; it'd be nice if there was 1-2 more toilets. But as the bride, I used my own private bathroom in the bridal suite, so it did not matter to me. If you're on the fence - do it. I wish I could get married there again. I also highly recommend a date when the white roses are blooming as it is stunning beyond belief. Thank you Villa for the best day!! Reviewed on 24-08-2023

We had our wedding at VDA on 7/21/2023 and I cannot recommend this venue enough. I was a little nervous that an \"all inclusive\" venue would mean having to choose from certain pre-chosen options but everything we wanted they were able to do specific to our taste! The whole planning process was incredibly easy and all laid out for us. All of our guests said this was the best wedding food they ever had and the whole night VDA made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed (bringing drinks to us, appetizers to us during pictures, always asking if we needed anything but also getting to enjoy the whole night). The venue is beautiful and you can really make this exactly what you want for your wedding. Reviewed on 02-08-2023
We had our wedding at VDA just about two weeks ago and are still on cloud 9 from it! This was a destination wedding for us and most of our guests travelled to California from the East coast. Our guests have been absolutely RAVING about how beautiful this venue is, how great the food was and just how much fun they had at our wedding. From a planning standpoint, I don’t have anything but great things to say! Planning from across the country was made easy because this is an all inclusive venue. It is amazing to work with vendors who have all really worked together before. It made things so much easier for us and the day really went off flawlessly. Our coordinator Karen was beyond helpful leading up to the wedding and even more so on the day of. Mandi did a zoom call with us to help us select all the details and florals that all came out absolutely beautiful. My whole vision came to life. The staff at VDA are truly professionals and experts in hosting weddings. They run like a well oiled machine! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is thinking of it as a “maybe”.

As the mother of the bride, I am simply overwhelmed with how enchanted and magical the whole wedding/evening was. I never dreamed it would come out as well as it did. All the staff is so professional and accommodating. The whole event was like a dream. The minister made the ceremony so memorable and touching; the cocktail hour felt like we were in Beverly Hills; the dinner was divine and so delicious and so filling; the personable DJ made the evening fun filled; the cake cutting in the rose garden was enchanted; the bar tenders were 5 star; and all the workers including the wedding coordinator were stellar. We had a cigar bar and it was a huge hit and looked like it came from a Hollywood movie set. I highly, highly recommend this venue. They were so easy to work with and so professional.

We truly cannot thank you VDA enough for creating such a magical wedding day for us. My husband and I both agree it was, no doubt, the best day of our lives. VDA is absolute perfection from the breathtaking bridal suite, to the elegant cocktail hour with a pianist and endless photo opportunities, to the sleek cigar bar (which was a huge hit!!!), to the stunning ballroom, to the incredible, super attentive and knowledgeable team. Every single VDA member was amazing. David and Eileen were accommodating every step of the way and answered all questions quickly. Mandi's designs were stunning, and we could tell she truly took note of our requests. Karen, our day of coordinator was sooo sweet and meticulous.

From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and attentive to details. Throughout the day, Brittany was incredibly kind, calming, and supportive. She kept everyone on schedule throughout the day, helped troubleshoot any issues that arose, and allowed me to enjoy the day to the fullest. I also have to thank DJ Ross for being fantastic to work with, helping make the day run smoothly, taking the time to make sure we have all the details and timing correct, and creating some unforgettable moments with the cold sparks.The end result was truly unforgettable.

I am not a crafty person and I absolute hate party planning so when I came a cross a venue that offers it all; my decision to elect Villa De Amor was easy. The customer service was outstanding and the organization exceeded my expectation. And the venue it’s self is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My wedding was in February and the grounds were green and lively. Not to mention we got a good amount of rain in the weeks leading up to the wedding so although the vineyards were empty they still looked green. The last item that stood out to me was that they basically have a home goods storage in the back so I got to go in there and select all the furniture and decor. It doesn’t get better than this.

I had walked through what felt like 100s of venues, but when we walked up to Villa I got “that feeling” & knew we were about to walk through our wedding site.

Everytime we communicated, messages were clear, helpful and organized. I can’t imagine doing my wedding anywhere else or any other way. Weddings are crazy stressful and Villa really did their best to make it as smooth as they could. When the wedding day arrived, they made my day better than I could imagine.

Annelise Werhel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2022 My husband and I had our wedding at VDA in April 2022, and we were extremely happy about how it went. The venue is stunningly beautiful! The pictures speak for themselves. We had our wedding ceremony at the vineyard gate, cocktails on the patio, dinner in the courtyard, cake cutting in the rose garden, and dancing in the ballroom. It really felt like 4 or 5 different venues in one that guests progress through over the course ot the night.The all inclusive packagage makes planning very straight-forward and it includes a lot--a full 8 hrs of use of the property (much longer and more private than surrounding wineries), trailers worth of design and decor items that you can choose from (saving lots of money in rentals), floral, catering, linens, photography, DJ, etc. Laura, the coordinator, was amazing! She and her assistant handled everything smoothly, answered every question, and anticipated our needs throughout the night. The floral and design turned out just as I imagined. We requested some additional florals beyond what is typically included, and it was executed perfectly.My only recommendation--if you are requesting/paying for extras outside of the standard package, make sure to check in on those requests the week of the ceremony to make sure they happen.Overall, a beautiful venue, a smooth wedding day, and memories that we will cherish forever. It's been almost 4 months, and I'm still aglow and so happy about how things turned out. Thank you VDA! Reviewed on 16-08-2022
Olivia Mac(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-07-2022 Everything on our wedding day was very well coordinated and the venue did an amazing job. It was extremely convenient having all inclusive services with the catering, cake, DJ, photography, floral, design, and day of coordinator all included. I did not need a wedding planner and was able to coordinate everything easily and within good time frame. There were no surprises with the services and everything went much better than we had expected. The food tasted much better the day of the wedding compared to the tasting. The cake was moist and delicious, and super cutely decorated with cake toppers that we provided. One of the biggest advantages is that we supplied our own alcohol, going from recipes with our signature drinks to the types of beers, wines, and liquor. This saved us a lot of money, and we took home everything that wasn't used. The DJ, florist, and designer of the overall venue were all very accommodating and were able to do anything that we requested. The venue is also extremely beautiful, especially during summer months with the lush vineyards. We were overall extremely happy with the venue and the wedding overall. We were able to throw a very well planned and coordinated party for 80 people at a beautiful location at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend. Reviewed on 09-07-2022

Also, after having our rehearsal dinner at a public vineyard, we were glad that we chose a venue for our wedding that was private just to us and our guests. You can tell that the staff at VDA are truly experts at what they do. Our wedding day could not have run any smoother! Laura was wonderful to work with and truly a calming presence on the day of. Any little adjustments needed were done quickly. Our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and we truly felt it looked like our wedding cost double what we actually paid! The food was delicious, cocktails were made beautifully, and our desserts were devoured (not a single bite left)! I had worked with Ross (the DJ) up until about two weeks before the wedding, before he told us one of his employees would be working our wedding. I'm fine with that, I would just have liked to have known earlier because everything I relayed to Ross I had to relay again to Henry. Ross had not really passed on anything we had already talked about. Henry was super nice and easy to work with, played my requests, and even was super nice and let my dad (a fellow wedding DJ) play for 30 minutes at the reception! Mandy, our photographer with The Studio, was super upbeat, friendly, and knew exactly how to pose us and where the best shots were.

Many of the members of our family and wedding party commented how it was the smoothest and best run wedding they've been part of.The catering was delicious - much tastier the night of the wedding than when we did our tasting to select the menu too. They were able to accommodate many dietary restrictions (food allergies, sensitivities, and dietary preferences). The design and floral turned out amazing. They were so easy to work with and it was really fun walking around looking at the different items in the storage. I felt like they truly understood our vision (even though my Pinterest board was a little all over the place) and everything was more beautiful than I could have expected.The biggest shoutout goes to Laura - we were supposed to do dinner outside but had to move it inside last minute due to the cold weather. We made the call around 2pm the day of the wedding with a 3:00pm ceremony start time and the dinner tables were setup in the ballroom and looked amazing in no time. I seriously don't know how they pulled it off, but the whole team there is amazing! Savannah also kept me sane, and even used her headset to phone in an extra drink for the groom when our photos were taking a little longer than planned. If I could get married there again, I'd do it over in a heartbeat! We used all preferred vendors and brought in an ice cream cart to augment the dessert spread. The cake from Elegance on Display was delicious (especially the lemon cake with raspberry layers) and gorgeous. The Studio photographer was kind and knowledgeable about the venue and Adrianna, our lead photographer, greeted me at the limo with an umbrella because it was lightly drizzling, and she made sure to keep my hair nice. We haven't gotten photos back yet to comment more on them. We booked videography through The Studio as well, and we did not like our video, but we're excited to see our photos!

Michelle Churchill(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2021 Villa de Amore staff were amazing! The design team made my day beautiful and exactly as we had discussed at the design meeting. The food was excellent, everyone loved each dish. Laura, the wedding coordinator was fabulous to work with! The DJ is very good at what he does and is very nice and personable. His photo booth person not so much. She was rude and wouldn’t let kids take pics by themselves even though she was pushing all the buttons for people. My one disappointment is that my bouquet was set somewhere unattended and I found out later that it was passed among guests who took pictures with it. This upset me enormously since I was planning on preserving it and had a precious picture charm of my late father that was close to falling off by the time I got it back. Also, if you hire Lisa Marie photography (one of their vendors) demand it be Lisa Marie. We got one of her staff and the photos were literally through a list of poses and point and shoot. We had better photos from friends iPhones. They also did not do table pictures as they were instructed in our final request meeting, so we did not get pictures with everyone like we had wanted. Bottom line Villa de Amore made my wedding gorgeous and the food and drinks on point. DJ incorporated our music requests and also kept the night going well. Be ware of the photographer and photo booth. And if you want to preserve your bouquet be clear it needs to be kept in a safe place, although you might have people who have more respect than some of my guests. Reviewed on 18-08-2021

I was a Covid bride and didn't have any of the horror stories that other brides did with Villa De Amore, but there were a few small issues that VDA could improve on. At our food tasting, we had decided to do a swap of salmon instead of cod. I confirmed with them that they understood our swap. And then the day of our wedding it was wrong and didn't match the beautiful menus I had brought in. Also I had asked to do one long table for dinner under the gazebo for our wedding party. I showed up to our reception and it was 3 tables. If it was going to be an issue, I just would've liked someone to tell me about it instead of being surprised when I walked into my reception.

Stella Huen(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-06-2020 Future brides and grooms, RUN and DO NOT look back!! I like to echo all the couples who had a horrible experience with Villa De Amore during this time. My husband and I were supposed to get married in late June and of course, that did not happen because of the pandemic. Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest and joyful event in your life, however, dealing with Eileen and David during this pandemic was nothing, but STRESS and HEADACHES. They claim to be a family owned business, but unfortunately, all they care about is money!We reached out to Villa De Amore in March of 2020, three months before our wedding, expressing our concerns about if our wedding was going to happen in June. If it was not going to happen as it states in our contract, we were looking for a refund and not a postponement.David stated that he did not know if they could have our wedding, but told us to wait until 30 days prior to our wedding date for his decision. We had also asked if they would honor their force majeure in their contact, and at the time, David said their insurance would review our claim. This gave us hope that would honor this clause in our contract. As the days and months went by, cases of Covid continued to rise and it didn't look like we would be able to hold our wedding. In May, a few days before we hit the 30-day mark, I called Riverside County and they confirmed with me that NO businesses were allowed to conduct weddings at that time. I also called a few wineries in Temecula, and ALL of them said they have already postponed or refunded all their couples. Once again, I reached out to David and Eileen about what Riverside County and other wineries had said and done, but again, they said they do not know whether they could hold our wedding and also added, that they WILL NOT refund our money and that our only option is to choose an undesirable date for the future (in my opinion). Our wedding is a destination wedding for us and the majority of our guests, so we were not going to risk their safety in having our wedding there. What was even worse, was that two weeks prior to our wedding, Eileen had the nerve to email us and said that they got the okay to hold our wedding and send them our final count. As we all know now and back then, we were clearly still in the middle of the pandemic, and weddings were still not allowed at that time! At this point, we knew we could not trust them. During this time, they did nothing, but misled us with false information and acted as if they were above the law as they decided not to listen to the state and county orders. We clearly DID NOT continue our business with them and hired a lawyer. In July, we were notified that Villa De Amore had a Temporary Restraining Order from Riverside County stating that they were to stop holding, offering, and hosting wedding receptions. Also that the court finds that Villa De Amore was an immediate threat to the public's health. Their TRO also got extended to September and that's when it ended.Any good business would recognize our current situation and do the right thing and honor what's in the contract. Villa de Amore could not perform their obligations in our contract than we are entitled to our money back. Take your hard-earned money elsewhere, because they sure do not care about you, your family, and your friend's safety! If I could go back in time, I WOULD NEVER have trusted Villa De Amore to have my once and lifetime wedding. You deserve better!! Reviewed on 22-11-2020
Dan Berghauser(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2020 What a two year ride it has been with Villa De Amore trying to plan a wedding during 2020. Lets start with the beginning. When we first arrived at VDA in 2018 after touring five possible winery event sites, we both knew immediately that we wanted to get married at VDA. This place is breath taking, unique, and your guests will absolutely be impressed. The pitch is all you need to do is show up with your dress and suit on your wedding day. Everything else is taken care of. We were sold (I was sold on the midnight taco bar). When we got the announcement that our wedding was canceled due to COVID a week before the wedding, we were devastated. VDA did everything in their power to make the date transfer as seamless as possible. They took care of us and the vendors. Anytime we had questions or nerves, they were always happy to talk with us and make sure all the plans are ironed out. The entire team and vendors were extremely professional. We had two sites, three different wedding plans, and an ever changing guest list. With all that, we did not have a single thing go wrong on our wedding. The wedding was beyond our expectations and we even planned it with them. Look no further if you are planning on getting married in Temecula. We could not recommend them more and we know you will be just as happy as we are with having your wedding at VDA. Thank you for being our shining moment in one of the hardest years. ~ Jessica and Dan Reviewed on 28-09-2020
Christina Kilpatrick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-03-2020 We had our wedding in San Diego but we don't live there, so the whole process of choosing vendors was a little tricky. But choosing VDA for our venue was one of the easiest decisions we had to make. VDA is all-inclusive in terms of making the planning as easy as possible, but they really help you create your unique vision, which we didn't see from other all-inclusive venues we visited. The property is stunning. My husband and I not only loved the property and the price, but we really felt great supporting this family business and their vision... the ownership and staff are warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. My family and guests gave us so many compliments on our \"planning,\" saying the flow of the day was impeccable, but honestly we barely did anything. It was all Laura, Monique, the Catering team, and everyone else at VDA. We hope they add a restaurant so we can come back and visit. I can't say enough good things. Thank you to the whole team!

Divya Biswal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2019 I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. They took away all the stresses of wedding planning! Their package includes: Venue, florals, decor, DJ, photographer, cake/desserts and everything else you can possibly think of. The only thing you need to bring is alcohol and they provide mixers! Also of note, you don't have to go with their provided photographers, ministers etc. We personally chose a different photographer (not to say theirs weren't amazing!) and didn't use their minister. In the case you don't use their services there is a discount provided off the package total.Laura the coordinator is an angel sent from heaven. She not only answered every single on of my scatter brained questions leading up to the big day but she also was amazing during the rehearsal and big day! Many of my friends commented on how patient and nice she was. I truly owe my amazing wedding experience to her. I was never stressed out and I seriously had the best day of my life (so did my husband haha)The cake and desserts were made by elegance on display and she truly brought my vision to life. She was also very patient (I changed my cake design like 3 times after our initial meeting). The desserts were delicious and everything was devoured within minutes.The food was done by their in house catering. We had 3 passed appetizers, a salad and main course. We had the beef short rib and chicken marsala as our main choices (they also provide a vegetarian/vegan option) and wow they were so delicious. It didn't taste like typical wedding catering and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their meals.Decor and flowers. Wow wow wow wow. Monique and Aimee brought my vision to life. We had our walk through and went through what we liked and didn't like and she put together the entire decor and it was stunning. Same with our flowers! Everything was so beautiful and I didn't have to pick out anything. They took care of everything from the ceremony decor to centerpieces to random signs and a cigar table. It was just so beautiful.DJ Ross made our first dance and song theme so special. We had a greatest showman theme and prior to the wedding we discussed what we wanted and he created a custom version of the song to fit the timing of our grand entrance. He was such a joy to work with and if I ever need a DJ again he will be at the top of my life. He's honestly just a cool guy who knows how to read a crowd and get them pumped up!Lastly the venue is stunning. From the piano bar room to the vineyard views, there's a photo op for everyone. The staff are so welcoming and everyone said the service was impeccable. The bartenders and servers were so nice. They have security as well and she was a riot! I truly loved everything about this place. Please do not hesitate to book this venue. They will take away all of your stress and make your wedding the best day of your life! Reviewed on 18-02-2020
Britt McDonald(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 My husband and I visited many different wineries and wedding venues in Temecula before deciding on Villa de Amore, and we are so glad we did. We found out about VDA because we had attended a wedding there the year prior! We loved the setting, the food, the street tacos. So we already knew that they could pull off a great event. Price Price was great for what you get. Other wineries had comparable costs, but did not include cake, DJ, officiant or photographer. VDA includes all those vendors PLUS the catering and bar staff. Food Food was absolutely delicious! As a vegetarian, I’m always disappointed by the sad token vegetarian entree at weddings - or by having to just eat sides and bread. They had several vegetarian options on the menu, but none that really spoke to me. So the chef worked with me to create a summer pasta just the way I wanted it! BarThere are 2 huge bar perks for VDA. The first is that they allow you to bring in your own alcohol. We were quoted $13k for beer and wine open bar at most other wineries. With VDA, we spent about $5k on Wilson Creek wine, and beer and liquor from Costco, and had plenty left over. Second, VDA has a liquor license. Most of the other wineries in the area will only allow beer and wine. SettingYou just can’t get better than VDA for setting. All the wineries are gorgeous, but because VDA is specifically designed as a wedding venue, they’ve set up SO many photo opps. We got married in the vineyard, had cocktail hour on the patio and had dinner in the courtyard, before moving inside to the dance floor. All of our attendees STILL have photos they took at the venue as their Facebook profile photos, 4 months later! From the vineyard to the vine-covered hoopla, to the twinkle lights and fountain in the courtyard, to the lit awning where the cake is cut, to the rustic truck on-site, there are endless photo opps for you, your wedding party and your guests. StaffStaff is the best! Eileen is delightful, and Laura is so nice and so easy to work with. Monique is a very talented designer and Amy the caterer is so talented. Ross the DJ was also attentive and charismatic. Reviewed on 07-02-2020
Lee Reyes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-05-2019 We got married at Villa de Amore in May 2019. We always imagined that planning a wedding was going to be one of the most stressful things we would ever have to do but thankfully this was not the case. Choosing Villa de Amore as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have ever made. David and the rest of the VDA team were incredibly helpful, organized, and responsive. The venue already has a list of vendors that they work with so it removed all the stress from having to find vendors and coordinating with the venue. Monique was our wedding designer and helped customize the venue space with the abundance of accessories they have to choose from. She helped bring our vision to life, working very hard to make sure every detail at each space was perfect. Robin was our florists who helped bring our color scheme to life. She did a beautiful job with all our floral displays making it look like we spent a lot more money on flowers than we really did. Aimee is the head of catering at VDA and her team were wonderful with our guest during cocktail and dinner. The food was delicious!! Elegance in Display helped make our dessert table dream come true. Too many delicious desserts to choose from. Ross Creations played all the right music and kept our guests dancing the night away. Our photographers Adventure Stories captured every single emotion and moment beautifully. Last but not least, Laura our day of coordinator was top notch. She made sure everything that day ran smoothly making the day an absolute dream. The venue itself is beautiful with sparkling twinkle lights and amazing views all around the property. Our guests still rave about the venue to this day. We highly recommend Villa de Amore to anyone and we can’t thank them enough for making a wedding day dream come true! Reviewed on 27-12-2019

From the very beginning, David and the rest of the VDA team were incredibly helpful and responsive. The venue itself is absolutely magical, with endless photo opportunities including vineyards, vintage accessories, and sparkling twinkle lights all around the property. The views of the property and surrounding area at sunset were gorgeous. All of our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was.For an all-inclusive venue, we were able to work with their designer Monique to customize the ceremony space, flowers, linens, accessories, photo op spaces, etc. to ensure the entire experience was unique to our vision. The ability to provide input on all aspects of the wedding, while removing the stress of having to find vendors, was invaluable. We also saved a lot of money by not being tied to a bar package, as you are responsible for providing your own alcohol. VDA's day of coordinator Laura was also a life saver in making sure the rehearsal and wedding day flowed smoothly. We were able to fit in all of our reception traditions and still had time to eat, mingle, and dance. All of VDA's vendors including Ross Creations (DJ), Elegance on Display (cake), and The Studio by Leah Marie (photography) were top notch. Their experience with the venue and VDA staff made everything seamless and their work helped create the perfect day. I simply cannot think of a better wedding venue, from the staff, to the planning process, to the absolutely perfect day. We are so grateful to everyone at VDA for making our wedding day a truly unforgettable experience. Many of our guests agreed it was the best wedding they had ever been too!

Olivia Sketch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2019 Villa de Amore is the perfect wedding venue. We got married there in July 2019, and it was absolutely amazing. The natural beauty of the place is stunning. Flowers, fountains, statues, and endless photo ops. Several guests who attended our wedding are seriously considering using the venue for their own weddings or their kids’ weddings. They could not stop talking about the place. I think most guests who went to that wedding now have a photo of themselves somewhere at the venue as their new profile pic on social media. It was that gorgeous. The sunset over the beautiful Temecula hills was an incredible addition. This venue has preferred vendors (florist, baker, photographer, DJ, etc), who, if you choose to them, can be included in your price of the venue. It’s nice to make all of your payments in one place. We still got to work with each of the vendors individually and have our own meetings and planning sessions with them, but it was nice knowing that they are used to working at Villa de Amore and have that solid contact and relationship with the venue. Besides the beauty of this place, the staff is just as incredible. Laura is the day of coordinator, and she went through every detail with us while making it seem like a breeze. She was super fast to respond to emails and questions from me. I felt confident on the big day that she had every detail taken care of, and I could relax and enjoy it.Aimee was our caterer, and she made our guests very happy with all the delicious food. At our first food tasting she made us feel very taken care of and explained everything. She even accommodated us to come back a second time to make sure we got the menu perfect. Monique, the designer, made our wedding vision come to life. We were looking for a dark vintage theme, and I sent her pictures and ideas ahead of time. We then met with her to discuss and pick out decor, and she knew exactly what we were looking for. We had the best time looking through the venue’s supply of old antiques, beautiful vintage couches, and every shade and style of picture frames, candle holders, and vases you could ask for. She was quick to respond to any emails and questions from me as well. At the wedding, her choices on how to display the things we liked was impeccable. She came through 110%, and her stylized choices were a highlight of the wedding. Thank you so much Monique for your creativity and attention to detail. The rest of the staff was great as well, including Diana the security guard, who had my back all night and kept me from getting lost. She was even dancing at the end of the night by the entrance while we all danced at the reception. Eileen gave our initial venue tour, and her love and pride for the place was inspiring. David helped me over email, and Marcella helped us pick out our linens and reception table details. We used the venue’s preferred DJ, Ross Creations, their preferred baker, Elegance on Display, their preferred florist, as well as one of their preferred photographers, Adventure Stories by Us, who I was over the top impressed with, and for whom I’m leaving glowing reviews on their own respective pages.Villa de Amore was the perfect platform on which to have the biggest event our lives. The beauty of the space along with Monique’s decor and the professionalism and efficiency of the staff made our wedding the highlight of the summer. Thank you VDA, for everything.

She orchestrated a very smooth wedding day and we were on time for everything activity as planned. She was also very professional and quick in replying all of my emails and messages. I could not have asked for a better coordinator. The food for our wedding, including both appetizers and entrees were exceptional. We chose the crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms, and cheese/bread/fruit platter for appetizers and ribeye steak and swordfish for our guest entrees. Our guests absolutely loved the food and we are still getting compliments almost a month after! Lastly, the bartenders were friendly and quick with the drinks there was barely a line.

After speaking with David and learning all the great things that are included in having a wedding at this location, we felt that we had found the perfect place to get married. The fact that the officiant, florist, photographer, catering, and bakery were included helped reduce the stress of wedding planning. They had a few vendors from each category that we could choose from who have all done multiple weddings at this location. This also took a lot of stress off since we knew all the vendors have experience with and familiarity of the location to do an amazing job.Villa de Amore was very receptive to our dream wedding. We showed them specific pictures of what we wanted, and they were able to recreate them almost perfectly. Monique, the design coordinator, and Laura, the day of coordinator, are the best. The attention to detail throughout the venue made it even more special. She made us feel like she was organizing her own wedding with how much attention she paid to it. She also made sure everything went smoothly so we could enjoy the day stress free. Villa De Amore was so accommodating to our vision especially for dinner. We wanted to do a 4-course wine pairing dinner. Even though they had never done this for a wedding, they were willing to make it happen. We could tell all of our guests were having a great time because the reception was buzzing and full of conversation and laughter. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. To be able to execute 4 courses for 120+ guests along with pouring 4 different wines is a testament to how much skill and organization the staff has. Villa De Amore made our dream wedding a reality.

Although we live in Arizona we knew we wanted to get married in southern California. We took the time to tour 15 different venues and Villa de Amore was by far the best. As an all-inclusive wedding venue with a responsive staff, they made planning so easy for us despite the distance. There are many advantages to Villa de Amore. Firstly, the property is incredible. The landscaping and the estate are absolutely stunning and meticulously maintained. Secondly, the staff is awesome. The entire staff is responsive, kind, and professional. Thirdly, the cost is reasonable. As an all-inclusive venue, they do not nickel and dime you like many of the other venues. You supply your own alcohol which saves a great deal of money. You also have the flexibility of using their select vendors or opting for your own choice of photographer, florist, bakery or minister. Lastly, the cuisine at this venue was mouthwatering. Scheduling the tasting was easy and there were a wide variety of foods to choose from for the appetizers, salad and entrees. The plated dinner service was elegant and all the servers were professional and proficient. Who can forget the late-night street tacos? Overall, the cocktail hour and the reception dinner was a food lover’s dream. The food was delicious and our guests left not only satisfied but impressed.

Stacee Warner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-02-2018 When I see 5 star reviews, my expectations already start high, so I was expecting 5 star service, but what this place delivered was beyond that. You’d think if a business did the same thing over and over again, they may get complacent or “go through the motions” which is the vibe I got from some other venues I’ve seen, but from this place…never…not ONCE.The moment I stepped foot on the beautiful grounds, I was in love. Even on a rainy day, the villa was breathtaking. The owner, Elaine was super sweet, and excited to be taking me on this tour. When she was talking about her family run business (daughter and son in law in charge of catering and son is the manager) she was just bursting with enthusiasm. She was excited when she was talking about the endless inventory she acquires almost weekly to help decorate the grounds for your wedding day… then, we even shared a teary moment together when I talked about my day. This. Was. It. Then the cost… all inclusive!! Photography, cake, flowers, decorations, decor, day of coordinator (who is absolutely the best by the way), wedding design, catering, bar tenders, servers, officiant, DJ, linens, all covered!!! You will not be disappointed in their amazing choice in vendors.The Food.. AMAZING? We expected the food to be great but we were BLOWN away with how yummy it all was. We settled on Steak and Swordfish for our entrees and Shrimp Sliders, crab deviled eggs and a cheese display for appetizers. All my guests are still telling me how much they loved those Shrimp sliders. When they placed my husband's steak in front of him and my swordfish it was HUGE. That rarely happens to get amazing food and huge portions. I made SURE I ate it. Laura, the wedding day of coordinator (did I mention she’s the absolute best) was clear to make sure we knew we had 10 minutes to eat before the next thing.. so I definitely ate mine and some of my husband’s. She made sure we always had something to drink and was catering to our every need without us even having to ask her to, she literally just knew.I don't have enough room to mention each vendor individually even though I want to, so I'll just say the florist, photographer, the DJ, the cake baker, were all on point and amazing. I did separate reviews on their websites if you want to check it out!Bar- You can bring your own drinks! They serve them, but you bring them saving you money. I absolutely loved the way the showed off my signature drinks. The bartender stopped what he was doing when the bride needed a drink! He also ran, yes ran, when he didn’t have any apple cider at the bar and I wanted a pre-toast with my Jr. Bridesmaids. Bury the Bourbon-We had a tradition we wanted to do where we bury the bourbon on the property one month before the wedding and to prevent it from raining on your wedding day. Our wedding was in February, it was very possible. Most venues said it wasn’t allowed. Villa’s reaction? They loved the idea. They were excited to participate in something new. Not only did they let us bury it, but they had a table and shot glasses ready to go for us when we dug it up. It was a bright 82 degrees in Feb! Laura was there checking in on me before the wedding, grabbed all my belongings and gifts, she even ensured I had my flats when my feet hurt. It was undoubtedly the best day of my life and I wish I could relive it over and over again. The team of people the Villa pulled together went beyond my expectations and I was already expecting a lot. Reviewed on 09-03-2018
Hailee Chen(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-02-2019 The only thing keeping this review from receiving 5 stars was our experience with the photographers, which I will explain shortly.Wow, this venue was seriously perfect. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else. My husband and I knew that we wanted to get married in Temecula and checked out several wineries. They were all pricy, the bar only had their own wines and domestic beers like Budweiser, and random people would still be at the wineries during your wedding! We were starting to feel a bit discouraged until we checked out Villa de Amore. The owners are professional and know what they are doing. They truly have hired the best staff to take care of everything so you don't need to worry about it. And what sold us was the fact that you purchase your own alcohol and bring it for your guests, a much cheaper option than the standard per person prices at the wineries!We went with all the vendors they provided, though you aren't required to do that. The cake and flowers were beautiful and the officiant and DJ did an awesome job. Also, the food was INCREDIBLE! Not your typical \"wedding food.\" I would like to specifically point out how amazing Monique, the design coordinator, was. I am not creative at all so setting up decorations for my own wedding sounded a little stressful. However, Villa handles all of that for you and have a HUGE selection of decorations for you to choose from. We made a consultation with Monique beforehand. I told her my general vision and she took it from there. She truly made the venue look even more beautiful than it already is.I also want to talk about how amazing the day of coordinator, Laura, was. She was right by side when I needed her and made me feel so much more at ease. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Seriously, she was awesome.Villa has 2 options for photographers, The Studio and Melissa Jewel. We decided to go with The Studio for both our photos and video (not included in your price). The photos and video turned out so amazing. However, we did not receive them for far past their quoted amount of time. We were quoted 6-8 weeks for the photos and 10-12 weeks for the video. However, we did not receive the photos until over 10 weeks and the video took 16 weeks. After paying the amount of money that we did, we were a bit disappointed with how long the editing took without ever receiving an update email about the delay. If their original quote had been more accurate, I would not have minded waiting longer. But being promised a certain amount of time and then waiting over a month longer than that was quite frustrating. Several of my friends that had gotten married after me were posting their photos and videos long before I ever received mine and the waiting got old. If you don't want to deal with that, I'd suggest going with another photographer.Again, I'm upset that I couldn't give Villa 5 stars because of one component. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible this venue is and if you choose to get married here, I promise you will not regret it! Reviewed on 21-12-2017

It offers an all-inclusive wedding package that takes away all of the stress of trying to find and book multiple wedding vendors. Laura, the Wedding Coordinator, was so on top of every detail that we did not have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding! We also got to meet with Monique, the Wedding Designer, who allowed us to select from a huge collection of decor items that she used to personalize and decorate all different areas of the venue for our day. It saved us so much of the money and headache that usually goes into the small details. Ross, the DJ, was so easy to work with and was so great at reading the crowd to play just the right music at the right time. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. To top it all off, this venue is absolutely stunning! It overlooks the vineyards (with amazing views at sunset) and offers so many different spaces for all parts of the wedding to take place. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to any couple who wants a beautiful and unique venue without the stress of figuring out every detail on their own.

My husband & I live in Charlotte, NC. We have family in Orange County, CA that we visit so I had been to Temecula once before and loved it. We decided to start our search for the perfect wedding venue in Temecula. Villa de Amore was our first appointment and blew our expectations away! The staff/owners are incredible! Every square inch of the venue and grounds is gorgeous and so private! Monique is the designer and she will literally capture your entire vision and make it even more beautiful than you imagined. They make your wedding planning stress free as they work with great vendors and coordinate every little detail behind the scenes. Laura is the wedding day coordinator and was so great to work with! The florist did an AMAZING job, everything from the girls’ bouquets, the centerpieces, the flowers we added to the gate and my bouquet could not have been more perfect! The DJ was fun, cake turned out just how we wanted, we loved our officiant and photographer which were all recommended to us by Villa. Last but certainly not least, the food….SO GOOD! We went for a tasting back in April, which was so fun and made it extremely hard to even narrow down our selections. Everything from the appetizers, the late night snack and huge portions for dinner were delicious! Our guests have been raving about how great the food and service was. I honestly don’t know how many times we have been told this was the most beautiful wedding our guests have ever been to. I could not say more great things about Villa de Amore.

It was the best day of my life and it was all thanks to the wonderful, dedicated staff at the Villa. We visited the Villa back in July 2016. It was the only venue we looked at it and we knew instantly that it was the one. Being from New York City, we wanted to get married somewhere memorable, beautiful and picturesque. The Villa speaks for itself when it comes to this. Not only are the grounds beautiful, but the views of the Temecula Valley are just as breathtaking. We also loved how there were multiple areas on the grounds that were utilized for different parts of the night. This kept the night interesting and moving.

Crystal Ibarra(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2017 Where to begin. Well, every bride and groom knows that hassle to find the perfect spot to say, \"I do.\" My husband found the villa when one of the players from LA Galaxy got married there. He showed me the page and we made the appointment to go look at it. Once you pull up you're just surrounded by amazing views (in April). We fell in love with the venue instantly. We decided to get married on July 15, 2017. Having the major stuff included; for instance the flowers, DJ, cake, photographer and officiant; it takes that burden off the bride and groom to research and leave more deposits. Everything we submitted to the other vendors they would submit to the villa coordinator, Laura, who is fantastic. On our wedding day, The designer monique took our envision and made it much better. The Food, OMG the food, was phenomenal. I've been to my share of weddings and most of the time the food is mediocre, but can't complain as a guest when it's free. The chef at the villa Aimee well let's just say our guest wanted to take seconds home, that is how great the food was. Our friends and family couldn't get over how fantastic the venue was, the food, the cake and the service. Going back to Laura, she was amazing she took care of all of our needs, she was patient, but yet assertive. She even noted that I loved gummy bears and saved me some at the end of the night. If we had to do it all over again it definitely would be at the Villa de Amore. The major thing that we loved about the Villa was how family oriented the entire staff was and that means a lot to us. If you're looking for a location and that is all inclusive, I can guarantee that this elegant, accommodating and gorgeous venue is for you. They made our day so special and unforgettable.

The entire process was so easy and it was so nice knowing that it was going to look gorgeous. The food was outstanding! I'm not really a fish person but one of our entrees was the swordfish and it was absolutely amazing. We also chose the ribeye and we had a few guests say it was the best steak they ever had. We received so many compliments on the decor and I can only credit Monique and the Villa de Amore staff for all of it. Go with the vendors that are provided through the venue, you won't regret it! The choices for appetizers were a good variety and I loved that they cooked late night tacos at the end of the night for everyone. The venue is absolutely stunning and the photographers (Leah Marie Studio) know the BEST places, angles, and lighting to get the absolute perfect shots.

They take care of everything down to the tiniest detail with such care and personalization. Exquisite style, sensational cuisine, and incredible attention to detail were flawlessly orchestrated on our wedding day. Our guests enjoyed the breathtaking views, gorgeous ambiance in an elegant, romantic, and private atmosphere. I do plenty of research before I buy anything and our wedding day was no exception. Living in Orange County I looked all around southern California for the perfect venue. I thought I was going to have to lower my standards when asking for price quotes but my prayers were answered when I found Villa De Amore. I couldn't believe that a place this perfect could be this all inclusive and affordable. Villa De Amore was my first choice and when we met the owner Eileen it was last venue. You enter their grounds you are swept away with how beautiful it is, no picture does it justice. Then their team bring your dreams to life and puts your worries at ease. I couldn't ask for a better experience. They have everything there!When we moved from California to Pennsylvania we had to do most of the wedding planing via phone and email. The entire team got everything right without stress or going over budget. David is professional and compassionate for a busy bride. From the moment we connected with him, it was like planning with family but stress free He went above and beyond exceeding all our wedding expectations!Monique is an intuitive artist. She brings your Pinterest boards to life without you lifting a finger. Villa De Amore has all the decor you need. Monique will add personal touches that make your wedding all about you and your groom. The colors and decor flowed beautifully. Aimee was on point with the food and the service. They have options for every preference, it was hard to pick our favorites during the tasting. Laura our wedding coordinator was incredible. She is what a nervous bride needs, she has a calm and bright personality that keeps the day running smoothly. Because of Laura I was able to truly enjoy our wedding, I am so blessed to have had her apart of our day. Eileen, The owner of Villa de Amore created little piece of Heaven on Earth and rightfully so, you can tell all the love she has put in creating this beautiful estate from the ground up. There is no hidden agenda, she is transparent in providing you top notch wedding with everything you need at a fair price. That is not common in the wedding industry, there are always \"extra\" costs but not with Villa. Eileen is committed to doing what's best for her bride and groom. When my Fiance and I met her, we knew we were in the best of hands, you can tell she really cares and loves what she does. We fell in love with Villa because of Eileen, she is the soul that brings it all together. My words could never express how much gratitude I have for Villa De Amore. From day one the journey to our wedding day was a pleasure. I'm not sure what bride can truthfully say that but I was sad when the planning was over. Villa created the perfect wedding day for us.

Johanna A(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2017 First off, the Villa wasn't even on my radar when visiting locations in Temecula. It was a serendipitous visit, it so happened that we had some time to kill in between different wineries. We found this little estate and decided to give them a call. Luckily David answered and said we could come by for a quick visit and boy were we happy it happened! The venue is beyond beautiful, it reminded me of the movie a walk in the clouds - it is a completely romantic place that takes your breadth away. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, the best part was that everything was on the same grounds. The grounds themselves were gorgeous, perfectly manicured and a great layout for your full day experience. The bridal & groom suites were so beautiful as well, great location for the bridal party to toast before the actual day begins. The other amazing point about this place was that it was an all inclusive spot! We still had to work with vendors but they were pre-selected and were already included in the price. There really wasn't the hassle of looking for any vendors, it was great. It was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Not only was the price reasonable for everything you got but you also got a designer (Monique) who would bring your vision to life. They have a large room full of decorations for you to choose from, it was amazing! The people, the Villa had great people working with us from start to finish. This venue is special because it is a family run business, which means that they are all working in unison, it made our experience that much better. They were down to earth and easy going individuals that really made this stressful time a breeze. David, Monique, Aimee, Marcella and Laura! These were some of the key individuals that I was in constant communication. A special shout out to Laura as she was our day of coordinator and our go to girl! She really made the day flow as smoothly as you would expect it to be. It was truly 100 times less stressful knowing that she was there handling the issues that I would normally freak out about. I would HIGHLY recommend Villa De Amore - you will not regret checking this place out. Thank you to the Villa family, team, vendors and everyone for making our day truly memorable.

Joy Tsai(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2017 (March 18 Wedding)As a designer by profession, I had a very particular vision for, well, every inch of our wedding. I worried that an all-inclusive package might be \"cookie cutter\" and limit my options, but VDA provides experienced, quality vendors and allows you to use your own photographer/flowers/cake/officiant if preferred (if you use your own, they will credit you).VENUE-My now-husband and I looked at 4 venues with mixed feelings until we came across VDA. As other brides have said, it really was love at first sight. We picked our date and put down our deposit that very day. The other venues we looked at all had 1 or 2 nice areas for photographs, while the rest of the spaces were plain/underwhelming. VDA, however, has such a great variety of gorgeous spaces for photographs (gazebo, vineyard gate and views, rose garden, swing, ballroom, barrel room, bridal suite, groom's suite, twinkle lights, fountains, antique wine truck). The photo ops are endless.OFFICIANT-We chose Mark Lohman (included w/ VDA package), who was excellent. Mark took the time to meet and get to know us in person, and he created a lovely ceremony that made everyone \"aww,\" laugh and cry.CATERING-VDA's food was amazing and defied the typical \"wedding food\" reputation. We went with the Rib-eye and Pork Tenderloin for entree options. Guests raved about the great food and attentive service. The only big disappointments were the late night tacos (they are included, but it would've been better not to have them at all).ALCOHOL-The bartenders are included with VDA, but alcohol is bring-your-own. You save SO much money from buying your own alcohol! Most other venues require you to use theirs, which comes with a hefty markup. At VDA you can set your own budget. We were able to buy more/better alcohol and take the leftovers home afterwards (and spent about 50% of what we would've with open bar through a caterer). Win win win.DJ-DJ Ross was great. He acted as emcee for the day, kept the guests informed and kept the party going. Our guests had so much fun and danced until the very last minute.COORDINATOR-Laura was a calming force on the big day. She was somehow able to keep everything on schedule, inform everyone on where to be and what to do, and perhaps most importantly, make sure that my husband and I were fed! DESIGNER-Monique was incredible! I provided her with a detailed document with my many design requests, and she went above and beyond. She brought all of my ideas to life and further added to the look & feel I was going for. VDA has rooms full of props and furniture, so there's no need to rent anything.FLOWERS-Soiree Design did an amazing job with the florals. My bridal bouquet and altar arrangement were particularly stunning.PHOTOGRAPHY-We decided to use an outside vendor, Ether & Smith (received credit from VDA), who did a phenomenal job capturing our day.CAKE-We used an outside vendor, Cakes to Celebrate (received credit from VDA). We would definitely recommend checking them out. Both my husband and I are not usually fans of wedding cake, but Cakes to Celebrate are moist and not overly sweet.---The VDA team is so professional and experienced that I was able to rest on the big day, knowing that it would all be taken care of. Our day was truly perfect, and we have been getting compliments from guests on all aspects of our wedding. Is it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Reviewed on 14-04-2017

We instantly fell in love with the venue and locked in our date. I had a really busy year, finishing my Master’s and working full time, so I wanted an all-inclusive place. I did not want to worry about finding the best deal on flowers or even visit different bakeries to find the best tasting cake. I wanted a one stop shop and that is exactly what I got at Villa de Amore. Being a planner, and having high expectations, I was afraid to trust people I had never met with one of the most important days of my life. But along the way they, the staff, endlessly gained my trust. It started with the food…ALL of the food we tasted was DELICIOUS! We really couldn’t go wrong with any of the options. Then it was the meeting with the designer, Monique was wonderful… I showed her a picture and pointed at a few things I liked and then boom she knew exactly what I was looking for. The details were oh so lovely! And Laura, the day of planner, I LOVE YOU Laura, she was so great. At the rehearsal she had all of my e-mails printed and knew exactly what I wanted on my special day. She kept us moving forward and even did my bussell so we wouldn’t run late. Oh and I cannot forget David…he answered my, what seemed to be hundreds of, e-mails very quickly.

In addition to the wedding cake, we also had an ice cream bar (which was a real hit!). And finally for our late-night snacks, carne aside flautas, I think, were served (I didn't get to choose this, instead it's left up to them based on what is fresh at the local farmer's market that morning). \r\rThe cherry on top is that everything is organic. =D Reviewed on 27-05-2015

When we walked around the property for the first time we knew right away this is where we wanted to get married. It is a family owned Company and they are make you feel special every step of the way from the site visit, to the signing of the contract, to the planning to the rehearsal and the day of the event. During the planning process I had tons of questions. They always answered me promptly and were always helpful. The location is all-inclusive - they have a vendor list to select from. If you choose not to use their vendors they will credit you. We decided to select our vendors from their list. It made the wedding planning process a breeze. I felt very secure knowing all of these vendors were familiar with the property and have worked with them in the past. We made appointments with all the different vendors. All of the vendors were friendly, accommodating and easy to work with. The best part is we were extremely happy with the products and services from all of the vendors. The day of our wedding was gorgeous! David was our wedding coordinator the day of the wedding and he is awesome!

However, you won't have to worry about them not showing up b/c the Villa will take care of all of that for you! There was one thing that they missed that could have been a big deal if my parents had paid attention. Fortunately, they did not, and I am not particularly traditional or superstitious (I paid to have yellow flowers placed in the white flower balls...but that didn't happen), so I really don't have any big complaints! =) Lauren, our day coordinator, was wonderful - all smiles, no complaints, & highly accommodating to our requests!

Candice Conrad(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2012 Where to begin.... It all started with my first meeting with Eileen and Lauren. I came down to look around at the venue as a possible location for our wedding. It was that day I realized this was where we were going to get married. After the first meeting I brought down my now Husband to look at the venue and knew the same thing. This was where we were going to get married! We booked our date almost 2 years out. In the 2 years until our wedding I became to get to know the staff at Villa on a more personal level. Any questions or concerns I had they were so gracious to help and in a prompt manner as well. Eileen made my dream wedding become a reality! I owe her so much for all she did for us. Reviewed on 09-07-2012

Tina Bhargava(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2011 We decided to have our wedding at a vineyard in Temecula because living in San Diego we had been to so many weddings at so many venues and wanted to do something different for ours. From the minute we walked on to the Villa de Amore property we fell in love with the grounds. All of the staff was so wonderful especially the day of our wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing! They really helped pull together the wedding of my dreams! Reviewed on 26-10-2011
Denein Morris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2012 I am so happy that I found Villa De Amore on here comes the guide! Once I read the special offer I thought it was too good to be true until I actually saw the place in person.. Villa De Amore is the most gorgeous place I have ever seen for a wedding venue and after I went to the location I did not want to look anywhere else!! The staff are absolutely amazing and their vendors! They made planning a wedding seem so easy ;) My wedding day was like my dreams had come true!! Elieen and David are great, Lauren was great helping coordinate everything on my wedding day, John the DJ Divine Entertainment (he was great helping my husband and I and playing awesome music) , Christina and her team from Capture Moments (Can’t wait to see my beautiful photos), Rene Catering by Bitonti (People are still taking about how good the food was) , Carlos the florist made my beautiful flowers, Jennifer who made my wonderful cake Elegance on Display and Ken the minister. My guest loved the bartenders that worked there too, they had a fun time with them. The whole staff and the vendors works together as a team which made the whole night run smooth! Overall the wedding was AMAZING and PERFECT!! My guest are still talking about how beautiful and great it was and my wedding day was 9/22/2011. Thank you Villa De Amore for everything! I will spread the word that Villa De Amore is the number 1 place here in Temecula to get married =D Please future brides check out this place you will not regret it!! Reviewed on 18-10-2011
