Rio Hondo absolutely exceeded my expectations and made our wedding day incredible. We are especially grateful for David, who was with us from our first planning meeting until the day of our wedding -- we truly could not have had a more amazing day-of coordinator. On our wedding day, David took care of all of our signage and decor and made sure it was set up exactly as we wanted, coordinated with all of the Rio Hondo vendors to ensure everything we'd asked for was going according to plan, and consistently checked in with us to make sure we were eating, drinking, and enjoying the day. We also heard from our parents that he regularly made sure that they were doing OK and to see if they needed anything, which we know meant a lot to them. David put the kind of care and attention into our wedding that we would have expected from a close friend or family member -- that is how genuinely invested we felt he was from beginning to end.

All of Rio Hondo's vendors were amazing, as well! We worked with LMP photography, which was one of Rio Hondo's recommended vendors, Little Blue Hummingbird for florals, and DJ Scott. It made a real difference to work with vendors who knew the venue well, and made everything from communication to day-of coordination so much easier. The all-inclusive nature of the Rio Hondo packages was a big plus for us, and we were really thrilled to have it work out the way we had hoped. Annie with Little Blue Hummingbird deserves a special shoutout for making our vision for florals really come to life, and DJ Scott really went above and beyond to include all of the different kinds of music we requested while still creating a great atmosphere. Some of our guests even commented that they thought DJ Scott was a friend of ours given how kind and enthusiastic he was throughout the night. DJ Scott, David, and our LMP photographers all checked in with us throughout the night to make sure things were going on track and to make suggestions to the timeline as the day evolved.

We also heard from a TON of guests about how great the food and drinks were, which really surpassed our expectations. We got particularly rave reviews about the appetizers, prime rib carving station (we booked the elite package, so that was included), and signature drinks -- it was so fun to be able to include that. Coming from someone who did a lot of research before choosing a venue -- after considering the quality of food and drinks, the value of all of the details that are included in the package, the beauty of the space, and the benefits of having high-quality vendors, coordinators, etc. who all work together, I have no doubt that Rio Hondo's offerings are a much better value than many of the other venues you can find in Los Angeles. We are incredibly grateful to the whole Rio Hondo team for making our day so special, and would absolutely recommend it to others.

We got married on NYE’s Eve and if I could get married again at Rio Hondo I would! From start to finish our experience was truly amazing. Our initial meetings with Fabiola were very informative and she was always so knowledgeable and always answered our questions promptly! We also really appreciate the flexibility with the Rio Hondo team as we are from out of town and planning a wedding long distance can be stressful. Rest assured the Rio Hondo team handled everything extremely professionally and with so much care! Huge shoutout to our wedding coordinators David and Tamica, they were spectacular and we felt taken care of from the rehearsal to the wedding day. David and Tamica went above and beyond and we felt we could trust them with anything! We will forever cherish their kindness and professionalism! We also wanted to give a huge shout out to the chef CJ, who cooked amazing food all day! Our guests could not stop talking about the food! In addition, both Natalia and Nestor, our banquet captains, were amazing all night and very attentive to any of our needs. We honestly had an amazing experience and would do it all over again at Rio Hondo!

The staff at Rio Hondo are kind, patient, and professional. They helped me stay within my budget, asking me questions to help what I couldn’t live without or could leave out. I didn’t feel like they were trying to sell things to me, rather help me create a wedding that really matched what I wanted. My wedding is seriously the best day of my life. I still think back and smile because I had so much fun! Thank you to everyone at Rio Hondo Wedgewood!! Special shout out to David our day of coordinator, he was fun and helpful!
