Wedding Dreams Made
We loved Lake Oak Meadows! Its an absolutely gorgeous venue. The reason why I did not go huge on buying flowers or decorations because it speaks for itself. It is nicely spaced out where you can see all of the festivities going on without feeling like you are crowded or on top of each other. It has different areas for anyone in your wedding such as sitting by the bonfire pits, the camera booth, the separate dance floor, walking by the lake, sitting by the eating area. We can not speak more highly of this venue. Frank, the owner, worked with us ALOT to make our dreams come true with our budget. Nikki, our coordinator, was fantastic and so...We loved Lake Oak Meadows! Its an absolutely gorgeous venue.

Disappointing Experience with Poor Communication & Hidden Charges
While most of our wedding at LOM was beautiful, the planning process was frustrating due to poor communication, hidden fees, and lack of accountability.
Three weeks before the wedding, we were blindsided by an unexpected charge for two extra meals because LOM includes the bride and groom in the guest count—something never disclosed. This should have been clarified at booking, but instead, we were misled.
Then a final contract review revealed a $1,088 charge for absolutely nothing, due to an error when switching "late night bites" for an extra bar hour. LOM never informed us, ignored our concerns and attempts to speak via phone or email for five whole days, and sent three incorrect invoices.

LOM never informed us, ignored our concerns and attempts to speak via phone or email for five whole days, and sent three incorrect invoices. When the issue was brought to the actual owners, they then refused to rectify their staff's mistake or speak with us directly, so we went without the bar hour.
Wedding Day Highlights & Issues:
✔ Lisa (Day-of Coordinator) was fantastic.
✔ Jorge (main server) & bartenders provided excellent service.
✔ The food was delicious.
❌ Stephanie (Bridal Hostess) was scattered —late service, broken A/C, and neglected the groomsmen.
❌ Signature drinks we confirmed weren’t served.
❌ Our DJ, Patrick Hill, ignored our curated playlist, ruining the dance floor vibe/party. Biggest disappointment to us.
Frustrated, we left early for our afterparty. While the venue is stunning, LOM’s lack of transparency, organization, and customer service made the experience awful and disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. -

Best Day Ever!
It was the most amazing wedding, and I’m not just saying that because it is mine! I’m so grateful we didn’t have any hiccups thanks to our day of coordinator, Lisa. I highly recommended this gorgeous venue as it is the perfect combo of all inclusive style planning while still being able to add personal touches and detail (& I did a lot of things non ‘traditional’). I was planning from abroad so the planning process was just as important as the big day. Not only did everything turn out perfectly but honestly even better than I had envisioned.

Fairytale wedding
Venue was gorgeous. Picking vendors from within the Al inclusive option was stress free and easy. So many different options provided to suite everyone’s taste and view. Food was delicious. The set up was dreamy. The wedding went smoothly from start to finish. Timeline was on point. Everything was set up perfectly. Staff was friendly and on point with the service. Dj had everyone dancing the whole night. Literally the most perfect day I could have imaginedVenue was gorgeous. Picking vendors from within the Al inclusive option was stress free and easy.

Dream Come True
It was truly an incredible wedding venue and experience. The entire process was wonderful. The staff is professional, transparent, and extremely friendly and kind. The venue itself is a dream. It is so gorgeous, and in the evening with all the lights on, and the lake/fountain and fire, it turned truly magical.
Izzy and the staff were so attentive and helpful and transparent,
Kim Lozano our wedding coordinator was invaluable- words can't describe how incredible she was. We had weekly calls closer to the wedding keeping us on track, giving us our to do list and help come up with ideas for the wedding. Day of she was organized, and made out dream wedding come true.

She is honest, kind, professional and I feel so very lucky to have Kim coordinator our wedding
Creative Corner florist was unbelievable- the flowers provided were beyond what I could have dreamed. The flowers were so BEAUTIFUL. She worked with our budget, her communication and availability was outstanding, I recommend this florist in every possible way.
1914 Bakery was delicious- creative, good communication and outstanding.
DJ Pat was incredible. Professional, kind, excellent suggestions, listened to our likes and dislikes, and played music that was exactly our taste. He was wonderful
The food was outstanding and delicious. We chose snapper with lemon grass, tri tip with chimichurri and the proteins was excellent. Guests complimented our appetizers and we had some saved for us while we were taking photographs.
Everything was laid out in the contract so you understand going into the venue. It is very clear and transparent. Any questions about the contract we always answered immediately and made very clear.
We had an absolute incredible experience. We highly recommend this venue to everyone and our experience was outstanding.

The Isham wedding
The venue was absolutely beautiful the day of the wedding. The staff was very flexible and attentive to ensure our decor and seating chart wouldn’t get ruined in the rain. They said to select a person to help set everything up but the day of the staff ended up setting everything up which was nice so my sisters got to have more time to get ready. All the staff were very nice and helpful during the whole process. Early September is not a suggested time to get married as ours was the first weekend and it was 104 degrees outside and raining. ☔️The venue was absolutely beautiful the day of the wedding.

Our recent wedding
We toured many wedding venues around the Temecula area and LOM was by far the best one! Unlike most outdoor winery venues where there are lots of foot traffic from people visiting the winery, LOM is its own venue separated from the winery, so it’s more intimate and well maintained. We are more than happy and grateful that we picked them as our wedding venue. If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor winery venue with plenty of flowers/trees and greenery for that garden ethereal wedding, then LOM is for you! Not only was the venue absolutely stunning in the summer time as we had a June wedding, but the staff we worked with are amazing!

Not only was the venue absolutely stunning in the summer time as we had a June wedding, but the staff we worked with are amazing! Izzy is the main go to person, and she was always very quick at responding via email and answered all my questions throughout the year of wedding planning. Kim was our day of coordinator, and I couldn’t ask for a better coordinator. She was so organized and went over every detail of the wedding multiple times so that we could just have fun and enjoy the day of the wedding without having to worry about anything. She contacted all the vendors in advance and worked with them on the day of to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of our wedding. Both Lizzy and Kim are amazing to work and made planning our wedding stress free. Also, LOM is an all inclusive venue, so it was easy to work with their catering, baker, etc. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience at LOM and would recommend it to all of our friends and family wanting a wedding in the Temecula area.

Our June 2024 Wedding
Our wedding in June 2024 was absolutely amazing. We toured so many wedding venues in the Temecula Valley and Lake Oak Meadows stood out to us right away. Right when we walked down the stairs into the venue we knew it was going to be the one. The staff were so kind and amazing all around. From planning the wedding to the day of it was stress free. Lake Oak Meadows staff and vendors were extremely kind and attentive to our needs. They answered all our questions in a very timely manner and truly cared about our special day with every little detail. The venue is extremely clean and very well taken care of.

Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how amazing the venue was. A couple months before the wedding they had an event where couples who had booked a wedding date with them could show up and try out food and drinks and also talk to vendors and their wedding coordinators. It was a great experience to see how your perfect wedding day would be and also a great chance to ask any questions or bring up any concerns during your wedding planning. We never felt rushed during our planning process. The greatest part about Lake Oak Meadows is that almost everything is Customizable to suit your special day! -

Amazing Venue
We absolutely loved our wedding at Lake Oak Meadows. The venue is perfect. Our ceremony turned out amazing and looks wonderful in all of our pictures. This truly is a picture perfect place to get married. Our coordinator was so helpful leading up to the ceremony and making sure things went smoothly. We loved having a bridal suite just feet away from our venue and reception. Great for pictures and getting ready for the wedding. We enjoyed the reception and the food. We paid for the top premium package and were expecting to have the best staff Lake Oak had to offer, and up until a week before the wedding we felt that’s what we were getting.

We paid for the top premium package and were expecting to have the best staff Lake Oak had to offer, and up until a week before the wedding we felt that’s what we were getting. Just days before our wedding, our officiant switched on us and so did our DJ. The officiant did his job well, just not what we were expecting. Our DJ was the only downfall of our experience. We went through lake oak package and we were in contact with DJ mike for months leading up to the wedding. The week of we were told he is not working our wedding and assigned someone else to do it. He was not attentive or friendly with our guests. Did not take the Lead as an MC/Coordinator for the reception. Did not follow our timeline correctly and mispronounced our wedding party. Just did not seem like we were getting the quality of service we were paying for. It truly was a damper on our experience and unfortunately took us out of enjoying our reception with guests because we were stressed running around trying to get our guests organized for events, dancing, and send off. We took our issues to Administration/accounting and they were unaware that our officiants were switched or who our DJ was even supposed to be. Our experience was still amazing and we love Lake Oak Meadows, we just wouldn’t want anyone to have the same issues we did when paying that amount of money for their wedding. -

Verbally Assaulted Bride
If you care about security and a safe environment for your loved ones DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE. We had multiple groups of drunk people walk through our event and use our assigned restrooms. Two different groups even verbally assaulted me (one of the brides) when told it was a private event. One of those groups that verbally assaulted me, helped themselves to drinks at our open bar and food; they were dancing with our family and friends, then proceeded to verbally assault me when I confronted them. After all of this, multiple witnesses, stolen items, filing a formal complaint to the venue owners, their response is “your event is not private, all we can do is attempt...If you care about security and a safe environment for your loved ones DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE.

Mind you, we were REQUIRED to pay for security as part of our contract, yet there was NONE -

Wedding Crashers
I’ll start off by saying the vendors we worked with were great. Flowers were beautiful, catering was delicious, DJ/MC kept the party going, coordinators were pleasant to work with. The venue itself is beautiful. Positive things to say end there.
If you’re ok with angry drunk wedding crashers from the winery storming into your wedding for free drinks, food, and dancing, then this is the venue for you! We recently had a wedding here and had random drunk winery guests regularly walking through and crashing our reception. Although the venue requires payment for security in the contract, there was no security working at our reception.

We recently had a wedding here and had random drunk winery guests regularly walking through and crashing our reception. Although the venue requires payment for security in the contract, there was no security working at our reception. While we were seated at dinner, groups of people were walking in between the sweetheart table and our guest tables. Random drunk people would show up and yell profanities at my wife, myself, and our guests. Winery people even tried to fight the bride at one point because they didn’t want to leave our reception and they wanted to keep eating and drinking on someone else’s tab. We had to keep telling angry drunk winery people that we were having a private event and asking them to leave because security was nowhere to be found.
This venue is going to promise that you will have your own private area, bathrooms, and will stay completely separate from the public winery. This is completely false. In fact, when I complained about everything that happened, they responded that all they can do is “attempt semi-privacy” and basically that’s what we get for booking at a winery in Temecula. They called drunk aggressive wedding crashers a “slight hiccup”. We booked a year in advance but it seems this place changes leadership and staff frequently so things are changing constantly and it’s unorganized. By the time we had our event, the parking lot for weddings didn’t even have permits, our guests had to park in a faraway dirt lot by some dumpsters.

Lake Oak Meadows
Absolutely incredible venue to hold your wedding day at! My wife and I toured multiple venues in Temecula, mostly wineries, but Lake Oak Meadows stood head and shoulders above them all.
What sets this venue apart from many in Temecula is that it was constructed primarily as an event venue with the special day in mind, with the bonus of including a winery on the grounds. By holding your wedding day here, compared to many wineries, you're avoiding the large crowds that tend to intermix with your wedding guests during much of the day. This makes things far calmer and more enjoyable for you and your guests.

Many vendors come included with this venue but what makes it particularly convenient is that they have all worked together numerous times, making the day run incredibly smoothly.
From the gorgeous stairway surrounded by grapevines down to the ceremony space surrounded by the lake to the reception area, the scenery could not be more stunning. We couldn't be happier with how our day went and personally hope to attend another wedding there just to experience its elegance again from another point of view! A+ wedding venue. -

The most magical day!
Looking at venues can be overwhelming, especially because of the mixed experiences people can share. My experience was amazing! Something about Lake Oak Meadows grabbed my attention, and I scheduled a tour that was the one I was most excited for. During our tour, my heart knew this is where we were meant to get married, and so we did. My experience with LOM was nothing short of incredible. Truly, every detail was considered with this venue… many breathtaking photo opportunities, the dock for the final dance, the dance room, the stunning tent, the water and the fire features, the build of the bar, the fun and full service getting ready rooms, the tasty food, the responsive and professional...Looking at venues can be overwhelming, especially because of the mixed experiences people can share.

An Actual Fairytale
If you want your wedding to be an absolute fairy tale, this is THE place.
Shortly after I was proposed to, I did what most women do and I started obsessively watching wedding TV shows. On the show “I Want THAT Wedding” the season finale displayed a venue that was noted as cost effective and whimsical. Oh, and there was fire in the lake at the vineyard. Fire + lake + vineyard? Wow! Living in North Hollywood my interest immediately piqued when I heard that this place was in Temecula… Not too far at all!

Living in North Hollywood my interest immediately piqued when I heard that this place was in Temecula… Not too far at all!
As soon as we arrived at the venue to do a tour with Jasmine, my now husband and I knew 100% this was the place that we wanted to get married. Jasmine had even texted us the morning of to ensure we had quick access to get ahold of her if we needed to connect that morning prior to our visit. It’s the small stuff, ya know? She treated us to a glass of champagne while we reviewed the packages available. My husband doesn’t usually alcohol, but he really enjoyed the champagne (as did I).
We had given ourselves a very short turnaround time to get married… We wanted to get married as soon as possible and barely had four months to figure it out. During our tour we discovered that this venue had everything figured out for us. All of the things that I was too stressed to figure out were included at this place… The officiant, the DJ, the floral group, the bakery, plate chargers, colored napkins, a day of planner, the food, photo booth, alcohol, golf carts, a horse and carriage… YUP, a horse and carriage!
Another small but special detail that really convinced us this place was great - after our initial tour, we were enjoying more wine in the tasting area, and when we were done we hopped on a complimentary golf cart ride back to our car. All over the property they have folks on carts offering to help transport people to their car, restroom, etc. We left right at the time that they were flipping over to an evening wedding. We got the opportunity to witness the professionalism and attentiveness that the gentleman driving the golf cart had. Though he remained very pleasant towards us, it was fantastic to see his attention switch to the wedding and hear the people on the walkie-talkies put their focus on someone’s special evening. We felt lucky to witness the professionalism and enthusiasm the employees had towards the event.
Thought then venue has an efficient day of planner, my partner and I opted to get a full planner of our own. Upon solidifying our wedding date, Lake Oak and ALL vendors worked harmoniously with our planner to ensure a seamless special day.
Every little detail throughout the whole process was either exactly what we wanted, or what we didn’t even know that we needed. You can adjust your package in many ways. They even have a wedding suite for every one to get ready in. It’s divided by having women on the top floor, men on the bottom with separate entrances. The men’s floor has a pool table, dart board, foosball table and barber chair. The women’s floor is well lit, spacious, has makeup chairs, and a bed. You’ll be assigned a host for the day that ensures your wedding party has adult beverages.
I could go on and on but I really want to emphasis that Lake Oak Meadows is a great cost, the employees have incredible work ethic and positive energy, and that it really is a magical place.
I’ve signed up for their wine club because I want an excuse to keep going back to the place that will forever be imprinted on my heart. Thank you Lake Oak Meadows for being one of the best choices I’ve ever made-

My fiance and I work in law enforcement and were super careful about being upfront with what we wanted in the wedding and following their rules. We had prior approval with our day-of coordinator to pass out small shooters of alcohol in the ceremony. It wasn't until two days later that we got fined for an "alcohol violation." Apparently we weren't supposed to hand out shooters. When I told management I had approval with my coordinator, they then changed the reasoning to because they found an empty beer can in the suite. I can say with 100% certainty that our bridal party did not bring any outside alcohol into the suite as requested. Friends and family...Not recommended.

I can say with 100% certainty that our bridal party did not bring any outside alcohol into the suite as requested. Friends and family did stop by the suite to say hi and probably left their trash behind. But we got fined $515 for trash left by people coming by to say hi. No employees mentioned anything to us on the day of or asked about outside alcohol. They literally fined us $500+ for trash left behind by wedding guests.
We also paid for a second bartender that was non existent most the evening. When we asked the single bartender where he was, she slipped up and said they usually send him home around 7-8. We had to go to management and ask for the second bartender we paid for and were returned with nothing but a huge attitude.
We never got our grand exit that we had requested and planned for!
The venue communication leading up to the wedding was awful. Id go days and weeks without hearing back from anyone, and it seemed as if the things I requested were always lost in translation. They always blamed it on "changing management."
The venue definitely is beautiful. My day of coordinator was very sweet and helpful. But I feel so disappointed by how we were treated by Lake Oak Meadows and for the insane amount of money we paid for the wedding, I would have definitely gone somewhere else.

Wish I had more time to find a better place
Very disappointed in this venue. It was a nightmare to get any assistance as soon as we paid. Before we paid it was great. I would not recommend this venue as there are so may pretty ones in Temecula with hopefully much better service. The bridal room was not ready when we got there. The only reason we didn’t cancel this venue and lose our money is because of one person, Lisa. She was the only
One who would help and try to if questions. The food was ok. The dj was ok but barely contacted me a day or so before. There were ants everywhere including on the dinner tables. I highly recommend another venue for the same price.Very disappointed in this venue. It was a nightmare to get any assistance as soon as we paid. Before we paid it was great.

Breathtaking wedding!
My husband and I got married at LOM on March 24th. When we first visited the venue, we knew right away that this was the one. The entire venue is absolutely breathtaking. Being a busy couple, we loved that this venue was all-inclusive and had all the vendors picked out for us. The only vendors that they did not offer were the photographer and videographer. All the vendors were absolutely amazing to work with and they took our vision and made it a reality.

After we signed our contract, we did notice that they were going through a Management change and there were minor hiccups with communication and some changes that were unexpected, including the Honeymoon suite being no longer available. However, we understand that with any big changes, there may be some small bumps.
Some shoutouts for the people at LOM: Brenda was our day-of coordinator. She was attentive, supportive, and got everything done! We are so thankful to have Brenda to make sure everything went perfectly. Yasmin from Catering was also spectacular during our tasting and super responsive. Courtney is part of the venue coordinating team and always answered my emails/questions in such a timely manner. Victoria was also our bridal hostess and she was the best. She made sure that we had everything that we needed and was very welcoming. Thank you all!
Let's talk about the actual day. It was the most magical wedding -- more than anything I could have ever imagined! The Bridal Suite was comfortable and beautiful for getting-ready photos. My bridesmaids, Mom, and I had such a wonderful time getting ready and spending quality time together before the ceremony. The ceremony itself was gorgeous. I opted to pay a little extra to ride on the horse & carriage, which is SO worth it (if you are on the fence about it, don't be! It totally blew my guests away and it was also a great time to have a nice chat with my dad before walking down the aisle). The entire night from cocktail hour to last dance was absolutely incredible. Amazing food, service, bartending, DJ, and more.
I highly recommend LOM!-

Lake Oak Meadows was the Perfect Venue
I love this venue! My husband and I chose this venue because it is beautiful. We knew that it would be perfect for our vision of a nice winery rustic wedding. I had read one or two reviews stating that they had a difficult time communicating with the venue;however, I did not have that issue. Tessa, from the venue, was very responsive and eased any concerns. The venue did not need much as far as decorations go. Our guests gave us so many compliments. And at night— this place lights up. I don’t think we could have picked a better location to have our special day.I love this venue! My husband and I chose this venue because it is beautiful.

Above and beyond
I got married recently here. Like many brides lately I had to reschedule. However, all of the lovely ladies in the office made things as easy on me as possible. They worked with me and tried to accommodate our first date as much as possible. Even offered a small ceremony and the reception on a later date. I was impressed with the customer service I received!
Then we came to the wedding day! My bridal attendant Brenda was amazing! I have her running around delivering things. Taking my wedding party here and there. She took it all in stride and made my morning so stress free!

Our coordinator Hayley was an absolute angel! She went above and beyond to help us get our mostly diy wedding all set up. She rallied my rowdy group which is not the easiest to do!
The recpetion was amazing as well! The catering was amazing and my guests were so impressed!
Dj Mike was the best! Kept the party going for us!
Hannah in the bar was the sweetest thing! She handles the busy bar so well!
The serving staff and captain were amazing as well! They made sure the area was kept clean and our water and bellies full!
Overall I could not have asked for a better experience! 10/10 recommend to any! -

Perfect Dream Wedding
My daughter had her perfect dream wedding this past July at Lake Oak Meadows.
Everything was outstanding from start to finish. When we arrived the morning of the ceremony, our suite attendant - Janelle - welcomed us and had everything ready for the bridal suites. She was extremely helpful, cheerful, and available for anything needed while getting ready.
Our day of coordinator - Lisa - was an absolute Godsend! Several weeks before the wedding she spent a long time on the phone with my daughter detailing everything my daughter wanted.

Our day of coordinator - Lisa - was an absolute Godsend! Several weeks before the wedding she spent a long time on the phone with my daughter detailing everything my daughter wanted. She was also available several times after for emails, questions, and phone calls. She gave advice, helped with timelines and expectations, and contacted all the vendors beforehand. She also was very patient as we gave her several revisions to the seating chart leading up to the day of the wedding. Lisa also made sure everything was set up exactly how we envisioned - even as we changed a few things last minute. When she was ready to leave just before the dinner started, she made sure to let me know she was leaving and that we were in good hands. For the rest of the evening, our DJ - Taylor - kept everything moving along flawlessly. Taylor had a great personality and did an incredible job! (If anyone needs a great DJ - look him up with Good Time Entertainment - you won't be sorry!)
Adding to the spectacular evening was Temecula Catering. The food was delectable! So many of our guests have been raving about the food and saying it was the best they have ever had at a wedding. It truly was outstanding! The wait staff was superb as well! Even the security guard - Thomas - was extremely helpful and friendly! The staff and vendors provided by Lake Oak were unbelievably fantastic and treated us as if we were the most important people that day.
Of course, the venue itself couldn't be any more beautiful. The grounds are some of the prettiest and most enchanting I have ever seen. The daylight showcases spectacular flowers along the water, gorgeous trees, and beautiful vineyard areas, then the entire place lights up in the evening with twinkle lights everywhere, and fire in the lake! It was magical!
The wedding and every moment of the day was absolutely perfect!
Thank you thank you to Lake Oak Meadows and all the incredible staff and vendors!

Beware- Bartenders stole our Honeymoon Funds
Beware brides!
Their bartender took off with our honeymoon funds! When I contacted Lake Oak Meadows they were just as disgusted about the situation. The Bartenders tried to put the blame on the groom... saying they removed the fund and handed it to him, he never received them, also this break protocols of staff touching anything of ours. How tacky is that? They (bartenders )drank on our dime got super drunk broke my table displays and gave away all of our extra alcohol we bought and provided them with , they also charged my guest during cocktail hour when we had a paid bar. This place is an absolute shit show! There's no doubt this venue is beautiful but...Beware brides!

This place is an absolute shit show! There's no doubt this venue is beautiful but it's not worth the headache and disappointment. I tried to be reasonable with LOM and not report them to the police. But it wasn't until they "couldn't access their cameras" I knew something was shady. They dodged my calls, my emails, and my text messages. The told me they couldn't access my day of videos and their owner Frank Aglio was too busy in meetings to view the cameras. I'm sorry, a crime was committed on Frank and Lisa's property and they're too busy to call me or look into it? Steer clear. They already have lawsuits against them for their practices. They have an F rating on the BBB which they tried changing the name in July 2020 because of their poor ratings. What a nightmare. -
