    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. When the...

    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 imagined

    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...

    My husband and I just had our beautiful wedding here and it was just a dream. Everything came out perfect as I was hoping for. The staff, the whole vibe was completely amazing. Wish our wedding day never ended!

    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. ☔️

    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! Izzy is the...

    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...

    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. Just days...

    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...

    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. While we were seated at dinner, groups of people were walking in...

    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...

    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...

    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!

    As soon as we arrived at the venue to do a tour with Jasmine, my now husband and I knew...

    Not recommended

    Not recommended.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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. 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...

    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...
