Villa de Amore Reviews

I got married here on July 7th, 2024 and it was PERFECT. The stress of wedding planning was taken off my shoulders by the amazing coordinating, DJ, design, floral, photography, and catering team of Villa de Amore. They were so flexible, communicative, attentive, helpful and detail-oriented. They all made my wedding magical.

On the day of, Havilah, the coordinator was an absolute angel. She is absolutely phenomenal. The schedule of events went seamlessly and we had time to do everything! We are so happy to say we truly enjoyed our wedding day.

From the first day, we toured the villa, my husband and I just knew! The pricing is also hard to beat considering their all-inclusive covers just about everything except the cake and desserts. Their food was also SO delicious! Our guests had the best time and loved all the food! They truly have it all! Don't hesitate to tour and book this venue. They are all so kind and really make you feel right at home.

Thank you so much Villa de Amore! We are forever grateful

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. If you are getting married, I would HIGHLY recommend an all inclusive venue and even more so picking Villa De Amore.
From the beginning, everyone was so friendly and easy to work with. They were incredibly helpful and responsive. The venue is absolutely beautiful. What sold us was how easy it was to plan, they take care of every single detail, including decor, coordination, florals, DJ, etc. and the best part is all the vendors work together all the time so they know how to operate as one flawless team. David (owner), Mandi (design), and Tori (coordinator) were the team we mainly worked with and they completely made my wedding dreams come true, making it a beautiful and stress free day. I could talk for hours about how much I loved this venue and team. THANK YOU VDA, every single one of you are absolutely the best.

Villa de amor was a dream and created our dream wedding! They were all so helpful and made sure we were taken care of and that my wedding vision came to life! I would recommend this wedding venue to everyone and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

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!

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!

Our wedding was conducted on 7/15/2023, and we could not be happier with how it turned out!

We booked VDA over a year in advance, and all throughout this time VDA has been clear in their communications and requests, and quick in their responsiveness to our inquiries. From flowers, cakes, photography, and music, VDA made the process so much more simple than if we had to built it all from scratch. Frankly, it likely would have cost more time and money to have the wedding we wanted (and which VDA delivered) if we had to do everything on our own, so in our minds it was a very sound investment.

Day-of coordinators were on point. Speaking as the groom, I never felt lost or otherwise at a loss for “what to do next,” and if I did have a question, it only took a moment to scan the room to find a coordinator, and they would immediately come over to help me out. The same can be said for the wedding party as well: If there were ever any need, the coordinators were easy to spot, and quick to attend to those questions.

(My only regret WOULD have been that I did not have time to enjoy any of the taco bar. As we were packing up for the night and leaving the venue, one of the coordinators provided me with a plate filled with tacos, despite my having not mentioned my disappointment. Again, they are INCREDIBLY attentive!)

The venue itself needs no exaggeration: The beautiful scenery and décor are accurately depicted, and you have so much flexibility in customizing each area for yourself and your guests to relax, have fun, or revel in the moment.
It was a bit warm the day of the wedding (apx. 93 F), but our guests were well attended to with ice water and parasols during the outdoor ceremony. Cooling did not appear to be a problem inside, and by the early evening, there was a refreshing breeze that took any remaining edge off.

The cigar bar was a last-minute addition, and we were concerned it may have been a flop. But the stunning and inviting décor that VDA assembled as part of this feature instantly drew many members of our family, and was perhaps a “hot spot” as far as conversation, fun, and photos.

Vendors that work with and are familiar with VDA were all wonderful, including Elegance on Display, Captured Photos Booths, Leah Marie Photography, and Ross Creations.

Thanks for the memories!

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.

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. It was truly a dream come true for us!

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". The pictures just don't do it justice - it is a stunning place to have your wedding!
Thank you VDA for helping us to create our dream wedding!!

We hosted our wedding at Villa de Amore in March, and everything was absolutely stunning and more beautiful than I could imagine. The venue was beautifully decorated with elegant floral displays, breathtaking views, and plenty of picturesque spaces for guests to mingle and dance the night away.

David, Eileen and the staff at VDA are all incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating. The food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks were expertly crafted and served with a smile, the cake and dessert treats were all so delicious and beautifully presented. My flowers were stunningly gorgeous and I cannot thank Mandi and Veronica enough for creating such a beautiful bouquet.

I had the pleasure of working with Brittany as my day of wedding coordinator, and I can confidently say that she was an essential part of making the day run so seamlessly. 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. The wedding was absolutely stunning, and everything ran like clockwork thanks to the professionalism of the entire staff. I received countless compliments from my guests about how beautiful and well-organized the day was. Everyone at VDA was a pleasure to work with, and helped make my wedding day one that I will cherish forever.

Villa De Amore felt like family. From Mandy and Veronica working on design with us and getting to know us as a couple to Karen walking us through the day like a fairy godmother. It was truly a magical experience. I couldn’t imagine a better venue and group to work with. We also chose Melissa for photography and Ross for our DJ, and both of them went above and beyond.

I had my wedding 2/18/23 and I had such a magical experience with Villa de Amore. My day of coordinator was Brittany and she was so great at making sure I was comfortable, fed, on schedule, and did not stress. I did not feel stressed at all. The venue itself is gorgeous and had so many places to take photos and is spacious.
I appreciated the venue being all inclusive in which they have venders that are familiar with the area and prioritize weddings. The cake that we ordered from the vendor was just as delicious as when we tried it. The DJ had everyone dancing and having a great time. I highly recommend getting married at this location. It was wonderful to see the design team and florals become a reality. I got so many compliments on the food so thank you catering and to the bartenders for providing great service. The venue has a design team that will really create your dream wedding. I cannot thank you enough for the detail and artistry that made our wedding unique to us.

If I could rate more than 5 starts I would. This all inclusive venue will make the brides wedding planning a breeze. For a set price they include flowers, food, appetizers, pianist, cake, coordinator, DJ, late night taco stand and much more. 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.

If u don’t want to have to worry about all the small nuances and all the little details, i would HIGHLY recommend using this company. I felt like I had so little to actually worry about when it came to the wedding. They catered to my every need and were so pleasant to work. Even when it came to last minute changes. If you want a stress free wedding, book through villa de amore, you won’t regret it :)

Villa de Amore is the perfect wedding venue. My wedding was an absolute dream and I owe it all to the wonderful staff. Everyone we worked with was so helpful, especially Laura the coordinator. The designers/florists also did an amazing job. And of course the food was incredible. I can't say enough great things about this venue and highly recommend if you want an outdoor venue that is all-inclusive.

We got married 11/12/2021 and it was hands down one of the best days of my life largely due to the amazing job they did at Villa de Amore! Everything was super organized and stress free and everything I wanted for the day plus some! Would highly recommend this venue!

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

After searching many venues, we found Villa de Amore and we are so happy we went ahead and booked them for our wedding! It really does include almost everything but the dress… stunning views, beautiful bridal suite, photographer, florist, baker, catering, linen, design, officiant, coordinator, DJ… amazing!

Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful but VDA made the transition smooth. It was definitely a plus having almost all the vendors we needed through VDA because that meant I didn’t have to worry about reaching out to multiple vendors to see if they were available for the new wedding date; we simply told VDA the new date we wanted and they took care of the rest!

Huge thank you to Laura, our coordinator! She. Is. Amazing. Always on top of things, answered all of my emails in a timely manner, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of 

The entire team goes above and beyond… they keep in touch with you throughout the wedding process, make sure all of your questions are answered, and are very professional.

David, Eileen and the rest of the VDA team, thank you all so much for everything you did. Our wedding was beautiful; we and our guests had an amazing time. We can’t wait to come back and visit!

We cannot wait for our Nov 2020 Wedding here. Staff was amazing and so helpful. Took the stress off planning this day right off! We just saved our date and we literally have it all planned now!!!

Probably had the best overall value and everything is included! Also BEAUTIFUL venue and PRIVATE! Meaning you don’t have to share with wine tasters!

The Villa de Amore property is stunning and the staff are professional, pleasant and extremely organized! VDA was the first and only property my fiancé and I toured. We had a couple other tours scheduled but decided to cancel as we felt VDA was everything we needed and more. And we love that it is a family run business, you can tell there is a lot of love and care that has gone into the property. We finalized our contract and the various managers/vendors/coordinators have reached out to us to help us begin our planning!

David gave me an hour long tour. Everything offered makes for an enjoyable experience planning a wedding. All the difficulties that I had planning my first daughter’s wedding 5 years ago would have been avoided had I known about Villa De Amore. Hopefully this is where the wedding will be if I can afford it!!!

Our wedding was just perfect! Laura the wedding coordinator is amazing. She is on top of it!! I loved how everything was inclusive. You get to pick out everything you want, there are just a few things you need to do yourself. It was a gorgeous venue!! We all absolutely loved it and eas so happy I got to get married there.

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!

With villa de Amore and all the staff there, I was able to have my perfect fairytale wedding! From the moment we first viewed the venue through the wedding day, all the staff were incredible! The venue itself is stunning and extremely elegant. All our guests have raved that this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. it had everything was hoping for- greenery, vineyard, roses, and twinkle lights everywhere.
