Mount Palomar Winery

If you're looking to get married at a winery, look no further. Mount Palomar is breathtakingly beautiful, and a top notch venue to work with! It's situated at the top of a hill so the views from your ceremony site are incredible, plus the outdoor courtyard for the reception is dreamy! This was the 5th venue we ended up touring and after we visited, we were teary eyed because we knew we didn't even need to keep looking. Not to mention, it's extremely affordable compared to other venues in Temecula/SD/LA! Plus it is DOG FRIENDLY :)

Shellie was our POC from the very beginning and was with me from 9AM to 11PM for my wedding. She is amazing to work with! She really knows the venue inside and out, is on top of her game, and never missed a beat! I work in the event planning industry and as soon as I met Shellie, I knew I was in good hands. Because I ended up hiring vendors myself (most of which were on a list provided to me by Shellie), I didn't need to hire an outside coordinator. Shellie and her team did all of the coordination the day of. The day of my wedding went absolutely perfectly. The venue looked pristine, we started on time (and stuck to schedule thanks to Shellie), food was tasty, and due to the venue staff's hard work, I didn't worry about a thing and just got to enjoy my wedding like every bride should! TRUST ME (I work in the event planning industry), this is an AMAZING venue to get married at!

We had the most amazing experience at Mount Palomar! We visited 10 venues all across SoCal in 3 days and when we saw Mount Palomar, the venue was absolutely breathtaking.

When I saw those columns to walk down the aisle to it was so stunning, we immediately said yes! Then, when we saw the barrel room for an after party we were like, where do we sign?

Shellie and the entire staff were great to work with - highly communicative, effective, and kind. They literally make it so easy for you with all the vendor recs and timeline specifics. You don't have to worry much!

My husband and I got married on 8/27/21 after postponing from our May 1st date. Shellie went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. Our wedding cake didn’t hold up well in the heat and she worked so hard behind the scenes without us knowing to make sure that we had a beautiful cake to cut during the reception. A very big thank you to Nothing Bundt Cake that stayed open to save the day for us. All of the staff was incredible and took special care of us and our families and we could not be more thankful. The venue itself was so so beautiful and and we could not have imagined a more perfect day.

If you are looking for a beautiful venue with a gorgeous view, great food & wine along with professional service… look no further, Palomar is the place. We highly recommend the venue and their staff.

Our wedding at Mount Palomar Winery was better than we could have ever imagined!

When we got engaged, we knew we wanted to get married at a winery in Temecula. We hadn’t been to Mount Palomar previously, but based on the reviews and photos, we scheduled an appointment there and at one other place. From the very beginning, it was clear that Mount Palomar was the winner. After our tour, we agreed that there was no reason to look anywhere else. The ceremony and reception sites are breathtaking, and are situated away from the public area of the winery. This is very important if you don’t want the general public wandering in on your wedding day or taking pictures. Mount Palomar also hosts just one wedding per day, so you know you will receive all of their attention.

Sandy was our wedding guru and venue coordinator from the day of our tour through our wedding day, and we couldn’t have done it without her! She is very patient and always quick to answer questions and handle special requests. At first we were considering hiring an outside wedding coordinator to handle the planning throughout the months before and the day-of details, but Sandy convinced us that this added expense was not necessary. She was right! If you already have a vision and are planning on selecting and meeting with vendors yourself, Mount Palomar handles the rest. Sandy provided us with a list of trusted vendors, and we chose many of them from this list. This is certainly the way to go if you want excellent professionals familiar with the venue and the staff.

Catering is part of the package pricing at Mount Palomar and is handled by Temecula Catering. There are several options, including a buffet, plated choice or dual plated. The food tasting was set up directly by Sandy. We were a little nervous at first, because we didn’t have a choice if we didn’t like the food. However, everything at the tasting was very good and it was hard to narrow down our selections.

Throughout the months preceding the wedding, we were in regular contact with Sandy who coordinated with all our vendors, worked with us on the layout and details of the ceremony and reception, and helped us create a timeline. Sandy arranged an in-person meeting and walk through of the site, about a month before the wedding, to ensure that everything was in order. Mount Palomar also provides a separate day-of coordinator, and we worked with Kimberly. She was amazing too! Kimberly ran our rehearsal the day before our wedding and made sure that everyone was comfortable with the details of the ceremony. She even pinned on the groom’s and groomsmen’s boutonnieres as none of them knew how to do it…..she’s a lifesaver! The most important part was that on the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Our wedding day went so smoothly, with none of the glitches you often hear about. The weather in early October was beautiful, the venue was set up perfectly to our specifications, the entire day ran on schedule, and the food and wine were great. We received numerous comments from our guests that it was the best wedding they had ever attended and the most gorgeous wedding venue.

Our wedding day was an amazing experience that we will never forgot. We cannot thank Sandy, Kimberly and the staff at Mount Palomar enough for making our wedding dreams come true.

I would highly recommend Mount Palomar to anyone who wants to get married in wine country. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it is very reasonably priced. The Mount Palomar dtaff and Temecula Catering were all fantastic, and made our big day as easy and seamless as possible. We are had an absolutely fantastic experience from the moment we paid our deposit up until the end of our wedding night. Having Sandy there to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you Mount Palomar!

We just got married here in September and I couldn't imagine a more beautiful venue. Even though it was 100 degree weather that day, everything was still perfect. The ceremony takes place overlooking the most gorgeous scenery and the outdoor reception area is breathtaking in the evening. I can't believe how great all the photos came out. Everyone has been telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to and it was the best wedding food they have ever had (they use Temecula Catering and the food was delicious!!!!) I can't say enough good things about this venue and how perfect they made my wedding day.

Mount Palomar is a hidden gem in Temecula!! The venue is stunning and as the bride I fell in love with the aisle that opened up to a beautiful ceremony space overlooking the vineyards! Sandy and the team at Mount Palomar were extremely helpful and made us feel special leading all the way up to our day! We will forever cherish Mount Palomar and would highly suggest the venue to anyone looking for a spacious, beautiful, and magical setting for your wedding!

We recently had our wedding here at Mount Palomar and we loved every second of it! Sandy was amazing to work with and was always there with any help we needed! Throughout our wedding night, guests kept calling us over to tell us it was one of the most gorgeous venues they've ever been to... it truly is a dream venue!!!

My hubby and I got married at MPW last month and we couldn’t have been happier with our venue choice. Not only is the venue stunning, but the super helpful and responsive coordinators (shout out to Sandy and Kim!!) made everything flow so seamlessly. Oh and their wine is amazing!! We highly recommend this venue!!
