I fell in love with the venue when we saw it and on our wedding day it was everything I dreamed of in my wedding. Everyone was super super helpful Paula was amazing! Even though I was emailing and texting her with lots of questions. Their staff on the wedding day was amazing super attentive and helpful, our house mom we had was great and I didn’t catch the name of the lady helping me with my dress during our pictures and throughout the night. Hoping that for our 25 year or 50 year anniversary we will do it there. If I could give 10 stars I would. All our guest loved it also.

WOW. I sincerely can’t believe how much we lucked out finding the Homestead. This venue is a true stand-out in service, quality, and communication. If you want a stress-free, enjoyable, and memorable wedding experience, these are the people to go with! The whole Homestead team was so welcoming towards us from day one, even before we had officially booked. My fiancee and I had scoured online for wedding venues, but many of them were indistinguishable from each other. After seeing the Homestead’s pictures, I knew that this place would have the unique and vintage flair we were looking for. As soon as we finished our in-person tour with Lexi, we immediately got in the car and booked. There were SO many highlights of our planning experience (and actual wedding!), but I’ll put our favorites below:

The venue is in Oak Glen and gives the experience of being in the mountains without the drive all the way up! We got married in the summer and were so thankful for the altitude making the day a cooler temperature. The venue is STUNNING and has so many fun antiques and vintage decor that are perfect for photos. The “getting ready” spaces for the bride and groom are a great size and make for really fun photo opportunities as well. It was the perfect place for all of us to hang out beforehand. The ceremony space and reception space being next to each other was super convenient for guests. There are so many fun areas to explore, like the bar, fireplace, and back photo booth area (all filled with gorgeous foliage!). It feels like getting lost in a storybook!

They have multiple food options. We went with Tacos and Beer as our food vendor and it was some of the BEST Mexican food I’ve had. Everyone raved about it afterwards! They also offered vegetarian and vegan options for our guests with dietary needs. The Homestead also offers pie AND cake, which our guests loved for the variety! The pie was seriously the best that we’ve had, and we want to go visit the bakery again to take a full one home!

As far as decorations go, the Homestead offers adorable table decor, plateware, napkins, tablecloths, and more to choose from. They also have their own florist, who created beautiful bouquets for our special day. I loved being able to choose from their stock while still having the freedom to bring our own signs and photos (but really, they include nearly everything you need for the big day as part of their package). It made planning stress-free, which was very important to us in the whole process.

Lastly, the staff was INCREDIBLE. Lexi, Paula, April, and Monica have truly created something special here. They got back to us quickly with questions and were very helpful in reminding us of deadlines throughout the process. The team keeps you on track with all of the kindness and care that you would want for such a memorable day. They are total experts and have weddings down to a perfect science.

I truly believe this is THE PLACE to book. My wedding day could not have been more perfect, and I would rave about The Homestead for pages if I could. Thank you to everyone at The Homestead for what you do!

We had a lovely experience with the Homestead leading up to our wedding, and a BEYOND-PERFECT experience with them on the actual day of our wedding. We felt so cared for -- Paula and her fabulous staff are so competent, calm, and incredibly experienced. Just trust them to do what they do best! They offer great advice and really have it down to a science -- but they also are incredibly collaborative and creative, so you can work together to create an utterly unique wedding, if that's what you want. We also loved having access to their store of antique wedding decorations, which helped us create a perfect vintage boho aesthetic for our wedding. We had so many wedding guests come up to us on the day (and after) and tell us "This venue is phenomenal", to which we just had to reply, "We KNOW!" It's the personal touch from Paula that really elevated the place and made us feel special -- she had a great sense of humor and somehow managed to be both flexible AND impeccably organized. I would recommend The Homestead without reservation, because from its truly stunning environment (especially at magic hour!) to its delightfully charming decor to its kind and competent staff, you really can't do any better. We loved it and are SO glad we chose The Homestead for our big day!
