My wedding was everything I wanted it to be, every little detail was perfect. We will be back to renew our vows here in 20 years!!

This venue was stunning! From day to night. Ruth Davies, managed special events for the Villa and she was unbelievable! She answered any question I had within minutes via text or e-mail. She was super helpful; on the day of the wedding before I was going to walk down the aisle, totally forgot my dress was bustled for pictures. She asked if I wanted it like that and I freaked out and said no...she quickly took the bustle down 2 minutes before I walked just in time. Whew! Thanks Ruth your the best. Rest assure, one thing you will be certain about if you book the Villa is Ruth will have your back! ;) Another perk for booking the villa...you have it from 5-12am...that's a good amount of time, compared to other venues.
Also, I highly recommended you choose Cafe Hidalgo as your caterer. The service was exceptional and the food, as our guest described was really good considering its wedding food. Keep in mind- it is buffet but also keep in mind its served buffet- making it better than traditional buffet because you choose what you want and there is someone there to place it on your plate.
Lastly, for all the brides out there, I know you are at the top of your spending dollars but hiring Dena David from Cafe Hidalgo as the day of the.event coordinator is a must. She relieved so much stress for me. The ceremony and whole event wouldn't have ran so smoothly as it did without her. She knows the dos and don't of the venue. The decor was absolutely more gorgeous than I anticipated. She even arranged the flowers on my.cake and it looked amazing! Anything my fiance need she made sure we had, she even cut.cheese to eat with crackers because my.fiance was starving. She is absolutely amazing- you.have to hire her. Well worth the money. Overall, this venue was so beautiful great place to dance and just a great ambiance and is surrounded by amazing people who love their job! :) Thanks Ruth and Dena! You two are the best!

The venue, staff and catering was excellent. My husband and I could not be happier with all the services provided. All our friends and family praised the service. We will continue to recommend Villa Del Sol and Café Hidalgo to others. Dena and Ruth are awesome! Thank you again!

Our experience was great, the food, the service, the venue, and of course all the personal attention and help we received from Dena. Can't say enough, our entire wedding experience was great. We'd recommend the Villa , Cafe Hidalgo, and Dena to anyone.

Beautiful Spanish setting in the heart of downtown Fullerton, just what we were looking for! Guests were (and still are) raving about the venue!

This was one of the best days of my life!! It was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend this place to anybody. Hidalgo catered my wedding and they were amazing! Props to deana and Ruth!!! Thank u, Kate Willis

We had our wedding at this gorgeous venue this past September. My wife was looking everywhere for the right price but with the beautiful surroundings. Once she saw The Villa Del Sol there was no other comparison! The price was perfect and the fact that you get all the wonderful greenery makes this Spanish style court yard the perfect outdoor experience. The young lady in charge of the Venus events is Ruth, she was absolutely perfect. She answered every question very quickly, not to mention giving my wife some calming help when she felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond for us. We had a problem with our favors last minute and she was happy to help which saved us so much stress and worry. We don't know what we would have done without her. She actually cares about the bride and groom, and she loves her job! She manages the events in her venue to the T. This came in very handy when our florist had the wrong date for our wedding, Ruth and our other coordinator were right on top of it. They got flowers there within the hour, and Ruth herself was cutting and making flower arrangements just so my wife would not have to worry. The greenery in this case helped us more the you could imagine. Since the florist screwed up, we didn't have all that my wife wanted there, but all the greenery and flowers at the location more then made up for that. If you want simple, this venue is perfect, if you want extravagant, this Venu is perfect! Thank you again Ruth for every thing you did for me and my bride, we will never forget it. We love you, and GO LIONS!!!

The Villa del Sol is a beautiful place for an outdoor wedding. We had to provide minimal amount of decorations because of the lush vegetation surrounding the courtyard. After sunset, the courtyard became a very warm romantic atmosphere with the overhead Al Fresco lighting. The venue provides so many beautiful photographing opportunities which our photographer took advantage of. We would highly recommend The Villa del Sol for a wedding venue. It was the perfect place for our daughter's dream wedding.

Absolutely loved this site for our reception. It's beautiful. Everyone talked about how they had never been to a wedding like ours. The priciing is great too! Definitely recommend.

My experience with the venue was simply put seamless. They have pricing for M-TH, F/Sun and Saturday. Special days like 9/11/12, or holiday weekends will be charged at the Saturday price which is the most expensive rate. I got married on a Friday. If you are doing this on a budget a Friday wedding is totally doable. As the bride you won't even know what day it is.
Dealing with Ruth was great. As I planned this wedding from my work desk having someone respond to my emails in a timely manner was super important to me. Ruth always gets back to you in a couple hours. Just a note, Ruth is not on site day to day, she is actually never on site unless you book an appointment with her. So if you want to "drop by" don't because she won't be there. And if she is, she gives the utmost attention and priority to the client she is working with. Which in my opinion is fair. She was there for the beginning of my event and helped my husband out while he got heat stroke and was throwing up in the bathroom for an hour. She'd check in on me while he was sick to make sure that we both were not freaking out. She was really great all around.
My event was catered by Cafe Hidalgo. First off, Dena is the best. Second, the food is delicious. Unlike Ruth, Dena is always there and ready to help you. I personally love a lady in charge and she is just that. She demands excellence from everyone, that means her staff, your vendors and your guests. She is very mindful of what she does to ensure that your event is nothing but amazing. As the day of coordinator, which is really a necessity, she makes everything progresses for everyone. The one thing that I loved most about her is that she makes it a priority that you eat! She did cut off one of the groomsmen, which was fine because no one wants to see the drunk stumbling guy making a scene at your wedding. Overall experience wonderful. Make sure you make arrangements to have someone take all your things home that night.

Beautiful venue! Ruth Davies was very helpful and answered all of our questions promptly.

Beautiful venue, my only reason for not giving it a 5.0 is because my guests were supposed to have complimentary parking and I was appalled to find that they were charging for parking. This was especially disappointing because I wrote on my wedding website that the parking was free...

I loved the Villa del Sol! The venue is absolutely beautiful and perfect for an outdoor wedding. Ruth is amazing to work with, she is on top of everything.

THIS WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US AND EVERYONE WAS WAS I AWE OF ARE VENUE IT WAS SO PRETTY AND WE HAD TO DO VERY LITTLE DECORATING. EVERYONE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ONE OF THE RESTURANTS SUPPLIED ARE FOOD STADIUM TAVERN (TOM) THEY WERE AWSOME ANF THE FOOD WAS GREAT. IF I HAD TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD DO IT THE SAME.

I loved Villa Del Sol. It is such a beautiful venue and looks so amazing in pictures. I love how you get the upstairs as well. I turned part of it to a smoking area and it worked out great. My only problem with them was the "free valet". When I got there they already had shut down the parking and my bridesmaid had to pretty much yell at them until they would let the brides car be valeted which I think is ridiculous. Then I see that right in front of us a guy had thrown a valet some money and his keys to the valet and went to another place when it is supposed to be parking just for the wedding. Then when my guests were leaving I heard from a few that the valet guys were asking for a fee even though I was told it was free. I know that isn't the venue because they had no idea and they have apologized but they need to hire different, more loyal valet so they don't have this problem again. Besides this, everything was amazing I loved everything about it and it is worth every penny.

We got married in June 2012 and had a great time experience with The Villa Del Sol. A lot of the guests came to us and said that the venue is beautiful. Ruth Davies has done a wonderful job assisting and managing everything from the planning until the day of the wedding.
