A Dream Wedding Experience at Craft House, Corque - October 2022

I had the incredible privilege of hosting my wedding at Craft House at Corque in October 2022, and I can't begin to express just how extraordinary this experience was. Craft House, under the guidance of the exceptional owner, Melody, truly exceeded all our expectations and made our special day absolutely magical.

From the moment we decided on Craft House as our wedding venue, Melody became more than just the owner; she became a cherished friend and confidante throughout our wedding journey. Melody's unwavering support, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire planning process not only stress-free but also a joy. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect, and her dedication was nothing short of extraordinary.

The venue itself is a hidden gem. Craft House's Solvang charm and elegant design provided a breathtaking backdrop for our wedding. Our guests were in awe of the picturesque setting, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our special day.

Now, let's talk about the food. Craft House's chef deserves all the accolades for creating a culinary masterpiece. Not only did the food look like a work of art, but it also accommodated our guests' dietary restrictions, including vegan and gluten-free options. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the deliciousness of each dish.

The bar service was equally remarkable. The skilled bartenders ensured that our guests had a wonderful time and the variety of beverages catered to all preferences.

One of the standout features of Craft House at Corque is its close proximity to Hotel Corque, sharing a charming courtyard. This arrangement made everything so convenient for our guests, who could easily transition between the ceremony, reception, and accommodations. It made the entire celebration seamless and stress-free.

Throughout our wedding day, the Craft House team displayed unparalleled professionalism and dedication. They were attentive, accommodating, and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Craft House at Corque to any couple seeking a remarkable wedding experience. Melody and her incredible team transformed our dream wedding into a reality, and I will forever be grateful for their warmth and dedication.

Thank you, Craft House at Corque, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. It was everything we had ever hoped for and more, and we are forever grateful for the memories you helped create.

October 2022 Bride

Great place to get married!!!! This was a second marriage for both my husband and I, we wanted a venue that was convenient, affordable, and beautiful. Hotel Corque was perfect! Susan Gonzales and Chyanna Sanchez were helpful throughout the entire planning process. They always responded quickly to emails and phone calls, which made me feel that we were a priority, not just another couple getting married. My husband and I liked the fact that we could have the ceremony and reception in the same area and we also stayed the night at the hotel. Hands down, I would recommend this venue to anyone with an upcoming wedding!

We were so luck to come across the Hotel Corque and their amazing team. They helped make our wedding weekend fantastic.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at the Old Mission Santa Ines and held our reception and morning brunch at the Hotel Corque. Susan Gonzales and Dorene Cisneros made the entire process very easy. Susan was our contact from day one, helping us decide on menus, drinks, linens, chairs, etc. -- and answered our weekly questions with patience and ease. She remained our primary contact throughout the planning of our wedding.

Dorene was our day of contact, provided by the hotel, and it was as if she knew exactly what we wanted and needed. She had the "bride's vision" in mind, and I knew that I had an advocate that day. Thank you!

The hotel staff gave us regular updates on room blocks, and Casey Weinberg would always return my incessant calls about our "numbers". She was even kind enough to provide us with a welcome gift basket that made our stay at the hotel feel like a vacation within our wedding.

The hotel staff helped us with all of our materials, luggage and special needs leading up to the evening reception. The servers were accommodating, even the next morning during our outdoor brunch.

I cannot forget to mention the food and menu options! Our meal was memorable, and did not deviate from the tasting -- which I've heard is rare. The chef remembered our needs (bone in pork chop) and gave us a meal unlike most wedding fare.

Our wedding was 9 months ago, and I have not truly thanked Hotel Corque -- Susan, Dorene, Casey and all the team for their help and support. If you're looking for a great location with outstanding staff -- Hotel Corque is definitely your location.

Hotel Corque was an amazing venue! Davia (our coordinator) was very accommodating and very professional. She returned emails immediately and made sure my every concern was addressed. We could not have asked for better banquet food! Everyone commented that it was the best food that they ever had at a wedding! The venue may be a little pricier than others, but you pay for the high quality of service and amazing food that you receive. The only thing you need to be aware of ahead of time is that you might want to rent your own table linens because their tablecloths do not touch the ground. We ended up buying our own linens online for alot cheaper than we could have rented them for. I would highly recommend hotel corque to anyone.

We used HC for the guest block, rehearsal dinner, wedding after party, & day-after brunch.

I'm not sure where to start with this review - there's Cailtin the most amazing sales planner EVER, the beautiful hotel, the acclaimed restaurant & catering service. Through and through the entire experience with Corque was stellar. The team has it together and when we got to the wedding weekend all the pieces had been put into place and were smooth. As a bride freaking out about everything I didn't have to worry about any aspect involved with HC. Thank god for them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
