Amazing Venue & Catering

We loved having our wedding at El Encanto! We had both our ceremony and our reception on their South Patio, with a total of about 75 people. The whole team was amazing at communicating with us long distance while we planned everything, and they made everything very easy the day of. The food and drinks were great and we loved the romantic ambiance of the tile archway, pond, and trees. I cannot recommend them enough! It was everything we hoped for and more.

We always loved this place for the food, before there ever was a wedding. THAT'S when you know it will be good. We had our wedding reception here and loved it. The patio was so intimate, and the food was amazing. So HAPPY!

El Encanto Dos is the restaurant where my husband and I had our rehearsal dinner. They were very accommodating to our large party (20+) and the drinks and food arrived promptly!
