I had my wedding at Kimberly Crest in January of this year. I absolutely fell in love with Kimberly Crest the moment I stepped foot on the grounds. The wedding coordinator, Tonja, was such a pleasure to work with and made my day so easy and no stress at all!
The wedding venue is so beautiful you barely need to decorate which is so great for a low budget Bride. The gardens and house speak for themselves and make your ceremony and reception such a classy event.
My guests still talk about what a beautiful wedding we had and I've heard a few say they would like to get married there as well!
Do yourself a favor and book your wedding here!

Our wedding at Kimberly Crest was a dream come true! The property itself is like an enchanted garden filled with beautiful flowers, tall trees and furry squirrels running around. I felt like a Snow White! :)

Amanda is the best! Anytime I would be stressed out or needed advice she was there to reassure me everything was going to be okay and it was! The entire wedding party and guests were so impressed, they couldn’t believe how beautiful the grounds were (are). To all you brides out there, do yourself a favor and pick this venue for your special day! Its unique and beyond gorgeous - You won't be disappointed!

I absolutely love Kimberly Crest! Absolutely gorgeous venue that I fell in love with immediately. We had another location already booked but we cancelled as soon as we visited Kimberly Crest! Aside from the location, Amanda, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing. I would not have survived the big day without her. From coordinating the rental deliveries, to grabbing me cold waters (and holding the bottle to the back of my neck between photos to help me cool down!) to having great suggestions for photo locations and poses, she was fabulous. I'm so happy with our big day and wouldn't change a thing!

My daughters wedding was so beautiful at this venue. I have heard nothing but compliments from everyone. Amanda is amazing easy to work with and very professional. Anthing you need that is within the guidelines of the property she did with a smile on her face. I am so glad we choose not to listen to the negative reviews that have been posted and went with our gut. We only had the ceremony here and not a reception but we loved everything about it.. Highly recommend a perfect day....

We had our 9/2/2012 wedding at the Carriage House and it was perfect. Yes, there is limited parking but they also provide a parking attendant for free. It is one of the only venues we could find that would let us bring our own food vendors in, and that was very helpful because we wanted vegan catering. Amanda, the new venue coordinator is INCREDIBLE. She came in in the middle of our planning process, taking over for the old coordinator, and picked it up smoothly. She and the venue were completely flexible and accommodating when we wanted to do some things differently than they usually do at the venue (ceremony and dinner outside, dancing inside). She is calm, friendly, and organized, keeping everything together in her file, and really goes above and beyond the duties of a coordinator who isn't paid outside of the venue rental fee. She helped meet and greet all our vendors, facilitated the rehearsal, helped with set up and cleanup, and really ensured everything went smoothly. I felt completely confident her and she exceeded my expectations. The venue itself is beautiful-- so happy we chose to have our wedding there!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous! One thing is that they are not very flexible with their available dates mainly because it is within a residential area (which is understandable). Also, there is a limit to the amount of guests you can have. Nevertheless, I'd never want to have my wedding/reception anywhere else! :)

The Kimberly Crest is an absolutely beautiful place to hold your wedding ceremony and if you only have your ceremony there they are very affordable. I am very glad I had my wedding there. The only thing this venue lacks is parking. If you do have your venue here you will have to hire some type of shuttle service to take your guests from the street below to the venue location because it is a long, steep walk, but the wedding site is so gorgeous it completely outweighs the hassle of this.

We had our wedding & reception at the Carriage House, owned by the Kimberly-Shirk Assoc. This is a smaller, less expensive venue than the Kimberly Crest mansion...more intimate. I found this venue at a bridal show in January...by March we were booked. The marketing coordinator was a peach - she was flexible, worked with us on time & financial issues, she recommended other vendors & helped keep everything within our budget. Our wedding & reception was very small about 60 people. The wedding ceremony took place outside in the pavilion and the reception was in the house. Our coordinator was excellent, the place was beautiful & photographed very well. Prospect park is very pretty & worked great for an outside wedding - we had a ton of compliments on the room, views & gorgeous setting. I would recommend the venue to anyone.

Kimberly Crest was the answer to my wedding dreams. The grounds are beautiful and the day of was handled wonderfully! Amanda was always checking in on me and groom to see if we needed anything and handled everything else without distracting from our day. My only suggestion to future users is to keep Amanda and KC in the loop regarding your vendors and plans. I would have saved myself alot of stress if I kept her in the loop regarding my decisions and how they would effect the grounds.

This venue is beautiful!! It has a piece of Redlands history along with a gorgeous mansion, and awesome gardens. It allows for amazing photos and a fairy-tale wedding. There are however, some down-sides...Because it is a historical site, there are TONS of rules and this can add to the stress of an already emotional day. Our 'wedding coordinator', who was simply there to make sure people followed rules, yelled (a few times) at my official wedding coordinator- I can't even recall why, but it was unfortunate. They are inconsistent with what they allow (a cut-off time for evening receptions) and don't allow as far as time frames go. I will say that we were graciously allowed to set up earlier in the day, which was nice. You have to rent bathroom facilities for your event (they are currently working on building on-site bathrooms), which add's an extra expence. It is expensive to get married here and NOTHING is included in the price (besides being able to get married here and use of a room and bathroom in the mansion to get ready). We were also charged an extra $250 because our caterers took an extra 30-45 minutes to clean up. All that to say, I understand why they have all of these rules, as there are homes adjascent to the mansion. Also, this is a piece of Redlands history, so we need to respect and honor that. I simply believe that there needs to be a more professional way to handle "mishaps," as not to stress out the bride, family or wedding coordinator further.
