Lorimar Winery

There are so many wineries in Temecula, and we are so happy we stumbled on the Lorimar.

Everything was amazing. From the picturesque vineyards to the staff, to the food. We really did have our dream wedding. It’s a gorgeous venue! We had our ceremony and reception on the Barrel Room Lawn and it was wonderful.

Katie helped us in the beginning and Ashley was our day-of coordinator that helped us with every little detail in the planning stages. She was quick to answer every question and made us feel at ease.:)

Ideally you want your wedding to be memorable to all your guests and for everyone to have fun. We were lucky to check all the boxes! 100% recommend!

This venue was SUCH a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend! Gorgeous summer night setting, but moreover absolutely dreamy working with Katie! We LOVED her; she was such a professional, and so generous with us. If you are looking at winery venues, make sure Lorimar is on your list!

TLDR: I would love to complain considering the amount of money that we paid, but the team at Lorimar absolutely delivered on every front. 5 stars well deserved. Katie, Ashley, and (Mayghan?) will take care of you on the big day.

Summary: We booked our wedding (for the last Sunday in May2022) back in October when the vineyards were relatively bare, and there was alot of faith that we had to put in the venue to come through presentation-wise. Fast forward to the wedding date and omg, absolute show stopper the venue turned out to be. The most beautiful vineyards, archways were full of leaves, grass was well kept, amazing backdrops, weather was amazing (I think high of 75 and at night maybe around 60’s?).

I think what stood out the most was the consistency, professionalism, and communication between the team. It was absolutely seamless and stress free whether we were talking about the sales managers statements vs the wedding planner’s expectations. I was super scared that we would be promised the world by the sales manager, and then caught up by the fine print somewhere, but the entire team delivered on their promises. Specifically: types of chairs / tables to be used, amount of heaters available during the reception, availability of the bridal/ groom suites.

We dealt with Katie for the initial tour of the venue, I believe we signed the contract with her as well. Katie then passed us off to Ashley, who helped us with wedding planning and the first half of the actual wedding day. Then halfway through the wedding, (Maghan/Meagan/Meg, I butchered her name but she was an absolute Angel) helped with the second half of the wedding. During each transition, each representative was more friendly than the last and expectations were well communicated.

Day of the wedding, Ashley and Meg were checking in with us frequently to help be proactive with whatever they could. Top tier customer service. SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT to them because I guess my bride was expecting some family member(who was lagging) to “bustle” her dress after the ceremony and the Lorimar girls worked quickly to make sure her dress was bustled and that the show continued.

Everything went absolutely smoothly at Lorimar. The team was amazing, I heard tons of compliments from our guests about the beauty of the venue and friendliness of the staff. The whole team was professional, answered emails quickly, and they didn’t screw me with some kind of fine print on the contract after it was signed. This type of customer service comes from years of experience and Lorimar deserves every bit of recognition for their execution on the big day.

Another Special shout-out to the long haired guy who helped us out during a wine tasting. He was so charismatic, has a ton of personality, and took care of us. Top tier customer service from him as well.
