Lorimar Winery

The Lorimar team was amazing for our wedding! They did absolutely everything I needed. We had to love everything inside the day before and they made the transition so easy. They were amazing the day of! Ashley and Katie made all my wedding day nerves disappear. It was amazing!

Lorimar was the first on our list for our wedding venue excursion day in Temecula. I put it first for a reason and I had five other places. Truthfully, I knew in my heart that Lorimar was the one and I knew for a fact my now spouse will also fall in love with it. I based that love off of photos and reviews on like.
We left Lorimar feeling in love. We talked to Katie first for potential dates and the options and she was amazing and upfront about everything. Just even talking to her- I had a great feeling.
We looked at two more and cancelled the rest of the showing. The other two, which I won’t say what vineyards, we’re very dismissive about the fact that we are a same sex couple and the tour consisted of odd looks and the manager saying “for you and your husband”. We didn’t feel great. We did go back to Lorimar and ate lunch there.
We told Katie that Lorimar is the one and she will get back to us. Lorimar is so nice- the view, the whole winery not being too big but still very busy and lively, and it felt intimate. Katie called us back and gave us surprising news that the date we wanted was cancelled by another couple and so we even got the date we wanted. Everything was just literally falling into place.
Our wedding was only six months away and so we really had to get our hustle one. We did our own flowers, got cake delivered, did our own signings, hired a DJ, photographer and videographer, and what not. Ashley was the next person we worked with and she was a great blessing helping us coordinate everything- I couldn’t pick a better person to help us out! (Thanks Ashley!) The food tasting went perfectly and during the wedding reception, everyone LOVED the food and the statements I kept on getting was “Wow! The food here is actually really delicious.” So that says something. We did get an alcohol package and we added more as my side of the family was getting really lit. We ended up picking in the barrel room area for both wedding and wedding bc it was away from the main building and we had the place to ourselves and our beloved family and friends.
We both had our own dressing rooms. We had a sunset wedding. The barn and the lights at night really made the most beautiful scenery- it was a page from a fairy tale. The views of the orange trees, wineries, the sunset sky- you just have to be there to witness the magic Lorimar makes. Writing this, I can’t stop smiling! When we have our 20th anniversary, I’d host it here again (not sure if that’s allowed haha). Thanks Katie for getting us the date, and thanks Ashley for literally everything and making our wedding the most perfect wedding ever.

My then fiance and I booked Lorimar in April 2019 for our wedding which was supposed to be in April 2020 but covid-19 happened so we had to postpone our wedding multiple times but finally decided to go with April, 2021 as our final choice. Lorimar was with us from the very beginning helping us plan our wedding. Their coordinators were very professional, easy to contact and they reply within a reasonable time frame. We had a lot of special requests for our wedding and had to customize it to our liking and budget and Lorimar was very accommodating. I would like to especially thank Ashley for everything she has done for me and for helping me plan my wedding through covid. At the start of covid there were a lot of uneasiness and uncertainty whether we would even be able to go through with our April 2020 wedding but Ashley eased my mind. Lorimar was very accommodating with the changing times and we never lost even a penny of what we paid for when we hired this venue. We feel so blessed and also thankful for Lorimar for that. And can we talk about the venue and location itself??? It’s not on the main road; it’s tucked towards the back end of wine country giving your guests good views of the vineyards and winery on the long stretch of Rancho California road as they drive towards your venue and it’s right next to these beautiful orange orchards which are great photo ops for you and your wedding guests. The food that was served during our wedding were all delicious and all our guests were raving about them. Last but not the least, the wines are delicious! You can never go wrong picking any of their wines to serve to your guests. The moscato was a hit and I even purchased more to take home the day after my wedding day. All our wedding guests raved how beautiful our wedding and location was and how they’ve never been to a wedding like ours. Overall, we had a great experience choosing Lorimar for our wedding venue and we have some great pictures and videos to show our children and grandchildren someday.
