We had our wedding 2 weeks ago here and everything was perfect! The service staff and everyone worked really well with us. Maria did a wonderful job with working with us. She was very professional and flexible. I highly recommend her! One thing we were disappointed with was the food. For our food tasting we got the chicken Chardonnay, it came in a bigger quantity than what we got for the wedding reception and also it had asparagus and cooked vegetables. For the reception we didn’t get asparagus and only got a small amount of mashed potatoes and the carrots and green beans were hard and seemed uncooked. Everything else was amazing, we got the view & ensueño ballroom which had the most perfect views. All in all, we definitely recommend this place.

I liked the place when we went to see it, and they treat us very well. Debbie at the office was very nice all the time and helped us on our low budget, giving us options to get exactly what we want making it easier for us.
They offer everything on a package so you can just go there and have a great time.
The wedding for 50 people was on a promotion that day (2 weeks before the wedding) and costed 3,000 dls. We brought our own music, and it was a buffet (everything delicious) it included a cake that we were able to choose from 3 different cake shops and we could try them first.
I recommend this place, but must say it was a saturday so it was full (they have a few different salons) and you could hear the other party's music and a lot of people on the ballet parking.... people everywhere!!!
I guess that is normal when is more than 2 event salons. (I could hear music from the 2 next to ours)

Debbie was a great coordinator and she followed us to the end. Thanks for That Debbie!!!

I can't say how much we loved having our wedding at Luminarias. Margo was fantastic to work with! She was accommodating, flexible, and personable. Our guests enjoyed the food, ambiance, and professional staff. Teodoro, our point of contact that day, was also amazing. He troubleshooted and always made sure that my husband and I were happy with everything.

Ask for Norma Chavez, she was very helpful and made our day go smooth without any issues. The event looked beautiful. We opted for our own linens and chairs, and when these items were brought to the reception, the crew and everyone worked well together. The staff was friendly and very attentive. I will have my venue here again if I had to do it all over. Within our family, it was the third wedding event wihtin the past 6 years.

We had our wedding ceremony at Luminarias. The scenery over looking the city was magnificent. The staff was very helpful with my coordinators. The event coordinators were pretty flexible with additional chairs that were needed. We needed an extra 25 chairs half hour before the wedding and they were able to accomodate it.

Luminarias' staff did an exceptional job organizing our wedding. There were many lose ends (which Luminarias ended up taking care of) and to top it off I show up late--no one noticed the lose ends thanks to the staff's response and professionalism.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
