Dreams Come True!

Dream Come True at WedgeWood Weddings!**

When I first stumbled upon WedgeWood Weddings online, I thought it might be too good to be true—almost like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered! After my initial Zoom call with Joanne, I was convinced I had found something special. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she radiated positivity without any sales pressure—just genuine support and information. Joanne is exactly the kind of person every bride hopes to work with!

And let me tell you about Tamica—she is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Her patience, kindness, and insight made planning a breeze. She was always prompt for our meetings and answered my endless questions with grace. Working with her felt like collaborating with a friend who truly cares.

Now, let’s talk about David—WOW! He was a lifesaver on the big day. He anticipated my needs before I even had to ask, jumping in to help whenever my bridesmaids called out. His attention to detail was impeccable, making everything flow seamlessly.

Here are a few highlights that made our experience unforgettable:

- **All-Inclusive Bliss:** The all-inclusive package took so much stress off my shoulders! No hunting for a florist, bakery, DJ, or photographer—everything was conveniently provided.

- **Wedding Fair Magic:** The Wedding Fair was a fantastic experience! I loved being able to explore the venue, taste the delectable food and cake, see the bar in action, and even meet the chef.

- **Food That Wow-ed!** Let’s talk about the food—absolute bomb.com! The chef left no flavor behind, and I was flooded with compliments from guests after the wedding. Good food is crucial, and I would have been heartbroken if it had fallen flat. Thank you, chef! I even had someone ask for his contact info!

WedgeWood Weddings made my wedding planning experience a joy. If you're searching for the perfect venue, look no further

Thank you, Rio Hondo!

Rio Hondo absolutely exceeded my expectations and made our wedding day incredible. We are especially grateful for David, who was with us from our first planning meeting until the day of our wedding -- we truly could not have had a more amazing day-of coordinator. On our wedding day, David took care of all of our signage and decor and made sure it was set up exactly as we wanted, coordinated with all of the Rio Hondo vendors to ensure everything we'd asked for was going according to plan, and consistently checked in with us to make sure we were eating, drinking, and enjoying the day. We also heard from our parents that he regularly made sure that they were doing OK and to see if they needed anything, which we know meant a lot to them. David put the kind of care and attention into our wedding that we would have expected from a close friend or family member -- that is how genuinely invested we felt he was from beginning to end.

All of Rio Hondo's vendors were amazing, as well! We worked with LMP photography, which was one of Rio Hondo's recommended vendors, Little Blue Hummingbird for florals, and DJ Scott. It made a real difference to work with vendors who knew the venue well, and made everything from communication to day-of coordination so much easier. The all-inclusive nature of the Rio Hondo packages was a big plus for us, and we were really thrilled to have it work out the way we had hoped. Annie with Little Blue Hummingbird deserves a special shoutout for making our vision for florals really come to life, and DJ Scott really went above and beyond to include all of the different kinds of music we requested while still creating a great atmosphere. Some of our guests even commented that they thought DJ Scott was a friend of ours given how kind and enthusiastic he was throughout the night. DJ Scott, David, and our LMP photographers all checked in with us throughout the night to make sure things were going on track and to make suggestions to the timeline as the day evolved.

We also heard from a TON of guests about how great the food and drinks were, which really surpassed our expectations. We got particularly rave reviews about the appetizers, prime rib carving station (we booked the elite package, so that was included), and signature drinks -- it was so fun to be able to include that. Coming from someone who did a lot of research before choosing a venue -- after considering the quality of food and drinks, the value of all of the details that are included in the package, the beauty of the space, and the benefits of having high-quality vendors, coordinators, etc. who all work together, I have no doubt that Rio Hondo's offerings are a much better value than many of the other venues you can find in Los Angeles. We are incredibly grateful to the whole Rio Hondo team for making our day so special, and would absolutely recommend it to others.

Spectacular!

We got married on NYE’s Eve and if I could get married again at Rio Hondo I would! From start to finish our experience was truly amazing. Our initial meetings with Fabiola were very informative and she was always so knowledgeable and always answered our questions promptly! We also really appreciate the flexibility with the Rio Hondo team as we are from out of town and planning a wedding long distance can be stressful. Rest assured the Rio Hondo team handled everything extremely professionally and with so much care! Huge shoutout to our wedding coordinators David and Tamica, they were spectacular and we felt taken care of from the rehearsal to the wedding day. David and Tamica went above and beyond and we felt we could trust them with anything! We will forever cherish their kindness and professionalism! We also wanted to give a huge shout out to the chef CJ, who cooked amazing food all day! Our guests could not stop talking about the food! In addition, both Natalia and Nestor, our banquet captains, were amazing all night and very attentive to any of our needs. We honestly had an amazing experience and would do it all over again at Rio Hondo!
