Secluded Garden Estate

About

One of the most affordable Venues near Temecula.

Site Rental fee for 2024 and 2025 is $4900.00 for a Saturday Wedding and $4400.00 for Fridays, Sundays and other weekdays.

Secluded Garden Estate is just a few miles south of Temecula Valley Wine Country. We are located between the Pechanga and Pala Casinos, and only a few miles from Old Town Temecula.

You have access from 10am-11:30pm that’s 13.5 hours to get your tables and chairs setup, decorate, get dressed and walk down the aisle! Oh, and time to party and celebrate your marriage with your family & friends!

Our property spans 28 acres, and has multiple levels, with varied scenic environments.
The actual wedding reception site is rather secluded...thus the name Secluded Garden Estate. The site has a fantastic 180 degree view which is unobstructed and there are no neighbors, & no houses in sight. It is a very private area.


We have 2 ceremony sites, one is an Old Rustic Structure that had been a greenhouse, the other is on the Lawn by the Pool. Both sites have great views and charm. Use one for ceremony and the other for a pre-reception Cocktail Social Hour.

At Reception there is a 6,000 sq foot lawn which is very level. There are 3 patios...one is approx. 550 sq feet and is ideal as a dance floor, one is approx 300 sq feet and is ideal for the Bride and Groom to be featured at a sweet heart table, with the view behind them & a beautiful set of rustic provides a decorative backdrop to this area.The third patio, is for bar set-up. There is an arbor structure that runs the perimeter of the site with climbing roses which creates a room effect. Old fashioned park lights and festive string light give a romantic glow to the area in the evening

We only schedule one wedding per day. You are welcome to schedule site visits with your vendors anytime before your wedding date.

Customize your wedding by using your own personal touches to each site; Ceremony, Cocktail hour and Reception. You are free to source your own caterer, florist, DJ, photographer, etc.

Realize a beautiful outdoor wedding, complete with incredible views at an affordable price!!!!

Secluded Garden Estate - Amazing

Best venue that we found out of 4 other venues that was at a reasonable price. Most venues charge you outrageous prices and market as all inclusive, but in reality, are not. The venue is all inclusive for ceremony, cocktail, and reception. As a DIY venue, it was awesome planning our wedding exactly how we wanted, and the venue was flexible in allowing us to make it special. Emily is very nice as well and looks forward to working with you and answering any and all questions. Thank you Secluded for hosting our wedding!

Best Wedding Ever

The most beautiful place to get married! If I had to do it all over again, I would choose this venue 1000 times. Our photos are gorgeous and the staff and everyone involved made this day PERFECT!

I would choose this venue over and over

SGE. In its name it describes the property. You are nestled away in the hills of Pala. Everything was green and vibrant. The staff were amazing and could not have done this day without there TLC. Josh was our coordinator and he was hands down the real deal. He met with me, made sure I had everything I needed to complete our wedding, and made me feel like I was the only Bride in the world. In reality there were 3 weddings that same weekend. We give you so much respect and feel honored for sharing your home with us. The whole experience sums us up and we all had the best time of our lives. Thank you !

Dream Wedding!

The Secluded Garden Estate was an absolute DREAM for us. We wanted a gorgeous "enchanting" wedding, but were also on a budget. We weren't sure if we would be able to find a venue in San Diego that let outside vendors come in, and that's when we stumbled across the Secluded Garden Estate. It FAR exceeded all of our expectations. It is a STUNNING venue, with about 6 different locations to take pictures. Our guests commented that it was one of the most beautiful venues they've ever seen. The owners are very flexible, and sat down with us beforehand to show us good ideas of other couples that have gotten married there! Our bridal party got incredible pictures in the "getting ready suite" and the groomsmen had an awesome time in their area. We couldn't have dreamed for a better location! I would highly highly highly recommend this place if you want a stunning wedding!!

This is an absolutely breathtaking venue that was perfect for my outside wedding. We were able to have a late afternoon wedding followed by a summers-eve reception under white sparkling lights and billowing trees. It was everything I could imagine and more. The venue owner was kind and professional and helped us plan vendors (she has a list). Throughout the wedding she had grounds man help as well.This venue is basically a private home with acreage that has been transformed into a wedding venue which includes some of the most amazing photo-ops. This venue was an amazing value and price for our budget wedding. I always recommend it to others when I hear they are having a wedding. It could also be a great venue for a party of any sorts.

There is no venue that would have been better suited for our special day! Upon visiting Secluded Garden Estate and meeting with the owner Emily, my husband (obviously fiance at the time) and I immediately fell in love. Emily is so welcoming and easy to talk to, and she was the first vendor to make us feel confident that we could have our dream wedding while still maintaining our $10k budget. The grounds of this venue are absolutely gorgeous and the locations for ceremony/cocktail hour/reception are all unique with breathtaking views. Each location has such incredible natural beauty, which eliminates the need for extravagant floral pieces. The open greenhouse structure with the windows is one of a kind, and I adored all of the flowers surrounding the reception area. Emily had a ton of great suggestions for vendors, and she was very flexible in letting us stop by a few times in the months leading up to the wedding so that we could plan layouts, etc. All of the guests raved about the location, and I heard "How on earth did you find this place?" numerous times. Hosting our wedding at Secluded Garden Estate was a dream come true. We look forward to visiting Emily and Dennis in the future just to say hello!

We just had our wedding here and our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful and special Secluded Garden Estate was. Emily, the owner, was wonderful and accommodating and so helpful in the planning, and I couldn't have dreamed a better, more magical outdoor space. Between the old greenhouse and the poolside and the lawn overlooking the valley with the twinkling market lights above your head, it is an amazing deal to have your wedding here as the location fee is negligible compared to locations that charge $5K-20K just to be there (not including food & liquor). Highly recommended to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor venue that's classier and more unique than the nearby vineyards in Temecula, which are a bit like wedding factories and churn out 2x weddings a day. Because it is independent, you will have to rent equipment (tables, chairs, linens) from an outside vendor, but they are rather cheap and very easy to work with. Love this place and its owners, and would go back to visit in a heartbeat!

The Secluded Garden was absolutely beautiful and a wonderfully unique place to have our wedding. We were very happy with the service and the owners of the venue's assistance throughout the whole planning process and the day of. There are 3 different levels to work with on this property and after having our wedding there here are my suggestions. I would hold cocktail hour on the reception floor level instead of the ceremony level and make sure your whole wedding party walks with you to take photos and are prepared for the walk. Otherwise the management of the vendors and the escorting of our guests around the venue was excellent and the views are amazing which makes for great phots. Loved this place!!!

Our wedding was the most wonderful day of our lives, a large part
because we had the perfect venue. Emily was incredibly kind and
helpful throughout the whole process. We were allowed to bring in all
our own vendors. Emily helped us fill in the blanks for what we didn't
know and gave us great recommendations. It never felt like a
transaction, more like a friend helping us put together the wedding of
our dreams.

With such a gorgeous natural setting we could make the wedding
beautiful with very minimal decoration. There was a beautiful patio in the reception area that made the perfect dance floor. And there are so many different extraordinary spots for beautiful photos! From start to finish, our experience with Emily and the Secluded Garden Estate was nothing but easy and pleasant. Our family and friends had a fantastic time and we feel so lucky that we could be married here.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
