Best venue and coordinators ever

My husband and I just got married here on July 13, 2024 and have absolutely no regrets. It was the wedding of our dreams and most of that comes down to the our wedding coordinator, venue, and staff.

First, Katlin Holland at Everly & Co. was amazing to work with. Not only is she a joy to be around, but she handles everything with such grace and ease. She always makes you feel calm and made everything go seamlessly! I threw so many things at Katlin last minute, and she never complained or told me that something wasn't possible. On the day of, everything went without a hitch and we could not be more thankful for everything Katlin did for us. If you are looking for a wedding planner in the Temecula area, she is your girl.

Next, Claudia Perez at South Coast was one of the reasons we chose the venue in the first place. She gave us a tour within an hour's notice, and answered every single question and then some. She is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable. Her communication was always quick and she was able to work with us on everything. On the day of, she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. We had so so many compliments on our wedding and the food is INCREDIBLE. Also, should out to Alex at South Coast for being amazing!!

We could not recommend this venue and these people enough!! Thank you for such an amazing weekend and wedding experience!!

Gorgeous Venue!

We got married at South Coast Winery on 11/02/24 and it was GORGEOUS! We had our ceremony at the Rose Arbor and our reception in the Courtyard. It was beautiful in every way, and we could not be happier. We had fallen in love with the Rose Arbor area during a Valentines Day getaway at the hotel and were beyond psyched to get married there!

Our main coordinator was Leann Casey, and we ADORE her! From the moment we met, we knew that we were in the best hands and that she would make sure our wedding was perfect from start to finish. She was there with us every step of the way, even after an exciting promotion meant that she wasn't as involved with weddings any longer! We are so lucky that we got the chance to meet her when we did and grateful that she stayed with us through the wedding!

Overall, all of the South Coast staff are incredibly accommodating, friendly and wonderful to have around on your special day. If you want to get hitched somewhere that is stunningly gorgeous and that will make you feel so special, look no further!

Best decision ever!

We had the most amazing wedding at South Coast Winery! After visiting over ten venues across Southern California, we ultimately chose South Coast Winery, which shows just how selective we were. We wanted a stunning venue that was dog-friendly, offered outdoor ceremony and reception spaces, had on-site accommodations, and featured plenty of greenery. South Coast Winery checked all these boxes and was the clear winner for us.

Four months before the wedding, we had the chance to do a tasting and select the menu and wines for our guests, and we truly felt like VIPs. The food was incredible! It was a huge plus that there’s a restaurant on-site, which meant no need for a ghost kitchen or pre-cooked catering. Compared to other venues, South Coast Winery also has a reasonable food and beverage minimum (including rentals), and they even provide two suites for two nights as part of the wedding package. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch. Our South Coast coordinator, Alejandra, was fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. She even whisked us around in a golf cart, which saved us so much time during cocktail hour and sunset photos!

The venue itself is breathtaking at any time of day—whether it’s during the day, at golden hour, or at night with the string lights. The way the sun filters through to the courtyard is just perfect. The food tasted just as amazing as it did during the tasting, and many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Our buffet featured chicken, salmon, steak, and a prime rib upgrade. And then there were the drinks! We had an open bar, and the bartenders were fantastic. Our signature drink was a blueberry margarita, and one friend joked, “The signature drink had no business being that strong!” Let’s just say everyone had a blast—maybe a little too much!

Overall, I can’t recommend South Coast Winery enough. The venue is stunning, the staff is exceptional, the value is unbeatable, and the food is delicious. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

10 stars for South Coast Winery!

I got married in May 2024 at South Coast Winery in Temecula CA. I couldn't be more happy with how the day turned out! I chose this venue due to the European feel and beautiful greenery throughout, and the venue delivered my vision and more! The best part of the venue is everything is onsite- ceremony, reception, hotel for guest, overall spacious creating an experience for the guest. SCW includes a shuttle for the guest on the wedding day and that was extremely helpful.

My Catering Sales Manager was Samantha Cordera-DeCaro who was my POC throughout the panning process. I cannot say enough good things about working with Samantha- Great communication, suggestions, organization, and very pleasant to work with. Seriously amazing at what she does and had my complete trust in her!

The chef and catering team were also extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions. My husband can't eat any dairy or eggs and they were very considerate and even made dairy/egg free bread!

Recommended Vendors:

Day of Coordination: Celebrations by Hayley (Request Victoria Knight)
- Victoria is well experienced making my day stress free. Even left a lasting impression with my bridal party with how on top of it she was!

Florist: Lovely Peonies! Lauren owns the company and so wonderful to work with and amazing at what she does. Truly brings your vision to life

MUA/Hair: Domenica Beauty- Domenica, Nancy, and Christine were the day of team. If you're looking for soft glam with high end products, this is your glam squad!

Above the Top rentals- Custom dance floor and gold flatware

Highly recommend having your wedding at South Coast and requesting Samantha :)

Dream Summer Wedding Reception!

When it came to picking a venue for our local wedding reception, South Coast Winery was the perfect match for us as this is where we first met! They had multiple locations to choose from both for ceremony and reception. We loved the open space of the Bell Tower area and how there were so many different layouts you could design for your seating chart. One of the best things about South Coast was their wedding packages and how the tables, chairs, linens, food, bar, catering staff, and hotel stay were all part of the package. It really made the whole planning process easier for us to only worry about bringing in our additional vendors for specific details. The communication between Andrew, Dara, and their team was on-point throughout the planning process and with our wedding coordinator up to and especially on the day of our wedding reception. We appreciated their input, advice, and working with us to accommodate special requests we wanted to incorporate (THANK YOU!). Everything worked out seamlessly and we could not be more pleased, we are still getting compliments from our guests about how beautiful it was!

An absolute dream come true venue!

This review has been a long time coming. We were married at South Coast on 06/25/22 and there is not enough room on this review for me to truly convey how absolutely incredible this venue was to us. We had a rather large wedding with many moving parts and our venue coordinator, Claudia, made it all look easy. From our very first meeting, we knew that South Coast was our venue. We wanted to bring in a ton of vendors and had a lot of ideas, none of which made Claudia even think twice. She was so receptive, responsive and overall so good to us. Our wedding was an absolute dream and there was not one single thing that I would have changed. 6 months later and our guest still comment on what an amazing time they had at our wedding, mostly because of the venue and staff. I really could go on forever but if you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, flexible and an absolute dream from start to finish, this is it. CLAUDIA WE LOVE YOU!

The BEST venue for a simple Indian Wedding

Claudia and her team were so amazing to work with. We started planning in the midst of the pandemic, and despite all the complications from that, the venue was so accommodating to us and what we needed.

Our wedding was the first large Indian wedding the venue had done, and they did a phenomenal job. Everything went so perfectly and the venue is so beautiful on its own that we didn't have to try hard at all to make our photos come out the way we wanted.

The best experience

You would not regret South Coast for your wedding!! We were originally at a different winery in Temecula (booked pre COVID for June 2021) and due to that venue cancelling on us, we had to find a new venue and South Coast was 10x better than our original venue! Andrew and Claudia are absolutely amazing and both so passionate about what they are doing. Claudia is so incredibly patient and so wonderful at everything she does! She answered every single one of my emails extremely fast and every "hiccup" that came up along the way in planning, her and her team were quick to correct it and make sure everything we had planned for went off perfectly. She was even able to deal with one of my hard-to-deal-with family members with so much patience. Everything was coordinated as well as it could have and the whole event went as smooth as possible. and THE FOOD. OMG we still have guests telling us that it was the best food theyve ever had at a wedding. We also had a lot of family stay the whole weekend and we all loved staying at the resort and not having to leave for the whole weekend! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND and wish we could do it all over again!

**also, i never looked at south coast the first time around venue hunting due to the $$$ (higher than most venues I was looking at) and had seen that the $$ went as high as $50,000, so didnt want to look and fall in love with something that much. But we found that once we looked at it, the price was right on par and even less than the other wineries we were looking at
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
