The HomeStead in Oak Glen

When my wife and I first visited The Homestead we fell in love immediately. Paula and her team could not have been more accommodating upon our first visit and when we learned that it was all inclusive for the caterer, dj, bartender, florist, and baker we jumped at the chance to get married there. It was well worth it. We had no idea of the trials and tribulations 2020 had for us and Paula and her team kept us in the loop throughout the year as to what was needed for us to be able to even hold the ceremony in a COVid-19 world. It went off better than expected! Once you arrive at the venue for your wedding you can leave any worries you have at the door. From Emilio the DJ to Chef Henry the caterer we were treated like the day belonged to us. Paula and her worker bees were helpful and patient in getting everything we needed not that we needed much since they thought of everything. There is a private Groom's cabin and a private Bridal cottage that had all the amenities you could need to get ready for your day of days. Located in the picturesque foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains amongst the apple orchards in Oak Glen it was a beautiful day for me and my bride. Also with the ceremony, cocktail, and reception areas all steps away from each other our guests complimented us on not only how convenient and well laid out the venue was but how efficient and seamless everything was as the evening progressed. I could go on about how wonderful it is but you should reach out to Paula and her team and find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

If you’re looking for a venue that has a beautiful rustic vintage feel, allows you to not be overly stressed as a new bride, and supplies the best bunch of people to support you on one of the biggest days of your life, this is it. I cannot say enough about the things that The Homestead at Oak Glen provides. Let’s start with the views. If you haven’t been to Oak Glen, just take a ride up there and see for your self. It’s already a cute little town with some of the most beautiful views that you’ll ever see in Southern California but then you find this little venue kind of hidden away that just surprises you with not just a wedding venue, but also some historical stuff, and the most creative/unique general decor you’ll ever see.
Now my personal favorite: all inclusive. Never in my life did I sit there and think of what my wedding would be like nor did I want to have to do that. I know it’s weird but planning and being organized and overly stressed is not my thing. So, I scheduled an appointment to meet with Paula and that day decided this is where we were getting married. Yep, went to one venue and met one of the sweetest women I have ever met, saw some of the most adorable features in a wedding venue, and was told that I don’t have to make any decisions as far as decoration or center pieces, and booked my wedding. The barbecue food was amazing, the pies that we had in place of cake are still talked about by friends and family, the s’more‘s fire pit bar area was a perfect touch for a chilly night, and the dance floor was some thing I will never forget. My husband and I honestly talk about just wanting to go hang out there we love it that much! If you’re looking for an all inclusive venue that will make this an easy day, supply everything you need from decorations to who your DJ is, this is it. And you’ll gain new friends while you’re at it with Paula, Don, Lexi, and everyone else at The Homestead.
