Where to start...The Homestead is the absolute, most perfect wedding venue and I'm so glad that I booked with them. I remember going to visit for a tour and when I arrived, my heart filled with joy and I couldn't stop smiling. My husband (fiancé at the time) already knew it was the one when he saw the look on my face & I knew I was right! With everything going on (COVID and the fires in Oak Glen), Paula, Lexi & The Homestead staff were there every step of the way making sure that I was updated with the latest news and making sure I stayed calm and relaxed before the big day. They answered all of my questions immediately and always emailed me whenever a slight change had to happen. I couldn't have asked for better coordinators, especially for my wedding! The day of was PERFECT. I can't even begin to put into words to explain how perfect my wedding was because of The Homestead. Paula, is freaking amazing...you seriously can't get any better than her. I am not kidding, I love her. Lexi is the sweetest and Don is quite the handyman. All of the little worker bees were so nice and made sure that I had no worries the day of. They made sure I was happy, well fed, and not stressed. I swear to you, I was NOT stressed that entire day. I was so happy and nervous, which was a given, but never ever stressed. I heard brides are normally freaking out because things weren't going the way they wanted...but not me, everything went according to planned and even better. Even if it didn't, I wouldn't have probably cared because that's how amazingly happy I was with Paula and The Homestead. Seriously, thank you thank you thank you! I'm extremely grateful for them and for meeting them. They seriously made the best day, THE BEST DAY. And the venue itself, beautiful and breathtaking. It literally gave off rustic vibes, which is what I aimed for. Friends and family still keep talking about how our wedding was the wedding of the year and the best venue they've ever been to. I hope any of my friends get married here because I would love to come visit and see the venue as a guest. If not, I'll just visit during my anniversary so it's a win-win situation regardless. :)

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.

Just do it.
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.
