Flexible/accomodating

Our wedding was suppose to happen during snovid weekend and Nikki was constantly checking in to make sure we were still going through with our wedding. I’m sure things were just as hectic for her off the clock, but she remained in contact as often as possible. It wasn’t until two days before our original wedding date 2/20/21 that Nikki had to inform us that the resort did not have water and would not be able to host. She was very sympathetic to how I was feeling and worked with my coordinator Nikki Olivares (myforeverbyNikki) to make sure we had the earliest date possible. The team was La Cantera Resort were very accommodating to our situation.
The day of the wedding: Nikki, the chef, and everyone on the team at La Cantera Resort were very accommodating especially since we were asking for foods, dessert, drinks, and traditions that they weren’t very familiar with. Nikki and her team made sure things ran as smoothly as possible and they went above and beyond to do what we asked and much more! The customer service was impeccable. Being a Vietnamese couple, food was the most important factor in our reception. No-one could tell that it was the first time La Cantera hosted a vietnamese style wedding with 8 traditional courses! We received compliments left and right from all of our guests on how amazing the food is (which I whole heartedly agree with) and when we told them that it was their in house chef and it was his first time catering to a vietnamese wedding, everyone was shocked. With the team from La Cantera and my wedding coordinator, I was mostly stress free. My family, friends, and wedding party didn’t have to worry about anything except to enjoy my wedding. I know most people don’t want to redo their wedding because of the stress, but I would relive this day over and over again. I highly highly recommend hosting your wedding here. They can help make anything possible!

Delightful Venue!

Gayle Wolfe was our shining star! She was fun to work with and made planning our wedding a dream come true! Gayle and her team went to great heights to help relocate our reception last minute due to the change in weather. Thank you for your support, wonderful memories and overall great experience. For the Venue, we had a number of people who contributed to a wonderful, relaxing weekend. The food (at multiple locations) was amazing and the service was top notch! The Pool and Spa was the icing on our cake! Thank you to everyone at La Cantera who was apart of our wedding week!

Where Luxury & Elegance is Taken Very Seriously!!

Henry Uribe was our contact from initial inquiry to the very end of our perfect wedding weekend - yup I said weekend! He facilitated the entirety of our rehearsal on Friday, complete with chairs in the actual location of our stunning Esparza Lawn outdoor ceremony. He also was there for the complete duration of our wedding on Saturday - including coming to the bridal-get-ready suite to see how I was doing and asked if he could get or help with anything. Lastly, he put together all accommodations for our Sunday post-wedding brunch for our guests. Flawless does not even hold a candle to the experience my husband and I felt we received with Henry and the stellar La Cantera staff. The food and drinks at all 3 events were (and still are) raved about. The facilities and luxurious accommodations for us and our guests is so far above what we had expected, we’re truly still in awe. After our literally-nothing-remotely-went-wrong perfect wedding day, my husband and I arrived in our honeymoon suite to find a chilled bottle of prosecco with two flutes, a hearty helping of each of our cakes (which we didn't get a chance to eat at the reception we were dancing so much!) with silverware. Every tiny detail that no other venue would have considered to provide, Henry did. Planning with him the last year and a half was a breeze. He provided an internet based editable venue space layout that made envisioning and planning our day incredibly easy. We threw a couple of last minute curve balls at him (such as forgetting to include my husband and I in our plated meal count, oops!!) and he took each in stride and ensured we were taken care of. He is a calm, warm presence and is truly gifted at what he does. Our day was perfect thanks to his endless efforts. Additionally, the La Cantera staff as a whole is a force to be reckoned with. From the bellhops who took our many decor boxes from the valet to our Friday night suite to our bridal suite to the reception site then back to the bridal suite - all with a smile and incredible personalities, to the valet staff who recognized both my parents AND my husband’s parents upon departure (at different times) who asked "How did everything go?!" we are just simply floored. The number of guests that were vacationing in La Cantera during our wedding weekend was immense but because the grounds are so well thought out and spread out, we never felt like there was a crowd at all at any point during the weekend. The only tip off I had that there was quite a bit of people was by checking out the kids pool during the day on Friday! Other than that, no one would have known they were hosting so many people! Bravo team La Cantera, you gave us the fairy tale wedding day and weekend we had always dreamed of. We couldn't be more thankful to have chosen the best option out there. Even better, we can't wait to vacation at La Cantera again to relive the love and attention we felt over our wedding weekend!!
