Beautiful Wedding!!!
The Venue was very responsive and listened to every detail! Janice was very friendly and able to help make our wedding easy and beautiful! This venue makes planning so much easier having a few of the main vendors included (catering, cake and DJ/music). Our wedding was everything and more! -

The Perfect Wedding
The Christmas House is everything that we could have asked for and more!! When we began our search for wedding venues, we knew that we wanted something that was all inclusive. The Christmas house provided that and more. Carrie and Sam were absolutely amazing hosts from our very first tour all the way through our entire wedding weekend. They helped us with the planning process and made sure that everything went smoothly. Every single vision that I had came to life that night. Carrie and Sam are the absolute soul of this home and they make it abundantly clear how much they genuinely care about each and every one of their couples and guests. We cannot recommend this venue enough!!!-

Wedding of our Haunted Dreams - Haunted mansion wedding
The Christmas house is literally THE GOAT of venues. There is nothing that we would have changed about our wedding. We planned everything with them in a matter of 3 months, and it went off without a hitch (unless your a ghost...)
From the bloomed grounds themselves, to the stunning 121 year old house, and the immaculate dancefloor we were constantly impressed by this venue. The owners Carrie and Sam were so accommodating and considerate of all of our wants and needs for the wedding. Jillian our coordinator helped with the stress, with organizing things and keeping timelines for us while answering every little question we had (even if it felt silly). Orlando was our photographer, and let me tell you if I could request anyone to take our photos again and again it would be him. He knows the angles needed to make you look your best, and he captures the most hauntingly stunning moments. The vendors that the Christmas house works with are top notch. They provide everything from the most BEAUTIFUL flowers, the BEST Dj/Emcee, the officiant that adds a little EXTRA pixie dust, DELICIOUS food, and not only the most beautiful cake we've seen but the most DECADENT to die for cake we've been graced with.
Thank you so much to the Christmas house for helping us create memories that will last lifetimes, even into the afterlife ;)

responsive, easy to work with, and the best people!
We cannot say enough good things about this venue and the couple who own it! They were responsive, easy to work with, and the best people! We felt taken care of at every step and our guests could not stop raving about our wedding! Everyone commented how wonderful everything was and how beautiful the venue was! We would not hesitate to have another event here! Also we highly recommend adding on the after party package so that some of your guests can stay at the house with you that night and enjoy a pizza party as well as breakfast the next morning, this was a HUGE success with our overnight guests. Carrie, Sam, and Jillian thank you so much for making our wedding so special and so stress-free! -

Amazing wedding Venue and Team!
The entire team at The Christmas House was incredible. They were always quick to respond and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the planning process. The venue itself is intimate and full of charm, creating such a special atmosphere for our day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the wedding cake—everything was absolutely delicious. The thoughtful extra touches, like late-night pizza after the guests had left and breakfast for overnight guests, made the experience even more memorable.

We got married at the Christmas House 11.12.11 and stayed there with our wedding party. It was amazing! We have plans of staying there again for our 10 year just around the corner. The pricing and everything it included was very fair. The venue was beautiful and every room was magical in its own way. Overall, I would do it there again and honestly had not one complaint. (It even rained the morning of our event and it was still amazing.) Thank you for the memories! -

Very very good
I’m in love with this place so very much it fits within my budget and what I love about this place is everything in my package is included except my flowers and photography. I get a wedding coordinator, a wedding designer and the even make my own wedding cake any way I want it. I also get to have my wedding party or guest to stay in the venue up to 6 guest per room, the venue also give us pizza sodas and champagne. The bride and groom get breakfast in bed or join the rest of the guest down stairs and have brunch in the dining room. We also get to open our wedding presents there too that’s what I love about this place. My mom cousin got married there and she had her wedding there I didn’t get to go I had to work but that was a few years ago so I do recommend the Christmas House Inn it’s the most beautiful place ever. -

What can I say... The Christmas House Inn and Gardens turned out to be one of the absolute best decisions my wife and I made for our special day. We always imagined an outdoor wedding with an great dance floor, hanging lights, and an intimate space. Once we found the Christmas House we just knew immediately that this was THE place. Everything on our wedding day went off without a hitch. We couldn't be any more happy with our choice. Thank you to Janice, Tessa, and Laura for all of the great communication and always being there for anything we needed. This place is A++ all the way!-

Our experience at the Christmas House absolutely amazing. Everything in the house is original, the grounds are gorgeous, and the prices are very reasonable for Southern California. Janice and Tessa made themselves completely available during the planning process and handled everything the day-of. Thanks to their hard work, organization, and creative expertise, our wedding day could not have been more perfect. My advice to brides-to-be would be to trust them and to trust the process. And if you want to plan a wedding that is as worry-free as possible, have your wedding here!-

The Christmas House Inn is a beautiful venue! Working with Janice is a dream. She is extremely kind, organized, responsive, and willing to help provide ideas and suggestions. The house itself has a very Victorian feel to it and has a lot of the original brick work within the house. Janice has updated the house without taking away any of the Victorian charm. She was also very willing to hep, but honest with me when I suggested a few things she has never done before. With the option to have everything included in your wedding package, the Christmas House makes getting married exactly what it is supposed to be: fun and stress free! Definitely a place you want to check out! -

This venue was everything we wanted. We loved the romantic setting of our reception. Janice is a great wedding coordinator and she will work with you to make your vision happen. The food was great and the cake was delicious. Our guests enjoyed the atmosphere at the venue. The lightning of the trees, the dance floor and the historical house all contributed to making our wedding one of he most memorable weddings for our guests. -

After searching through about 6 venues, nothing compared to the Christmas House. It was a small, vintage and intimate location that was exactly what I wanted. Janice has a great service team and did great with timing and guiding us from the very first day we signed the papers a year before the wedding. Because she has partnered with other companies (Spaggi’s Restaurant, Cucamonga Cakery, Wisteria Grove, and Paid2Party), it made everything hassle free. She handled payments and scheduled drop off times with those vendors allowing me to really enjoy my wedding! We also got to spend our first night together as husband and wife in their classic carriage room which made it easy to relax right after the wedding! It’s thanks to Janice’s attention to detail and professionalism of the staff that would make me choose this place all over again! -

I held my wedding here October 2010 and it was absolutely perfect. Janice and her staff did a phenomenal job, I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Janice does such a great job of coordinating the day that I didn't panic for even a moment. I LOVED having my wedding here and would HIGHLY recommend others to do the same. -

We were a new-age B&G that was paying for the wedding with our own funds. So we searched for a venue that gave us great value but didn't discount any of our wishes. The CH really fit our desires, budget and fit perfectly with our happily-ever-after. The packages that the CH offers range from small weddings to your over-the-top weddings. Our package gave us a referral & included the cost of our catering, DJ, cake & supplied us with all of the tables & chairs for our cocktail-hour reception. The CH venue allows you to plan a wedding with minimal stress because your primary contact is limited with the referrals of your primary services.
*** The peace-of-mind that we experienced with having a ceremony & reception onsite was perfect. We would strongly recommend doing the same for a less-eventful day and more time to enjoy your moment together and with all in attendance. -

Everyone at the Christmas House truly enjoys what they do. They love weddings and it shows in their service, flexibility and quality. They are highly professional and have secured relationships with vendors who share the same passion for excellent service to make this a one-stop shop wedding venue. The food and cake were incredible. -

I love the Christmas House Inn & Gardens because of its intimacy and the house and grounds itself has a lot of character already to where you don't need to add a lot of decor which helps with cost. One of the negatives I have about this venue is that they only provide a 5 hour event time, which is NOT enough time to have a ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. They allow you to add extra time, but at a very high cost per 30 mins. Also, they are NOT flexible with their alcohol packages. You must go through their bar package and they don't allow you to customize it at all. Even tho there are a few negatives with this location, my fiance and I still decided to book here because of its intimacy, natural beauty, and the friendliness of the owner. Janice makes planning a wedding here so easy. She acts as the day of coordinator which is very rare to find. -

Extremely unhappy
I would caution any couple about getting married at the Christmas House.
(now) husband and I were supposed to get married at The Christmas House in 2020, but our wedding was canceled a few months prior due to the coronavirus. We do not blame The Christmas House for the pandemic, and our decision to cancel our wedding; our frustrations stem from the lack of communication by Janice, the owner and coordinator of the Christmas House, and the fact that we have not received a dime of our money back.
Once our wedding was canceled, any type of communication with Janice has become extremely difficult. The Christmas House stopped answering their phone and said all business would be conducted via email, but at times it has taken months to receive a reply.
It has been almost 2 years since our original wedding date and we are still fighting for our money.
