Irene L. Sent on 05/29/2022They made our dreams come true!
We just had our wedding on Friday, 05/20/2022 -- the Europa Village team was an absolute pleasure to work with and the venue was delightfully picturesque. Of course we initially fell in love with the aesthetics of the winery, but the friendly, attentive and professional Europa team is what made us lock-in our venue decision. With each and every visit leading up to our wedding (initial consultation, wine & menu tasting, engagement photoshoot) we fell more and more in love with the venue and team.
Our favorite venue features were (1) an extremely spacious and beautiful bridal suite, (2) delicious food - received multiple complements from the guests, (3) a beautiful gazebo for the wedding lawn alter, (4) comfortable outdoor dining area for cocktail hour / reception, (5) delicious and wide variety of wine, and (6) variety of photo/video spots (rose garden, cafe area, wine cavern, vineyard)
The key Events Team members we worked with were Yesika (initial consultation), Yvette (planning) and Leann (day-of-coordinator). I was naturally anxious leading up to the wedding as I tend to over-plan and over-worry. However, each email and conversation I had with the ladies gave me complete comfort that we were in good hands. I especially appreciated: (1) transparency in prices, (2) thorough and timely responses to all of my questions, (3) their calm, positive and patient demeanor despite my anxiety level, (4) organization to avoid confusion in wedding layout or timeline, (5) patiently accepting the numerous changes I had with the layout and menu decisions, (6) being kind and friendly to all guests, family and vendors, (7) hosting a great rehearsal, (8) showing up at lightning speed anytime I called them on the day of, and (9) going above and beyond in making sure all guests were comfortable, including bringing out heaters in the middle of spring. We really can't thank them enough! -

Can’t say enough positive things about Europa! The venue as a whole is so beautiful, so many different options for backdrops for photos (vineyard, garden, Spanish architecture, and more). The first thing our photographers said when they saw it was, “Wow!” The events team is responsive to any of our emails and very professional (shout out to Yesika and Yvette!). Our special day was just as we wanted and planned. Not to mention, the food & wine was all a crowd pleaser. Thank you for making our wedding just what we wanted! -

11-5-2021 Wedding
We got married at the Cest La Vie property at Europa Village on 11-5-21, and it was an absolute dream come true. I still cant believe how lucky we were to have been able to be surrounded by such beauty on such an important day in our lives. I felt like It could have been in wedding magazine, and this was all achieved on a budget!
The process leading up to our wedding day was absolutely seamless. The venue staff truly take their jobs seriously, and will do everything in their power to make your vision a reality. Any question I had/any email I sent, was responded to with urgency, and I felt very confident going into the big day. The day went very smoothly, and any issue that arose, (which is always inevitable) was dealt with in a very professional manner, and was kept away from my husband and I.
Anyways, if you are considering Europa Village for your wedding, look no further. One step into this beautiful venue, and you will know its the one! :) -

The most perfect place for a June wedding
I had my wedding here in June, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Everyone complimented me after on my venue selection. The vines were gorgeous, the set up was gorgeous, the flowers were gorgeous, the gazebo was gorgeous, everything about it was just so beautiful!! Not to mention Kirstie and Yesika also made planning my wedding and the day of the wedding as least stressful as possible, they were always answering my questions with such clarity and patience it really helped out so much I can't even explain how grateful I was for those two! My wedding day at first did not go super smoothly because of some outside factors but Kirstie was so on top of everything that at the end it all worked out and she did everything she could to make sure the schedule was followed and that everyone and everything was taken care of. She really went above and beyond my expectations. The only thing that I can say about the venue is that it is smaller, as it is a smaller winery so before the day of the wedding I wish I would have gone to scope it out a little bit more and plan each activity like picture spots and so on ahead of time so I and other people weren't so lost when it came time to take pictures or exit but this had absolutely nothing to do with the coordinators, again with it being smaller some activities you may not be ready to interact with guests but you'll be within sight so people will be calling you over or not where they are supposed to be. I also had just never been in a wedding before and we skipped out on the rehearsal. So that's my small piece of advice to anyone considering getting married here, is to plan out everything beforehand. But other than that, is was a truly amazing venue and the people that work there definitely care to make your day as special as possible. -

Lauren Sent on 11/24/2018Europa Village is the perfect Wedding Venue!
Europa Village is the perfect wedding venue! I just got married there and I cannot even express in words how grateful I am to the venue, the event coordinators, chef and all staff members. The day was magical and our guests are still raving about it! The space is intimate, charming, rustic and elegant. My mom and I had visited quite a few wineries in Temecula, but when we met Yesika and we toured the site, we instantly felt a connection. Yesika, the event manager, was professional and she is a complete expert. Her priority is knowing her brides and ensuring they are happy every step of the way. We had a guest list of 175 and not a huge budget, but Yesika helped us to get a lot of bang for our buck. Everyone at Europa Village is so friendly and warm and that is what we wanted for our guests. Chef Dean, who manages the Europa Inn and cooks for the weddings, delivered exceptional appetizers and a spectacular dinner. We are big foodies, and we would highly recommend the food at Europa. Yesika and Kirstie were on it and managed to get 175 meals out super fast and hot! Guests wouldn’t stop talking about how good the food was. The wine was also exquisite and there is a great variety available.
I feel like Europa Village is a well kept secret that needs to get out. If you are looking for a wedding venue that comes with exceptional food, drinks, accessibility for guests, and coordinators who are smart, flexible, and 100% committed to making your day everything you envision, Europa Village is the place. I had a specific vision of how I wanted the venue to look and feel, and they did everything they could to help fulfill my vision. Kirstie and Yesika were so professional and always a step ahead.
Several guests stayed at the Europa Village Inn and so did we. The service was top notch, breakfast was included and was incredible, and the views from the Inn are stunning. You can drive on a gold cart down to the winery in just 1-2 minutes. Our guests kept saying how beautiful and how picture perfect the whole experience was.
At the winery, there was plenty of parking and guests were able to keep their cars overnight. There is also a really nice bridal suite on site with plenty of room and amentities. We feel so lucky to have found Europa Village and there is not one thing we would change about the whole experience. We are forever grateful to Europa Village for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
Xo, Lauren and CamEuropa Village Wineries & Resort's reply:
Hi Lauren!!! Thank you so much for the kind words. Your wedding was beautiful and your looked stunning! Doing a walk-thru after your set-up, I could see your vision and it made me smile to see the items set-up after knowing how passionate you were about every detail during the planning. I also admired how thoughtful you were about your guests and how comfortable you wanted them to be. I am extremely happy to hear that your guests had a great time! Most of your guests, expressed how beautiful everything looked and we made sure they knew that the design was all you!

Kendall O. Sent on 11/13/2018October 27th wedding at Europa Village
Europa village looks and feels like something out of a storybook. As soon as we toured the grounds months back, we knew this is where we wanted to say our “I dos”. From the wedding lawn by the vines, to the Italian wine cave for cocktail hour, it is truly an experience for you and your wedding guests. Not only is the winery and landscaping breathtaking (you really don’t have to add much to it!) but the service was exemplary. Kirstie was our coordinator and went above and beyond to help make the process easy and our wedding day run smoothly! The event staff was so friendly and attentive during the reception. And the food, AMAZING. People are still talking about how good our wedding food was (you don’t hear that very often!)
We highly recommend Kirstie, and Europa Village to couples looking to get married at a Temecula Winery. Delicious food, great wine, beautiful venue and superb service.

Europa Village is not only a stunning venue, but has an amazing staff! Yesika and Kirstie helped me plan my wedding from across the country and made the process effortless. They were so helpful prior to the wedding and the day of. I had a gown emergency and they were ready to help. Chef’s food selections were nothing short of fine cuisine. I highly recommend Europa Village as a wedding venue. -

Alma Sent on 04/19/2017My review comes a little late! My husband and I got married at Europa Village on October 29th and the wedding was nothing short of amazing! We had been looking for an outdoor venue in the LA area but nothing was really striking us as "special". Temecula wasn't too far away (and I had actually never been there so I didn't know what to expect) so we decided to make an appointment and check out Europa Village. From the beginning Yesika was such a joy to speak with. When we arrived at the venue I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and intimate it felt, it was love at first sight! Our first meeting with Yesika was wonderful! she was so friendly and warm, as corny as it sounds we instantly had a connection. She went over every single detail about what was to be expected and or included in the pricing (which was perfect for the 150 people I was planning to invite), I loved that everything was all-inclusive and there were no hidden fees nor surprises. I literally was done looking, that was the place we were going to get married! The whole planning process was breezy, most of the communication we were able to do over email or phone, finalizing any details and questions/answers in our couple of in-person meetings. We also had the opportunity to work with Jessica who was just as friendly and warm and a pleasure to work with and help coordinate the most special day in our lives. On the day of our menu tasting, Yesika allowed my husband's aunt to be part of it and share in the experience. This meant so much to us since she is basically his mother figure in the west coast with my mother in-law living all the way in NJ. When our wedding day finally came, Jessica was on top of every single detail. We had so much going on in the 5 hours we had the venue, there's no way that I would have been able to remember what was next or who was doing what! I was able to relax from time to time and just enjoy the experience, and rely on her to come find me. I would do it all over again! -

User1976278 Sent on 12/18/2014Europa Village could not have been a more perfect venue for our dream night. The entire process from start to finish working with the team was fantastic. We had many creative/design/food/wine/organizational meetings - with my planner being more patient and kinder each step of the way. When it came down to crunch time, mini crisis were handled with ease by the amazing team at Europa village. On the day of - I nearly didn't see or hear from the staff. They handled EVERYTHING and when I came out of the suite - what I saw was a dream come true. They were there if I needed them the entire day - but working completely behind the scenes. Everything went off without a hitch and they even put up with my not only crazy navy husband's friends but also wild New Yorkers from my side of the family. And just because the wedding is over, doesn't mean our relationship with the folks at the vineyard has stopped! They won't let us go away - offering constant tastings to come up, chat, and just catch-up. I would recommend this venue to anyone and am so grateful my husband and I could share our special night here with friends and family. We truly enjoyed the night of our lives :) -
User1821514 Sent on 09/21/2014This review is for our wedding reception we had at the Inn at Europa Village planned by Europa Village. Our event coordinator was Brandon. He was wonderful. Very responsive to my emails and requirements. He was very attentive throughout the event to exceed our expectations. I would definitely recommend you do your event here. It was more than we could have ever dreamed! Thank you Brandon -
User1773641 Sent on 08/20/2014When my now husband and I got engaged, we agreed we wanted an intimate wedding celebration for family and close friends (< 100 people total). After touring many of the facilities in Temecula, we stumbled across Europa Village and immediately fell in love with the site.
We booked Europa Village for our wedding and reception, as well as the Inn for the weekend and rehearsal dinner. Alyssa Ruiz was our event coordinator; she was helpful, responsive, super fun to work with and even my friends and family just adore her (in fact, all of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful too). The food was incredible - Chef Dean is a gift. At the rehearsal dinner we had the Libido braised beef, and my husband's uncle said it was the best meal he'd ever had. And the food at the wedding reception was absolutely perfect.
Our goal for our wedding was "a fancy picnic in a vineyard" and we got exactly that. Our guests keep complementing us on a great wedding, saying it's the best they've ever been to, and that they could have sat around the dinner table eating, drinking wine and enjoying the views of the vineyard while celebrating the bride and groom and catching up with loved ones all night long.
If you book Europa Village, you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be back to the Inn and winery to celebrate anniversaries in the future!
Thank you Alyssa, Chef Dean and team!!!
