Where do I even begin.... I attended a wedding at GT around 9-10 years ago and remembered telling myself I'd have a wedding here. Fast forward to September 2025 and the venue was just as beautiful as I had remembered. In addition to a gorgeous tropical setting, every single person at GT made our wedding day dreams come true. Danielle, our wedding coordinator, was a literal DREAM. She was PHENOMENAL. She provided logistics, organization, and paid attention to meticulous details that allowed myself and Chris to not stress, but fully enjoy and be present on our wedding day. GT lets you schedule three meetings with your coordinator leading up to your wedding day and I cannot stress enough that throughout the meetings and constant emails Danielle very quickly began to feel like a friend to both Chris and I. Her care, kindness, and gentleness allowed Chris and I to build a connection with our coordinator beyond having someone handle the logistics on the day of. We could look at Danielle and know that everything was going to be okay; she had every detail/instruction nailed to a tee!
The entire staff at GT was so pleasant and everyone moved so efficiently to keep the day flowing SO smoothly. My guests were shocked at how well we kept to the schedule and that truly is in part to how well the staff at GT is able to work with each other and the wedding couple. They also have a very strong list of preferred vendors and the collaboration and trust between each group to coordinate a wedding day is clear as day!
In addition to the staff being amazing, my guests were in AWE at the gardens and waterfalls. Chris and I chose Arbor Terrace and you would not believe the amount of guests that mentioned to us that the space was BEAUTIFUL. Our guests felt transported to another location and this was one of the main reasons why Chris and I chose this location. Our guests also LOVED the food and drinks! We were told repeatedly that this was some of the best wedding food they had ever eaten.
So thank you Grand Tradition for helping Chris and I have one of the best if not THE best day of our lives thus far and allowing us to start our new journey in the most magical venue!

Best Day Of Our Lives!
Our wedding day was truly perfect from start to finish. Everything leading up to the event was well organized, and the day of the wedding went more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for our special day, with a high-end elegance that impressed everyone.
Our coordinator, Nicole, was incredible. She helped with everything throughout the planning process and was especially amazing on the day of the wedding. She was always available, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her support genuinely reduced my stress—if anything, the team helped mediate and ease it rather than add to it.
The entire staff was professional, friendly, and clearly well-coordinated. Everyone communicated seamlessly and knew exactly what needed to be done, which made the day flow effortlessly. The venue was also very affordable, and there were no unexpected stresses or issues.
Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food, the atmosphere, and the overall high-end elegance of the venue, which meant so much to us. Overall, we had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Five stars is truly not enough to reflect how satisfied we were. I would absolutely book this venue again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run, and stress-free wedding venue.

AMAZING VENUE! Not enough stars to give to this venue and their staff!
We got married at the Beverly Mansion side of the Grand Tradition and wow, we cannot give enough glowing reviews for our experience here. Nowadays, weddings are extremely expensive and there are so many horror stories out there for different couples and their planning process. We had quite the opposite experience with the Grand Tradition and their coordinators. After pricing out multiple venues and vendors, the Grand Tradition was definitely the best bang for your buck. They don’t nickel and dime you for every little thing. Yes, there are cheaper venues out there, but you get what you pay for. For our costs, a buffet style dinner(or plated) was included along with all the tables, chairs, place settings, etc that other venues were nickel and diming us for. This is one of the only venues that has a restaurant on site so they do all their own inhouse catering. Food is extremely important to us and having been guests at other weddings, we knew we didn’t want boring and tasteless food. The Grand Tradition actually schedules a tasting party for you months prior so that you can taste all they have to offer and make your selections which becomes a very hard decision since all of their food was delicious. We fell in love with the venue and all it had to offer, but what really sold us was the customer service.The entire process from start to finish was seamless and extremely convenient. Our coordinator Molly and her staff were so helpful in the days leading up to the wedding. Words cannot describe our gratitude for her and all of the staff on the actual day of the wedding! We were right on schedule for each event and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Our guests have commented that it was definitely one of the best weddings that they have ever been to which we have to give credit to the staff for that. We chose the buffet style dinner which ensured each guest got enough to eat and were able to choose what they actually wanted to eat! The venue itself was pretty customizable to fit our needs as we were pretty unconventional with some of the vendors that we brought in. All in all, it is easy to plan an affordable wedding here because of everything that is included. Kudos to all of the staff members and an extremely well run operation! We cannot recommend this venue enough and cannot wait to come back to visit!

Dream Venue
October 10th 2025 wedding
I can not say enough great things about our experience with Grand Tradition! We had booked with Grand Tradition back in 2023 and absolutely fell in love with everything about this venue. First off it transports you to a literal tropical vacation with its lush well kept grounds, it had waterfalls throughout the property, there is so much greenery and trees it really is a dream. The staff here are incredible, everyone we interacted with was very professional, nice and willing to help answer any questions we had. Grand Tradition includes so many things other venues do not one very important thing was their event coordinator. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole and she was nothing short of perfect and amazing during the whole process. She is not just a day of coordinator she is a real full time coordinator that is there to help plan and be there for meetings, address any concerns, she was truly a valuable part of our experience. We wanted to add personal details that Nicole was able to arrange for us, she never said no, she always found a way to make things work for us. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls, we always felt valued. Once our wedding day came the staff at Grand Tradition blew us and our family's away. They were so efficient, any hiccups that occurred they fixed right away. They provided golf cart access to our elderly family members, everyone was greeted with our champagne of choice, I had a bridal assistant that stayed by my side the whole day, she was amazing as well. my bracelet had broken and she managed to fix it, she fixed my brothers button on his tux that had fallen off, she was always there with out signature drinks she made sure I stayed hydrated with water. Nicole was such a vital role in how the day played out, every time I asked for something she was right there, she was behind the scenes and made the day so perfect for Ken and I. I can not say enough good things about Grand Tradition and Nicole. We had our dream wedding at Grand Tradition, booking them was the greatest decision we made wedding planning. If your on the fence I would encourage you to book them. Thank you everyone at Grand Tradition for giving us such an amazing wedding we will never forget.

Absolutely Tropically Magical
We had our wedding here at Arbor Terrace in September 2025.
From the start, we were fortunate enough to meet with Scott who gave us a tour of all that GT had to offer. Then came our amazing wedding coordinator Danielle, who made us instantly comfortable with her easygoing personality, always quickly responded to our questions, and provided reassuring guidance leading up to the wedding. Come the day of the wedding (and for this, we also want to highlight and call out Noelle for being amazing), we were checked on throughout the night, our needs were always placed first, and the schedule was adjusted flexibly to adapt to delays. We were beyond satisfied with the level of support we received by all the staff at GT.
In commenting on the food, many guests commented on the buffet selection being “some of the best wedding food they've had". Many guests also commented on the beauty of Arbor Terrace and for those who traveled from afar, comments were made of "this was worth the trip".
Thank you GT for an amazing experience.

Wedding at Arbor Terrace
The professionalism the day of the wedding was 10/10! Jasmine was our coordinator and did an absolute amazing job. HIGHLY recommend her when planning your wedding. She made it feel like I was planning it with a friend. Always returned my calls, emails, texts in a timely manor. She truly made the process easy when I look back on everything. She made the wedding day seamless and ran things very professionally and calmly. The venue was gorg! At first we thought it was expensive, but when the wedding was all said and done- it was worth every penny! We wouldn’t change anything! HIGHLY recommend this place and Jasmine as your coordinator.

Dream Wedding at Grand Tradition
The Grand Tradition team made my dream wedding come true, at their Arbor Terrace venue. When we were first touring the venue, I was blown away. I’m talking jaw-on-floor: blown away. The waterfalls (plural, yes), well-manicured trees and tropical plants, and small touches all made me look at my (now husband) and say “wow, this is the place.”
Danielle Main was our day-of coordinator, and she supported us with organizing our planning steps, what to expect, and was there to help it all go smoothly on our big day. She helped take so many of our logistical worries away.
The rest of the staff also played a pivotal part in making the day go smoothly. The servers, bartenders, golf cart attendants, parking attendants, and many more, helped everyone feel cared for and relaxed. They were absolute rockstars. Even when there were a few hiccups on our end, the team made it so that we barely noticed anything went wrong. It felt like a movie, fairy tail, everything you want from a wedding venue.
Our guests keep telling us how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and how tasty the food was too. We are so happy we chose Grand Tradition as our wedding venue, and certainly recommend it!
P.S. when you go for your menu tasting, the food might be underwhelming due to the fact that they make so many different things for the tastings. Trust us when we say that your food on your wedding day can be WAY better (more tender, moist, to YOUR taste) on your big day. Just tell them how you want things cooked, and they will make it happen. They certainly did for us.

Thank you so much for the kind words Elizabeth :) We are so pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at Grand Tradition! It was an honor to be part of your love story! 💍🥂

100% recommend this venue
I had my wedding at Arbor Terrace at Grand Tradition in June. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the staff was really organized. The coordinator and day of bridal assistant were also super helpful. Our friends and family made numerous comments about how organized the staff were and how good the food was. We had zero regrets having our wedding here and I would recommend it to other couples. We also primarily used vendors from their recommended list and we had a great experience with all our vendors.

BEAUTIFUL venue and INCREDIBLE staff for wedding!
Got married @ Grand Tradition (Arbor Terrace) in April 2025. Molly, our coordinator, was incredible from beginning to end. She was thorough in each meeting, was super helpful and answered all our questions, and SO PATIENT! For the wedding rehersal and wedding day, she made sure everything went smoothly - we barely had to stress about anything. Our whole bridal party loved her because she was so on top of everything! Everyone raved about how beautiful the venue was, and how good the food tasted. If you're looking to get married in Southern CA - please check out Grand Tradition!

Breathtaking venue
We had an amazing experience here at The Grand Tradition!
Nicole was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't ask for a better person! We’re beyond grateful for everything she helped us with. For the past 7 months Nicole has been in contact with us making sure we get things done, know what they have to offer and always offering her help. My husband and I were honestly slackers when it came to planning our wedding but Nicole was on it and made sure we got things done which we appreciate so much! We constantly had updates and check ins from Nicole which was really kind! Day of the wedding Nicole was there making sure everything went well. There was a problem that one of our vendors a photo booth did NOT show up which was pretty awful. I could not get a hold of them but Nicole took over and tried as best she could to figure out what was going on. That vendor didn't show up at all but luckily we had Nicole who was kind enough and fast acting and set up the Grand Traditions photo booth. Our guests had so much fun with it and it's all thanks to Nicole. She is a very hard working woman, I cannot explain enough how above and beyond, helpful and appreciated Nicole was during this whole process!
Kaya was my Bridal Assistant and she was great! Kaya was on it!! She had a bunch of emergency things with her that I ended up needing and my wedding party. I got married on a rainy day so the bottom of my dress got pretty dirty, right before I took pictures after the ceremony Kaya was prepared and got a bunch of the dirt out of my dress!! Kaya and Nicole took their time bustling my dress to make sure it looked good! I appreciate all of Kaya’s help. She was great!
Music during the ceremony was perfect! Their timing on everything was great!
Food was beyond amazing! All night we heard people talking about how delicious the food was. The spinach chicken wellington was sooo delicious… If i could get a recipe that would be great haha! The food had so much flavor and felt like it was cooked carefully and with passion. It has been a week since my wedding and people keep texting me that they are craving the food from my wedding!
Service staff, everyone who was working that day was awesome! I saw several times where they used teamwork to get things done which was nice to see. They were all kind and hard working. I walked in the tent when the wedding was done because a guest lost their wallet. They quickly stopped what they were doing to help me look (It was in his pocket.. He was drunk lol!) but still they didn't even hesitate to help me! Everytime I walked past a worker they would tell me congratulations which was very kind!
Bar, I personally didn't go to it often because I don't drink but I did notice my guests making conversation with the bartender and having fun! When I did go to refill my soda or water he was very kind!
Dressing rooms were so cute on both sides! They were clean and cutely decorated. They prepared a snack board, water and cider for us which was so nice! The only thing I'd recommend about changing in the rooms is to add a tv or speakers for music in the bridal room.
Menu tasting was included in our package which we had such a fun time attending. There are so many things inside of the wedding packages that are so great! Another great one is lifetime garden passes!!
Venue itself was just beyond beautiful!! We chose Arbor Terrace for our ceremony which was gorgeous. The Arbor Terrace is a tropical vibe, there is so much greenery it's just so beautiful. All of the greenery and waterfalls made it where we honestly didn't need a lot of decorations and it was still so beautiful. All night we got compliments about how beautiful the venue is. It feels so fresh and magical for your perfect day. Its hard to put into words how breathtaking Grand Tradition is. It is 100% a must see venue.
We spent a total of 13,025.94 the only extra stuff we added were lanterns for the reception tent. This price is for 75 people and there is so much included in the package.

We would get married here all over again
My husband and I got married at Grand Tradition in December 2024. From start to finish, we were impressed with the communication and transparency we received from Grand Tradition.
When we first visited the site, we took a tour of the grounds that lasted about an hour. We were given all the details we needed, including the total price and a breakdown of what we would be paying for. I loved this transparency, especially to see if it was within our budget for what we were looking for.
Once we locked in our date, we were assigned a wedding coordinator. We met with her every three months for an hour to discuss new and standing details. However, if we had questions, Lisa was on it! If we had any changes, she took note of them.
As we got closer to the wedding date, we had our menu tasting, which is also a social event where you meet other couples who are getting married at Grand Tradition, along with meeting the other wedding coordinators as well. We had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty. Note: When doing your tasting, make sure you have a scale to know what items (drink or food) you'd like to have at your wedding (e.g., 1 to 10).
The organizational skills of Grand Tradition were exceptional. We were well attended to from start to finish. Our guests and family were impressed with how well attended they were, making sure we stayed on track with time as the day flew by, and keeping everything in order.
I cannot thank Lisa, our wedding coordinator, as well as all the staff at Grand Tradition, enough for making wedding planning so much easier. It felt like we could truly enjoy our wedding without having to worry about anything. We would get married here all over again without a doubt.

Great Experience
I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Grand Tradition, and it was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, Molly, our coordinator, made the experience seamless and stress-free. The setting was absolutely breathtaking, with every detail meticulously arranged to create a truly enchanting atmosphere. The buffet was fantastic—offering a wide array of delicious options that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The service was top-tier, with the staff being both attentive and genuinely caring. If you’re looking for a perfect venue with outstanding service and a stunning ambiance, Grand Tradition and Molly will exceed all your expectations!

The Perfect Day!
Me and my husband recently got married here at the Beverly Mansion. It was truly the perfect day!
VENUE: Of course, Grand Tradition is absolutely beautiful (it is what we were initially drawn to). Their landscape is always luscious and VERY well-kept. Gorgeous bright green lawns and colorful flowers. You hardly even need any ceremony décor. This venue is pretty enough on its own.
COORDINATION: We had a coordinator swap midway through planning, and ended up with Lisa. She was EXTRAORDINARY! She made the whole entire process such a breeze and easily answered any questions/concerns we had. Lisa was professional, organized and extremely friendly. We loved getting to work with her. She worked her butt off during the entire process, and it showed on our wedding day. Everything ran SO smooth. Lisa made sure to keep us on schedule and handled all the vendors, everything went without a hitch.
STAFF: The entire Grand Tradition staff we had on our wedding day exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived I almost felt like a celebrity. We were treated with smiles, enthusiasm and care. The whole team was professional and really knew how to put on a wedding. I had two bridal assistants, Mackenna and Kaitlyn, who were absolute angels. You both really made me feel at ease with our little chats. You were constantly checking in on me, fixing my dress, holding my drinks, getting me food and doing anything I needed throughout the entire day.
FOOD: You never really know what you are going to get with wedding food, but I think Grand Tradition has some of the best. That had SO many options when picking out what we wanted on our buffet, it made it easy to accommodate all different tastes. Our guests are still telling us how amazing their food was. Everything was truly delicious!
Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone. If you want a fairytale, stress-free and perfect wedding, this is the place to go!

Stunning and Flawless Day!
My wedding went FLAWLESSLY! The entire team at Grand Tradition was incredible. The day was shockingly stress-free because of how well the team works together. Danielle was so incredibly sweet and helpful throughout the entire planning process. My bridal assistant was SO helpful throughout the day, too. She was always right there to help me with anything that I needed throughout the day. My guests were blown away with the attention to detail that the venue provides to every couple. And the food - omg! - the food was absolutely incredible. I received so many compliments from friends and family on the buffet choices we had. I cannot express how truly grateful I am to the entire staff at Grand Tradition. I highly recommend the venue to anyone who is considering hosting their wedding here.

A Beautiful Venue with a Team to Execute Your Vision
When we toured the Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens, we knew this was the venue we were going to choose. It’s beautiful (our guests absolutely loved it!) and there’s so many locations to take pictures at. We got married at the Arbor Terrace site and it’s like being transported to Hawaii – so lush and green (and cool!) even during July! Plus, due to how long they’ve been in business, Grand Tradition really has the whole wedding thing down perfectly so they’re able to help you execute everything the way you want it.
Our planner, Molly, was phenomenal. She was so helpful and always answered all of our questions and gave the best advice! Not to mention, we were able to stay on track with our timeline so she was WONDERFUL.
The food was good. Our guests enjoyed it, but they especially loved the appetizers.
Is it a little pricey? Maybe. But it's well worth it considering the value (and convenience) you get. Overall, it’s a beautiful venue and they’ll help you throw an amazing event.

Amazing venue and staff
Our coordinator Nicole was amazing. She was so helpful every step of the way even though she was assigned as my coordinator a little last minute since my original coordinator left the company. At first, I was very nervous, but Nicole stepped in and knew exactly what she was doing. She was exceptional the day of the wedding. My bridal assistant, Adriana, was amazing as well. Helping me with my dress the entire time as well as getting our dinner for my husband and me. My guests had nothing but amazing things to say about everything, especially the food. Not one person had anything bad to say about it. My husband and I are so happy with how everything turned out. It was honestly a dream come true. If I could do it all over again, I would still choose Grand Tradition. I'm so happy I found this venue.

Wedding March 2022
Very overdue review. When we ventured out to pick a location for our wedding, we knew immediately that Grand Tradition (Arbor Terrace) was going to be the perfect fit for us. We had toured many locations throughout Temecula and neighboring cities, but none compared to how we felt when we toured Arbor Terrace. The location was so beautifully kept with blooming flowers and all of the wonderful fountains that it was easy to picture our big day at this beautiful location. My husband and I returned to our car and both knew this was the place (the best feeling during stressful wedding planning). We were assigned Sarah Fox as our Wedding Event Coordinator and could not have landed better support for our big event. She was incredibly organized and supportive from start to finish. The planning phase was made very easy and we enjoyed being able to meet with her and easily decide all the planning details. The food selection was also made very easy after attending the trial dinner and being able to connect with other couples on how they were planning their special day. The actual wedding day was truly magical. Sarah and our Wedding Assistant Danielle were like a well-oiled machine, taking us through each step seamlessly and attending to truly all of our needs (like making sure my husband actually ate). Our guests continue to tell us that it was one of the most beautiful locations they have ever attended for a wedding some saying it was the best they have ever attended. We can credit this to the beautiful setting and the truly great service. I highly recommend this venue for your special day. If you are looking for a worry-free day with a stunning setting and amazing food, this place is for you. Other notable mentions on the team were Dominic, Nkosi, Giselle, Marc, Nicole, Payton, Faith, Amelia, Claudia, Noelle and Ryan but a very very special thank you to Sarah Fox and Danielle for making this the best day in our lives thus far. We are truly grateful for this amazing day and all of the support we were given

Fallbrook's Hidden Gem
We got married at the Arbor Terrace on 10.5.22 and had the most amazing time! Fallbrook is a small town, and you would never know this venue is here if you weren't actively looking for it. We are so lucky to have found it! We can't imagine our special day, anywhere else 👰♀️🤵♂️
Venue✅ GORGEOUS! It truly is like you've entered another world. Everyone could not stop talking about the views. They compared it to Hawaii, Animal Kingdom in WDW, and even Jurassic Park 😅 Most of our guests were from out of town, so we really wanted them to feel like they were on vacation.
Food✅ Honestly, I was nervous about this, because what is the point of a beautiful wedding if the food isn't good. Food was delicious! A popular favorite was the Prime Rib 🤤 Guests also loved the Halibut, Berry Salad, and Potato Gratin 👌
Drinks ✅ Usually when there is a bar package, there is very small selection you can pick from, especially if it's a beer and wine package. Our guests were SO happy with the large selection. We also were able to have 2 of the venue's signature cocktails for guests to purchase: Love Struck (similar to an amaretto sour) and Radiant Orchid (has my favorite Malibu Rum and it's purple!). Those were a hit with guests 🎉
Service✅ Excellent staff! So helpful, friendly, and professional. We felt that they all genuinely wanted to be there to help us ❤️
Coordination and Planning ✅ Molly is incredible! I actually am a Wedding Coordinator as well, and it's hard to let go of control but it was so easy to trust Molly with everything. I didn't need to check the timeline or even just the time, because I knew she had it. During planning, I never felt pressured or nervous about anything. Thank you for so much, Molly! Also, big shout out to my 2 bridal assistants! I enjoyed our chats in between events. It really made me feel at ease. Also, y'all were really on it with holding my bouquet, fixing my dress, and holding my veil. Really made a difference in the photos 👌
We are so grateful to everyone who helped us create such a beautiful day for us and our loved ones 🥰

Fairytale wedding Oct 7 2022
We had our wedding at Grand Tradition 10.07.22. The wedding of my dreams!!! I am so happy and grateful to have gotten married at Grand Tradition. Lisa V. was our wedding coordinator she is great! We choose the Beverly mansion/gazebo package. STUNNING. Well worth the money. We had cocktail hour at the orchid bar, gorgeous! Our guests rave about our wedding, saying it was the best wedding ever. We used all our venues requested by them, and highly recommend doing the same!! I got ready in the bridal suite, so pretty! The food and drinks was amazing! All staff is great to work with!! Only venue we looked at, it was perfect!! I highly recommend the horse and carriage!! LOVED every single moment!!!!

Wedding of our dreams!
We got married at Grand Tradition Estate and Garden's Arbor Terrace site on July 14th, 2022. Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful this location was. Not only did they find it beautiful, but they have also expressed how professional the staff was to ensure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed. It is like having a wedding in Hawaii without having to travel to Hawaii! The grounds are kept beautiful year round. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the service they provide is excellent. We were provided with a wedding coordinator who took so much stress away from the wedding planning process! Thank you so much, Sarah! They also provide food and the food is delicious! We are so glad to have found this hidden gem in Fallbrook. You would never know it was there! If you are looking for a venue I absolutely recommend Grand Tradition. They made our wedding run so smoothly and kept us informed throughout the planning process as well as on the day of the wedding. Thank you so much to all the staff that helped bring together the most magical day we could ever imagine! We wouldn't change a thing.
I knew from the start of my venue shopping that I wanted lots of greenery and a waterfall.... Came across Arbor Terrace at the Grand Tradition and bookmarked it. When it was time to go venue shopping I promised myself to only visit my top choices so I'm not wasting my time or get overwhelmed with too many choices. My VERY FIRST VISIT I wanted it to be my top 1.. and I chose to visit Grand Tradition first. ** It's true, WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW! **That first visit was absolutely spectacular, the videos and pictures do not do it justice. It's breathtaking in person and the little details the staff does to maintain this beautiful property shows throughout the entire venue. Elle was my point of my contact when arriving and she was so friendly. After leaving the venue we visited all the Temecula winery venues but everyone knew my heart was already SET after that first visit. All the other venues just didn't have that uniqueness I wanted! There was no wow factor like GT gave us. So this was actually the first wedding planning decision we made and it was by far the easiest and best decision! We booked the day after HAH! Mikayla ended up being my assigned coordinator and let me just say, the fact the venue comes with a coordinator was the cherry on top of my YES when I booked this venue. BRIDES GET A COORDINATOR! Mikayla was the most positive, friendly, approachable coordinator to have during a stressful time for us brides. (She's always smiling no matter how busy she was with her B2B weddings) There are sooooo many details to a wedding and she was so sweet and thoughtful to remind me of everything as the day came closer. Their way of gathering details and planning is so organized it made the process feel so easy. I never felt like I was bothering her because she was always making herself available for us. Even when I was having a weird feeling about a vendor flaking Mikayla took it upon herself to call and verify for me!! :') The staff on the wedding day made everything run so smoothly. Kristin was also very patient and great communicator in reminding us when payments were coming up as it does come up quickly! Nicole was awesome during our rehearsal helping all of us understand the flow of the ceremony. My bride assistant Adriana was the sweetest always keeping me calm up til I started walking down the aisle and all the way to my grand exit. Their vendor recommendations I went with almost all of them and they were perfect! (finishing touch, Briarmist cakes, etc) Menu tasting event was so fun meeting other couples and being at the venue. The food and drinks were so tasty. My family and friends would not stop raving about the entire venue and the professional staff!! We were blown away how much it exceeded our expectations. Cannot recommend this place enough for future brides. Pricing is definitely affordable and on top of that the venue speaks for itself! Thought I booked too fast when I decided to submit my hold the day after my venue visit.. but nope I knew 1000% this was it! And absolutely no regrets! Only thing i wish I could change is the venue curfew of 10pm would've loved to stay until midnight. And wish the city provided better hotels nearby but our families decided to stay at Pechanga since it was 25mins away. But those are just little things that I still would not have switched my venue experience for anywhere else! The professional and super friendly staff, the organized outline and layout for your big day, the upkeep and maintenance of such a gorgeous venue, made this the easiest decision we made! Thank you MIKAYLA*, Grand Tradition + Staff for a lifetime of memories of the best day ever!!!!

Grand Tradition is the best wedding venue you could ever have!
Me and my husband LOVED this venue and we especially loved our wedding coordinator Lisa. She was so nice, very helpful and our whole wedding just went sooo smoothly because of her. The pictures of this venue don’t do it justice, you have to just go there in person and see for yourself. After your first visit you’ll already know this would be the best venue for you. We were so lucky to have the opportunity to have our wedding here at the Grand Tradition.

Above & Beyond Service
The whole venue was gorgeous both Beverly Mansion & Arbor Terrace sites were incredibly beautiful. The lush garden scenery everywhere captivated everyone who attended our wedding. Photos of the landscape didnt even need to be edited! Not only were the grounds well maintained the staff and especially the coordinators who worked with us directly were in constant contact with us and made sure our needs were met down to every detail. You can tell they are well trained and experienced. Everything was taken care of and I am quite impressed with everything they offered. The bridal and groom suites were elaborately decorated, well equipped and extremely accommodating! They offered champagne and trays of delicious snacks for the bridal parties in the suites. It was all a very fabulous & memorable experience!

Absolutely beautiful and amazing venue!
First of all not only was this venue absolutely beautiful (everyone at my wedding was talking about it) but also the staff here are extraordinary! they go above and beyond for their couples, and handle every little detail and thing that will go wrong. My wedding coordinator Mikayla was amazing, I could not have asked for a better one, she was so detailed with every aspect of helping us plan, and she was there for me every step of the rehearsal and day of answering questions and making sure everything went off without a hitch! My vision of my dream wedding came to life at this venue, and I could not have asked for a better venue or better staff! thank you grand tradition!

10 star experience
YOU WILL NOT REGRET HAVING YOUR WEDDING HERE.
The venue was so beautiful and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Although we had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID, they were willing move our dates with NO FEES and made sure we were able to have our dream wedding.
LISA WAS AWESOME. Our wedding coordinator at the Grand Traditions went above and beyond to make sure everything went according to plan and she nailed it.
Thank you!

Impeccable venue and customer service!
We cannot praise Grand Tradition enough for making our wedding absolutely perfect, especially considering we had so many things stacked against us. From the beginning, we fell in love with the gorgeous gardens and the indoor tented reception space. It was the first venue we explored, and we knew right away that it was meant to be (but as good wedding shoppers we still went around and looked at other ones just to be sure). There were several reasons Grand Tradition stood out for us: 1) it is a genuinely beautiful venue, meaning that you really don't need to have too many decorations/floral pieces, which means huge savings. 2) they come with their own coordinator, which means you don't have to worry about your coordinator not understanding the flow or intricacies of the venue and you know it will run smoothly. 3) they have over 30 years in business, which especially since COVID, was extremely important for us as several vendors have closed/are unstable and we wanted to ensure we had reputable and strong vendors working with us. And this 3rd point came into play multiple times as our original coordinator assigned by Grand Tradition (who was amazing) moved out of state a month before our wedding. However you never would have known it because Grand Tradition was very quick to notify us and assigned another coordinator who immediately communicated with us to ensure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. And despite our best efforts, we had several last minute guest drop-outs due to Omnicron and then several more guests (including children even though this was an adult-only event) showed up at the wedding unannounced. What is normally a nightmare situation for any wedding turned out so smooth-- Molly, our amazing stand-in coordinator handled the last minute guest changes with grace and extreme efficiency. I kept bracing myself for multiple questions from our coordinator as to where we would want these last-minute guests placed but nope, she just took care of business! We received so many compliments from our guests for how beautiful the venue was, how efficient the entire wedding was, how delicious the food was (which was very important to us), and how well the staff took care of us. We were extremely pleased with Grand Tradition and would absolutely refer them to anyone looking for a beautiful, smoothly run wedding. They are truly passionate about what they do and it shows in every aspect of their work. And because I was looking for this information when I was looking at venues-- our wedding was in January and there were high wind advisories (75mph) in SD county the day of, but we did not get any wind at all. The weather was a very beautiful, sunny 68 degrees in the daytime, which dropped to about 55 degrees at nighttime. Arbor Terrace had several heaters and I felt totally comfortable running around in a very skimpy dress even though I normally get cold very easily. (Also protip: GET THE ICE CREAM BAR ADD-ON. Literally everyone was in love with it, it didn't matter that it was in January, people were going back for third and fourth servings!)

Amazing Venue!!!
The Grand Traditions, Arbor Terrace is a stunning waterfall backdrop venue that feels like you are in Hawaii. From beginning to end the Grand Traditions staff were professional and focused on creating your ideal wedding. You truly cannot go wrong with this location. Their preferred vendors are all top notch and the food from GT was exquisite. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Tropical Oasis
I had my wedding at the Arbor Terrace at The Grand Tradition and it was everything I dreamed of and more. From the gorgeous tropical foliage, to the decadent food, to the professional and courteous staff - no detail is overlooked. The feedback I got from my guests also reflected this. They could not stop gushing about how perfect the wedding was. I couldn't recommend The Grand Tradition enough!

Absolutely Amazing! 💕
Grand Tradition was the absolute best wedding venue! The very first time I stepped on the property I fell in love! All of the staff is very nice and accommodating! They were patient with all of my questions and answered thoroughly. There are two sides to pick from, Arbor Terrace or the Mansion. Originally I wanted a beach venue, but the Arbor Terrace is a tropical dream! I felt like I was in Hawaii! The venue provides a coordinator to help navigate the crazy and make your vision come to life! I was assigned to Lisa. While I am sure they are all great and maybe I have some bias, but she gets 5/5 stars in every category! She is prompt in replying with emails, walks you through timelines/vendors/song choices/etc., she made my crazy living champagne wall become a reality and she just did everything! Unfortunately my cake was not delivered on my wedding day. She came up with quick solutions and because she had caught they had the wrong date and emailed the bakery, we can now get a full refund! Thank you!!! They have so many staff on the wedding day. We did a lot of DIY projects. On the day of the rehearsal, we dropped off all of our decor and the staff set everything up to perfection! They have a bridal assistant that literally follow the bride and groom making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day! She knew how to bustle my dress and helped my photographer with pictures. She was also so calm and pleasant! At the end of the night, the staff packed up and loaded all of our decor in our truck. My family just got to enjoy the day! I have been to countless weddings, usually the food is ehhh… but the food at Grand Tradition is so good! That was one of the first things my family talked about, the great food and how beautiful the venue looked. I am so grateful I got such an amazing venue! This venue is top notch and will be everything you have ever dreamed of having for your wedding!

Best day of our lives
We found Grand Traditions on our wedding venue search at the end of 2019 and immediately fell in love with Arbor Terrace. Then like so many couples who had 2020 set as their wedding date- things changed and we decided to postpone a year. Grand Tradition made the transition so easy (especially after hearing many others horror stories.) Through our journey with the venue we worked with Amanda, Charnel and then Mikayla for our big day. Everyone was wonderful and Mikayla creating a day that felt so seamless and stress free for us.
A few of favorite things about the venue:
-The seclusion- you step into a tropical garden that feels like a destination wedding outside of San Diego area- our guests were in awe!
-The ease of planning- Grand Tradition has weddings down to a science but leaves room for customization. Planning a wedding by myself was daunting but made so much easier when so many of the details were already included in the wedding packages including the delicious food!
-The people- From our initial tour to the planning to the day of- our experience was top notch and our guests would say the same. Every one was so kind and Mikayla was especially patient with all of my emails and random changes!
The worst part of our wedding is that we couldn’t make the day last forever!

5 stars of perfection
5 STARS. To Grand Tradition and our incredible coordinator, Mikayla: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. This venue and its incredible A team of sales staff, coordinators, chefs, servers, and more captured our wedding reception celebration to perfection. They were not only incredibly professional, responsive, and creative - they felt like part of our wedding party! We had perfect weather for our wedding reception and even a little rain, which the staff was so kind to provide us and our guests umbrellas and golf cart transportation.
My husband and I wanted a unique venue and when we toured Grand Tradition in 2019, we knew this estate was the one for us. We chose the Beverly Mansion and Orchid Bar, all of which were beautiful and unique. The guests could not stop raving about how unique the venue was!
Please book Grand Tradition - they worked with us, they were flexible, they were understanding, and they KNOW what they are doing.
We cannot wait to visit Grand Tradition again, whether it’s for brunch, to walk the grounds on our anniversary, or another event :)

Stress Relief
My wife and I got engaged in April 2020 (pandemic era). We did not physically visit any venues, but we did 'virtual' tours, browsed photos, read reviews, and did our homework. We originally wanted a tropical destination wedding, but traveling was limited during this time. The Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens was the perfect venue for my wife and me. We had the tropical feeling, peaceful atmosphere, and the luxurious look we wanted. We met with our Wedding Coordinator, Sarah Fox, who was excited for our big day as much as we were. Sarah was professional, easy to communicate with, timely, respectful, and accommodating. Sarah took a load of stress of my wife & my backs which made our wedding day even more relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend researching EVERY detail before you throw your high-priced dollar bills at something you may regret on your wedding date. I highly recommend Grand Tradition and their wonderful team, especially Sarah Fox. Thank you!

Best venue
I got married this October at Grand Tradition Estate. This is honestly the most beautiful venue I've ever seen. Everything went perfect, it will be a day we will never forget. The food tasting was probably my favorite part of the planning process. The food was delicious and I loved that there was variety.
Amanda was such an amazing coordinator. Amanda and her team were really professional and provided us with the best service, they went above and beyond. I had a bridal assistant who was right by my side in case I ever needed anything.
Amanda kept everything and everyone within the planned timeline. She was really attentive and made sure our wedding party and my guests were taken care of.
Thanks to her I was calm and was able to enjoy the entire day. She was there with us from the beginning of our wedding planning to the very last moments.
We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator; we were so grateful for her help.
My wedding felt like a dream, I am so glad I found this hidden gem.

Hello Stephanie,

Unforgettable
Made my wedding unforgettable. My wedding day ran so smoothly due to my coordinator (Sarah) and bridal assistant. I planned the wedding with my coordinator Sarah, she had great ideas and even called all my vendors 10 days before the wedding to ensure things went smoothly. We meet about 3-4 times. I planned my wedding from Florida and Sarah helped a lot since I was far away. During the event the service and food was raved about by the guest. They especially loved the meat and chocolate fountain. The best thing about grand tradition is that you don't need signs to direct people because there is butler's who assist with every transition. The Bridal assistant is awesome, she delivered food to my sweetheart table and cleaned my dress when I spilled red sauce on it. I would chose Grand Tradition 100 times over for a wedding. You will not be disappointed.
Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens's reply:
Hello Kaitlyn and Mat,

Best Wishes,
Grand Tradition

Get married here!
We got married at the Grand Tradition on June 6th, 2019. Ever since I first walked the grounds I have been completely in love with this venue! They take such good care of the property and it provides a truly unique scene for your big day. Everything was amazing from the food, to the staff, to the scenery! We were truly blessed to have our wedding here. Amanda Cox was our coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL! Amanda really helped us bring our vision to life. She was so patient throughout the wedding planning process and made sure all our needs were met. About a year into the planning process, we found out I was pregnant and Amanda was more than willing to help us have our gender reveal during our wedding day. She even gave us some brilliant ideas for the gender reveal. Amanda always greeted us with a smile and treated our little pup like family too :-) To say I was impressed with Amanda the day of our wedding is an understatement. She truly went above and beyond to create a once in a lifetime experience for us! She made sure we stayed on track with our time in order to do all the things we wanted to the day of. She also made sure the bride and groom got to eat (thank you so much for that!) and ensured that I had plenty of apple cider throughout the day since I couldn't drink :-) Overall, we had a wonderful experience and we do not regret booking at the Grand Traditions one bit!!

LOVE this venue
I am so glad we chose Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens as our wedding venue! We got married at Arbor Terrace on 3/30/19 and it was absolutely stunning! Alyssa was our wedding planner and I cannot say enough great things about her! I kept saying throughout the whole wedding planning process that I didn't know what I would do without Alyssa! Grand Tradition was 100% worth the money. They structure everything throughout the wedding planning process to make it as painless and seamless and possible for the bride and groom. They took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day! My guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Shout out to Kevin as well! He was the one who gave us our tour before booking and he was amazing! My dad can be a difficulty person and he handled him with humor and ease - my dad was skeptical before the tour and then completely on board after the tour! Thank you Grand Tradition for making our special day perfect!

Beautiful venue
Grand tradition is such a beautiful venue. The moment my fiancé and I walked into the gardens we instantly knew this was the location we wanted to get married. We are getting married in 5 months and are looking forward for all of our guest to see it. Our coordinator Amanda is great, she has been helping us stay organized and calm during this whole planning process. I would highly recommend this venue. I will do a follow up review after the wedding ❤️

Our dream wedding!!
Grand Tradition is truly a hidden gem. From start to finish... our experience here was great - meetings with our coordinator, menu tasting, and just visiting the venue to prepare for our big day. My husband and I got married in the Arbor Terrace in March and it was absolutely perfect! So many of our guests complimented how beautiful the venue was and were pleasantly surprised by all the scenery and waterfalls. It felt like a destination wedding in our own city :) Our wedding day went so smoothly and stress-free thanks to all the work the staff and our coordinators did. I recommend Grand Tradition 100%! Our dream wedding became a reality here!

Flawless Venue
My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens. From our first visit all the way to our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Any questions we had, they were readily available to answer. Any concerns we had, they helped keep us calm, cool & collective. We absolutely recommend Grand Tradition, they helped make our dream wedding a reality.

Grand Tradition Arbor Terrace Wedding
We were married at Grand Tradition Arbor Terrace on 2/15/2019 and we could not be happier with our venue selection!!! We toured several beautiful venues in northern San Diego county but once we toured GT I was totally sold. The venue is a total hidden gem, driving to the venue you would never imagine there would be such a beautiful tropical style garden in the area.
Elle gave us our tour and she was so sweet and helpful, she answered all of my questions not only the day of the tour but the weeks following. Once we booked with GT we were introduced to our day of coordinator, Charnel. I am sure all of the coordinators are great, but Charnel was simply the best! She is sweet, ORGANIZED, helpful and so very patient with us! I asked about a million questions leading up to the wedding and I know I asked the same questions repeatedly, she was quick to respond and always happy to answer my questions.
Our rehearsal was on Valentines day, which just so happened to be one of the worst storms in the San Diego area in quite some time. Roads were flooding, the wind was knocking trees over....stressful to say the least. Charnel was so on top of it, we had to of course re-arrange the rehearsal set-up and move it under the reception tent. Even though we rehearsed in a different area, Charnel walked us through exactly how it would be the next day (assuming we had clear weather which we did) So there was no confusion the day of the wedding.
Charnel kept everyone & everything running smoothly the day of the wedding, I am truly grateful to have had her as our coordinator, my husband and I just adore her.
As for the wedding experience for us and our guests....it was incredible. Everyone has been gushing about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Everything about our day was perfect and we cannot recommend Grand Traditions enough. They will make the wedding planning process smooth and remove a ton of stress as well as provide a gorgeous venue that your friends and family will love!

Beautifully Landscaped & Superb Staff
Choosing Grand Tradition Estate was one of the best decisions we made. We were not only blown away by the beautifully landscaped grounds, but the staff and coordinators are and true professionals. There are a thousand things to worry about when planning a wedding, but having a venue that's transparent with pricing, and having an incredible staff to support you throughout the process and on the big day, is worth every penny. They've got weddings down from easy to understand planning forms to providing final touches such as the cake stand, table numbers, ring bearer pillow, etc at no extra charge. The venue is a little remote with the area not having much and we were warned about the potential lack of Uber/Lyft driverrs, however, our guests were so impressed, it didn't sound like they had any problems driving with many coming 1.5-2 hrs away. There are many great Airbnb's in the area as well. Grand Tradition gave us a beautiful wedding and our guests thought we had spent something in the 6-digits, which was totally not the case, but we are so happy they even had that impression.
Our wedding was held at the Beverly Mansion with the ceremony at their newer Compass Garden site. It was awesome that we got the best of both worlds with the beautiful lake grounds, and then the intimate, lush tropical scenery and waterfall for the ceremony. We had 18 tables (150 guests) at the Crystal Ballroom, but everyone was comfortable, and not to mention the large dance floor too. The buffet option was great as our guests were able to go for seconds or thirds. The FOOD was a huge highlight to the experience as well. The salmon was moist and not fishy, and their prime rib was perfectly cooked as well. We got compliments on everything down to the salad and ravioli.
Alyssa, our coordinator, was a true MVP. She was beyond helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process and was our go-to on any wedding cultures or common traditions or trends we didn't know about. She totally had my back when I got too drunk too and made sure I was hydrated and had food in my stomach. What a sweetheart!!! She was a perfect communicator throughout the day and verified the details that were in our plan as they came up in case we were feeling any changes or if guests said otherwise. Lisa was another coordinator that helped us in times when Alyssa wasn't available and we were lucky to have her as additional support. We were in a panic and didn’t have bobby pins or hair spray and Lisa got us some super quickly. Lastly, Cameron our bridal assistant was so sweet and helpful and even thought to give me napkins to hide in my bouquet in case I started to ugly cry during the ceremony. Sad it's all over, but so glad Grand Tradition's garden and restaurant are open to the public for us to come visit for years to come.

Arbor terrace!
The best choice I made! I had a difficult time deciding on if I was going to choose the Grand Tradition or a winery in Temecula. Let me say how GRATEFUL I am that I went with the Grand Tradition! The day went perfect thanks to each employee. All of the guests continually came up to us saying how it was such a gorgeous wedding and how accommodating the employees were. Let me say, the venue is GORGEOUS! You honestly could not pick a better one. Best day of my life!

The perfect venue! Many guests said the wedding at The Beverly Mansion/Gazeebo in The Grand Tradition Estate felt like a wedding at Disneyland! The staff is friendly, the food truly amazing, and the venue breathtaking. Great variety in photo locations, and the groom’s suite and bridal suite to prep and get ready are spacious and fun!

The absolute best venue. Better than we ever imagined. The coordinating, the decor, the helpfulness, the food, the overall property 100% the most amazing venue I've ever been too and felt so lucky it was our special venue. WE LOVED IT.

We were a little nervous to book this venue after reading some yelp reviews, however I have to say the yelp reviews were wrong. The reviews had a few complaints about the coordinators the venue provides. We had zero issues with our coordinator. In fact our day would not have run as smoothly without her. she is very responsive and easy to get a hold of. I think I emailed her at least 3 times a day and got a quick response each time. We were even able to speak with the owner of the venue. He's very personable as well. The food was amazing! The venue is beautiful. Our guests loved everything about the venue.

While this was the most expensive of our options for wedding venue it was worth every penny. We cannot say enough positive things about the Grand Tradition Family and particularly Charnel. We had to coordinate our wedding from different states being that we are both active duty military and she went out of her way to ensure that we could do that on the dates we visited California. Charnel was so positive, upbeat, and easy to work with. She was very efficient in doing the job and got back to all our emails, phone calls, and questions in a timely manner. The day of the wedding was immaculate. Even though it was one of the hotter days of the year the Grand Tradition Family made the facilities as comfortable as possible for us and our guests. The grounds are beautiful and the food was beyond delicious. All our guests commented on how this was one of the best weddings they'd been to. We would definitely recommend this venue to others and particularly Charnel as the coordinator. Also, we used most of the vendors the estate recommended and they were beyond wonderful.

Charnel Kennedy and her team (Alexis and Cameron and others) did an absolutely amazing job with coordinating my wedding. I would not have met Charnel if it wasn't for Elle, who showed us the venue. The entire staff did an incredible job and it was wonderful to know that Charnel was there to assist me the entire way. I had an unusally stressful time as 24 hours before my wedding my best friend these past two years became upset that my daughter who is in the Army flew home from South Korea on a 19 hour flight that cost her over $1400 for 3 days in Cali, as I wanted her to be my Maid of Honor (we had discussed this previously that if this were to happen she would step aside). Unfortunately she could not and it literally ruined our friendship. The reason for this amount of detail is I want everyone to know how amazing Charnel and her team were with handling a heart broken, stressed to the max, and tearful bride. I would not have made it through the day if it were not for Charnel, Alexis, and Cameron. I am truly grateful.
The food was amazing, the venue is simply gorgeous and the professionalism of the staff can not be beat. I highly recommend this venue and the wonderful ladies and gentleman who helped make a day that was suppose to be full of love and bliss yet was surrounded by heartbreak.... truly amazing for me. Thank you!! - Jessica

Man oh Man... I don’t even know where to begin! We just got married on May 26th at Grand Tradition and I can not express the JOY and EXCITEMENT I had throughout this whole experience. My 1st venue choice fell thru due the owner not being able to accommodate my needs, and THANK GOD for that situation falling thru. I was able to have the wedding of my DREAMS at Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens! From the moment we stepped foot in the venue, I was in LOVE! I initially was going to have my wedding in the mansion, however after seeing Arbor Terrace, I was sold! The staff was more than accommodating and understanding with all my visions. The way they communicate with you throughout the planning process is so personal. From the bridal faire, to the food tasting, Every little detail made everything so memorable!! The day of my wedding was so organized and on point! If there was ANY issues, I knew nothing about it! I was truly impressed! I wasn’t rushed at all! The fact that everything is done in a timeline form, lets you know exactly what should be happening and when. I wish I could do it allllll over again. Alyssa stayed in close contact with all my vendors making sure no balls were dropped! Matter of fact, if it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have had a wedding cake that day. Lol. My baker called me saying that she just received a call from Alyssa confirming my cake delivery and she had my date on the 27th, rather than the 26th (although we definitely confirmed my date during each meeting). Everything was confirmed and my cake was delivered right on time....thank you Alyssa ! With me designing and planning my WHOLE wedding myself, from the decor, to the music, to the guest dress code, Alyssa, my coordinator went over and beyond to make sure my wedding day was exactly how I envisioned it being! My wedding will be the stepping stone to begin my business and Alyssa made sure all my decor was placed in the correct spots! She made sure all the guests were comfortable.

From the moment we toured Grand Tradition Estate, we were in love! We were scheduled for a tour but unfortunately lost our pet sitter for the day so our little dog had to travel with us. Don was super accommodating and allowed our fur baby to ride along with us. We were sold and couldn't be happier with our choice. We booked Arbor Terrace and it was amazing. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and how it took you away from the world and into a lush, tropical paradise. In addition to the beauty of the venue, the staff is amazing. Alyssa, our coordinator, made sure that our day ran smoothly from beginning to end; she was awesome! We can't say enough good things about this venue; we had such a positive experience. If you want a beautiful venue with wonderful staff (and who doesn't), book Grand Tradition!

AMAZING!!! FABULOUS!!! OUTSTANDING!!!
I got married at the Arbor Terrace which is the tropical venue. My experience was top-notch from the very first visit. My mom and I went to the venue and booked that same visit. It was the first venue I visited. It was definitely on the higher end of our budget but with everything they offered and the tropical venue, it was the perfect venue for my husband and I.
Kalani B. was our coordinator and was there for me through the entire planning process and even more so at the wedding. She was there for myself, my party, and my parents the entire wedding!
The staff handled everything at the wedding. They all have head sets and if you need anything, they make it happen. You also have a bridal assistant who helps you with EVERYTHING!
The food was amazing! I got fantastic reviews from my hard to please guests!
We keep talking about how smooth everything went and that has a lot to do with the help from the venue

Grand Tradition was incredible! The location is truly beautiful, both ceremony locations are wonderful, though we are very glad we went for the gazebo by the lake since we could do the horse and carriage grand entrance, which was stunning and unforgettable. The only thing better than the location with the gorgeous gardens and mansion was the friendly and professional staff. Lindsey was so helpful every step of the way, from our first meeting to some last-minute changes. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they made our special day absolutely fantastic!

We absolutely LOVE the Grand Tradition. Our day coordinator, Alyssa is heaven sent! She made our lives easier and was so attentive to us the day of and the days leading up to the wedding. The entire staff the night of the reception was absolutely phenomenal! We could have not asked for greater service! This venue is a hidden gem. We lucked out finding this venue and our wedding day could have not gone any more perfect! Thank you so much to the entire staff and crew. We love you and we LOVE the Grand Tradition. It seriously was the wedding of our dreams ... worth EVERY single penny!!!

Our wedding at Grand Tradition Estate was absolutely perfect! We had Kelsey as our site coordinator and she was simply amazing and so accommodating. Even though we know she deals with several clients she was so good at making us feel special! It was so nice to know we had nothing to worry about and that everything would go off without a hitch. The organization of the wedding team here is awesome. My husband and I knew as soon as we toured the estate that this was where we wanted to get married and I am so happy that the estate did not disappoint. The only thing I was a little bummed about was that I had asked for extra cranberry cheese on my cheese plate in the bridal suite but my husband got the extra cheese instead.

I honestly don't know where to begin. I have so many nice things to say about the estate and the staff! I had my eye on this venue for my wedding for over 5 years. I've watched it change slightly, improve with each renovation, and the prices increase (LOL). When it was time to finally book the venue, I promised my parents that I would look at other places because of the cost of GT. Granted, I have expensive taste and there were only 2 other venues that SLIGHTLY compared to GT's beauty, and they weren't that much cheaper. I figured GT is worth every extra penny than the other venues and, after my parent's acceptance, booked GT 14 months in advance! My first coordinator was Amanda who was very friendly and energetic. She learned about my wedding quickly although it's not typical to meet them so soon. About half-way in they changed my coordinator from Amanda to Alyssa. I was very skeptical since I had built a friendship with Amanda and requested to have a manager on the sidelines while I transitioned to Alyssa (which they accommodated) SHE. WAS. AMAZING! (Carrie - you're amazing too!) I felt as if I was her only bride - she remembered not only wedding details but personal details about myself that I had mentioned. She knew my wedding details as if they were her own and always greeted me with a smile. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic! Every meeting with her was like meeting with a friend- she made me feel welcome and at home. She helped me fight for a few very unique requests that, without her persistence, I'm sure would have been declined by management. I've worked with a few coordinators at friend's weddings at other venues and I can honestly say she's the best I've met and I'm extremely thankful for her. The rest of the staff was always very welcoming, complimentary, and treated me like a Queen.

My husband and I got married on January 20th 2017 at Grand Tradition - Arbor Terrace. Grand Tradition Estate was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and speak for themselves as soon as you walk onto the estate, but honestly its the staff we were in contact with that truly made our year of planning nothing short of amazing! Grand Tradition’s staff were a vital piece to our wedding day being stress free so we could just focus on the important things of the day, like getting married to your best friend! :) The professionalism and attention to detail is what sets Grand Tradition apart from all the other venues in the area and we consider ourselves lucky to have had them! From the first interaction we had with Carrie for our venue tour, to our last planning meeting with our incredible coordinator Kelsey, all the way to the wedding day itself where every single staff member was willing and ready to lend a helping hand, our wedding day turned out perfect!
Kelsey was our wedding coordinator, and we could not feel more blessed for everything she did for us every step of the way! We couldn’t possibly put into words how much we appreciate her doing everything in her control to make our wedding day a dream, and a dream it was. She was always so kind, warm, and welcoming. Her professionalism exceeded all expectations and she is so organized and detail oriented that we didn’t have to be! :) We constantly said throughout the process “Kelsey we have no idea what we would do without you.” She was a key piece in making our fairytale wedding come true and we can’t thank her enough.
Grand Tradition is not just a venue to us, it is now a piece of our lives and hearts forever. THANK YOU Grand Tradition for the best memories! We will see you again for our 10 year! :)

My husband and I just got married at the Arbor Terrace in December. Our venue was our favorite vendor selection out of our entire wedding! In fact, GT was the first venue we toured - and we followed up by touring twenty others (to do our due diligence). We were thrilled to come back and book this venue after our search - it was truly unmatched in beauty, value and service! Throughout the entire process, Katie and Kelsey were a dream team. I was "that bride" - with a million questions, and a million "what ifs". They always answered me promptly, thoroughly and were happy to accommodate everything I threw at them! From creating my signature cocktail to setting up extra appointments just so we could practice our first dance on-site - everyone was so flexible, and paid so much attention to detail, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding team! Their banquet staff, receptionists, parking attendants - and awesome sound technician - everyone deserves a shout out!! (just as one example of their dedicated service, our coordinator Kelsey spent 30+ minutes picking out the exact shades we could turn the LED at different parts of the reception - and that's just the tip of the iceberg)
We had provided GT with 20+ boxes of various decorations; everything was set up perfectly. I honestly couldn't imagine anyone else having this level of perfection without hiring a professional decorator! On our actual wedding day, we never had to worry about a thing! Our party got there a tad late (it happens), and Kesley & team were able to adjust the schedule, and juggled all the moving pieces - so that we didn't even have to think about it. And on top of all her coordinator duties, Kelsey came up to us every 10 minutes to check in (and bring us a drink)!!! And, of course, the grounds are just gorgeous - all of our guests were blown away by how scenic all of the sites looked - and everyone was raving about the food. We just couldn't recommend GT enough!!

We had our wedding at Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens on October 29, 2016 and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous! The service is excellent! Also, everyone at our wedding raved about how delicious the food was! It really is an excellent venue, because you can have both the ceremony and the reception all at one place. The customer service at the venue is excellent! Carrie and Kelsey really excel at their jobs! They were both so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Last, but not least, Grand Tradition has a program called the Ring Corps where you can go visit on your anniversary month every year and get a free meal on them! We are really looking forward to making that our routine every year to celebrate our anniversaries! Overall, it is a phenomenal venue and I knew it before I even went to see it!

I had my wedding in the arbor terrace 12-20-2015. Of
Course it was magical for me. But the feedback from my guests has been amazing also. Best food. Best venue. Best service. Best everything across the board. Nothing went wrong. I love that it's family owned and operated and it's just so beautiful and worth every penny spent. I wish I could get married there 100 more times!! (To the same boy of course!)

We absolutely love this venue. It is super beautiful and the staff are very nice and professional. We don't live in the area so the staff members always try to accommodate us. They gave us a lot of advises and detailed information about what will happen on our wedding day. They worked hard to make sure everything goes smoothly on our big day. The guests loved the view, loved the food, loved the ambience and of course the bar! Thank you for making our special extra memorable. All the best to all couples out there :)

Of all the recommended wedding venue, Grand Tradition was on the top of our list. It was the first and the only place we went and that was it. It was an important good choice because the place was beautiful, the ceremony by the waterfalls at Compass Garden and the reception at the Beverly Mansion. Oh we have beautiful pictures! And the food was delicious too! Amanda our wedding coordinator was the sweetest. We would not have a well organized and successful wedding had it not because of Amanda and the staff of Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens. It was an unforgettable and the most beautiful moment in our life as a couple. We had so much fun at that place! Thank you Amanda and everyone at Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens!

First of all, I have to apologize to Grand Tradition for not reviewing them earlier because they could not have made our wedding any more perfect last August, 2, 2015!! Every friend has shared the "what went wrong" wedding day story. But NOTHING went wrong at our wedding! My husband and I had an amazing time and were able to enjoy what we envisioned our wedding would be. We were never interrupted from the celebration to be bothered with any logistics! They treated us like royalty! All of our guests had a great time and had nothing but compliments to share about the breathtaking beauty of the Arbor Terrace and the service they received! The entire team at Grand Tradition is extremely professional, caring and friendly. Carrie Fuller, the sales manager, helped us with our wedding package. She is extremely professional, flexible, responsive and friendly!! She never pushed us toward any package, just shared the beauty of Grand Tradition and what they could do the make our day special! After we toured the estate for the first time, we were treated to a delicious brunch at their cafe! Ashley Speakman, our wedding coordinator was amazing! She did an incredible job running the show! I can't rave about her enough! From taking care of all details with our vendors, keeping us on track of our open items, to the final touches on the big day! And my bridal assistant MaKayla, was on top of all my needs! she went above and beyond to help me, from helping with my dress, and helping my bridesmaids to making me a last minute garter b/c we decided to add that at the very last minute! she went out of her way to make me one!! I wanted to give her the biggest hug! And if I knew the names of the entire staff, I'd list them all because it truly was a beautiful experience thanks to the entire team! Thank you Grand Tradition!!!

Grand Tradition Estate was our top choice when picking our dream wedding venue. The place is really just as gorgeous in person as it is in pictures, even when it rained when we first toured the venue. Everything from the tour to the emails to our coordinator and the food tasting was professional and well organized. My husband had friends and family from San Diego while mine were from Los Angeles. This was the perfect median for both of our loved ones to travel. Even though it was a long drive my guests all thought it was worth it. They all enjoyed our wedding and said it was the most beautiful and most well organized venue they ever attended. The food was excellent too! Our day was perfect and it was the best biggest decision we made as a couple.

We got married here last week and it was a dream come true. Ashley was our coordinator and was so attentive, nice, energetic and accommodating. We got married at the Beverly mansion and would not change a thing. Everything was super organized. I even had two helpers helping me throughout the night with my train, bouquet, water, anything I needed there were there to help me. This venue created my dream wedding and I'm so happy we chose this one! Good job you guys!

I don't know how well I can put into words the help that I received from my wedding planner Carrie at the grand tradition. She made me feel like family and helped me through every step of the wedding process so that I never became stressed. She was there on the day of the wedding and my husband was so glad to finally meet her because he had been stationed overseas and wasn't able to be a part of the wedding planning. Grand tradition estate was more than worth the money and I wouldn't change using them as my vendor even if I had endless amounts of money.

Absolutely a great experience from start to finish. This is the venue to use for stress free wedding planning - they have it down to a science. The venues are both beautiful, but we went for Beverly Mansion because of the time of year (January - cold for Californians). The wedding was held by the lake toward sunset, we did the horse drawn carriage which was a big hit, the cocktail hour was at the Orchid Bar which was by all accounts beautiful, and the reception was flawlessly run. We had our rehearsal dinner at Beverly Mansion as well and on both occasions the food and service was excellent. I am most fortunate to have found this vendor and am still on a high from how well everything turned out. I can't have asked for a better wedding!

The Grand Tradition is AMAZING!!! It is beautiful and has the most wonderful staff that made everything at our wedding perfect. When my mom and I first toured The Grand Tradition, it was so impressive that we thought it would for sure be out of our price range. But surprisingly, it was very reasonable for everything that is included. The staff at The Grand Tradition knows exactly what they are doing and makes sure to have the entire day run smoothly. A coordinator is included and I can't say enough great things about Katie - she was awesome! I didn't have to worry about anything on my special day because I know Katie had it taken care of. The Grand Tradition is so accommodating and went out of their way to meet my needs. The bridal suite is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, and it was the PERFECT place to get married. I highly recommend The Grand Tradition Estate!

Everything about the Grand Tradition Estate is perfect! From the moment we arrived for our initial tour, I was blown away. Everything about this venue is absolutely gorgeous! The staff is so professional and friendly. With Josh being in the military, rescheduling was a definite possibility. The Grand Tradition was very understanding and helpful with our scheduling issues. Our coordinator, Katie, was such a delight to work with. She was very organized, prompt, and professional. She was so helpful with getting everything ready for our big day as well as making our wedding day stress free and fun! all of our guests had a great time and kept commenting on how gorgeous everything is! We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have as perfect a wedding as ours.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Grand Tradition Estate last weekend, and everything was absolutely amazing! From the minute we walked in, we knew that we wanted to use it for our wedding. We had our ceremony and reception at the Arbor Terrace portion of the estate, which is a gorgeous garden filled with tropical flowers, bridges, and waterfalls. The reception is held in a covered (but open to the outdoors) site adjacent to a fireplace and waterfall. Everything at the venue was absolutely beautiful! And beyond that, the service was above and beyond anything we could have expected. Every time we were there, from the bridal fair to the food tasting to the wedding itself, every last detail was taken care of to perfection. Every staff member that we met went out of their way to make sure we were being taken care of and that we were happy with everything. It is a full service venue, so they take care of everything for you, including set up, clean up, catering, bar, sound system, linens and lighting, etc. It was so nice not to have to stress about the details of the day and to just enjoy spending time with our guests. We had Amanda as our day of coordinator, and she was AWESOME! She was always on top of things when I emailed her with questions, and the day of the ceremony kept everything running smoothly. She even handled a problem we had with our tuxes (the store had given all the groomsmen the wrong color vests and ties), and they ended up wearing black ties that the waiters at the venue wear. All in all, we had an amazing day and couldn't have asked for anything more from a venue. A bunch of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Can't wait to visit for our anniversary lunch!

Ashley and the Grand Tradition staff are absolutely the best in the business- do not have anything but amazing things to say about this venue. They KNOW what they are doing and will make sure your day is absolutely perfect. It was more than I ever could have imagined and so amazing to know you are in great hands that think of everything!!

My daughter's wedding was this last May and we had an amazing wedding experience with Grand Tradition in Fallbrook. The staff is so professional and thorough. Our coordinator, Ashley, was a vision of perfection. I could write a book on the wonderful advice and help she provided to both me and my daughter throughout the wedding planning process. All of us in Southern California are so very lucky to have a venue with the beauty and uniqueness of Grand Tradition in our area! It is a place to come back to, year after year, to see the staff again, enjoy the beauty of the venue gardens and to relish the food once again at their restaurant, open to the public.

We recently held our daughter's wedding/reception at the GTE and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is breathtaking, the food amazing and the service is absolutely five-star. We had to worry about NOTHING but simply enjoying every moment of this most important day. From the day we booked through until the last dance, our coordinator and her staff literally took care of everything. Would not use anyone else.

When we were searching for wedding venues, Grand Tradition (GT) was the first one we visited and we immediately fell in love with it. After months of researching and visiting venues all across Orange/LA/Riverside/San Diego counties, it became clear GT was the one.
They have many options to choose from: the elegant Beverly Mansion, or the tropical Arbor Terrace (which is what we chose). Their prices include the rent of the place (for a set amount of hours) and dinner. It can be plated or buffet style. There are a lot of add-ons you can choose from, depending on what you want; a variety of choices for different budgets and styles.
They take great care of the landscape and surroundings. There are many pictures online, but you need to schedule a visit to realize how beautiful the place is. They have a restaurant called “The Veranda” (delicious food and great service). It will give you an idea of how good the food will be at your wedding.
Our wedding was perfect! Their excellence reflects on everything they do and everyone working there is happy and helpful. They are very experienced and organized; if you follow their help/advice, your wedding will be just like you dreamed: no stress or worries, especially the day of.
100% recommend, and we can’t wait until we plan our next big celebration there!

Our wedding at the Grand Tradition was amazing! Everything from the food, the staff, and of course the beautiful scenery, to how smoothly the wedding went was seriously perfect. Ashley was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing as well! She made us feel so comfortable that everything would go smoothly on the day and during the while planning process - and it did. We had a few in person meetings to go over details, but she was always ready to answer my millions of questions on the phone and via email! i couldn't have asked for anyone better.
But really, I can't believe how smoothly everything went! I hadn't been to many weddings before so I didn't really know exactly what to expect, and I wasn't sure how everything would piece together on the day, but magically it did! The staff took care of everything, making sure that our vendors were all on time and in place, making sure that we had enough food and water, and they even managed to avoid my (now) husband and I from seeing each other before the ceremony even though our getting ready rooms were right next door to one another and we were outside taking pictures at very similar times. Everyone was amazing and I had the wedding of my dreams because of it! I'm not just saying that!
We had our wedding at the Beverly Mansion location which I LOVED because you get married in front of a gazebo and a beautiful lake! Also, they have an option to be brought in with a horse and carriage! I would highly recommend it!! It was like a fairytale! All of my guests told me everyone seriously gasped when they saw the horse and carriage coming. It was just that little bit of extra flare that made the day that much better :)
I think that's probably enough to convince you that the Grand Tradition is VERY good at putting on a wedding, but just to add a little bit more, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The grass is always green, the flowers are always in bloom, and the house always looks freshly painted.

I am beyond excited to have our wedding at the Grand Tradition - Arbor Terrace. I found the Grand Tradition doing searches and read wonderful reviews. I had also been there about 13 years ago for a high school dance, but didn't remember much except for the heart shaped lake. I am a very detail oriented bride, I went to my venues with spreadsheets of everything they included, and my estimated cost...I originally thought the Grand Tradition was out of my price- range and I was worried I would get my hopes up, but they can make it possible!
The GT was the 3rd venue we visited. I already had fallen in love with one, but the GT knocked it out of the park!! I took my finace and mom and we were greeted and got mimosa's and a golf cart tour of both sides of their venue. The whole time my mom kept saying she felt like she was in Disneyland. We felt like we were in an exotic island with all the tropical landscape. Don (the president, CEO) gave us our tour and was wonderful! We were in awe!! I cant even describe how perfect the Arbor Terrace is with all the plants and waterfalls, then the Orchid bar with the outdoor couches/furniture & firepits got us as well. We love the tented reception and you can really customize is it however you want. The GT includes so much and I really value their professionalism. Since we are getting married in a winter month on a Sunday- we were able to take $20 off a person! We set our date and couldn't wait to go back.
We went back for brunch last weekend to show my maid of honor and she loved it as well. We got a bride discount on our meal look forward to going back.
So far, I have communicated with my wedding coordinator a few times, and she is always super quick to respond and super helpful. We couldn't make one complaint (so far) about the GT and cant wait till our big day!

I will be getting married here in March of 2016 and I couldn't be happier! This location only does weddings and you can tell. The landscape is the most manicured landscape I've ever seen. That was the first thing I noticed. I didn't see a single dead leaf on the ground. They have 2 main ceremony locations. One is basically like disneyland, a little too Cinderella for me....almost too perfect. haha. The other location is where I will be getting married. It's basically a really manicured rainforest. The ceremony space overlooks a waterfall that can be turned down during the ceremony so your guest can actually hear whats going on. The grass is fake grass though. You can't really tell. The area is surrounded by so many trees that if they put real grass it would die off and not look as great. The reception spot for this place is what I love most! Its in a tent with one side being the bar/buffet area and the other side opens up to a little brick patio with a fire place. IT'S SO NICE! The staff in on point and really professional. The only downside about this venue is that weddings shut down around 9am and you can pay for an additional hour but is around $1200. Booo! But this is literally the only downside.

If I could give them 100 stars out of 5, I would! THE BEST VENUE I could've ever asked for!!! Almost everything is included, which makes planning a wedding less stressful and more fun. My coordinator, Ashley, was beyond amazing! She helped make everything perfect, and I couldn't have asked for more. The owner, Don, gave us a private tour one day when we were visiting, and absolutely sealed the deal with us. They know what they're doing here, and are so good at it. My day was absolutely perfect. The grounds were beautiful, and the service they provided was impeccable. People are still talking about how amazing the venue was, and how wonderful the food was. I recommend them to everyone I know getting married, and hope to go back every year for our anniversary. They are just absolutely wonderful!

Grand Traditions was mine and my husband's first choice in venues for our wedding. I had spotted it before we were engaged and had to see it. My husband fell in love with it almost the second we walked the Arbor Terrace. It was perfect for us! The Arbor Terrace is a beautiful, tropical site inside of Grand Traditions. It has waterfalls and gorgeous scenery and plant life. Not to mention the staff! We had such great experiences with the staff members. Katie And Carrie were fantastic with helping to get everything planned and situated. Carrie got us started and set up, then Katie took care of us from then on. She was always there to answer questions and was very helpful and completely on top of all of our little details (such as making sure A1 sauce was provided on the wedding day). Thank you all so much for making our day so special!

This was one of the first venues we looked at during our search for wedding sites and nothing compared to Grand Traditions! You cannot get the amount of space offered at Grand Traditions at any metropolitan city (SD, OC, LA or SF). So making our guests travel to this destination spot was worth it.
The staff were professional, answered all of our questions, very knowledgeable about the wedding industry and the venue. They were not pushy at all. They knew the facts that were essential in our final decision process.
Grand Traditions is absolutely breathtaking and provides that “WOW” factor you are looking for on your special day and to show off to your guests! You have the beautiful landscape (waterfalls, lush garden, heart shape lake, beautiful flowers, and lots of space) to make it special for the bride, groom and guests. Most importantly, the staff was superb from start to finish! They specialize in weddings and they have their customer service down to perfection!
They created such a wonderful experience throughout this wedding process. It was an awesome day not only for us but our guests! We received so many compliments and many of them said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and experienced. It just comes down to the venue and the people. That really makes a difference! You will not regret booking your wedding day at Grand Traditions. You will only receive compliments

Well the one thing I can say is that this consistent in doing one thing, WOWing their customers. My wife and I got married this past weekend on 2-15-15 and I can gladly say that I am a satisfied customer. With breathtaking scenery along with a staff that I constantly on point whether it is just giving a tour or during the wedding and taking on any conflict that occurs. Our coordinator Ashley Speakman has been a dream to work with. She was very flexible to any last minute changes and was easy to get in contact with. All of our guest were very impressed with the venue along with the food and service. I would recommend the Grand Tradition Estate to anyone who is looking for that WOW factor.

I had the best experience at Grand Tradition Estate! This place is definitely worth every penny, all the staff are very helpful and friendly. My wedding day was more than I had ever expected. I got married at the Beverly Mansion and everything was so beautiful and organized. My wedding coordinator was so sweet and helpful! I cannot wait to go back with my husband for lunch at the Veranda!!! Thank you for everything Grand Tradition!

Grand Tradition (Arbor Terrace) and our coordinator, Katie Armstrong, were amazing! Katie was always so helpful and answered all of my questions quickly. The day of went smoothly thanks to them and they were so flexible for last minute changes. The whole team did such a great job and we got so many compliments on our choice of venue, the food and the service.

Unbelievable service front start to finish. My son was married at the Grand Tradition Estates Sept 2014. The 35 acres are a fantasy land of beautiful grounds filled with waterfalls, tropical lush plants, a lake in the shape of a heart. The grounds have colorful flowers year round. It is a photographers dream site. There are cascading water falls and , the Beverly Mansion. I surprised my son and daughter in law with the horse and carriage ride after the ceremony. There are many extras included in the package price....wedding coordinator, all set up and tear down for the ceremony and reception, silver cake stand and much more. It is a hidden jewel in the Fallbrook area. As a designer and artist, I am known for my creativity and attention to details. I have very high expectations. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend to at least go there and have a golf cart tour of the grounds. We fell in love with it in the first few minutes. Our wedding was a once in a lifetime experience. The service from the staff was exceptional. There are no hotels rooms on site but inexpensive rooms within walking distance. We stayed 15 minutes away at the Pala Casino. I admit I was apprehensive that they selected a casino but it exceeded my expectations. There are separate entrances for the hotel rooms from the casino. Our rooms were extra spacious and very large bathrooms. The views from the suites were spectacular of the near by mountains. The staff was very friendly. Our wedding was four days ago and I am having the fun of reliving every minute from ourbeautiful photos.

They are so amazing and very professional. Our first meeting was with Carrie and she was awesome and so helpful. She knew exactly what I wanted after minutes of meeting with her and we knew we had to go with them. They make you feel so comfortable and that your wedding is going to be taken care of and you will not stress one bit. We got assigned to Ashley for our coordinator, she is super sweet, very professional and so attentive. Every question or concern I had, Ashley responds quickly and efficiently. This place has numerous weddings, but they make you feel like your wedding is the only wedding that matters. This place is worth every dime!

Honestly this is the most beautiful venue in the area. It's amazing! We looked at SO many different locations, from Burbank to Temecula and just kept coming back to this one. The staff is very helpful and everything at this venue is in immaculate condition! We got married here on May-18-2014 and I was so very happy with just about everything! Ashley was our wedding coordinator (a wedding coordinator comes with the package, super helpful) She was great! The food was amazing, we are still getting complements. The venue is jaw dropping gorgeous!
There are two things I did not like about the venue, they both can be easily fixed. If you decide on this venue (you will be happy if you do) be specific about two things:
First, make sure that they keep your guest book/picture out the entire wedding! They put ours away after the ceremony and we didn't even get half of our guest to sign it. That was a major disappointment.
Second, we had pom-pom balls for the aisle. They brought them up after the ceremony and set them on the buffet table. . . that was perfectly fine but after dinner was over they closed up the area for the buffet and threw the pom-pom balls away. We paid for those and had some people that wanted to take them home, its not for them to choose what to put in the trash, that's for me to decide.
Besides those two things (which are a super easy fix) this place is wonderful! They do an remarkable job, have an incredible staff, and made our day perfect! I would definitely refer them to a friend, family member, or stranger! They were genuinely marvelous!
