    Did it ourselves!

    Loved that we were able to personalize our wedding! My girlfriends and I did our own decorating (hippy meet’s corporate theme) and we were able to rent the facilities for a weekend to set up and take down. It was perfect. Memo and Jennifer were gracious hosts! I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

    Beautiful outdoor venue

    I was able to create my own vision at this venue! The owners were the sweetest, down-to-earth people! Were there if I needed anything! This venue is a beautiful outdoor that provides me the space to create my dream wedding!

    Magical fairytale!

    As I grew up in Escondido, Julian was one of my favorite places to visit. Naturally, getting married anywhere in this area was so ideal. We went to visit the venue and Memo greeted us with such warm and welcoming energy. From the very start they were there answering all my questions, emails, and concerns with speedy replies and consideration. This venue is absolutely amazing from the trees to the stars and bonfire after the reception. If you are a nature lover, this is the place for you. It is definitely more or a DIY venue as you would need to do most things yourself unless you hire someone, but with that being said, it is also so much more customisable to be exactly what you want. We had our wedding on August 23, 2019 and as it was the hottest month of the year, we were concerned about staying cool, and getting ready as the house didn’t have air conditioning. I was AMAZED at how cool the house was. It was almost cooler than some houses with AC as they keep all the cool air in from the night before. Not to mention, all the trees kept the ceremony and reception area nice and shaded and cool as well. Being in nature, you really only need minimal decorations as it was so beautiful as it was. Everyone at our wedding was blown away and said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have been to. Lastly, I cannot speak more highly of Jennifer and Memo. As the venue owners, you would expect them to be around and help here and there... they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and give a helping hand wherever they could see needed one. They have such loving energy and really made an impact. We already look forward to visiting them when we are back in the area.
    We had the wedding of our dreams come true here! Thank you Jennifer, Memo, and Eliana(the sweetest girl ever)!!

    Beautiful experience

    I had my wedding at this beautiful place last May, and there was NO disappointments whatsoever. The venue, the views, the owners Memo and Jennifer were so wonderful, it was better than my heart could've ever imagined. The day of the wedding, Jennifer helped sooth my nerves minutes before the ceremony and she coached me through a little slow breathing 💜 it helped me MORE than she even knew. She even joined in a prayer between my father and I minutes before "show time!" and it melted my heart that a complete stranger was so attentive and caring during such an important day of my life.. I decided to play Hallelujah on the piano in their home while we were getting ready for the ceremony and she even chimed in singing with the most beautiful voice ✨.. After an amazing ceremony and reception held on their property, late in the night our family who stayed the night to camp as well as Jennifer and Memo and a couple of their volunteers joined us to lounge around the fire pit and enjoy the rest of the night under the stars sharing stories and enjoying each others company. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing about the venue and that day. 💜 Thank you both for such an amazing experience and helping make the wedding everything we could've hoped for and so much more.
    We'll have to stop by soon to camp out and enjoy the evening with you all again! ✨
    Sincerely, Brennen and Rayleen Begley 💜

    Quiet and natural

    After having to change our venue mid-pandemic with only a few months to make a decision, Matt and I landed on this place! Beautiful scenery, very natural and the staff on site are friendly.

    The property hadn’t really been maintained to what I would have considered wedding standards. The gate into the property was broken and just looked unprofessional. A lot of dried brush all over the main property grounds; for a wedding in July we asked guests not to smoke and strayed away from candles with the sole fear of starting a wildfire.

    The blue mirror; probably my favorite part of the entire property! The tables and chairs with all linens included helped tremendously and the staff of the property helped clean them upon arrival. The bistro lighting across the patio is great at night and really made the “dance” area glow. The gazebo was also well shaded and a solid place for guests to eat and enjoy the festivities.

    The house was unorganized and bathrooms were odd/small but none the less worked for our weekend event.

    If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a natural scenery; I would recommend this place.

    Also - the cell service was very spotty being where the property is located on the mountain to Julian.
