Los Laureles Lodge Reviews

We had the most amazing wedding at Los Laureles Lodge. It was truly the perfect venue for us. We hosted our welcome party and rehearsal dinner at the venue, in addition to our wedding ceremony and reception. Les and Alina were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process of planning our wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly and worked with us to create our dream wedding. It is truly a beautiful venue, headlined by a majestic oak tree on the property. The food was delicious and we got many compliments from our guests. The different accommodation options on the property also were very convenient, including the Hill House where we stayed for the whole weekend and was the perfect place to host a tea ceremony, host family, and get ready the day of the wedding. We can't speak highly enough of Los Laureles Lodge and would highly recommend! We look forward to returning every year for our anniversary and reliving our special day :)

I’m the mother of the bride and our daughter and new son-in-law just had their beautiful wedding at Los Laureles Lodge recently. The venue is a lovely setting at a historic old rancho. Their ceremony was under the large, graceful oak tree up on the hill. And the spacious Hill House was perfect for the bridal party to get ready and spend the night beforehand. My husband and I stayed in #3 Surrey Lane room and it was large and comfortable. Also, close to the office and lobby. Centrally located! It was so nice having folks be able to stay right on the premises. I personally appreciated the golf cart ride up the hill. After the ceremony and a short family photo session we joined others for cocktails before walking over to the reception area. The tables were set up nicely on the spacious patio surrounded by trees and foliage. Alongside was a green lawn where they had a corn hole game set up. The DJ played in a covered area in the corner. At the other end was a gazebo where the cake and desserts were served. Our daughter and son-in-law chose the Mexican buffet, which was very tasty.
The dance area was spacious up near the DJ and music. The only thing I would have changed is having the event last until 10 pm rather than 9 pm. Maybe start an hour later. It would have been nice to enjoy dancing in the dark under the lights. I always thought that 10 pm was the cut-off time for music (neighbors, etc.) Why 9 pm? Other than that, it was perfect. Oh, one more thing: The continental breakfast was rather sparse. And on Sunday they ran out of coffee cake right away. But, that wasn’t a big deal! Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful wedding weekend! The owner/coordinator, Les was on top of things, even when things got behind schedule slightly. It all worked out, though! The staff was great, as well. Thank you, Los Laureles Lodge for helping to make our daughter’s dream wedding perfect.

I had my wedding at Los Laureles Lodge last October, and I don't know what took me so long to write this review. This was, without a doubt, the perfect venue for our wedding. The setting was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I loved being able to have guests of the wedding stay at the venue, and the house on the hill was an amazing place to get ready. The site is amazing and the food is good, but the best thing about Los Laureles is Les.

Without Les, the day would not have gone nearly as well. Les is a wedding veteran. She knows how to manage a wedding, and did an amazing job. She made the night stay on schedule, even chasing guests away so that my new husband and I actually had a chance to eat. Les did more for the day than I could have asked. She helped get guests where they needed to be, she moved my car when I was running behind, and she was a kind smiling face throughout the night. I knew if I needed absolutely anything Les would be there.

We could not have picked a better place for a wedding, and I am so so happy with our decision. My extended family is even thinking about going back for our next Thanksgiving!

Love Los Laureles Lodge! The minute we saw the oak tree for our ceremony, we were sold. The outdoor reception area was gorgeous, too! Beautifully landscaped - we almost didn't even need any decorations. Les was so great - she kept her cool from day one. She was super accommodating and very helpful through out all the planning, including the actual wedding day.

The food was also delicious! We offered a choice of salmon or filet mignon and both were so great!!

We had about 100 guests and I was so happy that Les was able to accommodate all of them! The wedding party rented the Hill Top House and we had a BLAST!

Los Laureles Lodge was in a word AMAZING!! Les was wonderful to work with and did everything she could to make our day as seamless as possible. Communication was great and she followed through on every detail. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful day and Les was a huge part of our wedding day success!

The wedding coordinator was extremely helpful, they transformed a plain courtyard into a beautiful setting and were very accomodating. The food was excellent and they were very flexible with the menu

We got married under the big oak tree at Los Laureles and it was stunningly beautiful (email me for photos if you'd like some). Les was our day-of wedding coordinator (incuded in price) and was very experienced. Our guests raved about the location and I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else.

We were impressed by how organized and well run our wedding ceremony and reception was. Les and Mike Terry are the consumate professionals. Their lodge is beautiful and the services provided, including the food was exceptional.
