Monteleone Meadows Reviews

I don't even know where to begin. Monteleone Meadows is by far the best venue out there, hands down. From the wonderful family that runs the venue, to the smoked tri tip and delicious food to the absolutly beautiful venue... i couldnt have asked for a better experience! I toured several other locations in so cal, and nothing came close to the personal experience and dedication from the team. They made the whole experience perfect and memorable!

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From the very beginning, the family who owns and runs this space made us feel so welcome and cared for—it truly felt like planning with family. They were accommodating, kind, and incredibly easy to work with, even helping us pull everything together in a limited amount of time due to a family health scare. Their flexibility and support made all the difference.

The venue itself is stunning, with a natural backdrop that needs little extra decoration, and their own resources meant we didn’t have to juggle an overwhelming number of vendors. The food was absolutely amazing—comforting, delicious, and served with such warmth that many of our guests are still talking about it. The entire day was filled with joy, laughter, and a true sense of home.

The space is intimate, family-oriented, and fun—everything we dreamed of and more. If we could do it all again, we would choose this venue without hesitation. They gave us not just a wedding, but a beautiful memory we’ll cherish forever.

As a vendor in the wedding industry, Burnside Events, who frequently works with various venues, I am always pleased when I come across a venue I haven't visited before and find the staff to be professional and welcoming. As a DJ and Photo Booth company, we often encounter unpredictable situations when entering new venues, such as encountering rude staff, being tucked away in inconvenient corners, facing difficulties with power accessibility, or encountering challenges during the loading and unloading process. However, my experience at Montagu Meadows surpassed all expectations by ensuring I had everything I needed to deliver my best performance for the bride, groom, and their guests.

Montagu Meadows truly goes above and beyond to cater to their clients' needs. They are incredibly accommodating, willing to assist with any requirements you may have. I was particularly impressed when I witnessed them rearranging a portion of their barn at the last minute to accommodate the caterer. This level of dedication and flexibility is commendable and goes beyond what is typically expected.

Not only does Montagu Meadows prioritize their clients, but they also ensure the satisfaction of their vendors and staff. Their commitment to service before self is evident and should be a compelling reason for anyone considering hosting an event or working at this venue to feel excited. I wholeheartedly recommend Montagu Meadows for their exceptional service and genuine dedication to creating memorable experiences for all involved."

Feel free to make any further adjustments or let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!

My wedding was absolutely perfect, and I am so glad that I chose Monteleone Meadows. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and there is no other place that I would have had my wedding at. It looks like an enchanted garden! The owner, Hennie, was so sweet and extremely kind. She was wonderful to work with, and very accommodating to my vision for the wedding. She was very helpful in the planning process, and she was present the whole day and helped out tremendously. In addition to this, the price was very reasonable for everything that was included. I highly recommend Monteleone Meadows!

I can not put in words how wonderful the Monteleone's are. We did not have a wedding planner, but Hennie knew exactly what she was doing. She has an amazingly beautiful, you must visit, venue. The moment I walked across the bridge and saw the gazebo, I teared up....There is something magical about this place. I was fortunate enough to be able to wed my best friend here with my friends and family. It was my dream wedding and I can't thank Hennie and Mike enough for helping with a dream come true. You do not need to worry about table decor, or lighting, unless you want something very specific. Hennie takes care of it all, including a delicious cake from a local bakery. Her team was incredible and I had no worries all night. The venue itself is just breath taking. I highly recommend Monteleone Meadows.

Just wow!!! I looked at a lot....and I mean A LOT of venues before finding Monteleone Meadows completely by accident, and it's the best accident I could have had. First, Hennie, the owner: I absolutely love her!! She makes you feel as though you're part of her family rather than a walking, talking dollar sign. It is a family run venue, and everyone is so nice! It's also priced really fair (unlike so many venues). They really do care and want to provide the wedding of your dreams, and that's exactly what they did! I could not recommend them more!!! And the food...omg....the food is delicious...like, unbelievably good...especially for what you get at most weddings...we got a feast! I'll forever appreciate Hennie, Suzanne, and everyone at Monteleone who made our wedding the most special day it could possibly be!!

We loved having our wedding at Monteleone Meadows! The venue is so beautiful and romantic, and Hennie and the staff are very easy to work with.

We were married at the Meadows earlier this year and it was breathtaking! It was nice to get married in our home town at such a lovely venue.

I got married at Monteleone Meadows beautiful location and everyone involved was extremely helpful and accomdating and the food was fantastic.

I couldn't have had a more perfect wedding! This place was fabulous and the people are the extreamly nice and accommodating! Thank you Monteleone meadows!!

i am so happy that I chose the meadows as my wedding venue. The property is beautiful and Henny ( the owner) made all the planning so easy for me. They were very accommodating as we ended up having a bunch of non RVSP’ers show up at the last minute. The food was excellent and the staff so friendly.

The easiest experience you could ever imagine. Hennie and her staff make the whole planning process and day of completely stress-free! True professionals!

My husband and I recently got married in May of 2017. We both have large families and wanted something to accommodate both sides and Monteleone Meadows was absolutely perfect. Hennie and Gina helped us plan and organize every single step of our wedding and she had the best recommendations to make our special day everything we wanted. We had just about 300 people at our event and every single step of the day went even better than I had imagined. When I showed up the morning of the wedding every single thing was already in place! The staff is so helpful, everybody made sure we were beyond comfortable and had everything we needed at every point of the day, the venue itself is absolutely stunning, well-kept, and clean. Everybody was so impressed with dinner, The food was TO DIE FOR! It will definitely be a day that we look back on for the rest of our lives and it couldn't have been anywhere close to his perfect without Monteleone Meadows!

AMAZING! Honestly I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Monteleone Meadows. I was looking for an outdoor venue that felt like a garden, beautiful, rustic atmosphere and this place was exactly what i was looking for. I went to 25 different venues and just never found anything that felt right but as soon as I walked through the property I fell in love and decided within 5 minutes that this was the venue.
They are family owned which means you are dealing with real people not a corporation. They understand everything you are going through as a bride and make you feel like family. They work with an amazing florist who took my small idea and created something more beautiful that I could have imagined.
The price was the best bang for my buck. It included cake, food, silverware, basic linens and centerpieces (without flowers), chairs and lights. Most places I looked at try to nickel and dime you into paying per glass or per seat but they said if they already have it, its included.

The day of they were also very competent in creating the atmosphere and look i was going for without much instruction from me. I placed my ideas in the very capable hands of the staff at Monteleone and was AMAZED at how beautiful everything turned out.
I would HIGHLY recommend using this venue if you want the perfect day!

I visited a couple wineries, hotels and different locations and I completely fell in love with Monteleone Meadows. It is family owned and operated and from the first minute you feel like you are a part of their family. Henne and her staff welcomed us with open arms and continued to go above and beyond our expectations. We could call her at anytime and ask questions, run things by her, etc and she was always upbeat and ready for anything. I am so grateful we chose to have our wedding at Monteleone Meadows. :)

My wedding was on June 3, 2011 and it couldn't have gone any better at Monteleone Meadows. They worked with us~ even when we had to change our wedding date and provided great services. The family that owns this property are very welcomming, open, prompt with calls and emails and really want whats best for the bride and groom here. The property is breath taking- beautiful swans, waterfalls, lake, lights, green fields and then it has a southern side to it where across from the way there are farm animals and even a bull. Very fun enviroment, great food, beautful location and great pricing! I highly recommend this place!!

Where to start...I cannot say enough good things about Monteleone Meadows. My wife and I recently got married here, and have had what will likely be one of the best experiences of our lives. Not just because it was our wedding day, but because of the care and compassion that all of the staff and support put into making it truly, our special day.

First off, you will not find this place through conventional wedding venue searches. They do not advertise much, and we were referred to them by some friends who got married there the year prior. They were fortunate enough to find a small add in a local Murrieta phone book.

The venue is a little off the beaten path, and can be a little tricky to find at first. But once you make your way off the main road and through the side streets you will be amazed at your first glance of the pebble covered parking lot. On one side you have a fully functioning ranch, and on the other side you have what looks like a hidden oasis in the desert hills of Murrieta.

In our first visit we met the owner, Hennie, who gave us a tour of the grounds and explained to us how on our wedding day, the location is basically ours for the taking. We were able to bring in virtually anything and work with their onsite staff to pull off whatever needed pulling off. Hennie set us up with a list of recommended vendors from florists, officiants, bakeries, djs, photographers, and all the other types of vendors you might need for a wedding. We ended up going with most of these vendor recommendations, as they were all very professional and great to work with.

The best part about Monteleone Meadows is that the cost for using the venue covers your officiant, your food, table linens, the bartender(if you supply your own alcohol), and gives you the possibility of using some of the stockpile of goodies they have accumulated for making weddings special for years.

Over the course of the year we were able to go up repeatedly to work with the Banquet Manager Gaby, and the onsite florist, Suzanne. Both were wondrous to work with. Whenever we had an issue either booking a vendor, or even if we were just asking a question, Hennie, Gaby, or Suzanne were quick to address our needs, and make sure we were satisfied.

When the big day finally arrived, we were astounded at how attentive Hennie and Gaby were. They were constantly checking with my wife and I bringing us food during the reception or just making sure we were happy with how the evening was progressing. The food was delicious, and the guests were having a great time. The staff made the entire evening stress free, and so worth the year of planning and preparation that was put into our wedding.

I would recommend Monteleone Meadows for any event, especially weddings, and certainly hope to have the opportunity to attend more there in the future.

Again, Thank You for helping to make our wedding day truly perfect and stress free.

Monteleone Meadows was the perfect place! Hennie (the owner) is so fantastic! They are so accomodating and flexible. They go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect and exactly how you want it. We are so happy that we had our wedding at Monteleone Meadows. It was beautiful.

Hennie was amazing during the few day leading up to the wedding! She really helped keep me organized and everything turned out more than perfect! The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is great, and Hennie, as well as all her staff were very accommodating and welcoming! We would definitely recommend Monteleone Meadows for any upcoming weddings or events!

Our wedding was absolutely amazing (and affordable) and it was thanks to our venue. We absolutely had the most amazing time and they were quick to make our dream wedding happen. It even rained on our day and they were quick and efficient at making it happen and still even more beautiful.

Monteleone Meadows was the perfect place for my wedding everything turned out beautifully. We went with their florist and minister. The florist did a WONDERFUL job everything turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined!!! I highly recommend them!

We loved having an outdoor ceremony and reception! This venue was perfect for creating a private event. I felt there was very little flexibility for the fact the cost was kind of high.. because it didn't include setting up decorations on the gazebo the day of. However, enjoying the bridal suite was a nice thing and everything came together in the end. If you're planning on using MM, I would definitely recommend using a professional wedding planner as there are a lot of things that need to be done and we ended up running around having close family members doing the work! Overall, very gorgeous property and great for any event :) Also, the food- Absolutely delicious! I was very happy with Hennie for letting us add things to the menu for more vegetarian options. I was so disappointed I didn't get to sit and actually eat the meal because I was so busy!

They did a great job helping us plan our service. Their pricing was moderate and within our budget. They have plenty of decorations to choose from and recommendations from nearby vendors. The food was amazing and the venue was beautiful. My only complaints were they were very difficult to get a hold of, often not answering the phone for days. Also, on the day of, I felt like the coordinator did not direct the schedule as strongly as I wish she would have.
