Highly recommend!!
We truly had the best experience with Talega and Michael’s team for our wedding in March. From start to finish, everything was organized, seamless, and thoughtfully handled, which allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day without stress. A special thank you Michael and Myra, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Their calm presence, professionalism, and attention to detail made such a huge difference throughout the day. Our families are still talking about how smoothly everything flowed! The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and the entire team made us feel so supported throughout the process. We’re so grateful for all the hard work behind the scenes that made our day feel effortless and so memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and an incredible team to work with!Talega Golf Club's reply:
April + Samuel!!! I am over the moon happy to read your feedback about your big day!

A wedding beyond what we dreamt
This review is long overdue. Where to begin?
My husband and I got married at Talega back in May 2025, and people still talk about how perfect everything was. They are right (not biased at all) - everything was absolutely perfect and we wouldn’t change one thing.
Let’s start off with the star of our special day. Michael was such a crucial part of the entire wedding process. He made everything from the start of planning to the end of the event so smooth. He lwas thorough, extremely detailed, attentive, professional, and patient. We didn’t hire a wedding planner, so we were a little nervous about how everything was going to turn out. Honestly, we did not need one because we had Michael. He made sure we had the best wedding ever, and he 100000% delivered. He took care of us so well, and we were able to enjoy our wedding stress-free. I made a few mistakes with some of our guests’ meal selections, but Michael quickly came to the rescue and fixed everything on the spot in the midst of the craziness. Our guests still talk about how amazing he was!
The venue is incredibly beautiful. It was renovated in early 2025, and we had the privilege of having our wedding in such a perfect space. It’s clean, spacious, and modern while timeless. Part of the golf course was blocked off during the wedding so the space truly felt private. The ceremony was held outdoors, and the weather was perfect in May. Our reception was indoors, and the room held our 130+ guests perfectly.
The food was amazing. Everything was delicious and worth every penny. For appetizers, we selected the beef skewer with thai plum sauce, grilled scallops wrapped in bacon, and the spinach and feta puff pastry. For our entree, we chose the grilled shrimp and tournedos of beef. Everything was delicious and eaten too quickly.
If you want the wedding of your dreams, I highly recommend going with Talega. You will not be disappointed!-

Our Wedding Day
My husband and I got married at Talega Golf Club on 10/4/25 and it was the best decision we ever made! We got engaged in 2022 and started scouting venues back in late 2023. Our little secret is Talega was the one and only venue we toured and we fell in love with it immediately so we secured our date well far in advance! We, like other couples, read these helpful reviews and the highlight and selling factor was the mention of an amazing individual named Michael. And they were right. Michael has been in communication with us since 2023 and has helped to answer all our questions, concerns, and everything you could name. He never felt bothered by the millions of emails I would send to him which I really appreciated. We also hired him to be our day-of-coordinator and he made our vision come to life. Michael has been patient and kind, he made wedding planning a lot easier because he prepares you for everything and is extremely detail-oriented. He also had a sweet assistant Mayra who also took care of us on wedding day. Talega was wonderful because it includes everything that you need including in-house food and drink as a part of their packages, so I didn't have to worry about plates, utensils, linens, etc. because Michael took care of it all.
In addition, my husband and I lucked out because the venue got re-modeled earlier this year so the entire ceremony and reception spaced was re-vamped and looked stunning. I initially fell in love with Talega because of the Spanish architecture/arches so the re-model was just the icing on the cake. Our photos with the building came out gorgeous.
If you're planning a future wedding, Talega is the perfect venue and I would highly recommend choosing Michael and his services.-

Couldn't recommend a better venue and team!
I only have great things to say about Talega, Michael, and the team! First, the offering for the price is a great value and takes out a lot of the decision making (linens, chairs, cake, etc. included). Second, the venue is so pretty and the new renovations look great. We loved the california coastal spanish charm. Third, Michael himself is a dream to work with. So on top of everything and ran a great day of show (we hired him as coordinator along with Myra). Lastly, Talega has curated a strong group of preferred vendors which we leaned into!
Thanks again to Talega, Michael, and the team. You made our big day more than perfect-

If you want the perfect South Orange County wedding, book here!!!!
We just got married at Talega this past weekend (06/21/2025), and we have nothing but praises for the Talega Golf Club, Michael (the events director and our coordinator), and his staff!
We looked at 6 venues in total (all in south orange county) and none of them came close to what Talega had to offer. Once we secured our date, we were given a decent list of recommended vendors which we selected all of our vendors from. I had complete faith and trust in all of these vendors that Michael had listed (once you meet him, you'll understand), and as someone who is very type A, I was shocked that I was so relaxed about everything!
My husband and I have ZERO regrets on choosing this venue and have been raving to everyone we talk to about Michael. Michael is literally the BEST!!! He is so kind, personable, professional, and hilarious! He not only is a walking encyclopedia of all things weddings but he one of the most genuine people we have encountered! There truly needs to be more people like him in the world!! I am truly going to miss working with him. Michael, if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!!!Talega Golf Club's reply:
Josey + Jack!
No- I am not here in my office tearing up over this review- not at all...
Thank you for taking time to extol your thoughts on the venue and myself! It is always so wonderful to read such a kind commentary from such a great couple- that affirms why I stay in this business- and still love it! Will miss you both, and do hope to at least see you around anniversary- you will always have a seat at the table here at Talega : )

Amazing wedding venue/staff!
We loved every second with Talega! From the moment we first met Michael and toured the venue, we knew Talega would be our wedding reception venue. Michael is THE BEST! His professionalism, understanding, patience, vast experience/knowledge and kindness is a big part of why we ended up choosing Talega. Knowing Michael would be on our team and helping us with details of the reception played a huge part of our wedding reception going perfectly! Michael met with us several times in person and over the phone, as well answered all our emails promptly (this was super important for us since we live in LA and couldn’t meet in person every weekend). Michael has done so many weddings - all his recommendations for us whether it be vendors to work with, decor, timeline, small details worked perfectly for our wedding day. We’re sooo happy we choose Talega for our wedding day. It was everything we imagined and more. And a huge shoutout to Michael and his team! They helped ensure our wedding reception ran smoothly and all our guests had the best time!

Endlessly Grateful for Talega and Michael
Talega Golf Club was beyond what my husband and I could've ever imagined for our wedding last October! The venue is gorgeous, the food was amazing, and we have nothing but incredible things to say about Michael, the event coordinator.
He was also our day-of coordinator, and he, alongside his incredible assistant Myra, truly made the day unforgettable. Michael and Myra's attention to detail and dedication to us on and before our big day was outstanding - we felt so well-taken care of, and we knew the day would go off without a hitch because of them. Our appreciation for Michael and Myra are endless!
Their wedding package inclusions made our planning process so seamlessly easy! The choices for linens, tables, chairs, etc are all gorgeous and just what we wanted for our big day. The courtyard where we had the ceremony was clean and well-kept, and had the perfect backdrop for our altar. The cocktail area was gorgeous and had plenty of options for seating or standing without feeling cramped. The reception area was perfect for dinner and dancing - there was plenty of room for all of our tables, dance floor, bar, and DJ booth! Dinner selections were inclusive to all diets and we still get complements on how incredible the food was - we totally agree (best food we've ever had at a wedding, and that's not even us being bias lol). All of the waiters/bartenders were so sweet and made sure our guests were well-taken care of all evening.
My husband and I will always have nothing but amazing things to say about Talega, Michael, and all of the wonderful staff. Thank you for making our special day even more amazing!Talega Golf Club's reply:
Haley + Chase!! Wow you have me blushing! Haha! What a lovely review- I am so honored by your comments about your experience here at Talega. My heart is warmed in hearing that we succeeded in bringing your vision of your BIG day to life!
Lots of Love,
Your Talega Family -

Amazing venue!!
Our entire experience at Talega for my daughter’s wedding was outstanding! Everything from our initial tour, the contract and details, communication, and the rehearsal and wedding were amazing. The venue is charming and beautiful (so many locations for pictures), food was delicious ( cocktail hour and hors de vores were perfect), and best of all the bride and groom’s vision was 100% met! Listen to Michael, the venue coordinator, and you will end up with the wedding your dreams! Michael made everything easy and we literally had no stress with the wedding planning or wedding day. He has systems down and is very detailed. Go with the venue’s recommendations for photo, DJ, bakery, transportation, and florist (they have a list of options). They all work together as a team and are familiar with the set up and flow.Talega Golf Club's reply:
Dearest Mother of the Bride Kim,
Reading your comments here genuinely warms my heart. I really strive to ensure everyone's special day is as smooth and stress free as possible.
You were so lovely to work for, and I commend all your efforts in planning and organizing the perfect day for your daughter.
It was an honor and a pleasure to serve such wonderful families, friends, and a loving couple!

Best Day and best venue ever!
My husband and I got married on 11/2/24 at Talega. And wow! All I have to say is that it was so magical! Michael, who runs the venue, and who was also our wedding coordinator for the venue did absolutely amazing! He is so organized, very responsive, and wants to make sure you have the best day of your life! When my mom and i booked this venue, all i read about was about how great Michael was amd how beautiful everything was. And boy were all the reviews right! Michael is just the absolute best! Hes been doing this for 20 years and knows all thr vendors and gives you a selection of vendors hes worked with for about 20 years. All of the vendors we chose were from his list, and they all dod an amazing job to make our day the best day!
You get the outside for the ceremony and the banquet room for the reception. After the ceremony, the outside turns into a nice outdoor area for those who want to get away from the music and participate in any activities you have, such as a photobooth, cigar guy, cornhole, etc. The venue is just absolutely beautiful! The staff is amazing and very friendly. On my wedding day, when I was stressing, Michael did everything he could to make sure I was not stressed and taken care of. He took care of my mom as well!
Overall, everything was just the best! No issues at all! Talega made our dat so magical! I didn't want it to end.-

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue
Just had our wedding here on 9/28/24 and wow where can I start??! From the beginning when we toured the venue, we had no idea what to expect considering this was one of the more relatively lower budget venues we were touring at. So imagine our surprise when we got there and saw this venue, which was even more gorgeous than the more expensive ones we looked at previously.
Pictures don’t really do this place justice. The venue has a Spanish-colonial design which makes for a perfect backdrop for photos. The arches both outside and inside the building really makes it feel grand. The string lights in the courtyard are so pretty, both in the daylight and when they’re lit up at nighttime. The hills of rolling green grass in the background really give off that golf club aesthetic and all the palm trees around the venue really pop off and give California vibes. The view of the grassy lawn and palm trees I saw when I walked down the aisle was truly breathtaking and I’ll never forget this moment.
But mostly, we were in such good hands with Michael as the director. He comes from tons of experience (over 2000 weddings) and really treats your special day with so much empathy and care. Him and Mayra helped us out in so many ways:
-Set up our welcome table, seating chart display, and decorations with very little direction. I didn’t have time during rehearsal to let them know how and where to set it up, and when the wedding day came, everything was already set up so beautifully.
-We didn’t know we had to ask for a mic from our DJ, so we didn’t have one, and Michael took care of that problem very quickly.
-Michael walked me around the back entrance of the venue before I walked down the aisle, my pointy heels kept getting stuck in the ripped hole in my wedding dress and Michael helped me pull it out twice.
-Mayra helped me change into my 2nd wedding dress when I wasn’t able to find my bridesmaids near me.
-Michael swept up the fake money off the floor during reception, and also hand delivered us our signature drinks when we asked for them.
-I requested a signature drink that they’ve never made before and Michael personally tried out a bunch of recipes and helped pick out the best one.
Overall, Michael and Mayra put so much care and thought towards this special moment of our lives. With this venue, you get it all-the perfect coordinators and the most beautiful setting.
Some other things to note-food was amazing, both cocktail hour and reception. The food was also plated and presented very well too.
The only area of improvement would be that there is no bridal/groom suite. It wasn’t an issue for us since there is a fitting room on site. But in the future, it there is an opportunity, building a bridal/groom suite would improve the experience for others greatly.

A self-planner's dream!
Talega is truly a special place, not just because it's beautiful, but because of the work of its amazing staff, especially Michael. Michael was so helpful even before we chose Talega as our venue: he gave my parents a tour before I even met him, he answered all of our questions with detail and was so transparent when we asked about pricing and told him we were looking at other venues. During the planning process, he was always quick to give honest answers for everything, such as how long to have the dance floor open and when to give speeches! All these things I would never know about as someone planning her own wedding, Michael knew from his years of experience (he's done over 2000 weddings himself already!).
Someone else mentioned the affordability and that cannot be understated! For the price, it's amazing how much attention to detail you get: amazing food, wonderful cake, and for just a little bit more Michael as your coordinator handling EVERYTHING! One of our wedding party guests said that she'd never been to such an organized rehearsal lunch! Michael made sure our wedding day went so smoothly, with help from his wonderful assistant too. I also really appreciated the list of recommended vendors, which is where we got most of our vendors.
Looking back, one of the key selling moments was when Michael told us during the tour about how the day would go, and mentioned times when my now husband and I could get a moment to breathe. It made me realize how knowledgeable and thoughtful he is. He understood me as an introvert and really made sure I got everything I wanted but still had time to myself and my husband during the day. That's something that money can't even buy. I am SO, SO grateful to Talega and Michael for helping make our dream wedding come true!Talega Golf Club's reply:
Dear Amy + Michael, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to compose this wonderful review of services here at Talega. I am overwhelmingly happy you and your guests enjoyed the day! I am always so incredibly happy if I helped to alleviate even a moment of pressure from the planning process too. Hearing that you found value, and fun, here is the validation of my careers work. Wishing you both all the best of health and happiness always! -

Dream come true venue and coordinator experience!
I could not recommend Talega and Michael more! The venue is gorgeous and such a great value. So nice to have food, beverage, cake and coordination covered all in one place. The true magic of the venue is really Michael Voorhees and his team (special shoutout to Mayra as well!). He makes everything so easy and seamless and does everything in his power to bring your vision to life. He stays the entire night and ensures all the details are delivered from start to finish. Other venue day of coordinators we considered said they would leave after dinner so his commitment is outstanding. His recommended vendors were also outstanding, so his knowledge and insight was invaluable. Thank you so much Michael and Talega for making our big day absolutely perfect and as stress free as possible!-

Best Day Ever
Talega is a beautiful venue with lots to offer for the bride and groom. Views were gorgeous and Michael is the best! He and Myra helped me with my day to the point where I didn’t need to stress on anything. The entire staff were spectacular and gave my family great hospitality. The food is amazing and tasty. All of the Talega staff made our day even more special just by being caring and hands on. I would recommend this venue to anyone!-

This wedding was the Wedding of my Daughter’s dreams ♥️ Michael was absolutely amazing in every way, and was so helpful, organized and knowledgeable of every single part of our day and planning!

Beautiful Venue & Exceptional Service
We hosted a wedding for our son and daughter in law at the end of January at Talega Golf Club and it was the most perfect day, and a wonderful experience from start to finish.
After touring numerous venues, we knew we found the right place after meeting Michael Voorhees who is the wedding coordinator at Talega. His experience, knowledge, and attention to detail made the planning process run very smoothly. Michael responded quickly to each question or request which put everyone at ease. We felt he truly wanted us to have a beautiful and memorable wedding celebration. On the day of the wedding, it was very reassuring having Michael there with his team taking care of every detail.
The venue itself is gorgeous with Spanish style architecture, a beautiful courtyard, tall palm trees, and arched windows in the banquet room. It was the perfect backdrop to a beautiful sunny California day.
If you are searching for a beautiful venue with superb service I highly recommend choosing Talega Golf Club. We are very happy we did!Talega Golf Club's reply:
Thank you Celine, for taking time to post this glowing review! It was an honor and a pleasure to serve such a wonderful couple and families. I am so grateful for your excellent organization of all the details for the sweet couple- bravo! Wishing your family all the best of everything always! -

Amazing Experience
I got married on Aug 12 and I am absolutely thankful I chose this venue. It was our first one we actually toured and after talking to Michael, walked thru the venue I had no doubt I wanted to get married here. We cancelled the other apts we had and gave the deposit the same day. Michael was an absolute joy to work with, so quick to respond to the list silly questions I had, walked me thru the whole process. The food is absolutely out of this world my guess are still talking about it. Trust me when I tell you this is the venue you want, with Michael by your side you will absolutely NOT regret it.
Thank you Talega and thank you Michael for making the wedding of my dreams to come true! ❤️-

Wedding of Our Dreams!!!
Look no further for the perfect venue! Not only was Talega absolutely beautiful but the club's coordinator, Michael, was fabulous as well! We knew from the moment we met him that he was going to make our special day extra special and he did! I highly recommend utilizing his services if booking here, you won't regret it! Back to the venue though - I loved how all the events (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception) were all close to each other. There were multiple delicious options for food/beverages, no waiting in long lines!! Now let's talk about the duet plate for dinner - WOW! The chef is an artist and the food is even more delicious than it looks which is pretty impressive for a served plate.... Overall, I don't have one bad thing to say. I wish I could do it all over again because we had that GREAT of a time! Thank you Talega and Michael for the most perfect wedding! -

Book Your Wedding at Talega - Michael is the BEST!
Working with Michael Voorhees was truly a highlight of our wedding planning process and wedding day. He was so pleasant to work with and incredibly helpful, always quick to respond to any of our questions.
The day of our wedding was all that we had hoped for. Everything was spot on and ran so smoothly thanks to Michael and his team. The venue was perfect for our 140 guests, the set up was gorgeous and the food and drinks were AMAZING! Nearly every guest we had raved about the food saying it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. Michael went above and beyond to work with our other vendors and to help us feel at ease the entire evening. We knew since meeting him that we would be in good hands having our wedding at Talega and we were so right. Michael Voorhees is an expert in his industry and we would recommend Talega and Michael for any event you are considering; we are sure you will be so happy with the decision.
Thank you, Michael, for helping us have the most memorable experience!-

Michael and His Talega Team are EXCELLENT
Micael and his Talega team are the truly the best in the business. My husband and I got married at Talega Golf Club on September 17, 2023 and Michael and his team truly provided us the best night of our lives, hands down. Michael’s attention to detail, thoroughness, knowledge of the industry and experience in the business are unmatched. From the day we got engaged at Talega to the months in between when I was sending Michael countess emails per day, he regarded us with nothing but genuine kindness and respect. He takes pride in his work and it absolutely shows. We had our hearts set on an outdoor wedding, and Michael and his team worked tirelessly to transform our ceremony space into the reception of our dreams in an efficient and timely manner. The food was absolutely incredible in quality, presentation and taste - our guests could not stop raving about it! We also loved that Michael and his team use local vendors for all their food, pouring in and supporting the community. At the end of the night when my husband and I rushed away into our getaway car, a bag with a piece of our wedding cake was stashed away for us! It’s things like this, that set Michael apart. His assistant Mayra was also incredible. She attended to me the whole night, making sure I had my flip flops when I needed them and helped bustle my dress with gracefully expertise. I cannot express how grateful I am for this truly, out standing team. They made all our wedding dreams come true and they genuinely care about their couples. We had the best night of our lives and we have Michael and his team at Talega to thank!Talega Golf Club's reply:
THIS>>>LOVELY>>>>COUPLE!!!!! The groom called up out of the blue one day asking if I would entertain possibly having his girlfriend accompany him to the venue where he would surprise her with a marriage proposal! He staged a photographer behind a tree, I gave a tour and during the tour excused myself, set out a carpet under an arch for him to bend a knee to ask the question- I will never forget the look on this brides face- so priceless- and an precious moment I will always cherish. A few weeks later they were booked for their wedding and we had a ball working outside of the box- literally- we had an all outdoor wedding- and it was truly magical! Alexandria and Kevin- thank you for being such a kind couple that makes the world a brighter more special place. -

Best Wedding Venue in Orange County
We had the most amazing wedding at Talega Golf Club this June. Michael and Mayra were so incredibly helpful from the very start of our wedding planning and made sure our day was perfect. The food at Talega is AMAZING - it is seriously one of the biggest highlights of our wedding and everything was so delicious and fresh. Talega is by far the perfect venue in Orange County and if you can lock in a date you will not regret picking this venue!-

Perfect June Wedding
Choosing Talega as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made! After viewing several venues that lacked the charm and flow of how we wanted our wedding to be, we arrived at Talega on a whim, and immediately felt that this was our venue! Michael made the wedding planning so seamless and took away a lot of the stresses leading up to the big day. Every detail was thought of and Michael was always there to assist. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests are still raving about it! The venue itself is so beautiful and I'm so happy we have pictures and memories to last a lifetime!-

The best of all
If you are looking for a wedding venue, book Talega now and you will be in GOOD hands! We were definitely very picky with our venue selection but after meeting Michael in person and seeing the venue, we decided that Talega is THE PLACE to be for our wedding! Here are the three reasons why we chose Talega for our venue: 1. The place itself. Unlike the other golf clubs with a normal ballroom reception, Talega is extremely pretty with its unique Spanish style architecture and hacienda style windows and walls. 2. The food. Yes, like all the other reviews the food was great!! the appetizers were amazing~~ 3. MICHAEL. aside from how professional he is, Michael is just a wonderful amazing human being who is there for YOU. He will have your back, along with his team and the amazing Myra!!! So if you are still reading this review, please look no further and book with Talega! You will not regret it and it just may be the best decision you will make for your wedding ;)-

Best Option!! Honestly You Should Go With Them!!
It feels almost criminal how hard these people work for how reasonable a rate they give for a wedding venue package! I remember thinking after our wedding like, holy crap, I can't believe they did all that for how much we paid!
We'll start with Michael. Michael is the greatest human being and the best coordinator you can ask for! If you go with Talega for your wedding, Michael will walk you through the entire process with professionalism, joy and humor, and make the whole ordeal feel seamless and painless. And this guy is the real deal. He'll provide insight and ask questions you never would even think about that's important for a wedding. I remember him asking about the bussells on a dress and how many there were so that we know when to change out the dress because it'll affect how long it takes before going into the reception. I have been to a good handful of weddings as a groomsman and NO coordinator has asked that or has asked even a quarter of the questions and insights that Michael brings to the table to make everything go well!
Then, there's Myra, (sorry if I misspelled your name!)! She is very attentive the day of to make sure that we, the bride and groom, are doing well! Honestly, she helped make the day (especially the part after ceremony when you're taking photos) so great because we were feeling tired but she popped up with champagne and water, and anything else we needed! She even brought a tray of appetizers to the bridal suite...room, thingy place for the bridesmaids and bride so that they could eat before the grand entrance for the reception!
The staff was amazing too! We didn't get to interact with them, but holy moly, do they work fast and well! Honorable mention to one of the servers (I don't know your name sorry! but I remember you were tall dude with blondish hair), because i desperately needed appetizers during the photo shoot with family, and he got my back! He always came with more appetizers for me! The food is amazing too! People said it was the best they had at weddings and I agree! Long gone are the days where I thought Korean catered restaurants were the pinnacle of wedding food! I will probably have to hand in my Korean citizenship (even though I never had one) for that comment, but I will do so willingly because that food was so good!!
You should honestly do your wedding here! It is amazing and it'll run smoothly in Michael's capable hands! My only regret is that in our wedding, we had a purple cowboy hats, but I didn't have enough to give to Michael and his staff! Though, Michael, if you read this and find one of those hats, please feel free to keep it and "yeehaw" on our behalf!Talega Golf Club's reply:
You Guys....Were so much FUN- Its a rare thing when I can barely keep up with all the good humor, genuine love and kindness in a given event, but, every time I turned around a new guest was thanking me for making your day special. Couples like you make me strive to give it my all, and after reading your gracious review I certainly feel fulfilled. Thank you so much and hope to see you both sooner than later! -

Exceedeed Expectations!
We got married at Talega Golf Club last month and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Michael Vorhees and his team are true professionals and made sure the day went perfectly. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. The kitchen and serving staff were phenomenal and attentive. Talega was the perfect size for our 135 guests and we had the best time! We received many compliments from our guests on the food and overall execution of the wedding. Thank you to the Talega events team for making our day so special! Book your wedding here, you won't regret it!Talega Golf Club's reply:

10/10! Book Talega if you can! Amazing
We had our wedding on December 3, 2022. Throughout our wedding planning process, Michael the venue coordinator was responsive, offered a ton of recommendations, and were even able to accommodate us when some costs were just adding up to be a little bit more than we had anticipated. He was super flexible with some of my silly requests and Has many things for the bride and groom to use on the day of such as a sweetheart back drop, votives, table numbers, easels… The list goes on. All of these small costs add up, so being able to use the venue’s is amazing. The best part about working with this venue is the transparent cost per person as well as all the things included with that cost. Michael never Makes you feel like all the questions you’re asking or inconveniencing him, he always gets back in a timely manner, and he even went out of his way to get me lychee juice and my favorite gin for a signature drink that I wanted. The most impressive thing is because I wanted an Asian inspired dinner, him and his chef collaborated with me and they created a dish that was made specifically for us. All the guests really loved it and it came out beautifully despite the chef having never made that dish before. They really do their best to give you an amazing experience and trust me, the whole venue truly transforms and it is such a magical place. So many of my guests gave us a ton of compliments on the venue, the food, the alcohol, the restrooms. Please book your wedding here, If you can! It’s booking up fast and I can see why! I’m so happy with my choice to get married at Talega.-

Amazing Wedding Venue
We LOVED our wedding at Talega. It was a beautiful venue for both an outdoor ceremony/ cocktail hour and indoor for dinner and dancing. Michael (Director of Food & Bev) is professional, friendly, and genuinely made us feel so valued throughout the entire planning process. His team was also amazing, including the chef and kitchen staff. Our guests raved about the food! The service and attention to detail seemed higher than other venues we looked at, and we are so happy we ended up choosing Talega for our wedding. Also, we did select some vendors from the preferred vendor list, and they were just as amazing as the Talega team.Talega Golf Club's reply:
Madeline!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Talega!
It was a real pleasure to assist you and Alex through the planning and on the BIG day. What a wonderful group of friends and family you have!!! We miss you already... Wishing you and yours all the best of health and happiness through the holidays and beyond! -

The best venue!!
We just got married at Talega on October 22, 2022 and it was an absolute dream! I don't even know where to start- since the day I started looking into venues, Michael Voorhees (the lead coordinator and event director at Talega) was nothing but helpful. He answered any questions I had almost immediately. He made himself available and really made me feel as though I was his main priority throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Talega Golf Club is the perfect venue for any size. My wedding had 95 guests and it felt perfect for that size. Michael will transform the space to accommodate any size to make the day feel perfect for you. I used all extra vendors (photo, video, florals, photobooth, DJ) from his recommended list and they were all amazing. Michael has excellent connections with all the vendors that he recommends and it made the entire process super easy for the day of the wedding!
Not only is the venue beautiful, details perfect, but the food is also excellent! So many of my guests reached out after the wedding to compliment the food. Michael will help you coordinate a tasting to choose the perfect meal for your wedding, and has accommodations for literally all dietary restrictions!
I really recommend this venue if you are looking to have a stress free, well planned and beautiful wedding day! I did not stress a single moment during my wedding day because everything was taken care of. Michael and his staff are truly exceptional and will help ease all the pains of wedding planning for you. The venue itself is also beautiful and makes for great photos on the golf course and around the grounds. Book your wedding at Talega and you will not regret it! I wish I could relive the magical day and I have Michael and his team to thank for that!-

Michael, a truly remarkable Wedding Coordinator
After performing over 650 weddings at various venues, working with Michael was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. His concern for the Bride and Groom, his ability to listen and accommodate, his coolness on the day of the ceremony and attention to detail was exceptional. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with an EXCEPTIONAL wedding coordinator, please consider Talega.Talega Golf Club's reply:

Stress-Free Personalized Service Start to Finish
Michael Voorhees is the perfect, most caring, most organized, funniest, kindest wedding venue manager you will ever have the joy of meeting and working with if you choose Talega Golf Club for your wedding. If you want to enjoy your wedding planning and wedding day to the absolute fullest, look no further. The venue is absolutely beautiful - intimate setting but holds up to 200 - the food is gourmet in taste and presentation, the large bar in the banquet room is very festive for your guests, and every detail you could ever think of is taken care of beautifully and professionally. I have never encountered a more positive, hard-working group of people. They made my daughter's wedding day amazing and we never had a moment of worry or stress from start to finish. Michael is the ultimate professional, a great communicator, and by the end of our wedding experience, a dear friend. -

A Memorable Day at Talega
Talega Golf Club is an incredible venue for a wedding ceremony and reception, or for any major family event. The club’s grounds, its beautiful facilities, and the views simply complimented this important day for the bride & groom and their guests.
The flow of the evening’s events from outdoor ceremony, to the post wedding cocktail reception, and to indoor dinner & reception was flawless. A million thanks to Talega’s Michael Voorhees, who acted as Wedding Coordinator, and his staff. Everything they did was done seamlessly and perfectly. I can truly state that this venue exceeded all my expectations.
The dinner menu chosen by the newlyweds was exceptional. The chef’s experience at Talega and meal presentation was a solid 5-star….everything was delicious. In addition, just about everyone in attendance raved about the dinner and the efficiency of their staff. I was impressed with Talega’s overall excellent service.
I highly recommend Talega Golf Club and Michael Voorhees to those seeking an excellent venue and an exceptional Coordinator. You won’t be disappointed.

Incredible Wedding Venue
Talega Golf Club was the ideal location to make our wedding dreams come true, but the real icing on the cake was having Michael. Michael is the Event Director for Talega and he doubled as our Day of Coordinator. From our first tour of the property to the big day, Michael was nothing short of spectacular. His communication, attention to detail, and ease to work with, made him made the absolute shining star of this industry. If the beauty of the grounds does not entice you enough to have a wedding here, Michael sure will. Michael and his team ensured everyone at our wedding was comfortable, drinks were never empty, food was delicious, vendors were directed and the setup was impeccable. He even ended the night by stocking our getaway car with champagne and dessert to enjoy. He made our day magical, stress-free, and one we will truly never forget! -

Absolutely incredible venue & service!
My fiance and I have this venue booked for our wedding in July, and even though we have not reached the big day yet, I could not recommend the venue more. This is mainly due to the awe-inspiring professionalism and care of the venue coordinator Michael V. From initial contact, to our food tasting last Sunday, we cannot stop talking about how amazing he has been, how fun and carefree he has made the process, and how confident we are that our wedding day will be beautiful. Additionally, the location is gorgeous, and is so budget friendly, needs hardly any decor, has incredible staff, ample parking, delicious food, stunning views, and a lovely ocean breeze. 10/10, 5 stars, A+. Thank you, Michael! Will follow up with another review post-wedding day! -

Stop your venue search and pick Talega!
I feel so blessed to have found Talega as our wedding venue and we had the honor of getting married here in October 2021. Michael and his team are an absolute dream to work with! We started our venue search in January of 2020... after visiting many venues I was starting to feel defeated with being able to find a venue that could host a wedding of our size (150 guests) that wouldn't blow our entire wedding budget, then we found Talega. The venue was beautiful, Michael was so professional and great, the prices were extremely worth the value with so many amenities included, we really felt like we hit the jackpot and immediately booked for March of 2021. Then covid hit and we all know what happened... the entire time Michael was super responsive in keeping us up to date on latest guidelines and policies and in summer of 2020 I reached out seeing if we could push our date out further in 2021. Michael immediately sent us open dates for later in the year and made rescheduling such a breeze. Aside from being so accommodating and flexible, Michael truly puts 100% of his experience and heart into your day. We utilized his services as day of coordinator, and trust me when I say you don't need anyone but Michael to help you on your big day. From slinging chairs, to touching up details, to fluffing your dress, to refilling our champagne cart in the break area, Michael is truly somehow everywhere and right where you need him at same time. As he escorted me around the building before I walked down the aisle, he asked me how I was feeling and I replied "Ready and calm" and in that moment thanked him for everything he had done, I was soooo calm because I knew he had everything handled! In addition to the amazing staff you will find at Talega, the food is seriously the best wedding food you will ever eat. We had so many guests reach out to us after the day that commented on how delicious it was! And the venue is just stunning. It has the classic California mission style architecture with beautiful views, giant windows, market lights in the courtyard, multiple options for table decor included, a sparkler sendoff.... there isn't much more you can ask for out of a venue! So if you're looking at this review and contemplating Talega, book it now... every expectation I had about our wedding day was exceeded and I am so grateful Talega was where we said "I do"-

Best in class!
The venue is gorgeous but even more importantly, the service at Talega Golf Club is best in class. Michael Voorhees runs the show there and his deep experience in this field really stands out. The 5-star reviews about him are true; I was skeptical until we held my daughter’s wedding there. He commits to being 100% at your service and he’s not kidding. -

Everything for a Perfect Wedding
My husband and I truly had an amazing, beautiful, and most perfect wedding thanks to Michael and his team. I felt really lucky to have stumbled on their venue through wedding wire and booked it on my first visit because I just knew it was going to be amazing from talking to Michael and taking a tour!
Communication - Communication was always great. We communicated mostly through email. Did a lot of initial planning on the food tasting day and followed up with emails. I never really had to call for anything because Michael is a real pro. You just gotta trust that he's done hundreds of weddings and just got it.
Price - This is their best quality. They are transparent and upfront from the very start. I was skeptical because I wasn't sure what kind of hidden cost I'd get at the very end. But SURPRISED.. No hidden cost. Theres also decors, table numbers, arches, and various things that they let you use for free. You also get Michael's expertise and contacts which is priceless... He has a list of great, reliable vendors. We ended up using the suggested photographer and officiant. Both never missed a mark. Can't say the same for my other vendors whom I picked myself.
Food - Just incredible. You always hear stories about bad wedding food. Not here. There was a lot of attention put into the food. It was so delicious. Everyone complimented how delicious and filling the food was. There was cheese, drinks, tacos, steak, chicken, etc. the whole shabang. Also, the presentation is something you'd expect from a fancy restaurant. I was sooooo impressed with the food. It was my favorite part of the whole thing.
What sets them apart from other venues is that they are real compassionate people. Willing to work with you though all the ups and down (i had to reschedule my wedding due to the pandemic). They don't nickel and dime you like other venues. Everything you need is there and they cares about every little details so that you don't have to. I can proudly say that I had a stress free wedding in regards to planning and the actual day. I never once felt stressed because all I had to do was pick from a list of everything he had and the perfect day was made.
If I could go back, I'd still pick Talega 100x. We love Talega, Michael and the Team. I need another excuse to throw a party here.-

Best ever. Book this place now!
I honestly cannot even put into words how incredible this venue is, and how valuable the lead venue coordinator (Michael) is. From my initial email to get more information, to the day before, Michael was the most detailed, organized, charismatic, and professional person to work with. Let me just say this: if you are looking to have the perfect wedding and have things done well, book this place ASAP. Michael is so detail oriented and knows everything about how to have a perfect wedding. His recommendations for what to do and not to do are spot on (makes sense given that he has done over 2,000 weddings ... yep, you read that correctly!) I am a total type A, perfectionist, micro-manager, very hard to please person and even I was blown away by how perfect my wedding was! So please, I beg you, book this venue. In a perfect world, if I was super rich, I would PAY YOU to have your wedding here!
So, what makes it so special you may ask? Let's get into it.
1. Michael will take care of practically everything for you. So if you are an organized bride that wants a partner in crime that is equally as organized and invested in your wedding, Michael is your guy!
2. The venue itself is gorgeous! The ceremony space is beautiful and the reception space is tastefully decorated, with a cute foyer and a very spacious bar! The flow of the evening from outdoor ceremony, to cocktail hour, to indoor reception is flawless. And guess who ushers your guests to cocktail hour, points them to the seating chart, encourages them to sign the guestbook, leads them inside, etc ... yep, you guessed it. Michael!
3. THE. FOOD. Most of the reviews you read about Talega will most likely mention the food, and for a good reason. This is NOT your typical wedding food. Repeat. NOT your typical gross, soggy chicken with pasta, wedding food. My guests are still talking about the food, and I will for the rest of my life. TOP TIER. Even the presentation of the food on the plate is beautiful, and very aesthetically pleasing!
4. Vendors recommendations! One of the best things in my opinion was the recommendations I got from Michael about who to choose for things like DJ, Florist, Getaway Car, etc. Like I said earlier, Michael doesn't let you have a bad wedding so you best bet that his endorsement of these vendors goes a long way. And I can sit here today (2 weeks after my wedding) and say that every single person he recommended was incredible! So when I booked Talega I not only checked venue off of the list, but I checked off my florist, DJ, getaway car, and even the cake baker! Because guess what? Included with your price booking of Talega is a bakery in Dana Point. I was able to get a 2-tier wedding cake and around 200 mini desserts. The dessert table looked so good and was set up so tastefully (Michael set it up so of course it looked good)
5. Price and packages! For what you get from Talega the pricing is extremely reasonable and there are NO. HIDDEN. FEES. The price per person that you pay includes tax, service fee, and tip. This makes it so incredibly easy to know what you are getting yourself into financially. Just shoot Michael an email asking for more information and you will get the PDF that tells you everything that is included, which is a lot so you shouldn't have to spend much more when it comes to the venue.
I am running out of words in my review so I will leave it at this: stop the search, BOOK TALEGA! PLEASE! You will look back and thank yourself, I promise.-

Amazing Experience
We just had our wedding at Talega and all I can say is we are blown away at this venue. From start to finish Michael and his team made this such an easy process. The venue was beautiful, our guests raved about the food and service, and Michael was the best coordinator we could have asked for. Thank you Talega for a wonderful wedding! -

The staff (and recommended vendors) were outstanding! Michael (the venue coordinator) was always quick to respond to any concerns or questions my daughter and I had and the venue cannot be beat! It was truly amazing how wonderful everything was -especially given the reasonable price!
Would HIGHLY recommend Talega Golf Club! -

Best planned day of our lives ! Pure magic at Talega.
Michael at Talega is an absolute GEM. If you are thinking about booking Talega for your big day, trust me when I say DO IT! Not only were Michael (& Myra his assistant) there for us the entire process of planning, but the day of the wedding they do every single thing flawlessly for you. We trusted Michael from day one. He is the best of the best. He goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease. He’s been doing this so long that we just knew we could trust him. Not only did he take care of making sure our decor was placed perfectly but we let him take the reigns on those details because it took the stress off of us. The food at Talega is absolutely unreal. We did a dual entree with filet / halibut and our guests are still raving about it. The views at Talega are the perfect Southern California sunshine vibes. Our guests who flew in were stunned by the beauty. I can’t say enough amazing things about Michael and his team. It was a day I’ll never forget.-

Flexible, Fantastic & Fortunate
My (now) husband and I chose this venue primarily because of the level of flexibility and transparency in knowing how much the estimated cost would be for our group, along with the fact that we were not tied to an F&B minimum or expected head count. On top of that, the venue had complimentary décor that we could use, and I made decisions on additional décor that complemented the venue’s décor to save on overall cost. AND on top of that, working with Michael was phenomenal. Not only does he have an amazing and energetic personality, he’s personable, adaptable, and flexible to work with from pre-planning to ‘day of’ logistics. We also hired him as the on-site coordinator to help set up our décor as well as supporting us throughout our wedding day. Because we had one photographer on site, he also assisted the photographer to capture some tunnel location photos, as well. He really went the extra mile time and time again. When we were preparing for postponement since our first date was supposed to be May 2, 2020, he was very communicative about our options and allowed for us to move our date to September 19, 2020, without penalty. Even though our wedding was all outdoors, the weather was simply perfect and the lighting in the evening was the best we could ever hope for. We were so fortunate that we could still have our wedding in 2020 and were grateful to have an intimate and special experience. And don’t forget the food! It was sensational, and our guests absolutely loved the surf and turf entrees. -

Book Now! Best Venue with Best Staff!!
Where to start, Talega made all my wedding dreams come true! The property is gorgeous but it would be nothing without Michael and his staff!! He was an absolute gem all throughout wedding planning, a postponed covid wedding, a replanned wedding and the wedding day!!! We booked this venue a year out from our wedding, its a popular spot don't wait, and are so glad we did. We scheduled multiple meetings with Michael to go over ceremony and reception specifics and he was never bothered. He kept everything so organized and on schedule and had a plan for everything. Michael and his entire staff were nothing short of amazing, the drinks and the food, wow everyone was so impressed!! We ended up having to have everything outside due to covid and had to change so many plans but Michael was on it every step of the way. If you book here you are sure to be in great hands! I may be bias but outside turned out better than I could have ever imagained!! Every detail was beautiful, Michael let us borrow signage, table decorations, etc and it all came together better than I could have ever imagained it. Thank you Michael, Tommy and Staff for everything, you all went above and beyond and made our day absolutely perfect!! Would recommend Talaga to any bride because it is truly that special! -

Don’t think twice!
We were thrilled to work with Michael for over a year planning every detail of our daughter’s wedding for 200 guests in June 2020. Unfortunately, Covid 19 caused Talega to have to cancel the wedding in late May as they were unable to host any large events. Thankfully, our daughter and her fiancé ended up having a dream-come-true wedding at another local venue with just 40 of our closest family and friends. But we would choose Micheal and Talega again in a heartbeat! He hung with us until the very end and was always the consummate professional. Talega will issue us a full refund (not every venue is doing this), and we hope to have a celebration dance party there next year with all of our original guests. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a wonderful team at Talega. For all the reasons we chose them initially and for the way they handled the crisis, we can’t recommend them highly enough! -

We cannot say enough about how amazing this venue and team was! Michael and Tommy went above and beyond to make our day special and exactly what we wanted and made sure it was stress free! Such an amazing value for what you get and we continue to receive compliments about how beautiful everything was and how great the food was! So many people said it was the best wedding food they have ever had and the presentation and service was above and beyond! It was such an amazing day we wish we could relive over and over!-

Wedding of Our Dreams!
Our wedding at Talega Golf Club was everything we dreamed of and more! Michael, Tommy and the rest of their staff, were beyond awesome!
The food was amazing, our family and friends are still talking about it to this day. Their attention to detail helped everything run so smoothly.
Michael also gave us some great advice along the way which also helped immensely during the wedding planning process.
We will always be so grateful for their services and for helping to create one of the best days of our lives. -

Elegance that is beyond exceptional
When going through the search process, we considered a dozen venues and were initially sold on The Villa, SJC. We put down our deposit as we thought that it was perfect for us. Unfortunately, a mere four months from our wedding date, we came to the realization that the Villa had exorbitant hidden fees, and were a hassle to deal with. For instance, The Villa estimated $1,500 in basic rentals with upgrades being slightly more; however, when we got our proposal from Signature Rentals (which you had to use, as the Villa has nothing on site and Signature is their preferred/only vendor), the rentals alone were $7,000. Plus, their wedding coordinator (that you are required to hire, at your expense) was charging her fee just to tell you what you couldn’t do. And, if by chance you were able to get approval do to something, there was going to be an additional fee. From lighting to entertainment to parking to equipment, everything was going to be taxed with an extra fee from the Villa. It was finally evident to us that the coordinator was not on our side, and The Villa was more about charging fees, as opposed to creating a special memory for us.
It was at this point, we called Michael and Tommy at Talega; by some miracle, Talega was available on the exact day of our wedding! Michael and Tommy were our wedding angels from that moment forward. Talega bent over backwards to make our day so magical and straightforward. There were no hidden costs like our first venue, and the pricing was laid out in a clear and understandable manner, with absolutely no surprises. Everything was included, from the linens, dinnerware, tables & chairs, a full bar, food, decorations, servers, etc. Talega knows exactly what is needed to put on a fabulous wedding and they make sure that they are well equipped with the essentials. Michael and Tommy even went out of their way to make our wedding even more special by accommodating outside entertainment at no additional fee or hassle. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue, or about the individuals running it. Our wedding guests were speechless over how beautiful everything looked, how delicious the food tasted and how great the service was. Talega really goes above and beyond to ensure that the wedding planning process is truly about the couple and their guests. Understanding something so simple gives Talega elegance that is beyond exceptional. Bravo! Since then, Talega has been the family venue of preference for special occasions and big announcements, just because we continue to have such a wonderful experience working with Michael and Tommy.-

May Wedding
We had such a positive experience with Talega hosting and planning our wedding. Collectively the dream became a reality- the tables were gorgeous, the food was delicious (not your average wedding food), the stress was alleviated with Michael and Tommy stepping up big, and so much more. They are a pleasure to work with and their staff are amazing. The workers seemed to like what they were doing and were good at it ; which made for a good positive vibe. Overall we were very happy to have picked this venue -

Absolutely Amazing!!!
Where to begin with Talega Golf Club… the venue is breathtaking, the staff is amazing, and Michael and Tommy are the best wedding coordinators you will ever work with. From the very beginning Michael is very responsive and helpful. He will walk you through every step of the wedding planning process, and responds right away with any questions you may have. Our wedding day went perfectly thanks to these two. They managed to keep the day stress free, and kept everything on schedule. Our family and friends raved about the venue and claimed it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. The staff was so kind to our guests, and very accommodating to any special needs they had. Talega Golf Club, Michael, and Tommy will completely exceed all your wedding expectations, and you will not regret choosing this venue for your special day!-

So so so thankful we chose Talega!
Talega Golf Club provided a seamless experience for planning our wedding from start to finish. The wedding experts, Michael and Tommy, were communicative, professional, hospitable, and caring the entire way through. Michael helped us plan our onsite ceremony and reception at Talega in FOUR months, and the day was absolutely perfect because of him and the entire Talega staff (including the vendors we worked with per their recommendation). No detail went unnoticed! Last but not least, the food and drinks were amazing; from the cocktail hour appetizers, to the late night snacks. We've heard from many friends and family that it was one of the best weddings they have attended, and we know it was because of the people at Talega. -

The BEST venue in Southern California!
Talega is absolutely the best venue in Southern California! We visited many venues in the area in search of the perfect place to get married, once we met Michael and Tommy we knew Talega was it. Let me start by saying, these guys are truly the dream team! From the minute we met with them they really took the time to get to know us and what we envisioned for our wedding. They helped guide us through the planning process with examples, great suggestions and were always a phone call or email away. These guys and their staff really know what they are doing and it allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding. They created a magical day that we will never forget.
The packages that Talega offers are very reasonable for what you are receiving. All of the extras that are included make such a difference. The food, drinks, presentation, and hospitality are top notch. We still have guests raving about the food!
If you are looking for a venue, look no futher! Talega is more than just a venue, the people are like family. We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding there! A million thank yous to Michael, Tommy and their team! -

Best Decision Ever
My husband and I have the best day of our lives in Talega! All thanks to Michael and Tommy! They are both very professional, communicative, and responsive. To have our wedding in Talega is the best decision I made. The foods are absolutely delicious. All my guests gave so much compliments about the foods and overall service. We are very appreciate all the hard works to all the staffs. From beginning to the end, everything is very easy with Michael. He makes sure we don't have to worry too much since we do not have a coordinator. In addition, you don't have to spend extra money just because is during holiday weekend. Many other places charged you 20% more because the date you want to get married, but Talega make sure every day is equally important to the bride and groom. Thank you Michael and Tommy, and the rest of the staff in Talega! -

The most incredible venue and wedding coordinators
Where do I even begin! Our wedding is still talked about months later due to the amazing venue, food, and the incredible wedding coordinators (Michael and Tommy)
From the moment I walked in I knew that our wedding would go smoothly based off how precise, attention to detail, and hospitable Michael was! He answered every email, every minuscule question, and always was professional and kind.
Our guests can’t stop ranting about how amazing the food was, and how beautiful the wedding turned out! Everything from the cocktail hour to the duet entrees, to the sparkler exit, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to say “ I do.”
Thank you Michael and team for making my our wedding so amazing, and for everything you did for us throughout the entire year! We recommend Talega Golf Club with the highest regards .

Amazing!
Michael, Tommy and the team were beyond perfect. They went above and beyond our expectations. They made wedding planning a lot less stressful especially since I planned the wedding in about 5 months. SO many great things were included in the package and after looking about 20 venues, I am glad this one was the last one. I just knew this was the right choice for us!

Michael and his team created a truly magical wedding event! They were all so professional, positive and accommodating- we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue/reception. We would recommend them to everyone! We are so appreciative of Michael and his team! WOW! Candice and Jim-

Friendly, supportive, on top of it!
I had an amazing experience at Talega! Michael and tommy were amazing! They made us comfortable and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! As the day of coordinator they told us when to do everything so I just enjoyed myself and didn’t stress at all on the day. I brought decorations, gifts, and games which they set all up for me. Gorgeous view!!! It was a beautiful spot for pictures! Food and drinks were delicious and service was fabulous! I loved having my wedding there!!! -

Above and Beyond Customer Service, Beautiful Venue!!!
My fiancé and I were so wowwed by Michael, Tommy, and his staff. My fiancé and I came here for a wedding tour and it was the most memorable tour we’ve ever had. Michael took the time to give us all the details for the venue as well as gave us great money saving tips. All the beautiful decor would be included. I appreciate their simple package options. Michael and his team were very hospitable and made us feel so welcome. Michael is an amazing asset to this company! Gosh, he really stands out as a super star! We did not end up going with this venue, because we selected a venue that was more convenient for our guests. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Talega for your wedding venue, because Michael and his team will definitely take care of you and your guests! -

Amazing Venue and Team!
We just had our wedding at Talega this past weekend and from our very first visit, I knew we were at the right place. Talega a beautiful venue set on a gorgeous golf course , with the ceremony and reception areas looking out onto the green. When I met Michael (who is Talega's onsite event planner who has done this job for more than 20 years) and got a glimpse of his experience - I knew he would eliminate a lot of the normal stresses that every bride faces during the wedding planning process and on the day of her wedding. My intuition about him was not wrong - every single detail was taken care of, they set the venue up so beautifully, and what is included at Talega (from chairs, to ivory linens, to votive candles, sparklers for the grand exit, etc.) made it so much easier for me to focus on the bigger details. They work with a wide range of vendors which also eliminates the stress of having to shop around, although you are not tied to using their preferred reps (which many may also appreciate). As we visited leading up to our wedding, we also got to know Tommy who is just as amazing as Michael. They make a wonderful team! We absolutely loved our day and I have been relishing in my wedding day and how perfect it was. Even my bridesmaids (who dealt a lot with Tommy and Michael at rehearsal and day of) couldn't believe the level of detail and professionalism - they were blown away that the on-site coordinators were so amazing! It's more than a job, it's a passion for them and something they are great at! All of the guests raved about food - seriously delish! From the tray passed apps, to the duet dinner entree, the cake and other desserts we selected - it was beyond! I highly, highly recommend Talega. I could not have made a better choice for my wedding day.-

Wow! We had our amazing wedding at Talega Golf Club on 9/8/18 and we are still getting compliments from guests on everything from the food to the lovely setup. All of the previous reviews about Michael, Tommy and the rest of the Talega team are accurate - they all went above and beyond to make sure that every detail of our wedding was perfect. Michael and his team added the most value by providing many things that other venues simply did not, such as chiavari chairs, gold chargers, easels and other essential wedding items. My family and I brought over several items to our rehearsal dinner and were just amazed at how beautifully they were all set up when we arrived for our wedding the next day. Working with such a thoughtful and experienced team made our wedding truly go off without a hitch and we could not be more grateful for them! On a personal note, my now husband and I planned our wedding from the East Coast and found that the entire process was a lot easier having Michael by our side, responding to any questions we had and offering suggestions for different local vendors which helped narrow our search significantly. Overall, if you are looking for a gorgeous venue that places a high value on quality of food, service and execution, you should look no further than Talega. Thank you again Michael, Tommy and the rest of the wonderful team at Talega!! -

Outstanding...in every sense of the word! When my daughter and son-in-law chose Talega, they wanted everyone to enjoy the moment and not worry about any of the work or details...and did we enjoy! We all had so much fun, and the wedding was absolutely beautiful!
I had so many guests come up to me and tell me that not only was it gorgeous, but that it was the best wedding that they had ever attended. The food was equivalent to a five star restaurant, and attention was given to every detail of their wedding.
Michael and his staff went way beyond our expectations in every sense of the word. When I say they were fabulous, it doesn’t even begin to say how wonderful they were. They cared about every small detail that the bride and groom wanted. They took their wedding dream wish and turned it into a reality.
If you want to have your dream wedding come true, this is definitely the place to go.
We haven’t received the professional pictures yet, but here are some cell phone pics to show just how beautiful it was.

My wedding here this past weekend was amazing!!! We had a beautiful stress free wedding. Michael and Tommy are the best. Every detail was perfect, the food was outstanding, the venue was incredible...I can't rave enough about them. Everyone said we had the best wedding they had ever been to! What a beautiful romantic venue.
Michael is my personal hero-he made our dreams come true! We could not have asked for a better person or venue to have had our wedding. Through the entire process Michael answered every email immediately. He and the rest of the Talega staff are incredible! Lots of love to everyone at Talega! And a big ol' hug and kiss for Michael and Tommy!! We love you guys!!
Brides and Grooms- Please do yourself a favor and book this venue! You will not find a better location or better people to work with! -

You would be stupid if you did not pick this venue to get married at! I just had my wedding last Saturday at Talega and it was FLAWLESS! The entire process was easy and simple and there was not one issue at all. EVERYONE of my guests came up to me telling me how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the enitre wedding was. I even still have people posting photos from the wedding saying how great my coordinators were. You would be making the biggest mistake of your life if you dont pick this venue. Michael and Tommy have every deatil down to a science. They did all the work to make sure everything came out perfectly and it did! They even went out their way to make sure Dannya nd I were happy the entire time during the reception and we had drinks in our hands. There are not enough words to explain how amanzing this place is. Just go check it out and you will be sold on the first visit.-

Our day was ABSOLUTELY a DREAM COME TRUE!! Thank you Michael & crew for making our dreams become a reality!! We stumbled upon this venue based on a recommendation from our Wedding Planner, and we are so glad that we did. The beautiful thing with the space is you can truly make it your own Southern California wedding experience. Since we got married in a Catholic Church, we used this as our reception venue. We booked our wedding 16 months before our big day and didn't have any issues reserving the space. The Talega team was very easy to contact if we ever needed them throughout our engagement. We were blown away with how organized (and delicious!) our tasting was, and how they allowed us to create our own specialty cocktail!! Since we got married on a holiday weekend (4th of July), we weren't sure how many guests were going to be able to attend. We booked the venue anticipating 200 and had 115. It was truly a perfect fit, and I honestly don't know if I would pack more than 150 people in the room because it would be quite cramped!
On the actual day of the wedding, our other vendors all commented on how easy Talega was to work with on the day-of. Dropoffs of rentals/pickups was managed flawlessly. When we arrived, we took pictures and then headed into dinner. We loved how they saved us appetizers and the entree, and Michael was sure to make sure we had time to eat, and kept people away from our sweetheart table. It was so sweet to be able to enjoy our first few moments as a married couple just us. They made sure we were able to stay on schedule and dance the night away, and even sent us home with wedding cake. Absolutely wish we could get married every weekend AT Talega!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!-

We got married here back in October 2016. There aren't enough words to say how amazing Michael and Tommy were through the whole planning process and especially on the day of. They made sure our big day went off without a hitch. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and the food was delicious. All our guests kept telling us it was the best wedding food they ever had. Thank you so much Michael and Tommy for making our special day so unforgettable!!! -

My husband and I had our wedding here on January 13, 2018 and were so incredibly happy that we chose Talega as our venue! The club and the golf course are absolutely stunning and the ambiance was perfect. The food was excellent and the staff were kind, responsive, and overall outstanding! Seriously, our friends and family have been raving about the food nonstop! Michael and Tommy ensured that the whole day went off without a hitch and were lovely to work with throughout the whole process. They were especially terrific on the day of the wedding and went out of their way to make sure that everything went smoothly. If you are in search of a venue you should definitely take a look at Talega - you won't regret it! -

The service was extraordinary! The best venue you can find hands down. Michael helped with every part of the process. He takes weddings seriously and knows what he is doing. You won’t find more caring wonderful people anywhere else. On top of that the venue is gorgeous and you can add your personal touches to really make it your own. I have recieved a ton of compliments on the food. It is delicious! If you choose this venue you won’t be disappointed. I am tearing up now writing this because of how wonderful the day was, it really was magical and I’m so happy with the experience. Tommy thank you too for making the day of flow so well!

Talega Golf Club is by far the best wedding venue to host your magical day! Not only is it an absolutely beautiful location, but it is also run by the best wedding team you will find, Michael and Tommy. We felt so at ease upon meeting Michael and knew immediately that he was more interested in us having the best day of our lives than selling the venue. We met with Michael a few more times and had the privilege of meeting his assistant, Tommy, as well. What a dynamic duo! They walk you through all of the options and tailor everything to your exact vision for your wedding. Michael gave me numerous recommendations for wedding vendors, and I must say thanks to him, we hired the dream team! When we went to Talega for our tasting, we were absolutely blown away by the food!! Everything is ordered and prepared on site. We were able to taste our potential hors d’oeuvres, salads, and dinner entrees. The food is elegant, fresh, and hands-down the most delicious food. They took their time with details and made sure that everything was flawless. Michael always responded very promptly to emails. When my wedding day arrived, I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful everything was set up. Every detail we had talked about was executed perfectly, and I felt so relaxed knowing that Michael and Tommy would make sure everything ran smoothly. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my magical day without any worries whatsoever. All of my guests raved about the wedding and were so impressed with everything. They also could not believe how delicious the food was! Michael and Tommy go above and beyond to make sure that your magical day is everything you ever wished it would be. Their customer service is unmatched by others, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Talega Golf Club and truly wish I could experience the day over and over! I would give them more than a 5 star rating if I could! -

I do not even know where to start. My husband actually found this as our wedding venue because he golfed here years ago and remembered how pretty it was. When we went for our first meeting with Michael I knew instantly this is where we were going to be married. Talega is absolutely gorgeous and Michael and Tommy are the best team. They went above and beyond for us in both planning and executing our big day. Michael responds to emails super quickly and he is always ready to help. He knows all the best vendors in the area and he is very honest when you ask his opinion. He is also very open about budget and helped us greatly when we were so confused on what to spend money on. On the wedding day him and Tommy were everywhere, making sure everything ran smoothly and kept the party going! We had a sparkler send off at the end and the images from it are stunning. If I could write a book on how much I love Talega, Michael and Tommy I would. If you choose this as your venue you will NOT be disappointed. I should also note 75% of our wedding guests were out of state and they still rave about how amazing and beautiful the day was. Oh! and the FOOD! Food is sooo good! and Drinks too! Michael is very specific on taste and presentation, definitely things you want for a wedding venue! It was the best day and the best place, we wouldn't change a thing! #TeamTalega -

From the first email message till the day after our wedding, Talega Golf Club's team was on top of its game. From the very beginning of the process, Michael Voorhees and Tommy were in control and running the show; and there was never a doubt that they would pull together all of what I wanted for my wedding and reception. The service was flawless from beginning to the end. Michael is very welcoming and helpful - he offered multiple food and wine tastings, decorations and place settings, and wedding and reception ideas. The food was amazing! I am so glad that I chose Michael and Tommy to help us with our wedding! Michael and Tommy are truly amazing, and I cannot thank them enough for helping to make my wedding and reception dreams come true. -

We hired Michael and Tommy last month to take care of our wedding day and it was the best decision we made throughout the process. These two gentlemen were so helpful and supportive over the wedding prep and the big day itself. Talega is beautiful but Michael and Tommy make Talega the best spot for a wedding in SoCal. They were accommodating and flexible to every request and our guests raved about their service and attention to detail. The food was amazing and the event ran so smooth. Pick Talega for your next event and we promise they won't disappoint.

My husband and I searched every possible venue in Orange County and were just about to change our plan and get married in Nashville because of costs when he thought to reach out to Talega (he had previously golfed there). Thank goodness he did! Once we met Michael and I saw the absolutely amazing price per guest and everything they included, we knew booking Talega was a NO BRAINER.
Michael and his assistant, Tommy, were incredible from start to finish. SO responsive, SO flexible and just SO perfect. Our guests even commented how professional and warm they were during the wedding. Any special requests or adjustments we had, they did - no questions. Most venues in Orange County don't allow you much flexibility in regards to outside vendors, but Talega couldn't be more accommodating.
Michael can act as your primary planner, or alongside a planner you hire separately. He's absolutely amazing, and really cares about each couple and their special day. If you're looking for the best deal in Orange County, PLEASE do yourself a favor and visit Talega. You won't be disappointed with the level of service, beautiful property, and amazing food...and best of all, you can have your dream wedding while staying in budget! Such a hidden gem! -

My husband Seth and I had our wedding at Talega just this past weekend (12-10-16). There are not enough words to describe how amazing Michael, Tommy and the entire staff are! They made our wedding flawless! From the very first time we stepped foot on to the venue, Michael and Tommy always went the extra step to make sure we always had everything we needed. They were incredibly helpful during the entire planning process and were in constant contact with us. Every email and phone call was returned within a timely manner, and when you're planning a wedding.... boy is that important! They made the planning process so easy and even helped with last minute details.
The wedding day itself was just perfect! Michael and Tommy, the catering staff... everyone was so attentive to us and all of our guests. They made sure everyone had everything they needed at all times! They made the entire night run so smoothly and helped me feel so relaxed and able to enjoy my special night. If you're looking for a venue for your wedding or special event... I would highly recommend Talega! You will be blown away at the service and beautiful venue. I had my dream wedding here and I wouldn't change a thing!! I am so thankful and grateful to Michael, Tommy and the entire Talega staff!! -

Michael was flexible, friendly and helpful! Talega included so many items that made planning easy and stress-free, including decor/signage, votives, cake, tux for the groom and complimentary tasting for both our families! We felt we got a really great value for a beautiful venue. Our guests raved about the food as well! -

Michael and his team are hands down the best in the business. I worked for an event planner for four years in college and coordinated weddings at some of the most high scale venues. Talega is a hidden gem in South Orange County. From the second my husband and I met Michael I knew I could trust him to make sure our day was perfect. He pays attention to every little detail and makes sure that all your guests are well taken care of. The food is by far the best food I have ever eaten at a wedding. Not only is it delicious but it is presented beautifully to all the guests. It has been 7 months since our wedding and our guests still talk about every little detail from ours. My cousin even decided to get married at Talega and use all of our vendors because they were so impressed. Talega and Michael are worth every little penny. We can't thank them enough! -

We had the best experience at Talega!! We've been married just about 3 months now and we keep talking about how fabulous our wedding was! We've received so many compliments from people who were guests...they have said things like "that was the best wedding I've ever been to!". Michael and Tommy are in charge over there...we used them as our coordinators also for the day of and everything went flawlessly. They are super organized and had answers for every question I could have asked. When planning our wedding many people told us 'something can and will go wrong- just roll with it'...well...nothing went wrong! Tommy made sure we were able to eat during our reception also! He rocks! This venue is a really great value for your money; we got everything we wanted. We looked at so many places when we were trying to select a venue and everything was so expensive with so many hidden costs etc. not Talega. Michael was very straightforward with costs and helped us with our budget. Talega Golf Club is beautiful- you look like you're somewhere in Italy. We had the best time and couldn't recommend this place enough! There is a reason there are so many good reviews about Talega!! -

Beautiful venue and wonderful people! Michael, the venue coordinator, with his team and Tommy, are the major reasons why my now husband and I chose the venue. It was a beautiful location and had the unique opportunity to take pictures elsewhere on the property, including the underground tunnels, which was awesome. Michael was so accommodating and put up with me in the months leading up to the wedding as I constantly changed my mind on design, and he allowed me to come around and do table mock ups multiple times. The menu is diverse and whatever you choose, the food is delicious! The service on the day of was seamless from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner and reception. Michael and Tommy worked wonderfully with my wedding coordinators and other vendors and everything came together beautifully on the big day. Michael and Tommy were definitely the best for the job at the beautiful venue of Talega Golf Club to help make a flawless day from start to sparkler exit! -

Both my Husband and I LOVED getting married at Talega Golf Club! We knew as soon as we met Michael and saw the facility that we wanted to get married there. Once we signed our contract with the facility, Michael and his team helped us plan for our wedding six months out! They had so many resources for us to use and had great vendors for us to network with (for only the DJ, Photographer and Flowers; EVERYTHING ELSE WAS TAKEN CARE OF!) The team went out of their way to make sure all of our questions were answered and needs were met as we approached our big day. Michael even let me take the photographer on the property before the event to scout out the best places to take photos, hint: there are many many many photo spots to choose from. The day before we were able to rehearse on site and that process went smoothly as well. The day of our wedding Michael and his team handled coordinating all the vendors, family members and pre-ceremony photos. Then when guests arrived their staff made sure everyone felt comfortable and ready to have a good time. If there were any hiccups in our day, my husband, family and I don't know about them because Michael and his team took such great care of us! The courtyard where the ceremony was held and the reception hall were both beautiful and we couldn't believe how lovely our wedding turned out. Michael and his team did so many big and small details on our behalf. For example, at the end of the night they packed us some champagne and cake for us to enjoy on our wedding night. It has been over two weeks since our wedding and I still hear outstanding reviews about Talega Golf Club from our family and friends. We have been told by many of them that our wedding was the best wedding they have been to and we can thank Talega Golf Club for making that possible! -

Congrats, you just found the perfect venue!
After a string of attending destination weddings, (therefore spending a hefty sum to attend each) I committed myself to getting married as close to home as possible; to avoid costing my guests tons in hotel bills, gas, food, travel time, etc. My husband and I visited dozens of venues in the Los Angeles area and were either blown away by price or left wanting something substantially more. Finally - we started looking in Orange County (Wedding Venue Mecca) and had so many more beautiful options. Even with the upgraded search area and longer list of venues to tour; at our first visit - we knew immediately that Talega was the place for us.
We met with Michael and were immediately blown away by his demeanor, professionalism and most of all, enthusiasm. It was clear that he has found his calling - I hope, for every bride's sake...he never stops doing this! I've heard so many stories and unfortunately experienced lackluster customer service from vendors who obviously are tired by this work; and don't take to heart that this is probably the most frustrating, stressful, expensive thing a couple has yet experienced.
Michael and his assistant Tommy (sorry if I've downplayed your title at all, love!!) were the perfect balance of enthusiastic, knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. I never once felt that I was not the most important bride on their roster; and had exactly what I needed from them - no matter if that changed from day to day! All of their suggestions were 100% spot on - and never did I experience a moment of condescension. I did not hire a separate planner, Michael and Tommy were 10000% all I needed!
Everything venue-related ended up perfect on the big day. I still get compliments on the amazing food that was served. The staff was so perfect, the grounds were absolutely gorgeous, and Michael and Tommy ensured that EVERYTHING ran smoothly/on schedule. Thank you guys, so very much!!!

PERFECT. Everything at Talega Golf Club was perfect!!
If you are looking for a beautiful, reasonably priced, professional, and overall great wedding experience then contact Michael at Talega! We planned our wedding from 4,000 miles away and I have nothing but overwhelming positive things to say about what an amazing and incredible job the staff at Talega did.
Michael gave an initial presentation that was out of this world. He then worked with us to accommodate our budget, and needs - he really listened to what we wanted and made sure that we felt special through the entire process. We looked at lots of venues and NONE were on par with Michael and Talega. Michael handled each step of the process so smoothly, with utmost professionalism, and he made the day seamless.
The team at Talega was nothing short of wonderful too. Tommy, Michael's assistant was so attentive to us during the day of - and he was always nearby to see if we needed anything. We even enjoyed having him in a few photos!
Nothing was out of place - the staff served dinner impeccably and in time, the bartenders handled our rowdy crowd, and at the end of the night all of our guests left with nothing but praise. The grounds are impeccably kept and we couldn't ask for a better setting.
To all couples out there, Michael and the team at Talega are the ONLY way to go!
We can't say thank you enough, and we will forever be grateful for their wonderful effort! -

This venue was such a pleasure to work with. We looked all over and ended up booking with Talega mainly because of Michael, the Director there. He is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and he really does EVERYTHING he can to make sure your wedding is your dream wedding. He is also very timely with his responses. He is very well known throughout the wedding industry for being so amazing at what he does. You will not go wrong with choosing this as your venue especially because it is very affordable compared to other places. Our wedding turned out beautiful and it is also a very easy layout with the ceremony/reception areas being so close to each other. -

My husband and I looked a 10 different South Orange County Wedding Venues. We knew, however, Talega would be the one. It was the last venue we looked at and we booked that day! Michael Voorhees and his assistant, Tommy, are professional, flexible and provide a word-class service every bride & groom deserves. Michael's response time was impeccable and he offered great vendor recommendations (we booked three of his recommendations). He was so helpful and went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and perfect. The little details he did without asking were noticed by my husband and I. My family complimented how great he treated them and saw how awesome he was to us and to our guests.
Everything about Talega is classy; from the food to the cake to the decor. The food is delicious; our guests are still complementing it today. Talega is everything you want for your dream wedding to be, and it was ours. The setting, with the archways and sparkler exit, is timeless and very romantic. Michael did a fantastic job moving guests around throughout the wedding. It made the event flow without any hiccups. He checked in on us to ensure we were fed, happy and stress free. He truly made our experience memorable.
My husband and I couldn't be happier with Talega Golf Club and with Michael Voorhees. The venue and Michael are the best of the best.
