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,...

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.

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.

Stephanie + Tony,
These comments about your wedding day bring me pure joy. I genuinely enjoyed assisting you and your sweet and caring mother in bringing about the big day in a way you could all enjoy. Feedback like this validates my career, and also reminds me of why I entered the wedding profession - to make people happy. Thank you and wishing you all the best of everything always!

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...

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...

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!

Best Wedding Ever

Ryan and I recently got married and had our reception at the Talega Golf Club. Everything was laid out perfectly and any changes or inquires we had when planning was met with quick responses. Many of our guest mentioned that this was the best wedding they have been to thanks to Michael and the brilliant staff.

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!

Amy + Paras! On behalf of Myra, the staff, and myself we offer our most sincere congratulations and gratitude for taking time to write and post this review!! I especially wanted to highlight your flexibility regrading the look for the ceremony candles( due to the rain that we just narrowly missed), and for your remarkable generosity and character. It was such a pleasure serving such a sweet couple!!!

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!

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!

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...

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!

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...

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!

INCREDIBLE!!!! Everything we could have ever dreamed of happened because of Michael and the beautiful Talega golf course. INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. We are sooo thankful for everything that Michael did. He went above and beyond!! Everyone said it was the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding.. And our signature drink... OMG. It was better than a cocktail bar.. Multiple guest asked me the next coming weeks how it was made to get it again. Everything was so beautiful and I seriously cannot thank ENOUGH the staff and how hard of a worker Michael is. THANK YOU. Seriously cried of happiness looking at how beautiful the event space was the day of. THANK YOU!

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...

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!

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....

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"

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...

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.

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!

Best Day Ever

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.

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.

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...

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!
