The Orchard by Wedgewood Weddings Reviews

Our wedding day went perfectly and was so magical, and that was all thanks to the incredible team at The Orchard. Originally, I was planing out of state, so finding an all-inclusive venue was a necessity. My parents actually did the tour in person for me and through the kindness, helpfulness, and enthusiasm of all the staff, it was easy to say yes to this venue even though I was 1500 miles away. I was booked for over two years before my actual event and every single step of the way, one of the amazing venue coordinators was there to answer any questions or help out. Krystle, Kevin, Anissa, Desarai, & Brandon made the planning process so simple and fun!
Having all of the preferred vendors through the venue was incredible as well; almost every single preferred vendor I used through The Orchard, and my experiences with them were just as, if not more, incredible than my experience is with the team at Wedgewood. Will, Brandon Miller, Abbie, Scarlet, and Andrea made our wedding night one I will always remember and cherish. I truly had the best experience from setting up a first tour to the end of our night saying goodbye to everyone, and I highly recommend to anyone who wants their wedding planning to be fun! Thank you guys so much for celebrating with us!!

The day I found Wedgewood was a day in the stars for my husband and me. From the first meeting, I felt listened to, cared for, and experienced a level of dedication, genuineness, and above-and-beyond quality for an unbeatable price. I love your company, and your team, and my day was perfect. I cannot recommend and thank you enough!

The Orchard itself as a venue is so beautiful without being over the top or overwhelming! We did not have to do much to decorate because of this. The staff is beyond amazing! From wedding prep to our wedding day, everyone was beyond helpful, kind, and welcoming. They helped make our day amazing and bring our dreams come true. They were flexible in everything and open to new ideas that we had such as an ofrenda and elotero at our wedding. We wanted to have an enchanted forest and fairytale vibe to the day, and we got that and more!

I put my best friend/maid of honor to work at my wedding and was expecting to be put to work for hers, but the venue did it all. When we arrived to get ready everything was set up just how she envisioned it. The bride was so relaxed and stress-free all day. The venue itself was also beautiful. It felt like you were tucked away in a magical little forest. If I went back to my wedding, I would definitely go with a Wedgewood Weddings venue.

I attended an event at this venue, and it was so gorgeous! It's definitely a hidden gem, once you walk through the tunnel it's like you're in a different world. It's especially beautiful at night with all the twinkle lights and the pond. The staff working the event was great and super friendly, and the food was amazing! It's still conveniently located to Temecula which was nice. Would definitely recommend this venue!

This was the best decision we've ever made. The Orchard, really is a hidden gem. From the outside it looks like just a nice parking lot (LOL). But once you walk through that tunnel, you enter a beautiful little world that's all yours. They have great prices, great services and incredible people.

Their packages are perfect and come with partner vendors to choose from for all the services you may need and Krystle our coordinator ensured our day went off without a hitch. John at JW Photography, Chelsea and Ness at Fuse Beauty, Bo Cakes, Tom at JC Entertainment, and everyone at Floral Sensations delivered beautiful services with grace and care.

I cannot explain how amazing!!

Their service is excellent. I was a “destination” bride and their whole team made it so easy to check in and make decisions about the wedding, food, everything. The big day they made sure it was everything we dreamed of and more. I would wholeheartedly recommend them!

This was the most beautiful wedding. Everyone who was involved was absolutely incredible and so supportive and was dedicated to making your big day special! Highly recommend!

When we found the Orchard, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. With the whismy of the pond and waterfall in the background, it had the perfect backdrop for our fantasy themed wedding. The food was delicious, the open bar was excellent (they even made our custom request bride and groom themed cocktails!). By far the best wedding and venue I have been to or been a part of!

The staff was very accommodating and quick to reply to every inquiry. They made my wedding day go swiftly with a great attitude.

I just had my wedding ceremony and reception at The Orchard. I was so pleased with how everything turned out. It was all perfect (food, location, etc.), and the staff was so kind and helpful, especially Aaron, Brandon, and Gary. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and went according to plan. I did not have to stress about any of the wedding logistics, as they took care of all of it-- this was truly a blessing. I would highly recommend this venue, especially if you are looking for a place that is surrounded by nature, affordable, beautiful and all-inclusive.

Wedgewood Weddings Orchard was so wonderful!!! It was everything my husband I wanted it to be & more. It's truly a secret garden. Over the years, I have watched my friends have really stressful wedding planning & wedding day experiences. I wanted to enjoy the planning process, and not feel exhausted on my wedding day. I didn't want any relatives to have to work the day of either (setting up/tearing down/cooking/decorating​). We loved our wedding experience! They took care of all the planning​, and we still got to do all of the fun stuff. They were always so patient with financial planning & were kind and professional. The food, cake, DJ, and venue were all SO beautiful. We highly recommend! Thank you again Wedgewood!

A magical hidden gem.
Our venue was a great hidden gem. No one expected that beautiful little oasis after going through the tunnel. Our venue was big enough to accomadate our guest list of 130 perfectly. We had a garden boho kinda feel wedding and The Orchard was perfect for it. The outdoor garden feel helped a lot to not need many floral arrangements. I loved loved loved our venue.

We had our wedding here March 1st and it was absolutely amazing! It was very cold and we thought it was going to rain so they set up a tent and some heaters for us and it still looked beautiful. I was skeptical about the tent but it really did add to the look. The fountain in the pond shot off after we said “I do” and they kept them on all night (which was awesome). The food was sooo good too. A lot of our guest commented on how good the food was! I would highly recommend, especially because everything is mostly included and if there is a vendor or something else you want to bring in, they don’t mind at all (We brought In our own Officiant-Bethel Nathan and Photographer-Tessa Thewes). Their DJ provided us with a CD of all our music that was played and the venue also provided us with an inexpensive photo booth, which made for great photo memories! Amanda was our coordinator and she helped with all of the details you forget during the stressful process of planning. We will forever remember this day and what a great experience we had with The Orchard at Wedgewood!

The orchard staff is amazing, so professional and made everything simple and seamless. I cannot say thank you enough for how perfect everything turned out. The venue itself is simply beautiful, it is a green oasis in Southern California that looks like it belongs in the Georgia. It gives you secret garden vibes with its lush greenery and lily pad pond with a white gazebo. You will not be disappointed.

Wedgewood at the orchard is absolutely amazing in every way, shape, and form. The staff is absolutely amazing, the venue is stunningly beautiful, and the packages make planning stress free and easy. Not to mention the affordability! I’m so in love with this venue, and I highly recommend!

Growing up in Menifee you think you know all of the nooks and crannies in our little town, but tucked away in an unremarkable corner is the most beautiful little oasis. Driving up to it (or past it) won't impress, but hold your opinion until you walk inside. The archway entrance opens to a beautiful gazebo overlooking the cutest little pond, complete with fish swimming around. To the right is the reception area which can hold plenty of tables and chairs for any small to medium size wedding. My brother got married here a few months ago, and we had the best time. I highly recommend checking it out. Just make sure you pick a day that avoids the Menifee heat!

Everything about this venue was perfection! Me and my wife got everything that we wanted. But the best part about this venue for me was the staff. Before the wedding even started, I got to talk to all the staff for a bit and they are some of the coolest people ever. I was very impressed with the food, and how our coordinator Gina was so on top of everything. We barely had to do anything when it came to planning. I would recommend this venue to everybody!

I was maid of honor in The Petty's wedding, and this was the most gorgeous venue I have ever seen. Landscaping was kept up, and the food was excellent! Everyone had such a good time dancing in the gazebo and taking photos under the lit up tunnel! Best night ever, thank you Wedgewood Weddings Orchard!

I am truly stunned by this venue and everything about it! When I walked through the greenery tunnel I was breathless at how beautiful the venue was and how well kept it was. It felt like I was in another world. Besides the gorgeous venue itself, the staff were some of the sweetest people I have ever met. From all my small trips there to have meetings, making payments, quick drop-ins, etc., they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and got everything that I wanted. On the day of, the staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They were constantly checking up on me to make sure everything was going the way I wanted it to, seeing if I needed anything, and accommodating my bridal party and guests so kindly. They made sure me and my husband had water, snacks, and they had dinner served to us at our tables right away. My guests also constantly commented on how beautiful the venue was and how excellent the staff was. They also have the BEST wedding coordinators ever! And the BEST food!

I could say so much about this venue and the people that work here. Don’t look any further for a venue. You will be taken care of from start to finish and your whole experience will be like a dream if you choose this venue.

I hope I get an excuse to come back here and enjoy everything again!

I have worked via email with a few people getting details about pricing, their outside vendor regulations, time frames etc. Every single person that I dealt with was incredible! They were quick to respond and were never pushy. I decided to tour the venue and it was absolutely gorgeous. I refuse to look at any other venues. The pictures do not do this venue any justice! I was able to build a very affordable wedding package with Aaron with all of my wishes being accounted for! I cannot wait to say my “I Do’s” at this venue!

We absolutely loved our wedding at The Orchard! It rained on our wedding day however everything was taken care of seamlessly. Heaters and tents were set up for our guests (no additional charge) and the venue was like a fairytale on the water. Guests were raving about the food and we even got to eat and enjoy the food also and loved it! The entire staff was was friendly and easy to work with. We definitely recommend this wedding venue!

BEST WEDDING EVER!!!

I highly recommend the Orchard for anyone looking to do a nice outdoor wedding. This venue was perfect, and they made everything so so easy. I couldn't rave more about the amazing experience I had there. Some honorable mentions are...
Gina was amazing for the entire 9 months we worked with her. She was easy to contact, and always willing to answer any questions/concerns we had. She made the entire wedding planning process a piece of cake. On the day of rehearsal she was perfect at keeping everyone on task, and making sure we felt comfortable with the entire process. Day of the wedding, things went off without a hitch, it was beyond perfect!

Kyle did an excellent job as our DJ. He played exactly what we wanted, and even used the Disney theme at our wedding to improvise the song Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast during dinner. We didn't even think to mention something like that and he made our day by adding that personal touch.

Ricardo was fantastic as our banquet captain after Gina left for the evening. He made sure everything continued to run smoothly. He consistently checked on us, got us anything we needed. He was beyond amazing, he even ran to the bar and got us drinks a few times. He was more than accommodating and more than worthy of an honorable mention.

We literally can't stop talking about how perfect this day was. We had no complaints everything was perfect and according to all of our guests the food was great and the venue was awesome!! Everyone had a great time!!

The Orchard is a wonderful place to get married and the Wedgewood team is amazing. The process is so easy and they work with you through every step. I like that you can customize your package according to what your specific needs are. I was worried that it was going to rain and the Wedgewood team provided tents just in case. The tents are tasteful and did not downgrade the look of the venue at all. They also have heaters as an option should you decide to book your wedding here during the colder months. They even put a little baby heater by my feet <3 Guests complimented the Venue and the food. It was overall a wonderful experience. Special thank you to Kelly, Gina, Jemaya, Amanda, Ricardo, Andre, Greg, Sean, Christine, Chef Eddie & Chef CJ, Maria, DJ Tom (JC Entertainment), Robert (Floral Sensations), Scott (Aloha Officiants), and Bo Cakes.

If you are looking for a fairytale wedding venue this is the venue for you! My husband and I were married two weeks ago on 10-12-17. Gina our coordinator was absolutely amazing. She took detailed notes on every aspect of how and what we wanted our wedding to include. The staff work as a team so it makes it very convenient for you to get answers quickly. The venue is absolutely beautiful with the gazebo, lake and rustic feel. Our wedding could not have been more perfect. I highly recommend this venue.

Where do I begin... what an amazing venue with a great group of people. I can’t thank Amanda and Gina enough for making my dream come true. From the very beginning they make it so easy. I had a list of amazing vendors to choose from (if I wanted), a hour play by play of the night, a list of delicious food to consider, and so much more. Though they had suggestions you completely make it the wedding what you want! The day of was stress free due to the team at Wedgewood at the Orchard and I would do it 10 times over! Thank you and I highly recommend this venue (plus Gina and Amanda)!

This venue and the people running it are seriously amazing! From the very start of my experience, they were welcoming and ready to get into action as I had 5 short months before the big day! I fell in love with this venue as soon as I saw it(although just to make sure I did check out a couple others)! My husband and I wanted a country, rustic themed wedding and this place was perfect, I got everything I wanted within our budget and even some free extras! The whole team here was awesome and made sure I was truly happy with every step! So one of my first appointments I got to talk to Nick and had mentioned my husband use to ride bulls(before joining the Marines which doesn't allow him to) and we talked about how cool it would be to have a mechanical bull at the wedding(my mind blown as I'm from a small town and had no idea that was possible!) he said they've never had one and he'd talk to some people and see about getting it, well long story short we got one!!! Kept it a secret from my husband until the big day and he was in shock and so excited, it was awesome and such a big hit, adults and children, everyone had a great time! Over all I had the best experience here and I highly recommend it, they truly go above and beyond to make sure you are more than happy with everything and willing to do anything they can to make sure you have your perfect day! I had mine it was my dream come true wedding and I couldn't be happier with how it all went!

My fiancée and I will be getting married here in May 2017 and we are super excited! Everyone has been super helpful throughout our wedding planning process and each day I fall more in love with the venue. Super excited for our wedding date to come!!!! I'll be back after the wedding and keep u guys posted on how our day went!!

We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Nicholas, Alex, Bradley (the DJ) and all of the people who worked our wedding... thank you! They all made sure that we were as stress-free as humanly possible during our wedding and while I (the bride) was getting ready before our ceremony. We have nothing but great things to say about this venue and the people there.
Thank you all for absolutely everything.

The Wedgewood at the Orchard is the perfect place to have a wedding if you are looking for a beautiful kind of hidden secret garden! The minute I walked into the orchard it blew my breath away I knew that was the place I wanted to get married. It has a beautiful lit tunnel you walk threw and a pond with huge Lilly pads and willow trees!! Anthony and Nicholas were great and you are well taken care of! The food is great can't go wrong there. We also had the phot booth and s'mores bar , our guest were well entertained and had a lot of fun with it. I had about 130 guest, we still had plenty of room to move around wasn't crowded at all!!

Anthony was amazing, our wedding was just amazing and I can't say enough about this amazing venue.

Anthony is AMAZING. Sweetest person in the whole world and so helpful. He's really great about helping you with anything you need. They have all inclusive package which made planning my wedding SOOOO much easier.

One tip though is when you pick your packages, make sure you know exactly what is included with the vendors. My package included floral, but I didn't realize that the floral didn't include bouquets & boutonnieres and specific types of flowers (not a biggie). So make sure to ask lots of questions and get specific if you know you're going to be picky.

I would recommend they to everyone! They made our day stress free and so special!

Very nice and different place.

The Orchard was breath taking!!! Location, location, Location. Echo Martin made me feel like a queen for a day. Everything was perfect. Walking down the aisle, cutting the cake, to the toast. I looked all over the place that was convenient located and reasonable. My calls were always returned, questions answered. She was very professional, loving,and understood our needs. I highly recommend The Orchard for your Wedding or any other event. the Orchard provided the Pastor and it was very important to us that Scriptures were read during the Ceremony, and she understood that. All our vendors all fell into place.Dj, photographer, Harpist,etc. Echo had everything under complete control.

This venue is so beautiful, the owners (bill & eco Martin) are wonderful and very professional people; they were so helpful from the first moment we step in to the last minute we were there. The Orchard in Menifee it's a little paradise in the middle of nothing but I have to say that thanks to God and Eco I had my dream wedding, and they were more than the owners they always made me feel as a part of their family. I'll recommend this place without a doubt!

We loved getting married at the Orchard. When you first drive up you have NO idea whats inside, but once you go through the tunnel your in a fairy tale! Its really breath taking. All our guest could speak of was how they felt like they we blown away when they walked in. Echo is warm and caring and make you feel at ease.

The place is easy to miss from the outside but once you go in it's like being transported to your own personal fairy tail wedding venue. Well worth the price. Very intimate setting and very professionally done we loved it. We truly had our dream wedding.

They made our wedding absolutely beautiful ❤️ being that my fiancee was stationed in Hawaii, I didn’t know for sure if he could make it the day of the wedding. Wedgewood Weddings was very understanding about my situation and worked with us sooo well. I was glad that my husband was able to make it afterall. I couldn’t have done it without these guys. They also made the process super easy and our package included so many things. Thank you guys so much!

The entire staff was very professional and made our wedding day easy and unforgettable. The venue was well maintained and beautiful.

My fiance and I toured this venue today and I'm absolutely beside myself. It's absolutely breathtaking. I can not believe that it goes from very drab and dry to lush and green just by walking through a tunnel. Brandon answered all my questions that I had and explained everything to my fiance and I. This is definitely at the top of my venue list!!!!!

Last night was my sister in laws wedding. It was a beautiful event and we had a great time. Blake and Andre took such good care of us all night and made sure everything was perfect. Blake was super attentive,has an eye for detail and is so thoughtful. He made sure all our decorations were taken care of and even had all our chargers wiped off. Also the thoughtfulness of making sure that the bride and groom had a meal to go for them to enjoy later was above and beyond what we expected. We would definitely recommend this location and staff for any future special events. Blake should be running the show :)

I didn’t have any issues until the wedding day, my coordinator Brandon gave weird “advice” and “warned” us like he was my mother. We forgot to stay in the gazebo after our first dance so naturally people came up to talk to us. After we finished talking with our guests Brandon came up to us and said, “I’m only going to warn you guys once but if you want to mess your timeline up thats fine” I thought it was pretty rude and distasteful. Then he mentioned that both coordinators were leaving after dinner, after our cake cutting we weren’t directed at all, no one knew where we were supposed to go. My photographer basically stepped in and told us what to do next (shout out to Kai Makin Photography), then come to find out AMANDA was hiding in the bar the entire time. I went up to get a drink and I could see her pressed up against the bar wall trying to not let me see her, kinda weird if you ask me. But all in all the venue is beautiful.

The owner of the Orchard is very nice and communicated with us prior to the wedding very well. The venue is Beautiful especially at night. We were disapointed during the wedding by the lack of communication between the Orchard staff and the other vendors. The champagne was not poured in time for the toast so many of our guests including our parents did not have anything to toast with.

Me and my husband had our wedding on 8/17 of this year at this location. The venue is beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. The lady who was in charge of the planning (Amanda ) answered all our questions and seemed very helpful in the beginning so we went ahead and booked our date . We chose the priciest package out of the 3 and put down our non refundable deposit in hopes that we chose the right team and venue . A few months go by and we try contacting them through phone calls but they never answer the phone so we left a voicemail . We waited to see if they would call back but we never received any call backs . So then we texted them like they said we could but again no text back and no call back . This happened every time we tried to call and text them by the way. The time comes closer to our wedding and we realized way more people were going to come to our wedding than we thought so we paid thousands more and realized there wasn’t going to be enough cake . So we contacted the cake lady (bo cakes) who wedgewood works with and she said she would make us an extra cake but a separate one on the side . At first we wanted another tier on the cake but we didn’t want to give her any trouble so we agreed on a separate cake on the side . Finally our wedding day comes and the ceremony is perfect . But during the reception the appetizers come out and me and my husband didn’t get to have hardly any! Well come to find out , there weren’t enough appetizers for my wedding party and half of them didn’t get to try any. There were 8 different appetizers so I don’t understand how we ran out so fast! So at this point my and my husband are a little disappointed but we try not to let it ruin the day . Well apparently the wedding planning team didn’t go over everything we wanted and asked for in our contract . It was as if they didn’t go through it and just showed up on the day of and ran with whatever they thought was going on. At this point we’re frustrated but again it’s our wedding so we’re trying to enjoy it . Cake time comes and we don’t see the extra cake ! What the heck!? Everyone starts complaining that there wasn’t enough cake and at this point I am so disappointed and upset that they didnt make enough of everything for everyone . We had less guests there than we paid for . I can’t even imagine if all my guests would have shown up. I walked up to one of the servers with long brown hair in a ponytail to ask her if there was more cake and she didn’t even acknowledge me ! She was flirting with one of my guests plus one and ended up going home with him that night . So unprofessional!!The dj gave us a music sheet to fill out with the music we wanted him to play on our day. We filled it out and turns out he never played any of the songs we asked for ! I felt like I was listening to music at another couples wedding and not mine ! We paid a 22% service fee for what? So we could be disappointed? We are so upset . My wedding was beautiful but the wedgewood team didn’t try to make it special for us . The whole experience was not great. I hope no one has to go through this because it is not cheap and it’s supposed to be one of the most special nights of your life. I do however want to thank the Florist and photo booth man , they did a wonderful job , so thank you for that.

Bride & Groom Beware!
We had our wedding here and it was an absolute nightmare!! Yes, its a little cheaper than some other places, but its just not worth it, you can never replay that day or moment again. The venue its self is very beautiful. Its lovely once your inside. The greenery, lily pond, gazebo and lights hanging dont disappoint. What disappoints is the staff, the food, the theft, and the big ugly white trailer in the front that is the bridal suite. So many things went wrong and were ruined on our special day, there's just not enough space here or time to list it all. Amanda promised us that everything would be taken care of and that they had a team of people to help set up and keep things rolling. Nope! 2 people! Thats it!! The parents of the bride and the bridal party had to set up and take care of most things. The brides parents set up all the guests dinner table decorations. The brides mother was so exhausted and pressed to the max, but tried her best. Even when she cried out in pain, being disabled and not walking well, the staff sat there folding napkins and never once offered to help. All of the staff were a complete joke. Our amazing $500 wedding cake was cut and laid out in the dark, where no guests could see it. It wasn't until after our wedding we heard how 95% of our guests never recieved or ate any cake.
Personal items for the bride and groom from the bakers were not kept for the bride and groom as should've been, they were put out on the dessert table for everyone. Bride and groom received nothing. We paid the extra couple hundred for the prime rib, It was of utmost disappointment. All of our guests expressed how disappointing it was. The night was very incomplete and a wreck! Like I said, so many things went wrong... I cant even. But I guess one of the biggest things I will never forget is the venue stealing our items and decorations that night. We brought in all of our own decor,which both my husband and I hand made amazing decor for our wedding ( half of it was never used or put out due to the chaos and un organization of the so called team). We also brought in our own charger plates, satin linens, etc..the night of our wedding, afterwards, the staff does not help you clean up anything you brought, at all. So our family and the bride and groom (us) ran around afterwards cleaning up and picking up everything! Can you imagine? I have never seen a wedding where the bride is running around in her full ball gown wedding dress picking up everything from her own wedding?! Yep. This was our evening. But to top it all off, the staff here at the venue took all of our charger plates and some of our linens before we could pick them up and kept them. It wasn't until 2 weeks after and several attempts reaching out/texting Amanda at the venue requesting if they had our items. .... they finally said, oh ya.. we have them. We were washing them for you. But yet no one ever said, hey we have these, or called or tried to return them, nope. Nothing! They straight up stole them and linens and figured in the chaos we would never notice. But we did! It took several weeks of back and forth with the venue until speaking with the District Manager and we were refunded for our plates and missing linens. But that doesn't make it right! I never thought in a million years this venue would steal our wedding decor. And even though given a small refund, (and I mean small..) we cannot ever fix or repeat our wedding. No money can bring it back, nothing. So I would think hard about having your wedding here at this venue, as once the evening is over you can never fix or re-do, and then your just left with a ton of regret that a wonderful moment in time that you planned for so long went so awry. It can never be re-done. So pick the right place, the right team that will take care of everything for you. As you - the bride will be busy.. and if the venue doesn't do what they say and should. . Your family, wedding party and guests will be doing it... and trust me.. its very very stressful this way. We wish we had gone elsewhere. The venue its self is quite pretty, it's the staff that surprisingly are a complete let down, they should hire people that actually know what they are doing in this industry. Thank God through all of this nightmare, I got to marry my best friend and walk away from this with him. But we will both forever regret memories of our screwed up one special wedding day that we hoped, planned and paid for.
Congratulations to all of you getting married, I hope your wedding day goes much better than ours. Do yourself a favor, go else where that will do a good job for you, but if you do go here to this venue, I hope some of the things I pointed out, don't happen to you on your special day! Good luck!

There were old mattresses just outside the premises, the sign was made of paper flapping in the wind, the lot was barren, rundown, and in need of repairs. We drove past the venue multiple times not realising it was actually the venue. It looked like a junkyard. Professionalism is near zero. There’s no coordination with the vendors. It has been a very miserable experience.
