Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings Reviews

Their reputation is superb and they show that thru their one-on-one personalized care for your wedding needs! When we were looking for venues we ventured out to this spot in Temecula, and after meeting with the planning team and walking the grounds, we knew this was our venue. They allow you to have all of the grounds to yourselves on your wedding day, there are suites for both the bride & groom, lodgings are close by for a venue that is somewhat of a destination wedding, and they have some of the best vendors to offer just next door!

This venue and the staff made my wedding such a magical experience. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, Jess you are the best! The Dj played such a fun set and the food was delicious. The venue sold itself with its beauty. My loved ones fell in love with every detail of the wedding including the venue and how the staff used my decor and created such beautiful settings for the table. Soirée floral were absolutely flexible with my budget and were kind enough to surprise me with my dream bouquet. I was so happy with how they fixed everything with the florals. Thank you for making my special day the amazing day it was🤍

We hosted our wedding at Galway Downs and I cannot rave about the venue and the team. Everything went so flawlessly with no hiccups. We got so may compliments on the service, food, and atmosphere. Thank you to our day of coordinator Jess and the team for everything! We could not have asked for a more perfect day :)

Galway Downs has an amazing team that helped so much with meeting and were quick to respond to any questions I had before my wedding. My day turned out absolutely beautiful and I appreciate all the help from their team. I felt like I had someone there to help if I needed the whole time. The florist (soiree floral designs) did an outstanding job and did above and beyond what I could have imagined or asked. The bakery did amazing and the cake was delicious. The DJ (Austin Music) was so kind and accommodating. He made all the requests happen and the day went by seamlessly. The venue was beautiful, grounds were well kept, and the bridal suite was stunning. The food, late night snacks, and appetizers were a hit for the guests. I highly recommend Galway Downs.

Get married here, you won't be disappointed!

Let me just start by saying that I am a high-stress, anxious, type-A personality. I assumed that the entire wedding planning process would be an absolute nightmare for someone like me, and had I chosen a different venue, it may have been--but not with Galway Downs. From our first meeting with Ashley to our final meeting with Leah, the planning process was an absolute breeze. They were so thorough, so accommodating, and so knowledgeable. They put my mind at ease and made the process as painless as possible.

Our day-of-event-coordinator, Tiffany, was absolutely incredible! She was like a dream coordinator for me because she didn't just say she would get things done--she walked me through everything, checked-in with me when necessary, and kept everything moving on-time. She made sure my husband and I were fed and made sure we had a chance to soak in all of the details. D.J. who was in charge of the reception and event staff was also amazing! He kept our reception on track, check-in with us, and was so kind and professional--as was his entire staff! Even Jess and Leah, who drove my father and me up to the ceremony spot--they calmed our nerves and helped me feel at peace before walking down the aisle.

The food was honestly delicious, the DJ (CSquared) was such a pro and made the evening so fun, and the florist (Soiree) created floral arrangements that absolutely took my breath away. You know the arrangements are good with the tia's are fighting to take them home!

I can't say enough good things about this venue and, in particular, the people who work here. What I keep hearing from guests is just how magical the day was--and SO much of that is due to the service, venue, and other amenities provided by Galway Downs/Wedgewood Weddings. I highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding and interested in an all-inclusive option!

This venue was amazing!!! Our wedding went so well even with the crazy rain we had over that weekend. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The moment we saw this venue all the way to the wedding day, we knew they were going to be unbelievable!! We definitely recommend this gorgeous venue!

Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings was amazing to work with from our first meeting with them! Everyone was so accommodating and friendly from the beginning. When we left our first appointment for a tour, another couple was dropping off their final payment and doing their final walkthrough and had nothing but amazing things to tell us about the team. We knew then that this had to be our venue, and after booking with them it was all a breeze! The team was always very quick to keep in contact and answer any of my questions throughout the whole planning process. We went with Austin Murray (their recommended DJ), Soiree Floral (their recommended florist), and The Studio by Leah Marie (their recommended photographer), and they did not disappoint! We loved every company they suggested and it made everything so much easier to coordinate for the entire weekend.

Our wedding weekend was so smooth, there was not a single thing I would change. Jess (our wedding coordinator) was so amazing. She was organized from the very beginning at the rehearsal, and kept us AHEAD of schedule the day of the wedding. We had 30 minutes to spend with our family and friends during cocktail hour which was one of our favorite parts! Jess checked in with us consistently and made sure we were well taken care of the entire day.

We loved every minute of our wedding weekend and it was all thanks to the Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings team. We are so thankful for all of them and their help with making our dreams a reality!

I got married here October 2022 and it was so easy with zero stress! The day went by so smoothly and they make you feel like such a priority in any phone call or appointment. I honestly couldn’t imagine a more perfect wedding than the wedding that we had here! My sister also used Wedgewood in a different location and hers was just as smooth and perfect!

I can't think of any negatives. Truly the most magical day of our lives, Galway team hit it out of the park!

My husband and I got married here August 2022 and we had an amazing experience with the whole team at Galway Downs. I had lots of questions through the planning process and they were always helpful and quick to respond. The day of the wedding went way smoother than either of us imagined because the team was so organised that we were just able to sit back and enjoy. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stress- free process!

Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings made our wedding day so incredibly perfect. I used to work for Wedgewood Weddings in Carmel before I moved out of state-and let me just tell you Wedgewood Weddings in general is an amazing company with great people from the top to bottom. I have met some forever friends there - many of which attended my wedding! Needless to say when it came to planning my wedding I knew the easiest, lowest stress, most bang for my $$$ place and that was Wedgewood without a doubt. Not a wedding venue I’d rather give my business to.

Ever since I worked with Wedgewood I have fantasized about a wedding at Galway Downs in Temecula, CA- it is just one of the most beautiful and magical properties. ever. - and all my guests would agree the property, staff, food/beverages were nothing shy of that magic. I first spoke with Mikayla in the sales office and met her for my first official property tour. We clicked right from our first call and you could just feel her genuine energy and care in what she was doing. On my wedding day my two coordinators were Ashley and Kylie and they did an amazing job of making my husband and I feel so special and taken care of. Not only that my bridal party was 20 people not including Aaron and I HA! So wrangling everyone deserves more than high praise!! Later in the night we were introduced to our banquet captain, Chris, he was a rockstar! His transition from Ashley & Kylie was seamless. All throughout the night he always found the time to come talk to us and take care of all our needs. Above and beyond from him. Even our guests appreciated & noticed how thoughtful and helpful Chris was! Our bartender, Steve, was also a big hit! An open bar is always going to be a crowd pleaser (& included in the packages-my guests couldn’t believe that….) but back to the point lol… Steve got high praise from everyone I spoke with after the wedding and got lots of “Steve was the man!” lol. Finally compliments to Galway’s chef + kitchen team every.single.person I talked to said it was hands down the best wedding food they have ever eaten. Being on the other side of things I know how much effort can go into weddings and this team brought their all and made us feel truly special.

I also need to take a second to thank the Galway vendors….
+Sheila from Soiree floral was incredible- super sweet and really understood my vision. I planned my wedding from out of town with little knowledge of the Temecula area but on our day seeing all my flowers & candles I was in awe and they smelled incredible as well. They are definitely a major show stopper in all my wedding photos.
+Kathy from Bocakes was super accommodating- I did a taste testing day with my mom and we were shocked by how many flavors we could pick from. The cake was so yummy- my only wedding regret was not eating more of it haha…so make time for cake!

Once again, thank you Mikayla, Ashley, Kylie, Chris, Steve, Sheila, Kathy, (& Tori Stewart, Torey Wise, and Central Coast Entertainment team from Wedgewood Weddings in Carmel for traveling for me) from the bottom of our hearts.I also want to say sorry for the delay in this review but I needed to make sure I had all my wedding photos to really illustrate how AMAZING this day was.

My words still cannot cover it but for any brides looking for the perfect venue I am telling you from being the wedding planner myself to being the bride Wedgewood Weddings and more specifically Galway Downs is no joke !!

Hair & Makeup I know can also be hard to find if you are not familiar with the area but I did my research - @kylastuart_makeup & @bstyleshair traveled in (not too far) and did the best job. With once again 10 bridesmaids each + me.

Xoxo, Aaron & Kate Fraley

My husband and I fell in love the moment we walked on these beautiful grounds! The team is great and professional, they responded within 24 hours, they always followed up with us, are detailed oriented. The day of the wedding went so smooth and had no issues! We wish you can relive this day over and over and want the thank Galway Downs team, from coordinator (Gina), to banquet captain (Amanda) for making our day so special!

I wanted a wedding that would be a fun party for all our family and friends. Ever since I was a little girl when I throw a party I go all out with decorations and details to show all the guests a good time. Wedgewood Weddings at Galway Downs hooked me up with all the vendors I needed to bring the details to life. From extra accent furniture and a silly photo booth to a family memoir window panel with beautiful calligraphy and even a cigar lounge for my husband and his 8 groomsmen. All of my desires came to life. We had some rain on the day of our wedding (March 5th). We quickly converted from an outdoor to an indoor wedding and it was PERFECT. The misty rain also provided double rainbows during our after-ceremony photo shoot. Absolutely magical! So many of our family and friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Getting to celebrate our love at Galway Downs was an absolute dream for us. After getting postponed almost 2 years, last weekend we finally tied the knot and I don’t think a single thing could have been better. From start to finish the team at Galway Downs was absolutely incredible. Mikayla helped us so much in the planning process and Ashley was incredible as our day-of-coordinator. Ashley checked in throughout the getting ready process and did such an amazing job with set up and executed my vision for the whole night perfectly. And at the end of the night, Chris was such an amazing help with telling us where we were on our schedule and even doctoring it up when the bride got slightly injured on the dance floor.
The venue itself is truly breathtaking. From the getting ready suites being the perfect size, the perfect distance from each other, having the perfect lighting to get ready in to the ceremony under such beautiful trees to the reception being the perfect combination of rustic and elegant. I could go on and on, truly.
Thank you so much for making our day so incredibly memorable and beautiful and just truly the wedding day of our dreams.

This venue ensures that you feel streess-free during the process, and during your big day. The value is worthy. My theme was Disney mixed with Christmas, and everything looked the way it should. The food is delicious, the coordinators so gentle, and the DJ so nice as well. They really care about your big day. For me it was like a princess dream.

Where to start! This venue was amazing. The team is so sweet and welcoming and truly care about making the day special. Our coordinator Leah was absolutely amazing and she did a wonderful job of helping making the day of our dreams reality. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else. Thank you to the amazing team, especially Leah!

Our wedding was the absolute BEST! After rescheduling our day four times due to covid, it finally got here and we wouldn't change a thing about how it turned out! It was that good.

Mikayla and Galway Downs staff were incredible. They answered all my calls and emails in such a timely manner and helped us navigate reschedule after reschedule which no bride wants to ever have to do.

Having an all-inclusive event planning venue was so smart. Do yourself a favor and book them now! They take the guessing out of everything for vendors, you just pick your details.

Also, this venue location and grounds were breathtakingly beautiful! Summer or fall.

Thank you team for giving us the best day! It really was a dream come true. Thank you! 11.15.2021

From Start to Finish, Galway Downs has been an incredible venue. When I first started looking for venues, Galway Downs was at the top of my list- I wanted Rustic meets Elegance, and Galway served that vibe. The entire property is just gorgeous, from the Oak Meadow to the Carriage House for the reception. & the bridal suite made this day so much more special. The variety of packages Galway offers, makes it super user friendly for your budget- we went with the Elite Package, and it was worth every extra penny. The planning process was a great experience, and while they do have preferred vendors, you can bring your own as well, which we did on a few elements. The entire team is friendly, responsive, and you can genuinely tell they care about making this the day, that all of brides dream about. Our Day of Coordinator was Leah- if you get married here, you would be a fool not to ask for her. Incredible is not a strong enough term to describe our experience with her. The rehearsal event was quick, smooth and well planned- she kept my wild cards in line and kept me sane. The day of, I probably would have died without her- she was literally on top of everything, super positive when any little snags came up, and helped to keep me calm when I started getting the scaries. It is obvious this girl loves what she does, and cares about her brides, with a smile and killer attitude. We also had an amazing banquet captain, Krystle, who made sure my hubs and I were taken care of the entire reception. & Mr. Bartender, you were the star of the show- we have heard so many compliments about how great he was from our guests- funny, awesome drinks, and super rad to name a few. Overall, the experience with Galway Downs was just incredible and highly recommend them to any bride who wants the utmost confidence, that their team will be professional, make every aide to remove stress, and do it all with a genuine smile. Thank you Leah, & the Galway Team for helping to make our wedding, the single best day of my life.

Easy and amazing experience from the first phone call to the last dance on the day of our wedding!
Wedgewood truly created our wedding day to be everything I had imagined and more.

We got married at this beautiful venue a few weeks back, and I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone!! We had Ashley as our coordinator who absolutely went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch (at all) and looked stunning. Throughout the planning process we worked with essentially every other coordinator as well through email/meetings, and they were all so responsive, accommodating, and unbelievably organized. They have a system in place to make your wedding day and planning process so seamless, even with taking on so many extra weddings this year from 2020 postponements. My husband and I have been talking nonstop since the day on how amazing it was, and how we can’t be sad that it’s over now because it was everything we have ever dreamed of and more! Stop looking for other venues, book Galway Downs now!

This was our dream venue! We had both ceremony and reception at this venue. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the Carriage House truly sells itself. We still get so many compliments from family and friends about how amazing our wedding was, how delicious the food was, and how much fun everyone had. The staff at Galway Downs by Wedegwood Weddings are worth their weight in gold plus more! They are a well-oiled machine and truly take away the stress from wedding planning. I knew we were in the best hands from that very first meeting with Alex. We can't thank them enough for all the guidance and help with making our favorite day filled with precious memories that we will cherish forever. All of the Wedgewood vendors were a godsend to work with (I will be posting separate reviews for each one). I think the biggest thing that stuck out to us was that though they do hundreds of weddings a year, they truly made our day feel extra special. We highly recommend Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding needs and special events!

My husband and I fell in love with Galway Downs when we first walked on the property and we are so happy we went with them! Not only is the venue GORGEOUS, the staff is incredible and so professional. They made our day run so smoothly. Also loved that they capture IG stories for their IG profile because I reposted all of it and it was stunning. If you are on the fence, take it from us - you will not be disappointed!

Thank you Galway Downs for making our day incredible!

Our experience with Galway was fantastic.
As soon as went to tour the venue , we knew we were going to select it as our place to get married. After touring with the staff, they allowed us to walk around freely to take photos and videos and allowed us privacy so we can begin to imagine how we wanted our wedding to go. They were always friendly and never pushy. They seemed to have our best interest at heart. All preparation/ paperwork was a breeze. All questions were answered and all our request were met without hesitation. Staff was all friendly from our first phone call and all the way throughout our wedding day and beyond.
During the wedding, EVERYTHING went according to plan and as promised by all the staff. Food was amazing, DJ was keeping everyone on their feet , drinks were delicious and quick, all special dances and speeches were accommodated for us without issue.
If you are looking for a venue that incorporates a variety of fashion styles then this is the place. Our wedding a mix between a rustic and classy style. Hotels and places for guest to stay are very local.
This place is awesome.
I want go tour it again with my wife so we can walk around and enjoy the memories of our day.

I’m not quite sure where to begin on this review! Deciding to book with Wedgewood Weddings at Galway Downs was one of the best decisions we ever made. From the initial planning meeting to our wedding day, the coordinators at Galway were super responsive, attentive, helpful, professional and just overall wonderful to work with. Diana was awesome and fun to plan with at all of our meetings and on the day of our wedding, Ashley & Alex were beyond amazing. I was completely relaxed and truly enjoyed every moment of our wedding thanks to our coordinators and everyone at Galway working so seamlessly together. The staff, banquet chef and bartenders were awesome and our guests had the best time at our wedding. Our Wedgewood coordinators and preferred vendors - Soiree floral design, DJ/MC Austin and BoCakes - were so talented, amazing and worked together with our photo/video vendors like the ultimate dream team to make sure our day was just how we wanted and it was an actual DREAM. I could go on and on about Wedgewood and everyone at this venue. They stuck with us through a whole extra year during our unexpected postponement and were so supportive during a time that was difficult for everyone. We will forever be grateful to Wedgewood Weddings at Galway Downs and their incredible team. We love you guys!
