Guys, it's happening; I'm getting married next year. We'll have our wedding in Temecula, and I hope some of you know this area and might be able to help me out. So, we both agree we don't want to spend a fortune; we'll have a small reception for the closest friends and family (around 30-35 guests). And it's not just about spending a fortune; we want people we really love with us on that day and not some relatives we last saw five years ago. I learned that some venues require a minimum of 50 guests, so yeah, there is that. We don't have a particular preference; it can be a winery, a ranch, or pretty much anything outdoors. Ideally, they will offer some help with planning, catering, bar, and some decor. Is that called all-inclusive? I'm unfamiliar with the terminology, but it would be great to find it all in one place. Our budget is in the range of 6-8k for an early April wedding. Does anyone have a recommendation based on personal experience? Have you had yours or attended a wedding in Temecula? We'll get serious about this and do the proper research; we could simply use a starting point. I really appreciate any help you can provide. Cheers!

We've been to Callaway Vineyard, and the view is stunning. The staff is super helpful and kind, which is a big deal for me. There are some wedding websites where you can look for all sorts of wedding-related things, including venues. I can't for the life of me remember the names, but they list the prices and other details. Sorry I couldn't help more. And congratulations!

Thank you! Don't worry, I found help where I expected it the least. I went to some men's fashion forums to get an idea of what I could wear on my wedding day. Yes, I need help on that front too. Digging around, I found one of the platforms you mentioned, with California locations. Some poor soul was equally lost as me, and the guys there suggested it. So, I now have this list of wedding venues in Temecula with filters - the number of guests (will immediately exclude those with a minimum of 50), budget, venue type, date, everything. I checked the one you recommended and learned practically everything about it - the location, what's included in their packages, and the availability. It is slightly above our budget, but they offer a long list of services, which is a big plus. We will check out all the matches we got, but I am a lot calmer today than yesterday.
