KellySt's reviews

Eileen Rivard and her staff at Villa de Amore are so much more than just a business. Getting married is not only one of the most amazing and important days of your lives but the preparation into creating that day is also very vital and supposed to be exciting and stress free.
When i first drove up the gated road to the Villa, my mother-in-law and I knew that this place was special. It was the first venue i saw, of many, for my wedding to take place. We were greeted in a friendly and warm manner which made us feel very welcomed and at home. After we had a tour around Eileen's beautiful property, my heart melted. It had such a well kept, romantic, homely feel to it. Exactly what my husband and I were looking for. I thought to myself it was too good to be true and that the price for a Wedding here wouldn't fit our budget. This is where Eileen and her staff are unlike any other venue i had researched. You knew they were flexible and wanted to make sure your day was as special as you had always dreamt of. They were so very accommodating to our needs without any questions asked. Even though i know Eileen is a very busy woman, she would always get back to me with any concerns or questions i had within days. All of Eileen's staff on board were beyond impeccable. Renee and the catering staff served up a beautiful platter of food and allowed me to have the option of two main dishes, Carlos and his floral arrangement was stunning (even though you don't need too many flowers, as Eileen's garden is full of breathtaking roses). Carlos made it very easy to communicate via email, as we live in Las Vegas, to send me pictures of his arrangements, to see if it matched our needs and wants. Her photographer, Lauren, is a very talented lady and at such a young age still. I was extremely impressed with her skills and vision and am excited for Lauren and her long career ahead.
To sum up, Eileen takes great care and consideration when finding her vendors to create the perfect Wedding day. They have worked together for a long time now, so everyone feels like family, and they all work closely together, so no communication is ever lost, everyone is on board, which is rare to find these days. They all treated Noah and I with the upmost respect and made us feel like family.
During the preparation of our Wedding i built a beautiful relationship with Eileen, that didn't just become a business transaction, it became a friendship.
Noah and I had the most beautiful Wedding day. My family came over form England and were so impressed with her home. Our guests told us it was the best Wedding they have ever been too, and that's because everything went smoothly and we were all taken care of in the best possible way.
I recommend to anyone i hear of wanting to get married in southern California to go see "VILLA DE AMORE". They will offer you the best and not skim on anything to make your day as perfect as ever.
Eileen offers above and beyond what any vineyard in the Temecula can or will offer. Why, because Eileen makes it personal and not just another Wedding sweeping by.

I hope to see the 'Villa de Amore' make more dreams come true in the distant future
