Villa de Amore

Brides with small budgets who dream of getting married with their friends and family in attendance, beware! Consider my tale your warning.

I got engaged in November 2010. One of the first things we did that week after sharing our wonderful news was to do our budget. We paid for our entire wedding by ourselves. When we were done crunching numbers, we realized that, while it's not woefully small, our budget was definitely not nearing 6 figures either. The budget we quoted all our vendors was $18,000.

Needless to say, we had our work cut out for us but I was optimistic.

I called this business to ask about wedding packages. I spoke to someone who was later identified as the manager. He started off very helpful and asked me about our budget. I told him "$18,000". He asked me about how many people we're expecting. I told him "about 200". He was pretty enthusiastic at first because he thought we had $18,000 to spend for the reception. When I corrected him and told him that $18,000 was our ENTIRE budget, things immediately went south.

He ceased being helpful and, in my opinion, very rude. He told me that there's no way we can get married with our budget, much less in Temecula. He said there's no way we can book a venue, pay for a ceremony and feed 200 - 250 people in addition to doing everything else we need to do with a budget of our size. He even helpfully suggested we cut down the amount of people we invite because "that's where your cost is."

I locked myself in my bathroom and cried. After I was done, I emailed their general email address and told them what our conversation was about, how I felt and how distressed I was after this conversation. I would have been done with this establishment had it ended there.

Instead, the owner then told me that she thought the manager (she's the one who identified him and his position) was not rude and that he was being "honest and upfront" about their pricing. She said that she was walking next to him during our entire phone conversation so she heard everything he was saying to me. She said they pride themselves on their exceptional customer service to their brides, that she was sure he was not malicious in his comments and DEFINITELY was not being rude.

This is where we differ in our opinions. I think it's rude to tell your prospective clients they don't have enough money to make their dreams a reality and imply they should look elsewhere. I also think it's incredibly rude for the OWNER of the establishment to think treatment of prospective clients in this manner is not only acceptable but to stand behind it.

I also think it's pretty craptastic to make a bride CRY because you, the owner, and your manager are telling her that SHE'S TOO POOR TO GET MARRIED!! How is this acceptable? And you pride yourself on your "exceptional customer service"? Maybe this exceptional customer service is only extended to those who actually become customers. However, if prospective clients are treated the way I've been treated, then I am amazed they have any customers to give this much lauded service to.

I'm sure the brides who have gotten married here had a great experience. I just can't help but wonder if it's because they had a bigger piggy bank than I did and that's why they received this "exceptional service."

It should go without saying that not only did I cross this venue off my list of possibilities (and yes, there are possibilities. There are other venues who are willing to work with me and have never made me feel terrible) but I will also never give them business of any kind.

In case you're wondering if we ever did manage to get married, we did. Not only was A 4 DIAMOND RESORT willing to work with our budget but they bent over backwards to ensure all 170+ of our guests had an amazing time. Guess what? They did.

I suppose I should thank Villa de Amore for making me cry, refusing my business and refusing to work with me because how else would I have been so determined to prove them wrong and pull off the wedding of my dreams?

Every Girl Dreams about their perfect wedding day I want to thank everyone at the Villa for making it so much more than a Dream. This place is a class act. The Venue takes you breath away with beauty. the help from the staff was great the all inclusive package saved me the stress of wedding planning nightmares.My flower were great by Soiree Design & Events you get alot with the package. My wedding photo and just amazing. Recommend this venue to everyone.

One word describes our wedding, PERFECT!!! The staff at the Villa took charge of everything that day. There were things Lauren was doing all day in order to ensure our day went as smooth as possible. We wouldn't have done our wedding anywhere else! We searched and searched for places, but after touring the Villa we knew there wasn't any other place that would compare. Pictures do not do this venue any justice. If you're considering this venue, take a tour and you'll be sold. The best part is that it's an all inclusive venue. It took SO much stress off of me in planning and making sure all of the vendors were on the same page. We paid the villa and they took care of everything else. Family and friends are still commenting that they have never been to a more beautiful wedding and venue! Thank you Villa de Amore for making our wedding day the most memorable day!!
God Bless!!

I am so happy that I found Villa De Amore on here comes the guide! Once I read the special offer I thought it was too good to be true until I actually saw the place in person.. Villa De Amore is the most gorgeous place I have ever seen for a wedding venue and after I went to the location I did not want to look anywhere else!! The staff are absolutely amazing and their vendors! They made planning a wedding seem so easy ;) My wedding day was like my dreams had come true!! Elieen and David are great, Lauren was great helping coordinate everything on my wedding day, John the DJ Divine Entertainment (he was great helping my husband and I and playing awesome music) , Christina and her team from Capture Moments (Can’t wait to see my beautiful photos), Rene Catering by Bitonti (People are still taking about how good the food was) , Carlos the florist made my beautiful flowers, Jennifer who made my wonderful cake Elegance on Display and Ken the minister. My guest loved the bartenders that worked there too, they had a fun time with them. The whole staff and the vendors works together as a team which made the whole night run smooth!

Love Reed and Angela

We recently got married at the Villa de Amore on September 9, 2011. We immediately fell in the love with the venue on our first visit. The grounds are beautifully manicured and maintained and the surroundings vineyards are gorgeous. But that is just the beginning, the Villa has the most amazing staff and offers the best wedding vendors in the Temecula area. We found that the Villa's preferred vendors had extensive experience and were very familiar with the grounds and staff, which relieved a lot of stress on our part and also afforded us greater flexibility while planning. The Villa’s staff, Lauren and David were very accommodating, friendly, and most importantly reliable, which helped make our wedding day perfect. Also, the caterer was great and we had several guests compliment us on the food. The Villa de Amore made our wedding day dreams come true and we HIGHLY recommend this venue to any couple!

My wedding was June 26, 2011. It is now June 30, 2011 and my guests are still calling to tell me that The Villa de Amore was the most elegant and beautiful wedding venue that they have ever visited. The view is breathtaking. The Villa has so many beautiful areas that every turn of the corner is a new surprise. There is a beautiful rose garden that has a beautiful view of the mountains. The area where the ceremony will be held is breathtaking. The gazebo is to die for! The area where the cocktail area is held overlooks vineyards and has a beautiful view of the mountains. One male guest shared with me that when his daughter marries, this is the place where he would like her to marry. Another guest shared with me that she has been to many weddings. However, this wedding was the first where she felt emotions. She could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. Words alone could not explain how happy my husband and I are that we chose The Villa.

In addition, the staff was wonderful! Many guests shared with me that the staff, waiters and bartenders made them feel very special.

The owner is a gem! She is very personable and will go out of her way to make you feel wonderful. Lauren, one of the wedding coordinators went the extra mile to make my wedding party and I feel like queens and kings.

The Villa has an all inclusive package. You literally do not have to pay for anything but your own alcohol. They have tons of decorations and accessories that will make your wedding look so beautiful. The price is VERY reasonable. Personally, I think the owner should charge twice as much if not more. I visited several venues in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The venues are nothing compared to The Villa.

I would like to get married again (to the same man of course) just to experience The Villa de Amore one last time! Good luck to you and I hope this helps!!

Best Wishes - Shauna and Gary

Our wedding at Villa de Amore was on June 5th, 2011. The venue is fantastic and the all-inclusive package is a good value. Many of our guests said it was the best venue they had ever seen for a wedding due to the variety of different locations, and very much enjoyed the wedding experience there.The staff was flexible to our requests and we were able to use our own vendors as well. The officiant Ken Pollard, DJ John Briganti, Photographer Christina Mills, Florist Sheila Alonzo, and Caterer Renee Bitonti all paid attention to our special requests, helped us with good advice, and did a great job of executing on the day of the wedding.At one point, we did experience an issue over the start time listed in the contract and a less than professional handling of the situation by the owner. Luckily, David was able to salvage the situation after we expressed our concerns. This incident left us with worries and a "walking on eggshells" feeling all the way up to the day of the wedding. However, our coordinator David reassured us and promised us a great wedding day. David and his staff followed through on that promise by executing well and doing more than expected to make our day as smooth as possible.

I got married at Villa De Amore June 3, 2011 and they did an Amazing job! The Venue is an all inclusive package, meaning EVERYTHING is part of the package price. The only thing we had to pay for was the Alcohol for the bar. We decided to do an open bar for our wedding, which worked out great because whatever is left you take home. So your money is not wasted. My coordinator's Lauren and David were very organized and took care of everything. All the Vendor's were there on time and did exactly what We had asked. I used K&R photography for my photographer. The 2 girls worked very well together and took some amazing shots. They stayed till my reception was ending, which was definitely worth your money. Dj was fun, entertaining and worked well with my group. The venue only works with one caterer, but they did a great job of taking care of all of us..The food was soo delicious! We had a three layer cake with two different flavors.. The cake looked amazing and tasted soo good. I used Micheal's flower girls in Murrieta for my florist. They took such good care of us and did 100% on using my colors. So if you don't want to spend a fortune on a wedding, I would definitely recommend getting married here. It is absolutely beautiful and all the vendor's did a tremendous job! I have NO complaints..


Thank you Villa De Amore for Making Our wedding day a dream come true :)

Christy and Matthew

Villa de Amore was WONDERFUL!!! In my opinion there is no better option in Temecula, or most of southern california for that matter!! I had the absolute best wedding and it was all because of Lauren. I don't know how she does it, but she works her tail off for you! She is so flexible, allows your vision to take shape, not just what they normally do. She is also just so fun and exciting to work, she truly loves her job and it shows!! My wedding guests are still talking about how this was the best and most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. So if you want to look good to your friends and family get married at Villa de Amore! Thanks for EVERYTHING Lauren, David and Eileen!! Miss you guys!!

I couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding! I was married at the Villa on May 21, 2011. The Villa de Amore is a beautiful place to start your married life. I am a big control freak and I pay attention to every detail and the Villa's staff made sure every detail was perfect and to my liking. I have to give a huge "thank you" to David the event coordinator for my day. He made sure I was taken care of the entire day. And something I appreciate more then ever was the fact that he always came to me throughout the day to keep me in the loop of when we wanted to do certain things during the wedding and reception. He made me feel soo comfortable and relaxed. Thank you David for making my special day perfect, I am soo happy to have worked with you and hopefully in the future we can work together again. I can't wait to hold another event at the Villa because I know it will be perfect. Everything went so smooth I can't complain. Only problem was, by the time I knew it the day was almost over, time just flew by! Advice for the brides: Savor every moment because time will get away from you! Thank you Villa de Amore!!
Love Always,
Justin & Stephanie Sadler

This place is magic! When my fiance and I booked this venue I breathed a deep sigh of relief knowing everything was taken care of and I didn't doubt this venue's capabilities once! Their weddings are done all inclusively (at a very reasonable price) so all the vendors are taken care of. With the assistance of the friendly staff of coordinators and vendors this experience was fun and easy! Day of the wedding everyone fulfilled their duties above and beyond. I had guests coming up to me all day telling me how great everything was!

Oh my gosh, I get teary eyed just thinking about my wedding at Villa de Amore. It was the wedding of my dreams, and I am extremely hard to impress. My husband and I must've gotten 100 compliments on the venue Saturday night and the high praises are still rolling in! Considering the breathtaking setting, highly competent staff, and all the included amenities the price is an absolute steal in Southern California! The planning process was smooth, too. The staff responded to every email within hours of me sending it! Their replies were always kind and thorough. I visited the venue three times before the wedding day, including my Design Day, and felt welcome every time. I really appreciated Villa de Amore's vendor flexibility, too. Although they have preferred vendors, they are flexible and allow you to bring in your own. Okay, I've gotta go. I'm getting post-wedding weepy. ;-)

perfect! perfect! perfect! this place is perfect! im so happy to add on to this list of reviews expressing my extreme gratitude towards villa de amore!!! this place is FABULOUS! this place offers something no other place i looked at did. a feeling. im sure they deal with tons of brides but this place truly goes out of their way to make you feel like you matter and you are not just a dollar sign! regular calls checking in with me and assistance from all the preferred vendors was so greatly appreciated. i owe it to them to write this review! they made my day everything my husband and i have dreamed of.

I am from Spain and came to the Villa de Amore for a friend wedding. I fell in love with Villa when I first come to visit. I knew I must have my wedding here. When i become engaged me and my fiance were so thrilled with the helpfulness of Villa de Amore from planning our wedding from Barcelona. Every detail was perfect and the vendors were so kind and helpful as well. Day of our wedding was better than anything. Beautiful day and the Villa de Amore was gorgeous. Staff was so kind and helped through the whole day. This place makes it enjoyable to plan wedding and makes day of perfect!!!!

This place rocks! Great and friendly service, beautiful views and extreme ease in planning. My husband and I searched all around for packages that included everything since we are not from this area and did not know any local vendors and every suggestion they made went above our expectations! Top Notch place, highly recommend :)

If I could give this place more stars i would!!! My sincerest thanks to this Venue for literally planning the entire thing! They make it easy, fun, and everything you want. The home is surrounded with many natural and creative beauties. All perfect for a wedding. However, what made it the perfect place for us was the love and compassion that was poured out by the staff. Those aren’t things that can be rented or bought. They can only be given away. This place freely provides a place for new friendships to be built and for two families to become one.

There is not one thing I could have or would have changed about our wedding! We had so much fun and all our guests have commented since the wedding that it was one of the best and gorgeous weddings they’d ever been to.

Villa de amore was the perfect place for me. The all inclusive wedding package made a great place even better. I loved every vendor picked for my wedding. Renee the caterer made the menu perfect! Carlos did a great job with the flowers, everything turned out beautiful! Lauren our photographer was an absolute blast to work with and I enjoyed her creativity! She also coordinated that day which helped everything stay on schedule. Bartenders were super friendly and made fun drinks for everyone! The minister Ken was nice, we were able to meet with him before hand and discuss what we wanted and he created a ceremony perfect for me and my husband which made it special! The DJ john was also fantastic and kept the flow of the night and played awesome music all night! I was so pleased with the way it all turned out. All my vendors worked very well together and had great team work which made my day go off without a hitch! The coordinators Dave and Lauren were very prompt, friendly, and helpful and solved every problem that arose!

Where to begin. This place steals your heart the second you walk up! Friendly staff that makes you feel like family. Where honesty truly is their policy and not only do they tell you that they have your best intentions at heart, they really do. They made sure every step of the way that i was taken care of and that my planning was stress free and fun- - and it was. This venue is more then a venue. Its a family that you become part of. My wedding day far surpassed all my childhood fantasies! I was given everything promised and then some :) my husband and i have gone back twice to visit and have been welcomed with hugs and smiling faces and they even remembered our names. That's the great thing about this place. You're more than dollar signs, you're family.

Since the wedding we took time to sit back and talk about how much we loved our experience at Villa de Amore and how they truly making our dreams come true. It’s not often people go so far out of the way for you, especially when you are a “client”. The staff at Villa de Amore goes above and beyond to make you feel like family and were so efficient with our planning and there for us every step of the way, paying the utmost attention to our every need and questions. You have made the beginning of our lives wonderful!

The people who work at Villa de Amore MAKE villa de amore. The second you walk in the door you truly feel like family. The intimacy of the venue is what sold us and what made our day perfect. The hospitality these people offer is what makes this place a success. I wish them all the luck and continue to recommend this venue to EVERYONE that i know!!

I cannot put into words how much we enjoyed our wedding hosted at Villa de Amore. The all-inclusive package was not only a steal of a deal price wise but made the planning process SUCH a breeze. The coordinators Lauren and Dave are very helpful and kept everything running smooth all throughout the planning and especially day of! The setting is absolutely breathtaking also!

Villa de amore was the perfect place for me. The all inclusive wedding package made a great place even better. I loved every vendor picked for my wedding. Renee the caterer made the menu perfect! Carlos did a great job with the flowers, was a little hard to get a hold of but everything turned out beautiful! Lauren our photographer was an absolute blast to work with and I enjoyed her creativity! She also coordinated that day which helped everything stay on schedule. Bartenders were super friendly and made fun drinks for everyone! The minister Ken was nice, we were able to meet with him before hand and discuss what we wanted and he created a ceremony perfect for me and my husband which made it special!

I just got married at Villa de Amore, and I was so pleased! I was planning my wedding from out of town and this all-inclusive place that was so affordable seemed too good to be true. My price was for 110 guests, included food, 2 bartenders, dj, officiant, cake, flowers, servers, cake cutting fee, parking attendant, all dcorations such as chair/altar decorations/barrel to hold the cake/vineyard access for photos/easles/parasols/shepards hooks, and day of coordinators. The package for $1000 more could have included photography as well, but we decided to go with somebody else. I initially wanted a vineyard wedding but after checking out the Temecula vineyards and VDA, I went with VDA because of price, flexibility, and the sense of intimacy. I really liked that we got to provide our own alcohol because we were able to have a full bar for so much cheaper (and we weren't limited to a particular vineyard's bad wine).

Let me break down the vendors:
1). Venue: Eileen is a bit difficult to reach on the phone, but overall good response over email. She has her son & another assistant helping her so sometimes they will answer the phone. She owns the place, and definitely does a fantastic job at keeping the grounds gorgeous. The place was so pretty the day of the wedding, and since I had never been there at night, I was very pleased with how the grounds looked in the evening. I always get compliments at how beautiful the place is. Bartenders were awesome and showed up many hours before the event started so that was nice for the bridal party and also for the early arriving guests. The day of the wedding, Eileen's staff catered to our every need and everything flowed seamlessly. I wasn't stressed about anything! Thank you VDA!

2). DJ: Manny Verdujo came with the package and overall did a good job. He was late the day of the wedding, and didn't play as many of the songs that we wanted but still was a decent dj who knows how to "feel" the crowd. he also has equipment for slide show which was cheaper than other companies.

3). Officiant: If there's one thing that drove my hubby & I up the wall was how flaky the officiant Ken was. He was horrible!! To reach him we had to try to contact him in 3 different mediums before he would get back to us. The day of, everything turned out okay. We were seriously concerned that he would flake out the day of the wedding. P.S. After this review was posted, Ken did contact us directly to personally apologize for the communications problems.

4). Florist (Flowers by Rodriguez): Carlos was amazing! He is super affordable and very amendable to recommendations...down to you picking all the specific flowers. I paid a bit extra to get more bridesmaid's bouquets, flowers for family, and I had to get extra centerpieces which were all really affordable altogether. He also made me a sample centerpiece months before the wedding.

5). Caterers (Catering by Bitoni): Renee and her husband Billy were really cool. He does all the cooking and she does the business part. They were very flexible, the food was very yummy the day of, and I also upgraded to get the chair ribbons, upgraded china, and the sitdown service. We also enjoyed our tasting very much.

6). Cake (Elegance on Display): Jennifer Duarte did a great job at designing a cake specific to your wishes. Honestly I'm not a big cake person so I won't be able to review the taste that well. I thought my cake looked really good though.

Overall, my day went really well. It was a really classy, beautiful event and the staff at VDA are experienced, accomodating, and very affordable. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. The place was intimate (we got the whole venue to ourselves for the entire day), and we could dictate our schedule without strict limitations.

My wedding experience at Villa de Amore was magical. I fell in love with the place and the staff the second I stepped foot on the property. The biggest compliment i can pay to Villa de Amore is that I was actually able to enjoy my wedding day. The staff at Villa de Amore caters to your every need and truly makes it the most magical experience. The coordinator Lauren kept telling my family and I "This is your day to enjoy, not work" and that's exactly how it was. I had great experiences with every vendor that came from the all inclusive package. John the DJ was awesome and kept everyone entertained and worked well with Lauren to keep the flow of the night going. The food (Renee and her staff) were amazing and the food was DELICIOUS! )he cake was beautiful and yummy. Lauren was there for anything we needed and made sure we stayed on track all night and was very easy to work with. Over all i had an amazing experience at Villa de Amore and would HIGHLY recommend it if you want to enjoy your wedding day :)

Villa de Amore is a physically beautiful venue. This is the reason we chose to have our wedding there. Unfortunately, the service and professionalism we received prior to and the day of our wedding didn't not match the venue's beauty.Had I known working with the owner and "coordinator" would be such a challenge, we would have taken our special occasion elsewhere. When we first met the owner (Eileen) and up until we signed the contract, she was very pleasant. Getting in touch with Eileen was nearly impossible after that(we are still waiting on a response from messages we left a few days after our wedding regarding a missing item). Throughout the planning process she thought my mother was me, up until the wedding day.I, the bride, never met the "coordinator" (Lauren), and we had to hire an outside coordinator to do what she was supposed to do. This being said, we literally paid Lauren to be there and not do anything.Eileen did not do things agreed upon in our contract, adding to the stress of wedding planning, as we had to schedule to get things done that she was supposed to take care of.During the reception, the bartenders complained TO OUR GUESTS that there was no tip jar, IN FRONT OF ME. It was originally requested that there be no tip jar on display (we didn't like the look or feel of it for the occasion), as the two bartenders would be well-compensated for their job. They put the tip jar out, and we requested they put it away. Then, more than once, while I was in the room with my guests, they complained to the guests that the tip jar had been "taken away." This part of the evening really put the icing on the cake when it came to how much we disliked working with these individuals.Don't get me wrong. We had an INCREDIBLE day, with amazing memories to last us a lifetime! It was not the result of the venue, however. My husband and I, along with our friends and family, made that day spectacular. You are reading this review for a reason, and that is to gain insight on where you will share your magical day with your own friends and family. This physical location is very nice, yes, but I don't believe it is worth the stress of dealing with who you will have to deal with. It is not worth the time, energy or money you will spend.

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

Everything went well for the wedding and I did not have one person come to me to advise of any problems. Eileen, Lauren and Becky we all very helpful in making sure my wedding day was just as I wanted. Becky and the bartender were fabulous on the day of the wedding. I received several compliments on the venue, food (thanks Renee) and service. Everyone had a great time. Thank you Eileen, Lauren and Becky for a perfect and memorable wedding day.

We got married on june 16,2007 at villa de amore. Villa de amore is more then just our wedding venue to us, its a 2nd home, the gates at the villa have always been open to us and eileen has always recieved us with open arms. eileen from day one has been more then just another stranger you meet ,shes family. We have known and kept in touch with eileen for 3 years and she has almost been like a second mom to us. She has been a true blessing in our lives. She has always gone out of her way just like family would. For our 3 yr wedding anniversary she and my husband planned out a surprise dinner for me and him with the villa all to ourselves, making more profound memories at villa de amore. I can definately speak for myself and my husband and say that our experience at the villa and with eileen is sumthing that will be forever lasting no doubt about it, and i would definately recommend for everyone to share in this experience at the villa and with eileen if they wish to engage in matrimony and gain a friend for life.

We had our wedding here and it was (BY FAR) the happiest day of my life, from Lauren, Ms. Eileen, the bartenders, Ms. Renee (the recommended caterer) and her staff, Mrs. Dolan (our florist, amazing flowers by the way!!!!) to the beautiful private venue everything was perfect (except the DJ, but he wasn’t recommended by the venue). This amazing place was perfect for us to share our day with our families and closest friends. We, (my husband and I) most definitely recommend Villa De Amore to anyone that wants a romantic, stress free (Eileen & Lauren were awesome) place to celebrate their day. A little pricy, but definitely worth every penny.Great job guys, you really made our day!!!! Love you guys

With the amount we paid in comparison to the things that went wrong we were rather disappointed. The owner of the venue is the wedding planner on the day of. Much of this could have been avoided if we had our own wedding planner who would have ensured everything was taken car of.

Breathtaking venue. Great service. I know that being in the wedding industry is such a chaotic and frustrating job, but Eileen and her staff do it so well & with such grace. Our guests had a great time and some are planning their very own weddings and want to host it here.

Even with all of the fires that day, my children being very ill, and hair dresser flaking that day, I had the time of my life and we would love to do it all over again.

The staff members were amazing, not only were they a huge help, they were always on top of things.

This was such a memorable wedding and I plan to renew our vows in the future there.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding.

I just got married abt 2weeks ago at Villa De Amore, and I have to say it was absolutly amazing!! I searched all over Southern California and for the price, location and amenities - nothing comes close to this place!

The location itself is beautiful, but the owner and managers were so helpful and patient through the planning process.

I attended a wedding here last summer, and it is a GORGEOUS venue! I was paying attention to the lady who seemed to be the coordinator and she was really taking charge and running everything very well. The food was great, the service was wonderful, the grounds were beautiful and the view of the sunset was incredible!

What a beautiful place this was! I have had so many compliments on how amazing everything looked! Everyone truly enjoyed themselves and i could not have asked for a better wedding day! Villa de Amore staff worked hard to make sure that everyone was taken care of with fantastic attitudes and professionalism. I wish them all the luck in the world and HIGHLY recommend booking your special day at this special place.

I've worked with Eileen at Villa de Amore on many occasions over the past few years. Every wedding was beautifully conducted and the grounds are always impeccable. One of my favorite venues in Temecula!
