My husband and I got married at Mission Inn on March 12, 2022. We reached out to Mission Inn somewhat late, as we realized we had another tour lined up nearby and wanted to see if we could also tour Mission Inn on the same day. Jessica quickly answered our email and was happy to accommodate us! She met us in the lobby and brought us around to all three ceremony and reception sites, discussing our views for our wedding and answering any question we could think of along the way. Jessica was personable and professional the entire time, and we could feel her love for Mission Inn on our tour! We went to the Legends ceremony and reception site last, and I just knew this was where I wanted to marry my person. Jessica sat with us for quite a while after the tour was complete to further discuss our wedding vision and to introduce the all-inclusive vendor package. My then-fiance and I made that decision official before we even got to the car to leave; we would do the all-inclusive package and get married at Legends! We emailed Jessica the next day to let her know the happy news. From there, we were assigned Helen as our catering manager and were provided the list of vendors who were included in the all-inclusive package so we could start choosing who we wanted for our big day. There were a wide variety of vendors who offered everything we wanted and more! We also worked closely with Helen (who is amazing, by the way) to choose every detail of our ceremony space and reception. The catering team was able to make my decade-long dream of having a late night mashed potato bar come true, as well as ensure my then-fiancé was able to show his love for chicken tenders by having it as an appetizer. Literally any time we said "Hey Helen, we were thinking of doing X," she was completely on board and found a way to make it happen. She's like a wedding wizard. Anyway so after thirteen months of planning, the day finally arrived. It was so stormy in the morning, but then the clouds parted and I think I literally heard angels singing. Our ceremony space was beautiful, and our upgrade choices (like white gloved service and passed champagne after the ceremony on the way to cocktail hour) were executed perfectly. Every staff member we interacted with was an absolute pleasure, and it seemed they all tried to bend over backwards to ensure my husband and I had the best time. The reception continued in the same manner, and everything was beautiful. The vendors we had carefully chosen from the all-inclusive list were exceptional, and truly helped us have the absolute best day and night of our lives. But it didn't stop there! When my husband and I got back to our room, we found desserts from our wedding along with a sweet note and a bottle of champagne. We enjoyed an amazing brunch at La Hacienda the next morning (I am still dreaming about the Prime Rib) before departing. It is now nearly three weeks after the big day, and we still have guests contacting us to tell us what an amazing time they had at our wedding. They compliment the beautiful grounds and warm staff, as well as the amazing food and overall atmosphere. I am very sad that our wedding day is over, and wish we could relive it many more times to come! We will be returning to Mission Inn in the future to revel in the memories we made on our big day. I would not hesitate to recommend Mission Inn to any future couples considering getting married here, and we highly recommend the ease of the all-inclusive package. DO IT, you will not regret it! Our wedding far surpassed our wildest dreams, and we credit that to the staff and vendors recommended by...
Read moreWhile we had a wonderful wedding there are a few touches that I was bummed about once it was all said and done. It was not worth it to do the all inclusive package, the employee that sold us on that is no longer working there. I ended up paying more money for less. I wish someone would have provided me with a detailed pricing sheet from the very beginning. We were told the same chef that cooked for us for our first tasting would be the same chef on the wedding day, that was not the case however. Also we were under the impression we were paying for deluxe bar, I asked if they would be able to make special drinks like mojitos and cosmos, I was told yes but day of the wedding the bartender only had liquor and mixers like soda and juice. My own father wasn’t served food and went hungry night of the wedding. We asked if we could get married at 5PM to prevent our guests from being blinded and sweaty from the sun but we were told 4PM is the “best” time. I ended up with photos of every one of my guests squinting and covering their eyes. I had about 6 points of contact throughout the entire process, which made email threads and getting in contact with someone extremely difficult. We were told we would be in the honeymoon suite which to me meant the nicest room in the whole facility however we were in a room that felt like just another room. Overall It was not worth the money we paid. I would’ve had our wedding at Bella Collina had I known how much money it was going to cost us from the beginning. Everything needs to be updated, all the paperwork is still the same as it was in 2008, the “old feel” is starting to...
Read moreMy wife and I first met Jessica and Mission Inn on a whim when we decided to attend their “Seasons of Love” showcase. We did a group tour with Jessica and had a amazing time meeting all their vendors. After the showcase, we couldn’t stop thinking about the beautiful location and the amazing staff that we met that day... and the delicious hors d’oeuvres that we enjoyed while we were there. After comparing locations and staff, we couldn’t imagine holding our ceremony in any other place with any other people. We then met Bri and our love for Mission Inn grew even more. Jessica and Bri are amazing ladies with remarkable attention to detail that made our entire planning process simple and stress free. We looked forward to meeting with them at all of the various wedding shows and intentionally hunted them down just to say hello. Bri-Ica made our wedding day and night, a night to remember. We received rave reviews from those who attended who also fell in love with the scenery, food, and service... but really those reviews belong to Mission Inn and their staff. Bri-Ica really out did themselves and we look forward to visiting the resort each month as our getaway from reality and reliving our “Happily Ever After”. Thank you Jessica and Bri for everything you have done we couldn’t be...
