While venue hunting, I came across the Wedgewood website and saw that one of their venues was a place where a friend had gotten married. She highly recommended them because of how easy they'd made the process for her. Encouraged by her review and the inclusivity and pricing of the packages we saw online, we toured Danza del Sol Winery in Temecula, CA. We chose Danza because they had beautiful ceremony and reception spaces and availability in October 2023, plus we really liked the staff we met with and were happy to learn that the pricing we had seen online was accurate and within our budget! At that time, Danza's partnership with Wedgewood was new and they were about to start major reconstruction of the reception space. The Danza team assured us that the space would be ready in time for our wedding and that if it wasn't, they would take care of us.
Wedgewood venues offer various customizable packages; we chose the Elite package. Our package included some assigned vendors (florist, bakery, and DJ) and recommendations for vendors we got to select (photographer). Our package also included catering, tables, chairs, linens, etc. provided by Wedgewood, so we didn't have to worry about any of that. Working with our assigned vendors was so easy - we had meetings with each of them to make our selections. They were very used to working with Wedgewood and made it clear what our package included and what we could add-on. We also had planning meetings with the Danza del Sol team. They provided us with a binder that outlined the decision we needed to make and timing. In between our meetings, they were super responsive any time I emailed them with questions.
In June 2023, we got a message from Wedgewood sharing the news that the reception space at Danza del Sol would not be ready in time for our wedding. Our initial reaction was panic, but Wedgewood had outlined options including moving to a different venue, changing our date, and cancelling all together; all of the options included a generous refund for our inconvenience, including a full refund if we decided to cancel entirely. We got on a call with the Danza del Sol GM that day and by the next day we had confirmed that we'd be able to move our wedding to Leoness Cellars, down the road from Danza; everything else would stay the same, including our date and the Danza team running run our wedding. We were so relieved and impressed with the way they handled things.
After that, the remainder of our planning went smoothly and we continued to have a great experience with the Danza team. They were accommodating to all of our decoration and miscellaneous requests and continued to be responsive to all my questions. Our wedding day could not have gone any better! Marissa and Ireland executed everything just the way we had requested and did so much to make our day run smoothly; they made it a perfect day for us!
Overall, we’d highly recommend Wedgewood to any couple, especially if you're looking for an inclusive venue. We could not have asked for an easier process! We felt that the way Wedgewood handled the venue switch was very professional and the discount they gave us was above and beyond. I hope that the Danza del Sol space is up and running soon because it should be a really beautiful space and the team they have working there is great! Thank you to Wedgewood and the Danza team for making our day so incredibly special, fun, and...
Read moreMy husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Danza Del Sol's clubhouse.
Overall everything was fantastic. Our wedding went above and beyond all our expectations. Even with major changes due to the site construction, we felt that our event was still valued and that we were taken care of. Marissa was with us throughout our entire wedding process. She was our staff member who showed us the venue for the first time and really built the relationship with us. The experience with her and our first impression really sold us on the location. Throughout the planning process all our questions were answered promptly. It was great to meet the rest of the team throughout the year, Sari, Brinley, and Jordan! Sari was very easy to work with when we had to make event changes. Danza Del Sol was a very personal location for us as a couple and we are so glad we trusted Sari and her team to continue planning our wedding in another part of the venue. We didn't work too much with Brinley but she always answered our email questions as quick as possible and we greatly appreciate her! Our banquet captains Chris and Tony always checked in on us during our wedding reception and served all the food and drinks we needed while at the sweetheart table. The bartenders and banquet team served everyone very well! Lastly Jordan is a fantastic coordinator. She is organized, detailed, made sure we were on time for everything, and made sure our needs and wants were heard and met. Jordan was able to work with our 7 year old flower girl, who was excited and scared at the same time to walk down the aisle. I can guarantee that Jordan's communication and relationship with her greatly impacted her experience at our wedding and made it very positive. Also all our decorations were put in the correct places and I know that couldn't have been done without her! Our wedding was such a beautiful and memorable experience for everyone who attended and it couldn't have been done without the Danza Del Sol Team. We would recommend them x1,000,000 for any...
