Venues & Event Spaces near Menifee, CA

“My now-husband and I had our wedding here earlier this month, and it was perfect! We couldn't have been happier! The venue is a little garden oasis in the desert, perfect for the intimate (under 50 guests) wedding we always envisioned. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was--especially at night with the fairy lights turned on! We booked the venue back in May 2022, and the team at The Orchard made the whole planning process so easy all the way up to the day of the wedding. We also used their recommended vendors: photographer, videographer, florist, baker, and DJ. The food was excellent (I chose the salmon and pasta, husband got the prime rib), every vendor was professional and delivered a high-quality service, and the day-of coordinators and banquet captain were a joy to work with and kept everything running smoothly all day. They even wrote us a thank-you note and packed up some of the food for us to take home at the end of the night! Overall, it was the best day ever! We're so glad we went with Wedgewood! Thank you again to everyone at The Orchard who made our wedding so magical! Highly recommend this venue to low-key couples like us who want a beautiful, intimate, and stress-free wedding!”

“What a fabulous meeting space! We hosted a women's event and booked the Juniper Room for two days. This clean, well-designed, spacious room had everything we needed and then some. Access to the kitchen and two well-stocked clean bathrooms were appreciated too. Best of all was Miguel! If we had a question, he was there. We will most definitely be back!”

“We truly love Final Strike, our son absolutely loves the classes and it’s thriving. Mr. Cunningham is an excellent instructor and the black belt leaders are really awesome with the kids; specially Mr. Durbin, Ms. Urquiza & Ms. Rentar they are remarkably patient with the little ones and a will be a great teachers one day.The classes are great no matter the age or fitness level and teach kids a lot more than just martial arts, they work on their discipline, listening skills and confidence.The negative aspect is the cost, the basic program is in line with the average around the area, but the other programs available are pretty pricey specially when you take into account the initial investment you are required to pay up front.”

“Had my wedding here and I am just so happy how everything came out perfectly!! I had 28 days to plan my wedding and mike and larry did not disappoint!!

Food was great, the garden was beautiful, I’m just so amazed on how everything came out PERFECTLY!! Thank you for making this moment so memorable and beautiful :)”

“Been in Temecula Valley since 2009. Went to a few wineries. But recently we've been going to see musician friends at Lorimar and decided to join their wine club. Our 1st. Amazing experience at Lori Mar, from the staff, the facility, the wine, the entertainment, the food. It feels like family. A great savings to be a member.”

“Very interesting collection of historical railroads. Jim was giving us tour and himself was full of knowledge about trains and history. We were there in the middle of the week and no event was going on . But as Jim was explaining on the events is very exciting to ride the trains and learn about them and have fun . Only finding the entrance door was hard and was not showing right in GPS.”

“Had zero expectations on the food thought it would be more like winery snack food. I was wrong the burger was AMAZING and the service from Megan was just as amazing. Will definently be back!”

“HONEST Review. We had our wedding here about 2 months ago. Just know this place is not cheap. Even having our wedding on a weekday, it was extremely expensive. There were lots of things that were promised when we first were about to sign our contract that did not happen. - They stated we could bring as much alcohol as we wanted, but we had to make sure to bring it the day before since only the bar was allowed to give alcohol away. Well at our tasting other couples said they were told we could only bring ONE bottle of hard alcohol and maybe a case of beer. The bartender at the tasting, our coordinator, and the food caterer all gave us different answers. In the end we brought 2 bottles of hard alcohol and 3 cases of beer and they gave it out. BUT they stop serving alcohol an HOUR & A HALF before our wedding ended. We paid for the full hosted bar and most of our guests had to pay for their drinks after. Kinda ridiculous. They even went as far as to not pass out our beer that we paid for. The bartender let us know only we could be the ones to drink that since it was past cut off time. The older Hispanic bartender was incredible though she was the best. - the groom and bridal suite are beyond gorgeous. Unfortunately I did not get to use the bridal suite since they only let you in 5 hours before the ceremony. I had to get ready offsite and it made me so late to my wedding. Such a shame that you pay so much money and they won't let you in earlier.. - the buffet dinner was eh. At the tasting the food was so incredible but when it got to the wedding I was seriously so disappointed. We did end up having about 5-6 people no show to our wedding so those plates went to waste or whatever they do with the food. I had a last minute change to my photobooth people and they didn't offer my vendors any food. I feel like that's common sense but whatever. My dad also tried to get some chicken since their portion sizes are kid sized I'm not even kidding and they denied him. I felt awful that my guests were practically starving. The hors d'oeuvres they handed out were cold right after our ceremony and that was unfortunate since I was really looking forward to it. - BUT. There's absolutely a reason we picked this venue. There is nothing like it. It's so beautiful and they obviously take so much pride in this venue. I loved my wedding, and obviously things could be different but in the end it was a great day. They didn't have to, but they put the fire on in the lake since it was very dark when it was time to take our photos & it was a really thoughtful thing to do.”

“A nice family oriented venue that's well maintained and with adequate parking. It's worth a visit with family and friends for a round or two of bowling.”

“Great even spot. It's a split service building... multiple things can go on seperatly... be respectful and respectful of the handicapped spots- of you're not, dont park there. Clean facilities too.”

“At first everything seemed to be above standard, as what you would expect from such a new hotel.I don't know what the deal is with their smoke detectors however on 3 separate occasions it had went off on its own.One time was from my girlfriend straightening her hair. Then from microwaving a digorno microwavable pizza. Finally, when I was ironing my shirt for the following morning.Each time time we received a call from the front desk asking I'd everything was okay in which we explained the situation.The following morning we got a knock on our door at 8 am from a guy weilding a ladder saying he needs to check out the fire alarm. Being still in our sleepwear we asked for a few minutes. The man walked in and spent the entire time looking at our belongings in the room. When he got just below the fire alarm he picked a little chunk of deodorant that had broken off from the stick examining it closely. Barely glanced at the smoke detector which still had solid red lights. Then proceeded to tell us that we were wrong about our claim that those lights had been on since the first time it went off two nights prior and accused us of smoking cigarettes and that he could smell them. For one, I do not smoke cigarettes at all. We quickly deny his accusation and he leaves.Shortly after we receive a call on the room phone from the front desk asking what would be a good time for someone to come by and reset the alarm. We agreed on noon.Noon comes by and it's the same "technician" or "maintenance man."Weilding the same ladder and not one tool on him he claims that we need to be out of the room for 30 minutes while he resets the smoke detector.During his previous walk-through his eyes were studying all of our belongings rather than the smoke detector. The front desk did not say some strange man was going to be in our room unattended for 30 minutes. Every other hotel I've ever been to. When a room needed some sort of service done not once has it been required that we need to leave the room while it was being serviced.I tell him that we were not notified of anything like that and I do not feel comfortable with a stranger being unattended in the room without anyone being here. Once again this man has no tools, just a ladder.He says that the fire department will have to come and remove me from the room to reset it. That's if I don't allow him to be in the room unattended.I tell him that the best I can do is wait in the entry way by the bathroom with the door open. This still wasn't good enough for him.Annoyed I stood out in the hallway with the door ajar listening and he did not even undo the ladder to touch the smoke detector and was in the room for a matter of 3 minutes.This was an absolutely bizarre experience. I've had belongings stolen from my room from housekeeping at other establishments and I'll be damned if I let that happen again.Whatever this man was in my room to do it had nothing to do with our smoke detector. How did a task that was supposed to take 30 minutes now magically be finished in a couple minutes?I believe he had every intent to rifle through our belongings if not that his purpose seemed to be of malicious intent.Never have I ever heard of reseting a smoke detector being such a "safety hazard." That all occupants must be vacated from the room.Experience had red flags written all over it and whatever that man did was not in the best interest of serving the customer.”

“I went to the skating rink for the first time on November 10th veterans Day weekend being a veteran got in free That was a nice surprise. I truly like this skating ring We went 1:30 to 4:30 session a lot of kids and older adults who are getting active again perfect for us. The staff there did a great job wasn't real crowded but it was a lot of fun.One of the things I liked; it truly had a diversity of people and the music reflected it. They play a little bit of everything and a little bit for everyone. You could tell the regulars, who may not have liked the music they just adapted and had on their own headphones which I thought was pretty nice.I haven't skated since the pandemic before that it was almost 30 years but it came back pretty quick had a wonderful time and nobody was being crazy What a nice day and a great way to spend veterans weekend.”

“Thank you Esmeralda and staff for making this day simple, beautiful and smooth. The venue was beautiful and accommodating. We have received so many compliments from our guest stating the banquet hall was elegant and gorgeous.”

“As a scratch golfer, it becomes difficult to find a challenging course but this one just did it for me! I never thought that I would have difficulty locating a fairway from the tee boxes, but to my amazement, I could hardly tell where the rough and the fairway met due to the challenging landscaping of this course. Landing on a fairway does not mean you will be in a good position for your next shot either! No sir it doesn't! Finding your ball on the fairway will take a while and a good set of eyes so make sure your senses are sharp before starting. Approach shots are almost always going to be off of hard dirt, rocky fairways or bunkers that are filled with a concrete like sand!Now on to the greens! My oh my was this a treat! so much so that I just had to add a photo to this review to do this description justice. So, forget everything you think you know about lining up a put or getting the right pace on it. That's out the window! This course demands you think outside the box and dig deep into your instincts and intuition. The greens are just absolutely covered in fungus which helps provide erratic ball movements and pace changes. These greens really humbled me and made me wanna go back to the drawing board to re-think my putting philosophy.Absolute hidden gem of a golf course 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone who wants to challenge themselves, but dont take my word for it! GO PLAY! My only regret is not finding this course much much sooner!”
