Channon and Kari were both amazing. We toured in 2023, and Channon was extremely welcoming and warm. We toured on a wedding day, which was perfect because we were able to envision what our special day would look like. We toured about 7 other venues in the area and quickly realized that Oak & Ivy at Home Sweet Home was where we wanted to have our special day. Kari went through the budget with us before we hired her on, and she was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. I can't recommend her enough for planning. She planned a Taylor Swift themed Speakeasy that was AMAZING, and would highly recommend doing one if it's in the budget. Kari also did our florals- we loved them! Kari and Channon were great at communicating when things were due so we were able to stay on track without stressing out. We loved having our wedding day there and wouldn't change it for the world!

Higuera Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, helpful, and easy. Kristin was so supportive and went above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we dreamed of. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and well-kept, providing the ideal backdrop for our celebration. Having all of our friends and family stay on-site with us made the entire weekend that much more memorable and special. We couldn't have asked for a better venue - it was truly perfect in every way.

The Madonna Inn was a beautiful wedding venue, but the communication and coordination with the staff left much to be desired. The head venue coordinator was difficult to work with and constantly butted heads with our wedding coordinator, making our day more stressful than it needed to be. The chairs for the ceremony were set up just 10 minutes before our guests arrived, and the overall communication from the venue could have been a lot better. Despite these issues, the staff was generally great, and the venue itself was stunning. However, the poor coordination and communication made the planning process more challenging than it should have been.
