We're getting married next April (LA), and we're currently looking into wedding venues. We don't plan a big wedding, there will be around 70-80 guests. Still, the prices I saw are astronomical, honestly. The idea is to have both the ceremony and the reception outdoors, and ideally to have the catering and everything included. So far, Villa di Rocca looks like our best option. I actually really like it, the natural surroundings are beautiful, take a look. We're not aiming for something super fancy, like an elegant ballroom or whatever. In practical terms, the price, the location, everything works for us (not to mention there is enough parking space). The only thing is - they only have one review, and, okay, it's 5 stars, but it's only one. Yes, we will actually visit the place before we commit, of course. I was just wondering if there's any chance that someone here has been to a wedding there and could share some first-hand impressions? For example, I checked some venues that looked lovely and were not too expensive, but the reviews describe the toilets as abysmal, or the staff are snooty, or the food is horrible... It's a very long shot to hope that some of you got married there, I know, but if you at least attended a wedding in Villa di Rocca - help me out here.

Sorry, I can't really help you, I just wanted to say congratulations! The place looks really cool. It's a very specific question, so perhaps there are some weddings/California-related communities where more people could pitch in. I mean, of course, it doesn't hurt to ask, you never know. Either way, cheers and congratulations one more time! 🥂

Thank you! Good suggestion. I'll look into the communities of this type, perhaps it's even better to try to find California than specifically weddings-related.
