Temecula Venues We Love
Over the years, I’ve officiated at some of the most popular Temecula wineries and estates and we’re on a handful of these as the Preferred Wedding Officiant. Not a paid list of vendors; actual recommendations from the winery owners and planners! Falkner Winery, Ponte Winery, Lorimar Vineyards, and Leoness Cellars. Each offers a unique flavor—Tuscan courtyards, vineyard terraces, or rustic barrel rooms that make your ceremony unforgettable.
