Temecula Creek Inn Weddings

My cousin had her wedding here recently and it was one of the best weddings, maybe THE best wedding I’ve ever been to!
The setting is beautiful. She had her ceremony and reception at the Stone House, so the ceremony was under big tall trees, and everyone was able to sit in shade. There were big grassy fields for all the kids to run around in and plenty of space to set up our dinner tables and photobooth and dance floor.
We all really enjoyed the food! The salmon was delicious, as was the starter salad. Maybe the portions were a little too small for some people, but personally I felt full. Plus there were LOTS of desserts offered after the dinner, including smores made on the fire pits! The only sad thing was there were some passed appetizers during their cocktail hour but I never got one…
The only negatives was that it’s right under a highway, so you can hear slight noise from the cars/​trucks and also see the large trucks driving past sometimes. Also there are only 2 «real» bathrooms, but you can rent port-​a-​potties.
TIP: I got bitten by a really WEIRD bug, not just a regular mosquito, bc my bite turned dark red, which has never happened with mosquitoes. Luckily, the event staff had bug spray to offer us, but future bridal parties might want to have that on hand for guests.

Everything was great until we had dinner. Venue was gorgeous, loved the shuttle to the ceremony/​reception, cocktail hour food was ok.
I don’t usually write such negative reviews, but the way they treated my mom and the bride’s mom was appalling. They had the fish with risotto — which was very underdone. Very, very underdone. I’m not the type to complain about things like this, but they spent a lot of money for this and it should be done correctly. We all understood that it could not be re-​done, but they needed to know to improve upon next time. What I expect is for them to apologize and replace it with something else. But nope, they argued with us.
First off, I am of Asian descent, and my mother speaks minimal English. She let them know it was undercooked — the wait staff, instead of apologizing, told my mom know that this isn’t RICE. That’s why she thinks it tastes funny. They made both my mom and the bride’s mom feel like they were idiots for thinking this is rice. They repeatedly came over to tell them that this IS NOT rice, assumed they have never had risotto and that’s why they aren’t familiar with it, and I finally said to them, «I have had risotto countless times, I have made risotto myself, and this is underdone.»
They finally said that the chef will come out to speak to us because they did not want to leave it at that and that our satisfaction was important. Chef never came… and the meal was well over.
I am very livid at their response. My mother has had risotto at many wedding venues, and it isn’t supposed to be hard like that. The bride’s mother even said that she was at the tasting and it didn’t taste like this. The waitress was rude enough to say to us that risotto isn’t rice and that what we may have had is rice pilaf. Further insinuating that all we know is rice, rice, rice. Secondly, after the manager had come to solve the problem, the waitress comes over again to let us know risotto is not rice and it is a sort of pasta.
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Risotto IS rice… typically made using Arborio rice.

Wow, what a great venue! We just went to a wedding here and it was one of the most beautiful outdoor events we’ve been to. A lot of the decorations and setting were done by the bride and groom’s family, but it was great.

We can’t thank Danielle and the staff of Temecula Creek Inn enough for the wonderful job they did on our son and new daughter-in-law’s wedding last night! It was everything we’d imagined and hoped for! An absolute magical evening and a lifetime of incredible memories!

As a local Temecula Wedding Photographer I have been a part of about 20 weddings, including the Stone House and Courtyard locations. I can tell you the Staff at TCI are top-​notch and go above an beyond to make your day unforgettable. I can also say the photo opportunities are endless here! Pricing is reasonable and the rooms are really great.
