First off Roy and I would like yo say thank you so much for your kind hospitality today and welcoming us into your home. It has been a challenge for us both to find a place that we felt we could afford, and have that feeling knowing this is where we are going to have the most memorable day at. From the moment we drove up the drive way we both looked at eachother and smiled because we just knew at that moment, this is it. We are both overwhelmed with excitment and joy right now and we can not wait for our wedding day. It's been difficult for me especially since i have no family here and his family isno longer in California, So we have had limitted resources and helo with this. We have been engaged for a year now and we want more then anything to get married but the stress has been getting to us not having my family her to help guide us. But we felt so comfortable with you today and I truly thank you for being so kind, I really feel like we can now do this and move forward. We feel confident having our wedding at your homethis would be a huge relief for us and would help tremendously and you would fill in the void of our family not being here to help us.

Sincerly,
Amanda and Roy

The best word that describes the experience we shared with family and friends on Cambria and Leo's wedding day is "exquisite" from start to finish. Your vision in creating Villa de Amore made our Cambria's dream wedding come true. Thank you for helping with everything the day of. You and Lauren make an awesome team. This unforgettable day will live on forever.

Most thankful for such an enchanting day,
Darrell and Innes

There are not enough words to express our thanks to you and your family for all you have done for Andy and Martha.

When we came in May for Andys graduation, he gave us a tour of your home and it was clear that it was a very special place filled with very special people.

Your home is surrounded with many natural and creative beauties. All perfect for a wedding. However, what made it the perfect place for our kids wedding was the love and compassion that was poured out by you and your family for months on their behalf. Those aren’t things that can be rented or bought. They can only be given away. And freely you gave.

You freely provide a place for new friendships to be built and for two families to become one. Your gift was not just for Andy and Martha; it was truly for us all.

Gods Blessings to you all!
Pam and Paul

A hallmark in the Temecula Valley Wine Country - in both substance and style - Villa de Amore counts as one of Southern California's premier Wedding venues.

Villa de Amore's lady of the manor - Eileen Rivard - spent years researching Wedding venues, exploring her personal vision of elegance. Drawing on these studies, she proceeded to design an elegant, romantic Mediterranean estate complete with fountains, vineyards, Spanish tiles and formal rose gardens where guests can stroll, mingle and relax.

Fixated on providing a special day for special Brides, Villa de Amore furnishes a private Bridal Suite, a Groom's Room, refreshments for the Wedding party and a Wedding Coordinator for the Ceremony and rehearsal.

We wax philosophical about such a place because this attention to detail is more valued today than ever. When the Bride, Groom, Wedding party and family arrive at the appointed hour for the Ceremony, they need to be able to think no further such thoughts as, "I need to . . ." This is the point a professional Wedding staff takes over. When all is said and done, this is the point you've driven through the gates at Villa de Amore. "

Words cannont express our gratitude for all you've done for us! You made our day so unbelievable, so special. You're a true jem! Thank you from the bottom our hearts!

Big Hugs and Love,
Cambria and Leo

Thank You,

Marlene and Bill

I attended the Thompson/Ryan wedding this past Sunday and I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with what you’re doing and the business you have created at Villa de Amore. What a truly beautiful location and a beautiful home to boot! I admire the work you’ve done and what you’ve accomplished.

I’ve been a caterer and have worked for some of the biggest catering companies in Phoenix and I can’t tell you how badly the greater Phoenix area needs places like yours!

So, from one hospitality person to another my hat’s off to you.

Sincerely,
Chef Brenda Wilkening

You have a beautiful place and a great business model and a fantastic attitude + professionalism! Good luck on your endeavors!

All the best!

Thank you so much for everything you did for Raymond and I. I’m sure you hear this a lot, but our wedding was  more than we expected. Raymond used the word ‘magical’ and that’s what it was. 

You don’t know how appreciative we are to have had your help and selfless generosity. I know you gave us a great deal for our budget and we cant begin to thank you enough.

Please thank everyone in your staff as well. You all were awesome!

Thank You!!!

Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful property for us. We couldnt think of a better place to get married! You have been a wonderful help! Thanks Again.

Ryan and Kerry

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to you and your staff.

Our daughter Carri Willes was married to Jeremy Hershey. We wanted you to know how much we appreciate the work you did. By opening your home and sharing your heart, you gave us a day we will always remember.

Not only us but also our family and friends had a day to remember filled with joy and happiness because of a flawless event. One relative was quoted saying “A fairytale wedding.” On both a professional and personal level, we are very impressed how smooth the whole event went. We really appreciated the time that our guest and us
were able to spend together for fun and reflection during the wedding.

You did a great job taking care of everything in a courteous and professional manner. Again, Thanks so much for your enthusiastic participation in our daughters wedding.

We have no doubt that it would not have been the success that it was without your presence.

Villa de Amore was the perfect place to have a wedding.

Sincerely,
Brad and Julie

I attended a wedding here last summer, and it is a GORGEOUS venue! I was paying attention to the lady who seemed to be the coordinator and she was really taking charge and running everything very well.

The food was great, the service was wonderful, the grounds were beautiful and the view of the sunset was incredible!

it has been 7 mohts already since our wedding! Thank you again for making our day more amazing than we ever anticipated. You have no idea how many compliments we recieved about your venue, the wedding just turned out beautifully. Thank you and I hope everything is going really well for you!

With love,

Nicole and Jonh

You have a lovely site for entertaining and out time spent there was magical. I understand your villa being threatened to close its doors. Please so not less that happen as it would be a loss in the magical department.

Elaine

Thank  you so much for such a beautiful venue for Nghia and Chrissie Le’s wedding. I was very pleased with the food and all the set up.

Best Regards, 
Connie

Our daughter was married here in June. It was truly a wonderful experience. The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The staff was friendly and very efficient. Eileen has a very easy and relaxed personality and she made us feel relaxed, as well. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have her wedding. I would recommend Villa de Amore to anyone.

Thank you for such a beautiful and well coordinated day! We had a great time and have heard nothing but great comments and compliments on the facility and how beautiful everything was.

Once again THANK YOU for such a beautiful day!

Love,
Sarah

Thanks to all for the perfect day for our daughters wedding. This was a memorable day, one we will not forget. Thank you for all your hard work, to make this day so very special for us.

Sincerely yours,
Ed and Valarie

Thank you for an amazing day! If you ever need the Rybacek/McAuley family for a testimonial, send those folks our way.

The best part of the wedding was the whole “vibe” of the affair. At the cost of sounding like and old hippie, “totally positive vibrations filled the air!” This is because of all the positive people involved.

You and yours provided the best possible atmosphere for such an important day. We greatly appreciate all of your advise and counsel though out all of this mayhem.

Yours,
Kix

We can't thank you enough for all your help with Natalie's wedding. You were awesome and we appreciate all that you did for her and us. Everyone commented on the beautiful setting.

Thank you so very much for all you did to make our daughter's wedding beautiful. IIt was a dream come true and we could not have done it without your kindness. God will bless you someday for it! Thanks again- we appreciate you so much.

Laura and Bill

This is a little late but I wanted to thank you for all you did to make Stacys and Ryans Wedding a success. In spite of the weather and the change of location, it was fun!!!

Breathtaking venue. Great service. I know that being in the wedding industry is such a chaotic and frustrating job, but Eileen and her staff do it so well & with such grace. Our guests had a great time and some are planning their very own weddings and want to host it here.

Even with all of the fires that day, my children being very ill, and hair dresser flaking that day, I had the time of my life and we would love to do it all over again.

The staff members were amazing, not only were they a huge help, they were always on top of things.

This was such a memorable wedding and I plan to renew our vows in the future there.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding.

Thank you so much for your effort in the year proceeding our wedding and on the day of. Everything worked out wonderfully! The site was beautiful and the added bonus of a tent was a huge plus. We will highly recommend you to our friends, and on BridalInsider.com. Once again, thank you for all your work in making our special day truly special.

Sincerely,
Tyler and Aimee

I cant believe it's already been a year since we got married. It truly was the best day of our lives and we wanted to thank you again for helping make it such a beautiful day. W have such great memories at Villa de Amore.

Thank You,

Thank you so much for such a wonderful gift! Your wedding site is absolutly breathtaking! Everything was perfect and it would have never been so beautiful if it were not for your generosity! It was a hit! Everyone said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you so very much!

Kevin, Nash, and Lyndsi

A lovely venue which looks like it was once a residence sits at the peak of a wonderful vineyard and rolling hills.. I came here for a wedding this past Memorial day weekend. Pretty manicured rose gardens, fountains with angels and wrought iron sconces pepper this lovely property. The afternoon to sunset was wonderful, painting the vineyard canvases with different shades of vibrant orange. I would highly recommend this delightful and classy venue for any event.

Recently we have had the pleasure of shooting some weddings at Villa De Amore winery in Temecula CA. I must say, this place is immaculate! Nestled deeply in the heart of wine country, this lush Mediterranean style estate sits on 5 acres of the most beautiful landscape surrounded by rolling hills with vineyards as far as the eye can see.

Some of the amenities include two banquet rooms, bridal suite, full catering facility, and a groom’s dressing room. Guys, you’re going to love this, the groom’s dressing room also includes a pool table. That's right; a little nervous, shoot some pool with the guys to take the edge off.

I could talk all day about how amazing this place is but you’re just going to have to see for yourself.

I just wasnted to give you my biggest THANK YOU!!! for letting us come use your beautiful home yesterday for the pre wedding photo shoot! When i first toured your property for my wedding, i never imagined i'd be running all around "picking grapes"...i had a blast! Ha Ha! And i really appreciate how you made me feel so comfortable during the shoot. i think it's really going to show in the pictures, so im sure Antonio will thank you when he gets back from Spain! i'll let you know when I get the pictures and we can see the final product...i'm so excited! So thank you again for neing awesome!

Love,
Kitty

You are just a treasure and we thank you and love you for what you have done.

Kathy, Patty, Kerry, and Luci

I just wanted to say thank you again for everything. My wedding was beautiful, just the way I imagined it would be, I cant tell you how many pleasant comments I got because of your property.Everyone told me it was worth the drive.

You were so helpful and my family thought you were just so sweet. I wish I could get married again and do it all over.

Love,
Yuli and Willy

Thank you very very much for everything. I know for most of the part it was hard to understand since everything was in Japanese but I hope you enjoyed parts of it.

Thanks to you guys, everything went perfect and we ware really really happy about how our wedding went. Eileen, you have a really great place. Everybody loved your place and on top of that the weather was beautiful!! I think none of my guests had ever been to a wedding ceremony such as this one.

Again, thanks for everything and I hope to see you guys again!

Best Regards,
Seiichi

WE HAD A BLAST! I hope you know that. There is not one thing I could have or would have changed about our wedding! I am still smiling to this day. SOOOOO many guests have commented since the  wedding that it was one of the best and gorgeous weddings they’d ever been to. I agree! The pictures? ARE AMAZING! 

There are no words to describe the joy we feel being united in the way we are. We honestly just sit here and talk  and talk about how much we love you guys for truly making our dreams come true. It’s not often people go all out for us, normally, we go it alone, but you have made the beginning of our lives wonderful!

We do hope to see you soon.

Love Always,
Mr. and Mrs. Pham

Sincerely,
Callie & Hanwei
