The HomeStead in Oak Glen

Just had my wedding here last night and since then I have been showered with compliments from guests who were in awe of how beautiful the venue is and how attentive Paula and her staff were. My partner and I felt like VIPs sitting in the sweetheart booth getting doted on by the wait staff. The fact that the venue is inclusive of florals, catering, music, and more is simply unmatched and we loved that The Homestead didn't feel like a corporately owned venue--they seemed to be really invested in making sure we were happy and as stress free as possible. The bride whisperers were also just amazing. If you like venues with a rustic look surrounded by beautiful landscapes and personal touches galore, this is the venue for you!

This place is magical. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Every detail was attended to and they're freakin awesome to be around. Love love love The Homestead.

I wish I could relive my wedding day again and again thanks to the Homestead. Everyone left the wedding telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to thanks to the amazing service and venue. The Homestead helped my husband and I create the wedding our dreams and they took such amazing care of us on the big day. They helped set up and break down all the decorations so we didn't have to stress about that and they served us all night making sure we had enough food and drinks and anything else we needed. We both felt so special and taken care of the whole night so we could just be in the moment and not worry about a thing. The entire staff and their contracted vendors are amazing! I hope all my friends get married here so I can experience the magic of this venue again and again!

Had my wedding here, great experience from beginning to end. Friendly and helpful staff, venue schedules you with vendors, everything was straight forward and easy. I also appreciate the flexibility of adding more guests last minute. Paula was our planner, she's the best, very responsive and knowledgeable. DJ Milo was delightful, he also doubles as a MC, made everybody had a blast. The food was great, the waiting staff are all young and good looking, made the event more upscale. The venue was beautiful, much more scenic than a golf course or hotel venue.

The HomeStead in Oak Glen is an AMAZING venue! We were immediately taken in by the beauty of this venue, and knew this was the place for us. The HomeStead is like one stop shopping for weddings - so much was included in their package, that pretty much all we needed was a dress, a tux, an officiant and a photographer. During the planning session, we said we wanted a 1950's inspired wedding and The HomeStead was totally on board - even going as far as having the staff wear 1950's inspired waitress and soda jerk uniforms. They were quick to understand the theme and overall look we were going for, and offer suggestions to make our wedding the best day ever. Our wedding was to be July 22, and when we told them we wanted to do something special for my sisters who were married July 20 and July 21 (several years ago), they were enthusiastic to offer ideas and suggestions. DJ Milo came up with the best idea to play their First Dance songs and my sisters and their husbands joined my husband and I on the dance floor as we all danced to their songs. Thanks DJ Milo! My sisters were happily surprised! On the day of the wedding, we were not at all stressed and were able to enjoy our day, because The HomeStead had everything taken care of. All we had to do was show up! While we were getting ready, The HomeStead team was busy setting up and decorating for our wedding. And it was so beautiful!! All of our guests said this was the best wedding they've been to, and so much fun! Huge thanks to Paula, the Wedding Coordinator, for making our day so amazing; thanks to DJ Milo for making it such a fun party; thanks to Lisa the florist for her amazing, colorful floral arrangements; thanks to Lisa the Bride Whisperer for being our right hand woman of the day and helping with anything we needed during the ceremony and reception; thank you to Lexi for helping us with rehearsal and answering every question we had; and finally, thank you to all staff for participating in our theme and making our day so wonderful.

This place has a lot of potential, but they have horrible staff. The older lady in charge was such a party pooper. First she STEALS our cooler from our cabin because she said we did not purchase the drink package. I would have understood that we weren't able to drink but instead of talking to us she had someone come and steal our cooler from our room while we were taking pictures. Never did she talk to us or anything. Just took it and expected us too not be mad. The dj, the servers, and younger staff were great. But the higher ups had no real interest on helping us. And even after all this, she still kicked us out 4 min before we actually had to leave . She stood behind us and kept telling us too leave. No reason for this lady to be running things. We had a alot of patience with her but she kept pushing peoples buttons. We kept our cool, but she kept taking advantage of us being nice.

We just had our wedding here 9/30/22 and WOW!! You truly exceeded all expectations and we could not have been happier. It was truly a dream! We felt so taken care of since day 1. Our family and friends are still in awww as well!! Everybody is saying it's their favorite wedding they have attended and your team seamless and professional. Can't thank Lexi enough for giving us the best 1st tour. Paula you are a saint! Thank you for all of your support during the process. You are very easy to work with and accommodating. Audrey, you were an absolute gem and I really enjoyed working with you on the bar set up Abe signature drinks. Your calculations were dead on! The drinks were phenomenal as well. Having Lisa as my "whisperer" for the day was the best experience. Lisa you made such a special impact on my biggest day and for that I can't thank you enough. You took care of everything and made sure Carlos and I ate, made an appearance at the photo booth, had a cocktail in hand Found a lost charm within minutes... I could literally go on. Ps thank you for fluffing my dress throughout the photos post ceremony!! My photos are even more beautiful because of that!! The DJ absolutely KILLED it!! So many people danced and the only thing we would have changed would be to add another hour of dancing!! All of the songs sent to him were played perfectly. Our house mom for the morning to ceremony was so sweet. Constantly filling the water and juices, providing snacks and checking in on us regularly! Now flowers... again they were also perfect!! So beautiful, truly. And my bouquet smelled phenomenal as well. Thank you to the HomeStead family for your hospitality and ensuring we had the absolute best day of our lives!!If you are searching for a venue, look no further, truly!! They provide everything you need really, I didn't want to have to deal with a bunch of different vendors so that was a huge selling point for us personally and boy did it pay off.

The Homestead is simply AMAZING! Me and my wife couldn't of picked a better place to get married. The venue itself is beautiful, but that wasn't even the best part. Paula, and the staff went above and beyond for us. They treated us like FAMILY. From planning day to the wedding, they had it all covered. The Homestead did everything we asked, and then some. They gave us such great ideas. From the DJ, to the flowers, and catering, everything went so smoothly. We felt at home there. Our families and friends did as well. Our guests kept complimenting on how beautiful venue is, and how well they were treated by the employees. Thank you Homestead, for such a wonderful experience.

The owner, Paula, is manipulative and deceitful! We were a small wedding group with a short time span until our wedding day. She kept stringing us along for two weeks promising us everything was moving along and not to worry. She finally sent us all the documents and was wanting to charge us a fortune that was quite a bit higher than her advertised price. The real insult in her exorbitant price was the exclusion of a meal, dessert and all amenities that is normally included. Many people told us she pulls this stunt while waiting for a larger wedding group. Paula's apology for pulling this stunt was rude and insulting! Thank Heaven for Serendipity in Oak Glen They were beyond fantastic with their beautiful and gorgeous venue, delicious food, and the most welcoming staff Our wedding was everything we dreamed of because of Serendipity's love and amazing attention to detail. We dodged a bullet with The Homestead. It would have been a disaster. One star was one too many‼

The HomeStead is a stunning venue with excellent service. Paula was very clear and communicative. We got to the cottages very early in the day and they took care of us. It rained when we were supposed to start the ceremony a d Paula and her team were all over it. They checked forecasts for when we would have a break, adjusted timelines real time and kept us where we needed to be. They covered all the dinner tables with plastic and even changed out the dinnerware when it rained again right after they had uncovered everything. I hardly even saw the team but they were on top of everything. Couldn't have found a more beautiful to get married!
