“Galway Downs is a beautiful venue! I love the staff, they are wonderful and take such good care of my couples. For several years, I have officiated many weddings at this venue.

“Had the best wedding the portofino. It was beautiful and so easy and fun for our out of town guests. The venue was beautiful and the staff was so helpful, from planning through to the day off. Chris and Rain were great! Loved the getting ready rooms. Loved the reception on the lawn. Loved the views. Loved the food! We got lots of comments on the food being great and the bartenders being lightening fast. We’d choose portofino again if we could do it all over.”

“Chateau Big Bear was the perfect venue for our yoga retreat celebration. Their communication with us throughout the planning process was very, very good - they were responsive, helpful, and made sure we felt taken care of every step of the way. The quality of their work and overall value was really beautiful. The staff was incredibly attentive and we loved the delicious breakfast they provided. The pool area was so lively and relaxing to sit by, and the decor throughout the hotel was excellent - it was clear they had hired an expensive decorator to create such an elegant and inviting atmosphere. Our yoga retreat weekend at Chateau Big Bear was absolutely perfect, and we would highly recommend this venue to any other yoga retreat looking for a beautiful and stress-free celebration.”
