This past Monday was the best day of my life—I married my best friend of 11 years, my soulmate, at the most perfect venue: Los Willows. This venue is truly what dreams are made of—a private Southern California oasis with an enchanting meadow, a romantic newlywed boat ride across a serene lake with a champagne toast, and a breathtaking reception space complete with a stunning chandelier ceiling. The photos don’t do it justice, but what truly makes Los Willows special is the incredible team behind it. From the moment I had my first conversation with our wedding coordinator, Lisa Moore, I knew we were in the best hands. Lisa isn’t just efficient—she’s passionate. On our big day, she was always five steps ahead, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free. She provided thoughtful amenities, invaluable advice, and, most importantly, a true sense of care. Lisa wasn’t just a coordinator—she became family. She and her team treated us like royalty, making every moment feel effortless and magical. The entire experience is something I will cherish forever, and there truly aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to Lisa and the Los Willows team for making my fairytale wedding a reality. If you or someone you know is planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and check out Los Willows—but not without asking for Lisa. She is the real magic.

We booked our August 2024 wedding with The Crossings in July 2022; partly because my mom was saying I needed to lock it in before it was too late since Covid messed up the wedding industry, but mostly because we knew it was were we wanted to get married. It is an all-inclusive venue, which means we didn't have to worry about rentals, the ceremony area, food, drinks, or a baker since they partner with VG's Donuts and Bakery. Lauren was there with us every step of the way and is truly the sweetest. The Crossings was super accommodating when we asked for adjustments to the menu and bar, and letting us girls get in to the bridal suite a little early. Also the food was tasty! Thanks a bunch to The Crossings :)
