The Oaks at Duncan Lane Wedding
The Oak at Duncan Lane completely blew me away when I first arrived with my couple on our walkthrough. It is a private owned venue just outside of Temecula. It is completely private and gated and as soon as you drive in you can tell this venue is very well loved.
They have a private parking area your guests can park in and then a small walk to where the main house is where the bride gets ready in. Let me tell you this house is a model home. The owners did not skimp on one detail. This house has so many open windows that is perfect for your makeup artist to do your makeup. Then upstairs the house has a full hair salon to get your hair done in.
Then there is a very cool den across the way the groom and groomsmen can hangout in and get ready in. This way the entire wedding party can be onsite the whole morning.
The venue is in the middle of this natural forest surrounded by beautiful tall greens and greenery.
My bride had such a vision of having all white flowers to make the venue more elegant and upscale. The venue has all of your guests being welcomed in front of the main house then escorted to the ceremony site which is a short walk from the main driveway.
After the ceremony your guests go up in between the main house and the grooms den to enjoy cocktail hour. There is also a bathroom in each house as well as public bathrooms a short distant from the cocktail hour area. The venue provides a bar and cocktail tables which are so nice. There is also more than enough room for your guests to mingle and enjoy the entire venue.
Then for the reception portion of the night your guests will make their way to this area above. These are actually the venues rentals that every couple gets access to for their wedding which is incredible! Let me tell you the rentals alone that come with this venue is saving you thousands of dollars and making your wedding really elevated.
The venue partners with Temecula Catering where you decide if you would like a buffet or plated meal. From my experience Temecula Catering has been really great with feedback and customizing your menu as much as they can for the amount of guests.
All the guests were very happy with their meal and service the venue provided them. The venue also comes with a DJ that is very familiar with the sound ordinance and is really great and will take great care of you. They also have a venue coordinator that will also make sure your wedding day is completely taken care of.
Everything from driving into the venue to your whole wedding day and night experience the venue and staff will completely take care of you as a couple. I can not recommend this venue enough. It was such a surprise to have such a beautiful hidden gem as a wedding venue that came with so many perks. It will leave you with hacing the best wedding and your guests having the best wedding experience.
