My fiancé and I met with Michelle on our venue tour and it was such a great experience! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the way it is set up is awesome since you have the ranch to yourself for your wedding day. The bridal suite was somewhat disappointing because of the size, but overall this venue is very much a contender for our wedding. Thanks Michelle for being so great and making sure everything we need can be accommodated :)

I spent a lot of time researching outdoor venues in the LA area, and The Walnut Grove just had the best of everything--beautiful scenery, big trees, cohesive feeling ceremony and reception space, AMAZING staff/vendors, and value! I knew that it was the right place for our wedding the moment we set foot on site for the informational meeting. I couldn't imagine a more perfect place to have an outdoor wedding. The venue itself is so beautiful that you really don't need much decoration--I went as minimalist as possible and everything still looked very elegant, fun, and modern. It is also a very well-designed space. I liked how the ceremony space was connected to the rest of the venue, but separate enough that during the ceremony it felt very intimate and open because you are literally in the grove of walnut trees. The reception space is very well-designed and equipped--it is almost fully paved, making it very accessible to our elderly guests and others with mobility difficulties. The t...

I don't have anything negative to say about this venue--Michele, Joe, and their staff are very willing to meet your needs and work with you to find the best solution. If you decide to go with Michele's wedding planning services through Mia Bella, I would highly recommend it!! We had the pleasure of working with Katie, who I could not praise more highly. She made sure the entire event went off without a hitch and was so flexible during the reception with switching things around when timing got tight. If anything happened that wasn't supposed to, my husband and I had no idea because Katie kept everything under such good control! THANK YOU KATIE!! We have been married for just over a month and a half now, and we still have people complimenting the venue and the wedding because it truly was our dream day.

We had an amazing experience having our wedding at Walnut Grove. Unfortunately, we had rain on our big day, but Michele and the Walnut Grove team rallied together to make the day spectacular. Joe from CPC and Michele were very organized with helping us get a tent and have a back up plan. In the end, although the venue looked different than we had initially anticipated due to the large tent, it turned out beautifully. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself and all of our guests kept commenting on that! Throughout the wedding and even for weeks after, guests kept commenting on how delicious the food was! Command Performance Catering is the contracted caterer. At first we were a little annoyed that there was an exclusive caterer, but it ended up working out very well. Our only complaint overall is that it seems like they nickel and dime you for every little thing that you would think would come with a venue...cocktail tables, a shelf to hold the alcohol behind the bar, getting m...

Walnut Grove was the most amazing venue! We fell in love with it after our first tour and the whole process was so easy! Michele and the whole team are great to work with and are true professionals. I did not need to worry about a thing on the wedding day and everything went perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue! The other plus is that it did not take a lot of extra decorating because the venue is so beautiful just as it is!

Very good venue! We had our wedding there a month ago. Location is beautiful and easy to get to. Only downsides are that the cut off time is 10pm and you have the option of their caterer. The people there are efficient and amazing to work with!

Before we booked Walnut Grove, they were very responsive, and it was easy to schedule a time to tour. We had our wedding in August, and it was absolutely gorgeous at the venue. They are partnered with Command Performance Catering, which made it easy, since we didn’t have to shop around for a caterer. I would definitely recommend this venue!

If you're a couple looking for an all outdoor, stunning, and naturally elegant venue a bit north of the LA area, look no further. Book Walnut Grove ASAP!! No matter where you stand/sit/dance at your wedding, your view of the world around you is breathtaking. We've been married only a week and still have guests and those not in attendance (but have seen photos online) RAVE that this is most beautiful venue they've ever seen. My husband and I couldn't agree more. If you visit their website, you can a decent vision of what your day might look like, but I highly highly recommend visiting the location in person. There are so many unique, remarkable elements about this venue that I can't even begin to put into words. For those of you worried about not being able to bring in your own catering, that should be the least of your concern if you choose Walnut Grove. Their partnership with Command Performance Catering is everything you could want from drinks, to apps, dinner, and dessert. They've g... Read moreot it all and do it in style! Although we live in Chicago and planning a wedding from afar was a bit challenging at times, the best decision we made for our wedding was to chose Walnut Grove for our venue. I promise if you visit the location in person, read other reviews, and view photos/videos captured at Walnut Grove, your mind will be made- Walnut Grove is the only choice. Additional plug for Burgundy Blue who captured most of the photos that I'm attaching! Another wonderful choice we made for the best day of our lives!

Our wedding at Walnut Grove was absolutely perfect. The venue is gorgeous on its own and Michele and Katie were so helpful throughout the planning process! The caterer, command performance, and the catering manager Joe are also amazing and everything turned out even better than we hoped. This venue is a hidden gem.

The location is beautiful and very private. The ceremony space and reception space is perfect. Michele is the best!

Walnut Grove is not only breathtaking but affordable! I loved that it was an open layout to the venue and that you could didn’t have to have completely separate sections for each moment. This is an absolute must to go see if you are planning a wedding. Everyone is so friendly (especially Miabella weddings). The bridal suite is perfect to hang with your girls and but your wedding gown on. My favorite thing about this venue is because it’s so beautiful, an abundant amount of decorations isn’t necessary, all you need is personal touches! All my photos turned out great because of the backdrop. This is the perfect place to get married.

Our wedding date was October 15, 2017. Michele Spring was our coordinator. Kimberlee Miller or photographer. Bruce Barrios our DJ. Command Performance for catering. These guys are seriously a DREAM TEAM. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect. The food, music, pictures, venue... everything spectacular. I had compliments all night on everything. The Walnut Grove is absolutely stunning and was a fairytale for us. Hands down beautiful and amazing. Worth every cent!

A beautiful wedding site run by a very professional crew. My daughter had her wedding there last September. We would recommend it. The only thing to be aware of that it is all outdoors so weather could be a factor.

I could not have asked for a better experience at the Walnut Grove. From beginning to end, the staff was available to answer questions and make sure the day ran seamlessly. The venue itself is so beautiful, that it didn't need much decoration to achieve the rustic romantic look I was going for. All of my guests loved the venue, and continue to talk about it, months later. I can't recommend this venue enough!

My daughter got married in May 2017 and this is the first review I am writing. Walnut Grove itself is beautiful for a wedding venue. The catering staff was excellent and the food the best. All the guests raved about it. The reason I am writing my review now is My son just got married in Santa Cruz and the photographer was so professional and pleasant to work with, he got all the pictures that were requested and they turned out fabulous....this has just brought back the disappointment we had with our photographer that is recommended on Walnut Groves website. Photography by Charisse....now I honestly don’t know how her pictures would have turned out because she did not actually shoot them as she was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time of our wedding (unknown by me) . I found out by our wedding planner at our rehearsal that she had her baby 3 weeks early and would not be at our wedding but was sending some girls that worked with her before. The setting was gorgeous and while some o... Read moref the pictures turned out well none were of the caliber I paid for. They not once fixed the brides hair or veil. And there are very few of her beautiful train. On top of this it took forever to get our thumb drive and I literally had to pick it up while driving to valley from Vegas where I live. Charisse told us on two separate occasions that she had mailed it but we never received it. There was no apology or compensation offered. Not that that would of helped as the day was over and the pictures were what they were. The reason I am writing this review now is I now realize what a true professional photographer is and am hoping to help someone not make this mistake at the end of the day the pictures are all you have and you should love them.
