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!

We instantly fell in love with this venue for so many reasons. First off, Michele is amazing and quite the asset. The venue itself was open, well maintenance, organized and beautiful. They just rebuilt the bridal suite which we loved. I love how they really let you choose your own vendors (outside of catering, but honestly it was nice not to worry about - just wish we had two options because i felt like the caterer knew we didnt have an option and fell short a bit - with that being said we were planning this during covid). They really offered the full package, customized options, flexibility, etc. They were very easy and professional to work with and everything turned out outstanding! The way they handled covid exceeded our expectations and we are SO lucky we chose them. Considering how hard it was during this time, they made this process EASY on us. We loved this place and could not have been happier with the venue and Michele!

To say that we were pleased with our choice of this venue is an absolute understatement. We are ECSTATIC THOUGH THE ROOF AND OVER THE MOON happy that we chose The Walnut Grove as our place to say “I Do” The way they communicated and pivoted during this COVID crisis is truly unmatched. The seamless communication and support of all their brides and grooms just radiated through every interaction. And lastly the annual “Vendors Day” that they hold made the planning process SO simple for an overwhelmed bride and groom! We were able to meet some of their top vendors (sometimes multiples from each category) and walked away having locked in a videographer, photo booth, bakery AND floral vendor! We haven’t even talked about the stunning pictures from such an organically magical venue.. They are everything a bride could want and more.

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.
