Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Surrounded by nature's beauty, this relaxed mountain retreat on 5.5 acres in scenic Oak Glen positively exudes timeless charm. A sense of calm immediately envelops you amid the majestic oaks, towering sycamores, fragrant lilac fields, and heirloom apple orchards—a remnant of the property's past as a working farm.
  • Gorgeous old-growth trees grace the peaceful ceremony site. Here, vows are exchanged on a terraced stage in front of the picturesque façade of a country chapel with the green foothills as a backdrop. The reception courtyard is equally lovely, with wooden buildings, a weathered water tower, and the warm golden glow of gas lamps evoking a vintage elegance.
  • Their attentive staff, all-inclusive packages, and in-house vendors mean that you can relax and enjoy the day, taking advantage of your scenic surroundings. The photo ops throughout this locale are amazing, from lush lawns and woodsy paths to a waterfall spilling over boulders into a rock-strewn pool. You might even glimpse a deer or two grazing nearby since the area is a wildlife sanctuary!

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book The HomeStead in Oak Glen, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

The HomeStead in Oak Glen is an all-inclusive venue, so your package covers far more than the grounds. Every package includes a day-of coordinator, a planning meeting and on-site rehearsal, getting-ready time in The Cottage and Cabin, your ceremony and reception setup with tables, chairs, linens in 50+ colors and place settings, a buffet from a preferred caterer, a wedding cake from Michelle's European Bakery, florals, lemonade, sun tea and coffee, plus full setup and cleanup. You'll supply your own beer and wine, and a bar package with a bartender is priced separately. Extras like a dance floor ($300), propane heaters ($75 each) or added event hours ($1,650) are add-ons. Tax is already included, and there are no service, admin or corkage fees.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, both happen right on the 5.5-acre property at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, so nobody has to drive anywhere. Your ceremony takes place in an open-air space beneath oak and sycamore trees with a terraced stage, then guests stroll over to an outdoor reception with mountain views, string lights and Chiavari chairs. A hand-built bar sits between the two areas, and a fire ring for s'mores comes out later in the evening. The property comfortably holds about 180 guests.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to The HomeStead in Oak Glen or do we have to use yours?

Yes, outside vendors are welcome at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, and there's no extra fee for using them. The one exception is the DJ: outside DJs generally aren't allowed, and a DJ is included in your package. Packages come with a buffet from one of the venue's preferred caterers, a cake and florals, and each package lists a set credit if you'd rather drop items like catering, cake or florals. For drinks, you bring your own beer, wine or similar, and there's no corkage fee; a bar package adds a bartender and full bar setup.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, and is there a minimum?

At The HomeStead in Oak Glen, pricing is package-based and tax is included, with no service, admin or corkage fees on top. Micro Weddings start at $7,450 Monday–Thursday for up to 14 guests, plus $59 per added guest. The WeekDay Essentials package is $12,990 Monday–Thursday for 50 guests, plus $80 per added guest. WeekEnd Essentials covers 102 guests at $25,000 on Friday or $27,990 on Saturday, plus $95 per added guest. The all-inclusive Signature package for 102 guests runs from $22,990 Monday–Thursday to $29,990 on Saturday, plus $110 per added guest. Rather than a separate minimum spend, the package is your starting point, and your day of the week and guest count move the number most. A $3,000 non-refundable Facility Engagement Fee holds your date and goes toward your package.

How long do we get at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, and when does the music have to stop?

Your event time at The HomeStead in Oak Glen depends on the day: 5.5 hours on Fridays and Saturdays and 4.5 hours on Sundays and Monday–Thursday, plus 2.5–6.5 hours of getting-ready time in The Cottage and Cabin before it starts. Want more time on the dance floor? Extra event hours are $1,650, or $1,800 with the bar. The venue's available hours run 10:30am–10pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 9:30am–8pm Sunday–Thursday, and a DJ is included in packages to keep things moving.

If it rains on our wedding day at The HomeStead in Oak Glen, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

At The HomeStead in Oak Glen, your rain plan is a tent. Since it's an outdoor venue, the property can fit a 40' x 60' tent, which you can rent through a tent rental contract or bring in on your own, and whether you use one is entirely your call. The HomeStead sits at 4,734 feet in Oak Glen, so it runs roughly 10 degrees cooler than most inland cities, and propane heaters are available at $75 each or 6 for $425; order them ahead of your wedding day to get package pricing. The venue suggests a light sweater for May and June evenings and a jacket for late September through mid-November, so plan your guests' outfits with that in mind.

What makes The HomeStead in Oak Glen different from the other venues near it?

The HomeStead in Oak Glen is an all-inclusive, family-owned private estate that hosts just one wedding a day, so the whole 5.5 acres is yours. Your ceremony and reception both happen on site under centuries-old oaks, with heirloom apple trees, a lilac field and mountain views, and your wedding party gets ready in a private cottage and cabin a short walk away. A day-of coordinator, rehearsal, setup and cleanup are built into every package. Pets are welcome too, and the list goes well beyond dogs: cats, goats, horses and even sloths have made the cut. Book a tour and you'll get a drive through the Oak Glen apple orchards on the way.

Does The HomeStead in Oak Glen work for a small wedding or an elopement, and what would that look like?

Yes, The HomeStead in Oak Glen has a Micro Wedding package starting at $7,450 for up to 14 guests, Monday–Thursday, with added guests at $59 each. Weekend dates can open up if you book within 50 days of the date. It includes the ceremony site, a DJ for the ceremony and reception, a day-of coordinator, bouquets, boutonnieres and table florals, individual charcuterie plates, cake service, lemonade, sun tea and a bartender. You supply the beer and wine, and host alcohol insurance is included. It's a lovely way to get the full estate experience with your closest people.
