Los Willows Wedding Estate 530 Stewart Canyon Road • Fallbrook • CA 92028

Los Willows Wedding Estate in Fallbrook, California, is all-inclusive, so most of your vendor list is already handled. Every package includes five hours of event time plus two hours in private dressing suites, a venue coordinator and one-hour rehearsal, passed hors d'oeuvres and a chef-inspired dinner, a hosted bar and champagne toast, and a professional DJ and MC. You also get uplighting, a projector for slideshows, ceremony and reception chairs, 60" round tables with linens, china and glassware, candle and bud vase tablescapes, cake cutting, security and all setup and cleanup. After the ceremony, you'll take the "Just Married" boat cruise with champagne and appetizers. Plan separately for the service charge and sales tax, extra hours if you want them, and your own photographer, florist or other outside vendors.

Yes, everything happens on the 55-acre estate at Los Willows Wedding Estate. Choose a meadow ceremony under oak trees or a lakefront ceremony with a grand entrance by boat; each site seats up to 250 guests. Cocktail hour moves to the Lakefront Terrace bar with its outdoor fireplace, then dinner and dancing happen in the open-air pavilion, which seats 250 and is cooled or heated as needed. Want just the party? Reception-only weddings are welcome and still get the full five hours of event time.

At Los Willows Wedding Estate, catering and the DJ come from the venue, and every other vendor is welcome once your planner approves them and each one carries liability insurance. Outside alcohol isn't allowed, with one exception: you can bring up to two bottles of a specialty liquor the bar doesn't carry, for a $50 corkage fee per bottle. You're also free to hire your own wedding planner, though a venue planner and coordinator already come with your package.

You get seven hours at Los Willows Wedding Estate: two hours of private dressing suite access before the ceremony, then five hours for the ceremony and reception. Everything wraps by 10pm, a San Diego County rule for outdoor event venues. From November through February, weddings start at 3pm, because the sun dips behind the canyon's western hills early. You can add event hours for an extra charge, and the Meadow Romance package adds up to six more hours starting at 9am in the Bridal Salon.

If it rains at Los Willows Wedding Estate, your ceremony and reception both move into the covered pavilion, which seats up to 250 guests. The team checks the weather before 11am on your wedding day and sets up based on the forecast, and if rain looks likely, everything happens in the pavilion. It's the same space where you'd have dinner and dancing anyway, with draped ceilings, a crystal chandelier and a built-in dance floor, so the rain plan still feels like a wedding, not a workaround.

Los Willows Wedding Estate hosts one wedding a day, so the pavilion, grounds and lake on the 55-acre Fallbrook estate are yours alone. It's also all-inclusive: catering, a hosted bar, a DJ and MC, table florals, uplighting and an in-house planner and coordinator come with your package. And then there's the boat. You can arrive at a lakefront ceremony by boat, then take a "Just Married" champagne cruise as newlyweds. Dogs are welcome at the ceremony too, and the team regularly hosts Indian fusion and multicultural weddings.
