Vellano Estate by Wedgewood Weddings 2441 Vellano Club Drive • Chino Hills • CA 91709

The approach to Vellano Estate by Wedgewood Weddings, past a gated entry and into the tree-studded hills of an exclusive upscale community, builds anticipation that is justly rewarded when you reach the clubhouse. Its Tuscan-inspired design features a red-tile roof, artful use of stonework, and stately Italian cypress trees…plus the hilltop setting affords endless vistas of the the lush Greg Norman golf course and the entire Chino Valley.

From the clubhouse, a landscaped walkway leads to Vellano Estate's enchanting ceremony site—a sprawling garden lawn with delicate white rosebushes lining the wedding aisle. At the end stands a charming pergola made of low stone columns topped with filigreed wrought-iron arches that are extra-pretty when adorned with garlands or hanging flower baskets. Couples exchange vows against a stunning tableau of emerald fairways, tree-and-villa-dotted hills, and a vast expanse of sky.

The cocktail hour is often held in the second-floor clubhouse Foyer, filled with light thanks to large, arched windows that frame lovely treetop views. Alternatively, refreshments may be served on the adjacent outdoor Terrace where guests also likely to drink in a spectacular sunset. The newlyweds, meanwhile, explore the grounds, posing for romantic pictures on a wooden bridge, beside the pond, and beneath the trees. Back at the clubhouse, a dramatic, S-shaped staircase makes a fun set-piece for family photos.

Both Terrace and Foyer open to the Grand Venezia Ballroom, where modern, gilded chandeliers, gold Chiavari chairs, and a neutral taupe-and-champagne palette impart an understated elegance to your reception. Lots of windows provide plenty of natural light as well as evening views, and a built-in bar and central dance floor add event-friendly elements. Need a quiet moment with your sweetheart? Step outside onto the Terrace and admire the stars above and city lights below.

Since this is a Wedgewood Weddings property, you can count on the personalized attention from staff who will guide you through your choice of menus, décor and preferred vendors, as well as help you customize your event for your specific needs and budget. The price tag for such a luxurious setting and high-caliber service is very reasonable, so you can experience extravagance without being extravagant!
