Galway Downs by Wedgewood Weddings 38801 Los Corralitos Road • Temecula • CA 92592

Time seems to slow down as you drive through the magical Temecula Valley Wine Country, gently winding past sun-kissed vineyards and sprawling ranches where horses leisurely graze.

But the magic reaches a whole other level when you arrive at Galway Downs, a luxurious 242-acre estate with breathtaking natural panoramas. In one direction, oak, eucalyptus, and olive trees shade lush green fields and rocky creeks. In another, whimsical footbridges span lily-laden ponds ringed by willows and flowers. Are you already picturing the dreamy photo ops?

With a 50-year history as a legendary equestrian event center, Galway Downs also embraces weddings amidst the beauty of this spectacular countryside. And there’s certainly no shortage of picturesque spots to tie the knot! Two ceremony favorites include Oak Falls, framed by dramatic boulders, oaks, and a cascading waterfall … and The Meadows, with its feathery pepper trees and flowing stream. Either of these areas can also be used for your social hour, as can The Paddock, an enormous amphitheater-style lawn that’s spacious enough for cocktail tables, lawn games, and an outdoor lounge—all at the same time!

Receptions are held in the barn-style historic Carriage House, which was recently remodeled with an eye towards blending the romance of the Old West with a chic, distinctly modern edge. Guests dine and dance beneath an open-raftered ceiling, and those who want a break from the festivities can drift over to the double-sided stone fireplace or belly up to the saloon-inspired bar. Sliding glass doors open to an airy terrace, so you’re always close to the great outdoors.

And getting married at this fairy-tale venue has never been easier: Wedgewood Weddings’ event packages are famously all-inclusive, and can be completely customized, from creating an artisan-inspired dinner menu to adding upgrades like floral centerpieces, a photo booth, and a grand sparkler-moment finale! There’s even a thoughtfully appointed two-bedroom Carriage Suite for the wedding party’s preparations. Most importantly, Wedgewood Weddings' stellar events team will help you put it all together and ensure that everything runs smoothly, from the planning to the bouquet toss, so you’ll be well on your way to happily ever after.
