Choosing a Temecula property for your next party may seem like a no-brainer, but like any destination, it has its strengths and pitfalls. Before you explore more venues with us, here are some things to keep in mind:
Advantages
The weather in Temecula, CA, is highly reliable. With rainfall a rare occurrence, comfortable evenings, and warm days, you couldn’t ask for a better party day forecast.
Temecula Valley is surrounded by vineyards, so you’re guaranteed beautiful views on your special day. Plus, you can serve great wine grown, harvested, and bottled right in town!
A rich history in winemaking isn’t the only thing it's known for! The cuisine is exceptional; nearly every restaurant in town gets rave reviews.
It’s fairly affordable compared to other local wine regions and tourist destinations, but equally as stunning.
Disadvantages
Is this a destination wedding or a bach trip? There are several domestic airports in spitting distance but international flights will be some 80 miles away at LAX.
There’s plenty of laid-back nightlife to enjoy, but you’re not going to find a big clubbing scene around here.
Some of Southern California’s most stunning views are right here in Temecula, and they would make the perfect backdrop for any special occasion. Private parties have never looked this good!
Vineyards – Winery Weddings. If sipping some of the finest wine in Southern California paired with artisanal bites sounds like a picture-perfect party, don’t sleep on a private tasting event. While we can’t help but picture terrace ceremonies overlooking the valley followed by an intimate dinner amongst the grape vines, these vineyard venues would be well suited to all types of elegant affairs.
Rustic Ranches – Magical Countryside Escapes. Horses grazing, lush greenery, and refurbished barns, these outdoor venues are so picturesque you won’t believe your eyes—and neither will your guests! From an afternoon tea party to a dance under the twinkling lights, a farmhouse is always the right choice.
Live Music Venues – Line Dancing and Pub Grub. Whether you’re hosting an intimate concert or just an evening of imbibing with friends, you can’t go wrong with one of these indoor/outdoor bars. Complete with DJ booths, patios, beer and billiards, all steeped in Western influences, this is the laid-back party host’s perfect venue.
Party planning may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is ours. Here at Giggster, we’re committed to helping you host the perfect celebration, so we’re letting you in on our top planning secrets to make your next occasion a big hit:
Create a Group Chat – Do you have a team of friends or family who are helping you bring your vision to life? Create a group chat so you can bounce ideas off one another, delegate easily, and ensure everyone is kept in the loop at all times. This should help eliminate doubling up on tasks or someone missing the memo.
Plan an Activity – Party guests like to have something to do—lawn games, kids' play areas, wine and paint, or some source of live entertainment. It can be as extravagant or uncomplicated as you like, but it’s nice to offer as an icebreaker and as an opportunity to make memories.
Coordinate Parking and Transportation – Sometimes little logistics like parking can get overlooked. Don’t forget to consider how your guests will get to your venue. Is there on-site parking? Street parking in walking distance? A public lot one mile away? Depending on proximity and cost, it might be worth investing in a shuttle bus to get your guests to and fro. No matter what the plan is, don’t make your guests do the guesswork. Provide clear instructions and a map if necessary to avoid confusion.
Whether you are local to Temecula or flying in for a destination celebration, planning a party can cost a pretty penny. Here are some ways to keep costs to a minimum, but the guest experience at an all-time high:
Spread costs out over time.
While this doesn’t necessarily cost less money, it does help you manage the expenses without financial strain. If you schedule payments to vendors over months and plan to make purchases one at a time, you can avoid massive charges at the last second and panic-buying at higher prices.
Use technology to your advantage.
You may not have an AI personal assistant quite yet but technology can help reduce the number of vendors you need to hire. For example, you could use fades between songs and Spotify playlists for smoother transitions and a more professional sound, or set up your cellphone on a tripod for a DIY selfie station.
Serve unconventional but delicious desserts.
DIY desserts can be intimidating—not everyone knows how to bake a cake. But have you considered cookie ice cream sandwiches that can be scooped on the spot or a few dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme? Sweet treats don’t need to be artisanal to hit the spot.
Ready to bring your party vision to life? From Western-themed corporate events to weddings in fairytale gardens, a fun night in Temecula is only a few clicks away thanks to the Giggster app.
